Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 19 Test
"Do you think she would be a good candidate?"

Hinata Yuzuru was lost in thought, drumming his fingers on the table.

Hinata Hizashi was not as worried as him. He just sat and looked at his son with a leisurely attitude.

It was rare to see him look so uncertain, which he found very interesting.

"of course."

"If she wants to harm you, in fact, with the information she has, there is no need for her to jump out at this time. She can just wait until your plan is advanced and find the flaws before doing anything."

"She came out so directly. If you were ruthless, you could even use what she said as an excuse to kill her. In my opinion, Xun's credibility is still very high."

Hinata Hizashi put down the scroll in his hand.

It contained all the information about Hinata Kaoru that he had sent his confidants to investigate.

“Withdrawn and aloof.”

“Low-key and inconspicuous.”

"A poor girl as quiet as the air."

"It seems that he likes Master Yuzuru."

Hinata Hizashi read sentence by sentence the clan members' impressions of Hinata Kaoru from the investigation.

Especially in the last sentence, the tone is emphasized.

Hinata Yuzuru turned his head speechlessly and looked at his father: "Father."

"I always like to secretly follow Master Yuzuru."

“I always feel like he’s a shady guy.”

"Every day I stare blankly at the route that Master Yuzuru takes when he goes out."

"A guy who is not diligent at all and has failed to live up to his ninja talent."

Hinata Hizashi continued reading, always emphasizing some ambiguous records.

Hinata Yuzuru pretended not to hear it, but it brought back many memories.

No wonder I always feel that Hinata Kaoru is both strange and familiar.

The so-called strangeness is that she has never taken the initiative to say a word to him.

The reason why she was familiar to him was that, in his memory, her appearance rate was indeed abnormally high.

When going out, when returning home from school, when going to the martial arts arena, when chatting with others.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that in these daily scenes, you can always capture Hinata Kaoru's presence like a background board.

She doesn't even look directly at herself, just seems to be doing something nearby.

Wait, isn't this even more terrifying?

"Her mother died early, and her father was rarely at home. Now she can only live on her own. She lacks warmth and discipline. It's normal that she considers things from a different perspective than you." Seeing Hinata Yuzuru fall into deep thought, Hinata Hizashi couldn't help but explain a few words on behalf of Hinata Kaoru.

In Hizashi Hyuga's opinion, Yuzuru Hyuga might have been frightened by the little girl's enthusiasm. After all, no matter how precocious he was, he couldn't learn the relationship between men and women without any guidance, right?

But Hinata Yuzuru knew that he had no misunderstanding at all.

"Don't get me wrong, I get it."

"Starting tomorrow, I will train her as a guard."

"Other things can be discussed later. People with extreme emotions are a double-edged sword. I must ensure that the blade will not hurt myself. Moreover, people who only have emotions but no abilities are of no use to us. Da, there is no need to rush, see her ability first, and then make plans."

Seeing Hyuga Yuzuru's look, Hyuga Hizashi knew that he already had a plan, but she couldn't help feeling complicated about the coldness in his words.

Hinata Yuzuru stood up and took the initiative to end today's conversation: "That's it, I will personally conduct her teaching and inspection."

After walking out of the room, Hinata Yuzuru raised his head and looked at the bright moon.

It seems that he is not the only bird that longs to spread its wings and fly high.

As a rational person, Yuzuru Hinata would never place his hopes on others like Kaoru Hinata did. In this world, the only thing that is always trustworthy is your own strength.

Returning to the room, Hinata Yuzuru quickly fell asleep without worrying too much.

After waking up, as agreed with Elder Hyuga before, he went to the Zong family to receive two hours of 'private training'.

Today, Elder Hyuga finally gave him some useful information and taught him the clan's secret technique of Bagua-Empty Palm.

But unfortunately, Hinata Yuzuru no longer needs it.

In fact, the system sent a prompt as soon as I learned this secret technique.

[It is detected that Bagua·Empty Palm (A) and Gentle Fist·Small God Air Attack (A) have a high degree of overlap. Do you want to spend free experience points to fuse the two skills? ]

[7982 free experience points have been spent.]

[Fusion completed. 】

[Soft Fist·Small God Air Strike (A): Level 5 (4782/8000)]

In this way, the experience value of Xiaogami's air attack jumped sharply. At the same time, the skill itself was also slightly strengthened, making it more suitable for the combat system of the Byakugan.

But that's about it.

Hyuga Yuzuru controlled the speed of the 'practice', urging the soft fist according to the Bagua Kongzhang method step by step, so that he did not need guidance or supervision.

The Hyuga elder was very satisfied, and even wanted to train Hinata Yuzuru for another hour, but he found an excuse to refuse and turned back home.

Even if it's training, wouldn't training in one's own home be more rewarding than inefficient acting under his nose?
However, as soon as he walked into the door of the branch family, Hinata Yuzuru couldn't help but stop.

Looking to the side, he saw Hinata Kaoru who had been waiting respectfully at the door for a long time.

Today, she was still wearing a white dress. She looked more like an ordinary weak girl than a ninja. When she saw Hinata Yuzuru, she bowed her head and said softly: "Welcome home, Yuzuru-sama." .”

"Ah."

Hinata Yuzuru's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, but Hinata Kaoru just smiled at her respectfully and kindly. When he turned around and took steps, he naturally followed him and walked home together. When she met an acquaintance, she would just smile and explain that she was chosen to be Master Yuzuru's bodyguard.

As a result, everyone smiled narrowly and incomprehensively.

Guard?

However, when they thought deeply about this issue, they suddenly realized that this matter was not as superficial as they thought.

How strong is Hinata Kaoru?

When everyone thought about it carefully, they all fell into deep thought, just because, no matter whether they asked their friends around them or thought about it themselves, no one understood what kind of strength Hinata Kaoru possessed now.

When he got home, Hinata Yuzuru didn't stop and went straight to the training ground.

“This is my first time coming here.”

As soon as he stepped into the training ground, Hinata Xun couldn't help but sigh out loud.

She looked around the martial arts arena curiously, and finally stopped on a solid wood and iron human-shaped target that had been hit and twisted.

"Xun, is it okay for me to call you that?"

Hinata Yuzuru asked first.

Hinata Kaoru shook his head, turned his eyes to Hinata Yuzuru, and did not move away: "Of course, or rather, if you can call me that, I'm happy."

Her smile was sincere, but Hinata Yuzuru just looked at her calmly: "Attack me with all your strength."

"Yes!" Hinata Xun's expression became more serious.

She first looked at her skirt, looking at it with some pity, and then pulled off the hem of her skirt - the dress was beautiful and fit her body well, but it may not be suitable for fighting.

Then, Hyuga Xun raised his head, his eyes seemed impatient: "Master Yuzuru, can I make a move?"

Hinata Yuzuru just looked at her calmly: "Please do your best and don't let me down."
