Chapter 78 Hiashi Hyuga's Tacit Approval, His Sister-in-Law's Admiration

"Hello, Uncle!"

Led by Hanabi, Yagyu soon met the head of the Hyuga clan, his future father-in-law.

Seeing Hyuga Hiashi dressed in a white kimono with a serious expression, Yagyu bowed politely.

"Yes, sit down."

Although Hiashi Hyuga had no expression, he didn't give Yagyu a bad look; it seemed more like he was maintaining the dignity of an elder.

He knelt down in front of a tatami tea table and gestured to Yagyu.

Yagyu was not used to such etiquette, but he still came to the futon opposite Hyuga Hiashi and knelt down.

Hanabi tugged at Karin's sleeve, inviting her to sit with her on the other two sides of the tea table.

Do you drink tea?

Hiashi Hyuga, carrying a kettle that had just boiled water, asked as he brewed tea.

Yagyu shook his head and said honestly, "No, I hate sour and bitter foods."

"Yes, at your age, it's indeed not suitable for you to drink tea."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded, then washed the tea set and poured a cup of hot water for the three of them.

After brewing himself some tea, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly placed his hands on his lap, bowed slightly to Yagyu, and said, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter these past few years."

"You're too kind, Uncle."

Liu Sheng was somewhat flattered and quickly returned the greeting.

Hiashi Hyuga's attitude was unexpectedly good, but it also showed that Yagyu's plan was very successful.

In the eyes of these powerful figures, including the ninja clan chiefs, it was now absolutely certain that Yagyu was a descendant of the Senju clan.

They might already know who the candidate for Fifth Hokage is, and they might even have heard about Tsunade's return to the village.

The Fifth Hokage was Tsunade, and Yagyu, who is very similar to the Second Hokage and also possesses the Second Hokage's Hard Vortex Water Blade, is a descendant of the Senju clan. His status is similar to Konohamaru during Hiruzen Sarutobi's tenure; he is the crown prince of Konoha.

With his talent in awakening the Senju clan's bloodline, and considering the history of Hokage, he will soon become the third Hokage from the Senju clan.

As long as Yagyu doesn't die prematurely and successfully realizes the talent of the Senju bloodline, he will most likely become the Sixth Hokage or the Seventh Hokage.

It's perfectly normal for Hiashi Hyuga, who is well aware of the Senju clan's influence on Konoha and the extent of the Hokage's power, to have this attitude.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile to himself.

Their attitude has become so good simply because Tsunade is about to succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

I wonder what Hiashi Hyuga's reaction would be if he knew that Hiashi possessed Wood Release.

At the same time, Yagyu also knew that Hiashi Hyuga's attitude meant he would tacitly agree not to interfere in his relationship with Hinata.

Liu Sheng's mood instantly became extremely pleasant.

"Hanabi, go and call your sister out."

After Hiashi Hyuga finished expressing his opinion, he spoke to Hanabi.

"Yes, Father."

Fireworks immediately responded and got up to leave.

Next, Hiashi Hyuga continued to find topics to chat with Yagyu: "During the Chunin Exams, thank you for going easy on Neji. Because of his father, I feel a great debt to this nephew."

"You're too kind, Uncle... Hinata and I are comrades, and not to mention Neji is her cousin, he's also a Konoha ninja. Of course, I would never kill him!"

"Even so, I still want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to mend my relationship with Neji."

"Although I don't know what happened, I still congratulate you, Uncle, on your reconciliation."

"By the way, who is this?"

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly changed the subject cleverly, looking at Karin who was kneeling obediently on his left.

Seeing Karin's vibrant red hair, and the chakra and life force that could be sensed even without activating her Byakugan, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Hyuga clan members, and a bold guess formed in their minds.

Yagyu's next words confirmed his guess: "Her name is Karin, she is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, so she is a distant relative of mine."

"I see. I didn't know that clan had descendants. That's wonderful."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed in realization, but a surge of secret joy welled up inside him.

Yagyu is indeed a descendant of the Senju clan, and he is accompanied by a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. It seems that their return with Tsunade and Jiraiya is not a coincidence.

Their relationship was not that of strangers among the tribe.

Perhaps Tsunade already knew about Yagyu's existence.

Whether the Second Hokage's Water Release technique was inherited from his family or sent back by Tsunade through unknown means, it shows that Yagyu's relationship with her was extraordinary.

His statement just now was indeed correct.

"Hello... my name is Karin."

Upon seeing Hiashi Hyuga's gaze directed her way, Karin immediately greeted the imposing Hiashi Hyuga with a hint of nervousness.

Karin, who hadn't read many books, had no idea about the adult world.

Not to mention her, even Yagyu, who has lived two lives, is having a bit of a headache right now.

He hated this scheming way of communicating, but he had no choice but to go along with it.

The thought of becoming the Sixth Hokage and having this kind of communication become the norm made Yagyu feel nauseous.

It's still a matter of lacking ability!

If I were to become the new God of Ninjas, I wouldn't need so much nonsense; I could just make it a one-man show.

Fortunately, the exchange ended quickly.

"Father, Mr. Yagyu."

Hinata, also dressed in a white kimono, came up to Hiashi Hyuga and Yagyu with Hanabi and greeted them politely.

"Yes, Yagyu is here to see you. You will entertain them on my behalf and do not bring shame to the clan," Hyuga Hiashi said solemnly.

"Yes, Father."

Hinata immediately nodded obediently.

"You young people can chat. You don't need to let me know if you're going out."

Hiashi Hyuga picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, then bowed slightly to Yagyu before getting up and leaving.

However, he did not call Hanabi away, so Hanabi stayed as well.

Once Hiashi Hyuga's chakra had dissipated, Yagyu immediately changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, as if he had unloaded some burden, and teased Hinata, "Uncle's aura is really strong. Hinata, you're better than me in this respect."

“Puff…”

Hinata's ladylike manners crumbled instantly.

Hanabi sat cross-legged next to Yagyu, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him and said, "Onii-chan, you're amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen a father like this."

"Really? I think Uncle is a nice person, just too serious."

Yagyu took the opportunity to pinch Hanabi's cheek.

Hanabi did not object to his actions.

As a precocious genius, Hanabi is a girl with a strong sense of self-esteem and a refusal to admit defeat.

However, she also has a hidden tendency to admire strength.

Having received training from Hyuga Hiashi since childhood, she looked down on her mischievous peers like Konohamaru, and her hobby was training with her father.

However, one thing is different from the original work: Hanabi never defeated her older sister who was five years older than her.

Hinata, who trained with Yagyu and the others since childhood, is a completely different person in her normal state and in battle.

In physical combat, Sakura and Ino never won against her.

Hinata didn't hold back even against her best friend, so of course she wouldn't go easy on her own sister.

In a no-rules duel, Hinata, who has mastered medical ninjutsu, might even be capable of injecting chakra into her sister's body.

It doesn't matter if I get injured, as long as I can get better.

This is a phrase that Ino Mikami learned from Yagyu, and it is also the result of Yagyu's training.

After Yagyu mastered medical ninjutsu, he frequently injured the three women in hand-to-hand combat, making them accustomed to pain at a very young age.

That's why Sakura wasn't flustered at all when she was beaten black and blue by Kin.

So besides her own father, Hanabi also greatly admires Hinata.

Especially after seeing her older sister go to the dojo to train every time she came back from going out, or use fish to practice medical ninjutsu, and master the Shadow Clone Technique before even graduating, Hanabi became even more curious about Hinata's "circle of friends".

When Yagyu and the others moved up to the sixth grade, Hanabi learned of Yagyu's existence.

There was no way around it; the Ino trio was just too famous at the Ninja Academy, and were considered public enemies by countless girls.

Hanabi, who had just enrolled, had seen the three girls surrounding Yagyu more than once.

From that time on, Hanabi began to pay attention to Yagyu.

While spending time with Hinata, Hanabi also discovered that her older sister's skills and ninjutsu were all taught by Yagyu.

More than a month ago, after learning that Neji's brother had been defeated by Yagyu, Hanabi became even more curious about Yagyu, and at the same time developed a slight admiration for him that she herself did not realize.

After witnessing him defeat Nara Shikamaru with the Phantom Body Flicker Technique, which shocked her father and countless ninjas to their feet, Hanabi's admiration for Yagyu deepened.

She also wanted to become as outstanding as her sister, and to shock her father like Yagyu.

And so, the scene just now unfolded where Hanabi hesitated, wanting Yagyu to teach her.

Seeing their father so friendly to Yagyu, a gentleness that neither sister had ever witnessed before, or whose memories of it had become very hazy, Hanabi could no longer conceal her admiration.

Of course, Liu Sheng didn't know that his sister-in-law's conquest was so easy, not because of his good looks, but because of his strength.

Seeing that Hanabi didn't object to his pinching her cheeks, Yagyu patted her head again, then smiled at Hinata and said, "Hinata, let me introduce you to a friend."

Yagyu raised his hand towards Karin and repeated what he had just said to Hiashi Hyuga: "Her name is Karin. She is a genin from Kusagakure whom I met during the second exam. She is also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, as recorded in history books. She is a distant relative of mine."

"Distant blood relative?"

Hinata's beautiful eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, "Yagyu-kun, are you really a descendant of the Senju clan?"

"Um."

Liu Sheng nodded and lied without blinking, saying, "Actually, I already knew about my background when I was seven years old, but I never admitted it for certain reasons."

Now, I don't need to hide anymore.

"Very good!"

Hinata let out a rare cheer, unable to hide her secret joy.

Just like her thoughts during the elimination rounds, if Yagyu is truly a descendant of the Senju clan, then she really has a chance to be with Yagyu-kun.

No wonder my father acted that way just now; it turns out he had already confirmed Yagyu-kun's identity.

Does that mean... Father actually approves of my relationship with Yagyu-kun?

Thinking of this, Hinata's cheeks flushed slightly, and her body temperature rose rapidly.

To distract herself, she knelt on the tatami mat and bowed to Karin, saying, "Hello, my name is Hinata Hyuga. Nice to meet you."

"Y-you...hello, my name is Karin, nice to meet you." Karin quickly returned the greeting, just as nervous as when she was facing Hiashi Hyuga.

There was nothing she could do; Hinata's haughty demeanor earlier had filled her with pressure and made her feel ashamed.

Are all of Yagyu-kun's friends noble ladies like this?

As an orphan from the small ninja village, she was on a completely different level from them!

Do they really respect themselves and want to be her friends?

As if sensing Karin's tension and worry, Yagyu couldn't help but smile at Hinata and say, "Karin is just like you were when you were little, so Hinata, you should take good care of Karin, just like Ino and Sakura did."

Hearing this, Hinata looked at Karin with some surprise, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand."

Just as Yagyu said to Sakura back then, Hinata also developed an immediate liking for Karin, who was her kind, because of Yagyu's words.

Only those who have been bullied and experienced the loneliness of having no friends can understand how painful that feeling is.

Back then, Yagyu and his two companions lent a helping hand to Hinata. This time, it's Hinata's turn to lend a helping hand to Karin, who is her "junior".

After introducing the two girls to each other, Yagyu smiled at Hinata and said, "Do you have any 'homework' today? If not, come with me to find Ino and Sakura. I'll take you somewhere."

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

Hinata was about to get up and go back to her room when Yagyu stopped her, saying, "No need, Hinata, you look quite nice in your kimono. Just go out like this."

"Um."

Hinata nodded shyly.

"that……"

Just as Yagyu and the others got up to leave, Hanabi suddenly grabbed Yagyu's sleeve, looked up at him with a hint of longing in her eyes, and said, "Onii-chan, can I go with you guys?"

"sure."

Yagyu crouched down and picked Hanabi up again, laughing, "If you want to come play with me anytime, you can come with your sister or by yourself."

"Uh-huh……"

This time, Hanabi didn't let Yagyu put her down. Instead, she took the initiative to hug Yagyu's neck, nodding repeatedly, and a big smile appeared on her cute, chubby little face.

Seeing her younger sister getting along so well with the person she likes, Hinata smiled happily.

With her father's tacit approval and her sister's closeness, if she could really be with Liu Sheng, it would be like a dream come true.

Just thinking about that scene makes me smile with happiness.

Because Hiashi Hyuga had said that he didn't need to inform him before going out.

Yagyu carried Hanabi and led Hinata and Karin out of the Hyuga clan's territory.

Along the way, many members of the Hyuga clan were stunned by this scene.

Whether they knew Yagyu or not, they were all deeply impressed.

Holding the second young lady in his arms, with the eldest young lady by his side, could this be the future son-in-law?
