Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Chapter 111 Hanabi adores her older sister!

Hinata, Hanabi, Karin, and Neji squatted to one side of the Hyuga clan compound, watching Toneri assemble the building blocks—oh no, the puppets—that Rock Lee had smashed.

Toneri's puppets are different from those of the puppeteers in Sunagakure. The principle behind them is that he channels his own chakra into the puppet's body, and the puppet can then fight automatically according to Toneri's will.

Its principle is similar to that of shadow clones.

Hinata once asked Toneri why the puppets couldn't be combined into one larger puppet.

Sheren's answer was simple: his skills didn't meet the standard.

Hinata was speechless.

"Hinata, don't you and Toneri have a third exam?"

"Is it really okay to have so much free time?"

Karin looked at Hinata, who was holding her younger sister and leisurely watching Toneri assemble the puppet, and couldn't help but speak up.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Are you worried I can't beat Naruto?"

Hinata, holding Hanabi, rested her chin on her sister's head and answered in a muffled voice.

Hinata was aware of her situation.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is the core, supplemented by Gentle Fist, Heavenly Return, Empty Palm, Revolver Style, Hand Sword Shadow Clone, and Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags.

Plus an instant-open guarantee.

A system unique to Hinata has been formed.

If you want to improve further, learning all sorts of random techniques will only be superfluous, useless, and a waste of time.

Instead of wasting time, it's better to wander around aimlessly. You might just encounter something that sparks a flash of inspiration and gives you further insights.

Moreover, Hinata currently knows that the way to take herself further is by training in Sage Mode.

But Hinata didn't want to deal with the frogs of Mount Myōboku.

They can only place their hopes on Ryuchi Cave or Shikkotsu Forest, where Tsunade made a contract.

As for Ryuchi-dong—

Hinata estimated that Orochimaru would probably not be happy to hand over the summoning contract from Ryuchi Cave to her.

"That's true."

"Hinata is already very strong, Naruto is definitely no match for her."

Karin nodded upon hearing this.

Hanabi, who was in Hinata's arms, turned her head.

Is my older sister amazing?

How powerful is it?

Young Hanabi had never seen Hinata actually fight; she only remembered that her older sister had knocked her down in just a few Gentle Fists.

"Because of Neji, that blond guy has developed a prejudice against me."

When Naruto was mentioned, Hinata couldn't help but glance wistfully at Neji standing to the side.

—"

Neji was somewhat speechless.

"Oh, I didn't expect Naruto to care so much—"

Neji scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"Just tell me what to do?"

Seeing her brother in this state, Hinata had no intention of letting him off the hook.

"----I----"

Neji was somewhat speechless. Although he was a year older than Naruto, he knew Naruto's personality; he was someone who would never admit defeat.

It will probably be difficult to persuade Naruto.

"Then treat me to dinner."

"Maybe I'll forgive you once I've eaten my fill."

Seeing Neji's helpless expression, Hinata couldn't help but laugh, and then she brought up her conditions.

"----good."

Neji nodded heavily.

He felt it was necessary to ask his dad for some pocket money.

No, this is no longer a problem that can be solved with pocket money.

It's necessary to ask Dad for two months' worth of living expenses to fill Hinata's stomach.

"I want to eat lobster!"

They truly are sisters.

When Hanabi, who was in Hinata's arms, heard that someone was inviting her to dinner, her eyes immediately lit up.

Neji: ————

It's safer to ask my dad for four years' worth of living expenses, plus the rewards I've accumulated over the past two years should be enough.

"no problem!"

Let's all go together.

Having decided to go all out, Neji readily invited everyone present to join him.

"Yay!"

"Thank you, Neji-nii-nii!"

Hanabi happily raised her hands upon hearing this.

"You should be thanking me, you ungrateful little brat."

Hinata reached out and rubbed Hanabi's cheek, looking annoyed.

"Waaah, let me rest a bit~"

Hanabi, whose face was being rubbed, let out a whimpering sound that was hard to understand.

The younger sister is the older sister's slightly temperamental servant.

That statement is absolutely correct.

In one of the few seafood restaurants in Konoha, Hanabi, with a pouty little face, peeled shrimp after shrimp for Hinata.

Hinata was in charge of eating, and Hanabi was in charge of peeling.

Meanwhile, Neji was constantly calculating how much money he would need to pay next.

Toneri and Karin had already finished their meal and joined in peeling shrimp for Hinata.

Neji was calculating the accounts, his face expressionless, but in reality, he was already caught in a dilemma.

If we keep eating like this, we'll run out of money soon.

I was careless after all.

"Feed————"

Neji quietly moved closer to Toneri.

"What's wrong?"

The attendant looked at Neji with some confusion.

"Lend me money."

Neji remained calm and spoke those three extremely sensitive words with an air of self-righteousness.

Sheren: ————

"Thank you for the meal!"

"My dear brother."

Looking at the table full of shrimp shells, Hinata wiped her mouth with satisfaction.

"Waaah, my sister's mean—"

Hanabi felt a little aggrieved at that moment.

We agreed to eat shrimp, but I only ate a few myself; I peeled all the shells for my sister.

My hands were red from peeling them.

"Little Firework is amazing, she peeled so many."

"Can Little Firework keep peeling shells for her older sister from now on?"

Hinata held her beloved younger sister's reddened hands, her eyes filled with concern.

"able!"

Seeing the pained look in her sister's eyes, Hanabi couldn't help but speak up immediately.

?

What am I saying?!

She's clearly a bad older sister!!

Fireworks, realizing the situation too late, was somewhat annoyed.

"Hanabi is so wonderful. I feel a little sad when I think about her getting married in the future~~~"

Hinata smiled upon hearing this and reached out to gently pinch Hanabi's cheek.

"I don't want to get married!"

"I want to stay by my sister's side forever!"

Hanabi pouted, shook her head, and said with a reluctant expression.

"Really?"

"That's wonderful! As expected of my sister, I really love her~"

Hinata looked delighted and immediately hugged her silly, adorable little sister.

"Hanabi also really loves her older sister!"

Hanabi, who was being held in someone's arms, responded happily in a muffled voice.

The three of them, Toneri, Neji, and Karin, watched this scene with blank expressions.

I don't know why, but I always feel like Hinata is abducting children.

Maybe it's just my imagination —

After all, they are sisters. Hinata wouldn't lie to Hanabi, would she?

at the same time----

"Hey, you lecherous old man!"

"They were spying on us!"

Following Kakashi's instructions, Naruto found a white-haired, lewd old man peeping into the women's bathhouse with binoculars near a Konoha bathhouse.

Upholding his moral principles and sense of justice, Naruto, who has become a messenger of justice, does not hesitate to try to stop the other party's evil and despicable behavior!
