Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

A misty haze hung in the air, and warm-colored lights illuminated the hazy space from above.

Hinata was soaking in the huge bathtub, and her body couldn't help but relax.

She gently moved her hands, making a splashing sound.

Looking at her hands, which were red from being submerged in water, Hinata couldn't help but think about what would happen next.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out.

However, this has nothing to do with me.

It was entirely their own doing.

After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, he had a full six years to train and grow in peace.

Hinata has already mastered the Gentle Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm techniques of the Hinata school; she only needs to refine them over time and as she gets older.

Hinata wouldn't need much time to learn the Hyuga clan's secret techniques, such as the Eight Trigrams Palm and the Rotation Technique. And naturally, she wouldn't waste those six years at a place like the Ninja Academy.

Just as Hinata had thought, she wanted to get the Flying Thunder God Technique from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Of course, it would be even better if we could get our hands on multiplicative detonating tags.

After all, the Hyuga family is very large and powerful, and their warehouse has a lot of explosive tags.

The Hyuga clan also has a bunch of these warehouses for storing explosive tags.

So...

Hinata blinked.

She suddenly realized that she didn't seem to understand her own place.

He was the heir of the Hyuga clan, the future head of the clan, and one of the pillars of Konoha. Even if he were a useless person in the entire ninja world, no one would look down on him as the head of the Hyuga clan.

Why can't he just have his father, Hiashi Hyuga, ask Hiruzen Sarutobi for the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Splash!

Hinata suddenly stood up from the water, revealing her tender, slightly pink, flat body.

She couldn't wait any longer!

She wants it now!

rub rub!

With her short legs, Hinata quickly dried herself off, put on her clothes, and rushed towards the Hyuga Hiashi's house.

"Hey, Hinata-sama!"

Hinata Natsu, who was guarding the door, only felt a gust of wind blow past her. When she came to her senses, she realized that her young lady had already disappeared.

……

Bang bang bang!

Hiashi Hyuga's study was struck with a deafening bang, causing him to frown as he practiced calligraphy. His brush slipped from his hand, leaving an unsightly, crooked stroke in what was originally a grand and imposing character.

"What's wrong now?"

Hiashi Hyuga reluctantly pushed open the door. From the sound of the knock, he knew who had come to see him.

Apart from Hinata, no one in the entire family would be so presumptuous.

"My dearest father, I need to discuss something with you~"

Hinata blinked, looking at Hiashi Hyuga with an innocent and carefree expression.

Looking at Hinata, whose hair wasn't even dry, Hiashi Hyuga instinctively wanted to refuse.

Hinata had never spoken to him in such a cloying tone before.

"Come in..."

Hiashi Hyuga let Hinata into the house, then took a hairdryer from a drawer and dried Hinata's wet hair.

There shouldn't be a hairdryer in the study, but because Hinata has always been so willful, her study has become cluttered with all sorts of things.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

As the hairdryer hummed, Hiashi Hyuga asked questions while drying his daughter's hair.

"My dear father, you know, I've always greatly admired the Second Hokage of the village!"

Hinata sat quietly on the stool, feeling the buzzing sound in her head as she spoke.

???

When did you start idolizing the Second Hokage?

Hiashi Hyuga paused slightly in his movements, and three question marks appeared above his head.

"so what?"

"I want the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mutual Explosive Tags!"

……

Late night

Hiashi Hyuga sat alone in his study, a look of sorrow on his face.

He recalled Hinata's request not long ago.

This was the first time Hinata had asked him, her father, for help.

He didn't want to disappoint his daughter.

but……

The Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags are both secret techniques created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and both are S-rank forbidden techniques.

At the same time, Hiashi Hyuga also learned that Hinata was no longer troubled by the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist.

I really do have a genius daughter...

The tall man leaned back in his chair, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across the table and landing on the photo frame on the desk.

This is a family photo taken two years ago.

Apart from Hiashi Hyuga, only four-year-old Hinata had her arms around the neck of a gentle and beautiful woman, nestled in her arms.

This is his deceased wife, and Hinata's deceased mother.

"Nao..."

Hiashi Hyuga softly murmured his wife's name.

After a long while, Hiashi Hyuga stood up, a helpless yet indulgent smile on his face.

The child wants...

As the father, he couldn't just refuse to give it to me...

Fortunately, Hinata didn't mention the Second Hokage's Edo Tensei.

This should be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, right?

next day

Hokage Building

Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in Hokage robes, was stopped by staff as soon as he stepped into the Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage, the Hiashi clan chief has been waiting for you in the conference room for a long time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Hiashi Hyuga?

What is he doing here so early?

After a moment's thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked toward the conference room without hesitation.

After all, he's from the Hyuga clan; the Hokage can't be ignored.

"Lord Hokage."

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi entered, Hiashi Hyuga came forward to greet him.

"Hiashi, why are you here so early today, looking for this old man?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke to Hiashi Hyuga with great warmth.

"Lord Hokage."

Hiashi Hyuga gave a helpless, wry smile, which piqued Hiruzen Sarutobi's curiosity.

"The Hokage knows that I have a daughter, Hinata Hyuga."

Hiashi Hyuga slowly opened his mouth.

"I know, she's a very clever girl. Hiashi isn't here because he hit Naruto again yesterday, is he?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi burst into laughter.

???

Did Hinata beat up that Nine-Tails brat again yesterday?

Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga's expression faltered slightly.

"Uh, that's not the case."

Hiashi Hyuga suppressed his emotions and explained:

"It's because my daughter Hinata admires the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of reminiscence:

"I see. Tobirama-sensei is indeed a rare and outstanding person in the ninja world. It is only natural for Hinata to admire Tobirama-sensei."

"What, does Hinata want this old man to tell her the story of Tobirama-sensei?"

Hiashi Hyuga paused for a moment upon hearing this, then spoke:

"Lord Hokage, my daughter wishes to learn the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique and Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression froze slightly.

What did you say?

Your six-year-old child wants the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Talisman?

And you, the Hyuga clan leader, actually came to our door in person for such a seemingly joking request?!
