Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

"So, you came here looking for a place to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

A man with white hair, resembling a bird's nest and covering half his face, stood at the door, speechless, watching the little brat knocking on his door in the middle of the day.

"Yeah, what if that guy comes to arrest me again?"

"I need someone to protect me."

"After all, you don't want outsiders to take your disdain for you, do you?"

Hinata looked intently at Kakashi, who clearly had slept until noon.

"Then why don't you just go home?"

With Hyuga's security forces, they are far more reliable than if I were alone.

That's what Kakashi thinks.

"I skipped class. If I go home, my dear dad will drag me to the ninja academy."

Hinata stated the facts as a matter of course.

"..."

"You've convinced me. Come in."

Kakashi silently stared at the brat in front of him.

Kakashi had a similar attitude to Hinata towards ninja academies.

I don't like it.

Only a former genius could understand why Hinata wanted to skip ninja school so badly.

Therefore, Kakashi could understand Hinata skipping class.

Thank you!

In order to maintain her persona, Hinata politely thanked her.

"It's lunchtime. Do you want to go out to eat with me later?"

As Kakashi led the kid into his house, he scratched his head and asked...

The three generations of adults said that they should live in the sunlight, so wouldn't inviting a truant kid to dinner be part of living in the sunlight?

"May I?"

"I have a huge appetite!"

Hinata looked at Kakashi with a surprised expression.

"It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."

Kakashi didn't take Hinata's claim of having a large appetite to heart.

It's worth noting that he graduated from the Ninja Academy in one year and has been a ninja ever since. Apart from daily expenses and ninja tool costs, he basically has no hobbies. In other words, Kakashi Hatake is quite wealthy.

In particular, he hasn't touched his father's inheritance much.

How much can a mere six-year-old kid eat?

……

……

"Boss!"

"One hundred more plates of beef, please!"

Inside the Konoha Akimichi BBQ restaurant, Kakashi silently stared at the almost mountain of empty plates in front of him.

He could no longer find the words to describe his feelings at that moment.

The little devil in front of me has already had five extra meals.

Was the humanoid creature sitting opposite him not some monster disguised as a human?

Is this guy six years old?

Who has a six-year-old who can eat so much?!

Or are all the Hyuga kids this big eaters?!

In Kakashi's memory, the Akimichi clan members were already considered Konoha's biggest eaters, but this kid's appetite was estimated to be greater than that of three Akimichi clan members combined...

"Um, can I have some more?"

Hinata noticed Kakashi's strange gaze and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She tentatively asked him a question.

embarrassment?

Embarrassing my foot!

Seeing this guy's horrified expression is so funny it makes you want to burst out laughing.

How delightful! Hmm!

"...It's alright, it's okay for the child to eat more."

Kakashi forced a smile, trying to make himself look less heartbroken.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

As the waiter brought over another cart of food, Kakashi, with his deadpan expression, began grilling meat for the kid in front of him.

After the meal, Kakashi stared at the mountains of empty plates, lost in deep confusion.

Hokage, the world under the sun seems a bit expensive...

When Kakashi, feeling the pinch in his wallet, was about to ask his boss for leniency to go back and get his money, he was surprised to learn that someone had already paid in advance.

"Don't overthink it, Miss may have a slightly wicked sense of humor."

"But overall, he's a very nice person."

A hand landed on Kakashi's shoulder, causing him to turn his head to look.

Kakashi recognized this person; it was Hyuga Tokuma.

He was the bodyguard that Hyuga Hiashi carefully selected for his daughter.

Kakashi stared at the thick stack of bills in the other person's hand and fell silent.

"What do you mean?"

Kakashi, who had been in the Anbu for many years, didn't quite understand what "mischievous taste" meant.

"Well, to put it bluntly, your tearful expression at the dinner table just now has already satisfied Hinata's interest."

Hyuga Tokuma scratched his head and began to explain.

Kakashi took the thick stack of bills from Hyuga Tokuma, and couldn't help but feel a little silent.

"It is wrong to satisfy one's own emotional needs by seeing others suffer."

Kakashi began to speak methodically.

He had seen many such people during his time in the shadows, and none of them had a good ending.

"It's not as serious as you say. Hinata-san is just a little... emmm..."

"She's just a little too lively."

Hyuga Tokuma stroked his chin and added.

This left Kakashi speechless.

"Hey, you two, hurry up and catch up!"

Hinata's shouts came from not far ahead.

-

Hinata doesn't like the ninja academy.

Kakashi also disliked the Ninja Academy.

Hinata felt that the ninja academy was a waste of her time.

Kakashi also felt that the Ninja Academy was a waste of his time.

Therefore, Hinata and Kakashi are the same person in a certain sense.

But this doesn't mean Kakashi would let Hinata stay with him and skip class.

So when Hinata stayed at her house after finishing her meal, Kakashi learned, without being taught, the traditional teacher tactic of telling her parents.

"You bastard Kakashi, I treated you to dinner!"

Kakashi stood at the doorway, watching Hinata being grabbed by the collar and dragged away by Hiashi Hyuga, without making a sound.

"Next time I..."

Kakashi instinctively wanted to say that he could bring it back, but stopped himself in time.

I'll treat anyone to a meal, except Hinata.

One meal can cost as much as half a month's worth of food.

"Shut up! You're so outspoken. I've never taught you to be like this before."

When his daughter kept calling him "father," a tic appeared on Hyuga Hiashi's forehead.

The Hyuga clan is known for its strict adherence to rules. If Hinata isn't taught the rules, she will ruin the Hyuga clan's reputation!

Well, that's assuming they can teach it...

"My dear father, I'm just being frank!"

You should be praising me!

Hinata, who was lifted up by Hiashi Hyuga, retorted eloquently.

Hiashi Hyuga's lips twitched upon hearing this.

He truly didn't know how Hinata had turned out so badly under the influence of her own Hyuga family's traditions.

"That's enough!"

"Go back and copy the family rules ten times!"

Hiashi Hyuga said, unable to bear it any longer.

"I'm not writing it. Let whoever wants to write it write it!"

Hinata refused without hesitation.

Hiashi Hyuga: ...

He was out of ideas.

Given the Hyuga clan rules that forbid children from using violence, he truly couldn't do anything about Hinata.

Or rather, even if Hinata had the power to take action, she would simply choose to run away.
