Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Something seems off about Chapter 4!

Hiashi Hyuga paused upon hearing Hinata's words, almost instinctively wanting to refute them.

That child is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki. If the Nine-Tails goes berserk, those closest to the child will often be the first to get hurt, so try to stay away from him.

Moreover, besides that, the child has another extremely sensitive identity, especially for a large clan like the Hyuga. If they get close, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings, which goes against the Hyuga's consistent principles of conduct.

Hiashi Hyuga originally intended to use this reason to admonish Hinata.

But looking at Hinata's still-childish face, he couldn't bring himself to say the words that were full of adult rationality.

"Hinata is right..."

Hiashi Hyuga patted Hinata's head, his words revealing a rare tenderness.

Indeed, the world of children is often innocent.

Even as rebellious as Hinata is, she still harbors a pure heart.

However, this innocence will gradually be erased as one grows up.

"Since Hinata has no prejudice against him, why did she beat up that kid?"

The two walked on the streets of Konoha, just like an ordinary father and daughter.

"That guy acted all high and mighty, saying things like girls should be protected by boys. He was clearly looking down on me. Wasn't he just asking for a beating?"

Hinata spoke indifferently.

Hiashi Hyuga smiled without saying a word.

Well, in Hiashi Hyuga's view, this reason is truly impeccable.

Especially considering that he is Hinata's father.

You little blondie, you've already learned how to pick up girls at such a young age?!

Just like your father!

Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga's dissatisfaction with Hinata beating Naruto vanished instantly, and he even felt that Hinata hadn't hit him hard enough.

"Does that guy even have the right to say that?"

"I should have been the one saying that to the other girls!"

Hinata crossed her arms over her chest, her face full of disgust.

Yes, yes, yes, is it any of that nine-tailed brat's place to say that?

You should only speak from your own precious daughter!

Hiashi Hyuga clapped his hands in approval, clearly agreeing with Hinata's words, but halfway through, his body suddenly stiffened.

Ok? !

and many more! !

Something seems wrong!

……

Hokage Building

Hokage's Office

"Lord Hokage, I'm so sorry, my daughter's mischievousness has caused you trouble."

The father and daughter had arrived in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiashi Hyuga, who usually kept his emotions hidden, showed a hint of apology on his face and bowed slightly to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It's nothing, just kids playing around."

"There's no need to worry about Japan."

Seeing Hiashi Hyuga's attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly put down the document he was annotating and went to Hiashi Hyuga's side to help him up.

"This must be Jushiro's granddaughter."

"That old man would probably be so happy to come back to life if he knew how outstanding his granddaughter was."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hinata and smiled as he continued speaking.

"Exactly."

"Hinata, why aren't you calling him Hokage-sama?"

Hyuga Hiashi opened his mouth.

"Why call me Hokage-sama? Call me Grandpa. Back then, I fought alongside Toshiro and we called each other brothers."

Hiruzen Sarutobi feigned anger and spoke.

"Grandpa Naruto".

Hinata, seeing this, readily took the opportunity to climb the ladder.

"..."

Hiashi Hyuga's expression became slightly puzzled upon hearing this.

Hinata wasn't usually this obedient...

"Haha, good boy."

"Hiashi, this kid is much better than you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi burst into laughter, jokingly pulling Hiashi Hyuga's hand.

"Uh, please excuse my poor performance, Hokage."

Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi could only helplessly agree.

After exchanging a few more words, Hyuga Hiashi took Hinata's leave.

Hiashi Hyuga's visit was simply in accordance with the Hyuga clan's long-standing principles of conduct, since the magnitude of this matter depended entirely on Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision.

It was precisely because of the Hyuga clan's way of doing things that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care about this matter at all.

If it were the Uchiha clan who attacked Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi might not say anything openly, but he would probably have even more doubts in his heart.

After bidding farewell to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the father and daughter walked down the street. Passersby who recognized Hiashi Hyuga came up to greet them, while those who didn't recognize him cast kind glances at him because of his prominent Byakugan eyes.

"I want to eat that."

Halfway there, Hinata grabbed Hiashi Hyuga and pointed to a dango shop by the roadside, calling out in a clear voice.

"How many."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi led Hinata toward the store.

"Ten servings of everything, please!"

Hinata spoke without hesitation.

Hiashi Hyuga: ...

You're here to get your goods?

Although he had expected it, Hiashi Hyuga still couldn't help but think to himself.

Hinata's appetite has always been unusual; her appetite is truly astonishing.

Hinata can often eat thirty or forty bowls of rice in one meal, and she's only six years old. If she were to grow up in the future, Hiashi Hyuga could already foresee that Hinata's appetite would increase by at least two or three times.

The elderly father was quite helpless, but he still obediently took out his money to pay the bill under the shopkeeper's beaming face.

"Please take these with you, Lord Rizu. I'll send the rest to your clan."

The shopkeeper, beaming with delight, selected the flavors, handed the dumplings to Hyuga Hiashi, and began to speak with a smile.

This is clearly not the first time this has happened.

"Thank you for your help."

Hiashi Hyuga handed the packaged dumplings to Hinata, who was full of anticipation, and said helplessly.

Watching his daughter eat happily, he couldn't help but feel worried.

If she gets married in the future, which family can afford to support Hinata?

wrong……

Hiashi Hyuga recalled Hinata's words before entering the Hokage Building, and his heart grew even more worried, so much so that a trace of sorrow appeared between his brows.

Whether she'll get married or be married in the future is still uncertain...

Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga's face was filled with the words "I am very depressed".

"What are you thinking about?"

Hinata looked at Hiashi Hyuga's gloomy expression, which seemed to overwhelm her, and couldn't help but speak.

"Ah, it's nothing..."

It's just fear of the future...

Hiashi Hyuga sighed deeply, as if he could see Hinata bringing a woman home one day in the future, causing an uproar throughout the entire clan.

"In that case, let's go home. We still have some time today, so we can cultivate for a while longer."

Hinata swallowed the dumpling in her hand and spoke indistinctly.

Since I've made up my mind to be tall, I naturally won't waste any time.

"Should I call him Neji?"

Hyuga Hiashi spoke up unconsciously.

"certainly!"

Hinata nodded emphatically upon hearing this.
