Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

Hinata was somewhat surprised when the waiter informed her of Sasuke's arrival. Hinata, who was in the corridor carving a summoning incantation for an explosive tag, was rather surprised.

Is he going to challenge himself to a one-on-one fight?

No, it shouldn't be...

After all, Sasuke should have already realized the gap in strength between himself and others.

There's no reason for them to come knocking on your door late at night looking for a beating.

"Okay, I understand."

"Bring him over."

Hinata waved her hand and spoke.

After all, we were classmates, so it's not like we can just not see each other.

Before long, the black-haired boy arrived in front of Hinata, led by a waiter.

"sit."

Hinata didn't even look up, she was writing and drawing on the explosive tags with a brush.

"Hinata..."

Sasuke sat somewhat awkwardly opposite Hinata, watching her do things he didn't understand at all.

"What's wrong?"

"Sasuke-kun, why are you looking for me so late?"

Hinata put down the explosive tags she had just drawn for the summoning jutsu and looked at the Uchiha boy in front of her with some confusion.

"Hinata, the Hyuga, and the Uchiha are all families in the ninja world that use ocular techniques."

Sasuke took a deep breath and looked intently at the Byakugan girl under the lamplight.

"Hmm, and then?"

Hinata found this strange, and then picked up an explosive tag and started scribbling.

"The Uchiha clan suffered a great calamity, and I am the only one left..."

Seeing Hinata's self-absorbed demeanor, Sasuke Uchiha's previously composed emotions began to wane.

"..."

Hinata ignored him and continued doing her own thing.

"I cannot revive the Uchiha clan by myself, and I am far too weak right now."

"I have nothing."

"Only this body inherits the powerful bloodline of the Uchiha."

Sasuke spoke in a deep voice.

As long as it kills Itachi Uchiha and grants him power, we are willing to sacrifice the name of the Uchiha clan!

"What are you trying to say?"

Hinata put down what she was holding and frowned as she looked at Sasuke in front of her.

For some reason, a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Hinata, Hyuga gives me strength."

"I can marry into the Hyuga family."

Sasuke took a deep breath, his face serious.

This is his only trump card, and also his most valuable asset.

No ninja clan in this ninja world would refuse the Uchiha's Sharingan.

? !

Hinata's face stiffened upon hearing this, and she stared in disbelief at the man who had come to her door to ask for a marriage proposal.

Marrying into the Hyuga family?!

Who the hell do you want to marry?!

"I know this might be hard for you to understand."

"But this is..."

Seeing Hinata frozen in place, Sasuke continued speaking, wanting to express his pain to the person in front of him and hoping that Hinata could understand him.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Hinata kept hearing Sasuke's words about marrying into the Hyuga clan, and she began to wonder if she had misheard.

Although this guy isn't very bright and believes everything he's told, he was considered quite virtuous in the original story. Why would he want to sell himself now?!

"I said, I can marry into the Hyuga family."

"But Hinata needs me to become stronger!"

Sasuke took a deep breath, his face serious.

He had been thinking about this all afternoon, and it wasn't until evening that he mustered up the courage to go to their door.

As long as he could have the power to kill Itachi Uchiha, he would even be willing to marry... no, marry Hinata!

boom!

The wooden corridor instantly shattered and collapsed!

Countless explosive tags scattered instantly under this sudden impact!

"You beast!!"

Confirming she hadn't misheard, Hinata immediately flew into a rage and smashed the floor beneath her with a single punch!

"Activate! Explosive tags!"

Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the exploding tags spreading everywhere. If they exploded, he might as well give up on revenge and just die on the spot!

"Hanabi is only five years old!"

"You've set your sights on her!"

"You damn lolicon!"

Hinata was furious. She never expected that this damned bastard was even more outrageous than Naruto Uzumaki, actually setting his sights on her five-year-old sister!

"Hana...Hanabi?"

"Wait, it's not fireworks!"

"It's you!"

Sasuke looked at the furious Hinata and trembled with fear. He then remembered that Hinata had a five-year-old sister and hurriedly tried to explain.

I am definitely not a die-hard lolicon!

???

Not fireworks?

it's me?

It's me?!

You fucking came here for me?!

"Ha...ha...coming for me..."

Hinata's face froze for a moment, her gentle features instantly becoming expressionless. The overhead light seemed to have gone out due to the short circuit caused by the collapsed wires, and darkness enveloped Hinata, so much so that Sasuke could only see the lower half of Hinata's face by the moonlight.

Hinata's lips curled into a strange smile.

There's something...

Bright.

Scattered everywhere, all the explosive tags Hinata had just drawn emitted chakra fluctuations and a soft white light...

"etc!"

"Hinata, let me explain!"

Sasuke stared in horror at the scene before him. He didn't know why, but he felt as if something terrible was about to happen!

boom!!!

As night fell, a massive mushroom cloud, streaked with flames, rose into the sky above the Hyuga clan's residence...

The Hyuga clan... was destroyed.

……

The charred remains of wood fell from the sky onto Sasuke's head.

Sasuke looked like he had just escaped death. His whole body was covered in black soot, and he rolled his eyes in horror at the devastated scene before him.

The courtyard, which was just moments ago a picture of tranquility, is now nothing but ruins, a testament to what had just happened.

"Hinata-sama!!!"

"Where is the enemy!"

Numerous footsteps echoed nearby, and one after another, Hyuga clansmen rushed in.

Having learned from the previous example of the Ōtsutsuki coffin's death, the Hyuga ninjas acted with incredible speed this time, arriving at the scene in the very first moment!

"Tokuma, Himon, Miao, Iroha!"

Hinata, whose body was also covered in charred marks, stood amidst the ruins, staring intently at Sasuke, who was still in shock, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Hinata-sama!"

Four figures appeared in front of Hinata in an instant.

"Throw this bastard out the door!"

"From now on, I'll beat him every time he comes to our door!"

"Forget it! Let's fight first!"

At Hinata's command, the four Jonin immediately turned to look at Sasuke, who had just come to his senses.

"etc!"

"Wait a minute!"

Sasuke quickly stepped back and tried to explain.

"Hmph, you think you can run away after offending the young lady!?"

Hyuga Tokuma was the first to charge forward, followed closely by the others.

"etc!"

"Don't hit me in the face!"

After a brutal beating, Sasuke was carried out of the Hyuga gate by four Hyuga ninjas. With a bang, the Hyuga gate slammed shut, leaving him alone outside.
