Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 374 Mrs. Hinata's Kiss

"Shikamaru, I might be pregnant!"

Upon hearing this news, Nara Shikamaru was so shocked that he dropped his teacup and spilled the tea all over the table.

However, Nara Shikamaru completely ignored the teacup on the table and anxiously asked, "Wh-when did this happen? Temari, is she really pregnant?"

"Hmm, it's been a long time since my period started, and I've been feeling nauseous a lot lately. I think I might be pregnant, but I'll go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."

After Temari finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that her lower abdomen was covered with unwashed marks and had many strange patterns on her buttocks. If she were to be examined, the area below her stomach must not be exposed.

"She's pregnant!"

Although Nara Shikamaru was overjoyed, he quickly realized the current situation. The village was now facing two mysterious organizations: one was the Kara organization, which was related to the Otsutsuki clan, and the other was the organization related to Obito Uchiha, which also possessed the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.

He's very busy every day now, and sometimes he can't even come home.

Furthermore, we should ask Shikadai how he feels. Although Nara Shikamaru thinks Shikadai would accept having a younger brother or sister, what if Shikadai doesn't like it?

After thinking for a moment, Nara Shikamaru tentatively asked, "Temari, do you really want this child?"

Temari was taken aback by his words and immediately asked, "Shikamaru, what do you mean by that?"

"No, I think we should ask Lu Dai's opinion."

"Why are you asking Lu Dai? This is my child!"

When Temari said this, she felt a little guilty. She originally wanted to say that this was their child, but when she thought that the child had nothing to do with Shikamaru, Temari's tone softened.

After that, Temari didn't want to say anything more. At this moment, besides feeling guilty towards Shikamaru, she was more focused on following Uchiha Yoichi's advice.

Temari has gradually come to believe that she can only enjoy comfort if she listens to Uchiha Yoichi, otherwise she will definitely be punished. Then Temari turned around and said firmly, "I'm going to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. I must give birth to the child then."

After saying that, Temari stomped away, her footsteps clearly indicating her anger.

"Temari, Temari, I didn't say I wouldn't agree."

Nara Shikamaru sighed. He just felt that the village was in a very bad situation. They were going to face a very powerful enemy, and the village might become a battlefield at any time. At that time, the second child would become a burden.

Nara Shikamaru didn't dare say this rational thing to Temari, otherwise Temari would definitely argue with him.

After thinking for a while, Nara Shikamaru felt a headache coming on, so he stopped thinking about it. Naruto Uzumaki should still be at the Hokage Building, and he needed to hurry over there.

Naruto had already told Hinata Hyuga about acting in a TV drama. It was because he entrusted Himawari and Boruto to Hiashi Hyuga that Hinata Hyuga had extra time. Also, sometimes when no one was home at the Uzumaki residence at night, Naruto would stay at the Hokage Building to handle some business.

Thanks to Naruto, Shikamaru Nara is much more relaxed now, and he can even have a cup of tea after dinner every day.

However, he couldn't relax too much; he had to go to the Hokage Building tonight to help Naruto Uzumaki with some matters.

"Cut! Well done!"

After Director Wada called "cut," a joyful smile appeared on his face. It was originally just a task, but he suddenly felt that this TV series might have the potential to become a hit, especially Hinata Hyuga's coy and loyal performance to her family, which showed the potential to make her a big star.

"The following is the highlight of this TV series. Hang in there, I'll recommend you for credit after filming is finished."

After Director Wada finished speaking, he had people pack up their things and move to another location to shoot the next scene.

However, at that moment, Hinata Hyuga walked over with the script and said to Director Wada, "Director, I..."

Director Wada immediately praised Hinata, saying, "Hinata, you've done a really good job filming these past few days. It's fortunate that you accepted my invitation. The fact that the filming went so smoothly has saved the crew a lot of money."

Hinata Hyuga felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but still said, "Thank you for the compliment, Director Wada, but about the next scene..."

"From now on, Mrs. Hinata, you can figure it out yourself. There's nothing more I can teach you."

Director Wada interrupted Hinata Hyuga, saying, "Hinata-sama, your understanding of the character has surpassed mine. Just act according to your own understanding, and you will definitely be able to do a good job in this drama."

"Yes, I understand."

Hinata Hyuga quickly agreed, but just as she was about to mention the next kissing scene, Director Wada had already left.

After seeing Director Wada leave, Hinata Hanabi quietly approached; she was currently on duty protecting the film crew.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Hanabi." Hinata said to her younger sister with a hint of grievance, "I haven't had a chance to talk to the director about the next scene, but it seems like it's too late."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hanabi said with a headache, "You still haven't told me? My dear sister, you're so confused! What did Naruto say? Does he care?"

Hinata Hyuga said timidly, "I haven't told Naruto-kun yet. He's been very busy lately, and sometimes he goes to sleep right after eating."

"So what do we do now? Judging from Director Wada's attitude, he's very confident in this drama. If you don't act now, all the previous filming might have been for nothing."

Hinata Hanabi pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands and said to Hinata, "Sister, how about I act in your place? I can use my transformation jutsu to look like you, is that alright?"

Hinata Hyuga asked in surprise, "Huh? Is it Hanabi? Does that mean you'll have to film a kissing scene? You haven't..."

Hinata Hanabi patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, big sister. I also want to experience what it's like to act. If you don't mind, let's do it."

"Well then, I'll leave it to you, Hanabi."

----------

"Hmm~"

Their lips met, and Hinata Hanabi tensed up instantly. It was her first time kissing someone else, and she became very nervous, especially when the hand around her waist pulled her closer.

"Cut, stop for a second."

However, after kissing for less than a minute, Director Wada called for a stop, and Uchiha Yoichi naturally separated from "Hinata Hyuga"; he had already realized during the first kiss that the person in front of him was not Hinata Hyuga, and Hanabi Hyuga had not appeared since filming began.

They were just pretending not to notice.

"Mrs. Hinata, I hate to say this, but your acting skills are completely different now compared to before. How could you have regressed so much all of a sudden?"

Director Wada sighed and continued, "We've already kicked out all the extra people, and we've reshot almost ten times. According to the character's mindset, Hinata shouldn't have failed so many times."

Her tone was full of disappointment, which made Hinata Hanabi feel very ashamed. She was determined to help her sister get through the kissing scene, but she didn't expect that her acting skills would not be recognized by the director at all.

"Mrs. Hinata, why don't you take a break? Let you adjust your mindset, and we can film again tomorrow."

Director Wada said, a pained expression on his face, glancing at the film reel before continuing, "A day off is fine. Hopefully, Mrs. Hinata can find the feeling she had during filming a few days ago tomorrow."

"No, I don't need to rest, director, give me some time."

Hinata Hanabi made up her mind and said that she could no longer let the director down by having her sister's appearance. She then bowed and continued, "I'll be right back after a short while."

After saying that, Hinata Hyuga quickly left.

After leaving the filming location, Hinata Hanabi activated her transformation jutsu and rushed to where her older sister Hinata was. Upon finding her sister, Hanabi quickly clasped her hands together and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, sister, I failed. I've acted it out almost ten times, but I still can't get the director's approval. Now, only you can save the day!"

"Huh? Is that fireworks?"

Hinata Hyuga was taken aback by what she heard, then said somewhat flusteredly, "Going back... is it still for the kissing scene?"

Hinata Hanabi said dejectedly, "Yes, sister, I just can't get it right. Acting is really hard, unlike you who were born with it."

"But."

Hinata Hyuga was still very hesitant. Even though it was just filming, she still had to kiss other men, and she was Naruto's wife.

"Sister, I messed up this time. If Naruto asks about it later, just blame it on me."

After thinking for a moment, Hinata Hanabi said, "If anyone asks, just say that I used my transformation technique to film this scene for you. Only we sisters know!"

"Well, in that case..." Hinata Hyuga thought for a while and could barely accept the result.

Hinata was then half-pushed and half-pulled to the filming location by Hanabi Hyuga. However, the house had been cleared out, and Hanabi couldn't go in after reaching the door. She could only give Hinata a thumbs-up.

After Hinata Hyuga entered, she was called in by Director Wada for a questioning and filming. After learning that Hinata Hyuga could continue filming, he immediately began preparations.

As soon as Uchiha Yang saw Hinata Hyuga, he knew it was her. The shy blush on her face and the loyalty to her family in her eyes were like a tempting flower, always enticing but difficult to taste.

However, as long as he could taste the thirst-quenching liquid, Uchiha Yoichi didn't really care whether it was his own or not.

"start!"

After filming began, Uchiha Yoichi reached out and grabbed Hinata's arms. He quickly got into rehearsal mode, leaned in, and directly covered Hinata's mouth with his head.

After sensing Hinata Hyuga's resistance, Uchiha Yoichi directly pried open Hinata's weak defenses.

"He...he actually...he put it inside!?"

Hinata Hyuga felt both anxious and embarrassed after Uchiha Yoichi entered her, and hurriedly tried to push him away.

However, with her arms held by Uchiha Yoichi, she could only resist from other angles.

"Very good, that's it!"

Upon seeing this scene, Director Wada couldn't help but exclaim in approval. This scene was much better than the previous one; it was exactly the kind of performance he wanted to see—a wife who yearned for love outside the cage while also being devoted to her family.
