XX-level Hokage

"Wait for me at the back hill after school."

As they brushed past each other, Mashiro whispered something in Sakura's ear.

Then Mashiro walked into the classroom, while Sakura stood there with her head down, gritting her teeth, before turning around and continuing towards the restroom.

"Mashiro, what happened to your face?" Ino asked with concern as soon as Mashiro entered the classroom, noticing the redness and swelling on Mashiro's right cheek.

"Are you hurt?" Ya Guan asked, noticing Mashiro's unusual condition after Ino's reminder. "I'm fine, I just had a little argument with my father," Mashiro explained with a smile.

"Honestly, I often argue with my father too, but he has never hit me. Uncle, don't you know that a girl's face is very delicate?" Ino came to Mashiro's side and touched Mashiro's right cheek.

Mashiro simply smiled and remained silent.

Soon it was time to leave school. While the other students packed up and left the classroom, Mashiro didn't make a move; she was known for staying late. Soon, only Mashiro, Hinata, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke remained in the classroom.

Sakura glanced at Mashiro and slowly left the classroom. After Sakura left, Naruto walked up to Mashiro.

"Mashiro-nee, do you need medicine to reduce the swelling? I can go buy some."

"It's alright, Naruto, you go back first. Eat more vegetables for dinner, don't just eat instant noodles." Mashiro said, patting Naruto's head. Naruto also patted his head, then smiled and left the classroom.

After Naruto left, Sasuke walked up to Mashiro and coolly said, "Useless." Then he turned and left.

Seeing Sasuke's clueless attitude, Mashiro couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Uchiha clan is truly full of talented people; they all speak so eloquently." Then, as is customary, Mashiro told Hinata to go home first, and then leisurely left the school alone.

First, they ate a plate of fried noodles at a small stall, then bought some snacks at an ice cream shop before setting off towards the back mountain.

At this moment, Sakura was sitting on a rock on the back hill, her eyes vacant. Thinking about what happened that morning, she felt utterly disgusted with herself. She felt like a fly trapped in a spider web, unable to break free no matter how hard she tried.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Sakura's whole body tensed up. "Don't be nervous, I'm not some kind of devil."

Mashiro hugged Sakura from behind and stroked her body as she spoke.

After petting her, Mashiro handed the snacks she was holding to Sakura. "Have dinner first."

Looking at the snacks from the ice cream shop in her hand, all of them were the most expensive kinds, which Sakura had never eaten before.

If you don't mention those strange requests, she actually treats me quite well. Sakura, who was eating snacks, suddenly thought to herself.

Mashiro stood to the side, holding her face, watching with great interest as Sakura's affection level fluctuated.

After Sakura finished eating her snacks, Mashiro walked up to her, sat down on the rock where Sakura had been sitting, and took off her shoes and socks. Sakura lowered her head resignedly.

The sound of children licking sweet ice cream drifted through the air.

After a while, Mashiro spoke up: "Take off your clothes."

Sakura didn't want to accept this outrageous request. She looked up at Mashiro and saw only a pair of deep eyes. This gaze brought Sakura an immense sense of oppression.

A moment later, the soft rustling of fabric filled the air.

Shinjiro gazed at the scene before him with a strange look. The beauty was shy, lying on the ground with a waist as white as jade. Shinjiro couldn't help but straddle her, as if the clouds were obscuring the moonlight.

Chapter Seven: Hinata (Part 2)

Night falls, and Mashiro and Sakura stroll through the streets of Konoha.

The two walked one after the other, one in front, looking reserved and with pale lips, the other behind, a subtle smile on her delicate face. "Am I that scary? Why are you walking so fast?" Mashiro suddenly said.

Sakura's body stiffened, and her steps unconsciously slowed down. She said, "It's evening, my parents will worry."

Mashiro remained silent upon hearing this, observing her surroundings and continuing to follow Sakura. They walked through another alley and arrived at the shopping street near Sakura's house.

"Wait here for me a moment." Mashiro saw the newly opened shop of the Yunzhi family, and as if remembering something, turned around and walked into the shop.

Stepping into this newly opened Cloud Weaving Shop and looking at its interior decoration, I couldn't help but sigh. Kado really has a keen eye for business. Each Cloud Weaving Shop in different areas of Konoha has its own unique characteristics. For example, this shop, because it is located in a working-class area, doesn't have a particularly luxurious or eye-catching decoration. The products displayed in the shop are all Cloud Weaving Shop's cheapest and best-selling items.

He took out his gold card, bought some things, and then walked out.

Seeing Mashiro emerge and the items she was carrying, Sakura couldn't help but ask, "What did you buy this time?" "Nothing much, just some clothes and snacks for Hinata," Mashiro replied casually.

Sakura didn't ask any more questions, but sighed inwardly, wondering why the differences between people were so vast. Even within the same Yunzhi family, she had gained so much from buying things...

In the end, Nishi had no choice but to become someone else's slave, while Mashiro shopped like she was at a convenience store. The powerful families were indeed incomparable to commoners like her.

Sakura's thinking is incorrect. Even members of large families wouldn't be able to freely spend money at Yunzhi's house at this age. Yunzhi's positioning and pricing are not designed for children like them. Mashiro can spend money freely because Yunzhi's house is essentially her business. In a sense, it's cheaper for Mashiro to spend money at Yunzhi's house than at a convenience store.

After walking through the shopping street and a short distance further, you will arrive at Sakura's house.

Arriving at her doorstep, Sakura turned to Mashiro and asked, "Aren't you going home?" "I came to see my aunt and uncle," Mashiro replied, shaking her head.

"Please, please don't reveal anything about us." Sakura's eyes were full of pleading. "Of course, you can always trust Hinata Mashiro." Mashiro said, stroking Sakura's hair.

"Only if you listen to Chengcheng." Mashiro added in her mind. Looking into Mashiro's eyes, after a moment, Xiaolou turned around and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Haruno Mei's voice came from the doorway. "It's me, Sakura."

"Sakura, why are you so late today? If you hadn't come back soon, your father would probably have gone out looking for you." Haruno Meibuki said, opening the door.

"Who is this?" Haruno Meibuki asked, seeing Mashiro behind Sakura.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Hinata Mashiro, and I'm Sakura's classmate. Sakura and I went shopping together today, so I came back a little late. I was worried that Sakura would be scolded by Uncle and Aunt, so I came along to explain for Sakura and also to pay my respects to Uncle and Aunt," Mashiro said with a smile, appearing incredibly well-behaved.

"Oh, is that so? It's alright. It's normal for girls to lose track of time while shopping. Mashiro-chan, come in and sit down. We just finished making dinner," Haruno Meifuku greeted warmly.

"No need, Auntie. It's getting late, and my father will lecture me again if I don't go back. This is a gift I bought for Uncle and Auntie. As for visiting, you can come back next time to try Auntie's cooking." Mashiro said kindly, and then handed the gift to Haruno Mebuki under Sakura's questioning gaze.

Haruno Mei received a real white gift and saw the Cloud Ori family's mark on it. She was quite surprised and tried to return it, saying, "I appreciate the thought, but this is too precious; Auntie, you can't accept it."

Mashiro didn't accept it, but took a step back and said, "It's okay, Auntie. Sakura and I are very good friends. Please accept it. I have to go back now."

Then he glanced at Sakura, turned and walked away, leaving Sakura standing there, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Who came just now?" Haruno Chō, who had finished cooking in the kitchen, came over at that moment.

“She’s Sakura’s classmate, a very cute girl, very understanding. Judging from her eyes, she should be from the Hyuga clan,” Haruno Meibuki said. “The Hyuga clan? I heard Iruka-sensei mention it before. There are indeed two members of the Hyuga clan in Sakura’s class, and they are the two daughters of the head of the family.”

Haruno Zhao said.

"The princess of the Hyuga clan? No wonder she sent such an expensive gift." Haruno Mebuki exclaimed in surprise after hearing Haruno Cho's words. "A gift?"

"This is it, a gift from the Yunzhi family."

As she spoke, Haruno Mebuki opened the package, inside which was a pale yellow magpie-patterned cheongsam and a light pink cherry blossom pendant.

“I saw this cheongsam and pendant a few days ago when I bought a cheongsam for Sakura. The price of them together is equivalent to more than a year’s expenses for our family,” Haruno Zhao said in surprise.

"What should we do then? How should we reciprocate?" Haruno Meifuku couldn't help but worry.

Haruno Chizuru, however, was quite optimistic, saying, "We'll just do our best. Didn't you say he's a very reasonable child? Let's go first..."

Let's eat inside.

Hearing Haruno Chizuru say this, Haruno Mebuki calmed down, put away the gift, and said to Sakura, "Sakura, let's go eat." "Okay."

Sakura finally came to her senses, but one thought kept swirling in her mind: "Was she specifically choosing this gift for my parents...?"

Meanwhile, Mashiro, walking down the street, suddenly heard a notification in her mind: "Sakura Haruno's affection level +50, reward obtained: Medical Ninjutsu Mastery."

Immediately afterward, a panel appeared in front of Mashiro's eyes. [Name: Haruno Sakura]

Gender: Female Age: 11 Affection Level: 90 Relationship: Master/Servant

Affection Reward (50): Increased Chakra Control (Already Obtained) Affection Reward (90): Mastery of Medical Ninjutsu (Already Obtained)

Mashiro's mind was flooded with a wealth of knowledge: the methods of using various medical ninjutsu, human anatomy, meridians, and so on.

Mashiro savored this novel experience and continued walking forward. Neither in his past life nor in this one, he had ever learned medical ninjutsu.

After a while, the data on the panel changed. [Name: Chunye Lou]

Gender: Female Age: 11 Affection Level: 55 Relationship: Master/Servant

Affection Reward (50): Chakra Control Improvement (Already Obtained) Affection Reward (90): Medical Ninjutsu Mastery (Already Obtained) "Affection decreased by 35 points.

Mashiro was not surprised at all. Having just experienced those shameful things, Sakura's heart was undoubtedly filled with self-loathing and inferiority. If Mashiro then mentioned meeting Sakura's parents, Sakura would inevitably be apprehensive and terrified. If Mashiro then gave Sakura's parents gifts and said nice things, that gentleness would create a strong contrast with everything before.

As Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, she also relaxed about all the bad things Mashiro had done earlier. At this moment, all that remained in her mind was the doubt of surviving the ordeal and gratitude for Mashiro's kindness, and her affection level would naturally increase dramatically.

But this feeling won't last forever. Once Sakura's initial tension subsides, the disgust and fear she had previously forgotten will naturally return.

The next time they return, their favorability rating will drop drastically.

This is an experiment conducted by Mashiro. She tests whether the rewards she receives will be taken back if her affection level rises and then falls. The outcome of this experiment will affect her future actions. It seems that once a reward is obtained, it won't be taken back. So…

Mashiro walked with a smile to the Hyuga residence, where Hiashi had been waiting for some time. The two looked at each other.

Mashiro silently thought to herself, "It's about to begin."

Chapter 8: Hinata (Part 2)

"Why are you back so late?" Hiashi asked sternly. "I was shopping with friends and got carried away," Mashiro replied calmly.

"Did you ask your teacher for leave?" Hiashi asked, neither confirming nor denying. "I already told Iruka-sensei," Mashiro replied.

Hiashi nodded and said to a Hyuga clansman beside him, "Yoya, take the young lady to the confinement room."

Then Hiashi turned and left. Hyuga Hyouya nodded respectfully and said to Mashiro, "Young lady, please come with me." "Let's go to Hinata first. I have something to say to Hinata," Mashiro said to Hyuga Hyouya.

“But the head of the family said…” Hinata Hyouya was interrupted by Mashiro before he could finish speaking. “I said I need to go see Hinata, Hyouya.”

Hinata Haruta looked at Mashiro, who had a smile on her face. "Yes, young lady."

In the courtyard of the field, Mashiro knocked on Hinata's door.

Hinata opened the door and saw Mashiro. Overjoyed, she hugged Mashiro tightly. "Onee-sama, you're back."

Mashiro ruffled Hinata's hair and whispered in her ear, "Sleep in my room for the next few days." "What?"

Hinata was about to ask Mashiro what he meant when Mashiro left with Hinata Hyouya.

A moment later, the two arrived at the Hyuga clan's confinement room.

Hinata Harutani opened the door to the solitary confinement cell. The cell was about the size of Mashiro's room, pitch black and completely empty, except for a table with a book, a stack of papers, and a candle on it. It was this candle that brought a faint light to the cell.

"Young Miss, the head of the family wants you to copy the clan rules inside until you've thought it through. You are not allowed to leave the confinement room during this time, and your meals will be delivered by a special person," Hinata Hyouya explained to Mashiro.

Mashiro nodded and went into the confinement room.

Hinata Yoru shot a shot at the white figure who walked in, then closed the door to the solitary confinement room, and then formed a few hand seals to activate the seal on the solitary confinement room.

Sensing the changes in the confinement room, Mashiro tried using her Byakugan, but couldn't see through it. It seemed that the room had been sealed with some kind of magic.

Mashiro didn't care at all, sat down on the table, and gently closed her eyes. Meanwhile, on the other side, the Hyuga clan was holding a clan meeting.

Inside the head of the family's room, the core members of the Hyuga clan were gathered.
