The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

Let these arduous tasks be left to the chosen ones!

Hinata intended to tell the truth. With three generations of experience and wisdom, Hinata couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be able to see through her lie.

Telling the truth is the safest course of action.

After thinking for a long time, Hinata said somewhat shyly, "High pay, little work, close to home, high position, great power, light responsibility; I can sleep until I naturally wake up, and count money until my hands cramp."

Hinata still has some sense of shame; she's too embarrassed to say that her dream is to just laze around and wait to die.

And isn't this doggerel referring to the position of the Hyuga clan head?

Think about Hiashi Hyuga. He stays at home all day, leaving tasks to the branch family members and managing the Hyuga family's ancestral business. He spends most of his time idly.

The Third Hokage: "..."

Actually, the Third Hokage had a lot of faith in Hinata.

Hinata is clearly the kind of person who has no ambition, and doesn't even covet the Hokage position.

Although she comes from the Hyuga clan, Hinata's appetite is comparable to that of the Akimichi clan, but her temperament is similar to that of the Nara clan.

To put it nicely, it's called being indifferent to worldly affairs; to put it bluntly, it's about having no ambition and just waiting to die.

From the Hokage's perspective, this is exactly the kind of person the Third Hokage likes best, especially since Hinata is the heir to the Hyuga clan.

The Third Hokage was initially worried that Hinata's private interactions with Naruto might lead to some unpleasant incidents, but after observing Hinata for over a year, he felt much more at ease.

The third generation said with a sigh, "It's a really good dream, but many people can't even have it!"

Chapter Sixteen: The Four Who Skipped Class

The Third Hokage chatted idly with Hinata, watching as she slowly devoured the food meant for ten people.

How big is Hinata's appetite?

In the original TV series, Hinata and Naruto once had a ramen-eating contest. Naruto ate a few bowls and was so full he almost threw up, while Hinata ate dozens of bowls without changing her expression.

One bowl won't fill you up, but forty-six bowls still won't satisfy you!

Patting her tummy, Hinata realized that even after eating enough food for ten people, her waist remained slender and her tummy showed no signs of swelling.

Who knows where all that food went?

All three generations were shocked.

That appetite... It's a good thing Hinata was born into the Hyuga clan; an ordinary family simply couldn't afford to feed her!

"Grandpa, I'm going home!"

The third generation slowly stood up, chuckled, and said, "Old people tend to talk a lot. I didn't realize it was so late. I have to go back to handle some official business. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Grandpa Three Generations!"

Hinata couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief as the Third Hokage passed away.

Although the Third Hokage was very kind, Hinata was extremely nervous, afraid that she might say something wrong and inadvertently arouse the Third Hokage's suspicion.

……

Hinata was somewhat surprised by her conversation with the Third Hokage, but she still had to go on with her life.

Within a few days, Hinata had completely forgotten about meeting the Third Hokage. She ate and drank as usual, and spent her free time playing with delinquents like Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba.

Naruto hasn't joined the group of four who skip class yet; the nine Konoha 9s won't be assigned to the same class until graduation.

Otherwise, if everyone's learning pace is different, it's unfair to the struggling students if the teacher teaches too fast, and it's equally unfair to the high-achieving students if the teacher teaches too slowly.

Iruka was Naruto's teacher, and he taught Naruto for six years.

This means three generations.

The Third Hokage had a profound understanding of human nature; only someone with Iruka's personality could prevent Naruto from falling into darkness.

Hinata has now come into the Third Hokage's sights, but Hinata's identity makes the Third Hokage somewhat hesitant.

In the class, the girls, led by Ino, continue to ostracize Hinata, and now Sakura has joined them.

Thanks to Hinata's presence, Ino and Sakura didn't fall out because of Sasuke. Instead, their relationship grew stronger because they had a common rival in love.

Sometimes, when Hinata gets annoyed by Ino and Sakura, she'll give them a good scolding during taijutsu class.

To deal with these two weaklings, Hinata only needs to pat them lightly twice with her little hand, and they'll be in so much pain that they won't be able to stand up for hours.

Hinata, however, was very careful in her actions, so the teacher couldn't say much.

'Click! Click!'

Having learned the new knowledge, Hinata was too lazy to continue listening. She sat at the back of the class, propped up her books to block the teacher's view, and ate potato chips with the chubby Choji.

Hinata has plenty of pocket money, so naturally she won't keep stealing Choji's snacks.

Hinata also brings lots of snacks to school every day to share with Choji.

Shikamaru was pretending to be asleep; he was actually quite puzzled as to whether Hinata or Choji was a member of the Akimichi clan.

'Click! Click!'

Teacher (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

It's one thing to sneak snacks during class, but to eat them with such loud crunching noises—do you even respect your teacher?

"Choji! Hinata! You're both being punished for eating snacks in class! You're going to stand outside as punishment!"

Feeling that his anger had not yet been fully vented, two other delinquents who were sleeping in class were also implicated.

"Shikamaru! Kiba! You're sleeping in class, get out of here!"

The four-person group slunk off to the corridor to stand as punishment, exchanging glances and seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Who would obediently stand as punishment?

Standing as punishment may seem like a penalty, but for the group of four, it was a reward.

"Blind eyes!"

Hinata activated her Byakugan and saw that the teacher was still spitting everywhere on the podium. She nodded to her three friends, and the four of them sneakily opened the corridor window, climbed out, and jumped onto the playground.

To be honest, Hinata was also a little surprised.

Hinata originally thought that underachievers like Choji and Kiba Inuzuka should be assigned to other classes, but they were actually similar to Hinata. They seemed to be daydreaming in class, but in reality, they had a good grasp of the knowledge points.

Hinata glanced at Choji. This chubby kid had even hidden a bag of potato chips while he was being punished by standing in the corner. What a clever little devil.

Shikamaru, with his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky, enjoying a truly leisurely day.

Kiba Inuzuka suggested, "Shall we go out and play?"

"do not want!"

"I'm so tired!"

Hinata and Shikamaru both refused, but Hinata thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It's almost noon, let me treat you to barbecue!"

"Barbecue!!!"

Choji's eyes lit up. He had spent most of his allowance on snacks and had no money left to buy barbecue.

Only a wealthy young lady like Hinata has the confidence to treat everyone to a meal.

"If you have no objections, let's go!"

The four truants had long since mastered the layout of the ninja academy and knew how to leave without being discovered. They sneakily climbed over the wall and quickly ran towards the barbecue restaurant.

With an air of nonchalance, Hinata pushed open the door of the barbecue restaurant first and said boldly, "Boss, four people!"

The barbecue restaurant owner naturally recognized Hinata and her three companions; after all, they were all heirs to powerful families in Konoha, so it was impossible for him not to recognize them.

"At this time, you should all still be in school, right?"

Hinata said without changing her expression, "School ended early."

Deception is also one of the essential skills for ninjas. Kakashi once said that every move a ninja makes must deceive their opponent.

Hinata is not a lying bad girl, but a qualified ninja.

The boss was skeptical, but since the people had already arrived, he still arranged seats for Hinata and the others.

"What would you like to eat?"

Hinata glanced at the menu, then looked at the barbecue restaurant owner and said calmly, "Wait a minute!"

After saying that, Hinata waved her hand, signaling her three friends to come closer!

Hinata whispered, "Give me all your allowance!"

Shikamaru said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you were treating?"

Hinata gave Shikamaru a 'warning' look and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm treating, but the four of us will pay together. Treating and paying are not the same thing."

Shikamaru fell silent. He thought of his mother; women, regardless of age, were all terrifying creatures.

Kiba Inuzuka didn't care, Choji obediently handed over his allowance, and Shikamaru didn't dare to object.

Having received pocket money from her three friends, Hinata slammed her hand on the table and declared generously, "Let's order!"

Barbecue restaurant owner: "..."

If it weren't for the scene where Hinata forcibly took his pocket money, the barbecue restaurant owner would have really thought Hinata was a little rich.

Hinata and Choji are both big eaters. Hinata calculated her allowance and ordered several kilograms of meat in one go.

Shikamaru and Kiba both eat very little, so if they split the bill, Hinata and Choji would be the ones who benefit.

Sometimes Hinata wonders why Konoha doesn't have a buffet.

Upon seeing the fat man from the Akimichi family, Hinata suddenly realized something. Opening a buffet in Konoha would probably result in her selling her underwear...

Chapter Seventeen: Searching for Friends

Halfway through the barbecue, Hinata was suddenly overcome with grief and almost burst into tears.
