The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

How beautiful!

They don't have to leave the village to carry out exhausting and life-threatening missions, yet they can still influence the Hokage's decisions.

The village's political affairs could be handled by the Hokage, while Hinata hid behind the scenes, enjoying the glory and benefits that came with her status and power.

Just imagine, when Naruto becomes the Seventh Hokage, he'll be so busy every day that he won't even have time to go home.

And what about Hinata?

He will stay at the Hyuga family home to retire and reminisce about his glorious youth.

Whenever something big happens in the village, Hinata can go over to hold a meeting, give a speech, and give orders to this person or that person.

So much salt, so much prestige!

Hinata's future is directly linked to Naruto's, so Hinata would never dare to disrespect Naruto.

Hinata is also worried because her future boss has ulterior motives towards her. She wonders if she will encounter any unspoken rules or anything like that in the future.

If Hinata is having a headache because of Naruto, then there is someone who is actually having an even bigger headache than Hinata.

This person is the Third Hokage, who holds great power in Konoha.

The Third Hokage went to great lengths to train Naruto.

With just over a year left until Naruto's class graduates and is assigned to their respective classes, the Third Hokage transferred Kakashi out of the Anbu a year ago in order to better train Naruto.

Kakashi will definitely bring Naruto along, because only the Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails.

As a result, Sasuke would have to be placed in the same class as Naruto.

Because Kakashi is the only one in Konoha who possesses the Sharingan, and he is also the only one who can instruct Sasuke on how to use the Sharingan.

So what about the last person?

The Third Hokage had a peculiar sense of humor; he believed that a man would be more willing to show off in front of a woman he liked.

For example, Jiraiya and Tsunade, Obito and Rin.

If classes are divided according to this idea, then Hinata would have to be in the same class as Naruto and Sasuke.

According to the Third Hokage's investigation, Hinata was probably the first peer to become friends with Naruto, and Naruto's feelings for Hinata were extraordinary.

There seems to be some inexplicable relationship between Sasuke and Hinata.

Therefore, Hinata can act as a lubricant between the two.

Hinata happens to have the surname Hyuga, and the Hyuga clan is now the most powerful clan in Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

While the Third Hokage wasn't worried about the Hyuga clan having any ulterior motives, it wasn't necessarily a good thing for the Hyuga clan to get too close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Third Hokage originally intended to put Hinata, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame in the same squad, forming a special reconnaissance squad. He had even chosen Kurenai Yuhi to be the Jonin.

Kurenai Yuhi was Asuma Sarutobi's lover, and the Third Hokage's decision to appoint Kurenai as the Jonin in charge of this group was clearly driven by his own selfish motives.

However, the Hyuga clan would absolutely not agree to this.

Kurenai Yuhi is a newly promoted Jonin, lacking strength, and being a genjutsu-type ninja, how could the Hyuga clan possibly feel at ease letting Kurenai Yuhi take Hinata with her?

Therefore, the person the Third Hokage hated most at this moment was Hiashi Hyuga.

According to the rules of your Hyuga main family, once Hinata graduates, you should just recall her to the Hyuga family and train her yourself. Why send her out on some crazy mission?

When Konoha was founded, the First Hokage personally promised the Hyuga clan that during peacetime, members of the main branch of the Hyuga clan would not be required to perform missions.

However, Hiashi Hyuga's reasons were also quite valid. In order to allow the Hyuga family to better integrate into the village and to help Hinata grow up faster, not only should Hinata be given two strong teammates upon graduation, but also a strong teacher.

What kind of situation is this?

The current Hinata is not the useless young lady abandoned by Hiashi Hyuga in the original story. The current Hinata is a true young lady and heir!

Even in the original story, after Hinata was assigned to Kurenai Yuhi's group, Kurenai Yuhi made a special visit to Hiashi Hyuga.

The Hyuga clan holds a very high position in the village and is very powerful, especially in the war, where their role is unmatched by the Aburame and Inuzuka clans.

"My head hurts!"

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Little Wings Fluttering

Sitting in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage rubbed his temples, while secretly watching Naruto's class.

To meet the Hyuga clan's requirements, Hinata's teammates cannot be ordinary civilian ninjas; to become a Jonin, one must be a top-tier Jonin.

Currently, only Kakashi, Asuma, and Guy meet both of these conditions and still have time to train genin.

Guy is too stubborn to be considered. Although he is a taijutsu-type ninja, he is a steel fist style, which is very different from gentle fist, and he can't give Hinata much guidance.

Asuma is going to lead the Ino-Shika-Cho trio; this was something that the third generation had already arranged long ago.

Whether or not there is a reconnaissance squad is not important, but the Pig-Deer-Butterfly trio absolutely cannot be separated.

So... Kakashi is the most suitable one right now.

It's likely that Hiashi Hyuga favors Kakashi.

Kakashi had just been transferred from the Anbu and was assigned by the Third Hokage to mentor new recruits. Hiashi Hyuga immediately approached the Third Hokage with his request.

Kakashi is not only incredibly strong, but he is also a disciple of the Fourth Hokage and a true direct descendant of the Hokage lineage.

If we exclude that cunning old fox Danzo Shimura, among the younger generation of Konoha, the only ones with the best chance of inheriting the Hokage position are Kakashi and Asuma.

The Third Hokage actually had quite a lot of personal motives. In order to support Asuma, he not only handed over the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to him, but also, in the original work, entrusted the direct descendants of the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans to Asuma's lover, Kurenai Yuhi.

However, among ordinary ninjas, there is actually a greater demand for Kakashi to become Hokage.

Hiashi Hyuga's decision to have Hinata follow Kakashi was also based on political considerations.

Whether Kakashi becomes Hokage or not has nothing to do with the Hyuga clan, but the Hyuga clan must become a Hokage lineage.

Hiashi Hyuga's idea was actually quite good; if Naruto hadn't existed, the Third Hokage would have done it long ago.

Thinking about it... thinking about it, the Third Hokage suddenly understood.

Damn it, Naruto and Hinata have been hooking up for a long time. Even if they don't become teammates, their relationship won't be broken.

Since that's the case, it doesn't really matter if they're put in the same team.

It's just that teammates often have to live and die together, entrusting their backs to other teammates, and it's easier to build bonds in the face of life and death.

Upon closer examination, the Third Hokage realized that the Hyuga clan's only desire was self-preservation.

If one wants to protect oneself, one will not have any intention of seizing power.

Thinking about it this way, the three generations felt much more at ease.

Hiashi Hyuga really went to great lengths for Hinata and the clan.

Hinata's talent is too strong. Once Hinata becomes a true Kage-level powerhouse in the future, it's inevitable that the elders in the clan will have some thoughts about her.

Some of those elderly people were older than Konoha was founded, and they didn't actually have a deep affection for Konoha.

If they see a chance to seize power, the Hyuga might become the next Uchiha.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't want the Hyuga clan to split into two factions.

Making Hinata a member of the Hokage lineage, while it might not prevent the growth of ambition, would allow her to compete for the Hokage position through legitimate means.

Instead of plotting a rebellion like the Uchiha.

Having made his decision, the Third Hokage stopped paying attention to Naruto and instead turned the crystal ball's camera to see what Hinata was doing.

"Huh? Doesn't Hinata always like to sit in the front row?"

The Third Hokage searched the classroom and finally found Hinata in the last row.

Meanwhile, Hinata was fighting with Choji over snacks.

Snacks taste best when everyone's fighting over them.

"Just as rumored, while her talent is exceptional, her personality is somewhat unreliable..."

Hinata, this little butterfly, has been a lazy bum all along, but finally her butterfly wings have started to flutter.

And the first person influenced by Hinata was Sakura.

Although Sakura comes from a commoner family, her theoretical grades are better than Sasuke's, so the Third Hokage will naturally pay attention to geniuses from commoner families.

In the original work, even Kakashi once said that Sakura was very suitable for learning genjutsu.

If Sakura were to follow Kurenai Yuhi, Konoha would likely gain another powerful genjutsu ninja in the future.

In the original work, although the Third Hokage arranged Sakura to be in Kakashi's group, his initial idea was just to have her act as a lubricant between Naruto and Sasuke, since the three of them were in a love triangle.

But once Naruto neglects Sakura, the Third Hokage will naturally not pay much attention to her either.

The Third Hokage happily decided on the group assignments for Naruto's team, finally able to put aside the matter that had been on his mind for many years.

After all, this generation not only has the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but also the Uchiha orphan, and even the others are all heirs of the Konoha ninja clan.

If all parties cannot be satisfied, the Third Hokage's office will soon become quite lively.

……

Hinata clearly didn't expect that her arrival would push Sakura out of Team 7, but that was quite reasonable.

Whether considering Naruto and Sasuke's feelings or the Hyuga clan's attitude, the Third Hokage had no choice but to make this arrangement.

Hinata was eating snacks with Choji at the moment, but she was thinking about the future.

Now that she's in fifth grade, Hinata has to start thinking about her future.

"We can't be so heartless anymore!"

Hinata was actually quite satisfied with her abilities.

Even though she didn't train very hard, Hinata still had strength close to that of a Jonin. By the time she graduated, Hinata was confident that she could fight a Jonin.

Of course, this refers to ordinary Jonin, not elite Jonin like Kakashi.

Hinata's weakness isn't physical strength, but rather combat experience.

Hinata's strength will improve quickly after experiencing a few real battles.

Hinata's chakra reserves are enormous; under the observation of the Byakugan, Hinata's chakra reserves are only slightly less than those of Hiashi Hyuga.
