The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

One must not lose the dignity of a Hokage in front of subordinates, and even less should one mock subordinates or rub salt into their wounds.

A test for Konoha's genin resulted in an injury to Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's elite jonin, the renowned "Copy Ninja" who enjoys a prestigious reputation throughout the ninja world. No matter how you look at it, this seems like a joke.

Kakashi was indeed injured, and he even made a special trip to Konoha Hospital.

Now, even the receipts and treatment slips from Konoha Hospital are placed on the Hokage's desk.

He even made three generations of his family reimburse him!

Hmm... If Kakashi wasn't trying to embezzle public funds, then he was genuinely injured.

After listening to Kakashi's report, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "Kakashi, now that they have passed your test, I'll leave them to you from now on. Especially Naruto, you'll have to take good care of him."

Hinata's strength was beyond imagination, and the Third Hokage kept this in mind.

During Hinata's six years at the Ninja Academy, the Third Hokage had a fairly good understanding of her.

Hinata's personality... well, how should I put it? I'd say she's carefree and thoughtless!

For someone like this, there's no need to worry about three generations.

Children who grow up in a peaceful environment are less likely to have ambitions or a dark side.

What the Third Hokage was actually worried about was the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga is quite sensible and has been well-behaved over the years. He not only sent both of his daughters to the ninja academy, but in fact, all the children of the Hyuga family who were of school age were sent to the ninja academy by Hiashi Hyuga.

The most impressive thing about ninja schools isn't their teaching quality, but their brainwashing.

However, the Hyuga clan still has many old fogies, who are of the same generation as the Third Hokage, and they may not have a deep affection for Konoha.

It's a good thing that a genius has emerged from Konoha.

But the fact that this genius's surname is Hyuga is not a good thing.

Especially in Konoha now, the Hyuga clan is practically the most powerful ninja clan.

Some people, upon seeing Hinata's talent, inevitably harbored certain thoughts.

The Third Hokage rubbed his temples. He could feel that his energy and stamina could no longer keep up with the enormous workload of the Hokage. He could only pin his hopes on the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, hoping that they could suppress the Hyuga clan!

Konoha is currently facing a talent shortage, and if it weren't for Obito and Rin's situation, Kakashi would have been the best candidate to succeed as Hokage.

But now...

Kakashi has been in a slump for a long time; he lacks both strength and the ability to take responsibility.

Once the fifth generation is chosen, it is highly likely that Danzo Shimura will rise again.

This is not what the third generation wanted to see.

Jiraiya was unrestrained and didn't want to become Hokage, while Tsunade's hemophobia had subsided, making it impossible for them to continue their ninja careers.

The Nine-Tails incident caused Konoha to lose a large number of its core members. Kakashi's generation was not yet fully mature, and Naruto's generation was just beginning to grow up.

The pressure on the third generation is actually quite significant.

He didn't really want to suppress anyone; he just wanted to maintain the balance of the village and prevent any one force from becoming too powerful.

But who wouldn't want to stand out from the crowd?

Being the Hokage is actually a job that can offend a lot of people.

For example, three generations might unknowingly offend someone with a petty temper.

……

'Thump thump thump!'

Hearing the knock, Hinata got out of bed and opened the door.

"Hey! Hanabi, you've come to see your big sister!"

Hinata picked Hanabi up and bounced her around, then couldn't help but complain, "Hanabi, you seem to have gained a lot of weight lately!"

Hanabi blushed slightly and said in a soft voice, "Sister, Father said he wants to celebrate for you tonight!"

Hinata placed the fireworks on the bed and sighed helplessly, "What a hassle!"

Celebrating Hinata becoming a genin is certainly a good thing, but the Hyuga clan's celebrations involve very complicated rituals and etiquette.

Hinata is the heir of the Hyuga clan. Every year on her birthday, members of the Hyuga clan, young and old, would send her gifts, and the birthday banquet alone would be a grand affair.

Hinata has now become a genin, which is only a small step in her ninja career, but if there is to be a celebration, all the elders in her family will probably be there.

Hinata does enjoy lively gatherings, but only among her peers. If elders are present, the gatherings don't get lively at all.

The elders of the Hyuga clan, in particular, place great importance on etiquette and hierarchy.

Putting her worries aside, Hinata pinched Hanabi's cheek and asked with a smile, "Hanabi, have you been behaving well at school?"

Hanabi nodded her little head, then seemed to think of something annoying, and frowned slightly, saying, "It's just that Konohamaru in our class is a bit annoying. He seems to have learned a ninjutsu from someone recently and got a big scolding from the teacher!"

Konohamaru? Ninjutsu?

Could it be that she learned the Sexy Jutsu from Naruto?

Hinata gasped. "Konohamaru, you just wait! Once the Third Hokage is dead, I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Hinata had never longed for Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha so much.

Kill the third generation! Kill the third generation! Kill the third generation!

Look at the lecherous grandson you raised, you old pervert!

Oh, and Naruto too!

Just wait to die tomorrow!

Furthermore, Hinata thought of something else.

Although Hinata didn't watch Boruto in her previous life, there seems to be a rumor online that Hyuga Hanabi and Konohamaru are together...

I bother!

I disagree!

Hinata's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she added three more people to her blacklist.

Besides Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Tokuma, Hyuga Hiashi, and Kakashi, there are now also the Third Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto, and Konohamaru.

One corrupted his grandson, another corrupted his younger brother, and the last one was no good to begin with.

Orochimaru, whether I can beat up the Hokage's grandson depends entirely on how well you perform.

This is truly an eye for an eye.

While the Third Hokage is still figuring out how to suppress the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hyuga is already hoping for his death.

In the original story, the third preliminary round of the Chunin Exams, where Hyuga Neji faced off against Hyuga Hinata, was entirely orchestrated by the Third Hokage.

It caused Hinata in the original story to suffer such a serious injury.

Therefore, one must always be kind and never harbor any ill intentions.

This is what is meant by "good and evil will eventually be rewarded."

The grandson of the third generation coveted Hinata's sister. See, now he's getting his comeuppance!

Seeing that it was almost time, Hinata took Hanabi's hand and they went to make do—yes, you didn't misspell it, they went to make do!

Chapter 43 A Ninja's Life Begins with Picking Apples

The next morning, Hinata didn't take any ninja tools. She just carried a small backpack with a water bottle, tea set, and pastries on it, and happily went out the door.

A ninja's main source of income is completing missions.

The tasks that ninjas can perform range from taking care of children to assassinating daimyo. Ninja tasks are divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D.

Generally speaking, genin can only accept C-rank and D-rank missions.

New ninjas like Hinata can usually only take on D-rank missions.

This includes, but is not limited to, childcare, delivering mail, shopping, and farm work.

Hinata was already mentally prepared and was quite looking forward to it.

And Naruto, you just wait!

When they arrived at the mission assignment point, Naruto and Sasuke were already there. Hinata had prepared herself for Kakashi to be late, but to her surprise, Kakashi arrived right on time.

However, being late is just as despicable as being on time!

The first task for Class 7 was... to pick apples.

Kakashi led Hinata and the others to the apple orchard, sat down under an apple tree, and took out the "Make-Out Paradise" ninja tool from his pouch with his right hand. He glanced at Hinata and the others with his right eye and said listlessly, "Our task today is to help pick apples. You three divide up the area yourselves, and good luck!"

Naruto and Sasuke looked worried; this was hardly a mission for ninjas!

However, they couldn't fight city hall, and after their expressions changed several times, they obediently started working.

Hinata waved to Naruto and said with a smile, "Naruto, do you want to know why I'm so strong?"

Naruto nodded quickly, and Sasuke, who was about to pick an apple, also stopped.

Hinata smiled adorably and tempted him, "Naruto, if you can help me finish mine too, I'll teach you a training method that will guarantee a huge increase in your strength. How about it? It's a great deal!"

Naruto was overjoyed upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Really!"

Hinata nodded earnestly, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and said affirmatively, "Tell me, when have I ever lied to you?"

Naruto looked at the apple orchard, scratched his head, and said with difficulty, "But this place is so big! I don't know when we'll be able to finish it."

Hinata said with exasperation, "Don't you know how to use shadow clones? You can use them to help with the work!"

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed happily, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

Hinata encouraged him, "Remember! Using Shadow Clones will get things done much faster. Naruto, good luck!"

Although Kakashi is the Jonin in charge of Hinata and her two friends, and they call him "teacher," to Kakashi, Hinata and her friends are only his subordinates, and there is no master-disciple relationship between them.

Kakashi's main task was to guide Hinata and the other two through the beginner's quests.

Generally speaking, the relationship between Jonin and Genin is that of a captain and his subordinate.
