The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

……

The life of a genin is simple, but also very busy.

Every day I'm either busy carrying out missions or busy cultivating myself.

Hinata, however, was enjoying herself, since she had Naruto and Kakashi to amuse her with, and she would find all sorts of ways to torment them every day, making her life quite enjoyable.

Hinata has decided to remove Sasuke from her blacklist, after all, she has been beating him up at the Ninja Academy for six years, and Hinata can't bear to do it.

However, Hinata wasn't just messing with Naruto for nothing. As long as he didn't die, she would always gain some benefits and become stronger.

Naruto survived thanks to the Nine-Tails and the tenacious vitality of the Uzumaki clan, and his strength also improved considerably.

Sasuke has benefited from Naruto's influence and has made considerable progress recently.

As for Kakashi, although he always made excuses to be lazy, he still fulfilled his duties as a teacher.

After all, the gap between Naruto and Sasuke and Hinata is too great. If it is not bridged, the team will lose its balance.

Busy with farm work, cleaning up garbage, taking care of children... After doing D-rank missions for more than a month, Naruto and Sasuke finally got impatient.

Maybe I was just lucky, but today's task was easy and the reward was high.

Help the Lady of the Fire Country find her lost pet cat.

It's just an ordinary kitten, and it's very thin and not cute at all!

However, the cat had already escaped its predicament, and even with the help of the Byakugan, Naruto and Sasuke still ended up eating dust all morning.

With the afternoon still to go, Kakashi, Hinata, and the others prepared to take on another mission.

That Third Hokage sitting in the chair must be a shadow clone!

The Third Hokage picked up the task list, glanced at it, and said, "The Seventh Class's next task is... uh! Help the Fourth Prince take care of the kids, or go to the next village to buy things, or help harvest sweet potatoes..."

Naruto crossed his arms and shouted firmly, "No—don't give us any more low-level missions!"

"I need a more important mission. Give us a different mission!"

Hinata said timidly, "How about... we go harvest sweet potatoes?"

I'd rather go to the field to harvest sweet potatoes than beat Zabuza.

Since no equipment or experience can be obtained, and the client has concealed the truth about the mission, the reward probably won't be very high.

Only a fool would do a task like that.

Sasuke initially didn't want to speak, but after hearing Hinata's words, he still advised, "Hinata, don't you want to do higher-level missions? These kinds of missions are of no help to us at all!"

After a heated debate, the Third Hokage finally relented to Naruto, saying with a mixture of helplessness and relief, "Alright! In that case, I'll assign you a C-rank mission... to protect someone!"

Let me introduce you first—please come in.

A disheveled middle-aged man carrying a bottle of liquor and reeking of alcohol walked out of the lounge next door.

Hinata inwardly groaned, "It really was this guy."

Despite my impressive debating skills, I still couldn't win against Naruto.

Is his persuasive talk really that effective?

Are Zabuza and Haku really just beginner village bosses for these two reincarnated gods to train in?

"What the hell? They're all kids!" Tazuna took a sip of his drink, saying with utter disdain, "Especially... that shorty, he looks kind of stupid. Are you guys really ninjas?"

Naruto, still oblivious, chuckled and asked, "Hehehe! Who is he talking about? Shorty, silly..."

Hinata and Sasuke moved closer to Naruto as if by telepathy, allowing him to compare their heights up close.

Sasuke is definitely taller than Naruto. Hinata is already over 1.5 meters tall, while Naruto is still under 1.5 meters tall. o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

Naruto completely lost his temper, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to fight to the death: "I'm going to kill you!"

"Idiot, don't be so impulsive!" Kakashi pressed Naruto's head down, stopping his outburst: "He's someone we have to protect!"

Tazuna looked at Hinata and the other three and said, "I am the super famous bridge-building expert Tazuna. Please protect me with your lives until I return to the country and finish building the bridge!"

……

The mission to the Land of Waves is finally about to begin, and to be honest, Hinata is resistant to it from the inside out.

They must have nothing better to do than risk their lives against Zabuza.

It would be so much better to just stay in the village and carry out D-level missions honestly!

There's no danger, and the pay is good.

Unfortunately, Hinata, with her small arms and legs, couldn't overcome Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke.

To be honest, even Kakashi seems to have had enough of these boring D-rank missions.

Hinata walked along Konoha's shopping street with more than a month's salary in her pocket.

"Hmm... the Land of Waves is an island nation, so it seems I need to buy a fishing rod. That way, Tazuna can fish while he's building the bridge."

"Yes! We should buy a few novels too."

"I really want to read a novel written by Jiraiya himself. After all, he's one of the Legendary Sannin. But why do I have to be eighteen to buy it?!"

Hinata strolled around the shopping street and bought a lot of things, which basically used up her entire month's salary.

After all, Hinata is used to spending money lavishly and only buys high-end goods.

Looks like I'll have to ask my dad for some money when I get home!

"I'm already a ninja, isn't it embarrassing to still ask my family for money?"

Hinata returned home anxiously and found Hiashi Hyuga in the training room. Hanabi was also there, but Hinata didn't dare to speak up for the sake of her older sister.

Forget it, I'll take a look at the savings I've accumulated over the years later!

Seeing Hinata carrying so many bags, Hiashi Hyuga asked, "Hinata, are you leaving the village on a mission?"

Hinata nodded and said, "Yes, Father! Kakashi-sensei has accepted a C-rank mission and needs to go to the Land of Waves."

Chapter 47 Hinata's Painstaking Efforts

Hiashi Hyuga nodded without saying anything more.

Since Hinata herself has chosen this path, it is inevitable that she will leave the village to carry out missions. Moreover, given Hinata's strength, Hiashi Hyuga does not need to worry too much.

Hiashi Hyuga had heard that Kakashi went to Konoha Hospital on the day of the Chunin Exams, while Hinata returned clean and spotless.

Did they send Kakashi to the hospital?

Hiashi Hyuga gave her a few words of advice, and Hanabi looked at Hinata with eyes full of reluctance, asking, "How long will it be before you come back from this mission, sister?"

Hinata pinched Hanabi's cheek and said with a smile, "I'll be back soon. When I come back, I'll bring you a present, okay?"

"Yes!" Hanabi nodded heavily.

Although the Hyuga clan's system of separating the main family from the branch family is cruel, Hanabi has come to terms with it. She was determined to protect her older sister, and when Hinata inherits the main family, she will be the branch family member who protects Hinata.

Although being branded with the 'Caged Bird' curse means losing her freedom for life, there are still some things she can decide for herself.

After playing with Hanabi for a while, Hinata returned to her room to pack her bags for the trip.

……

The next morning, the sky was high and the air was crisp, and the warm morning sun shone on the earth.

The gates of Konoha, towering tens of meters high, showcase the village's strength. The wooden walls, reaching dozens of meters high, make anyone who steps here feel insignificant.

When Hinata arrived, Tazuna, Kakashi, and Sasuke were already there.

Hinata was carrying a large backpack, with a telescopic fishing rod peeking out from behind her.

The fishing rod was partially hidden, appearing shy and hesitant, but it was still enough to make it recognizable as a fishing rod.

Kakashi rubbed his forehead, asking with utter helplessness, "Hinata, what did you bring?"

Hinata thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "Like ninja tools, a change of clothes, some seasonings, tableware, oh! and a fishing rod, and novels to pass the time."

"Isn't the Land of Waves by the sea? When Uncle Tazuna goes fishing, I can go fishing too!"

Tazna retorted, "Hey! I invited you here to protect me, not to go on a picnic."

Hinata smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, Uncle Tazuna. There won't be any ninja battles in a C-rank mission. If there are ninjas, then it falls into the category of a B-rank mission, which is not a mission we can carry out. There will be other people protecting you then."

We need to take preventative measures first.

Once the demon brothers appear, I'll immediately suggest abandoning the mission. Only a fool would risk his life fighting Zabuza.

The key issue is that the amount of money is still small!

and many more!

Abandon the mission?

Have I caught Naruto's bug? He's already planning to give up on the mission, so why is he preparing so much stuff?!

I should have brought nothing at all.

Oh no, my IQ... is it really gone forever?

Tazuna's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this, and he didn't argue further. Kakashi glanced at Tazuna; he had already sensed that something was amiss.

However… Kakashi glanced at Hinata again, "Are you saying this with your hand on your heart?"

Naruto arrived shortly after and shouted as soon as he reached the gate, "Let's go!"

The Land of Waves is located east of Konoha, facing Konoha across the sea; it is a very small island nation.

The narrowest point of the strait between the Land of Waves and Konoha is no wider than a large river; that is where Tazuna built the bridge.

While Konoha possesses exceptional intelligence capabilities, a small country like the Land of Waves, lacking any ninjas, is not worth Konoha's attention.

This is why Tazuna was able to conceal his mission without being detected by Konoha.

As for Kado?

Although Gato is considered wealthy in the Land of Waves, he is nothing special in the Land of Fire.

In a situation like the Land of Waves, even with Zabuza present, Konoha could easily handle it by sending just a few Anbu squads.
