The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

Tazuna's daughter got up to clear the dishes. Kakashi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Our mission this time is to protect Mr. Tazuna until the bridge is completed. Zabuza has already failed, and Gato might have even more powerful ninjas under his command..."

Naruto exclaimed excitedly, "Kakashi-sensei, you mean..."

Sasuke trembled with excitement.

Throughout the journey, Naruto and Hinata stole the show, either unleashing the Nine-Tails or starting with a game-winning move, leaving Sasuke no chance to show off.

Sasuke is a show-off; he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't show off for a day.

Kakashi continued, "You've all grown a lot during this time. But if Gato sends more people, it will definitely be two or more Jonin... So, you still need to train hard during this period."

"Well……"

"Since Hinata only needs to do her daily training, the task of protecting Mr. Tazuna will be entrusted to Hinata."

Hinata patted her chest and assured her, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Kakashi was secretly surprised; given Hinata's personality, how could she agree so quickly?

Hinata suddenly asked, "By the way! I heard that you're an excellent cook, Kakashi-sensei. Is that true?"

I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Kakashi laughed it off and said, "How could I possibly cook? Really!"

Hinata didn't believe her: "Liar! Kakashi-sensei has been single for over twenty years, how could he not know how to cook?"

Bratty kids are just so annoying.

Kakashi struggled, saying, "I can order takeout!"

Hinata looked at Kakashi with admiration and said, "I've heard people say that if Kakashi-sensei hadn't become a ninja, he could have become a world-renowned chef."

Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Eh! Is Kakashi-sensei's cooking really that good?"

Kakashi waved his hands repeatedly, saying modestly, "It's not that exaggerated, I only know a few everyday things."

Hinata crossed her arms and sneered, "As expected, you can cook!"

Kakashi: "..."

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Method to Prove the Dao at the Shadow Level

Hinata knew that Kakashi was really good at cooking; it was Obito and Rin who personally gave him the thumbs up.

Hinata brought a fishing rod with her to the Land of Waves. Tazuna's house also has fishing nets and other fishing tools, so they can enjoy a seafood feast.

In addition, Hinata also brought some sealing scrolls, intending to seal some seafood to bring back to Konoha, so that Hanabi and Neji could also have a taste.

After all, Konoha is located in the center of the continent, and it is difficult to eat fresh seafood normally. No one would be so extravagant as to use a sealing scroll to seal seafood.

The key is that it can save money.

The sealing scroll belongs to the family, but the wallet is mine.

Before you gain power, you still need to save some money on the side.

Before becoming a ninja, Hinata had a large allowance every day. But after becoming a ninja, her family ran out of supplies, and Hinata had to be very careful with her money.

You can't exactly steal Hanabi's pocket money, can you?

Moreover, Neji is at the age where he should be dating, and he needs to have some money in his pocket to feel confident enough to ask girls out.

Hinata is the heir to the main family, so these are things that need to be considered.

After resting for a night, Hinata went with Tazuna to build the bridge early the next morning, while Kakashi took Naruto and Sasuke to a secluded place to train.

On the bridge, Tazuna led a group of workers to repair the bridge, while Hinata sat by the bridge and started fishing with a fishing rod.

For this trip, Hinata also borrowed pots, pans, and some seasonings from Tazuna's house.

Once we catch the fish, Kakashi can cook a big meal for us.

Hinata didn't know what special techniques Kakashi would teach Naruto and Sasuke, but she figured the two would become much stronger after this training.

By the time the Chunin Exams come around, Naruto won't be able to get bullied by Kankuro with just a single chakra thread, right?

As for Hinata herself, there's really nothing good to train for right now.

It's nothing more than increasing chakra reserves, daily basic training, Gentle Fist practice, developing powerful techniques, and so on.

As for Yin-Yang Release, Hinata had no clue what to do with it.

Without guidance from a Kage-level expert, Hinata would have to wait for her Tenseigan to awaken and use its power to develop Yin-Yang Release.

Speaking of ninja power, it's actually quite easy for a genin to be promoted to chunin.

With a few C-rank or higher ninjutsu techniques and some combat experience, most people will have the combat strength of a Chunin.

It's quite difficult to advance from Chunin to Jonin. Without sufficient talent and ability, 95% of ninjas will remain at the Chunin level for their entire lives.

As for the promotion of Jonin to Kage level, not only does it require sufficient talent and ability, but it also requires personal instruction from a Kage-level expert.

In the original story, Orochimaru was slightly surprised when he saw Kakashi use the Evil Sealing Technique to help Sasuke seal the cursed seal, and praised Kakashi for it.

That's because Kakashi's mastery of Yin-Yang Release is quite profound, which is a sign that a ninjutsu-type ninja has advanced to the Kage level.

For a taijutsu-type ninja to advance to the Kage level, they not only need to train day and night, but also need to master powerful taijutsu techniques.

Examples include Guy's Eight Gates Formation and Tsunade's Super Strength Fist.

Although the Hyuga clan's Eight Trigrams Mountain-Breaking Strike is relatively weak, if mastered, this technique can still give one near-Kage strength.

Hiashi Hyuga is currently at this stage.

To achieve Kage-level proficiency with Gentle Fist, one must first improve upon the most basic Gentle Fist techniques.

Hinata currently has two ideas.

First, cultivate immortal techniques. Once you master an immortal technique, you can directly attain the Shadow level.

Secondly, by cultivating Yin-Yang Escape and integrating its subtle variations into Gentle Fist, one can also break through the limits of the Kage level.

Of course, the above two points only apply to Hyuga Hiashi.

Hiashi Hyuga is already over forty years old, and his body is gradually aging. If he wants to break through to the Kage level, he can only consider the second option.

For Hinata, there is actually a third option.

Hinata's talent goes without saying, and she is currently in a period of rapid growth in strength.

As long as Hinata continues to refine her basic Gentle Fist training and perfects the Twenty Gods Vacuum Technique, she will eventually prove herself through Gentle Fist.

Compared to Jonin, being a Kage-level ninja is not simply about improving various attributes; one must also master powerful secret techniques.

Technique is the foundation of a ninja.

Hinata needs to continuously solidify her foundation so that she can directly attain Kage level once she completes any of the above steps.

However, if Hinata were to first prove herself as a Kage with Gentle Fist before mastering Sage Mode, Yin-Yang Release, and the Tenseigan, then mastering any one of these three powers would allow her to directly break through to the Super Kage level.

We're not afraid!

After all, he has the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan and the three wishes he had before transmigrating.

Although I'm just a lowly genin now, there are still more than three years before the ninja world descends into chaos.

I just hope that during this period, Obito Uchiha will consider that I am Kakashi's student and not make things difficult for me.

Hinata gently pulled the fishing rod as the float bobbed slightly, then used the net to scoop up the hooked fish and put it into the bucket.

The first fish took the bait.

But why isn't Kakashi here yet?

Tazna had already started working with the workers, and the clanging and banging noise must have scared away countless fish.

Hinata glanced at Tazuna with slight displeasure. "I really am incompatible with this old man."

Having traveled a long and arduous journey to the Land of Waves, not only was it time-consuming and exhausting, but it also posed a life-threatening risk. Now, they have suffered direct or indirect losses of tens of millions.

However, Tazuna is old after all, and his actions are for the sake of his own country. Hinata is a good girl who respects the elderly and loves the young. She can't possibly mess with Tazuna like she messed with Kakashi and Naruto!

Just then, Kakashi appeared behind Hinata in a flash, glanced at the bucket, and teased, "Yo! You've already caught a fish!"

Hinata didn't turn her head, her eyes fixed on the water, and said, "Then I'll have to leave lunch to Kakashi-sensei! I need to catch a few more fish, otherwise Naruto and Sasuke won't have anything to eat for lunch."

Kakashi was slightly touched; Hinata was still thinking about Naruto and Sasuke.

Considering their personalities, if we didn't bring them food, they would definitely continue cultivating until they were completely exhausted.

Kakashi sat down next to Hinata and took out "Make-Out Paradise" from his ninja tool bag to read.

After a long silence, Kakashi suddenly said, "Hinata, if you keep slacking off like this, Naruto and Sasuke will surpass you."

Want to have an awkward conversation?

Hinata replied calmly, "That's great! Once they surpass me, they can protect me. That way, I won't have to work so hard on missions in the future."

Naruto is my third knight.

Should we recruit Sasuke as well?

At this point, Hinata turned to look at Kakashi and said with a cute but cold smile, "This is a privilege reserved for us girls. Fighting is something our teammates and teachers can handle. My job is to cheer you on from behind."

The conversation has run out of topics.

Chapter 53 Kakashi-sensei can't possibly be this cute

The bridge, still under construction, is magnificent and imposing, possessing a unique beauty amidst its incompleteness.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and the sea reflected the sky. The emerald green water connected with the sky, initially with distinct shades, but as the distance increased, the water and sky became blurred together.

The girl sat on the edge of the bridge, fishing with a rod in her hand, her legs dangling in the air, occasionally swinging them, looking relaxed and enjoying the rare tranquility.

The white-haired youth sat beside the girl, one hand on the ground, the other holding a book, engrossed in the beautiful world described in the book, exuding a peaceful and carefree air.

What a warm and peaceful scene.

Warmth my foot! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
