The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

Kakashi did it on purpose!

This middle-aged lecherous man must have deliberately created this warm atmosphere; his purpose is far from pure.

Is he trying to pick me up?

Didn't Kakashi notice that something was off about the atmosphere?

Hinata couldn't take it anymore and had to find a topic to talk about.

"Kakashi-sensei, have you ever had a girl you liked before?"

Kakashi slightly shifted his right eye from the book and glanced at Hinata.

Hinata received the message Kakashi was trying to convey—the other party didn't want to talk to her and rolled their eyes at her.

"Kakashi-sensei will be thirty in a few years!"

Do you plan to go on blind dates in the future?

"Speaking of which, most people at Kakashi-sensei's age should already be married and have children!"

"There must be quite a few women of marriageable age among the Jonin. Does Kakashi-sensei have any in mind?"

"Let me tell you, when you're pursuing a girl, you have to be proactive. You can't be afraid to speak up. You have to let her know how you feel first, and then confess directly. If it doesn't work the first time, try the second. You have to be thick-skinned."

"Kakashi-sensei, although we are all ninjas, we can't just focus on missions! Actually, you can take on fewer missions, and don't always stay at home reading. Going out and meeting more girls is the more important thing."

"..."

Hinata, with the anxious air of an old mother concerned about her children's marriages, kept urging Kakashi to get married. At first, she just kept asking questions, but later she simply started teaching Kakashi how to woo a girlfriend.

He's almost thirty, it's really worrying.

Kakashi initially felt a little embarrassed, but later he became increasingly annoyed.

Hinata's little mouth chattered on and on, as if she were talking until the end of time.

Did Hinata take the wrong medicine today?

Kakashi finally stopped reading. He first looked at Hinata with a puzzled expression, and then reflected on himself, wondering if he had offended Hinata recently.

Continuing this mission shouldn't be a big deal, right?

After all, Naruto and Sasuke are still there to hold the line.

Even if Hinata is going to hold a grudge, she should hold a grudge against Naruto and Sasuke!

It shouldn't be that the blame doesn't fall on me.

Kakashi thought to himself, "Is Hinata blaming me for not asking Tazuna for a house? But... it's hard to bring up something like this!"

Kakashi glanced at Hinata's face again, and sure enough, she looked like she was about to get angry.

Sigh! It's really hard to understand a girl's thoughts.

Seeing Kakashi's puzzled expression, Hinata decided to give him a hint.

Hinata shrugged, moving a centimeter away from Kakashi.

It's not that Hinata is lazy, it's just that this method of movement is too strenuous. It's better to let Kakashi figure it out on his own and then leave voluntarily.

Kakashi's insight as a Jonin was astonishing; he naturally understood Hinata's meaning.

Kakashi sighed inwardly, "Am I really that unpopular with girls?"

Kakashi looked at Hinata, and Hinata looked back at Kakashi.

"Did I offend you?"

"No, but I'm afraid people will misunderstand!"

What's the misunderstanding?

"Didn't you sense that the atmosphere was a bit strange just now?"

"..."

With a glance, Hinata and Kakashi both understood each other's meaning.

Kakashi stretched and said, "Would I, an adult, date a little kid like you?"

Hinata scoffed, "Middle-aged men are all lolicon, how can I not be wary of you?"

Kakashi stubbornly refused to leave. How could a teacher's dignity be violated by a disciple?

Hinata didn't even flinch. "I am Hinata Otsutsuki, destined to become a god. How could I be afraid of a mere mortal like you?"

Hinata continued fishing, while Kakashi continued reading.

The atmosphere returned to its previous warm and peaceful state...

A young girl is leisurely fishing, while a young man is lazily reading a book...

By noon, Hinata had caught a total of thirteen fish, the largest of which weighed a full five pounds.

Hinata's eyes sparkled as she looked at Kakashi and pleaded, "Kakashi-sensei, please!"

After all, it was the lunch for the four of them. Although Tazuna's daughter would deliver food to the bridge workers, the amount of food was clearly not enough to satisfy Hinata's appetite.

Moreover, Naruto and Sasuke had been training all morning and now needed to replenish their Kage's nutrition and stamina.

That being said, would Kakashi care about these things?

"Cook the fish you catch yourself!"

Kakashi turned away and continued reading, ignoring Hinata's cute antics.

Hinata has no cooking skills whatsoever.

Having been pampered like a young lady all her life, never lifting a finger to cook, how could she possibly have the ability to cook?

"Kakashi-sensei, don't you want to eat fish? It smells delicious!"

"I don't eat much, I'll just eat something light for a while."

Damn it! What a disgrace!

Hinata was completely upset at that moment.

What do you mean you have a small appetite? Are you saying I have a large appetite?

Although this is true, Hinata has always denied it.

I'm just like a camel, storing up food for the next few dozen days in my body.

I really can't eat that much in one meal.

Or rather, I actually know the Akimichi family's secret technique of storing chakra in fat... Hinata looked down at a certain spot, and sure enough, the chakra was stored there.

Otherwise, how could I be so amazing?

If you don't believe me, let's have a fight!

Hinata shifted her position, moving more than a meter away from Kakashi, and decided that she would never speak another word to him again in her life—friendship over!

After waiting for a while, Hinata snorted, "Then let Naruto and Sasuke starve to death."

Hinata wouldn't mind being Naruto and Sasuke's food delivery person just to get a meal from Kakashi.

But now even Hinata herself has nothing to eat, so who cares if the two of them will starve to death?

Besides, Hinata and Naruto have a grudge against each other.

Let him starve to death.

Hinata glanced at Kakashi, but her gaze followed Kakashi and landed on Tazuna, who was busy behind Kakashi.

"If Naruto and Sasuke starve to death, it will definitely not be Kakashi's fault."

"They are so young, at the very age when they should be growing, but they don't even have food to eat..."

"Sigh! In this vast world, among all living beings, only my teammate cares about them!"

"..."

Kakashi looked up at the sky speechlessly. What terrible things have I done in my life to end up with a subordinate like Hinata?

"Fine, I'm really scared of you!"

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Young Lady Must Persuade with Reason

There are many ways to cook fish, but given the current circumstances, Kakashi can only make the simplest grilled fish.

After lighting a small fire and preparing the fish, skewer them with branches and then stick them into the ground to slowly roast them over the fire.

Kakashi watched the heat and added various seasonings to the grilled fish. Soon, the aroma of the grilled fish filled the air.

Hinata couldn't resist the aroma of the grilled fish and her mouth watered.

This fish was caught by myself after a whole morning of hard work. Although Kakashi was the head chef, Hinata also helped!

Indeed, the food I cook myself tastes the best.

The thirteen fish were grilled in no time, and Tazna's daughter brought lunch to everyone.

Hinata received her portion, first laid a tablecloth on the ground, then placed the cutlery, and finally put the grilled fish on the borrowed plate.

I took a small bite of the grilled fish, mmm... crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, plus the flavor of all the seasonings, it smells so good!

Hinata ate to her heart's content and praised Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, you're really wasting your talents as a ninja. After you retire, how about you consider opening a restaurant? By then, I'll probably be old enough to mentor newcomers, and I'll bring my students to your restaurant to support you."

After thinking for a moment, Hinata added, "Of course, it'll definitely be my treat!"

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes and said, "I'll take that as a compliment."

In any case, being able to live to retirement is much better than dying young.

Kakashi agreed to cook for Hinata not just because Hinata kept pestering him, but because Hinata's words touched him.

Thinking back to the first time I went to Naruto's house, Naruto was still drinking expired milk.

Kakashi's feelings for the Third Hokage must be very complicated!

I remember during the Chunin Exams in the original story, the Third Hokage was trapped by the Four Purple Flame Formation. Guy originally wanted to go and rescue him, but Kakashi refused, using the excuse that "he is our Hokage."
