The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

It's hard to say whether Kakashi truly believed the aging Third Hokage could defeat Orochimaru, or whether he simply didn't want to rescue the Third Hokage.

Although the Four Purple Flame Formation is powerful, the Sound Four's chakra is limited.

With so many ninjas in Konoha, surely they can outlast four people in a battle of attrition?

Think about the disciples that the sons and daughters-in-law of three generations have trained!

Perhaps the Third Hokage wasn't as popular in Konoha as people imagined.

The Third Hokage was no match for the First and Second Hokage, so if he wanted to rule Konoha, he had to resort to certain methods.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

The aging third generation may have been corrupted by the lust for power, and is no longer the same person who was willing to die for his country in his youth.

"what--"

After a delicious and satisfying meal, Hinata stretched and leaned back on the ground, watching the white clouds drifting in the sky, not wanting to move a finger.

Emptying your mind and not thinking about anything—life is so leisurely!

Hinata is a content and grateful person.

Compared to Naruto and Sasuke, Hinata's life is like that of a princess in a fairy tale, happy and wonderful.

Hinata's peaceful life is actually the result of the entire Hyuga clan bearing the burden for her.

The more Hinata experienced in the ninja world, the more she felt the responsibility weighing on her shoulders.

This is not a peaceful world. While the fate of ninjas is indeed tragic, people like Tazuna and the people of the Land of Waves cannot even control their own destinies.

All beings are suffering.

At that moment, Hinata felt she had understood.

The more miserable the world seemed, the more Hinata felt... how blissful her carefree, lazy life was.

You don't have to worry about anything or think about anything; you can peacefully enjoy your warm and tranquil little life.

A few silly friends, a few seemingly serious but actually caring elders, and three meals a day to eat well—what could be more satisfying than that?

I'm still young, so please let my father work hard for a few more years!

Kakashi, unable to bear it any longer, kicked Hinata's little foot and said weakly, "Are you full? You should go take Naruto and Sasuke to eat; they're starving!"

At this moment, even Kakashi didn't seem so annoying anymore.

Hinata shook her head. No! This must be an illusion.

Kakashi is still as annoying as ever!

I must have been under a spell.

Tazuna's children also brought food for Naruto and Sasuke. Hinata packed the food into a lunchbox, added the two remaining grilled fish, found out where Naruto and Sasuke were, and happily ran over with the lunchbox.

'Bang! Bang! Bang...'

Before she even got close, Hinata heard the sounds of ninjas fighting coming from ahead. When she went closer, she saw that Naruto and Sasuke were indeed sparring.

Kakashi did not teach them ninjutsu.

Naruto can't remember more than five hand seals for ninjutsu, and Sasuke also has his own family's Fire Release technique. Apart from some special moves, those random ninjutsu are of no help to them at all.

Having already mastered tree climbing and water treading, all that remains is to solidify the basics, enhance combat experience, and then learn some ninjutsu that can deliver a fatal blow.

Hinata looked up at the two figures darting quickly through the trees and called out, "Hey—stop fighting, come and eat!"

Naruto and Sasuke jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Hinata. Both of them were covered in dirt. Naruto scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly, "Hinata, what delicious food did you bring me?"

Hinata handed over the lunchbox and said, "Here! That's all. But I caught these fish and grilled them with Kakashi-sensei. Try them!"

Naruto opened the lunchbox and exclaimed, "Huh? Hinata, you only caught two fish this morning? And they're so small..."

'boom! '

Hinata punched Naruto on the head and snorted, "If you don't want to eat it, give it to Sasuke!"

"I was wrong!"

"Humph!"

Sasuke maintained his cool demeanor, took the lunchbox, and began eating in silence.

Naruto and Sasuke wolfed down their food and, without resting, got up to continue their battle.

In battle, especially in a close match, one can integrate all of their knowledge and skills.

Combat experience is not just about the brain's judgment, but also about the body's muscle memory.

When the enemy attacks, it's too late to judge the situation using only your head.

Instead, you need to use your subconscious.

When an enemy attacks, the brain's subconscious and the body's muscle memory must react quickly the moment the eyes see it, and only then can the conscious mind make a judgment.

"Wait a minute, all of you—"

Hinata loudly stopped Naruto and Sasuke from continuing their fight, pointing to the messy dishes and chopsticks with one hand, and said with dissatisfaction, "You don't even know how to clean up after you finish eating!"

Naruto asked, bewildered, "Aren't these things girls do?"

"nonsense!"

Hinata glanced at Naruto and Sasuke's kidneys, gathered chakra in her fists, her expression gentle, and smiled with her eyes crinkling, as she reasoned, "I think boys can do these things too!"

"I see……"

Chapter 55 Even the young lady needs to work hard.

Watching Naruto and Sasuke obediently clean up the dishes, Hinata crossed her arms and nodded her little head in satisfaction.

Hmm! This child is teachable.

As expected, in the Naruto world, talk-no-jutsu is the most powerful.

See, I only said one sentence, and they obediently started clearing away the dishes.

After cleaning up the dishes, Naruto and Sasuke continued their battle. Hinata glanced at them a few times and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Hinata, Hinata, open your eyes wide and look carefully. Naruto and Sasuke, even as reincarnations of gods, are still training so hard, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

And you? What do you have? What right do you have to be lazy and not cultivate?

Ninjas are not divided into men and women. If you encounter an enemy in the future, do you really expect the enemy to let you go just because you look cute?

No matter how strong Naruto and Sasuke become in the future, they can't protect you forever.

Hinata had another epiphany.

I'm going to start training hard too!

"Blind eyes!"

Hinata activated her Byakugan, identified the direction of the Hyuga clan's team, and ran towards them as fast as she could.

"Hinata-sama! Is there anything you need?"

The Hyuga clan's team, led by Hyuga Tokuma, consists of one Jonin and three elite Chunin, making them nearly as strong as an Anbu team.

Hinata put her hands on her hips, mentally encouraging herself, and shouted, "I've decided to train hard! You guys fight me!"

Hyuga Tokuma was moved to tears; he was truly touched.

After all these years, the young lady has finally decided to train on her own initiative. With her talent, I believe that as long as she puts in the effort, she will definitely be able to surpass Lord Hiashi.

Once the young lady takes power, my life might be a little easier.

Poor Tokuma Hyuga had no idea that when Hinata took power, it might just be the beginning of his tragic life.

Tattling on others will never end well.

*Slap! Slap! Slap!*

Two hours have passed...

The four members of the Hyuga group were so exhausted that they were sticking out their tongues, their hands on their knees, and they didn't even have the strength to straighten up.

Hinata was also a little tired, but seeing the pathetic state of Hyuga Tokuma and the others, she still said with slight dissatisfaction, "This is outrageous! How could you be like this? You're too weak! How are you going to protect me in the future?"

Hyuga Tokuma said with a bitter expression, "It's because Lady Hinata is too strong."

Hyuga Tokuma was also somewhat impressed. Hinata's strength had improved too quickly. In just two hours of fighting, Hyuga Tokuma could feel that Hinata's Gentle Fist was becoming more and more profound.

It seems that only Lord Hiashi will be able to accompany Lady Hinata in her training from now on.

Hinata put on her haughty airs and snorted, "Even so, you all still need to train hard! When we get back from this mission, I'll tell Father that we don't need anyone to protect us for the time being, so you can train properly for a while."

Hyuga Tokuma, with tears in his eyes, said, "Thank you, Hinata-sama!"

Waaah~ Hinata-sama is so good to me, it's really touching.

Hinata thought to herself, "Finally, I can get rid of Hyuga Tokuma, this spy. Once I'm in power... Hmph!"

After two hours of fighting, Hinata felt that her strength had improved a lot compared to yesterday. She hummed a song all the way back to the bridge. Kakashi was still the same as before, sitting on the side of the bridge reading a book by himself.

Hinata now hates Kakashi. She picked up her fishing rod, sat far away from Kakashi, and resumed her lazy fishing routine.

Hinata also brought some novels with her, and she read them while fishing.

Hinata has a wide range of interests; she will read any book that is interesting.

Kakashi's heart was filled with "Icha Icha Paradise." Jiraiya had only written a few parts, and Kakashi read them over and over again, as if he had found new hope for life in the books.

Time flew by, and Kado seemed to have completely forgotten that Tazna was building a bridge, not sending anyone to cause trouble for five whole days.

Hinata didn't know whether Gato had given up or had other plans.

Gato was a businessman, and his knowledge and experience were naturally far superior to Tazuna's. Gato was well aware of Konoha's status in this world, as well as the strength of its ninjas.

The reason Gato dared to be arrogant towards Zabuza was because ninjas have their own rules, and within those rules, Gato had the right to be arrogant.

Building a bridge is not something that can be done in a day, but Dazner has already put the bridge almost to completion. According to estimates, it will be fully completed in about two weeks.

Two weeks... who knows what might happen?
