The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

"Eh... a suit?"

Hinata stood up and stood next to Kakashi, pointing at Gato and asking, "Kakashi-sensei, what's with his clothes?"

Hinata didn't dare to say "suit" directly. Who knew what that outfit was called in the ninja world?

Kakashi looked up at the sky speechlessly. Was it even important what Gato was wearing?

The important thing is that a major battle is about to begin, okay?

Chapter 57 Hinata, who knows how to get along with people

Actually... having a Hyuga clan ninja as a teammate is a very fortunate thing.

Because the Byakugan can detect enemies hidden in the shadows.

Hinata used her Byakugan to scout the area three times, not because the enemy was well hidden, but because... there wasn't a single enemy around.

Who gave Gato such courage, thinking that he could deal with ninjas by gathering a group of third-rate wandering samurai?

Based on the skill level of these wandering samurai, Sasuke three years later could take on a thousand men single-handedly without even getting his clothes dirty.

Hinata and Kakashi could easily do the same at this moment.

Hinata helplessly shrugged and gestured to Kakashi that their opponents were actually just the few people in front of them.

Kakashi visibly breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought he would have to face at least two Jonin this time.

In this world, ninjas are extremely rare.

Even with the combined forces of the five great ninja villages, ensuring sufficient defensive capabilities for each village, and including the samurai of the Land of Iron, they could only muster an army of 80,000.

Compared to the vast majority of ordinary people, the number of ninjas is negligible.

Although ninjas are the mainstream in the world, very few people have actually witnessed the strength of a Jonin.

Just like when we first saw the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, we inevitably underestimated the power of the First Hokage and Madara, thinking that the strongest power in the ninja world was probably only at this level.

Although Gato hired Zabuza, he had never seen Zabuza's true strength.

That's why he naively believed that as long as he had enough manpower, he could defeat the strong.

And so... he failed miserably.

The enemy consisted only of these small fry in front of her. Hinata closed her Byakugan and looked at Kakashi, asking, "What do we do?"

Kakashi scratched his head in a dilemma, thought for a moment, and finally said helplessly, "Let's just do it for the sake of this country, and also for the sake of Konoha."

Hinata nodded. Kakashi's words undoubtedly sealed Gato's fate.

Ninjas have their own ironclad rules. Take this mission to the Land of Waves for example, Team 7's mission was to protect Tazuna until the bridge was completed.

If the enemy is only Gato, it can be considered a C-rank mission. However, if Zabuza is added to the enemy team, the mission rank will be raised to A-rank or higher.

However, if it is a mission to assassinate Gato, even if he is just an ordinary person, the difficulty of the mission will be raised to A-rank, and many ninja villages will not accept such a mission.

While Gato might not be much to the ninja village, he was a well-known and extremely wealthy man among ordinary people.

If such an important figure were killed casually, the ninja would incur the wrath of some wealthy people, officials, daimyo, and others.

Even if Gato is a bad guy, he can't be killed indiscriminately as long as he doesn't hinder the ninja's mission.

But this time, it was Kado who willingly threw himself to his death, so killing Kado doesn't matter.

Protecting Tazuna is Team 7's mission. Anyone who tries to kill Tazuna will be killed by Team 7.

Kakashi was the one who made the move, and Gato was instantly killed.

After chasing away the samurai, Hinata casually picked up a samurai sword and weighed it in her hand... It wasn't worth much.

"Kakashi-sensei, now that Gato is dead, can we inherit his property?"

Hinata felt she had been cheated out of her time during this mission to the Land of Waves.

Kakashi took out "Icha Icha Paradise" from his ninja tool bag and continued reading. Upon hearing this, he casually replied, "Gato's property will be handled by the country he lives in. We cannot interfere."

Hinata glanced at Kakashi and sneered, "Only low-level thugs would follow such rules!"

“Yeah!” Kakashi turned a page of his book and said calmly, “So you can forget about it, you little minion.”

Hinata wanted to put up a fight, after all, it was a huge sum of money!

For Hinata, who was facing a financial crisis, this was a lifeline.

But then Hinata suddenly remembered something and immediately stopped the conversation.

Kakashi's father, the White Fang of Konoha, committed suicide because he couldn't withstand the pressure of rumors and didn't follow the rules of ninjas.

Although Obito's appearance made Kakashi realize the importance of his comrades again, the rules of the ninja may always be a thorn in Kakashi's side.

"Phew~ Finally got rid of Gato, looks like this mission can be completed smoothly. Kakashi-sensei, how about treating us to a meal when we get back to Konoha!"

"Sure!" Kakashi suddenly became interested, turned his head to look at Hinata, and said with a smile, "Hinata, you've really struck it rich this time. The Executioner's Blade is your personal trophy. After receiving the village's reward, you should definitely treat your teammates and teacher to a big meal."

"No problem!" Hinata smiled happily as well. "Then let's eat at Kakashi-sensei's house! It'll be more meaningful for our Team 7 to cook for ourselves. I'll pay for all the ingredients."

Hinata wouldn't mind spending money once if Kakashi was willing to cook.

……

After Gato's death, Team 7 stayed in the Land of Waves for another three weeks, and Tazuna finally completed the final finishing touches and finished building the bridge.

The new bridge in the Land of Waves was eventually named the Bridge of Courage, symbolizing the courage of the people of the Land of Waves and representing the rebirth of the Land of Waves.

It's worth mentioning that during his sparring session with Naruto, Sasuke finally realized that he had actually awakened the Sharingan a long time ago, and with his newly acquired ability, he gave Naruto a sound beating.

"Konoha! I'm back!"

Standing in front of the gates of Konoha, Hinata shouted loudly.

This wasn't the first time Hinata had left Konoha, but every time she was away for a long time, she would feel a sense of familiarity when she returned.

This place can be considered Hinata's second hometown.

Kakashi went to complete the mission alone with the Executioner's Blade. As for the dinner he had promised Hinata, Kakashi never mentioned it again when Hinata decided to have dinner at his house.

Moreover, Kakashi doesn't plan to treat anyone.

Although the team dinner was canceled, Hinata brought back a lot of seafood from her trip to the Land of Waves, all of which she asked the fishermen there to help her catch.

Hinata sealed some large, delicious-looking seafood in a scroll, packed it all up, and brought it back to Konoha.

Hanabi and Neji are still at home.

Bye-bye, see you tomorrow!

After saying goodbye to Naruto and Sasuke, Hinata ran back to the Hyuga clan, carrying a scroll that sealed the seafood, and delivered it to each household as a gift, giving each family a little so they could also have a taste.

After all, these people will be Hinata's subordinates in the future. Giving them small favors now will make it easier for her to order them around later, right?

When it comes to being charming and innocent, my beloved Hinata Tsutsutsuki is second to none.

Hinata kept some of the seafood with her when she was finally delivered.

After thinking for a moment, Hinata also sent some to the Ino-Shika-Cho family, the Inuzuka family, the Aburame family, Sakura, and others.

We're all in Konoha, and we'll be seeing each other all the time. Giving each other some benefits now is called doing a favor.

As for the Third Hokage of Konoha... well, forget about him!

Sometimes you have to be realistic, after all, the Chunin Exams are about to begin.

Chapter 58 What Preparations Should Tsunade Make Upon Returning to the Village?

Hiashi Hyuga was very pleased.

At first, when he received Hyuga Tokuma's report that Hinata was taking the family's sealing scroll and preparing to go to the Land of Waves to seal the seafood, he almost thought Hinata had gone crazy.

Managing a large ninja clan requires not only sufficient strength, but also the ability to amass wealth.

After all, the Hyuga clan has over a thousand members, and they all depend on the clan leader for their livelihood.

While the sealing scroll may not seem like much to the Hyuga clan, its value far surpasses that of seafood.

This is a high-tech product from the ninja world, packed with advanced technology.

spendthrift!

But... Hinata brought back fresh seafood from the Land of Waves, and the first thing she did was to deliver gifts to everyone.

Although seafood isn't worth much, Hinata is only twelve years old, so this is a token of her affection!

As the saying goes, "A gift of a goose feather from afar carries great meaning, though the gift itself is small."

Hinata went to the Land of Waves on a mission and brought back local specialties for everyone. This is a token of her appreciation, showing that Hinata cares about you all.

Hiashi Hyuga was extremely satisfied after discovering that his eldest daughter possessed exceptional diplomatic skills.

With the Hyuga clan now under Hinata's control, Hiashi Hyuga can finally rest easy.

Hinata received countless compliments and likes throughout the day and went home satisfied.

……

When Hanabi finished school and Neji finished his mission and went home, Hinata called the two of them to her courtyard and held a seafood buffet party.

Okay! It's supposed to be a buffet, but none of Hinata, Hanabi, and Neji can cook, let alone handle seafood.

In the end, Hinata had to pay out of her own pocket to hire a chef so that Neji and Hanabi could finally have a hot meal of seafood.

Hinata sat beside Hanabi, helping her prepare some of the harder-to-handle seafood, and asked, "Hanabi, is it good?"

"Yes!" Hanabi nodded her little head emphatically and smiled at Hinata, "Thank you, big sister."

Seeing that the topic had been set off, Hinata began to boast, "You guys, this time when I went to the Land of Waves, I almost didn't make it back."

"what?"

Hanabi's mouth was slightly open as she gripped Hinata's arm tightly, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Hinata.

Hinata pinched Hanabi's cheek and continued, "Do you know who I met? Zabuza, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure, who is infamous throughout the ninja world. He was once one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
