The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

"Back then, we did this... then that... and finally I did this... then that... and that's how we barely defeated Zabuza, and even brought his guillotine back to the village."

"The casualties are heavy!"

Hanabi looked at Hinata with admiration. "My older sister is so amazing!"

Neji listened quietly to Hinata's boasting. He swore that Zabuza, the demon, would die a horrible death.

Otherwise, Hinata would never have described the battle as so difficult; instead, she would have said that she killed Zabuza in just a few moves.

The more difficult something is, the simpler it becomes when Hinata talks about it; the simpler something is, the more difficult it becomes when Hinata talks about it.

After boasting about herself, Hinata turned to Neji and said innocently, "Neji-nii, how have you guys been lately? I heard that Guy-sensei is a very powerful ninja."

Neji has a strong will to survive. Hinata had just boasted about herself, so what Hinata wanted to hear at this moment was definitely not his boasting.

Neji said casually, "We've been carrying out D-rank missions in the village lately, it's quite boring."

Hinata nodded in satisfaction and said, "Our Team 7 just defeated Zabuza and needs to rest for a while. We'll probably be on a D-rank mission soon, so it looks like we'll be able to see each other more often in the future."

Neji didn't dare say that Guy had taken on another C-rank mission today, and they were leaving tomorrow.

Hanabi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Hinata with adoration; she loved listening to her older sister's stories.

Everyone was satisfied with the seafood feast, but life had to go on. The next morning, Class Seven assembled on time and began their journey on the D-level mission.

Kakashi handed the Executioner's Blade over to the village, as it belonged to Kirigakure, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were the face of Kirigakure.

Regardless of the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure, this sword must be returned to Kirigakure, and some benefits should be demanded from Kirigakure as well.

After all, we live in a time of peace.

Of course, it's not impossible for Konoha to keep it, as long as there are ninjas in the village who can use this ninja sword.

Speaking of Kirigakure, Hinata couldn't help but think of Ao, the bodyguard of the Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

Regardless of how Ao got her Byakugan, Hinata, as the heir to the Hyuga main family, has a duty to reclaim that eye.

Moreover, it must be done before the Five Shadows Conference is held three years later.

Although Hinata could offer to exchange her Executioner's Blade for the Byakugan, the Hidden Mist Village might not be willing to make the deal.

For the ninja village, the Byakugan's strategic value undoubtedly surpasses that of the Executioner's Blade.

Taking back Ao's Byakugan was the first thing Hinata wanted to do after arriving in the ninja world, and it was also Hinata's responsibility.

Life returned to the rhythm of the period right after graduation, with daily D-level missions and spare time devoted to cultivation.

According to the timeline, the Chunin Exams are just around the corner, and Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha is imminent.

Hinata didn't plan to tell anyone about this beforehand, and besides, Hinata is a nobody, so she probably wouldn't believe her even if she did.

Hinata wanted to remain a genin for life, and then retire and go home three years later before the Fourth Shinobi World War.

However, Hinata's identity meant that she had to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Hinata not only wants to become a Jonin, but also a powerful ninja renowned throughout the ninja world, so that she can repay Hiashi Hyuga's expectations.

Since we're going to participate in the Chunin Exams, there are some things we need to plan ahead of time.

In the second round of the Chunin Exams, Hinata didn't want to fight Orochimaru to the death. Orochimaru wasn't some newbie village boss like Zabuza. Hinata really couldn't beat Orochimaru.

Hinata is aware of this much.

Therefore, it is necessary to make a plan in advance to avoid encountering Orochimaru.

Then, once the Konoha Crush plan begins, he will immediately return to the Hyuga clan to protect his people.

Once the Third Hokage dies, Tsunade will become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha...

Wait, Tsunade?

Hinata slapped her thigh. "It's Tsunade! How could I forget something so important?"

The legendary Tsunade is going to return to Konoha to become Hokage. What preparations do I need to make in advance?

Nonsense, of course you need to hone your gambling skills!

If I don't win tens or hundreds of millions from Tsunade, can I do justice to my wallet?

As long as Tsunade is still in power, Hinata has the opportunity to use her gambling skills to transfer the wealth accumulated by the Senju clan over a thousand years, as well as the public funds of Konoha Village, into her own pocket.

"Hyuga Tokuma—"

"Hinata-sama!"

"I'm giving you a task: as quickly as possible, bring back a gambling expert for me. I need to learn gambling skills!"

"What?!"

Hyuga Tokuma: "This matter must be reported to Lord Hiashi as soon as possible."

Chapter 59 It feels so good to beat someone up

The leisurely and pleasant D-rank mission made Hinata feel like she had come back to life.

"Ah—what a super happy day!"

After returning from her mission, Hinata stretched and loosened her muscles, only to find that she had just received a small sum of money.

A few days ago, something happened that made Hinata's heart ache so much she couldn't breathe.

The reward for handing over the decapitation sword to the village was intercepted by Hiashi Hyuga.

No one knows what kind of shady deal Hyuga Hiashi made with the Third Hokage, but as for the rewards and such, Hinata had nothing to do with them anymore.

Hinata stormed in, but Hiashi Hyuga simply replied: "I'll turn a blind eye to your learning gambling techniques."

you are awesome!

Hyuga Tokuma, this isn't over yet.

To save money, Hinata had to eat all three meals at home, and even when she went out on missions, she had to bring food from home.

After several weeks, Hinata's wallet finally started to bulge again.

Can you believe I'm the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family?

Didn't we agree that girls should be raised in luxury...? Could I have been adopted?

If it weren't for her pure Byakugan, Hinata would really have doubted her origins. Why didn't she get any pocket money after graduation?

I'm still a child.

"Damn it! Sasuke, I'm going to kill you!"

"Humph!"

Just as Hinata was lost in thought, Naruto and Sasuke had another argument, and they almost came to blows if Kakashi hadn't stopped them.

Kakashi sighed listlessly, "Sigh! Our team spirit has really been lacking lately!"

Hinata nodded vigorously, agreeing wholeheartedly, "That's right! And it's all Kakashi-sensei's fault. Friendships need to be strengthened through frequent meals together!"

Kakashi: "..."

Kakashi had no idea what misfortune had befallen him.

The three disciples are: one is an idiot; one is always trying to act cool; and the other is a little money-grubber who recently even brings his own food from home when going out on missions. He absolutely refuses to eat at restaurants unless someone treats him.

Hmph! The food at home is clean and nutritious.

Kakashi sometimes feels so sorry for Hinata; she's such a pitiful little girl...

Although Kakashi always believed that he was under a genjutsu and that Hinata was pitiful, he was sure it was all a misconception.

"Wow—"

A long, drawn-out cry came from the sky.

The four looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a ninja hawk flying overhead.

Kakashi seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly said, "Everyone, let's call it a day. I still have to submit a report later."

Hinata was furious upon hearing this, pointing at Kakashi and complaining, "Kakashi-sensei is such a bully! He's always late for our appointments, but when the Hokage summons him, he runs off like a puppy. Shameless!"

"what!"

Having spent so much time with Hinata, Kakashi had long since developed a calm and composed mindset. Upon hearing this, he calmly replied, "After all, I still have to make a living under the Hokage's command!"

"I'm leaving first!"

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and walked away.

Ever since the mission to the Land of Waves, Sasuke has become particularly awkward. Whenever Kakashi isn't around, he always trains alone in silence.

Hinata was too lazy to pay him any attention. She was about to say goodbye to Naruto and go home for a nap when Naruto approached her with a lewd look on his face: "Hinata, Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke aren't here, so why don't we... go train together!"

My personal charm has been proven, but why can't I be happy at all?

Hinata turned around stiffly and suddenly saw a strange thing behind Naruto. It was square and had two holes in it.

What the hell is this?

The strange object was lifted up, and three little devils struggled to crawl out. They quickly stood together, struck a pose, and loudly proclaimed, "As expected of the woman my boss has his eye on, she saw through the flaw at a glance!"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect you guys to be so sensitive!"

'Click—'

Hinata felt as if a string called 'reason' had snapped in her mind.

This is a rumor!

I don't care if you're the future Seventh Hokage, or the Hokage's grandson, I'm going to kill you all.

'boom! '

Although this wasn't the first time Hinata had beaten up Naruto, she still felt incredibly good about it.

Because Hinata wasn't using Gentle Fist this time, but a real Steel Fist.

A punch landed squarely on his face, causing blood to spurt from his nose.

Naruto rolled several times on the ground before crashing into the wooden walls on either side of the road, creating a large hole.
