The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

The elder glanced at Hiashi Hyuga, who then said, "Hinata, you're doing very well..."

In fact, Hiashi Hyuga had discussed Hinata's situation with the elder more than once.

After several incidents, Hinata gained great prestige in Konoha.

Hinata is not only the heir of the Hyuga main family, but also Kakashi's disciple and a direct descendant of the Hokage lineage.

But this is actually very dangerous...

Fortunately, Hinata's personality is very unreliable (as others perceive it), but this unreliability is actually a form of protection for her.

Just like Jiraiya.

Jiraiya is very strong, but no one in the village's leadership thinks he is a threat.

Hiashi Hyuga dared to let Hinata gain prestige because he took Hinata's personality into account.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't want to use this to praise Hinata; he actually hoped Hinata could be more serious.

Hinata's expression turned serious as she earnestly pressed, "And then?"

"I know I'm great, but could you please stop praising me like this all the time?"

"It's not that I'm embarrassed!"

"But the compliments you use are so old-fashioned! Can't you be a little more original, or use some more fancy words?"

A clan that lacks innovation will inevitably be eliminated from the ninja world!

Hinata is not like Sasuke, who lacked love.

Hinata, who had been praised since childhood, was already tired of hearing such compliments.

Isn't there any real benefit at all?

Hiashi Hyuga remained silent for a moment.

He felt that given Hinata's personality, all the lecturing he had prepared for so long would be completely ineffective...

"Hinata, you must remember that money isn't everything. You are the heir to the main family, and when you're out in the world... you should do what a heir to the main family should do."

Hinata said dejectedly, "I know money isn't everything, and I'm not that greedy! I just want money, I don't expect it to be everything..."

I make a living based on my looks, how can I take care of my skin if I don't have money?

Don't let my current youthful appearance fool you; when I get older...

"never mind!"

Hiashi Hyuga and the elder exchanged a glance. They had summoned Hinata today to explain some things.

After all, the Fifth Hokage is about to take office, and there are some things that Hinata, as his successor, needs to know.

But looking at Hinata like this, what difference does it make whether she says it or not?

They're about to invite the Fifth Hokage to dinner; could their relationship be any better?

However, Hiashi Hyuga still felt he needed to hold on for a while longer...

My retirement life in my later years!

……

After leaving the study, Hinata went back to her room and took a shower; the smell of the barbecue she had eaten at noon still clung to her body.

Around 6 PM, Hinata changed her clothes and arrived at the place she had arranged to meet Tsunade.

"Big Sister, Shizune-nee! Over here!"

Besides Tsunade and Shizune, Jiraiya also brought Naruto along.

The five of them entered a restaurant together, with Hinata walking in front, looking like an arrogant nouveau riche.

Having reserved a private room, Hinata took the menu and said to the waiter beside her, "I'd like this..."

Hinata's movements were so fast that the waiter couldn't immediately see which dish she was pointing to, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what dish did you just order?"

Hinata glanced at the waiter and said with displeasure, "I want this... I want the whole page, do you understand now?"

Hinata flipped through the menu again and said casually, "I'll take this page too!"

Jiraiya's face turned green as he watched from the side. So, even though you're not paying, you can still order as much food as you want, huh?

Jiraiya's eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought to himself, "No one else should know about my agreement with Hinata, right? She herself said that she would treat us to this meal. If I leave early, won't she end up paying the bill in the end?"

"If I leave beforehand... would Hinata still dare to spread rumors everywhere?"

Thinking of this, Jiraiya chuckled to himself: "Hinata, Hinata, no matter how cunning you are, in the end you'll still fall into the hands of this sage, won't you?"

Shizune said somewhat embarrassedly, "Hinata, we've ordered so much food, are we all going to be able to finish it?"

Hinata patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry! This might not even be enough."

Tsunade looked at Hinata with a hint of interest, her tone playful: "Hinata, you seem to be quite wealthy!"

"That is!"

Hinata said generously, "I never look at whether my friends are rich or not, because none of them are as rich as me anyway. As long as they're my friends, they can just tell me if they ever run out of money, and I...I..."

Oh no! They've gone too far with their boasting!

Jiraiya smiled smugly. "Just say it," he said, "and I'll immediately ask you for money."

Hinata's eyes flickered, and she said with great confidence, "I can tell you how I survived when I had no money. You can learn from me."

"..."

Hinata, as the host, finished ordering and handed the menu to Tsunade, asking, "Big sister, is there anything else you'd like to order?"

Tsunade shook her head, glanced at Jiraiya, and said calmly, "A few more bottles of sake!"

Before the food was even served, Tsunade pulled a deck of cards from her pocket and said casually, "Want to play a few rounds?"

Chu immediately became interested: "Do you want to win money?"

Tsunade glanced at Hinata and scoffed, "Hinata, I feel like you've gotten a little too cocky lately!"

Hinata has indeed become a bit arrogant lately.

With the Hyuga clan as their backer and Tsunade as their leader, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they want in Konoha from now on?

During the day, Hinata went to register as a Chunin on her own. In order to protect Kakashi, Jiraiya told Tsunade about Hinata's past misdeeds word for word, and Naruto added fuel to the fire.

It is indeed true that Hinata fought Sasuke for six years at the Ninja Academy.

But the one who got hit was actually Sasuke.

That's terrible!

Hinata was so full after lunch that she had to beat Sasuke up to help her digest.

As for the relationship between Hinata and Kakashi, that's completely fabricated.

Although Hinata usually seems indifferent to Kakashi, she often talks about him behind his back, and many of the bad things she says about him are actually spread by Hinata.

Once the truth was revealed, Hinata's soft and cute image in Tsunade's eyes instantly crumbled...

Chapter 126 All it takes to bribe me is a meal.

Hinata, completely unaware that her public image has been shattered, is kept in the dark by everyone.

Tsunade was slightly tipsy.

Jiraiya and Naruto are both lousy men, and Shizune is always a hypocrite and quite boring.

Tsunade kept teasing Hinata, and Hinata kept acting cute and innocent, being held and squeezed by Tsunade like a doll.

So happy...

Fueled by alcohol, Jiraiya grew bolder and began to look at Tsunade with a somewhat infatuated gaze.

Tsunade knew that Jiraiya liked her, and she actually had some feelings for Jiraiya as well.

However... there were some things she simply couldn't accept.

No one wants their man to be a lecherous lecher who spends all his time in Kabukicho and shamelessly peeps into women's bathhouses...

Moreover, Jiraiya's facial features... each one is unique, and none of them submit to the others.

You should ask Jiraiya to ask himself honestly: if he were a woman, would he be willing to marry himself?

Even though she was getting old, Tsunade didn't want to just settle for anyone for the rest of her life.

What does that count for?

Are we just living together as a couple?

Having lived alone for so many years, Tsunade has grown accustomed to this solitude. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll probably continue living alone in the future.

Actually, simple friendships... are quite nice too.

……

"Goodbye, Big Sister, Shizune-nee, and Naruto!"

After the dinner, everyone went home.

Tsunade was already drunk, while Shizune hadn't been drinking; she was responsible for carrying Tsunade home.

As for Jiraiya...

His plan to get Hinata to pay the bill fell apart before it even began.

Jiraiya was made to pass out by Tsunade and left at the shop by the others, to pay the bill the next morning after he sobered up...

As Hinata walked home alone, she suddenly had a feeling that someone was watching her.

Without a doubt, it must be that guy, Hyuga Tokuma.

Although Konoha was safe and Hinata was very strong, Tokuma Hyuga still meticulously carried out his mission to protect Hinata.

Then he reported Hinata's whereabouts throughout the day, as well as the people she met and the things she experienced, to Hiashi Hyuga without missing a single detail.

I'll kill him sooner or later!
