I feel like slapping myself right now.

Shenyue Xingyun had already taught her a lesson after she uttered the arrogant statement "that's all" long ago, so why did she forget it just now?

In the struggle, she turned around with all her might, not intending to fight back and win, but to say a few soft words to get the other party to take control.

Then, she saw the anger in Shenyue Xingyun's eyes.

'Who offended this guy?' This thought crossed her mind, and Kushina Uzumaki sighed bitterly.

'That's enough, that's enough.'

'Out of respect for his dedication to teaching Naruto, I'll suffer a bit myself.'

'Unwavering perseverance and fearlessness in the face of powerful enemies—that too is my...way of the ninja!'

Chapter 493 Hinata's Banquet

"Nebula, I miss you so much." At Konoha Hospital, Rin Nohara made no attempt to hide her feelings.

"Even when I'm at work."

Shen Yue Xingyun's gaze was gentle: "I've been too busy lately with so many important matters to attend to. You see, I came to see you as soon as I had a spare moment."

Under the gentle gaze of Shingetsu Seiun, Nohara Rin felt like a snowman, almost melting under that gaze. She turned her head away and whispered, "You'd better be."

Shenyue Xingyun: "How could that be false? I never lie to you."

How are you adjusting to your new job?

"It's alright," Nohara Rin replied. "The hospital is busier than when I'm on missions, but there's no danger, and my working hours are fixed."

"My colleagues are very kind to me."

"Dean Rinko is also a very good person."

Shenyue Xingyun's eyes flashed: "Whatever makes you happy."

"Lin, what time do you get off work tonight? I have a surprise for you."

"Really?" Nohara Rin looked up, her eyes sparkling. She said, "Perfect timing! I just bought a new camera, it's much better than the old one, so we can take pictures again tonight."

“But…” she changed the subject, “I’m on duty tonight, so I might have to leave a little later.”

Shingetsu Nebula: "Is that so? Can't we switch shifts?"

Nohara Rin: "That's not really appropriate... I've only been here a short time, how could I trouble them?"

Shenyue Xingyun smiled and said, "Leave it to me, it's a piece of cake."

"I'll go see your dean; I'm sure she'll give me that kind of face."

Nohara Rin had no suspicions; given Shingetsu Seiun's status in Konoha, taking leave would be easy for him.

"Then speak nicely, don't be too forceful, the dean is a very nice person."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Don't worry, I'll be careful with my attitude."

Shenyue Xingyun lied.

He didn't follow Nohara Rin's instructions at all; on the contrary, his attitude was very tough.

Very tough!

After a verbal exchange, Shenyue Xingyun finally left.

Rin Nohara, who had been waiting anxiously, asked with concern when he returned, "How did it go?"

"You didn't scare the dean, did you?"

Shenyue Xingyun smiled gently: "What's there to worry about if I take action?"

"It's settled. You can leave work on time, or come back a little later tomorrow."

Nohara Rin looked delighted: "Really? The Dean really said that?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Yes, she said she happened to be free at home, so she covered your night shift. She also said that at your age, your love life is the most important thing, and you can put your work aside for now."

In reality, what Rinko said was: Whatever you say, I'll listen to you.

You're really going to be the death of me!

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Shinzuki Seiun led Nohara Rin out of Konoha Hospital.

As I walked down the street, I bumped into an acquaintance.

Obito Uchiha.

The three looked at each other, and for a moment they were silent, a slightly awkward atmosphere rising between them.

Not saying anything isn't good either, since Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha were once close teammates.

"What a coincidence," Obito Uchiha said with a dry laugh. "You guys are... going out for dinner?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Hmm, Lin is a little hungry and wants to eat something nutritious."

The words were well-intentioned, but when Obito Uchiha looked at Rin Nohara's suddenly flushed face, his expression was as if he had just eaten some flavored soybean paste.

"Crack~" The strange sound came from Obito Uchiha's mouth.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Um, let's stop talking now, we're leaving."

"I still need to teach Sasuke his training tonight."

As Shingetsu Seiun spoke, he pulled Nohara Rin away, and Uchiha Obito's gaze lingered on their retreating figures until they disappeared from sight.

"Sasuke..."

Obito Uchiha muttered to himself, a handsome image appearing in his mind.

A descendant of the former clan leader, and a renowned prodigy at the ninja academy.

Obito Uchiha muttered to himself, "Hmph, what's so great about it?"

"Just a brat."

"Under my leadership, the Uchiha clan will surely produce even more geniuses, more powerful and more outstanding than Sasuke!"

Just you wait and see!

……

the next morning.

Nohara Rin put away her camera and struggled to get up for work.

Shingetsu Seiun slept in late, and around noon he tidied up and arrived at the Hyuga clan's territory.

Hyuga Hizashi invited him to his house for drinks today, and Shingetsu Seiun, thinking that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, didn't refuse.

Upon arrival, they discovered that not only Hyuga Hizashi was drinking, but also the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.

"Lord Nebula, you and Hizashi are drinking. Would it be alright if I joined you with a cup?" Hyuga Hiashi said jokingly.

Shenyue Xingyun, of course, wouldn't refuse the other party's request: "Together, together."

Apart from the three of them, there was no one else. Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata were in charge of serving drinks and dishes, while the three of them chatted about trivial matters together.

While pouring the wine, Shingetsu Seiun inquired about Hyuga Neji's studies.

"Neji, are you having fun at school?"

"I heard you did well in your studies."

Neji Hyuga answered obediently, "Uncle Seiun, I'm doing well at school."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "That's good. Study hard and don't fall behind in your cultivation."

"Only those with good grades will receive a graduation gift upon graduation."

Upon hearing this, Neji Hyuga's eyes lit up with hope: "Uncle Seiun, I will definitely try my best."

Listening to their conversation, Hyuga Hizashi looked at the gleam in Hyuga Neji's eyes and smiled broadly.

A complex look flashed across Hiashi Hyuga's eyes. He glanced at Hinata Hyuga, who was quietly arranging the dishes on the table, completely oblivious to their conversation.

Hiashi Hyuga sighed softly to himself.

He turned his head and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Lord Nebula, it seems you really like children."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Not bad."

"It's mainly Neji and my feelings."

"I hope my son will be this outstanding in the future."

Hiashi Hyuga smiled, looked at Hinata Hyuga, and said, "What if it's a daughter?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "...Son is still the best, he's so easy to take care of."

"Don't worry about being tricked by that brat."

Hiashi Hyuga laughed heartily, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

This gathering was actually initiated by him at Hyuga Hizashi's behest, with a simple purpose—to let Shingetsu Seiun meet Hyuga Hinata and create an opportunity.

If Hinata's talent catches the other party's eye, it would be best to discuss a master-disciple relationship with them. If not, at least becoming acquainted with them would be acceptable.

But now, Shingetsu Seiun's answer left him speechless. Hinata Hyuga was like a little block of wood, doing nothing but serving dishes.

The three chatted and drank, and while the food was being served, Hinata left the room and stood quietly in the corridor, lost in thought.

She was lost in thought when a little girl passing by saw her and asked, "Sister, what are you doing standing here?"

Hinata Hyuga then noticed the girl approaching. She was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing who it was.

"Fireworks, it's you."

“My father was inside entertaining guests, so he asked me to help serve some chives.”

Looking at Hinata Hyuga's reluctant face, Hanabi asked in confusion, "You don't want to?"

Hinata lowered her head, touched her fingertips together, and said, "No... it's just that I have something to do, and Father won't let me leave."

Hinata Hanabi asked in confusion, "Why won't we let you leave?"

"What is it?"
