Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Bai Yunyeshan's brain was completely blank right now. Since he had stopped the three of them on a whim, he didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a while, he decided to say some good things about Bai Yun Qingye in front of these three people who might become his future in-laws.

"Speaking of which, my Aoba's talent is quite good, much better than mine was back then. In my opinion, even if Jonin Hatake were this age, he might not be a match for my Aoba."

"Really?"

Baiyun Yeshan's self-praising remarks piqued the interest of the other three people present.

The kids in their family often mention Shirokumo Aoba, but it's all just casual play, and they never talk about anything related to ninjas.

Only Tenten's dad knows a little about it, since Shirokumo Aoba is Tenten's throwing technique teacher, but he himself is not a ninja and only knows that Shirokumo Aoba's throwing technique is powerful, but he doesn't know anything else.

But now that Kakashi has been mentioned, they have to take a serious look at the little boy their daughters have been longing for day and night.

Not only did he set the record for the fastest completion of the Ninja Academy, but he was also the youngest Jonin in Konoha. He has also made countless contributions on the battlefield and is currently the number one ranked Jonin in Konoha.

Most importantly, the other party also has the identity of Minato's team, and is someone who has the opportunity to become Hokage.

The fact that Shirakumo Hayama dared to say that Shirakumo Aoba was no weaker than Kakashi, coupled with the latter's meticulous personality, surprised all three of them.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the three people's faces, Baiyun Yeshan couldn't help but smirk slightly.

"Since Aoba extracted his chakra a year ago, his chakra reserves are now comparable to those of an average genin."

In the ninja world, chakra is the most direct factor in judging a ninja's talent. At five years old, he was no weaker than a genin, a talent that the three acknowledged.

"Furthermore, I have also started teaching Aoba Vacuum Sword in recent days, and he has begun to grasp the basics of chakra nature transformation."

"As long as he gets his chakra level up, Aoba's strength will soon surpass that of a typical Chunin. Before long, Aoba might even break Hatake's Jonin record."

Suddenly, all three of them fell silent.

If Bai Yunqingye truly possesses such talent, coupled with the fact that the other party is a commoner and their daughter is quite fond of him, then he would indeed be a very suitable son-in-law candidate.

But now, the biggest problem still lies before them.

The three of them exchanged glances...

Chapter 20 Hiashi Hyuga's Considerations

If Shirokumo Aoba's talent is really as outstanding as Shirokumo Hayama said.

They certainly wouldn't object to their daughter being on good terms with the other party.

Unlike the Hyuga clan, the Yamanaka clan does not have a rule prohibiting family members from marrying outsiders; their marriages have always been free.

As for the Haruno clan, although they are also a ninja clan with a clan crest, they are not much different from ordinary people now.

As for the Tenten family, it goes without saying that they don't have a single ninja in their household; they're simply rich.

Therefore, none of them would mind having a son-in-law with exceptional abilities.

But the problem now is that this brat isn't just messing with one girl; he's planning to kidnap all three families' daughters.

Let alone the fact that he's just a kid with a bit of talent, even if that guy were the Hokage, they'd still show him whether their swords are sharp or not.

For a moment, none of them knew how to begin.

"It seems that Jonin Shirokumo has a good nephew."

Just as the atmosphere at the four-person table became somewhat quiet, another voice suddenly rang out.

Bai Yunyeshan also looked at the person who came, his lips twitching violently. He had never felt like cursing so much before.

The three, including Yamanaka Inoichi, were somewhat surprised to see the newcomers.

"Hyuga clan leader, I never expected to meet you here."

Yamanaka Inoichi also got up and greeted the other party. Because of work, Yamanaka Inoichi would often seek out the other party for cooperation.

In addition, the other party's identity was indeed different from theirs. The Hyuga clan was a true major clan in Konoha, and Hyuga Hiashi was the clan head. The ninjas from the same village treated him with great respect.

Hiashi Hyuga nodded in response to Inoichi Yamanaka, but remained expressionless with downturned lips, giving off an air of quiet authority.

"You wouldn't mind having an extra pair of chopsticks, would you?"

Hyuga Hiashi looked at Shirakumo Hayama and, although he seemed to be looking for trouble, still politely asked a question.

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

Baiyun Yeshan awkwardly got up and brought over a bowl, chopsticks, and a stool.

Then, amidst the strange looks from the other three, Hiashi Hyuga sat down directly.

They didn't know why Hiashi Hyuga had come to sit at their table, and judging from Hayama Shirakumo's expression, he seemed a little uneasy.

Could it be...?

Another silence fell. They had wanted to ask for more details, but with Hiashi Hyuga approaching, they were too embarrassed to speak.

Hiashi Hyuga himself sat down and silently sipped his tea without saying a word.

"Clan Head Hyuga, the four of us have gathered here for some private matters among the juniors. May I ask who you are...?"

Yamanaka Inoichi was the first to ask, otherwise the little shop would have to close down if things continued like this.

Hiashi Hyuga only heard from his guards that he saw the four of them gathered together here.

This was related to his daughter, so he came over to check on her. He didn't expect to hear Baiyun Yeshan praising his nephew like this, which gave rise to some unusual thoughts in his mind.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"A few days ago, my daughter got separated from the family guards and was almost bullied by some children. She was saved by the nephew of the White Cloud Ninja."

The four people present suddenly realized what the other party meant; they were most likely there to express their gratitude.

However, Hiashi Hyuga's next words made them abandon this idea again; the other party was still here to cause trouble.

"But my little girl has lost her appetite since she came back. Even when she's practicing Soft Fist, she keeps getting distracted. As her father, I'm very distressed."

Although Hiashi Hyuga finished speaking with a blank expression, everyone could feel the coldness in his eyes.

Baiyun Yeshan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"This……"

"No need to be nervous, Shirakumo Jonin."

Hiashi Hyuga interrupted Hayama Shirakumo and continued.

"I want to know if Shirokumo Aoba is really as outstanding as you say, and has the potential to become Hokage?"

Baiyun Yeshan, Yamanaka Haiyi, and the others were all startled upon hearing this, and immediately understood what the other party meant.

But Baiyun Yeshan wouldn't boast, and told the truth.

"I wouldn't say he has the potential to become Hokage, but I'm certain that his future achievements will far surpass mine."

The succession of the Hokage position is far more complex than it appears to the average person.

It seems that only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage, but if you don't have an impressive resume, how can you stand in front of everyone?

The group of people naturally understood the problem.

However, Shirakumo Hayama's guarantee also revealed the truth to Hyuga Hiashi.

He put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Baiyun Yeshan.

“If Shirokumo Aoba can become Hokage… no, as long as he can become a high-ranking member of the village, then as the head of the Hyuga clan and also as a father, I will not object to his relationship with Hinata.”

The four were dumbfounded, as were the Hyuga clan guards following behind Hyuga Hiashi.

They wondered if the head of the Hyuga clan had gone mad.

Hiashi Hyuga also had his own considerations.

With the birth of his youngest daughter, Hanabi, he was forced to confront a problem.

That's a caged bird.

According to the rules of the Hyuga clan, if things continue like this, one of Hinata and Hanabi will inevitably be imprisoned as a caged bird.

Even with his father, the clan chief, he could not defy this rule that had lasted for hundreds of years.

But if external forces intervene, things are completely different.

The elders of the Zong family are a bunch of bullies who only know how to pick on the weak and fear the strong, and who choose to protect themselves when faced with major events.

As long as Baiyun Qingye is strong enough and has a high enough status in the future, if the two of them can really get together, they won't dare to utter a single word about being caged birds.

Given Hiashi Hyuga's current strength and status as clan leader, helping Hinata reach adulthood shouldn't be a problem...

-

When Yamanaka Inoichi returned home, his brows were still furrowed.

He was clearly thinking about something.

"Haiyi, what happened?"

Seeing Yamanaka Inoichi's furrowed brows, Yamanaka Rino couldn't help but ask him a question out of concern.

Although she's not very capable, she might still be able to help.

Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head and looked at Ino, who was also kneeling to the side, pruning the flowers and plants. Ino looked so aggrieved that her little mouth was practically sticking out of a soy sauce bottle.

He couldn't help but walk over and affectionately pat the other's head.

Ino felt her father's doting affection, looked up at him with a pitiful expression, her big eyes filled with tears.

"Dad, Mom said she won't let me go out to play until I start school."

"You silly girl, you're still acting all wronged. If I hadn't come to see you today, were you planning to spend the night at someone else's house?"

Rino Yamanaka reached out to grab Ino's ear. It wasn't that she objected to her daughter playing with boys, but at only five years old, she was already staying out all night at boys' houses. If this wasn't addressed, things would get out of control.

"Oh no! Daddy, save me!"

Ino immediately got up and hid behind Yamanaka Inoichi.

The mother and daughter then started playing hide-and-seek around Yamanaka Inoichi.

Watching the mother and daughter playfully bickering, Yamanaka Inoichi's brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Yamanaka Inoichi grabbed one of them with each hand, completely blocking their movements.
