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

"This... this kid is ours."

The chubby boy spoke a little more fluently, "You three go and teach that little girl a lesson."

"Yes, boss."

Three smaller boys surrounded Hinata, while the others surrounded Shirakumo Aoba.

"Ao...Aoba-kun!?"

Hinata's voice was urgent, but she was also a little scared when she saw the three boys blocking her way.

A chaotic fight broke out, but everyone was afraid of running into Shirokumo Aoba, except for Hinata, who was just an observer and couldn't see it.

"Aoba-kun! No!"

Hinata couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

She saw Bai Yunqingye accidentally get hit on the side of her face and vomit a lot of blood.

"no, do not want……"

Hinata's eyes were already brimming with tears.

"It's all...it's all my fault, I can't do anything..."

Tears welled up in Hinata's eyes, and her pure white pupils slowly lost their luster.

Password correct —

The next moment, the meridians near her eye sockets suddenly bulged, chakra rapidly condensed, and a power surged from Hinata's body, rushing straight to her eyeballs.

Roll your eyes!

open!

Hinata suddenly turned her head, her eyes lifeless yet incredibly ferocious as she looked at the three boys who had bullied her.

The three boys were already scared, and now they were so frightened that they froze on the spot.

Hinata: Has turned evil.

Her body suddenly lurched forward.

The Gentle Fist techniques that Hyuga Hiashi had taught her on a daily basis came to mind one by one.

She struck out with both palms, left and right.

The two terrified boys were immediately shot in the abdomen.

The immense force caused them to instinctively bend over, then collapse, unable to rise again.

Hinata Hyuga spun around and struck out with her right palm again.

The remaining boy also fell into a baby-like sleep.

This scene left not only the older boys who were still throwing matches dumbfounded, but even Shirakumo Aoba was stunned.

Is this... a sign of him turning evil?

While the others were still in a daze, Hinata had already rushed up.

Aoba-kun, she will protect him!

In just a short while, the two boys who were closest to Hinata were easily dealt with by Hinata with a single palm strike each.

The chubby boy only realized what was happening at that moment.

His expression turned utterly terrified.

This isn't what we agreed on. Those guys lying on the ground don't seem to be faking it.

"Help...help me..."

The chubby boy was already terrified.

He scrambled and crawled away, ignoring his younger brother.

With one of them taking the lead, the rest of the conscious people also fled.

Baiyun and Qingye didn't even glance at them.

They were just tools anyway; their task was already accomplished.

Seeing that Hinata had also arrived in front of him, Shirakumo Aoba quickly swallowed the ketchup in his mouth.

To avoid revealing any weaknesses and getting beaten up by the corrupted Hinata.

Hinata simply stood quietly in front of him, her head bowed, without saying a word.

After a while, Hinata still didn't react, just kept her head down.

"Hinata?"

Baiyun Qingye tentatively called out to the other party.

Still no response.

Baiyun Qingye patted the other person's shoulder again, and this time there was a response.

Tiny Hinata collapsed directly into his arms.

With his eyes tightly closed, he slept very peacefully.

"This……"

Baiyun Qingye was bewildered. How could someone fall asleep while fighting?

Could it be that activating the Byakugan consumed a lot of chakra?

After wiping away Hinata's tears.

Shirokumo Aoba could only carry the unconscious Hinata home first.

Chapter 26 Let Nature Take Its Course

Watching Shirokumo Aoba carry the unconscious Hinata away.

The guards who were secretly protecting Hinata hesitated for a moment, but still did not step forward to stop her.

After discussing the matter in secret, one of them left the group and returned to the Hyuga clan's territory.

The guard went straight to Hiashi Hyuga's study.

He raised his hand, knocked on the door, and said respectfully, "Chief, I have something to report."

A few seconds later, he received a reply from Hiashi Hyuga.

The guard pushed open the door, stood in the doorway, and knelt down on one knee.

As a guard, he couldn't just rush into the clan chief's study.

Hiashi Hyuga sat at the tea table, slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

He looked at the guard, his voice tinged with surprise and anticipation, and asked, "You're back so soon? Did something happen to Hinata?"

"Yes."

The guard lowered his head and quickly answered.

"Hinata has just activated her Byakugan."

The guard took a deep breath and said.

"What did you say?"

Hiashi Hyuga paused slightly in his teacup, causing several water droplets to ripple out.

"It was something we all witnessed with our own eyes, and after activating her Byakugan, Hinata-sama's demeanor... also changed somewhat."

The guard said with a serious expression.

What exactly is the situation?

Hiashi Hyuga placed the teacup on the table, stood up abruptly, walked over to the guard, and asked.

He's not in the mood for tea anymore.

The guard immediately recounted what had just happened.

After hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga almost lost his composure.

Isn't it obvious at a glance that this was a scheme orchestrated by Shirokumo Aoba? How come Hinata didn't notice?

And wouldn't that make his daughter's feelings for Bai Yunqingye even stronger?

As a father figure, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly felt a little regretful for letting Hinata get to know Aoba Shirakumo so quickly.

But as a clan leader, he had to thank the other party.

According to the guard's account, Hinata activated her Byakugan and knocked several children unconscious. Her personality probably really did change.

In retrospect, Hyuga Hiashi really does have to thank Shirakumo Aoba.

Moreover, this allowed Hiashi Hyuga to discover Hinata's true potential.

The fact that Hinata Hyuga awakened her Byakugan at the age of five shows that her talent is not only not bad, but also quite outstanding.

Even Hyuga Neji, who is hailed as the greatest genius of the Hyuga clan, did not awaken his Sharingan until he was six years old.

Hinata Hyuga's personality has hindered her ability to perform, but with Aoba Shirakumo's help, perhaps Hinata can change a lot.

"Ugh--"

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but sigh with a touch of melancholy, and asked, "You said Hinata fainted, so how is she now?"

"...Then Shirokumo Aoba carried Hinata back to his own home. We don't know the specifics...it's probably because he suddenly activated his Byakugan and had a big emotional shock, which consumed a lot of chakra."

The guard hesitated slightly when answering, unsure if the clan leader would be angry.

"So, you didn't bring Hinata back when she was unconscious, and instead let that brat Shirakumo Aoba take her away?"

Hiashi Hyuga stared intently at the guard, his tone calm and collected, yet it sent a shiver down the guard's spine.

He quickly said, "Clan Chief, should we go and bring Hinata back?"

The guard worried that if he spoke too slowly, he would be riddled with eight shurikens in his back the next day and commit suicide.
