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

In Konoha, although the Hokage and others have rules against harming fellow ninjas, the major ninja clans, especially the Hyuga and Uchiha, have their own set of rules.

Hiashi Hyuga executed his guards, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had no right to interfere.

Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a long time before finally waving goodbye.

"Fine, as long as there's no danger, let's just let them be for now."

"Yes!"

The guards, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, hurriedly left.

Watching the guards leave, Hiashi Hyuga fell into deep thought.

He hadn't expected this to happen; Bai Yun Qingye certainly had some cleverness and cunning.

He wasn't unconcerned about Hinata's current situation, but Hinata's sudden outburst was due to Shirakumo Aoba, so it would be best for Shirakumo Aoba to guide her now.

That way, perhaps the next time Hinata takes action, she won't have too many concerns due to her personality.

He had previously agreed to let Hinata meet with Shirakumo Aoba and even gave Shirakumo Aoba 100,000 ryo, hoping that the other party would change Hinata's mind.

In retrospect, this idea was indeed sound.

Not only did Shirokumo Aoba potentially change Hinata's personality, but he also discovered Hinata's talents, directly exceeding expectations in completing the mission.

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly sighed again, as he remembered something else.

He was very disappointed with Hinata's performance, which is why he planned to have another child, who is now Hanabi.

However, according to the rules of the Hyuga clan, only one of them can inherit the main family.

The remaining person will be caged like a bird on their third birthday, thus separating from the family and their fates will diverge from then on.

But now Hinata has suddenly shown amazing talent, so Hanabi might end up being caged like a bird.

The sisters' close relationship might turn into something like his and Hizashi's...

Hyuga Hiashi thought of Hyuga Hizashi and couldn't help but look melancholy.

Even the best of brothers will drift apart once they have a caged bird, eventually becoming master and servant.

He had considered abolishing it, but he couldn't; it was a rule that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Moreover, the original intention of caged birds was indeed to protect the whites of their eyes from being seen, but now...

It has become a means of maintaining the authority of the main branch of the family.

The elders of the main family will absolutely not give up the rights that come with this status.

If Hinata or Hanabi are not given the Caged Bird Seito, not only will the main family disagree, but the branch family will also disagree.

People are not worried about scarcity but about inequality. Why should they all be caged birds while the clan chief's daughter has special privileges?

"Baiyun Qingye, I hope you can really give me a surprise."

Now, Hiashi Hyuga can only let things take their course and wait and see.

Shirakumo Aoba has not yet truly shown the potential to become Hokage.

-

the other side.

Shirokumo Aoba has already carried Hinata home.

"Qingye, although you have good talent, you can't do things that violate village rules."

Just as Baiyun Yeshan was about to leave, he saw Baiyun Qingye carrying a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

His expression became very strange.

Bai Yun Qingye couldn't help but roll her eyes and said irritably, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

“I brought her back to rest. Hinata fainted because she had exhausted too much chakra. I can’t just leave her outside.”

Shirokumo Hayama checked Hinata's physical condition with some skepticism and found that it was indeed as Shirokumo Aoba had said.

He felt much more at ease, and then noticed the people secretly watching him, who were probably the guards responsible for Hinata's safety.

Once he was sure his nephew hadn't gone astray, he left with peace of mind.

Chapter 27, consider it all for my sake...

Shirokumo Aoba placed Hinata on the sofa, turned on the heater, and wrapped her up tightly in a blanket.

To avoid catching a cold.

Then he sat down and looked at the medical ninjutsu books that he had brought from Skui.

It contains knowledge about various acupoints and chakra meridians inside the human body. Without the Byakugan to observe, he would have to memorize these things himself.

Time fell silent.

The girl lay flat on the sofa, fast asleep, while the boy sat beside her, intently flipping through a book.

The air was filled with the rustling sound of pages turning and the warmth emanating from the fireplace.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually darkened.

Hinata, who had been sleeping quietly, slowly began to react.

"Well--"

As if having a nightmare, Hinata's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her lips pursed, and a low moan escaped her throat.

This was the first time Shirokumo Aoba had encountered such a situation. He put down the book in his hand, looked at Hinata who seemed very uncomfortable, and frowned as he pondered.

"Qing... Ye Jun..."

Hinata, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly called out the name of Shirakumo Aoba.

Baiyun Qingye answered subconsciously.

"I'm here."

Hinata's delicate eyebrows immediately calmed down.

Bai Yunqingye's lips twitched as she watched this scene.

Just as he was about to continue reading, he suddenly noticed Hinata's eyelids twitch, and it seemed she was about to wake up.

Baiyun Qingye simply stopped reading and moved closer to Hinata, observing her delicate, chubby face that was incredibly cute.

As the eyelashes trembled slightly.

Hinata slowly opened her eyes, which were as white as snowflakes and untouched by any dust.

The eyes are not entirely white and terrifying; there is a clear distinction between the whites of the eyes and the eyeballs.

Quite stunning.

The moment Hinata opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Shirakumo Aoba, who was standing right in front of her, scrutinizing her.

Her hazy eyes still held a clear, innocent look.

For a moment, I was stunned.

"You're awake."

"You have very beautiful eyes."

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile.

These words brought Hinata back to her senses, and she opened her mouth slightly.

Her face was visibly flushed, and even in the warm room during the cold winter, faint steam was still rising.

Is this the Steam Girl?

"Gurgle—"

A sudden sound rang out in the room, and Hinata quickly burrowed her head under the blanket.

It seemed as if she was trying to suffocate herself with the blanket, but the wisps of steam rising up suggested that this was unlikely.

Seeing this, Shirokumo Aoba knew that Hinata wouldn't be able to recover anytime soon.

"You must have used up a lot of chakra just now by activating the Byakugan. You should rest for a while. I'll go prepare some food for you."

Shirokumo Aoba stood up from the sofa and went into the kitchen. Doing anything else was too slow, so he decided to make a few bowls of noodles for Hinata to tide her over.

After a long silence, Hinata slowly crawled out from under the blanket after realizing that Shirokumo Aoba was not around.

Peeking out with half his head, he secretly peeked at Baiyun Qingye, who was cooking noodles in the kitchen.

Seeing the other person's focused expression, Hinata suddenly recalled the image of Shirokumo Aoba spitting blood.

Hinata's face turned pale, and she immediately threw off the blanket and ran towards the kitchen.

"Ao...Aoba-kun?"

"Ok?"

Shirokumo Aoba was surprised that Hinata had come running over so quickly. Seeing her flustered appearance, he wondered what had happened.

He asked with a smile, "What's wrong? The ramen will be ready soon."

Hinata shook her head and asked earnestly, "Aoba-kun, are your injuries alright?"

"hurt?"

Bai Yunqingye was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she had pretended to be injured during the fight earlier, and said.

"My injuries have long since healed, all thanks to you, Hinata. If you hadn't driven them away, I might have been injured even more severely."

"As a token of my gratitude, let me offer you a piece of char siu."

As she spoke, Shirokumo Aoba picked up a piece of char siu from the prepared char siu and held it to Hinata's mouth.

"Thank... thank you..."

Hinata's face flushed as she bit into the char siu, and then her eyes lit up.

"Delicious!"
