Inside the Hyuga clan.
A number of people who were attending to their work stopped when Hinata entered through the gate and saw her sister Hanabi playing by herself in the mansion's small grounds.
When Hinata's uncle from the side family saw her approaching, he came to give her a smiley welcome, and her father also arrived to give her a pat on the head.
"Good timing, Hinata; today an official from the magistrate is here to greet our family, so I wish for you to join us too."
Hiashi Hyuga smiled looking at his shy daughter, who did not possess much talent in her bloodline, so he allowed her to join the shinobi rank with her hard work.
Hiashi's only concern was Hinata's shy behavior and nature, which made her unsuitable for Shinobi ranks even though she also lived up to his trust and worked extremely hard.
So, as a father, he was thinking of letting her marry a high-level official, which would allow her a new kind of freedom and choices in the future.
Although it will depend on Hinata's decision, Hiashi did not consider coercing her into doing it.
"Hmm, I will be there, father." Hinata felt really uncomfortable, but when she felt a little powerless about it, a certain smiling figure came into her mind, making all of her worry vanish.
'Naruto-kun.' Hanabi, who had noticed a change in her big sister's expression, had also entered her room as Hinata walked toward it while muttering to herself.
"Big sister, there's something wrong." When Hinata noticed Hanabi standing by her side and asking a question, she sensed her younger sister's worry.
This made Hinata smile as she considered how nobody else would ask Naruto a question like this. Her resolve was strengthened even further as she sat on Hanabi's knee, grinned, and shook Hanabi.
"Big sister is fine, Hanabi; she just remembered a friend who didn't have family and realized how fortunate I am to have such a sweet sister with me."
Hinata's words made Hanabi smile as she nodded and walked out of the Hinata room to allow her sister to get changed for greeting the guests.
Hinata, who had changed into a beautiful Kimono dress, emerged after a few minutes, and Hanabi, who saw her sister's beautiful appearance, smiled.
'Big sis, you are a really beautiful person, I hope you can start wearing clothes that suit you the best,' Hanabi says.
Muttering to herself, Hanabi hugged her sister, who is like an idol to her, and started to chat with her about what she had been doing for the whole day.
As she also pestered her to tell her what happened today around Hinata, given that Ninja Academy is like a dream place, she has always wanted to join along with her sister.
The main entrance of the Hyuga clan was covered with a mass of people who came to join a small banquet for the Hyuga clan, where the ringing sound of laughter and chatter continued inside Hinata courtyard.
Today, a high official from the Nation of Fire came to greet Hiashi Hyuga and his relative, one of Konoha's three great family clans.
So all the members of the Side Branch were pouting to greet them, including Neji Hyuga, who had returned from a mission and was resting for a while when a messenger told him to attend the banquet.
"He just wanted to demonstrate the superiority of the Main family to the other higher official of the Fire Nation, so he asked me to be present."
Although Hiashi's intention in calling Neji was to show respect for Neji's deceased father and his brother's son, it was also to show respect for Neji, whose mind had been clouded by Hiashi's judgment and sense of inferiority.
Whereas Hiashi's goodwill always works against him, no one knew how Hiashi's goodwill would look in Neji's eyes if he did not open his heart.
On the other hand, Naruto, who had returned home, was settling his belongings as he called out to the system panel and examined the other two rewards that had been given to him.
[_System_]
[_Reward Section_] [_Medicinal Recipe for Bloodline Refining_] + [The Gentle-Hard Fist Martial Art] + [_upto10% Increase in any elemental affinity (Purple Grade Reward)_]
For the medicinal recipe, the herbs given were legit, and it was something Naruto read in his library and knew that some of them were cheap in cost, but few of them were very costly.
However, he was explaining to Sasuke that in order to split the cost, he needed to do so.
However, the opposing party asserted that he did not require Naruto to cover the cost because he had a sizable cash reserve thanks to family savings.
The second reward, a Taijutsu that Naruto had been wanting to learn for a long time, was not used by Naruto, on the other hand.
The third reward was an increase in affinity, and Naruto requested his status in exchange.
Name:- Naruto Uzumaki
Age:- 10 years and 11 months.
Shinobi Rank: Shinobi in Training [Str:5-7; Agi:7-8; Vita:2-5; Chak:10-12;].
Affinity: Wind 5% Water 1% lightning 0% Earth 0%.........
Skills: Freestyle Parkour (Mastered); Transformation Jutsu (Mastered); Clone Jutsu (Beginner); Substitution Jutsu (Mastered);
Any affinity would increase up to 10% and no more with the third reward.
Because of this, Naruto decided that using it to increase his Lightning affinity from 0% to 10% would be more effective than using it to increase his Wind and Water affinity, which are already 5% and 1% respectively.
When Naruto decided to increase the affinity, he felt lightheaded because his entire world had suddenly begun to spin.
However, thanks to Naruto's spiritual sense, he was able to sit on his bed before his consciousness began to fade.
Before falling asleep and sleeping on his bed, Naruto did not have much opportunity to prepare food for himself.
However, tiny adjustments began to be made to Naruto's body, and Kurama, who was still awake, opened his eyes when he felt the adjustments.
"This kid, what is he up to again?" Kurama muttered under his breath as he tried to smile and considered sending a wisp of chakra to assist him.
"Be grateful of it brat, I will help you with the regeneration, but your chakra is being in turmoil, so wake up or you will die along with me."
