Whitebeard's sudden words left Hinata stunned.
Naruto's Pops, does he want to meet my father?
My father said today that he doesn't want me to get close to Naruto.
If I want to become a family with Naruto, my father... he definitely won't agree, right?
But...
If Naruto's Pops communicates well with my father, maybe my father will change his mind?
Hinata naively believes that her father doesn't want her to get close to Naruto because Naruto has a bad reputation in Konohagakure.
But in her mind, Naruto is different from the rumors.
Naruto is clearly a very good person!
He is not a "demon fox"!
The time to test courage has come.
Should I obey my father's words, refuse to become a family with Naruto, and stay away from Naruto?
Or should I bring Naruto and his Pops back to the Hyuga clan and let Naruto's Pops communicate with my father?
Hinata is caught in a dilemma.
In the final analysis, it is Hinata's budding admiration for Naruto that makes her unable to resist the temptation to "become a family with Naruto".
Iruka: "...."
Sasuke: "....."
Such a reaction really makes it hard to see her thoughts.
Iruka didn't expect Whitebeard want to snatch a daughter from the Hyuga clan, and the this is that Hinata actually hesitated.
Does she really intend to join the Whitebeard Pirates?
Is it because the head of the Hyuga clan really doesn't care about his daughter, and then Hinata finally rises a bit rebellious?
Or...
Iruka couldn't help but look at Naruto next to him.
He really wanted to ask Naruto... what kind of love potion did you give Hinata to make her look like this?
Fortunately, these are just two children.
If these two were adults... Iruka might have to make up a restricted drama in his mind.
He doesn't quite understand Hinata's mind.
This is too "absurd"!
Sasuke's thoughts are different from Iruka's. He doesn't focus on how Hinata's thought about Naruto, but on whether Hinata will make rapid progress if she recognizes Whitebeard as her father, just like Naruto's rapid progress?
Wouldn't that mean that in the ninja school, their Uchiha clan would be suppressed by the Hyuga clan?
After Sasuke thought about this.
His eyes widened.
In his eyes, Hinata is like a vase in the ninja clan. Not only is she weak, but she also hesitates and turns her arms out.
Their Uchiha clan would never have such a person!
But it's Hinata who he looks down on a bit...
What if one day she is better than him?
Sasuke can't accept it!
"That's it!" Before Hinata could answer, Naruto suddenly clenched his fists and said to Hinata: "After we finish eating ramen, we will go to your house! How can a father let his daughter go hungry? Is he truly taking on the responsibility of being a father seriously?"
Naruto's tone became more and more firm, looking at Hinata's hesitant state, he was a bit impatient: "My biological father is the kind of person who just let go after giving birth to me. I absolutely don't recognize such an irresponsible father!"
"The main thing is that I haven't seen him once since I was a child, otherwise I would definitely say these words in front of him, letting him know that he is nothing in my eyes!"
"And you can see your biological father every day! Can't you muster the courage to argue with him?"
Naruto wished he could turn into Hyuga Hinata.
Then run back to the Hyuga clan's residence, and question Hyuga Hiashi face to face: Is the affection between father and daughter important? Or is it important who is high and who is low between the main family and the branch family?
If Hinata's father chose the latter, he would definitely break away from the Hyuga clan. Naruto believed that those who harbored such thoughts were the ones who truly lacked magnanimity. Naruto's interpretation of the "Will of Fire" was that the fallen leaves nourish the new ones, not that the fallen leaves tower above the new ones, pointing fingers and using them for their own purposes. At this moment, far away at the Hyuga clan's residence, Hiashi had no idea...
He's almost been blacklisted by Naruto.
.......
An hour and a half later, the sky was gradually darkening. Iruka walked home with a complex expression. He was holding a shriveled wallet in his hand, which was completely empty, not even a coin left.
In his other hand, he was holding an IOU. "I owe Teuchi 3000 Ryo..."
Iruka felt like crying but had no tears.
He was shocked to discover that among Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata, only Sasuke was the one who stubbornly ate a lot. After forcibly eating four bowls of ramen, Sasuke's face turned green and red alternately, and he ran to the bathroom to vomit.
On the contrary, Naruto and Hinata, they really finished eating! They even ate all the food that Sasuke couldn't finish! Iruka was dumbfounded on the spot.
Even as an adult, he could only eat three or four bowls at most, and he would be very full. Naruto and Hinata were not giants like Whitebeard, how could their stomachs hold so much food?
Iruka didn't understand!
"Should I report to Hokage-sama about Whitebeard going to the Hyuga clan?" Iruka looked in the direction of the Hokage building, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "But at this point, Hokage-sama should have stopped dealing with government affairs, right?"
......
On the other side, Sasuke went home alone.
"My stomach... it hurts so much..."
Sasuke's face was somewhat pale. This was the consequence of forcibly eating four bowls of ramen. Even after vomiting several times in the bathroom, he still felt his stomach churning. After entering the family residence, Sasuke returned home. Enduring the discomfort of his body, he had just taken off his shoes when he looked up and saw his father's figure. He saw his father standing there, looking at him expressionlessly.
The atmosphere inevitably became a bit oppressive.
"Father?" Sasuke noticed that his father's face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What... what's wrong?"
"Sasuke, you have disappointed me." Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Today, your performance at the ninja school, is that your answer to me?"
Sasuke's eyes widened. Did his father already know about what happened at the ninja school? Could it be... his father had been watching him secretly?
"I... I will work harder, Father." Sasuke's small hand clenched slightly. He looked up at Fugaku: "If..."
But before Sasuke could finish his sentence, Fugaku said expressionlessly: "There are not so many ifs. If you are inferior to others, you are inferior to others. If it were your brother Itachi, even if he couldn't beat a Chunin teacher, he wouldn't fall to the point where he needed others to save him."
"I heard about the fight at the ninja school. Your performance... was even worse than three little pirates." Fugaku said disappointedly: "If it weren't for Uzumaki Naruto saving you, you might have already died at the ninja school."
"The son of the Uchiha clan patriarch, if he were to die in the ninja school, would definitely be the laughingstock of the entire village. Sasuke, you were just a hair's breadth away from disgracing the Uchiha clan."
At this point, Fugaku became even more disappointed: "Moreover, even when facing a near-death crisis, there was not the slightest fluctuation in your eyes."
"Your talent is not even one percent of Itachi's."
A series of rebukes left Sasuke stunned.
Sasuke lowered his head and said nothing.
He suddenly thought of Hinata. When he was at the ramen shop... he thought Hinata was too weak, and people like her would never appear in the Uchiha clan.
But unexpectedly, the boomerang hit him in the blink of an eye, because Sasuke didn't know what to say.
He didn't have the courage to refute his father.
Moreover, his own father and the Hinata's father of didn't seem to be much different.
Why...
Why is there such a big gap between these fathers and Naruto's Pops?
He had clearly worked so hard.
Sasuke bit his lip.
He felt a bit wronged.
When Sasuke raised his head to say something, he found that his father had already turned and left, leaving only a back view.
"Father..."
"Sasuke." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind: "Father was just speaking out of anger, you don't need to take his words to heart."
Sasuke hurriedly turned his head and saw that it was Itachi who had returned home.
Itachi reached out and ruffled Sasuke's hair.
Compared to Fugaku's strictness...
Itachi was very indulgent towards Sasuke: "I heard that you fought with Iruka-sensei at school. Sasuke, you didn't get hurt, did you? If you get hurt, you can't hide it from your brother!"
"No." Sasuke shook his head, sweeping away the discomfort in his heart. But at this moment, he was a bit confused: "Brother, why is Father always so strict with me?"
Sasuke voiced the grievances in his heart: "I have been working hard to surpass Naruto, and I have become stronger than before. But it's not my fault that I can't surpass Naruto! and It's not because of my lack hard work!"
"But Father blames all these mistakes on me." Sasuke began to empathize with Hinata.
He kind of wished his father could be like Whitebeard.
Sasuke knew very well how good Whitebeard was to Naruto.
But he also knew very well that his own father was not that kind of person.
"Sasuke." Itachi slowly squatted down.
His expression was a bit complicated: "This is not your fault, it's just Father... he cares too much about the clan."
Itachi originally wanted to say that it was because Father's mind was too narrow.
But in the end, he changed his words.
Sasuke was still too young.
It wasn't appropriate to say these things to him.
"Cares too much about the clan?" Sasuke seemed to understand: "In Father's eyes, does the Uchiha clan come before family?"
"Mm." Itachi nodded.
No one wished more than Itachi that his father would care more about his family and not care too much about the affairs of the clan.
Because once the clan leader's father completely focused his mind on the clan, he would be swayed by many "voices" that did not belong to him.
Itachi didn't want his father to lead the Uchiha towards extremism.
He didn't want his father, the clan elders, and those very extreme Uchiha clansmen... to destroy Konohagakure village and the Uchiha clan with their narrow-mindedness.
And... he didn't want them to destroy Sasuke.
A cold light flashed in Itachi's eyes.
Before returning to the family residence today, he secretly went to the Konohagakure prison and had a conversation with Danzo, which gradually surfaced in his mind.
..."Itachi, I heard that the Uchiha clan recently had a batch of contraband encountered in the family residence. If I remember correctly, it seems to be more than 10,000 Explosives. Fugaku naively thought... their actions were unknown, but in fact, these things are under the surveillance of the village!"
..."Have you thought about it? Itachi, the time I gave you to consider has been long enough, right? The patience in the village is limited, once it is discovered that the Uchiha clan has taken action, Konohagakure will not leave the entire Uchiha clan alive."
..."You only have two paths to choose, the first is to stand on the side of your clan, and then you and the Uchiha clan will perish together. The second is to stand on my side... cough! It is to stand on the side of Konohagakure. I promise you to let your younger brother live."
..."Itachi, I know that Shisui has returned to Konohagakure. Although I don't know where he is, I am sure that he has said something to you. Do you want to believe the words of an escapist, or... choose to believe in Konohagakure?"
..."Your younger brother lives, and you also live. In the future, there is still a chance to rejuvenate your Uchiha clan!"
..."It's not that we don't give you time, but the extreme clansmen of the Uchiha clan don't give you time."
Itachi lowered his head and looked at the slight grievance in Sasuke's eyes.
The hesitation and entanglement in his heart gradually became firm.
'Shisui, I know what choice to make.'
'I will never let the village fall into war.'
'I will protect Konohagakure!'
'Protect Sasuke!'
....
Hyuga clan residence.
"Hiashi, hasn't Hinata come back yet?" Hinata's mother, holding a two-year-old little girl, couldn't help but look at her husband.
There was a bit of worry in her eyes: "I heard about the things in the school, this child Hinata just didn't make that decision. As long as she is guided well, she will become strong."
"Don't speak for a cowardly and weak person." Hyuga Hiashi's closed eyes slowly opened: "Even if she is your daughter, she should not be so spoiled. As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family, her cowardice and weakness are her original sins."
"The children of the Uchiha clan can fight with the teachers of the ninja school, and she doesn't dare to throw Shuriken during the battle."
Hyuga Hiashi's tone was quite cold: "This excessive indulgence will only make her more cowardly and become more trashy."
After that, Hiashi looked at the child in his wife's arms.
The coldness in his eyes eased a bit.
"I hope this child is better than her unsuccessful sister." Hiashi murmured: "The child named Hyuga Neji from the branch family has already made a big splash in the ninja school!"
"He... is the child of Hizashi."
At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi's expression suddenly changed.
Because he felt an invisible momentum pressing on his heart, a bad premonition began to permeate his heart.
The sudden situation.
Made him get up suddenly.
"What is this?" Hinata's mother is also a Konohagakure ninja, she also clearly felt that kind of oppression, her face also changed immediately: "What happened in the village?"
"I'll go out and take a look." Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath.
As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, no matter what happens to the family or the village, he has to stand up.
Before going out, he warned his wife: "Protect Hanabi, she is the new hope of our Hyuga clan's main family."
....
The residence of the Hyuga clan is somewhat similar to the Uchiha clan........
Both are located in a relatively large area in Konohagakure village.
And they are both in relatively remote areas.
Speaking of which, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are actually quite close. I don't know why the village wants to put these two clans so close, maybe it's to balance the two sides.
"What is this?" Walking outside, Hyuga Hiashi's eyes gradually widened because his gaze immediately locked onto a figure.
The height of 6.66 Meters is comparable to the houses in the Hyuga clan residence.
Most of the houses in the Hyuga clan are two-story lofts.
In this slightly low group of buildings...
Whitebeard's height is very eye-catching.
"Whitebeard!!!" Hyuga Hiashi suddenly took a breath.
He knows that the Whitebeard Pirates are a very tricky existence, and getting involved with them... will bring countless troubles.
So, when he was in the ninja school, he warned his daughters not to get close to Uzumaki Naruto of the Whitebeard Pirates.
But who could have thought that when he wanted to avoid Whitebeard, Whitebeard actually came to the door!
And at this moment, even he, the patriarch, was shocked.
Not to mention other clansmen.
"Is this...Whitebeard?" A ninja from the Hyuga clan heard a slight vibration outside, and when he opened the window of his house and looked out, his pupils shrank: "Why did he come here?"
"It's the Whitebeard with a bounty of 100 Million!" Some people from the Hyuga clan were shocked and immediately asked their children to hide in the cellar.
After all, Whitebeard is a pirate.
"Quick, quick, quick! The pirates are here!" There are also ninjas from the Hyuga clan who immediately gathered to prevent unexpected things from happening.
"Wait! Why is Hinata-sama with Whitebeard?"
"Oh no! Did he kidnap Hinata?!"
In less than half a minute, the entire Hyuga clan became a mess because of Whitebeard's arrival.
Because they all know how powerful Whitebeard is.
That's why they are so nervous and guarded.
"Gurararararara! They are all white-eyed brats like cataracts!" Whitebeard casually glanced at the Hyuga clan residence and found that anyone in this clan had white eyes.
Whitebeard also felt a sense of peeping.
It's like someone is using a strange ability to see through him.
"Is it those white eyes?" Whitebeard raised his eyebrows: "This is a group of interesting little ninjas."
There are two children next to Whitebeard.
One is the blond Naruto.
The other is Hyuga Hinata.
Naruto strolled nonchalantly through the Hyuga clan's residence, his bright blue eyes curiously looking around, muttering to himself: "What a grand place, every household has its own detached building, and even a small courtyard inside each one."
Naruto, who hadn't walked a few steps, suddenly stopped.
Because, there were people blocking the way ahead.
The ones blocking the way were none other than Hyuga Hiashi, along with some of the Hyuga clan's Jonin, and some of the Hyuga clan's elders.
Both the main family and the branch family were present.
There were more than a dozen people in front.
"Whitebeard-dono, I've heard much about your name." Hiashi also saw his daughter, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But Hyuga Hiashi still tried to keep his expression unchanged: "I am the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, which also means the head of the family, my name is 'Hyuga Hiashi'."
"I wonder... what is the purpose of your visit, Whitebeard-dono?"
If it were an ordinary ninja, Hyuga Hiashi's tone would have become very cold.
But the one he was facing was Whitebeard.
He could only add an honorific.
Whitebeard glanced at Hyuga Hiashi with a vacant gaze, as for the group of elders or Jonin next to Hyuga Hiashi, they were all ignored.
Whitebeard grinned, he never knew how to write the four words "worldly wisdom": "Of course, I came to see what an irresponsible father looks like."
"A white-eyed brat who doesn't even know how to be a qualified father! I want your daughter to join the Whitebeard Pirates! I want your daughter to be my daughter..."
"Do you dare to object? White-eyed brat!"
