Chapter 68: This Wave Is a Failure of Pretending to be Slapped in the Face
"...Calm down. If Hinata and Hanabi heard the noise and came over to see this, they would think that we two were fighting in the study."
The dark room was a mess, with papers and scrolls scattered all over the floor, as well as countless tiny pieces of glass from the broken light tubes.
This was what remained of a desk lamp that had been kicked away. It was rare to see Hiashi breathing heavily and acting so irritable, but Ryosuke had no intention of watching him for a few more minutes. He shook his arms and tried to soothe him with words.
Through his Byakugan, he could clearly see that Hinata, who was playing with Hanabi on the other side of the main house, had already noticed the commotion here. But fortunately, she didn't come over, though she looked a little confused.
"You dare to put yourself in such a dangerous situation the first time you leave the village. How can I stay calm? How dare I let you leave the village again?" Hiashi panted heavily.
However, he also noticed that his daughter seemed to be affected by the noise, so he refrained from smashing more things to vent his anger. To be honest, he hadn't been this angry in years. But he couldn't bear to hit Ryosuke.
After hesitating for a while, Ryosuke couldn't help but continue to refute, "Father, with my current strength, no ninja can stop me."
"Still so arrogant!"
Hiashi glared at him and was about to continue scolding him. But thinking carefully about Ryosuke's strength after his last transformation, he fell silent again.
"Don't worry, father. I have my own considerations for every matter."
Seeing him opening his mouth but unable to speak, Ryosuke gave him a way out at the right time, "If it's not something particularly urgent, I can handle it myself and won't trouble you with everything."
"I need to learn to grow up and be independent. In fact, it will be the same for me, Hinata, and Hanabi in the future."
"...Sure, you mean I should stop caring about you? Are you tired of me as a father?"
In the darkness, Hiashi took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, "So... if you didn't need me to help you find these clansmen, you were going to keep this a secret from me and pretend that nothing had happened, right?"
Ryosuke was speechless for a moment, and replied with a wry smile: "This...I just thought, there is no need to trouble you."
When he said this, he felt inexplicably subtle. In fact, not only had Hinata changed because of his arrival, but even he himself was changing unconsciously because of coming to this family. Usually, speaking in this tone was impossible, but now...
"Snort."
Hiashi snorted coldly, looking down at Ryosuke, who was only half a head shorter than him, "Tell me clearly, what are you going to do with the bodies of these three Uchiha? The word Uchiha is very sensitive in the village now. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ryosuke scratched his head, "I understand, so I deliberately selected these trustworthy clansmen, but it would not be appropriate for me to call them over."
After saying this, he closed his mouth and didn't speak again. The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Neither of them spoke again.
Still waiting for no reply, Hiashi looked at Ryosuke deeply. As for his evasive answer to the question of what he planned to do with the Uchiha clan, he did not continue to ask, and said in a cold voice: "I will call them tomorrow, but you have to stay in the village obediently for the time being, until... you two graduate."
Ryosuke panicked and quickly explained, "No, you know, my current strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary jonin, you don't have to worry about me so much..."
This is what he feared the most. After Hiashi knew about this, he put him under house arrest. To be honest, if he had just arrived in this world, he might not care what Hiashi thought. He would just leave the village when he should and leave when he should. But now, he has to consider what his father thinks.
"Not negotiable."
But Hyuga Hiashi interrupted him directly, "I can't control you outside, but in the village, you have to listen to me."
"Even if you are very strong now, not weaker than ordinary jonin, what if you meet an extraordinary jonin, or even a ninja who is stronger than jonin?"
"You... unless you have the strength to defeat me and I can't control you, I won't allow you to leave the village and do anything dangerous."
His tone was stern, with an attitude that left no room for negotiation. But it was this request that made Ryosuke dumbfounded.
"...OK."
He hesitated for a moment before replying. But thinking about whether such a bland tone would seem too contemptuous of his father, he quickly added, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"No."
Clenching his fists, Hiashi repeated once more, "If you came to me just for this matter, then you can go. By the way, go find Aliang for me and ask her to find a few people to help me clean up the house."
"Oh well..."
Ryosuke nodded helplessly and quietly left the study. He kept a straight face until he reached the courtyard, then he couldn't help laughing, "You're clearly confident in my abilities, so why are you being so stubborn and unwilling to let me leave..."
The attitude that Hiashi showed him was too obvious.
Smiling, he walked to the other side of the house. The housekeeper, Aliang, was currently playing with Hanabi and Hinata, and Ryosuke needed to go find them now.
In the dark study, following Ryosuke's departure, silence fell. After a long while, a helpless sigh sounded from the darkness. "It's not that I don't want to stop him and give him freedom when he grows up completely. It's that I don't have the ability to stop him..."
The next day, when Ryosuke and the others arrived at school, almost the entire grade was discussing the fact that Naruto was going to graduate early. In the elite class, everyone who had seen Naruto's performance in the actual combat assessment was convinced, and was not surprised that he would apply for graduation.
But the people in the ordinary class had never seen Naruto take action, and they even had a lot of malice towards Naruto, so most of them laughed at his application for graduation. After being unknown for a year, Naruto suddenly rose to prominence. This is a typical story of a good-for-nothing male protagonist's counterattack.
It seems that the current plot has developed to the stage where the male protagonist is about to explode, and the crowd of spectators are mindlessly mocking him.
In other words, all that's left now is for Naruto to pass the graduation exam and slap these mockers in the face with the truth, and then the script will be over.
But at this moment, before this slap in the face happened, another piece of news came out.
"Uchiha Sasuke returned to school, acknowledged Uzumaki Naruto's strength, and also admitted that he had lost the top spot in the grade to him. Moreover... he also wanted to apply for early graduation, and after officially becoming a ninja, he would compete with Uzumaki Naruto."
