Hinata Hanabi.
Although she is nominally the next head of the Hyuga family, the original work is very stingy in describing this little girl. The setting collection only mentions her in one sentence: "She appears weak on the surface, but she has a strong sense of self-esteem and refuses to admit defeat."
This seems to be Luo Yi's first impression?
At least until now, after regaining her personal freedom, she has not returned to her tribe. Instead, she continues to fight against herself "alone", as if preparing to compete again.
This is indeed the case.
Hanabi couldn't understand why this little boy, who was not much taller than her and seemed to have no chakra, was able to subdue her with one blow in the previous fight.
In order to avoid hurting her, he even held back and deliberately changed direction and threw her into the water.
There was no pursuit.
For Hanabi, who had defeated her sister Hinata in a recent martial arts competition and gained recognition from the entire clan, this was a personal humiliation that went beyond physical injury.
Luo Yi only knew that she had a strong self-esteem, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
After listening to Hanabi's self-introduction, he clasped his hands together awkwardly and said, "Miss Hyuga, I'm sorry for the offense. I'll take my leave now."
"Wait," Hanabi refused without hesitation, "Fight me again."
You want to run away after winning the fight? Is there such a good thing?
No, Luo Yiren was dumbfounded, and pointed a finger at himself, "Second Miss Hyuga, please see clearly, I am just an ordinary person. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you, a ninja, to fight with me?"
"Hmm..." Hanabi frowned slightly, "You have a point, but I, Hanabi, have only lost to my father and sister. If I don't win it back from you, I will..."
While they were still talking, movement from the direction of the gate attracted everyone's attention.
"Master Sunzu."
As the Hyuga woman who had spoken earlier bowed her head in greeting, a middle-aged man in a yukata with three-dimensional features and a serious expression appeared at the door. The unique dark-colored haori represented the man's identity and status.
He has a well-proportioned figure, about 1.75 meters tall, a little thin, with long straight black hair in a slicked-back style, and a pair of white eyes that are purer than those of the people next to him.
Luo Yi remembered that in this story, Hinata Hiashi was a typical strict head of a family. It would probably not be a good thing to meet him at this time.
"You..." Unlike other Hyuga tribe members, Hiashi did not roll his eyes. His calm face concealed calmness and depth.
Luo Yi was more nervous than ever before. It was his first time meeting the head of a clan who was second only to the emperor in Konoha Village. The worst case scenario was that he would be treated as an invader and killed on the spot by referring to the Cloud Ninja who kidnapped Hinata.
He's only been traveling for five minutes and it's already over? Is speedrunning a popular sport these days?
It is impossible to escape. Who can escape from the white eyes that have the functions of insight, farsightedness and perspective?
We can only listen to what the boss has to say first.
The first sentence Ri Zu said might determine his fate. Luo Yi's throat rolled and he swallowed dryly, cold sweat dripping from his temples.
"…Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Rizu looked back and forth at his second daughter who was only covered with a towel and the naked strange boy, and asked.
"Ah?" Luo Yi lowered his head suddenly and finally saw himself clearly in the mist. The cold sweat on his cheeks dripped into the hot spring.
...
Taking back what I said before, if there really is a God of Time Travel in this world, when He drew his own card, He probably didn't think of tearing up the card immediately.
Luo Yi felt that the God of Time Travel wanted to make his life a living hell.
The predecessors all traveled through time with golden fingers, initial sets, and novice gift packs, but he was different. Even his pajamas and panties were stripped off before he traveled through time.
At least he hoped that the messenger who took off his clothes was a cute girl.
The Hyuga family's mansion was much more plain than expected.
The traditional Japanese-style building is a bit like the aristocratic mansions of the Tang Dynasty, but more simple, with log walls, rough paper doors and windows, hard tatami, a low table and a cup of tea, and not even a decorative calligraphy or painting.
From the bathhouse to the changing room, Luo Yi was given a pure white yukata without the Hyuga family crest, and was then guided to the reception room to wait for a while.
While he was daydreaming, the door of the reception room opened, and Hiashi and Hanabi, dressed in yukatas, and two unfamiliar Hyuga clan members entered one after another.
"Mr. Rizu." Luo Yi stood up. He didn't know whether there was any etiquette in the ninja world. Standing up and saying hello was considered polite.
"Luo Yi, your name is Luo Yi, right? You are not the child of any clan?" Ri Zu did not seem to have the airs of the head of a big family. He just asked calmly and steadily.
It's not that he didn't know about Luo Yi's appearance. When Hanabi activated her chakra to attack, Hiashi had already been paying attention to the dynamics of the hot spring. There were two reasons why he didn't come to the scene immediately: first, Luo Yi had no chakra reaction, and he didn't think that Hanabi would lose to such an ordinary person; second, he had never seen Luo Yi's fighting skills before, and he was interested in observing first, and then he was surprised by Hanabi's defeat.
"Yes, I don't belong to your world." Luo Yi said bluntly.
"Your breathing and heartbeat didn't change when you spoke, so even though it sounds unbelievable, I'm willing to believe that what you said is the truth." Rizu said slowly and solemnly.
Luo Yi was a little surprised. This uncle was unexpectedly reasonable. Could it be that my guess about the story timeline was wrong?
"Thank you, Mr. Rizu and Second Miss. I'm sorry for offending you today." He was not being bullied, and since the clothes he was wearing were given to him by others, it was reasonable for him to say a few nice words.
"I have informed the Third Hokage about your situation. He will invite you to meet him in the near future. Before that, you can stay at the Hyuga family first."
So hospitable? Luo Yi was a little flattered. Could there be some trap waiting for him to jump into?
Just as he was about to say thank you...
"But you need to fight me again." Hanabi said seriously.
"Ah?" Luo Yi's facial expression was out of control.
"It's like this. Our little girl Hanabi has not yet started attending ninja school, and her sister Hinata is about to graduate. There is no training partner of similar age in the family. I personally hope that you can accompany her in martial arts training."
Hinata is about to graduate? Luo Yi captured the key information.
In other words, the time point when he traveled through time was exactly the beginning of the main story, when Naruto was 12 years old!
"Uh... As you can see, I'm not a ninja, just a... um, ordinary person who knows a little bit of fighting." Luo Yi wanted to be humble, but as Hanabi's face became more and more puffy, he had to change his words to be neither humble nor arrogant.
"We, the Hyuga clan, are also a special existence among ninjas. We have a pursuit of martial arts that goes beyond that of ordinary ninjas. My little girl... we are very interested in the boxing skills you have demonstrated, and hope to take this opportunity to exchange ideas."
The posture and movement displayed by the young man at that moment were somewhat similar to those of Might Guy, a senior ninja from Konoha Village, masculine and fierce.
It can be said that it is completely contrary to "gentle fist".
Not to mention that Hanabi refused to admit defeat, even Hiashi couldn't hold back.
Luo Yi also understood. So the reason why he had waited so long was because this father and daughter had reached a consensus on having another fight, right?
Are you childish, Lao Deng?
"To be fair, we'll only fight with our boxing skills. I don't know how to use chakra." Hanabi set limits for herself.
Without using chakra, they can't even use their Byakugan, which would undoubtedly be like cutting off a limb for the Hyuga clan.
It can be seen that the little girl really has self-respect and self-reliance.
"Okay, okay, I'll be disrespectful to refuse, Second Miss, please show mercy." Luo Yi knew he couldn't refuse.
After all, they take care of your clothes, accommodation and most likely your food. It's already a good deal to play with the second young lady for a while in exchange.
...
Hyuga family dojo.
"This second young lady really doesn't want to wait even a minute longer." Luo Yi, who was standing on one side, tightened his belt and listened to the footsteps coming closer and closer outside the door on the other side.
He really didn't expect that on the first day of his time travel, he would be entangled by a marginal character who was not even a supporting role in Naruto.
The door opened, and a little girl dressed in a minimalist ninja costume appeared in the hallway.
A crimson sleeveless crew neck shirt, loose cropped trousers of the same colour, blue open-toed ninja shoes, long flowing black hair, and a serious little face.
Is this outfit serious? Luo Yi just felt very unhappy.
Forget about the sandals that are common in the Naruto world, isn't dishevelled hair a glaring weakness? Aren't you afraid of being grabbed by someone?
Oh yeah, how did Sakura go from long hair to short hair.
Looking at myself again, I am dressed in a fancy Taekwondo uniform, just as good as others. It seems that I have no right to point fingers at others.
"Second Miss, please teach me."
Just give them a little military boxing shock.
