"Move, Hinata!"
Hinata Hyuga's small face was pale with fear, and there were faint tears glistening in her eyes.
As the young mistress of the Hyuga clan, hearing their vulgar remarks about the Byakugan, she should have taught them a lesson.
But in reality, her mind went blank, her limbs were weak, and she completely forgot all the boxing techniques she had learned. She became even more helpless.
"Disrespectful! You deserve a beating!"
Suddenly, a voice made Hinata Hyuga instinctively look up.
She saw a scene that she might never forget in her life.
Three water streams whipped the three brats like leather whips, tearing their skin and flesh.
Heart - rending wails echoed.
Hinata Hyuga strained her eyes to see Natsume's face clearly.
So handsome.
These three words popped into her mind.
Hinata Hyuga thought her cousin, Neji Hyuga, was already good - looking, but she never expected that there could be someone even better - looking, or rather, cooler.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing her dazed expression, Natsume wondered if she was scared out of her wits.
But the next moment, he seemed to witness a magic trick.
Hinata Hyuga's slightly pale face quickly flushed, as red as a ripe apple.
She lowered her head, with her index fingers fidgeting against each other, and then whispered in a whisper as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Th... thanks."
Natsume secretly thanked his lucky stars that he was a ninja with far better hearing than ordinary people. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have heard it.
[Because of your actions, Hinata Hyuga's destiny has changed. You have gained 100 destiny value.]
Is it really that easy?
Natsume almost suspected that there was something wrong with the Tamaki of Destiny.
Is Hinata Hyuga really that easy to sway?
After a moment of thought, he found it reasonable.
Our heroine was rather shy or lacking in courage in the early stage.
She grew up gradually.
To cultivate her goodwill was very simple: just save her from the brats.
But there was only one chance.
In the original story, it was Naruto Uzumaki who did it.
Now Natsume had taken the lead, and his good looks were quite popular among women.
[Because of your actions, Naruto Uzumaki's destiny has changed. You have gained 39 destiny value.]
The Tamaki of Destiny gave another prompt.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't contribute many destiny value.
His destiny wouldn't change just because he lost Hinata Hyuga.
Well, how should one put it?
Naruto Uzumaki was actually quite pitiful. It seemed that he had changed a lot, but in fact, nothing had really changed.
After becoming the Hokage and saving the world, things were still in chaos, and wars still broke out.
The so - called persuasion through words is just persuasion based on strength.
Jiraiya and the others believed not in the persuasion through words but in Naruto Uzumaki's ability to bring peace with his strength.
It was a pity that it never came true.
Hinata Hyuga didn't hear a reply for a long time. She cautiously looked up and saw Natsume showing a bright and happy smile.
She instantly panicked, like a frightened little white rabbit, and buried her head again, not daring to look at him.
"What's your name?"
Looking at her like this, Natsume couldn't help but want to pinch her face.
Because she was so cute.
The only pity is that Hinata Hyuga had short hair when she was a child.
Natsume preferred Hinata Hyuga's long hair, which looked prettier.
"Hi...na...ta Hyuga."
Hinata Hyuga finally managed to say her name with great difficulty.
"It's not good for your back if you keep your head down like this."
Natsume crouched down, patted her on the back, and said.
Hinata Hyuga trembled, and the blush on her face spread to her ears.
She looked up, feeling as if she had been soaking in a hot spring for a long time, dizzy.
"Hey?"
Natsume quickly caught her as she was about to fall.
What a unique constitution Hinata Hyuga has!
"I... I'm okay."
Hinata Hyuga tried hard to steady herself.
"Where do you live? I'll walk you home."
Natsume was worried that she might faint. If he carried her to the Hyuga clan, he would not only be looked down upon but also beaten up by the clan members.
"I... I..."
Hinata Hyuga was obviously overloaded, as if steam was coming out of her.
Natsume stopped teasing her, took a step back, and said softly, "Don't rush. Take your time to think."
After a while, Hinata Hyuga lowered her head again, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands, fidgeting nervously, and said, "I... I don't remember the way."
Well, Hinata Hyuga is really bad with directions.
Natsume remembered that this was indeed a characteristic of Hinata Hyuga when she was a child.
Pretty amazing.
Having the Byakugan and still getting lost.
The most absurd thing is that none of the numerous members of the Hyuga clan noticed Hinata Hyuga's disappearance.
After all, she was the young miss of the main family, but they didn't care at all.
Natsume had never been to the Hyuga clan's territory, but he knew the general direction.
Just as he was about to take Hinata Hyuga there, a dark figure flashed in front of her.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Saying that, the person looked at Natsume warily.
But after noticing the Konoha forehead protector on his head, the expression relaxed a little.
Hinata Hyuga shook her head.
"Since your bodyguard has arrived, I won't walk you home."
Natsume showed a gentle smile and said, "Don't get lost next time."
He turned around and left.
Hinata Hyuga suddenly felt a pang of panic and unconsciously took a few steps forward.
Your name!
Before she could say these four words, Natsume had disappeared.
A look of disappointment appeared on Hinata Hyuga's little face.
"Miss, let's go back."
Tokuma Hyuga took his eyes off Natsume.
This chapter is not over yet. More exciting content is coming!

He had never seen Natsume before, but the two sentences just now indicated that he had just happened to come across the lost Hinata Hyuga, so there was no need to investigate further.
Hinata Hyuga nodded absent - mindedly in response, but she was very regretful inside.
Who on earth are you?
This question would probably trouble her for a long time.
Natsume returned to the Gunma Casino.
He was a bit disappointed that he didn't meet Naruto Uzumaki.
As the Jinchuriki of the Nine - Tailed Fox, Naruto Uzumaki had always been under the personal charge of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Natsume had once asked Tsunade indirectly if she could adopt Naruto Uzumaki.
Leaving aside Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki grew up with her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, from a young age.
Tsunade should have a close relationship with the woman, so it's not a big problem emotionally for her to adopt the woman's son.
But it won't work.
Hiruzen Sarutobi currently doesn't allow anyone to interfere in this matter.
Even Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya were only allowed to teach Naruto Uzumaki after confirming his Will of Fire.
Needless to say, Tanzo Shimura also has his own agenda.
He has long wanted Naruto Uzumaki to join Root.
Therefore, he and Hiruzen Sarutobi have repeatedly had this classic conversation.
"Hiruzen, you'll regret it!"
"Tanzo, I'm the Hokage."
Natsume wants to get in touch with Naruto Uzumaki without arousing Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicion, so he needs to choose a suitable moment.
An unexpected encounter would be the best way.
"Brother!"
Karin immediately threw down her textbook and skipped towards him.
"How was your study today? I have to quiz you."
Natsume picked her up and asked, "What does 'Those whose strength is insufficient give up halfway' in The Analects of Confucius mean?"
"Those who are not as strong as me will be thrashed on the path!"
Karin clenched her little fists and replied in a cute and fierce way.
Confucius: Oh my! This is a shocker!
It seems this one is a hopeless case.
Ena, while we're still young, let's roll a new character.
