"Should I just grab her hand directly? And then make an excuse?"
After leaving the Hokage's office, Alan Folker's mind was constantly conflicted about holding Hinata's hand.
"Um, Folker-kun, do you have time to walk around with me?" Hinata asked softly, her head lowered.
Alan Folker was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded, "Of course!"
He was still wondering how to hold Hinata's hand, and now Hinata was actively asking him to accompany her on the street. He could use this time to see if he could find an opportunity.
Alan Folker followed behind Hinata, constantly thinking about how to hold her hand, not speaking. Hinata also kept her head down, not speaking, seemingly lost in thought.
Alan Folker felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he looked up, puzzled, and asked Hinata, "Sister-in-law, did something happen between you and my brother Naruto?"
Alan Folker remembered that in Naruto's office just now, Naruto seemed very eager for Hinata to leave, as if he had something he wanted to tell him.
Hinata was startled when she heard this, then sighed, but didn't speak.
"Uh..." Seeing Hinata remain silent, Alan Folker couldn't help but scratch his head in frustration.
Hinata's personality was really a bit difficult to communicate with, so Alan Folker had no choice but to shut up and continue to silently follow Hinata as they strolled through Konoha Village.
"How much do you know about your brother's affairs?" Hinata suddenly stopped, turned to Alan Folker, and asked softly.
"Uh... what affairs?" Alan Folker was startled, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Si Ling Qi Er Ba."
He knew quite a bit about Naruto's affairs.
In this world, not only did Kushina and Mikoto not die, but Sakura and Sasuke also had Sarada early on, and Naruto was not the Naruto he knew.
Of course, on the surface, he wasn't much different from the Naruto in the anime.
Hinata's beautiful eyes were fixed on Alan Folker's, and seeing his gaze flicker, she gently shook her head, sighed, and said, "It seems you're not going to tell me the truth about him."
"Uh... did you find out something, Sis-in-law?" Alan Folker felt uncomfortable under Hinata's gaze and stammered.
"I know, I've known for a long time," Hinata took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Uh..."
"Since you knew, why did you still marry him?" Just then, a voice suddenly came.
"Who?!" Alan Folker shouted in a low voice, looking around.
The two had unknowingly arrived at a dense forest, and there was no sign of anyone around.
"Miss Hinata, leave him and marry me." A man with pale skin, long blue-white hair, slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and dressed in white appeared before them.
Otsutsuki Toneri? Alan Folker roughly guessed the other party's identity from his appearance and attire.
"Who are you?" Hinata's expression also sank when she saw Toneri, her fists slightly clenched, looking vigilant.
"Miss Hinata, my name is Toneri, Otsutsuki Toneri," Toneri extended his right hand and said indifferently.
It really is him! Why is he here? Is he still harboring ill intentions towards Hinata?
Alan Folker hadn't been in the village for a few years, so he subconsciously assumed Toneri had already tried to abduct Hinata.
No, Hinata doesn't recognize him, which means Toneri hasn't been here before.
Alan Folker suddenly realized this.
"Sis-in-law, hurry and go, I'll hold him off, his target is you!" Alan Folker stood in front of Hinata and said to her.
"No! I can't leave you alone!" Hinata heard Alan Folker's words and shook her head firmly.
"Miss Hinata, I won't hurt you, believe me!" Toneri glanced indifferently at Alan Folker, then looked at Hinata and said, "As long as we combine, we can jointly create the ideal peaceful world."
"The current world is fine; I don't need any other peaceful world," Hinata refused curtly. She had no interest in the peaceful world Toneri spoke of.
"In that case, I'll just have to forcefully take you!" Toneri's voice remained as cold as iron, and his figure suddenly vanished.
The next second, he appeared beside Hinata.
"Dream on!" Seeing this, Alan Folker quickly blocked Hinata's path.
"Annoying fellow!" Toneri snorted coldly, then swung his arm and struck at Alan Folker.
Alan Folker's pupils constricted slightly; his reaction speed was already fast enough, but he was still hit on the shoulder by Toneri's attack.
With a "poof," Alan Folker flew backward, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Alan Folker!" Hinata exclaimed, running to Alan Folker's side and helping him up.
"Cough cough..." Alan Folker wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggled to his feet, and glared fiercely at Toneri.
Although he knew he was no match for Toneri, Toneri had sent him flying with just one move; such strength was somewhat terrifying.
"Are you alright?" Hinata helped Alan Folker up, holding his hand, and asked worriedly.
Ding! Mission to hold Hinata's hand completed, rewarding 100 points of Passion.
Hinata holding Alan Folker's hand completed the mission issued by the Icha Icha Paradise System, which made Alan Folker's eyes light up.
The Icha Icha Paradise System would occasionally issue missions, and each mission would reward Passion points.
These Passion points could be used for a lottery draw, with each draw costing one thousand Passion points.
Now, he had completed Kushina's kiss for 100 points, touching Sakura's breasts for 300 points, kissing Sakura for 500 points, and holding Hinata's hand for 100 points.
Exactly one thousand Passion points.
He didn't know what he would get from spending a thousand Passion points on the lottery, but he could only pin his hopes on this draw now.
Toneri approached Alan Folker and Hinata step by step. He wasn't in a hurry; after all, Alan Folker's strength was only so-so, and he wasn't afraid of Hinata.
Draw! Give me a draw!
Watching Toneri approach step by step, Alan Folker shouted in his heart to the Icha Icha Paradise System.
Consuming one thousand Passion points, drawing now!
Dududu...
