Even if he was dissatisfied with the clan, and dissatisfied with the Village, he would never mention it until he truly faced eternal damnation.
It was precisely because of this that Naruto-kun's frank style seemed even more precious.
And the reason Hinata was able to change was also due to Naruto-kun's influence.
The first time she heard praise from her father, she couldn't help but be moved, and her eyes became blurry with tears... until Hanabi came skipping along, saw her sister crying, and couldn't help but frown.
"Sister, why are you crying?"
Hinata realized it was her younger sister Hanabi, so she wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and revealed a gentle smile.
"No, it's nothing…"
"These are tears of joy."
Hanabi listened, half-understanding, half-confused: "Tears of joy?"
"Yes, I'm very happy."
"Then, Sister, can you practice with me?"
Hinata smiled and ruffled Hanabi's little head.
"Of course, but not now, because I'm going out…"
"Oh…"
Hanabi lowered her head in disappointment.
"Sister has been going out a lot lately, and I don't know what she's doing…"
Hinata blushed slightly: "Sister is also training, another kind of training…"
"Sister, you're blushing! Is it related to that person you said you liked before?!"
Hinata quickly turned around, but her ears and the back of her neck were flushed.
"Don't, don't talk nonsense, Hanabi…"
"I'm leaving, I'll practice with you when I get back."
Hanabi covered her mouth and giggled.
"I guessed it, hehehe…"
…When Hinata arrived, Naruto-kun was seizing every moment to train.
Hearing Hinata knock, Naruto-kun was overjoyed.
"Come in quickly, Hinata!"
Hinata pushed the door open, took off her sun hat, and nodded slightly to Naruto-kun with a blush.
"Naruto-kun."
Naruto-kun stepped forward and took Hinata's small hand.
"Come quickly, there's a problem I can't solve, and I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Hinata, with her small hand held by Naruto-kun, was instantly shy and her heart pounded.
"Look, it's this problem!"
Naruto-kun pulled Hinata's hand and sat down, pointing to his textbook.
Hinata felt hot all over, as if electrified, and had no mind to talk about any problem.
"Na, Naruto-kun, your hand…"
Only then did Naruto-kun realize he was tightly holding Hinata's small hand.
But he didn't mind, letting go generously and smiling.
"Ah, my apologies, my apologies."
Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, but then a strange sense of loss inexplicably arose in her heart.
Only then did she have the mind to look at the problem, and quickly began to explain it to Naruto-kun.
Naruto-kun nodded repeatedly as he listened, enlightened and suddenly understanding.
Hinata also smiled gently.
In fact, Naruto-kun's academic scores now averaged over eighty points, and while he couldn't be called a top student, he was certainly an excellent one.
Compared to before, Hinata felt that explaining problems now was much easier.
"Naruto-kun, you've really made great progress…"
"If you keep this up, you'll soon be getting full marks in all your academic subjects…"
"Moreover, your Ninjutsu and sparring are also perfect scores, so you'll truly be the absolute first place then."
Naruto-kun said proudly: "Aha, that's my goal!"
"In the final assessment, I want to graduate as the absolute first place!"
"But, hehe, I still have to thank you for your help, Hinata…"
Hinata felt honored and smiled sweetly.
"You're welcome, Naruto-kun."
The two studied together for a morning when Naruto-kun suddenly had an idea.
"Hinata, we shouldn't just study academic subjects together; we can also help each other with Ninjutsu and sparring!"
"How about it, do you want to have a Ninja sparring match with me?"
Hinata's heart also stirred, both surprised and delighted.
"O-okay…"
Hinata, on one hand, wanted to improve herself, and on the other hand, she naturally wanted to spend more time with Naruto-kun.
This was simply killing two birds with one stone.
The two went to the street downstairs and, in a very formal manner, formed the Confrontation Seal.
"Please, please guide me, Naruto-kun."
"Ah, likewise!"
"Here I come!"
In an instant.
Naruto-kun attacked first, still rushing forward with his best Taijutsu.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Hinata was also ready, activating her Byakugan and adopting the starting stance of Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm.
Hah!
She suddenly crossed her hands, and her arms burst with power at close range, precisely blocking Naruto-kun's fierce kick. Then, with a sweep of her arm, she neutralized Naruto-kun's force.
Naruto-kun's body twisted involuntarily, and he landed on the ground, secretly filled with admiration.
"As expected of the Hyuga Clan's secret Gentle Fist!"
But he was not to be outdone and immediately turned his back to Hinata, unleashing the Taijutsu secret inherited from Might Guy.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
This fierce kick instantly erupted, its power strong and domineering, and it was a reverse attack, very strange and caught people off guard!
However, Hinata had already witnessed Naruto-kun's Taijutsu and did not panic, once again using the power of Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm to neutralize it, but she was still shaken back by the force.
Naruto-kun, seizing the advantage, shouted excitedly.
"Hinata, watch out!"
"I'm going to use the Ninjutsu I just learned!"
Hinata's heart stirred, and her Byakugan's perception was raised to its limit as she carefully concentrated and prepared.
"Wind Release: Whirlwind Fist!"
Naruto-kun charged straight in, his Wind Release Chakra instantly surging and condensing from his body onto his fist. A roaring gust of wind, wrapped around his iron fist, fiercely blasted towards Hinata!
Hinata was greatly astonished!
"W-what kind of Ninjutsu is that?!"
The power of this move was so immense that even before the fist arrived, the fierce wind had already assailed her face!
Hinata quickly brought her hands together as if to seal, performing a defensive technique from Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm.
However… Boom!—
Boom!!!
A fierce blow still sent Hinata flying heavily!
"Ah—"
Hinata cried out in surprise, her body uncontrollably crashing into the wall behind her!
"Hinata!"
Naruto-kun also knew he had overdone it, and he too let out a scream, his body suddenly transforming into a gust of wind, his speed reaching its peak. He arrived in an instant, surprisingly reaching behind Hinata first and pulling her into his arms!
It was precisely Naruto-kun's self-created Wind Release secret art… Wind Body Flicker Technique!
Hinata was even more astonished: "Na-Naruto-kun, what kind of Body Flicker Technique is this?!"
"So, so fast…"
Naruto-kun, holding Hinata, was even more proud: "Hehe, this is my self-created Wind Body Flicker Technique, how is it, isn't it amazing?!"
"Yes, it's really amazing!"
Hinata also played along, exclaiming sincerely.
But at this moment, she realized she was being held in Naruto-kun's arms. She was instantly overwhelmed with shyness, let out a scream, and suddenly pushed Naruto-kun away.
"Ah!"
Naruto-kun hit the wall with a thud, hurting himself instead.
"Hinata, what are you doing…"
But when he looked at Hinata, he found her body was burning hot, her skin flushed red, almost fainting… "Hinata?"
"Hey, Hinata, are you alright?!"
Naruto-kun quickly went forward and hugged Hinata again, but Hinata's body became even hotter, and she completely collapsed in Naruto-kun's arms… Chapter 91: Chakra Level Exceeds Jonin! The Last Year of the Ninja Academy!
Hinata was held in Naruto-kun's arms, and because she was too shy, she completely went limp.
Naruto-kun, having no other choice, could only give her a princess carry, carrying the unconscious Hinata upstairs and placing her on his bed to rest.
As a complete straight man, he naturally didn't understand why Hinata had fainted.
He only secretly blamed himself in his heart, thinking that after learning a new Wind Release Ninjutsu, he was impatient to fight someone, and as a result, he directly knocked Hinata unconscious… This was truly unforgivable!
Naruto-kun held his head, scolding himself in annoyance.
"I'm such an idiot!"
"To test the power of a new Ninjutsu, I used full force without restraint on Hinata, even though I always said she was my benefactor. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?!"
