Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Let's go back to dinner time for Hinata's family.

As dinner ended, Hinata skipped happily back to her room.

As Ayako Hinata watched her daughter's cheerful figure leave, it seemed as if even the surrounding environment had been tinged with color.

"I never thought Hinata would go out to play on her own initiative. I was worried that she was too introverted and wouldn't be able to make friends in the future."

Ayako Hyuga covered her mouth and chuckled. Seeing Hinata become more cheerful, she felt much more at ease.

Hiashi Hyuga felt a surge of annoyance upon hearing this; he certainly wouldn't have objected if it were just a regular friend.

But this girl's emotions have been written all over her face these past few days, so this is definitely not an ordinary friend.

This made him snort coldly.

"Hmph! She's probably going to find that brat!"

Ayako Hinata still covered her mouth, her eyes widening slightly, revealing a surprised expression.

"You brat? Is that the kid who saved Hinata?"

She had heard about this from Hiashi Hyuga before, and she had even thought about going to thank him in person, but she was not feeling well, so she put it aside for the time being.

"Who else could it be but him?"

Hiashi Hyuga had a tense expression on his face, as if someone owed him thousands of dollars.

"Hmph~"

Seeing her husband's somewhat exasperated expression, Ayako Hinata couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"This might be a good thing. Maybe after spending some time with him, Hinata's personality will change a lot."

"Moreover, after seeing Hinata being bullied, the other person was willing to stand up for her, and when he was hungry, he even took her to eat. So it seems like he's a good kid."

Hiashi Hyuga's eyelids twitched uncontrollably after hearing his wife's words.

They should spend more time together. If they do, their daughter will probably be completely smitten with him.

He had learned a lot about Bai Yun Qingye these past few days. Although her personality was indeed quite good, he also saw clearly what had happened with those three girls.

"You don't know, Ayako, but Shirokumo Aoba already has three young female companions by his side, and they are all very fond of him."

"And this kid hasn't refused yet, so he might want it all!"

"This……"

This surprised Ayako Hinata. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she said uncertainly, "These are just children, it shouldn't be..."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed softly, "These are the results of my investigation, and didn't you notice Hinata's reaction?"

Now Ayako Hinata was starting to worry.

"Hinata will be there tomorrow..."

"Sigh, that's why I'm worried. But this is indeed an opportunity. Hinata has already taken the initiative to make a request. With the help of Shirokumo Aoba, we might be able to get Hinata to let go of her weakness."

Hiashi Hyuga summoned another servant.

"Go prepare 100,000 taels of silver, and then hand it over to Baiyun Qingye later."

"Lord Hiashi, what's wrong...?"

"Tell Baiyun Qingye that this money is his reward. I hope he can make some changes to Hinata's personality, at least to make her more decisive when facing enemies."

"At the same time, we should also give him a good warning and tell him to keep a proper distance from Hinata."

This was the only solution Hiashi Hyuga could think of; he didn't want either of his daughters to be caged like birds.

"clear."

The servant responded and then withdrew.

But just as he stepped out of the house, he was stopped by Hiashi Hyuga.

"and many more."

"Lord Hiashi, is there anything else you require?"

After a moment's hesitation, Hiashi Hyuga finally spoke.

“I’ll go too. I also want to see this guy, the one who made my daughter lose her appetite the first time we met.”

-

Time flows slowly by.

In the large courtyard of Baiyun Qingye's home.

Two figures were crossing paths under the moonlight.

The wooden swords clashed, producing a series of "bang" sounds.

However, during their fight, Uzuki Yugao's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Baiyun Qingye also noticed this change immediately and stopped his attack.

"Sister Xiyan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Uzuki Yugao shook her head, her left hand already reaching for her ninja tool pouch, her eyes fixed on a corner of the roof.

"who?"

Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye quickly realized what was happening and also pulled out several shuriken, immediately becoming alert.

"Don't attack! Don't attack! We're on the same side!"

A ninja wearing a Chunin vest stood up from the roof and jumped directly into the yard.

A pair of pure white eyes clearly identified him as a ninja from the Hyuga clan.

Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to show themselves, Uzuki Yugao still did not let down her guard. She had already thrown down the wooden sword and drawn her own sword.

"Even for the Hyuga clan, this kind of behavior of secretly spying on fellow village ninjas is against the rules."

She was worried that the other party was there to harm Bai Yun Qingye. If she wasn't there, Bai Yun Qingye would probably have a hard time finding the other party, given her strength. What if something happened to Bai Yun Qingye while she was away?

Hyuga's bodyguard also wore a smirk.

He was following Lord Hiashi's orders to secretly observe Shirokumo Aoba's strength, but he never expected that even though he was so well hidden, he would still be discovered.

This purple-haired girl's strength should not be underestimated.

"I actually came to see him."

Hinata's guard rudely pointed at Shirokumo Aoba next to Uzuki Yugao.

This made both of them look somewhat displeased.

But Baiyun Qingye's face showed an expression that said, "So it was you."

"So it was you, Hinata's bodyguard."

It was too dark earlier, so he only recognized the other person now.

"Qingye, do you know him?"

Uzuki Yugao was somewhat surprised, but her vigilance remained largely unchanged.

Shirokumo Aoba nodded and said, "He is Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and I have met him once before."

Uzuki Yugao looked puzzled: "Then why did he contact you?"

Baiyun Qingye shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was going on either.

Seeing that Shirokumo Aoba was also unaware, Uzuki Yugao once again focused her attention on the Hyuga guards.

"What do you want with Aoba? If you don't explain yourself, I'm taking you to see the Hokage."

This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal. If we really want to put it seriously, we can accuse the other party of secretly plotting to harm a fellow villager, which is a major taboo for ninjas.

That day, the guard was a sensible man. He quickly took out a package from his pocket and said...

"Here is 100,000 taels of silver. Lord Hiashi asked me to give it to you. He wants to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing the price of 100,000 taels, Bai Yunqingye's eyes lit up instantly, but he quickly suppressed them again.

One hundred thousand taels is no small sum.

"Tell me what it is first?" Bai Yunqingye's attitude had improved considerably. Money makes things easier, no matter where you are.

"Hinata will come to see you tomorrow afternoon. Lord Hiashi wants you to change Hinata's personality. Lord Hiashi's standard is that Hinata should at least be more decisive when she throws a punch."

So it was Hinata's fault. Shirokumo Aoba remembered that although Hinata practiced very hard during this period, she was not well received by her clan members because of her personality.

"How can you be so sure I can change Hinata's personality?"

He had problems with his own family's education, but instead of finding a solution himself, he turned to this outsider he had only met once.

"To be honest, Hinata herself suggested this trip out."

Hyuga Gobei is also an honest person.

"This……"
