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

Shirokumo Aoba led Hinata out of Ichiraku Ramen.

Just as he was about to head towards the Hyuga clan, he suddenly saw a tall man standing in front of him.

She looked at him with an extremely unfriendly expression.

That expression looks so familiar!

Baiyun Qingye has seen this expression many times.

Every time Tetsu meets Tenten, Ino, and Sakura's parents, they secretly give him this kind of look.

He didn't recognize the person in front of him.

However, those white eyes must belong to Hinata's bodyguard.

"kid!"

"Thank you so much for taking care of my young lady."

"Uh, you're welcome."

Hearing the other person's gritted teeth, Bai Yun Qingye wasn't embarrassed at all; she was already used to it.

Shirokumo Aoba then looked at Hinata, who was still standing behind him with her head down, and said, "Hinata, your family has come to pick you up, so I'll be going now."

"what?"

Hinata, who was still looking down, subconsciously raised her head, only to find that Shirakumo Aoba had already turned and left.

Soon, Hinata could no longer find him in the darkness of night.

Hinata pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disappointment, then suddenly remembered something, and became even more disappointed.

I don't know when we'll meet again.

"Hinata-sama?"

The guards noticed Hinata's unusual behavior and quickly went to check on her.

"I am fine."

Hinata shook her head, but the guard could clearly sense some dissatisfaction in the other person's tone.

This is the first time.

Now it was the guards' turn to feel wronged.

He had actually found Hinata long ago, but he happened to see her eating ramen happily outside.

The guard decided to wait until Hinata was about to leave before making his move, knowing that he was risking punishment from the clan leader by waiting.

That brat deserves to die!

The guard decided that once he returned, he would report everything to the clan chief and thoroughly investigate this kid.

-

Reflecting on the wonderful experience of the day, Baiyun Qingye pushed open her own front door.

In the darkness, Baiyun Qingye groped for the light switch to turn on the room.

Just as he placed his hand on the switch, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar and lifted up.

"Who is it?!"

Baiyun Qingye exclaimed in surprise.

His body spun rapidly in the air, delivering a spinning kick.

It was easily caught by a hand.

But Baiyun Qingye's attack did not stop; he immediately reached his hand inside the lining of his clothes.

Several shurikens were launched, hurled at the figure holding him.

Bai Yunqingye immediately felt his body falling, and the hand that had been holding him had let go.

Immediately, the sound of metal clashing echoed from the darkness.

Just as Bai Yunqingye steadied himself and was about to take out the explosive tag, the other party finally spoke.

"Okay, it's me."

As the lights came on, Baiyun Yeshan's resolute face appeared before him.

"Uncle, it's dangerous for people to scare each other."

Seeing that familiar face, Bai Yunqingye breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the explosive tag in her hand back into her clothes.

He almost lost 2000 taels of silver.

"Hmph, you've done something pretty big in the village."

Baiyun Yeshan returned to his seat, staring at Baiyun Qingye with hostility.

Bai Yunyeshan had just returned from a mission and still carried a hint of the grim atmosphere he had during that mission.

Even knowing that the other party wouldn't do anything to her, Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

With a slightly dry throat, he asked in return.

"What...what did I do?"

Baiyun Yeshan narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"What is your relationship with the Yamanaka family and those two little girls at the ninja tool shop now?"

"Uh, just friends."

Baiyun Qingye scratched his head and told the truth.

"Just ordinary friends?"

People in the ninja world mature very early; it's normal for them to have someone they like at the age of four or five. Shirakumo Hayama isn't against Shirakumo Aoba having a young girlfriend, but at least he shouldn't be too promiscuous.

If we add the Haruno family, then there are three.

Even if he's really going to be a womanizer, he shouldn't only date rich girls, otherwise it'll be very difficult for him as their uncle in the village.

I just got back to the village today. When I went to submit my mission, Yamanaka Inoichi gave me a lot of attitude. The same thing happened when I went to get more ninja tools.

Although he wasn't being harassed, he still thought he had offended the two men somehow. When he asked, he found out it was all related to his nephew.

"I was just teaching Tian Tian how to use shuriken; they came up to me on their own..."

Bai Yunqingye said softly.

Baiyun Yeshan's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and he asked again, "When I'm not around, do you usually come home this late at night?"

"No, I was having dinner out with a friend today."

Seeing that everything was alright, Baiyun Qingye came over and sat down on the sofa.

"Ino, Sakura, or Tenten?"

"Uh, it's Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan..."

"..."

Baiyun Yeshan fell silent.

a long time.

He then spoke softly.

"Qingye, I know you've always been quite sensible, so I think you should understand that even if my strength is decent, this is all I'll ever be. In the end, I'm just a commoner with some ability."

The gap between commoners and ninja clans in the ninja world is like an insurmountable chasm. Stories of silly boys and rich girls do exist, but those are all cases of marriage into another family and pure love. This kid, on the other hand, has been provoking one girl after another, and even Shirakumo Hayama is a little afraid.

Bai Yun Qingye looked at Bai Yun Yeshan with a puzzled expression, but Bai Yun Yeshan's expression became even more serious, and he continued to speak.

“I’m worried that one day when I come back from a mission, I’ll walk into the house and see you all bruised and battered.”

"..."

The white clouds and green leaves were speechless.

Baiyun Yeshan stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Get some rest tonight. I'll check your progress in your training tomorrow. If you want to be with the young lady, you'll have to rely on your own strength."

-

"You mean Hinata has already eaten five bowls of ramen outside?"

Hiashi Hyuga listened to the guard's report with an incredulous expression.

He never imagined that Hinata, who usually puts down her chopsticks after eating one bowl of rice and says she's full, could eat five bowls of ramen without batting an eye.

"I saw it with my own eyes," the guard replied.

Seeing the guard's confirmation, it took Hiashi Hyuga a while to come to his senses.

"I understand. You can go now. Remember to compile a file on Baiyun Qingye for me."

"Yes, Chieftain."

After Hiashi Hyuga dismissed the guards and returned to the living room, he saw Hinata reading a book with Hanabi, who was still very young.

I couldn't help but feel guilty.

He had always viewed Hinata as the heir to the clan headship, but he never expected that he, as her father, would be so oblivious to something that even a child could see.
