Chapter 262 The Unexpected Person
The circular Hokage symbol has been fixed on the building for some years.
It has been washed by the sun and the moon, and has acquired a little bit of the breath of time. When the shadow points obliquely towards the mountain forest, it means the beginning of a day.
But if I get up at this time, my father will scold me.
Hinata had already packed up and finished her morning exercises, then sat alone in the yard enjoying her own morning tea.
Her father hadn't eaten at home for quite some time. Hinata felt lonely but didn't have the courage to speak out.
Even Hanabi has no right to say those things, let alone her?
"I've eaten. Thanks for the treat."
She clasped her hands together and ended the meal reverently.
The rice porridge was not very tasty, the saury was too salty, and the miso soup was tasteless. It was like the food that servants eat, but it was already common for the young lady.
"Miss Hinata..."
She is the eldest daughter in name only. She is the future head of the family in name only - everyone knows that as long as Hua Huo can grow up smoothly, the title of head of the main family will definitely not fall on this eldest daughter.
But so what?
"Ms. Xia, good morning." The girl smiled timidly, as usual, but how could today be an ordinary day?
The servant of the branch family, who was wearing a maid outfit, reminded diligently:
"It will soon be time for the third game to begin..."
The timid girl did not give up - no one had any expectations of her from the beginning to the end.
From the very beginning, in the first exam, the person who should have been eliminated miraculously made it to the finals.
How magical, how extraordinary.
"It must be because she has some good teammates! Whether it's the children of the Inuzuka family or the young masters of the Aburame clan, they are all considered to be quite talented young people in the clan..."
"And with the sunset red..."
The only time her father had eaten with her this week was when he discussed his own Chunin Exams with the guests.
There was no pride in her father's words. Hinata did not see who the guest was or what he looked like. She only knew that her beloved father was describing herself as if he was talking about a stranger's child.
No matter how hard you try, you won't be recognized.
She thought in a daze.
In that case, is there any point in continuing? If I end it here, when will my future end?
Hinata was shocked by her own thoughts. She quickly shook her head to get rid of this dangerous idea. Her place was also obtained by Kiba and Shino with great efforts. This was the result of everyone's joint efforts. If she gave up casually, wouldn't it be disrespectful to everyone?
And that dream...
"I will attend on time, please don't worry, Miss Xia."
She spoke for too long in one breath, and even her ears were stained with abnormal red. Even when facing her own servants, Hinata couldn't get rid of her shy habit.
She intertwined her index fingers, like an ant on a hot pot, put the plate in the sink, put on her ninja shoes and walked outside in a hurry: "I'm going out."
Hinata was only bid farewell by the maid's sigh and a formulaic "Bon voyage".
Don't ask for what you can't have, she whispered to herself.
If she passed the Chunin Exam, she would be a Chunin - isn't she just dreaming of something she can't get?
The front of the house was paved with bricks and the moss on them was completely removed - every time a green tip appeared, a family member in kimono would clean it up.
When you are no longer of use...
Hinata knew very well that one day she might end up like this moss.
"Good morning, Hinata!"
She had just taken a step outside when a boy with a dog fell from the sky.
Inuzuka Kiba always liked to climb walls and jump over rooftops. With his unfinished breakfast in his mouth, he would jump and run on all fours on the rooftop.
"Good morning...Ya-kun..."
Just saying hello, her face turned red again. She followed the pace of the man and the dog, and walked a little further. As expected, she saw the last teammate wearing a hood.
There is no reason not to try.
So Hinata Hyuga will not give up.
And... today, she still has people she wants to see and things she wants to do.
...
Snake Eye Anshu can see anyone in the Hyuga branch family, but it definitely cannot be Hyuga Hinata.
"Um...what a coincidence..."
He was strolling back slowly and bought two pots of sake from the izakaya next to Gan Li Gan as a gift for Tsunade - he was the only person present who could be bribed.
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree was humming a song as he watched the building grow bigger and closer to him. His nostrils were even filled with the dark and rotten smell of the branch family. Then he saw a woman.
It was a female ninja, a ninja he was familiar with but not completely familiar with.
Why did this female ninja, who I just saw when drawing lots and talked to Tsunade for a long time, appear at the door of the branch family?
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree was not quite clear about the dispute between the main family and the branch family, but just from the long story and rhetoric given by the snake, even a fool would know that the conflict between the branch family and the main family was not ordinary big.
The greeting didn't seem to reach Hinata. She seemed not to hear it and was concentrating on the doorbell.
Today, Snake-Eye Xingshu didn't want to climb over the wall. He wanted to go through the front door - after all, Gaara left early and should have been serving as a door god in the house by now.
According to the red-haired guy's habit of spying on people, he was now watching himself and Hinata struggling at the door - but the hateful red-haired guy would not say a word to anyone, including Hyuga Neji.
He will pretend that he saw nothing and continue to flatter Hinata Neji!
Snake Eye Anshu knew that Hyuga Neji was always blind and deaf in front of Gaara. No matter how pretentious the other party was, he could accept it perfectly - there was even some shocking pampering. Now, he had no choice but to save himself!
So Snake Eyed Apricot Tree spoke somewhat awkwardly: "Hinata?" This time he raised his voice a little to make sure the other party could hear him.
"Ah!" The girl exclaimed softly, as if she had just realized that there was someone behind her: "Hello, Xingshu-kun..."
Is this still a sensory ninja? If I were not a ninja from Konoha, or if this was not a peaceful era, this girl would have died long ago.
Maybe she was too absorbed in her thoughts, Hinata greeted him confusedly and turned around to struggle with the doorbell.
Is it always so difficult for the eldest daughter of the main family to visit the branch family?
Snake-Eyed Apricot Tree frowned, but quickly remembered his persona as a genius male god.
"Hinata, do you have something to ask Neji? If it's not convenient, I can also convey it to you."
He shook his sleeves, and a key fell out of them and landed right on the boy's palm.
Although he is a "captive" of Hyuga Neji, he can get the key to his "master's" house, and even his range of activities is not really restricted.
Life as a ninja is even more comfortable than life as a bishop's son.
"Ah..." Hinata opened her mouth wide, so surprised that she stammered and couldn't speak: "Kyoshu-kun is..." She didn't know that her cousin in the branch family also knew Snake-Eyed Kyoshu.
But if it's that person...it wouldn't be strange even if he knows anyone.
Whether it is Lady Tsunade, or Uchiha Itachi who is a rising star in Konoha and is famous, or Sasuke-kun, a genius of the same level, they all seem to have a close relationship with Brother Neji.
And now, because of that bizarre dream, I want to come here and find someone who may know the answer.
She had no reason to go in, and she was definitely not welcome.
But she had to make a choice now.
"Thank you, Xingshu-kun..." The girl's voice always seemed cowardly, but mixed with some looming tenacity: "But I can do it myself."
"Is that so? Then let's go in together."
The boy shook his shoulders indifferently and signaled Hinata to press the doorbell quickly.
Is the Serpent God doing something? Why did he choose such a weak and cowardly Hyuga Hinata to join the game?
Does she have some abilities that she herself is not aware of?
The doorbell rang, and the person who opened the door was naturally not Neji.
It is said to be a branch of the Hyuga family, but it has long been the world of another group of people.
"coming!"
Treating it as a shadow clone and letting the clone come out to open the door is what the woman is best at.
