The Academy is an educational institution established by Konohagakure to nurture the next generation of shinobi.
Fundamentally, any child in the village with the talent for ninjutsu is sent here.
Even great clans like the Uchiha and the Hyuga are no exception.
“Yo, it’s you again.”
“Demon fox monster.”
“You’re a bad omen.
Why can’t you just stay home by yourself?”
After the morning classes on the first day of enrollment ended, Hinata finally rushed to the Academy to report.
Last night, her stomach had started rumbling in the middle of the night, so she crept out of bed to find food in the kitchen.
Not paying attention, she was caught by the patrolling shinobi, who reported it to Hiashi Hyuga.
The result was yet another completely useless lecture.
This was also the reason Hinata had missed the freshman entrance ceremony.
But just as she passed the teaching area, she caught the sound of people gossiping.
Glancing over, she saw three familiar figures surrounding another well-known silhouette.
It was Naruto Uzumaki and those three idiots from yesterday who didn’t recognize the Byakugan.
Hinata looked around.
There were quite a few people scattered nearby, but most of them remained entirely indifferent.
In fact, Hinata even spotted a few familiar faces among the crowd.
Seeing this, Hinata knit her brows.
“Stop right there!” Hinata barked, taking a massive stride forward.
This sudden shout drew the attention of everyone around, including Naruto and the three idiots, who all turned to look at her.
“It’s you?!” The faces of the three idiots instantly went pale when they saw Hinata.
“It’s you, you violent girl!” Naruto Uzumaki also recognized Hinata on the spot.
“It’s actually you three again!” Hinata cracked her knuckles as she walked toward them, her face completely unable to hide her eagerness to fight.
“That’s the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan…” Someone in the crowd already recognized Hinata’s identity.
“Could Lady Hinata be trying to help that demon fox?” someone else muttered, trying to guess her intentions.
Hinata’s behavior clearly indicated she wanted to help Naruto.
Otherwise, why would she stop those three from bullying him?
Looking at Hinata as she walked toward him against the backdrop of the light, Naruto’s face filled with disbelief, closely followed by a wave of deep gratitude.
Waaaah, I knew my first impression of her yesterday wasn’t wrong!
This girl really is a good person!
“Ah, well, Lady Hinata, I…” The three idiots were sweating bullets.
To begin with, the three of them combined couldn’t beat this young lady of the Hyuga clan.
Now, bolstered by the prestige of a great shinobi clan like the Hyuga, they completely lost their nerve.
“You guys call this bullying?!” Hinata declared, her face a mask of absolute righteousness.
“Move aside, let me do it!”
???
Wasn’t this young lady of the Hyuga clan trying to stop them from bullying the demon fox?
She actually wanted to do it herself?!
“Huh?” The three idiots froze upon hearing her words.
But right after, their expressions shifted rapidly into sycophantic grins. This story is hosted at g.com.
“Yes, yes, yes!
As expected of the Hyuga…”
Curse it all!
This bastard violent girl really isn’t a good person!
Naruto’s gratitude vanished in a single second.
He gnashed his teeth, glaring fiercely at Hinata.
“You…
you…
you three…
No, the four of you can just come at me together!” Hinata said nonchalantly, pointing her finger across the three idiots and Naruto.
Help Naruto?
What kind of joke was that?!
To completely eliminate any possibility of Naruto falling for her in the future, Hinata had to play the villain to the bitter end!
Since she couldn’t beat him to death, she would forge herself into the ultimate antagonist!
Even if there was only a microscopic sliver of a risk of becoming romantic canon, Hinata would sever it with a single stroke!
???
Everyone present looked at Hinata in utter shock.
No one expected that just because she felt the three idiots were bullying Naruto too lightly, this young lady of the Hyuga clan intended to take over personally.
And looking at her posture, she wanted to fight one-against-four?
“What?” Hinata scoffed mockingly, looking at the completely dazed trio.
“Yesterday you were calling me a Byakugan monster, and today you think you can act like nothing happened?
Do I look that easy to fool?”
Oh, so that’s what happened.
Never mind then…
The rest of the onlookers instantly understood why these three were being targeted by Hinata.
“But, but we…” The leader of the three idiots looked utterly distressed.
If they had known yesterday that she was the young lady of the Hyuga clan, would they have even bothered to bully anyone?
Running away as early as possible would have been the best move!
“Dammit!
You violent girl!
Wasn’t bullying me once enough?
You’re doing it again?!” Naruto barked angrily.
“I was trying to help you yesterday!”
“What are you babbling about, you idiot?
I just don’t like the look of you.
What’s wrong with giving you a couple of beatings?” Hinata said with complete indifference.
“Boss, should we run?” Seeing the bad turn of events, one of the three idiots suggested.
“We can’t run!” Naruto spoke up, his brain suddenly working at high speed as if hit by a burst of genius.
“We all go to school here.
You can run from the monk, but you can’t run from the temple!
Let’s risk it all against this violent girl!!”
“Hmm?” The leader of the three idiots heard this and actually found it quite reasonable.
“I didn’t expect a demon fox brat like you to figure that out.”
The leader quickly assessed the current situation, deeply surprised.
To be honest, the status of a great clan heir didn’t hold that much intimidation over the villagers of Konoha.
Even a figure like the White Fang faced blatant, public mockery from them, let alone Hinata, the young lady of the Hyuga.
“Well said!” the leader shouted, realizing Hinata wouldn’t let them off easily.
Their only hope for a peaceful future was to fight it out just like Naruto said.
Three-on-one, they couldn’t win.
But could they really lose a four-on-one?!
“Right, my name is Ada.
What’s yours?”
“Aer.”
“Asan.”
“I am Naruto Uzumaki!”
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
At this moment, the trio who had been at daggers drawn with Naruto just a second ago instantly formed an alliance to face their common foe.
“Ada, Aer, Asan?” Hinata complained, unable to resist criticizing them.
“What kind of stupid names are those?
Where is your princess?
Alright, enough talk.
Take this!”
Without a shred of hesitation, Hinata charged straight ahead!
“Dammit!”
“Don’t underestimate our bonds!” Ada roared in fury, taking the initiative to intercept Hinata’s fist squarely with his face!
Then, he went flying backward!
“Boss!”
“You wretched woman, I’ll kill you!”
Seeing Ada get laid out with a single punch, Aer and Asan swarmed forward without a second thought.
Aer used his stomach to solidly absorb one of Hinata’s palm strikes, while Asan used his rear to slam hard against Hinata’s incoming foot!
In the blink of an eye, Ada, Aer, and Asan were all lying on the ground, completely incapacitated.
“Dammit!” Naruto charged at Hinata, completely ignoring the massive gap in their strength out of sheer rage.
“Don’t bully them!
Our bond is unbreakable!”
Then, he caught Hinata’s spinning backkick squarely with his face!
Four-on-one, a total defeat without suspense.
“Like I said before,” Hinata said, dusting herself off.
“Go home and train for another hundred years!”
