“Damn it!”
After seeing that unfamiliar Hyuga branch family Ninja, Akali felt a knot in her heart and hurriedly looked at Hinata.
She had sent off Sasuke, sent off Naruto, but surely she wouldn’t have to send off Hinata too, right?
Don’t let that happen!
Unfortunately, Murphy’s Law always takes effect at the most critical moments, and this was no exception.
As Akali looked at Hinata, Hinata looked back.
The previously spirited Hinata now had a dejected expression:
“Akali, I’m sorry, I might not have time to go to the hot springs with you today!”
“Father sent someone to pick me up. The person who came is Uncle Wada, who is usually responsible for Father’s security detail; he wouldn’t come out unless it was something important.”
“So…”
Hinata didn’t finish her sentence, but Akali understood what she meant.
Hinata had to go.
“Alright, you don’t need to say it, Hinata, I understand!” Akali sighed.
Although she had anticipated it, now that Hinata had actually said it, Akali could only smile bitterly.
It must be said, today really was just unlucky.
Could it be that the big harvest she had when she first arrived at the school had exhausted her luck for the entire day?
Akali was a bit suspicious; it wasn’t impossible.
No one could win, win, win from start to finish.
But she also knew that all lack of freedom was because the person in question wasn’t strong enough.
If Hinata were a genius girl famous since childhood like Hanabi, then this Ninja from the branch family, who reported directly to Hiashi, would never dare to face Hinata with such an attitude.
If Akali had the fame and strength of Naruto and Sasuke later on, even if Hiashi were gone today, the Hyuga people wouldn’t dare to disturb her time with Hinata.
But unfortunately, Hinata wasn’t a genius girl, and Akali wasn’t strong enough yet.
Precisely because of this, they just wanted to go to the hot springs, but they couldn’t even get such a small thing to go their way!
An unprecedented desire to become stronger ignited in Akali’s heart.
Akali decided that her next operations should be more aggressive; she had been too conservative before.
Of course, that was a matter for later.
Because the one who was most upset right now definitely wasn’t her, who couldn’t cuddle, but Hinata, who was about to be forcibly called back.
So Akali took the initiative to hold Hinata’s hand: “It’s okay, Hinata, it’s just not going to the hot springs, right? We are still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, there’s no need to be depressed at all.”
“The graduation exam is in a month. Let’s work hard during this time, and it will be fine once we both become Ninjas.”
“By then, we can even call Sakura, Ino, and the others, and have a hot spring girls’ party!”
“How about it, are you looking forward to it?” Akali asked with a smile.
Of course, she didn’t know if Hinata was looking forward to it, but Sakura and the others would likely have their mentalities collapse twice by then.
Akali withdrew her gaze from Hinata’s chest and shifted her eyes slightly downward, where the tips of her dainty lotus-like feet appeared.
But, it was only the tips of her shoes.
That was the reason.
Compared to Sakura and the others, whose physical development relied solely on genetics and nutrition—and who could easily gain weight—Akali, with her system-guaranteed physical development, had really won by too much.
Of course, this brought Hinata to mind.
Even though she didn’t eat enough, the nutrients still went to her chest; anyone would be weak with that!
Akali secretly made up her mind to persuade Hinata to eat more every day later and not to starve herself.
Otherwise, what would she eat in the future?
The fun would be reduced by more than half!
While waiting for Hinata to react, Akali’s thoughts were running wild…
Fortunately, Hinata, who didn’t have a mind-reading system, quickly came back to her senses.
With Akali’s comfort, her mood eased a lot.
Thinking of the scene Akali described, with a group of sisters holding a girls’ party at the hot springs, Hinata’s eyes revealed a bit of longing.
“Then, it’s a promise!”
“Next time there’s a chance, let’s call everyone together and hold a hot spring girls’ party!”
Hinata’s voice carried a hint of strange spirit.
At the same time, a trace of determination slowly emerged in Hinata’s heart.
She had to work hard; she never wanted to be ordered around by her family like this again!
The Hinata at the hot spring girls’ party would definitely be a brand-new Hinata!
Of course, Hinata wouldn’t forget Akali either.
Looking at Akali, Hinata made a decision!
A transformation was born right then and there!
[Ding, emotion points from Hinata +9999!]
A massive amount of emotion points appeared in Akali’s system!
Seeing this income of emotion points, Akali knew roughly what had happened to Hinata!
Therefore, Akali’s mood also improved.
“Okay, okay, okay, okay!”
Akali nodded frantically, expressing her sincere yearning for the hot spring girls’ party.
Seeing Akali’s eager, almost masculine expression, Hinata couldn’t help but chuckle.
Afterward, she gently tidied up Akali’s hair, which had become disheveled from their playfulness, and waved her hand.
“See you next time, Akali!”
“See you next time, Hinata!”
“Oh right, one more thing!”
Akali chased after Hinata in a few steps and whispered something into her ear.
The content wasn’t actually anything special; it was probably just telling Hinata to eat well and not to let the children go hungry in the future.
Hearing Akali’s whisper, Hinata’s pretty face flushed slightly, but she didn’t say anything, just gave Akali a reproachful glare and lightly patted her.
But this time, it was truly a farewell.
Akali sent Hinata off and checked the time; it was only noon.
The wonderful day she had planned had ended up with nothing to do by noon, which was quite sigh-inducing.
However, thinking about it carefully, Akali still had things to do.
She went to Ichiraku Ramen, spent 60 ryo to pack a bowl of ramen, and then quickly returned home.
While eating the ramen, Akali called out the system: “System, display my emotion points balance!”
[Ding, host command detected, current emotion points balance is: 129,384]
“Hiss!”
Looking at the emotion points balance that had reached a massive 120,000, Akali gasped!
And then…
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!”
A flustered Akali took out a tissue and wiped the ramen broth that had choked out of the corner of her mouth.
Damn, she forgot she was slurping noodles!
However, Akali no longer cared about the discomfort caused by the mere broth.
Because she now completely understood why she couldn’t go to the hot springs with Hinata today!
Let’s put it this way: before today, Akali’s emotion points only came from the battle with Sasuke, which was about ten thousand to nearly twenty thousand.
But now?
120,000!
Almost 130,000!
That meant she had gained 100,000 emotion points in just half a day today!
So, don’t say anything now.
Going all-in is a form of wisdom.
Right now, there were only two words in Akali’s mind!
Time to draw!
