After saying goodbye to Naruto and Sasuke, Hinata carried Hanabi and returned to the Hyuga Clan with Neji.
As for why she was carrying her, it was because Hanabi did not want to go home so early and was preparing to slip away, but she failed, and was grabbed by the scruff of her neck by Hinata.
“Sister, can I walk on my own?” Hanabi was currently being held by Hinata like a caught kitten.
“No.
I am afraid you will sneak off again.” Hinata said this in the gentlest tone, but with the most ruthless words.
“But I am the second young miss of the Hyuga Clan!
If people see me like this, how can I face anyone in the future?” Hanabi started struggling frantically, looking just like a kitten trying to break free from a merciless iron grip.
However, Hinata ignored her and continued carrying her sister as she walked home.
Neji, following behind, had his eyelids twitching wildly; today’s Hinata made him feel like a stranger, and this appearance was truly too scary.
When they returned to the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi was already waiting at the door, but seeing his elder daughter carrying his younger daughter made his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
Honestly, Hiashi did not feel it was strange, and aside from being a little speechless, he did not think there was anything abnormal about the scene.
After all, anyone who had spent a long time in contact with Naruto was more or less a bit abnormal, and these people did not even realize it themselves, nor did they think there was a problem.
His daughter, Hinata, used to be a girl who spoke softly, was quite insecure, and was extremely introverted.
After interacting with Naruto, although she still spoke gently and usually appeared virtuous, she had also developed a temper of her own.
Hiashi had once been fortunate enough to see Hinata disciplining Hanabi, and that sight had startled him as he hid on the side watching.
His nephew, Neji, had originally been a serious and cold person, filled with hatred for the Main Branch in his heart, and constantly thinking about taking revenge on the Main Branch.
After interacting with Naruto, he became much more cheerful, even a bit goofy, turning his hatred into motivation and focusing entirely on strengthening himself to find a way to remove the Caged Bird.
Yes, Neji wanted to remove the Caged Bird, and Naruto had promised to help him, although Neji held doubts about it, it did not stop him from trusting Naruto once.
After all, in Neji’s view, although Naruto was unreliable, he always kept his word, and his miraculous food had made him much stronger; otherwise, he might not necessarily be able to beat Hinata now.
Hiashi was noncommittal about Neji’s approach; he actually did not like the current system either, but as the clan head, he could not find a way to protect the Byakugan and could only go with the flow.
As for Hizashi’s letter, it had been given to Neji a year ago, and now, although the uncle and nephew were not too close, Neji no longer hated Hiashi’s family.
“You three, come with me.”
After Hiashi finished speaking, he turned and walked into the house, but as he walked, he felt something was not quite right.
Hiashi looked back and found no one behind him; he suspiciously activated his Byakugan to look, only to find Hinata and the others walking in another direction.
This angered Hiashi quite a bit, and he used a Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of the three.
Hinata and Hanabi were talking about something, while Neji was walking with his head down, his right hand resting on his chin, deep in thought while following the Hinata sisters.
Veins were popping on Hiashi’s forehead; he was just about to speak when Hinata and Hanabi bumped into him, knocking him back a step.
“…Where do you three want to go?” Hiashi steadied himself, suppressing the urge to beat them up, and asked coldly.
“Ah, Father, weren’t we following behind you the whole time?” Hanabi rubbed her head, which had been bumped and was a bit sore, and said.
why don’t you look at your surroundings before saying that?” Hiashi rubbed his brows; honestly, if it were not for the Hyuga Clan’s good upbringing, he would have already cursed out loud.
The three of them looked around, then looked at Hiashi, who was currently activating his Byakugan and emitting cold air from his whole body, and could not help but shiver, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
“If you go the wrong way again, you will be dealt with by family law!” Yes, family law, not clan rules.
Hiashi left a cold sentence and turned to walk away.
The three of them exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.
After arriving at the main hall, Hiashi sat directly on the main seat, while the three siblings knelt before him.
“I called you here today to ask you, what are your thoughts regarding the clan heir?”
Regarding the Hyuga Clan’s heir, it should have been Hinata, but now that Hinata’s heart was entirely on Naruto, Hiashi was afraid that if he really let Hinata inherit the family business, the Hyuga Clan would be packed up by Hinata and handed over to Naruto overnight.
As for Hanabi, this girl only had her sister in her heart; besides her sister, no one else was important, and even if it was him, this father, if he let her inherit the family business, it might end up in Naruto’s hands in the end.
As for Neji, actually, it was not impossible; the Caged Bird was not something that could not be removed, it was just that the method of removal was only known to the successive clan heads.
However, if it were really removed, he was afraid that other clansmen would riot, and given the relationship between Neji and Naruto, it was hard to say whether the Hyuga Clan would still end up in Naruto’s hands by then.
Hiashi thought of this and nearly collapsed; why did this Naruto seem to be everywhere?
It was so annoying…
Looking at Hiashi’s constipated expression, the three siblings looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
“Um, Clan Head, this question does not seem to have anything to do with me, right?
Can I leave first?” Neji looked at the Hinata sisters, then at Hiashi, and said.
“Call me Uncle!
Also, you are also a candidate, don’t think about running.” Hiashi glared at Neji and scolded.
“No, why don’t you look at what this is before you say that?” Neji pulled off the bandage on his forehead, pointed at the Caged Bird mark, and said speechlessly.
“I have my own plans for this.
Anyway, don’t think about running, just stay here honestly.” After speaking, Hiashi stopped looking at Neji and turned to look at Hinata.
“Hinata, what do you say?”
“Um, whatever Father decides is fine, I am okay with anything.” Hinata lowered her head and said cautiously.
“Look up and state your true thoughts.
You only have this one chance.” Hiashi said in a stern tone.
Hinata took a few deep breaths, then slowly looked up, her Byakugan activating unconsciously.
“Father, I want to be with Naruto.
Although I do not mind inheriting the family, I am afraid I will not be able to help myself from beating up those few old stubborn fools.”
Hinata’s tone was firm, carrying a trace of killing intent, and a bit of dignity.
This daughter’s courage was getting bigger and bigger; although he could not stand those old fogies either, was it really okay to say it so directly?
He waved his hand wearily, then looked at Hanabi.
Hanabi saw her father looking at her, pointed at herself, and asked with a confused face.
“Me?”
Hiashi did not speak, nodding to signal.
“I do not want it.
Sister is here, and you also said Neji is also one of the heirs, I do not want to be tied up in the clan.” Hanabi pouted, her tone full of disdain for inheriting the family business.
Hiashi rubbed his temples with a headache; he just did not understand, the Hyuga Clan was at least the number one clan in Konoha, why did these three dislike the Hyuga Clan one after another?
Was the Hyuga Clan really that hated by its clansmen?
Hmm, it seemed quite hateful; after all, he did not like these broken clan rules either.
“Sigh, alright, you guys can go.” Hiashi waved his hand wearily, signaling the three could get lost.
“Okay!”
The three said in unison, got up, and walked out the door; their cheerful steps made Hiashi especially want to take two blood pressure pills.
“Sister, there’s a lantern festival tonight, will you accompany me to play?” After going out, Hanabi pulled her sister’s hand and started acting coquettishly.
“Okay, then I will call Naruto along.” Hinata said with a smile.
“Ah?
Why?
Can’t just the three of us go?” Hanabi said unhappily.
“Three?
I have to go too?” Neji pointed at himself; he had no interest in this, he just wanted to cultivate and become stronger.
From Hiashi’s words just now, he got a piece of information that the Caged Bird could be removed, so he wanted to grow up quickly and find a way to get the removal method.
“Yes, we three have never gone out to play together.” Hanabi looked at Neji with hope; she looked just like a coquettish kitten.
“Fine, fine then.” Neji looked at Hanabi’s appearance, unable to say no, and could only agree helplessly.
“Yay!
Sister, what about you?” Hanabi jumped up happily and looked at Hinata with the same gaze.
“Okay, then the three of us will go together.”
