Following a Chunin to the Ninja Registration Office, Hinata completed the registration process to become Chunin and received a Chunin Vest.
"It's so ugly!"
Hinata said with a look of disgust, "Can I not wear it?"
The Chunin in charge of registering the documents said, "While it's possible, however..."
"No buts!"
Hinata firmly and resolutely declared, "I don't want to wear such ugly clothes!"
Hinata has already decided that she will grow her hair long and wear the Kaguya Otsutsuki's Robe, and then she will cosplay as Kaguya Otsutsuki.
No way! I'm Otsutsuki Hinata, how can I cosplay someone else?
That's so tasteless!
I am the true successor of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins and Kaguya Otsutsuki is reincarnated, Hinata wants to try to become related to Kaguya Otsutsuki first.
After all, they had already decided to use facial recognition to pass through.
We must make good use of this relative's connection.
In any case, Kaguya Otsutsuki is already very strong, so there is no need for her to take back all her Chakra. Her enemies are nothing more than a few people from the Otsutsuki clan.
If they join forces with Naruto, Sasuke, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, they might not be a match for the Otsutsuki clan.
Of course, if Kaguya Otsutsuki really won't listen to advice, then we can try sealing her away.
As for Hinata's current attire...
Although it might seem a bit old- Hinata had her own reasons.
Since it was already decided that Hinata would Kakashi Kakashi's Team 7, this outfit of Hinata was actually a cosplay of Rin Nohara.
Aside from the stockings and skirt being different, they're actually quite similar.
After all, they can't be exactly the same!
So when Kakashi visited the Hyuga residence and met Hinata for the first time, he was quite impulsive.
Although Hinata's intention was to please her boss, this pleasing definitely did not include being taken advantage of by her boss...
Let's leave the past behind for now. After all, Tsunade has already promised to avenge Hinata, and Hinata isn't a petty person. Let's put an end to her feud with Kakashi here!
"Huh? Hinata, you're back already?"
Hearing some familiar voices, Hinata turned around and said enthusiastically, "It's Uncle Shikaku and Shikamaru! Long time no see! Shikamaru, have you Chunin too?"
Shikamaru said listlessly, "Yeah! It seems like such a hassle."
Shikaku Nara greeted her, "Hinata, from now on, I'm entrusting my Shikamaru to your care!"
Hinata patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Shikaku- san! Shikamaru and I are classmates and colleagues, so we should look after each other!"
Shikaku Nara helped Shikamaru with the formalities. Shikamaru leaned closer and whispered, "Hinata, I just saw Naruto and the others. That woman... is she really the Fifth Hokage?"
Hinata glanced at Shikamaru and scoffed, "What? That's my big sister, you have a problem with that?"
Shikamaru waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head, saying, "No! No! I think she's the most suitable person to be Hokage."
Shikaku Nara shook his head helplessly when he heard the commotion behind him.
Shikamaru is destined to be afraid of women!
It's really worrying. What will we do after we get married?
After completing the formalities, Shikaku Nara waved to Shikamaru and said, "You haven't finished your business yet! I'm going back now, or your mom will scold me again!"
Shikamaru pursed his lips, feeling a sense of powerlessness. It seemed that Konoha was about to enter an era of women's rights...
"Hinata, our Team Ten is going to celebrate my promotion to Chunin together. Your Team 7 probably hasn't made any preparations yet! Do you want to come along?"
Hinata checked the time.
It was only a little past eleven o'clock. The dinner he had arranged with Tsunade was in the evening, and it was lunchtime now, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you for the invitation."
Shikamaru said, "Then let's go quickly!"
"Wait a minute!"
Hinata turned to the Chunin in charge of logging the files and asked, "By the way, was this ninja disguise given to me?"
The Chunin: "Yes! But if you don't want it..."
Hinata smiled and said, "That's right. If I don't want it, I can sell it to the village. Here... take this, pay up!"
Chunin: "..."
Shikamaru couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead. Where am I? Who am I? What am I supposed to do?
Did I just act like I was very familiar with Hinata?
You're mistaken, I'm actually not familiar with her at all!
On the way to the BBQ Restaurant, Hinata carefully counted the money from Chunin Vest... a total of 1,800 ryo.
This is no ordinary vest.
Wearing this vest not only allows for easy movement and provides good defense, but it can also hold a lot of ninja tools without looking bulky. It's simply the perfect piece of equipment for home, travel, and even killing.
It's just that her looks aren't great.
Throughout the entire journey, Shikamaru didn't say a single word to Hinata was also immersed in the joy of earning money without having to do any missions.
"Arrive!"
Asuma walked into the BBQ Restaurant and his face turned green when he saw Hinata next to Shikamaru.
I didn't offend Shikamaru, did I? Why did he bring Hinata along?
One Choji was enough, and now we have Hinata, whom even Choji has to admit Hinata...
"Teacher Asuma, it's been a long time! And Ino and Choji, hello there too!"
Hinata greeted Ino familiarly, then sat down next to Ino and waited for the barbecue to be served.
Ino looked at Shikamaru and teased him with a grin, "You, who are always so unmotivated, actually seem to be doing quite well now!"
Shikamaru's face flushed slightly, and he said angrily, "Have you laughed enough? Hinata has also been promoted to Chunin this time..."
Ino looked at Hinata and asked curiously, "Hinata, why aren't you wearing a ninja vest?"
Hinata pouted and said, "It's too ugly!"
Asuma laughed and said, "The ninja vest may not look very good, but it's still very practical."
Hinata sneered, "Teacher Asuma, if we're talking about practicality, Teacher Might Guy's bodysuit is far more practical. It's comfortable, breathable, and allows for easy movement. Why don't you ever wear a bodysuit?"
"If you dare to wear a tight-fitting outfit, I bet Ms. Hong will break up with you right away!"
Asuma: "..."
Ino chimed in, "Hinata is right. If I become Chunin, I don't want to wear such an ugly vest either."
The grilled meat was served, Asuma used tongs to place the pork belly on the grill. Then, he picked up his juice and said, "Come on! Let's toast to Shikamaru and Hinata becoming Chunin!"
Choji hurriedly said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Asuma said helplessly, "Choji, let's eat after we've finished toasting!"
Hinata watched the lively scene in Team Ten with a hint of envy, and said sadly, "Sigh! Ino, I really envy your Team Ten. You have such a good relationship. Unlike us in Team 7, it's so hard to even get Teacher Kakashi to treat us to a meal!"
Shikamaru thought to himself, "You only think our Team Ten is good because Asuma always treats us to meals..."
Kakashi's house.
"Ah Qiu—"
Kakashi, who was sitting on the windowsill watching "Icha Icha Paradise," suddenly sneezed and unconsciously scratched his head.
"What's going on? Why do I have this ominous feeling?"
