Little Ones, Come Pay Your Respects to the Boss Lady
Cakes, cookies, Three-Color Dumplings, takoyaki, grilled squid, pan-fried pork cutlet, taiyaki, crepes, pudding, monjayaki...
All sorts of delicious food tumbled down from the sky with a "whoosh," sparkling like little stars, attracting the attention of every foodie present.
Even Hinata was incredibly tempted.
"It's food, brother!"
"It smells so good!"
The Wind God and the Thunder God caught all the food before it hit the ground with a speed completely disproportionate to their obese bodies.
'Smack smack...'
The Wind God and the Thunder God sat on the ground, eating heartily with expressions of pure bliss, completely forgetting that they had originally intended to escape from prison.
"Brother, this food is so delicious!"
"Idiot, if it's delicious, eat more!"
"I see! You truly are my elder brother!"
'Tread!'
Hinata landed lightly on the ground, walked up to the two fat men, touched her chin with her thumb and forefinger, and asked with a grin, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
'Smack smack...'
The two fat men ate by themselves, completely ignoring Hinata.
"Hey! I'm talking to you two..."
Hinata looked the Wind God and Thunder God up and down a few times, then chuckled and said, "If you two want to eat more delicious food, how about becoming my underlings?"
The Wind God and the Thunder God had absolutely no morals; their over two-meter-tall, obese bodies immediately prostrated themselves before Hinata.
"Boss!"
"Lizard!"
Hinata reached out her little hand and patted the two chubby boys, saying with a smile, "Let me tell you, my family is the richest in all of Konoha. If you join me, you can eat whatever you want, even if you eat until your stomach bursts!"
Thunder God suddenly looked at Wind God and asked innocently, "Brother, what about Big Brother?"
The Wind God scolded, "Idiot! If we follow Big Brother, we have to travel so far to get good food, but if we follow Big Sister, we can eat right now. Of course, we should follow Big Sister!"
Thunder God exclaimed admiringly, "Truly worthy of being my brother!"
Hinata patted the Wind God's big head, giving him a 'teachable' look, and said, "Well said!"
"However, from now on you can only have me as your boss. If you, as his underlings, don't show any loyalty, I won't feed you!"
The Wind God and the Thunder God nodded repeatedly, grinning as they looked at Hinata.
Hinata chuckled and said, "Alright! You two get up first!"
Asuma looked around and exclaimed, "Oh no, Mizuki has run away!"
Hinata waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I can handle those minor characters!"
"Teacher Asuma, Kurenai-sensei, I'm counting on you for this!"
Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi exchanged a glance, then nodded to Hinata.
Hinata's strength is more than enough to deal with Mizuki, but for Konoha right now, keeping an eye on these criminals and preventing them from committing crimes is the most important thing.
Hinata then took out a Sealing Scroll from her ninja tool pouch, tempting her with ill intent, "Wind God, Thunder God! Come on, Big Sister will take you to fight some monsters!"
"If you defeat the little monster, this will be your reward, how about it?"
Thunder God said in a simple and honest voice, "Thank you, Big Sister! Brother, Big Sister is so kind to us!"
The Wind God scolded, "Idiot! Hurry up and chase after them!"
Hinata her Byakugan and hissed, "You two, come with me!"
Mizuki hadn't gone too far, and Hinata, along with the Wind God and Thunder God, caught up with Mizuki in no time.
Before going to prison, Mizuki was just an ordinary cannon fodder Chunin.
After training in prison for so long, he's only an Elite Chunin at best.
Hinata didn't take Mizuki seriously, but in order to make her ninja career more fulfilling, she still wanted to give him a good beating.
Hinata, along with the Wind God and Thunder God, formed a triangular formation around Mizuki, blocking all of Mizuki's escape routes.
Mizuki stared coldly at Hinata, saying hatefully, "I never expected that in just a few months, you would have grown to this extent... You truly deserve to be called a top student, don't you?"
Hinata nodded in approval. "Well said!"
Mizuki: I'm being sarcastic, can't you tell?
Hinata looked at Mizuki calmly and said slowly, "Mizuki- sensei, after all, you taught me for a while before, so I don't want to beat you up too badly."
"Come back with me, you have nowhere to run!"
Mizuki's face was contorted with rage as he roared, as if venting his anger. "Go back? Go back to that cold, damp, sunless prison?"
"How could a young lady like you, born into a prestigious family and possessing exceptional talent, possibly understand the suffering of us ordinary ninjas?"
"From the moment you were born, you were valued by the entire Konoha. You possess a powerful Kekkei Genkai that allows you to learn any Ninjutsu at will. Even if you make a mistake, others will turn a blind eye and ignore it."
"But do you know how difficult it is for a ninja like me to survive in a village?"
Hinata fell silent upon hearing this.
An ordinary Chunin like Mizuki, who has no outstanding qualities, is practically Chunin in Konoha, and the higher-ups hardly ever give him a second glance.
They have no right to be willful. Being a teacher is alright, but if they go out on missions, they have to struggle to survive on the brink of life and death almost every day.
Hinata wasn't completely ignorant of these things.
In the early days of the ninja village, there was no such thing as a commoner ninja.
It was the Second Hokage who established the Ninja Academy, which gave ordinary people the right to learn Ninjutsu.
The rise of commoner ninjas has divided the power of ninja clans.
However, ninja clans are numerous and powerful, and they possess various powerful secret techniques. Even if power is divided equally, they remain high-ranking figures in the village.
Therefore, some ordinary ninjas with extreme personalities saw this as the ninja clans suppressing them and sending them on various suicide missions.
This is a class conflict, and Hinata can't resolve it with just a few words.
Furthermore, from the perspective of the ninja clan, Hinata couldn't really criticize Mizuki.
Mizuki only betrayed Konoha and wanted to join Orochimaru; he didn't steal Hyuga Clan.
No one is at fault.
It's just like what Pain said: You have your justice, and I have mine.
If Mizuki weren't considered a minor boss in the Novice Village, Hinata wouldn't have been interested in him at all.
"Wind God, Thunder God! Take him back!"
"Yes, boss!"
Mizuki's face contorted with rage as he roared, "Wind God, Thunder God! Don't you want to go to Lord Orochimaru's place and enjoy some delicacies?"
Hinata scoffed, "Tch! I even wiped out Orochimaru's Otogakure, where would Orochimaru find the money to treat everyone to a meal?"
Hinata, holding Sealing Scroll, tempted her, "Wind God, Thunder God! Mizuki is lying to you. Only by following me can you taste the real delicacy!"
Upon hearing this, the idiot brothers glared angrily at Mizuki.
Considering how much delicious food Hinata gave them, they felt that Hinata's words were more reliable.
"Brother, I want to hit my stomach."
"Okay! I'll go first!"
'Bang—bang—'
Mizuki was powerless to resist and collapsed on the spot.
