A Day in the Life of Three Siblings

At the Konoha venue, Hinata sat in the audience, happily munching on a large pile of snacks in her arms.

A Genin stood below the venue; some were unfamiliar faces, while others were familiar faces to Hinata.

"The exam format hasn't changed at all!"

The Chunin Ninja Exams are held twice a year. Although the rules are different each time, they are generally the same.

Ninja-related knowledge, intelligence gathering, team missions, and individual battles.

'Click! Click!'

Hinata ate potato chips and said leisurely, "These are such nostalgic scenes!"

"After this, most of my classmates will be promoted to Chunin, right?"

Neji, sitting next to Hinata, disagreed, saying, "I heard that Sunagakure is about to elect its Fifth Kazekage. To showcase their national strength, Sunagakure will probably host the Joint Chunin Exam next year, and Konoha will also participate."

The Joint Chunin Exam all nations, is essentially a small-scale war. Wealthy individuals and nobles from various countries will come to watch the competition, and major Shinobi Village will send its best Genin to participate.

Konoha couldn't possibly ignore this, so they probably won't promote too many people in this Chunin Ninja Exams.

Compared to large-scale events like the Joint Chunin Exam various countries, the village doesn't care about titles like Genin or Chunin at all.

Hinata nodded slightly, realizing that this was also the case.

"The Fifth Kazekage? Any news?"

Neji shook his head and said, "Not yet. I heard that Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure will be in charge of the Five Kage Summit this time."

Hanabi said with a hint of envy, "I still don't know when I'll be able to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams."

Hinata patted Hanabi's head and gently comforted her, "Don't rush! You can participate after you graduate from the Ninja Academy! Besides, with your current strength, you're already strong enough to be promoted to Chunin, so it's okay if it's a little later."

The match began quickly.

Individual matches are basically one-on-one, with no fancy moves, but they're still quite interesting to watch occasionally.

Besides the villagers of Konoha, the audience also included some merchants and nobles from the Land of Fire. The ninja battle was very attractive to them, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Hinata glanced around a few times, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Neji looked at Hinata curiously and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which... why did you suddenly drag me and Hanabi to watch a match like this?"

Given Hinata's strength, the battles outside the arena would be nothing more than a bunch of weaklings fighting each other, and there probably wouldn't be much to watch.

Hinata muttered, "Of course it's for cheating!"

"Hey! Stop talking, watch the game!"

Hinata has placed a huge bet on this Chunin Ninja Exams, and is just waiting to count her winnings at the end.

However, gambling is often full of uncertainty, and the uncertainty in combat is even greater.

To ensure her victory, Hinata considered cheating, a path of no return.

We won!

After the first battle, Hinata was overjoyed; she had ten million ryo.

However, the second battle immediately took an unexpected turn. The Genin that Hinata favored seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. He looked strong and imposing, but in reality, he was just a toothpick and incredibly weak.

But this was no problem for Hinata.

Have you ever seen Natural Energy cheating?

Moreover, by using Natural Energy to cheat, even if all the sensory ninjas in Konoha were to combine their powers, they wouldn't be able to detect that Hinata secretly causing trouble.

At present, the only person in the Shinobi World who can find the flaw is probably Jiraiya.

We won!

Hinata cheered loudly, another ten million ryo in her hands.

Hinata missed the betting opportunity Chunin Ninja Exams, and she regretted it for a long time.

This time I finally made it.

To participate in the betting, Hinata secretly stole a large sum of money from the Hyuga Clan. If she won, she would become rich; if she lost... she might get a spanking from Hyuga Hiashi.

Neji looked at Hinata with a puzzled expression. "Why are you so happy that someone else won? You don't even know that person."

The ninja battle ended quickly, with all seven matches completed in less than an hour, and the winners were selected.

"It's completely not worth the ticket price!"

Hinata complained in a huff, "The village is really something. Those rich people go through all that trouble to come to Konoha just to watch a match that lasts less than an hour. It's such a waste."

"If you ask me, they should have played a hundred matches!"

Neji remained calm and bluntly stated the truth. "Hinata, you didn't participate in the betting, did you?"

Hinata: "..."

"Alright! The match is over, let's go eat!"

"My treat!"

Hinata, completely unfazed, pulled Neji and Hanabi out of the venue, ready to treat them to a big meal.

Hinata originally wanted to invite her classmates to have a meal together, but they always had missions, so it was difficult for them to get together.

At the BBQ Restaurant, Neji ruthlessly complained, "I don't know exactly how much you've earned, but treating us to barbecue... that's too stingy!"

Hinata glared at Neji and said disdainfully, "Then you go ahead and treat me!"

Hanabi was quite obliging, poking at the grilled meat with tongs, looking like he was about to drool.

What a poor child!

Hanabi is usually very polite and follows the rules. Hanabi daily routine consists of going to school and staying at home. She rarely goes out to play, let alone eats Konoha's delicacies.

Hyuga Hiashi absolutely forbade it.

Although the noble ladies may appear elegant, they don't have much joy in life.

"Is the Lord Hokage leaving for the Land of Iron tomorrow?"

Hinata asked a question out of the blue.

Neji nodded and said, "Yes! Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing?"

Hinata casually replied, "I was just asking..."

During the rare meal together of the three siblings, Hinata didn't want to talk about village affairs, as those matters had nothing to do with Hinata anyway.

"Hanabi, eat more!"

"Mmm!"

Hinata took care of Hanabi while indulging in Hanabi, feeling that her life was already complete.

However, Neji and Hanabi both have small appetites; the two of them combined don't even eat as much as Hinata.

In the end, Neji and Hanabi were just drinking juice while watching Hinata eat meat.

Hanabi touched Hinata's stomach with an incredulous look on her face. Hinata abdomen didn't bulge at all. This was simply unscientific and not Ninjutsu.

"This is the first time I've ever seen my sister eat so much..."

Hanabi suddenly remarked.

Hinata's hand, which was holding the meat, stiffened slightly. Her neck stiffened, and she mechanically turned her head to look at Hanabi: "Haven't you seen this before?"

Hanabi shook her head and said cutely, "I've only heard about it from others before."

Oh no, all that effort I put into maintaining that perfect image in front of Hanabi wasted (tears)!

Should we gouge out Danzo's eyes and give Hanabi Kotoamatsukami?

Furthermore, Neji also intends to kill someone to silence them...

Hanabi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying with amusement, "But this way, my older sister is much cuter."
