As Foreign Guests

Kakashi gave Hinata a strange look, Hinata shrugged and glanced at Kakashi with disdain.

"I probably caught it from you!"

Whether fatigue is contagious is a very serious topic, but that's not what we're going to discuss today.

After being a couch potato for so long, Hinata finally has a new mission... to go to Sunagakure to attend Gaara's Kazekage inauguration ceremony.

As for why Tsunade sent her, Hinata didn't bother to think about it.

The desert scenery is beautiful too; the lone smoke rises straight from the desert, and the setting sun hangs round over the long river. Everyone else gets a paid vacation, but Hinata not only gets a paid vacation this time, she also gets to earn money.

After returning home and having a good night's sleep, Hinata appeared at the Konoha Gate at seven o'clock sharp the next morning.

Of course, this so-called "7 o'clock sharp" refers to Hinata's own watch... As for what time other people's watches are, that's none of Hinata's business.

Kakashi lived up to his reputation as the "King of Lateness," Hinata before Kakashi did.

Tsunade clearly already knew what kind of people Hinata and Kakashi were. Although she kept saying that she would be waiting for Hinata and Kakashi at the Konoha Gate at seven o'clock in the morning, Hinata had asked the gatekeepers, Izumo and Kotetsu, and they admitted that they hadn't seen the Lord Hokage for many days.

"Teacher Kakashi, you're late again!"

Hinata pointed at Kakashi, her face full of displeasure. Kakashi had arrived even later than the girls; no wonder he was still single.

"Ah! I've lost my way on the path of life." Kakashi's reply was utterly insincere.

After dawdling for quite a while, Hinata and Kakashi finally set off at 'Hinata time' past nine o'clock... Konoha time was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Actually, Kakashi wasn't too late, but it was already Konoha Kakashi when he arrived, Hinata and Kakashi found a restaurant and had a meal together.

Hinata hadn't gone far from Konoha when she looked at Kakashi with a sleepy expression.

"Teacher Kakashi, how about we find a place to adjust to the time difference? Otherwise we'll be too tired when we get to Sunagakure."

Hinata felt that there must be a time difference between her and Kakashi's time and Konoha's time, just like Beijing time and New York time.

Although Kakashi was also weak and listless, he firmly and righteously rejected Hinata's suggestion.

"Hinata, if we hurry, we can sleep until we reach Sunagakure..."

At this point, Kakashi coughed lightly, bent down and whispered mysteriously in Hinata's ear, "We are envoys from Konoha, and we will receive preferential treatment in Sunagakure!"

"I see!"

Hinata's eyes lit up, "Teacher Kakashi is brilliant!"

The Original Story work proves more than once that Kakashi's true nature is that of a stingy person.

The time Kakashi, Yamato, Naruto were training Naruto in Rasenshuriken, they ate noodles together. Although Kakashi had agreed to Kakashi, he insisted on Yamato the bill as a "senior."

Chakra wings materialized behind him, and a Chakra arm extended out to wrap around Kakashi... It looked like wings and a tail!

"Teacher Kakashi, I'll take you flying!"

Chakra erupted from her feet, and her Chakra wings flapped rapidly as Hinata soared into the sky, carrying Kakashi as they sped towards Sunagakure.

Hinata flew ahead, while Kakashi was dangling behind Hinata.

Seeing that Hinata hadn't activated her Byakugan, Kakashi carefully checked his wallet; thankfully, the little money inside was safe.

Kakashi actually prefers to take on dangerous missions with Hinata rather than these diplomatic missions... because that way, Kakashi can openly take Hinata to live in a cave.

"But..."

Seeing Hinata's relaxed demeanor, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

The last time he went on a mission with Hinata needed to activate her Byakugan to unleash Chakra from her entire body, but now he doesn't even need to activate his Byakugan.

"You've made such rapid progress!"

Kakashi felt a mix of emotions; while he was pleased, he also felt a sense of pride that a new generation was surpassing the old.

Young people grow up too fast, which often makes the older generation feel a lack of accomplishment.

"But I haven't been doing nothing during this time!"

Kakashi has been secretly working hard lately, especially when he went to Sunagakure with Hinata last time Kakashi. Hinata mentioned the idea of integrating Yin Release into Lightning Release, which gave Kakashi a lot of inspiration.

For Kakashi, who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, mastering Yin Release is not actually difficult.

Hinata sped along, her Chakra abundant, and disregarding its consumption, and in just three hours, the outline of Sunagakure appeared faintly in Hinata field of vision.

"Teacher Kakashi, do you think we can just fly straight into the village?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Don't be too arrogant, or we'll get attacked!"

Hinata a soft hum.

"Then let them give it a try!"

Despite saying that, Hinata still landed before the Skyline Gorge in Sunagakure. Before landing, Hinata shouted, "Sunagakure! I, Hinata Hyuga, am back! Come out and greet me!"

The Sunagakure did indeed come out to greet them, and there was a large group of them.

There were probably hundreds of them at first glance, and they all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Some even drew their Shuriken, ready for battle.

"Ahem! Excuse me, we are envoys from Konoha, invited to Sunagakure to attend the Kazekage's inauguration ceremony!"

Kakashi stepped forward calmly to explain.

Having known Hinata for so long, Kakashi has witnessed countless dramatic situations. Although there's still some awkwardness, Kakashi has learned to remain Shisui and accept everything with equanimity.

No matter how embarrassing something is, you'll get used to it.

A Sand Ninja Village ninja stepped forward, his face expressionless. "Please show your Konoha identification."

Hinata turned to look at Kakashi, Kakashi took out two pieces of paper and handed them to the Sand Ninja.

After inspecting them, Sand Ninja said, "Please come in with me, you two!"

The Sunagakure has a special place to receive foreign guests. The Sand Ninja arranged two rooms for Hinata and Kakashi and briefly explained the precautions.

"If the two from Konoha have any further needs, they can speak with the Chunin Shingetsu who is in charge here."

Hinata and Kakashi exchanged a glance: Who should speak?

Kakashi naturally thought that such shameless things should be left to Hinata, since Hinata was experienced and could make all sorts of unreasonable demands without batting an eye.

Hinata always believed that as a gentle girl, she should always consider her image as a young lady.

Besides, Hinata is now a super strong Shinobi World, even more famous than Kakashi. How could she make such a shameful request as "I want to eat a big meal, soak in a hot spring, and have a spa"?

Hinata and Kakashi were locked in a fierce standoff, their eyes practically blazing with fury.

"Cough cough!"

The Sand Village named Kamizuki Chunin lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. "The two from Konoha have come from afar, they probably haven't had dinner yet... How about we try some of the specialties of our Land of Wind?"

Hinata and Kakashi instantly relaxed.

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?!
