After defeating Zabuza and Haku, the rest of the journey passed without incident.
Tazuna's home was a two-story wooden villa by the sea. Hinata looked around, and although the house was somewhat old, it had the warm feeling of a home.
That liar Tazuna actually dared to pretend he was poor.
A two-story seaside villa like this would have been the privilege of the super-rich in Hinata's previous life!
Seeing that Hinata was still sulking, Kakashi walked over and said with slight helplessness, "Hinata, you're already a ninja. You'll encounter all kinds of unexpected situations during missions in the future. That kind of attitude won't do."
Hinata huffed. "It's not that I'm scared! It's just that the pay is too low."
"Does a young lady from a wealthy clan lack spending money too?" Kakashi held his forehead helplessly. "Besides, you've seen Mr. Tazuna's family situation. They really can't afford any more payment. Hinata, you're already twelve. Even Naruto has become sensible, and you..."
"What?" Hinata raised her tone in surprise. "You said you wanted the house? No way! If we take their house, won't Uncle Tazuna's family have nowhere to live?"
Tazuna had originally come to invite Kakashi and Hinata to eat, but upon hearing Hinata's words, he stopped in his tracks before quickly backing away and vanishing without a trace.
This topic was a little hard to respond to. Better to pretend he hadn't heard anything.
Kakashi looked at Hinata, and Hinata looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi bent down, placed both hands on Hinata's shoulders, and said seriously, "As long as you're happy!"
Hinata asked quietly, "Then will you go ask Uncle Tazuna for the house?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes.
I thought you were just teasing me. I didn't expect you to actually plan on asking them for their house.
