Morning.
Naruto's door was suddenly pushed open, and Naruto, with an anxious expression, rushed out of the house.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late!"
With a piece of bread in his mouth, Naruto leaped off the building and quickly flipped onto the roof.
For Naruto, who had been training for several months, this movement was now incredibly smooth and effortless.
Naruto was running at full speed and leaping over a rooftop, glanced at the alley below and immediately stopped.
That girl... seems to be his classmate?
In the alley, a timid girl was backing away step by step in fear.
Three unruly children surrounded her, pointing and staring into her eyes.
"Hey boss, what's wrong with her eyes? They look really scary."
"Hmph, it's probably a monster. How could a normal person's eyes look like that?"
A snotty-nosed kid standing nearby asked with a face full of curiosity.
The boy in the lead was taken aback when asked the question, but then replied nonchalantly.
As commoner children, they had no idea, or rather, never had the chance to see the Hyuga Clan.
The girl before them was the eldest princess of the Hyuga Clan of Konoha.
Naruto, who had been wondering what was going on, heard the words of the boy in charge.
His face darkened immediately; after a long time, he had heard that word again.
It's important to know that this happened after Naruto started training with Hagoromo.
Those kids who dared to call him a monster in the past were all brought to his door and beaten up by him.
This also led to the adults, despite being bound by the Third Hokage's strict orders, still harboring hostility towards Naruto.
However, Naruto didn't care, since he couldn't make everyone like him.
This is also what Teacher Hagoromo taught him: there's no need to care too much about what others think.
However, it's just that a little girl is being said that.
But Naruto was really annoyed.
This girl is so cute! Even though her eyes are white, her face is round.
Moreover, it was a classmate from my own class.
Thinking of this, Naruto immediately flipped over and jumped off the roof.
He landed firmly between the girl and the three mischievous children and spoke.
"You guys, three boys bullying one girl, don't you think that's going too far?"
The boy in the lead was startled by Naruto's sudden jump and shouted angrily, "What's it to you, you bearded monster!"
Ga--
The two boys, who were about to pull their eldest brother back, turned pale upon hearing this.
Their leader had just moved from a remote area, and due to his physique, he became the new leader in the area.
The boy in the lead didn't know Naruto, but the other two did.
After all, Naruto had once come to his door and beaten him up.
"Heh, so you're pretty brave, huh?"
When Naruto heard the boy at the front address him like that, his displeasure reached its peak.
"That's right, everyone around here knows me, Little Tyrant!"
The boy in the lead, thinking Naruto was praising him, smugly wiped his nose and said...
He didn't even notice that the two unruly kids who were following behind him were almost back to the entrance of the alley.
The two children, whose faces were already pale, turned and ran without hesitation upon hearing this.
If you don't leave now, you're definitely going to get beaten up!
Sure enough, the two boys who had just run out of the alley heard a scream coming from their new boss.
The two were so frightened that they stumbled and quickly sped away.
In the alley, Naruto was speechless as he looked at the boy lying on the ground, clutching his nose and howling in agony.
He hadn't expected that such a light punch would make the guy cry like this.
Although his nose was already unattractive, Naruto so hard it was bent crooked.
But Naruto felt he hadn't vented his anger enough.
Seeing the boy's expression, Naruto felt embarrassed to continue and simply said coldly, "If you keep howling, I'll beat you up!"
Upon hearing this, the mischievous child immediately stood up and quickly fled the alley.
After seeing that the person had left, Naruto turned around and looked at the girl behind him.
Are you alright?
After saying that, Naruto reached out and helped up the girl who had been startled and squatted on the ground after he jumped down.
"No... it's okay, thank you!"
Hinata Hyuga stood up and shook her head timidly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
After all, Naruto was holding her hand at that moment.
"Wow, your eyes are so beautiful!"
It was only then that Naruto noticed the girl's eyes.
After Hinata, he only had a vague impression of Hinata as a classmate, and had never really seen her in person.
Hinata was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Naruto with some surprise.
Aren't you afraid of my eyes?
After all, she was surrounded just now because these three boys saw her eyes when she was confirming her location.
Why be afraid? It's clearly beautiful!
Naruto said this in a completely nonchalant tone, somewhat puzzled as to why his classmate would ask such a strange question.
If Hagoromo were here now, he would have to admit that he truly deserves to be the offspring of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Both father and son have such a talent for flirting with girls.
Could this kind of thing really be hereditary?
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and we're in the same class!"
Naruto extended his hand and formally introduced himself.
Hinata, who was still immersed in Naruto's words, was also stunned and looked up in disbelief.
She naturally knew Naruto; after all, Naruto, who had the strongest presence in the class, was hard to forget.
She was the most invisible person in the class, yet Naruto actually remembered her.
"Um... my name is Hinata Hyuga, thank you so much for today."
Naruto patted his chest nonchalantly and said confidently, "I'm going to be Hokage, no need to thank me for something so trivial."
A confident tone, and a figure as radiant as the rising sun.
Hinata was looking at Naruto, felt a flicker of emotion in her eyes, her heart suddenly filled with that figure.
It feels so warm...
And I wish I could be as confident as Naruto.
"Hey, are you lost?"
After Naruto finished speaking, he saw Hinata standing in front of him, looking stunned.
He waved his hand in front of Hinata's eyes and asked.
Hinata, only to find her cheeks, which had just recovered, burning hot again.
He nodded, responding in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Naruto scratched his head after receiving the reply, as he was in a hurry to get to the training grounds.
"Where do you live? Do you know?"
"This is the Hyuga Clan's territory. I accidentally got separated from my clansmen, so I'm looking for them."
Hinata was also a little confused; she rarely went out, so she didn't quite remember how to get back.
Well, upon hearing about the Hyuga Clan, Naruto gave up, because he didn't know where they were either.
"That's right! Go find Teacher Hagoromo, he should know!"
Naruto, who was still troubled, punched his right fist into his left palm and shouted.
"Eh? Hagoromo... teacher?"
Hinata, momentarily taken aback by Naruto's words, asked in confusion.
"Yes, Hinata, hurry up."
After saying that, Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and quickly headed towards the training ground.
This time he didn't jump around on the rooftops, after all, Hinata might not be able to keep up.
