"Wow, Dad's going to become good friends with Brother Naruto? That's great!" Hanabi cried happily from Naruto's arms.
Ignoring the child's fussing, Hyuga Hiashi's face immediately darkened when he heard Naruto's argument. He never should have let Naruto in to meet him. The Hokage's status was useless against this.

Hyuga Hiashi hurriedly asked his eldest daughter, Hinata, to see Naruto-kun out. Hearing Naruto personally acknowledge his relationship with Hinata and say that he wanted to marry her, Hyuga Hiashi finally relaxed.
This was exactly the outcome he wanted. After
