Hinata and Roman Research Together? Could She Get Pregnant?! Hinata's Mother's Worries!

After a long silence, Hyuga Hiashi spoke, lifting his head to look at Roman and asking a question: "That Gentle Fist Acupoint Striking Method you just used—when did you learn it?"

"The Gentle Fist acupoint striking technique, of course I learned it from Hinata." Roman replied with a light grin: "After all, before I met Hinata, I was just a guy selling handicrafts on the streets of Konoha."

"Not that selling handicrafts is bad, but for me, life in the Hyuga Clan is much easier, much more open and free."

"If I can get even closer to Hinata in the future, that'd be even better."

"Oh my, oh my..."

Hinata's mother heard this, raised a hand to cover her mouth, and let out a soft chuckle.

In Hinata's mother's eyes, this young man Roman wasn't just good-looking.

More crucially, without any Chakra, he had defeated Neji, the genius of the Hyuga Branch Family—this might truly change Hiashi's mind and make him acknowledge Roman.

As for Hyuga Hiashi beside them, he automatically filtered out the latter half of Roman's words about seeking progress, his mind churning:

Just as I thought.

My earlier judgment was spot on.

Roman is indeed a genius at learning combat techniques, mastering the Gentle Fist in just over a day and applying it in real combat to defeat the Branch Family's genius.

Then, Hiashi thought of another question and asked Roman:

"You don't have the Byakugan... how exactly did you manage to disrupt the Chakra circulation in Neji's internal meridians?"

Roman: "Intuition, or maybe instinct. I felt that striking those specific acupoints would stiffen Neji's body, and sure enough... after I hit them, everything happened just as my intuition predicted. Neji's movements froze for an instant, and I took that chance to defeat him."

Battle intuition?

Battle instinct?!

Relying on instinct to judge the direction of an enemy's Chakra flow inside their body... what remarkable talent!

If he really does end up with my daughter Hinata, maybe he could actually...

No, now's not the time to think about that.

Hiashi shook his head, clearing the stray thoughts from his mind, then asked Roman a third key question: "That muscular build of yours, that strong physique—how did you develop it?"

Faced with this question, Roman's answer was just one word:

"Eating."

Eating?

A flicker of doubt passed through Hiashi's eyes.

And just then, Hinata spoke up to remind him: "Father, have you forgotten? I've been insisting that Roman's treatment be raised to my level, including the amount of food!

"Both yesterday and today... the food the clan sent over, we finished it all together!"

Hearing this, Hiashi suddenly recalled a fact:

His daughter was a big eater!

From a very young age, she could eat enough to feed ten peers their fill all by herself.

So, she'd been healthy since childhood, her development far surpassing her peers. Roman had the same appetite as his daughter—no wonder he'd grown so well!

Thinking this over, Hiashi felt more and more that Roman and Hinata were actually quite a good match.

Roman had the big-eater talent, exceptional battle instincts, and a remarkable gift for learning the Gentle Fist... if these traits could be passed down to Hinata's children!

Then the Hyuga Clan would only grow stronger in the future!

With this thought, Hiashi spoke: "Roman, you defeated Neji, so I acknowledge you... You—"

Hiashi was only halfway through his sentence when he saw Hinata jump up with a cry of "Yes!" then leap from behind Roman onto his back, cheerfully planting kisses on his neck and cheek.

Roman didn't hold back either, returning the favor.

Watching this, Hiashi immediately recalled the Forest of Death, when he'd seen the traces of water on Hinata and Roman's faces—no doubt they'd been trading blows, a war of lips and tongues on each other's faces.

Hiashi's brow furrowed again, anger rising in his heart, and he promptly swallowed the words he'd been about to say—"I'm willing to give my daughter to you in marriage, but the price is that you join the Hyuga Clan as a son-in-law"—and instead barked out:

"I only acknowledged that you can stay in the Hyuga Clan—I didn't say you could be this intimate with Hinata..."

Before Roman could respond, Hinata, still clinging to his shoulders, spoke up discontentedly: "Father, you're going back on your word. You promised me that as long as Roman beat Neji-nii, you'd let us be together."

Hiashi's face darkened at this, and he shot a glance at Hinata's mother.

She quickly chimed in to persuade: "Hinata... you're still too young. You can't take things further with Roman yet. Being together—that's something to talk about at least ten years from now."

"Exactly."

Hiashi nodded immediately.

Hinata, still on Roman's back, blinked: "I didn't say anything about taking it further. I just meant I want to stay with Roman long-term and study some things."

Hiashi frowned: "Study things?"

Hinata: "Study the secrets of Roman's physique, see if we can find a way for him to cultivate Chakra."

"Impossible. You can't research that alone—"

Hiashi stopped mid-sentence, suddenly recalling a fact.

Her daughter was a true genius!

At a very young age, she had independently studied and recreated the A-rank jutsu Rasengan. Perhaps she really could uncover the secrets behind Roman—even find a way for Roman, a civilian with extraordinary combat talent, to cultivate Chakra.

After thinking it over again and again, Hyuga Hiashi nodded:

"You may study together. But you must promise your father—no further contact with Roman beyond that."

Hearing this, Hinata finally smiled. Her small face bloomed like a flower as she said:

"Okay."

Huh?

Hiashi, are you serious?

Beside them, Hinata's mother saw Hyuga Hiashi agree so easily. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, her hand trembling as it rested on her belly. Deep in thought, she mused:

Hyuga Hiashi and I have already started preparing for pregnancy, aiming for a second child.

If it's a girl, we'll name her Hanabi...

But if Hinata and Roman study together long-term... will they end up studying the mysteries of the human body and making a baby? Could Hinata get pregnant before I do—before I even give birth to her little sister? Or worse, could we both end up with swollen bellies at the same time?!

Thinking and thinking, Hinata's mother swallowed hard. Then another thought struck her:

Hinata is still young. She's far from adulthood, far from being fertile... No matter what, she can't—

But in that instant, a strange rumor flashed through her mind:

According to ancient legend, the more you eat, the faster you grow!

And both Hinata and Roman are bottomless stomachs. Could they develop ahead of schedule?

Grow up early and become adults?!

At that thought, a new worry crept into Hinata's mother's heart—the fear that she and her daughter Hinata might end up pregnant at the same time.

If that news ever got out, it would absolutely be an explosive headline in Konoha!!
