She really was a dead woman

"That damned Two-Tails Matatabi, what nonsense is he spouting to Hinata? What does he mean by bringing back a dead woman??"

Kanami was speechless.

Although what he said was true, it's obvious that such words could be misunderstood!

Just as he expected, Hinata Hyuga made a "thud" sound after hearing Matatabi's words.

The key fell to the floor.

Her eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked Matatabi again, "You said Kanami brought a woman back?"

"Yes, he brought back a dead woman."

"Could it be Lady Tsunade?"

Matatabi: "I've seen Tsunade. It's not Tsunade, it's a dead woman. Hinata, you should go and see her."

After hearing what Matatabi said, Hinata Hyuga Hyuga's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was now completely dead.

A woman who can be described as a dead woman needs no further explanation.

Hinata could roughly guess what kind of woman she was.

It is said in folk tales that a man is only a boy until he dies, and he will always be unable to resist certain temptations.

But I never imagined that even someone like Kanami would be seduced by a woman of the night...

Hinata Hyuga walked with a despair in her heart towards the stairs to the second floor.

"Creak."

But then I heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Kanami then came out of the bedroom.

He happened to come face to face with Hinata Hyuga.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Hinata, you're back. Don't listen to Matatabi is saying."

Hinata looked aggrieved and asked weakly, "Did you really bring back a dead woman?"

His opening remarks were a bombshell.

Kanami's gaze immediately swept towards Matatabi on the first floor, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Yes, I brought back a dead woman."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flame that Hinata Hyuga had rekindled when she saw Kanami was extinguished once again.

It's actually true...

Even Kanami himself admitted it...

Waaah!

Her heart sank to the bottom, as if she were stuck in a quagmire, feeling suffocated and unable to breathe.

"Then can you tell me why we brought her into our home?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in Hinata Hyuga's eyes.

Kanami quickly shook his head, looking flustered. "You've misunderstood, it's not like that..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Hinata Hyuga's eyes welled up with tears, and one tear rolled down her cheek.

He immediately panicked.

He then glared fiercely at Two-Tails Matatabi.

If it weren't for Two-Tails Matatabi, Hinata Hyuga would never have cried. It was originally a very small matter, but Matatabi's words turned it into this situation.

Kanami quickly looked away and Hinata Hyuga, wiping away the tears from her eyes. "Hinata- san, why are you crying?"

"I did bring back a dead woman, but she really is a dead woman, she's dead, she's a corpse."

Fearing the situation would worsen, he quickly finished speaking in one breath.

Hinata Hyuga eyes were glistening with tears, was momentarily stunned.

"Dead... dead? Corpse...?"

For a moment, she forgot to cry.

She couldn't understand why Kanami would bring a corpse back.

But suddenly her eyes widened,

A very bold conjecture came to mind.

Could it be that Kanami has that kind of fetish?!

However, she quickly rejected the idea in her mind.

He had lived with Kanami for so many years and had never seen Kanami have such a strange habit.

In Slug Forest, the two of them could occasionally spend 24 or 25 hours a day together.

In such a situation, if there were any unusual habits or preferences, the anomaly would have been noticed long ago.

Kanami watched as Hinata Hyuga stopped crying, but his gaze grew increasingly strange.

"..."

"What are you thinking about with that look in your eyes?"

Don't get the wrong idea, I don't have any special fetishes!

Hinata's eyes sparkled slightly.

Is this an admission of guilt?

Before I could say anything, he started to panic.

No way, how could that be? I don't believe Kanami is that kind of person.

Kanami noticed Hinata's increasingly strange gaze and flustered expression, and immediately realized that telling her not to overthink the matter had only made Hinata think even more wildly.

What's going on here?

He helplessly slapped his forehead and shook his head slightly. "Take Byakugan. She really is dead. And then, she was Orochimaru's vessel. Didn't I say I was going to find Orochimaru? And then I accidentally killed Orochimaru's vessel."

He tried to recount the whole story in the most concise way possible.

Hinata Hyuga nodded thoughtfully before activating her Byakugan.

She had previously considered using her Byakugan to observe what Kanami was doing in the room.

But she had a line of reason that held her back.

She felt she shouldn't be spying on other people's privacy, even if Kanami wasn't just anyone but her husband; she still felt it was wrong to use Byakugan to spy on him like that.

That's why she didn't choose to use it. Now that Kanami has agreed, it's different. Even though she's been authorized, she doesn't feel any burden in her heart.

Byakugan.

Hinata her Byakugan, but chose not to activate her Tenseigan, because while the Tenseigan evolved, the Byakugan's basic abilities were actually reduced.

Both the Byakugan and Tenseigan have reduced and limited vision and X-ray vision, meaning the Byakugan is more of a supportive tool, while the Tenseigan maximizes offensive power.

After activating her Byakugan, Hinata Hyuga's vision shifted, and in an instant, her vision broke through layers of walls, revealing Kurenai's corpse lying on the floor of the bedroom.

"It really was a dead woman..."

Hinata Hyuga murmured softly as she looked at the extent of Kurenai's contortions.

"I told you she's a dead woman..."

Kanami said with a hint of helplessness.

At this moment, Hinata Hyuga awkwardly closed her Byakugan, scratched her head, and said, "I'm sorry, Kanami, I... I misunderstood you..."

Her face flushed red, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

At the same time, a slight resentment towards Matatabi also arose in her heart.

Although what she said wasn't wrong... Kanami did indeed bring back a dead woman...

However, she still subconsciously complained to Matatabi, after all, who wouldn't be confused by such words!

"Okay, it's alright. Actually, thinking about it now, it's kind of funny."

Kanami patted Hinata's head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Funny?" Hinata, somewhat puzzled.

"Even if you put yourself in my shoes, my wife is actually jealous of me over a dead woman, a corpse. Isn't that outrageous enough?"

"..."

"..."

Hinata Hyuga's face immediately fell.

While her substitution was indeed quite funny, but!

The protagonist in this jealous fight over a "dead woman" is herself; her laughter is tantamount to laughing at herself.

She immediately pouted, her little face puffed up with anger.

Seeing this, Kanami gently tapped Hinata's cheek with his index finger.

Hmm... it's quite bouncy.

Hinata, why weren't you home earlier?

Kanami asked while poking her cheek.

Hinata Hyuga Kanami was poking at her face, and gave Kanami a wistful look.

Looking at her expression, Kanami's heart skipped a beat.

That really touched me!

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

Cute!

no way.

Hinata Hyuga was already naturally cute, looked even more pitiful and endearing after crying slightly, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Even after all these years, Kanami is still deeply moved, which is enough to prove the significance of Hinata Hyuga's expression at this moment!

Just as he was feeling lost, Hinata wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly said, "Because we haven't been home for several days, and Hanabi came looking for me not long after you left..."
