After several more days of travel, Feng An and the other two finally returned to Konoha Village.
Konoha's nights were much colder and quieter.
Unlike the Land of Hot Springs, where girls with generous figures who had just finished soaking in the springs wandered between the shops in swimsuits after nightfall.
Feng An parted ways with Hinata and headed toward his own home.
With Hyuga Hiashi there, there was no need for him to escort Hinata home.
