Hinata Violates Clan Rules for Takasaki

In front of the Hyuga Estate gates.

"If you have anything else you'd like to say to Lady Hinata, you can tell me, and I will pass it on for you," the guard reminded him.

Takasaki didn't speak; he simply waved his hand and turned to leave.

To say he didn't feel a bit stifled inside would be a lie; after all, he had felt the stark class divide of the Leaf Village in that moment.

Still, Takasaki wasn't the type to dwell on such things.

If Hinata couldn't teach him, he could find someone else; it wasn't as if she were his only option.

Kurenai Yuhi, Ino, or Tenten would all be excellent candidates.

"I'm a bit hungry." Takasaki was just pondering who he should approach next to teach him the chakra execution principles of the Three Body Technique when he noticed a dango shop by the street.

Ever since he transmigrated into this world, he hadn't even tasted the food in the Leaf Village yet.

The real problem was that the moment he thought about his pockets, which were cleaner than his face, he couldn't help but sigh.

He had no money and was still living off the Leaf Village's relief subsidies; getting a decent meal was difficult.

He decided to just head home and make a bowl of instant noodles to satisfy his hunger for now.

Just as Takasaki took a step forward, a voice rang out from the Hyuga Estate gates behind him: "Takasaki-kun, please wait!"

The tone was crisp and pleasant, and it sounded very familiar.

Takasaki stopped and looked back.

It was indeed Hinata.

Ever since Hinata learned that Takasaki had come to the Hyuga Estate to find her and had been turned away by the guards according to clan rules, she had rushed over in a hurry.

It wasn't just because Takasaki was her classmate, nor was it solely because he was handsome.

The main reason was that if Takasaki wrote her name in his Diary a few more times, she could receive rewards and grow stronger!

Ever since she obtained the Diary, she had been mentally preparing herself to take the initiative to approach Takasaki in the future.

She never expected him to come looking for her first!

Hinata emerged from the Hyuga Estate and, as if afraid Takasaki might leave, trotted over to him.

When she met Takasaki's gaze, her small face flushed bright red, and she lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes thick and long like little fans: "I... I just found out you were looking for me. You want me to teach you the Three Body Technique hands-on, right? I can take you to my home right now."

As she spoke, as if terrified that Takasaki might leave, she reached out and tentatively grabbed the corner of his sleeve.

This gesture caught Takasaki off guard, and he rubbed his growling stomach: "But I'm a bit hungry right now."

Takasaki simply meant that he wanted to fill his stomach first.

To Takasaki, it was just a casual remark.

The problem was that to Hinata's ears, it sounded as if Takasaki were rejecting her: "It's okay, just tell me what you want to eat, and I can have someone buy it, pack it up, and send it to our reception room. The school's final exams are this Monday; if you don't master the Three Body Technique, you won't be able to graduate."

Hinata looked up, her gaze earnest and sincere as she looked at Takasaki: "Takasaki-kun, I will definitely work hard to help you understand the essentials of the Three Body Technique. Please give me this chance."

"You can eat and study at my place. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

Takasaki knew Hinata was easygoing, but he hadn't expected her to be this easygoing.

He didn't agree immediately, but instead walked over to a nearby skewer stall, picked up the menu, ordered a few dozen skewers, and asked Hinata tentatively: "If I order this much, do I really not have to pay?"

"N-no need. After all, you need to be full to have the energy to study. Someone will deliver the skewers in a moment; let's go to my house now."

After saying this, Hinata obediently went to the counter and pulled out her wallet to pay.

It's no wonder Hinata is the template for a perfect wife; the feeling of being pampered by a young lady from a prestigious Leaf family, essentially being offered a free ride, was something Takasaki truly enjoyed.

Takasaki felt that if he didn't do as Hinata said now, it would be a grave sin.

The problem was, just as Hinata led Takasaki into the Hyuga Estate, the guard reminded her with some difficulty: "Young Lady, the Clan Head said that only ninjas who have rendered service to the Leaf may enter the estate..."

Hinata seemed to have known the guard would say this. She stopped, took a deep breath, and seemed to be cheering herself on in her heart.

She, who always spoke with such gentleness, lowered her tone with rare firmness: "Add a new rule: from now on, when Takasaki comes to see me, you are not to stop him, nor do you need to report it."

"But the Clan Head..."

"I will bear all the consequences. My father will support me!"

Hinata couldn't reveal the real reason.

If it were just an ordinary classmate, she wouldn't have rushed out like this, let alone broken the rules to bring him home.

But Takasaki was different.

Takasaki could indirectly make her stronger through the Diary.

Perhaps the Diary had many other special functions tied to Takasaki that she needed to discover slowly.

The more time she spent with Takasaki, the greater her chances of becoming stronger.

Most importantly, she couldn't speak of these things, or the Diary's punishment would kill her.

At this moment, Takasaki had no idea what was truly going through Hinata's mind.

Only one thought occupied his mind.

Being handsome really meant he could shamelessly live off a woman!

Hinata being willing to teach him the principles of executing the Three Body Technique could be understood as simple camaraderie.

Treating him to grilled skewers could also be understood as camaraderie.

The key was that she had defied the rules set by the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi Hyuga, for his sake; that was something simple camaraderie could not explain.

There was only one reason.

He relied on this handsome face of his!

If Hinata wasn't coveting this handsome face, he couldn't think of any other reason why she would be so good to him.

Sporting this handsome face, Takasaki followed Hinata into the Hyuga Estate without a single burden on his conscience.
