Hinata, Stop Pretending

Hinata had quite the temper! In the future, she would be someone who punched Six Paths Madara and kicked Kaguya Otsutsuki. How could such a trivial matter stump her now?

She calmed herself, letting her nervous heart relax again. Once she was completely at peace, she realized there were actually plenty of things to talk about!

After all, she was a leader now. How could that do without a little leaderly authority?

She turned and walked out of the Forest of Death, signaling Mizuki Rei to hurry up and follow. Seeing this, Mizuki Rei immediately followed obediently, coming to Hinata's side and staying half a step behind her.

As she walked, Hinata asked, "Mizuki Rei, what level is your strength at now?"

Mizuki Rei replied, "Lady Hinata, I'm currently about as strong as a Chunin."

Hinata nodded. "Right, although your surname is Mizuki, you know that you aren't a member of the Yuki Clan among the Mist Ninja. Calling you that in Konoha could bring unnecessary trouble."

"On top of that, you have the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai. So, to avoid trouble, you should give yourself a new name or a codename!"

Mizuki Rei fell silent, seeming to think it over. After a while, he said, "Lady Hinata, then my codename will be Snow Bird! As for my name in front of outsiders, it will be Yue Yanlian."

Hinata nodded. "Alright. When no one else is around, I'll call you Snow Bird. When there are people around, I'll call you Yue Yanlian."

Yue Yanlian? What kind of name is that? It sounds so strange.

"Oh, and stop calling me Lady Hinata too. It sounds weird. How about this? When others are around, just call me Hinata. When no one is around, call me by my codename as well!"

"What should my codename be? Hmm... I'll go with Shuoyue!"

Mizuki Rei nodded to show that he understood. Hinata continued, "Then, Snow Bird, you are the first official member of the Dawn Organization founded by me, Shuoyue!"

Snow Bird nodded. "Understood, Shuoyue."

Seeing such an obedient Snow Bird left Hinata quite satisfied. Although every word Snow Bird said was icy, as if he had no emotion at all, he was a good person. If she said one, he would absolutely never say two.

Naruto's Natural Enemy

Although things were a little awkward between them, Hinata felt that it would be fine once she got used to it.

Then Hinata changed the subject. "Right, Snow Bird, have you mastered any corresponding ninjutsu for your Ice Style Kekkei Genkai?"

Snow Bird said, "As long as an Ice Style ninjutsu has appeared in this world, I can use it. However, perhaps because I'm still too young, my physique isn't strong enough and I don't have enough Chakra. So it is somewhat difficult for me to use those especially powerful ninjutsu for now."

Hinata nodded. To be honest, she was rather surprised. Based on her own estimates, the stingy system definitely would not provide a complete set of ninjutsu so easily.

It surely would have come up with some new trick and made her spend Reward Points to exchange for matching ninjutsu. Yet this time, it had been so generous. She had spent fifty thousand Reward Points to get a little brother with limitless potential, and it had even thrown in a complete collection of matching ninjutsu for free.

For a moment, she wondered whether this was really the system she had imagined.

"System... don't measure my magnanimity by your own pettiness."

During the rest of their journey, the two began to pick up speed, weaving and leaping between the great trees. Hinata led the way, with Snow Bird behind her. After quite some time, Konoha's distinctive magnificent sight came into Hinata's view.

Hinata took out her white rabbit purse, opened it, and pulled out several banknotes worth a little over a thousand taels. She generously handed them to the expressionless Snow Bird.

Snow Bird reached out and accepted the money. Hinata patted his shoulder with her right hand and said, "Snow Bird, use this money to get yourself a new outfit first. Then find a place to stay. Tomorrow at noon, we'll meet at Hokage Rock."

Snow Bird nodded and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave immediately. Hinata did not feel displeased that he had left without saying goodbye.

After all, he was the first member of her Dawn Organization. Given his personality, it was perfectly normal to give him a little special treatment.
