Hinata-Brand Steam Princess, She Really Does Us Proud!

Before Naruto could finish, Kushina's cheerful voice came from inside. "Who is it, Naruto?"

Kushina had already set down her bowl and chopsticks. Hearing there were guests at the door, she hurriedly dried her hands and came out.

When she saw who stood outside, she froze slightly. "Isn't this the head of the Hyuga Clan?"

"Hello, Mr. Hiashi." Kushina quickly stepped forward, her face full of warm smiles. "What a rare guest. Minato went to the Hokage Building early this morning. If you need to see him, you can go to the office building..."

Kushina assumed that since he had personally come all this way with such a grand presence, he must have important business to discuss.

She did not dare slight him, remaining courteous and polite while also covering for her husband.

Hiashi merely smiled faintly at that and said gently, "You misunderstand. I did not bring my daughter here to visit the Hokage."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Naruto standing nearby, his eyes carrying a trace of fatherly warmth. "Actually, I came specifically to see Naruto."

"Me...?" Naruto was completely stunned.

Kushina beside him was equally dumbfounded.

In the audience seats.

Sakura was also rather surprised when she saw this scene.

"W-Wait... Hinata, that person on the screen is you, right?!"

The girl who had appeared at Naruto's doorstep on the huge screen was clearly Hinata herself!

[Ding! Emotional fluctuation from Sakura Haruno detected! Emotion Value +200!]

Hinata was stunned too. She had never imagined that she would actually "appear" at Naruto's home!

Although the "Hinata" in the scene moved and acted exactly like her, watching as an audience member filled her with an indescribable sense of strangeness and shock.

Why... had Father brought "her" to visit Naruto's home?

And from the looks of it, they had even specially prepared a gift?

Hinata was shocked and confused, her little mind already a complete mess, but what she felt even more was joy!

That was right.

Would Naruto dream about me too? If that's the case...

[Ding! Emotional fluctuation from Hinata Hyuga detected! Emotion Value +300!]

Kakashi's expression abruptly turned grave.

He stared at the figures of the Hyuga father and daughter on the screen, his brow furrowing deeper. "Hinata happened to enter this space tonight, and Hinata immediately appeared in Naruto's dream... That is far too much of a coincidence."

Kakashi keenly realized that this was probably not a simple coincidence, but some hidden rule he had yet to understand.

Could it be that Naruto's dream world automatically changed based on the identities of the audience members who entered?

If that were true, then the person behind all this possessed an ability that was simply unimaginable.

Kakashi's thoughts raced, but his expression remained calm. He merely comforted her in a low voice, "Don't take this dream too seriously."

Hinata nodded blankly, forcibly calming her wildly pounding heart before turning her gaze back to the screen.

On the screen.

Hearing that the head of the Hyuga Clan had come to see him, both Naruto and Kushina were confused.

Why had the head of the Hyuga Clan come to see Naruto?

Naruto's mind was completely blank.

"Won't you invite us inside for a seat?" Hiashi Hyuga smiled at the mother and son standing there in a daze, speaking in a teasing tone.

Kushina looked embarrassed as well. "Look at me, how rude of me. Mr. Hiashi, please come in and have a seat."

The Hyuga father and daughter stepped into the entryway.

Hinata obediently changed into indoor slippers and followed behind her father, carefully holding the gift box in her hands.

Her head was slightly lowered, and she was so nervous that even her breathing had grown softer.

So this is Naruto's home?

It feels so warm... Unlike my own home, which is cold and imposing. Every corner here carries a sense of warmth.

Hinata secretly looked around.

The living room was simply furnished but neatly organized, with several family photos hanging on the wall.

There was one of Naruto as a newborn, looking adorable in his swaddling clothes, as well as a family portrait.

In the photo, Minato smiled gently as he held Kushina and the young Naruto close. The image was warm and harmonious.

"Please, sit." Kushina invited the father and daughter to sit on the sofa before taking a seat across from them.

Naruto was still a little dazed. He obediently followed his mother and sat beside her, his blue eyes staring blankly at the head of the Hyuga Clan and Hinata in front of him, completely unable to understand what was happening.

"Mr. Hiashi, may I ask what brings you here today?" Kushina asked tentatively.

Hearing that, Hiashi Hyuga set down his teacup and smiled slightly. "It's nothing important. I mainly heard that Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy at the top of his class, so as an elder, I came specifically to congratulate him."

As he spoke, he patted Hinata beside him. "Hinata, do you remember what I told you before?"

Hinata's delicate body trembled at once, and in her nervousness, she nearly dropped the gift box in her hands.

She hurriedly hugged the box tightly with both hands. Her face instantly turned bright red as she stammered, "I-I..."

Seeing Hinata suddenly flush bright red and stumble over her words, Naruto was even more confused. He tried his best to put on a serious, polite expression. "Um... Hinata, did you need something from me?"

When Naruto asked that, Hinata's little face grew even redder. Her mind went blank as she timidly held out the exquisite gift box in her hands. "Naruto... this is... for, for you..."

After saying that single sentence, she had nearly exhausted all her strength. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could burrow into the ground.

In the audience seats.

"Hinata! Hinata, what's wrong?"

Sakura turned her head and saw that Hinata beside her had flushed cheeks, both hands pressed to her chest as she panted rapidly. Clearly, the real Hinata had been greatly affected by the scene in the dream.

Sakura was both worried and helpless. "Honestly, Naruto, that big idiot! Just a few days ago, he dreamed that I confessed to him, and now he's fantasizing in his dreams again..."

She stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, saying indignantly, "Why does every girl become like this when she appears in his dreams? This is way too much!"

Hinata beside her was already so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Her hands twisted the hem of her clothes as she lowered her head, nearly burying her forehead in her chest. She continued muttering softly, "How could Naruto have this kind of dream... How could Naruto have this kind of dream..."

Her entire body seemed to be giving off steam like a boiling kettle.

Sakura could only stare in astonishment. "???"

She had wanted to complain about Naruto alongside Hinata, but who would have thought that Hinata herself looked so shy and excited that she was about to faint? Sakura's face filled with black lines as she could not help wondering if she had seen things wrong.

Hinata, are you happy instead of angry?!

That's not right, is it?

Kakashi's pupils also contracted slightly at the development on the screen.

He had never expected things to unfold like this today, and for a moment, he could not quite process it.

While the emotions of the two girls in the audience rose and fell wildly, Shigure, hidden in the darkness, was delighted.

In just a short while, the string of rising Emotion Values on the system panel kept refreshing without end.

Shigure stared in amazement, then could not help clicking his tongue and secretly laughing.

As expected of the Hinata-brand Steam Princess. She really did them proud!

Had he known Princess Hinata would be this effective, he should have brought her in much earlier.

When it came to providing Emotion Values efficiently, who could compare to Hinata, currently blushing and steaming?

Hidden in the shadows, Shigure wore a satisfied smile at the corner of his lips.
