Konoha: The Female Ninja Fell Apart After the Diary Was Exposed

"Naruto-kun... it was all thanks to you."

Even though Hinata Hyuga's personality had changed a great deal, being held in Naruto Uzumaki's arms in front of everyone still made her feel as though she might faint at any moment.

"Lady Hinata!"

Neji Hyuga's voice rang out behind them, edged with alarm.

Lady Hinata...

Was she being bullied?

He couldn't stand for that!

Having just resolved to protect Hinata Hyuga with his life, Neji Hyuga used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Naruto Uzumaki.

"Let go of Lady Hinata!"

With a furious shout, Neji Hyuga struck at Naruto Uzumaki with his palm.

But

for all the force behind his attack,

Naruto Uzumaki simply held Hinata Hyuga and shifted lightly to one side, dodging it.

Then

he punched Neji in the stomach.

"Urgh—"

Neji Hyuga dropped to his knees, nearly throwing up his breakfast.

"Brother-in-law, isn't that a bit much for our first meeting?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Neji Hyuga with a chuckle.

"Neji, this is Naruto-kun. Don't do anything rash."

Hinata Hyuga finally came to her senses and hurried to explain.

"Lady Hinata, Blondie did that to you in front of everyone! I can't forgive him!"

Neji Hyuga struggled to his feet, his eyes blazing with anger.

Who was Hinata Hyuga?

She was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan's Main Family and the future head of the clan!

And Naruto Uzumaki?

He might be strong, but Neji had heard he'd been a Little Devil at the Ninja Academy.

Apparently, his favorite pastime had been taking buckets of paint to Hokage Rock and scribbling all over it.

A delinquent through and through.

How could Neji let someone take advantage of Lady Hinata like that?

That guy

must have seen how shy Hinata was and decided to bully her.
