Aogetsu Hyuga's mouth twitched slightly.
Hinata's injuries were quite serious.
That casual kick had nearly killed her.
Hidan could take the blame.
Aogetsu Hyuga put on an angry face and said viciously, "An enemy named Hidan kicked you hard. That damned fool dared to hurt my adorable Hinata. Don't worry, your big brother Aogetsu has already avenged you."
That was right. It was all Hidan's fault.
"B-Big brother Aogetsu, you're so kind." Hinata Hyuga held his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm. A happy smile appeared on her pale, weak, adorable face.
She had no idea what had happened, but she felt safe with big brother Aogetsu beside her.
"..." Everyone on Team 7 was speechless. Even Konan and Kakuzu had nothing to say.
Wasn't Hinata Hyuga injured because Aogetsu Hyuga had attacked Hidan?
"Hinata looks adorable even when she's weak. She's the very picture of a soft, sweet little girl." Aogetsu Hyuga stroked his chin and studied her with a smile, looking like a creepy uncle.
Little girls had three charms.
Soft voices, sweet looks, and vulnerability.
And injured Little Hinata fit all three.
Wait...
Am I actually a pervert?
Impossible!
How could I have a sadistic streak? I'm an outstanding man.
"Big brother Aogetsu!" Hinata Hyuga looked at him reproachfully, puffing out her cheeks a little.
Aogetsu Hyuga patted her head and smiled. "I'm teasing. You're healed now."
"Th-thank you, big brother Aogetsu." Hinata Hyuga could feel that her injuries had healed, though a lingering ache remained.
"But you were the one..." Konan frowned angrily. She was about to call him out for deceiving the girl.
Aogetsu Hyuga had known perfectly well that attacking Hidan would injure Hinata. Yet he hadn't hesitated. He had even kicked Hidan hard enough to send him flying, leaving Hinata gravely wounded.
