In Naruto's room, Hinata knelt obediently in front of Naruto, holding the thick wooden stick tightly in her hand, staring straight at Naruto's face with a pair of white eyes.
However, just after watching it for a while, Hinata couldn't help but have his thoughts wandering around.
[Naruto-kun looks so handsome so quietly...]
Hyuga Clan's mansion.
"What!"
Hyuga Hiashi, who was still making tea to rest his mind, with a very calm expression, opened Byakugan angrily on the spot, subconsciously crushing the tea cup in his hand and bursting it.
However, the hot tea poured on his hand still failed to attract Hiashi's attention at this time. He resisted the urge in his heart to rush over to Naruto's House immediately. His eyes looked at the Hyuga Branch Family members who were relaying the information for Neji in front of him, with gloomy and uncertain expressions.
"Calm down, Hiashi, you have to calm down. Haven't you already realized it? After all, you are the descendant of that adult. Although you are older than him, as the saying goes, a person is better than a person who is good at it..."
The Branch Family member who was half-kneeling looked at Hyuga Hiashi, the Main Family leader, sitting there with blue veins popping out in his eyes, mumbling to himself, and finally couldn't help but remind him, "Family leader, blood..."
"What, they're all bleeding?! These children are too early..."
"No, Master! I mean your hands are bleeding!"
Hyuga Hiashi then looked at his palm, which was still holding the dregs of the teacup tightly. The wound cut by Pottery Shard was bleeding out.
"Ah!" Hyuga Hiashi shouted distressedly, and then covered his expression with his other hand to prevent others from seeing it.
Just when the subordinate thoughtfully took out the emergency Medical Kit that Ninja carried with him and prepared to bandage the owner, he heard Hiashi murmur afterward, "This is my most beloved... cup, are you leaving me so early..."
[Clan Head This is not about feeling sorry for the cup, it is definitely using an object as a metaphor, and this attitude should be the default.]
The subordinate grumbled inwardly while wrapping a bandage on his hand.
"Dad, Older Sister hasn't come back yet?"
At this time, the little Hanabi Hyuga wandered over from his house, looked at his father with cute big eyes and asked.
The subordinate who had bandaged Hiashi resigned due to the atmosphere. Looking at his beloved little daughter, Hyuga Hiashi waved to her, and Hanabi also obediently snuggled into his arms.
Holding his beloved daughter in his arms, Hiashi's expression softened a little. He touched her hair and said, "Well, Hanabi, why are you still up so late today? Tomorrow, daddy will have to check whether you are slacking on your homework~"
"Hehe, Dad, I went to practice hard after dinner~" Hanabi smiled triumphantly.
"It's amazing Hanabi! You are still good, unlike you Older Sister... Hey, when I see you Older Sister come back tomorrow, don't ask her what happened today..."
"Huh? What do you mean, dad?" Hanabi looked stupid and didn't understand his father's unrelated topic at all.
And Hyuga Hiashi stopped talking, just sighing silently in his heart... and with a little complaint, how did that adult teach his son to be so precocious? And even if he is really impatient, he still has to give himself an explanation!
And this misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper in Hiashi's inner tangle.
And after a while.
"...Naruto-kun, I'm sorry!"
As the wooden stick slammed into Naruto's head, the severe pain made Naruto suddenly wake up, covered his head and shouted, "It hurts so much!"
"Naruto-kun, how are you?" Hinata looked nervous and quickly dropped the stick to help Naruto, "Yes, I'm sorry, did I use too much force?"
"It's okay, it's okay, oh, thank you so much Hinata!"
Naruto waved his hands and recalled what had just happened with a look of fear on his face. The experience of his consciousness turning into stone was too terrifying. He could not move or think, but he was still aware of the passage of time. This was really an indescribable feeling of torture.
"Naruto-kun, are you really in Training? How can I..." While Naruto was motionless just now, Hinata opened the Byakugan view more than once Observe the Chakra changes in Naruto's body, but I don't know if it is because my Byakugan ability is not enough, and I can't see any Chakra changes in Naruto's body at all.
To use an analogy, in Hinata's eyes, during this hour, Chakra in Naruto's body was like a calm Lake, as stable as ever.
"It's indeed Training, and..." Naruto was just about to explain when he heard his stomach growling and rubbed his head awkwardly, "I'm so hungry. Let's eat first."
Then when Naruto was about to stand up and take out the cup noodles he had prepared, he found that he couldn't stand up at all, and his legs were not working at all, as if he was still in the same state as Petrification just now.
"Ah? Hengda, hum... Hey, move, can't you move?" Naruto tapped his feet with his hands. The elasticity of the muscles was still there, not as hard as stone.
But in my own mind, my legs still feel like stones.
"Naruto-kun You may be numb, so I'd better go get it."
"Oh, Hinata, I'm sorry to trouble you, just..."
Hinata very thoughtfully followed Naruto's instructions to find and soak the cup noodles, and looked thoughtfully at the cup noodles in the cabinet.
After filling his stomach, Naruto patted his legs again. He seemed to have regained consciousness and was at least able to stand up.
Seeing that Naruto was fine, Hinata also breathed a sigh of relief.
Naruto then looked at the sky outside the window, looked back at Hinata and said with a smile, "There is still some time, I will do it again, and then I will take you home!"
"Okay." Although the access control time at home was almost here, Hinata, who would not refuse Naruto, grasped the wooden stick with familiarity.
As Naruto's consciousness sank into Inner World again, he opened his eyes and looked at Nine-Tails, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is that situation just now... really Training's trump card?"
"Of course, don't you believe me yet?" Nine-Tails, who had been waiting for a long time at Inner World, looked like an old god.
"Oh, no, no, it's normal. Hiss, Hinata-chan, it really hurts!" Naruto touched the back of his head and grimaced.
"After all, only enough pain shock can awaken the spirit through the body. And the reason why you couldn't move your legs just now is mainly because your mental state has been Petrification for a while, and the body will also be affected. You only need to slow down to move freely."
"But here Inner World is just mental Petrification, there is no life danger. If you Training in reality, you will really turn into stone if you are not careful! This Training method was figured out by me, and I had anticipated it, so you asked someone to come over and take care of it."
Nine-Tails had a tone that I had expected, which gave Naruto great confidence.
"Yoshi, let's continue!"
Highlight one who dares to say and one who dares to believe.
Nine-Tails picked another Natural Energy Orb that was only slightly smaller than the previous one, and waved it towards Naruto.
"Bang!"
As expected, at that moment when Natural Energy, which was larger than Naruto's body, covered it, the Naruto stone statue appeared again.
The road is long and long, just when Naruto is going Training, the Land of Water border is at this time.
"Stop! Who are you?"
Kakashi, who was carrying two swords on his back, raised his head, looked at the flashing border Kirigakure Ninja in the Forest, scratched his white hair, and said more seriously, "Konoha Jonin, Kakashi Hatake, I have a mission to visit Master Kirigakure Genji."
