A crisp sound came from outside the door.
The next second, the door was pushed open.
An eight- or nine-year-old girl skipped and hopped in.
She had short, dark blue hair, bright Byakugan, and a smile on her face.
"Elder sister!"
Hanabi Hyuga Hinata threw herself into her arms.
Hinata quickly caught her.
" Hanabi, what brings you here?"
I've come to play with my older sister.
Hanabi hugged Hinata's waist and looked up at her.
Then she realized something was wrong.
"Sister, why is your face so red?"
Hinata's body stiffened.
"Is there?"
Of course.
Hanabi reached out and touched Hinata's face.
"It's so hot."
"He's probably tired from practicing Gentle Fist."
Hinata quickly explained.
Hanabi blinked.
Following Hinata's gaze, she saw Zhang Yu on the bed.
"Elder sister."
"Who is he?"
He is...
Hinata paused.
She couldn't very well say that Zhang Yu was resting in his own bed.
He is a distinguished guest of the family.
"I came here to rest because I wasn't feeling well."
Hanabi released Hinata and walked to the bedside.
She stood on tiptoe and carefully examined Zhang Yu.
Why is our distinguished guest sleeping in my sister's bed?
" Hanabi."
Hinata quickly grabbed her.
"Don't disturb Boss Zhang Yu's rest."
Zhang Yu had already opened his eyes.
He looked at the lively little girl in front of him and sat up.
"You're Hanabi?"
Hanabi immediately turned its head.
Do you know me?
"I've heard of it."
Zhang Yu raised his hand.
A delicate little pastry appeared out of thin air in my palm.
"This is for you."
Hanabi's eyes lit up immediately.
Where did this come from?
"It was conjured up."
"You know Ninjutsu?"
I guess so.
Zhang Yu handed over the snacks.
"Take it."
Hanabi were not caught immediately.
She first glanced back at Hinata.
Hinata nodded.
"You can take it."
Hanabi then stretched out her hands.
"Thanks."
Zhang Yu asked, "What's your name?"
Hanabi Hyuga.
Hanabi took the snacks and answered seriously.
"This is my Hinata Hyuga."
She then pointed at Zhang Yu.
What's your name?
Zhang Yu.
" Brother Zhang Yu?"
"It will be all right."
Hanabi unwrapped the confectionery and took a big bite.
A sweet fragrance quickly filled the room.
Her eyes grew brighter and brighter as she ate.
"Tasty!"
"It tastes better than homemade snacks."
Hinata sat down on the edge of the bed.
" Hanabi, slow down."
"Sister, this is really delicious."
Hanabi quickly finished the snack in her hand.
She licked her lips, then her gaze fell on Zhang Yu again.
Zhang Yu could see it clearly.
The little girl hasn't had enough to eat yet.
He raised his hand and conjured up two more servings of pastries.
"Besides."
"Really?"
Hanabi rushed towards them.
Zhang Yu handed one portion to her and placed the other in front of Hinata.
Hinata is eating too.
Hinata quickly waved her hand.
"I don't need it."
"This is for you."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Hanabi has already opened the second portion of the dessert.
Seeing this, Hinata also picked up the portion in front of her.
The two lay side by side on the edge of the bed and began to eat.
Hanabi are eaten very quickly.
Hinata, however, took small sips.
She soon discovered that these snacks not only tasted good, but also left her feeling light and refreshed.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
What is this dessert made of?
"Ordinary snacks."
Can ordinary pastries really taste this good?
Hanabi raised its head.
You must have many more good things.
"Want to?"
Hanabi nodded repeatedly.
"Think."
"Then do your best."
"I will!"
For the next half hour or so, the Hanabi went off completely.
She kept asking Zhang Yu where the snacks came from, and then she asked him if he knew any other Ninjutsu.
Zhang Yu did not answer all the questions.
Hanabi, however, were indifferent.
As long as Zhang Yu is willing to talk to her, she can keep asking questions.
" Brother Zhang Yu."
"Could you make another dessert?"
You've already eaten two servings.
But my sister ate two portions too.
She didn't ask me for a third serving.
Hanabi blinked.
"I'm still young, I'm still growing."
Zhang Yu glanced at her.
Who taught you that kind of talk?
"It was my own idea."
Hanabi stood tall with its chest puffed out.
"Could I have another one?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and conjured a snack.
Hanabi immediately reached out and took it.
Not long after, she moved closer to Zhang Yu again.
" Brother Zhang Yu."
"What's wrong now?"
"I'd like another one."
You've already eaten three servings.
"The last one."
"That's what you just said."
Hanabi extends two fingers.
"This is really the last one."
Zhang Yu remained silent.
Hanabi immediately grabbed his arm and gently shook it.
" Brother Zhang Yu, give it to me!"
Her voice was sweet and soft.
Hinata quickly advised, " Hanabi, don't keep troubling Boss Zhang Yu."
"Does my sister want some too?"
That's not what I meant.
"That means you want it too."
Hanabi turned to look at Zhang Yu.
" Brother Zhang Yu, my sister wants some too."
Hinata was completely stunned.
" Hanabi!"
Zhang Yu had already conjured up two servings of pastries.
"Take it."
Hanabi immediately released his hand.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang Yu!"
She held one of the portions in her arms and handed the other to Hinata.
Hinata took the snacks, her face full of helplessness.
"If you keep eating like that, you'll finish all of Boss Zhang Yu's snacks."
"Won't."
Hanabi said earnestly, " Brother Zhang Yu has many."
How did you know?
"Because he can keep conjuring them up."
Hanabi looked at Zhang Yu.
" Brother Zhang Yu, you still have many, right?"
"That's enough for you for now."
Hanabi smiled immediately after hearing this.
She sat on the edge of the bed, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at Zhang Yu.
" Brother Zhang Yu."
"Um?"
"You're so amazing, could you teach me Ninjutsu?"
What do you want to learn?
"I want to learn."
Hanabi counted on her fingers.
"I want to learn the Ninjutsu to transform candy into sweets, and I also want to learn powerful Taijutsu."
"Why?"
"That way I can turn myself into snacks and defeat everyone."
Who do you want to defeat?
"Everyone."
Hanabi spoke with absolute certainty.
"Including Father."
Hinata quickly reminded her.
"You can't say that about Hanabi."
I was just saying later.
Hanabi then looked at Zhang Yu.
" Brother Zhang Yu, will you take me as your apprentice?"
Zhang Yu did not answer immediately.
Hanabi's eyes gradually reddened when she saw that he didn't speak.
She lowered her head, and her voice became much softer.
"I'm very smart."
I will diligently cultivate myself.
"And I won't slack off."
Zhang Yu looked at her.
Hanabi looked up, her eyes already filled with tears.
" Brother Zhang Yu, please accept me as your student."
I want to learn from you.
She sniffed.
I promise I won't let you down.
Hinata quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eye.
" Hanabi, don't cry."
Hanabi grabbed Zhang Yu's sleeve.
"I really want to become your apprentice."
Zhang Yu looked at the tearful little girl in front of him and felt helpless.
