Chapter 102: The Best of Illusion (Part 5)
The Hyuga clan is the number one Konoha clan that the Hokage has to admit. The festivals held by the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info, even if they are for no reason, are very lively.
In the residence of the Hyuga clan, various facilities have been built that can only be seen at festivals. Moreover, in addition to important places such as the ancestral hall, this ancient clan has opened all areas to the outside world, so even small clan ninjas like Sakura Haruno and Gangko Iron can come in and play.
Ninjas who have been invited can even participate in the banquet held by the Hyuga clan. In front of the family temple, enjoy Hinata's unique kagura dance and exorcism ceremony. However, in the midst of this group of old-fashioned people, there are so many pairs of white eyes watching, and I wonder if the guests can feel the cheerful atmosphere that the festival should have.
Unlike previous festivals of the Hyuga clan, this time Hyuga Hinata also held a small banquet in his own home. There weren't many people who participated, there were three generations of old people of this level, people with the status of Tsunade Jiraiya, and Kakashi and other Konoha elite shinobi. But not all of them were invited, adding up to less than twenty.
And among the pillars of these villages, there are two people who are particularly conspicuous, one is the instructor of the eighth class, Hong, and the other is the leader of the eleventh class, Sasuke Uchiha. To be honest, according to their special ninja level, it shouldn't appear here.,Like Hong, the red beans who have just been promoted to the special ninja can only stay at the special reception desk.。
There's a reason why the Hyuga family did this.
More than a dozen low tables surround the spacious living room. The middle view is very open, and you can see the dance of Yaotome being performed in the garden. Sasuke's position was almost at the bottom of the line, but the people sitting next to him were interesting.
Even further up is Red, which is perfectly fine for seniors. But in the back sat two cute girls, Hinata Hinata and Hinata Hanabi.
Generally speaking, when a large family like the Hyuga family holds a banquet, the wife and children will act as a foil to show respect for the guests, so it makes sense that Hinata Hanabi is at the bottom of the table. However, their mother was by Hinata's side at the moment.
Sasuke had no intention of admiring the wonderful Kagura Dance, and was not interested in the food in front of him, and was sitting on the wooden plank, writhing his body uncomfortably. The fireworks on the side were grinning, and they blushed from time to time to look at Sasuke. Every time he felt the warm gaze of the fireworks, Sasuke couldn't help but think of what had just happened at the beginning of the banquet.
At the beginning of the banquet, Hinata Hinata invited Tsunade to sit down, and then walked up to Tsunade with Hanabi's small hand.
"I also ask Hokage-sama to take the little girl as an apprentice. ”
It was a surprising thing, but everyone present looked very calm except for Sasuke. It seems that the Hyuga family has already communicated with everyone, and it is just a passing scene here.
"I promise to teach you what I have learned and to the best of my ability. You are expected to work diligently and become a qualified ninja. ”
"It's the master, and the fireworks will work hard and live up to the master's trust. ”
Tsunade's expression was solemn and serious, and Hanabi's demeanor was as precise as if it had been rehearsed countless times. Bowing, tea, gifts, kneeling, and formal ceremonies are all there, but it gives Sasuke the illusion that he will finish worshipping his teacher in an instant.
So far, Sasuke didn't feel anything wrong. At most, the Hyuga family completely gave up on Hinata and pinned their hopes on Hanabi. But when Tsunade said the next sentence with a wicked smile, Sasuke felt that the whole person was not good.
"Although I have taken you as an apprentice, as the fifth Hokage, I am very busy with official duties. For the time being, I can only appoint your senior brother Sasuke Uchiha to guide you, I hope you don't mind. ”
"No, no, it's an honor for the little girl to be a disciple of Hokage-sama, so how can she complain. What's more, the strength of the Sasuke patriarch is also obvious to all in the village, and our Hyuga family is very much in favor of this decision. ”
Before Tsunade spoke, Hinata agreed with his mouth, and the rest of the people also expressed their approval. Hinata Hanabi is like a Yamato Nadeshiko, and she walks up to Sasuke and salutes.
"Sasuke-kun, we will be the same door in the future, and I would like to ask my senior brother to take care of me. ”
"The ......"
Sasuke was about to raise an objection when he was interrupted by Tsunade.
"Sasuke, as my disciple, you can share your teacher's worries. Hanabi is still young and doesn't need you to guide her every day, just let her get into your team every once in a while to get used to ninja life in advance. Okay, why don't you give your junior sister a gift in return?"
In this way, Sasuke confusedly added a junior sister who was similar to an apprentice, and gave a trident kunai as a gift by the way. And when things settled, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Even Hinata Hinata, who has always been serious, greeted Sasuke with a smile.
"Patriarch Sasuke, the little girl will ask you in the future. ”
Looking at those strange white eyes, Sasuke suddenly felt that it had all been arranged in advance. And it is likely that he was sold as part of the deal by Tsunade, an unscrupulous master.
"Life is so hard. ”
Sasuke could only stay in his seat and sigh helplessly. And as time went by, he was not used to sitting upright, and he gradually couldn't stand the soreness of his legs, and his body began to stagger. One didn't pay attention and bumped into the red next to him.
"What's the little ghost, do you want to have a drink with me?"
Red's face was red, he ate a piece of mustard octopus, and poured a glass of soju with his cup and raised his hand. There were already five or six empty wine bottles on the low table, which was really terrifying combat power.
"No, no, no. ”
Drinking with a half-drunk drunkard wasn't a good thing, and Sasuke could still feel Asma's eager gaze on the other side.
"Cut, boring. ”
Red drank a glass of shochu again, and his unrestrained posture was almost like that of an unkempt Tsunade. Reaching out and grabbing the wine bottle in front of the table and shaking it, his brow furrowed.
"Ah, Mr. Hong, I'll help you get a new one. ”
"The eldest lady of the dignified Hyuga family should not do this kind of work done by subordinates. ”
Hinata hurriedly stood up, but was grabbed by Hong's arm and pulled to her side. Sasuke hurriedly moved out of the way and squeezed the fireworks to the side.
"Tell me what's going on, or I won't be able to hear what you're saying when I drink another bottle. ”
"No, nothing. Hinata lowered her head, and her voice became quieter and quieter.
"Hinata, you're such a good boy who can't lie. I'm not a disciple of Hokage-sama, so it's definitely your request to be able to attend a gathering of this level. I can still judge that. ”
Although Hong still had a drunken flush on her face, she was completely awake when she looked at her eyes.
"I ......"
"Let me tell you. ”
At the critical moment, Sasuke wanted to stand up and relieve Hinata, but Hinata, who has always been shy and timid, stopped Sasuke's behavior at this time.
"I'm sorry Sasuke-kun, but I still want to tell my teacher about this in person. ”
Hinata's eyes were full of determination, which contrasted strongly with her delicate appearance. It seems that she also has her own growth. Red seems to be moved by Hinata's courage and lets go of the hand that holds Hinata so that she can face herself.
"Teacher Hong, please don't leave Class 8 like this. If there's a reason, I'm sure we'll be able to figure out a solution together. Hinata said with a solemn gesture.
"No, it's my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Red thought about it and didn't overdo it. Hinata lowered her head sadly when she saw this, and the sad expression looked like she could cry at any moment, but the strong girl held back her tears.
"Okay, Teacher Hong, you can stay in Class 8. I'll help you solve your troubles. ”
Sasuke stood up from his seat and walked to the other side of Red, soothing his aching legs and his right arm stained by the smell of fireworks. Facing the red, he opened his three-hook jade writing wheel eye.
Sasuke knew very well what Red was planning to leave Class 8 for, and that was because Konoha was a girl from a declining illusion family and a former student of hers. This girl's name is Kurama Yakumo, and her illusion is so strong that she can almost affect reality with the malice in her heart and cause damage to Konoha.
But when it comes to illusions, in the entire ninja world, which clan can say that they can be stronger than the Uchiha?
"Only I can solve this matter, Mr. Hong, don't ignore my writing wheels. ”
