A little before Naruto took action to relieve Hinata, Hinata Hinata Hinata had already hurried to the neighborhood for fear that something would happen to Hinata and solve the matter in the ninja school as soon as possible, and when he wanted to call Hinata home, he unexpectedly saw someone who dared to bully his baby daughter! The furious Hizoku was about to personally take action to leave some lessons to the three bear children, but then a series of changes caused by Naruto's appearance gradually subsided Hizo's anger, and it was even more complicated because of Naruto's straightforward and undisguised accusations.

As one of the two major pupil families in Konoha Ninja Village, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hinata can be said to be in an unattainable top position in the eyes of ordinary people. After getting used to standing in a high position and pampering him, Rizu has developed a domineering and arrogant aura, so the ordinary people he came into contact with in the past are all courting him and offering courtesy, and almost no one dares to criticize him bluntly...... And now, the child in front of him, who looked dressed in tatters with his back to him, broke the cognitive habit that was gradually solidifying in Rizu's heart.

The appearance is sloppy and inconspicuous, and he complains and accuses without respect when he knows Hinata's identity, and then turns the gun in his mouth and confides in the words that are even more unceremonious...... The most important point is that this stinky little ghost who has never met dares to hold his daughter's little hand tightly!

It stands to reason that this kind of behavior is no less "bad" than what the previous three bear children did according to the usual standards of judgment in Rizu! But under the chatter of this little guy, the daughter is a shy and obedient and obedient dependent appearance, and she seems to favor this little ghost, not to mention, even every word and sentence spit out by this little ghost, and after thinking about it carefully, she can't find half a reason to refute the reprimand!

Yes, confidentiality is of course the most important thing when meeting with that adult, but with his approachable and kind personality, it must not be difficult to bring the innocent and naïve Hinata who was kidnapped not long ago, and get understanding and permission...... In addition, as a father, he underestimated the importance and persistence of his well-behaved daughter to his words, and the long-term baptism of wind and snow coupled with the insulting cold eyes that he had never been willing to give up since he was born made Rizu feel extremely annoyed and remorseful for his subconscious decision before leaving!

Just as Hinata was stunned and thought to himself when he heard Naruto's words, Hinata's body stepped forward unfreely and approached silently, and by the time he reacted, he was already standing quietly behind Naruto like a statue...... It was also from this that the embarrassing and strange scene of Naruto in front of his future father-in-law in front of him was born.

"Oh? Why don't you speak? Hinata Hinata stood with his hands in the sleeves of his kimono and stood expressionlessly, waiting until Naruto seemed to find himself in front of him and kept silent, then he slowly spoke, and the suppressed coercion of the ruler on his body gradually spread towards Naruto with his words, intentionally or unintentionally, "Go on, little one...... I'm wondering what you're going to say about me next......"

"Uh...... Alas...... I...... I ...... "Maybe it's the father-in-law's identity that suppresses the innate absolute attribute of his son-in-law, plus he said bad things behind his back but was caught by himself, even Naruto, who thinks he has been abused and used to seeing strong winds and waves in the past three years, seems to have changed into a heavy hammer when the words of the sun are dull and insignificant, and the hammer makes Naruto weak. At the same time, his heart was trembling as if he had just experienced the chaos of 10,000 grass and mud horses, and at the same time, he controlled his facial muscles and tried to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and then turned around tremblingly, and his confidence plummeted and he stammered and continued, "Haha, I ...... I'm joking with Hinata, you have a lot of them, don't take it seriously, Uncle Hinata...... Yes! No, no, Hinata-sama! ”

“…… Phew, sure enough, he's just a mature kid......" Compared to when he faced the three bear children before, Naruto now seemed to be a different person and cowered, almost making Hinazu mistakenly think that the previous blow to bring down the three people was just an illusion he saw! While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, the illusion that Naruto's performance had left in his heart before as if he was facing an adult also disappeared in this instant.

"Daddy......!" Perhaps affected by Naruto's unusually frightened expression, the ignorant young Hinata beside him began to slowly tense up, and tried to defend Naruto's father by saying good things in front of him, but after seeing his father's eyes that were as calm as water and couldn't see the joy and anger, he became more and more cowardly, and the words after that could no longer be spoken, instead he grabbed the corner of Naruto's clothes, and instinctively hid behind Naruto.

"Hey, isn't it, my baby Miss Hinata...... Your dad is probably eager to eat me alive now, and you're still hiding behind my back...... Isn't this adding fuel to the fire......" Sensing the sunfoot in front of him, although his expression did not change, but the terrifying coercion increased dramatically, the expression on Naruto's face was that he was a man who had no love, and he wanted to cry without tears and secretly complained in his heart at the same time, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably and soften, but he still moved quietly under the instinctive urging, and opened his arms to firmly cover Hinata's petite body behind him.

"Oh? Even though I'm just as scared, I still haven't forgotten to protect Hinata...... Putting aside the previous remarks, this kid has a good heart to protect and care about Hinata...... "Hinata who is constantly increasing his own coercion finds that the little ghost in front of him is not as afraid of running away as he expected, but his face is full of fear of himself, and he does not hesitate to move his body to bear most of the coercion, and protects Hinata firmly behind him.

"The preliminary verification can be regarded as qualified, as far as the current performance is concerned, this little ghost is worthy of Hinata's trust and dependence on him...... Let him be friends with Hinata, maybe it's not as bad as he imagined. A little comforting nodded, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he slowly withdrew the imposition in front of him, "It's not a way to stay at home all the time...... It's time for the new students of the ninja school to enroll, and it's time for this kid who is introverted and afraid to make some playmates of the same age. ”

Of course, Hizo's open-mindedness was based on the fact that Naruto was an ordinary child who helped out on the road, if he knew that Naruto had his precious daughter in mind? Heh, I'm afraid that Naruto Uzumaki's journey through this life will come to an end in advance......

"Okay, okay, don't make such a fuss, take it easy...... I'm not a man-eating monster. "Adjust your facial expressions to make yourself look as less serious as possible, and at the same time, you can comfort the two frightened little ones in front of you." You're right, you little devil, I didn't think about it before...... And, thank you for helping Hinata out of the siege and helping her clean up the three troublemakers who bullied her. ”

“…… Alas? That's ...... Finished? There is no punishment for speaking ill? Hinata's unexpectedly reasonable appearance made Naruto's brain go blank as if he had been struck by lightning, and he even twisted his face in front of the two of them, ignoring Hinata and Hizo's curious gazes, "...... Hiss, pain! It's not a dream! ”

"Daddy...... Aren't you angry anymore? After hearing his father's reassuring words, Hinata raised her head timidly as if to verify the authenticity of the words, and just happened to see the doting gaze in her father's eyes, and the tension in her heart was swept away, and she was full of joy and excitement to make an amazing move that even Hinata herself could not imagine! The little short legs bent slightly and then jumped up vigorously, wrapping their hands around Naruto's neck like a koala and hanging behind Naruto's back, rubbing and cheering excitedly, "Yay! Daddy is the best! ”

"Haha, I'm even more excited than I am...... Hawkers,After all,The current Hinata is just a little girl......" At the moment when Hinata jumped up, Naruto, who was aware of it, instinctively raised his hands back and hooked his legs and bent his back to stabilize the little baby behind him, shook his head helplessly, doted and whispered, and slowly raised his head and was about to brush his image of his future father-in-law while the iron was hot, but he unexpectedly saw the increasingly iron and hideous face on Hinata's face, and invisibly smelled a vinegar smell that was strong enough to suffocate, and couldn't help but stammered and trembled again," Alas...... Day...... Uncle Hinata...... Hinata-sama? You ......"

"Sure enough, I still have to have a good chat with you little ghost." Looking at the baby daughter who was too intimate with Naruto, Hizoku felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and his hands were slowly withdrawn from the long sleeves of the kimono, and while looking at Naruto with a "kind" smile on his face, he invited with a "smile" word by word. "Come here, little one...... Let's go to the side and talk about our hearts. ”

"That, uh...... I...... Can I refuse? ”

"Huh?"

"No, no, no, I mean...... Good! No problem! Whining...... Go, go...... We're going to ...... now."

"Hmm...... I don't know what Dad is going to tell you...... Go for it! ”

"Don't add fuel to the fire at this time, Miss! No, Hinata-sama, listen to my explanation......"

"Explain? Why explain? Isn't that a very good friend...... Let's go, little one, it'll be over soon. ”

“…… Woowoo...... Good...... My life is resting......"

Under the innocent cheering eyes of Hinata, who didn't realize that he had cheated Naruto, Naruto's heart was filled with a sense of sadness that the strong man was gone, and he weakly followed Hinata with a smile on his face to the side of the grove.

Almost at the moment when the two of them disappeared into the grove, bursts of tear-jerking wails resounded from the woods!

“…… Whew! ”

"It hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Whoa! Tap tap tap ...... Don't slap your face! Ya Butterfly! ”

"Yikes! ＃％＆＄； ￡……！ ”

……

"Ahh Father! You're back...... Alas? The ...... who went in with you Where did he go? ”

"Huh? Oh, did you say that kid? Don't worry, he's afraid he won't be able to go home for dinner because it's too late, so he will go back by himself after talking to me. ”

"That's right......"

"Okay, Hinata, don't think about it so much, since the child has already gone home for dinner, it's almost time for us to go home, and my mother must have prepared a fragrant dinner waiting for us at home."

"Hmmm! Good~"

"Mixed ...... Mix...... Bastard...... Unexpectedly...... Hit it so hard...... Whew......"

……

After a while, Hizo, who was refreshed, walked out of the grove alone, and looked at Naruto, who was twitching with his feet in the woods not far behind him and constantly whispering and screaming in pain.

……

On December 14, the 51st year of the Konoha calendar, the villagers who passed by the inconspicuous grove near the ninja school on this day insisted that they heard the miserable ghost crying wolf howl like killing pigs, and in their emotional depictions, the desperate scream was enough to make the listener cry for sympathy, but in the end, because no one witnessed the discovery of the owner of the voice, it was finally lost, and by the time Naruto enrolled in the ninja school, it had become another mystery that was widely circulated among the students of the ninja school.

The eighth of the eight mysteries of the ninja school......

A desolate female ghost crying helplessly in the grove.
