"It's been so long and there's still no news...... Husband, do you say Hinata will she ...... Has it really been taken out of the village and kidnapped? In the Hyuga clan mansion, Hinata paced anxiously back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the beautiful woman beside him, who had been watching him worriedly, gritted her teeth and hesitated for a while, then raised her hand and slowly put it on Hinata's shoulder and proposed, "Sure enough, you should still report to the three generations of Hokage, right?" With the help of the village, we may be able to get Hinata back......"

“…… It's not time yet, just wait and see. Hearing his wife's words, he paused for a long time, as if he could not make up his mind, he clenched his hands into fists and said with difficulty, "Maybe...... They will be able to get Hinata back in no time. ”

"Wait? It's been so long, and if you wait any longer, you really won't be able to get it back! Why, why are you just not willing to ask for the help of the three generations of Hokage! After seeing her husband's hesitation, the beautiful woman who had been patiently suppressed because of her daughter's disappearance finally couldn't bear it anymore and shook her husband's shoulders vigorously, and her slightly trembling words were gradually contaminated with the fear and anger of losing her beloved child, and finally let go of her husband and sat on the ground, covering her face with her hands and sobbing slightly, "It's obvious that you took Hinata to the memorial service...... Why...... Why didn't you notice that the kid was gone......"

“…… I'm sorry...... I ......"

Maybe it was because of his wife's sorrow, or because of the fading hope that the clansmen had been looking for for a long time, that Rizu's heart became more and more shaken and confused, and when he knelt down to appease his wife, the closed door was pushed open in a panic at this time.

"Clan...... Tribe...... Tribe...... Family ......"

"What's wrong? What kind of system is it that is panicked? Seeing this untimely intruder, Hinata wanted to scold him as before, but after seeing the mixed look on his face, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he continued to say while keeping his tone as calm as possible, "Something to say slowly, what's wrong?" ”

"Clan...... Cough...... Patriarch, ha, ha...... Hinata-sama she ...... She ......, "The sweaty and breathless Hyuga ninja kept taking deep breaths to soothe his lungs that were ignited by the intense exercise, and only after a long time did he intermittently reluctantly say what he wanted to say," Hinata-sama, she ...... Got it! Hinata-sama is still in the village, and he's standing at the gate of my territory! ”

"Hinata...... Found it, found it!? That's great! Husband, did you hear me? Hinata found it, but she wasn't kidnapped, and she's still in the village! Hinata's mother's eyes were glazed and she repeated the good news that the clan had brought back, and tears of joy kept sliding down her face, and she jumped and jumped in ecstasy despite the presence of the clansmen and threw herself into her husband's arms, leaving behind the majesty of her usual housewife.

"Oh, well, I hear you...... It's good to find it......" Hearing the news, Rizu's heart was filled with a huge surprise while resisting the urge to hug his wife and laugh and celebrate, trying to suppress the excited expression on his face and maintain the majesty of the patriarch, but he still couldn't avoid the trembling hands revealing the joy in his heart. "So what are you waiting for? Why don't you bring Hinata back quickly? ”

"About this...... Patriarch, listen to me......" The ninja of the Hyuga clan, who knew in his heart that he couldn't hide, sighed slightly, paused for a while, and then stepped forward to get closer in order to prevent the mistress in the excitement from being hit again, and continued in a low voice in Hinata's ear, "Hinata-sama has found it...... But...... The person who sent Hinata-sama back is likely to suddenly go berserk and hurt Hinata-sama, so that we don't dare to contact it rashly......"

"Hurt Hinata? Hmph, I think you're afraid of taking responsibility, right? Well, for Hinata's sake, I'll go there myself. Knowing that his daughter was at the door of his house, the boulder hanging in Hinata's heart finally fell to the ground, and after a pause, he frowned, and continued proudly and confidently, "Even the three generations of Hokage-sama want to give Hinata Hinata a few thin noodles, I want to see who in this Konoha Ninja Village ate the bear's heart leopard gall and has the courage to hurt my eldest lady of the Hyuga clan?" Say! Who is that person? ”

Unexpectedly, I thought that my words of exculpation would reassure the clansmen, but in fact, I saw a little ...... in the eyes of the clansmen Commiseration?!

"That person's name, Naruto Uzumaki......"

"......" Hinata Hinata had a smile on her face that faded away.

"Ah, Patriarch, if you can't remember who it is, Naruto Uzumaki, he's the nine-tailed monster that circulated in the village......" Hinata Hinata began to raise his feet and walk home.

"Huh? Patriarch, where are you going? Don't go, patriarch, it's the other way around! Didn't you promise to pick up Hinata in person? ”

“…… Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person! ”

The strongest war weapon in the village, the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, his own child actually stayed with such a dangerous monster, in case it was not handled properly, causing the Nine-Tails to run wild again...... Such a tricky reality made Hizoku regret that he didn't notify the three generations of Hokage in advance to deal with it, and suddenly felt a little crying without tears.

"Hinata...... Dad suddenly felt that it would be easier for you to solve it if you were kidnapped by the enemy......"

……

"Hinata, Hinata, Hinata...... Ah, I found it! ”

While Hinata Hinata was sighing worriedly, Naruto, who was leading Hinata around to look around, slowly stopped in front of the gate with the word "Hinata" on it.

Although Naruto knew that the Hyuga clan was one of the best clans in Konoha, the existence of the bloodstained boundary white eyes was comparable to the Uchiha clan, and the economic conditions must be much better than ordinary people...... But even though he was mentally prepared in advance, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva after seeing the orderly arrangement of tall houses in front of him.

"It's also the second generation of officials and the second generation of riches, why is the gap in this life so big?!" Thinking back to the contrast between the shabby and dilapidated cottage he lived in and the mansion in front of him, and thinking about Sasuke, who could ask for it from his father no matter what ninjutsu he wanted to learn, the corners of Naruto's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but muttered a little doubtful about life, "I usually don't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, the difficulty level of Naruto's birth was definitely purgatory...... It's really hard for him to live to the age of twelve safely and optimistically under these conditions......"

"Huh? What happened to you? ”

“…… It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just thinking, you live in a really big place...... There must be a lot of people with you here, right? Naruto, who came back to his senses due to the curious inquiries of the people next to him, couldn't help but reach out and scratch the tip of Hinata's small and cute nose, remembering the helpless crying appearance when he first saw this child, and then bent his eyes in surprised and shy eyes and joked, "With such a big house, why do you want to run away from home and cry on the side of the road alone?" ”

“…… Alas? I ......"

"Hehe, look at me, there is no one around, but don't you live a super-level happy every day?" [← Sasuke's heart didn't fluctuate when he heard this, but he just wanted to use the Howe Fireball Technique to make a red fire Naruto. 】

The thick-witted Naruto interrupted Hinata's blushing attempt to defend himself with a big grin, and after a bit of teasing, he slowly let go of the little hand that he was holding tightly, and turned around with his head in his hands and swaggered back in the direction he came.

Although the intention was to return the lost children of the Hyuga clan safely, as an unpopular demon fox, Naruto knew that it was better for him to stop there and return home, so as not to cause any unpleasantness due to a misunderstanding.

What's more, because of this little episode of sending people home, the rest of my leisure time to live alone tonight has consumed a lot...... Now that you've decided to start an action early to have some fun with Tuan Zang, you have to hurry up and go home and meet one of your tenants.

"Well, you're at the door, you should know how to get home next, right? So, I'll go first, goodbye! ”

“…… Ah, wait...... Wait a minute...... I don't know your name yet! ”

When Hinata, who had never found a chance to respond or was even flushed by Naruto's affectionate act of shaving the tip of his nose, came back to his senses, where did he find Naruto? After standing in the cold wind and looking around for a while, he pursed his lips and lowered his head a little to caress Naruto's coat and scarf on his body, and after a long time, his eyes gradually narrowed, and a bright smile rose on his cute little face where the blush subsided a little.

"Well, forget it...... The next time we meet and return these clothes to him, ask him again......"

"Huh? Father? After taking a deep breath and calming her expression back to nothing, Hinata turned around and prepared to go home, but to her surprise, she saw her father standing behind the door and only looking around...... The cautious and funny appearance was far from the image of his father who was not smiling, and Hinata couldn't help but ask curiously. "Are you here...... What to do? ”

“…… Oh, Hinata...... Uh-huh, didn't I come out to look for you...... Where the hell did you go, boy? After so long without finding anyone, your mother was so frightened by you that she thought you had been kidnapped by someone. Hizoku, who noticed his gaffe, coughed to hide the embarrassed look on his face, and while changing the topic to attract attention, he walked out from behind the door and continued to look around, "Speaking of which, what about the person who sent you back...... Isn't it? ”

“…… Right...... I'm sorry Dad, I'm ...... I just want to get my dead Uncle Hizashi back...... But I didn't expect to get lost and not come back...... Woo! Seeing his family again under the cold for a long time, the grievances and fears that Hinata had been enduring finally broke out, his eyes were red and choked, and he threw himself into Hizu's arms and rubbed lightly, and only after a long time did he answer in a sullen voice, "He sent me here and went back...... Now, Dad, I'll tell you! I met a good guy tonight, and he sent me home! You also invited me to eat...... Well...... Yes, I was invited to eat something called ramen, and it tasted good! And also, Dad, you see, these clothes on my body were taken off by him for fear that I would be cold and took off from himself to put on me, and ......"

Watching the daughter in her arms slowly stop crying in her own inquiry, she raised her head as if she had opened a conversation box, waving her fleshy little hands, and tried to describe to herself that the tear-stained little face that had happened tonight was gradually replaced by a smile, and there was no trace of hurt.

This couldn't help but make Hizoku feel relieved, but at the same time, listening to her daughter's mouth like a hero sincerely praising the "monster" depicted, I couldn't help but start to reflect in my heart.

The Nine-Tails Pillar Force that made him feel like a great enemy before, Naruto Uzumaki...... Is this little guy really a dangerous and terrifying monster as rumored in the village?
