Chapter 18: What the Heart Thinks

The three Hokages should have noticed the glance that Hinata had just looked, but he didn't say anything.

But this attitude inexplicably made me feel a little uneasy. It's like a cheetah that will always hide in the shadows and observe quietly and patiently before seizing the opportunity to kill its prey with one blow.

"Wouldn't it be better to abstain?" But neither Nene nor Hinata had yet to notice what the observation of the high-ranking person meant.

The black-haired and white-eyed girl, her thoughts are still on Taketori Mai's body.

Because he didn't think that Hinata could be his opponent, his tone was a little absent-minded. "Hinata? Do you think you've won me? ”

"Well, at least ......" Hinata struggled to recall the demeanor and tone of "that one", as if she could become as confident and courageous as "her" by imitating her attitude as close as possible to her.

"It's worth a try......!"

"Looks ...... Something happened that I don't know, huh? ”

“……!”

Seeing Hinata's expression stiff and flustered for a moment, Ning Ning pursed her lips slightly: "You're not good at lying, Hinata." ”

And before the words fell, her palms were out.

Seeing Ning Ning's shot, it was so fast that there was an afterimage, Hinata couldn't keep up with her speed at all, and she couldn't even make a prediction move, so she could only widen her eyes in vain, and subconsciously curled up her body to protect herself when she was knocked out and landed.

"Ahem......!"

The short-haired girl endured the pain, and was a little embarrassed to prop herself up from the ground, she raised her head with difficulty, looked at the black-haired girl standing in front of her, took a deep breath, and clenched her fists.

Sister-sama......

Thinking of the girl's flamboyant look, as if nothing had been put in her eyes with pride and confidence, Hinata trembled like a newborn deer, but she was still stubborn and stubborn, and stood up.

Since......

She thought to herself, ever since you showed up......

You are my goal, my role model, and I decide where to go......

You're the figure I'm chasing.

Only, as long as I think of you, I don't know why, deep in my heart, there will be endless courage......

Because...... Because......

You say, you are me......

You, who didn't even pay attention to your father, never treated me like this...... A look of disdain and disappointment......

Looking at you, I will think, maybe, that I am not so bad......

Although, even myself, I don't have much confidence......

However, you, whom I trust so much, have faith in me!

Seeing Hinata staggering and swaying in a soft fist stance, Ning Ning didn't think she could pose any threat to herself.

And this fact can be seen by many people present.

Therefore, Ning Ning stood in front of Hinata completely for a long time, but she seemed so relaxed and did not have the slightest hint of nervousness.

"Have you seen him?" In order to ask more about what she wanted to know, she wasn't ready to simply eliminate Hinata as soon as she went up.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

Ning Ning easily dodged Hinata's onrushing attack, and even had the spare strength to ask in the gap between the opponent's attacks: "-Have you seen Hinata Ningji?" ”

"Yes." After the two fought, they briefly retreated from the confrontation. Hinata gasped in surprise and said, "Brother Ningji...... Did you go to Sister Ning Ning? ”

"Sure enough......" Ning Ning showed an indifferent expression of "I know": "This kind of news, the eldest lady of the Zong family has known it for a long time, right?" ”

"No, it's not, Sister Ningning......"

……

"It's completely suppressed......" Seeing this, the third Hokage said softly. It's the daughter of the Hyuga family. ”

"Ahh

"Separation and clan...... Hinata Nene ...... Is it Hinata Hinata's daughter? ”

"Hmm."

The three generations of Hokage adjusted their posture slightly and did not speak. But I don't know why, I always feel that he may be thinking about things like "what can be done with the discord between the Hyuga family and the clan family" now.

Soon, he spoke again: "...... Is the 'person on the other side' of the Hyuga family what Hinata said just now, 'Hinata Ninji'? ”

“……”

What should I do if I suddenly want to disappear directly?

I'm so tired of this set of words! I just want to watch the qualifiers!

Why did I come here because I thought the Hokage had a better view around me!? That position on the sidelines, isn't it fragrant?!

Fortunately, at this moment, a shadow appeared and interrupted my conversation with the Hokage.

I saw him approaching the three generations of Hokage, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Hokage-sama, news has just come from the Fog Hidden Village, Mizukage-sama will arrive in Konoha at the same time as Kazekage-sama around eight o'clock tomorrow. ”

As soon as I heard the word "Kazekage-sama", the three generations of Hokage and I couldn't help but glance at each other and exchanged glances.

……

"You know what, Hinata?"

And in the field, the situation has completely taken on a one-sided situation.

After Ning Ning knocked Hinata to the ground again, she squatted down, staring at the scarred girl with her eyes down, but her expression was very cold.

"I'm dead, huh?"

"Ning...... Sister Ning......? ”

"Ningci, I said that in another world, in order to protect you and your sweetheart, I died. Maybe it was like my father was abandoned - but he died much earlier, at the age of 18, and died at the age of 18. ”

"And unlike him, I heard you're doing well, Hinata. got together with the person I liked, gave birth to a son, a daughter, stepped on his corpse, and lived a very happy life...... Even if all the worlds are destroyed, in the remaining world, Ning Ci is still dead, but you can live a long life...... What do you think is the reason for this? Hinata? ”

“……”

"Don't I have someone I like? Can't I be with someone I like? Ning Ning lowered her voice and grabbed Hinata's neck, "Why don't I even have the freedom to be with the person I like, but I still have to risk my life to protect you?!" ”

"That's just ......!" Hinata said with some difficulty: "That's just, the ...... of other worlds Fate is just ......! ”

Ning Ning looked at her fixedly, and suddenly said, "So, do you want to try a new destiny?" ”

"What, what?"

"You, Hinata Hinata, die at the fate of this moment."

“!!!”

As soon as this remark came out, all four were shocked. Fortunately, the moonlight blast reacted in time, and appeared in the field in an instant, grabbing Ning Ning's wrist.

Shangnin, who always coughs non-stop, has heavy dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes are full of unquestionable determination: "I should have explained in detail, the exam rules, right?" Hinata Nening? ”

Hinata Ningning met the eyes of the moonlight blast, but saw that the calm dark eyes were like a mirror, questioning what she was doing and what she wanted to get.

Being stared at so harshly, Ning Ning was silent for a moment, and then slowly let go of his hand.

She watched as Hinata fell to her knees, coughing with difficulty, and was immediately protected by her companions who had arrived in a hurry.

"I mean, you're going too far, aren't you?!" After checking Hinata's injuries, he stood up angrily, turned his head and yelled at Ning Ning, "Aren't you her sister?" No matter how ruthless you are, there is a limit!? ”

Sensing his master's anger, Akamaru followed him at his feet, leaning down towards Ninin and letting out a faint roar from deep in his throat.

"Ning Ning!!" At this time, Tian and Naruko also jumped down and rushed to her side. It's just that this time it was indeed Ning Ning who shot too hard, and they didn't know that they were at a loss, so they couldn't refute anything, so they could only wrap their arms around Ning Ning's shoulders every day, separate her from Hinata, and bring her to the sidelines, worrying about her current mental condition: "Are you okay?" ”

“……”

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Naruko couldn't help but reach out and grab her fingertips, and said uneasily: "Ning Ning......?" ”

Ning Ning shook her head at Naruko, signaling that she was fine. Then he looked at Tian Tian again.

"...... every day"

"Huh? Well! I'm here! ”

"Sorry...... I'm a little tired, I may not be able to go to the dinner party for barbecue......"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Tian Tian hurriedly said: "If you are tired, just rest well, right?" Shall we send you back in a moment? ”

"No need." Ning Ning shook her head and straightened away from her friend's arm: "I can do it myself." ”

Seeing that she didn't want to speak, Tian Tian and Naruko glanced at each other, and suddenly exchanged a headache in a whisper: "What should I do?" ”

"I don't know...... Ning Ning looked like she was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk...... What's going on? ”

"Alas...... We met the examiner in the Forest of Death...... And then the examiner suddenly turned into a different person! A man named Hinata Ninji...... He said it was Ningning from another world...... Then, he said that he died trying to save Hinata! Don't you think it's like saying that Ning Ning is also likely to die early? And Ning Ning couldn't figure out why she was dying for Hinata...... I think it's because of this that Ning Ning's mood is so bad......"

Hearing this, Naruko was stunned for a moment, thinking of the four generations of Hokage.

"Did you meet it too?" The one on the other side'? ”

"Ahh Naruko, you know that too!? ”

……

After the qualifiers, the winners were drawn to determine the roster for the official tournament in a month's time.

Ning Ning glanced at the list and saw that his opponent was Uchiha Sana, so he stuffed the signing paper into his pocket without interest, turned around and left alone.

I don't know why, obviously my best friend is by my side, and as long as I say it, Tian Tian and Naruko will definitely accompany me, but Ning Ning still feels an inexplicable loneliness that goes deep into the bone marrow.

It is a chasm divided by fate, a gap between life and death.

I don't want to die......

Why me......

Why do I have to die......

However, when she only felt disheartened and walked through the training field and left the examination area, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing not far ahead.

"Ning Ning!"

The man waved his hand vigorously at her, as if he had just arrived, and he was a little short of breath: "I thought you should almost finish the exam at this time, so I came over and waited for you-"

"Huh...... Wow!! Wait, wait, Ning Ning - you, why are you crying? ”

Seeing him rush to him in a panic, he couldn't find a tissue all over his body, and he could only clumsily tug his sleeve to carefully wipe her tears, just now Hinata Ningning, who obviously felt that her body and mind were as heavy as lead, suddenly couldn't help but laugh and think, she would never tell him that she had a handkerchief in her pocket.

Maybe...... Perhaps, it's not that there is any estrangement with them every day.

Maybe......

It's just that at this time, I just want to see him.
