Chapter 256: Sisters
Konoha, Hyuga Clan grounds.
Before Hinata even stepped through the main gate, a petite figure immediately threw herself at her.
It was Hanabi Hyuga.
Only reaching Hinata's chest level, her small head buried itself in the soft, thick waves, shaking constantly.
"Sister, I was so worried about you..."
She no longer hid her feelings for her sister.
In the past, she always tried to be strong, pretending to look down on her weak sister, but in reality, she loved her sister very much deep down.
It had reached the level of a sister complex.
Hearing that her sister was taken away, she had been regretting it the whole time.
Why didn't she express the feelings in her heart during normal times?
Why did she always pretend to be cold and scornful during sparring?
"Hinata." Hiashi Hyuga didn't stop walking. "While you were away, Hanabi was extremely worried about you."
"You sisters catch up properly. Father will go handle the relocation matters first."
After speaking, he left hurriedly. There were still many things waiting for him to handle.
"Sister..." Hanabi buried her small head in Hinata's chest, taking a deep breath, her small face intoxicated.
"Still fragrant and soft." She looked up at Hinata.
Her vision was mostly blocked by the Snow Seeds. A trace of doubt flashed in her pure white eyes.
"Sister... did you get bigger again?"
She measured while puzzling over it.
"Hanabi." Hinata hurriedly pressed down the mischievous small hands, gently stroking Hanabi's head.
"While Sister was away, I made you worry..."
"Sister lived very well during this time and didn't suffer any grievances or harm. You don't need to worry."
Life in the Sky Fortress was indeed good.
The food was better, and she didn't have to hide her amazing appetite, so she gained weight.
But it all went to the right places, which was why Hanabi noticed the change in size.
Hearing Hinata say she was fine personally, Hanabi finally relaxed.
With a happy face, she buried herself in her sister's broad embrace again.
The sisters hugged for a moment, then Hinata held Hanabi's hand and walked into the Hyuga estate together.
Back at the residence.
Living room.
Hinata knelt peacefully on the floor, her side waist and hip curve looking very tempting.
She smiled as she watched the excited Hanabi, who kept chattering non-stop.
From Gentle Fist to funny stories at the Ninja Academy, and the things that happened in the clan and Konoha during her absence, she said them all.
Phew...
After speaking a long string of things, Hanabi let out a long breath and finally stopped.
This was the first time she had chatted so frankly with her sister.
"Hanabi." Hinata patted her soft, bouncy thigh. "You must be tired from talking. Lie on Sister's lap and rest a bit."
Hanabi froze for a moment, then nodded somewhat shyly. "O... Okay."
Then she walked to Hinata's side and sat down, laying her small head across.
The back of her head instantly felt a softness, softer than a pillow.
It was just that her vision was completely blocked by the giant mountains lying across the sky, preventing her from seeing her sister's face.
Immediately, she shifted the back of her head outward, moving her right eye out from the shadow of the peaks.
Hinata gently combed Hanabi's somewhat messy long hair.
She couldn't help but lament internally. Unexpectedly, after returning this time, her relationship with her sister Hanabi had unknowingly become normal.
Intimate like ordinary sisters.
In the past, her sister was always stubborn and trained hard.
Always looking like she wanted to defeat her.
Actually, she understood that deep down, Hanabi was afraid of the division between the Main House and the Branch House.
She didn't want that ugly Caged Bird Seal carved on her forehead.
Hanabi rested on Hinata's thigh, staring blankly at Hinata.
And Hinata gently combed Hanabi's hair.
The sisters didn't speak for the time being.
The living room became quiet. The crisp chirping of birds came from outside the house.
They both enjoyed this warm atmosphere.
After a while, Hanabi looked at the familiar courtyard outside, saying somewhat gloomily:
"Sister, I heard Father say that our Hyuga Clan has to leave Konoha and move to Amegakure to live..."
"How is the environment there? I heard it rains all the time. Will it be very humid?"
"Not just our clan." Hinata said slowly, "Everyone in Konoha has to go to Amegakure."
"As for the rain issue, Hanabi doesn't need to worry. It will be solved."
She believed that in front of Lady Konan and Lord Alex's god-like power, there was no problem that couldn't be solved.
It was merely rain...
"Sister, do we really have to move?" Hanabi was reluctant to part.
After all, having lived here for over ten years, she was familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the clan grounds and Konoha.
Suddenly going to live in a strange region, it was inevitable to be anxious and worried.
"Hanabi." Hinata lowered her head to meet Hanabi's eyes. "Sister is here for everything. No need to fear living poorly in Amegakure."
"For a very, very long time in the future, we will be together."
"Mhm!" Hanabi's eyes lit up. "As long as I'm with Sister, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Hinata stroked Hanabi's forehead. "Hanabi, from now on, you don't need to worry about the Caged Bird Seal being carved here anymore."
"The Caged Bird that our clan has passed down for a thousand years... from now on, it won't be branded on the forehead of the next clansman."
"Really??!" Hanabi was very excited and instantly lifted her head.
But she was bounced back by the Snow Seeds in mid-air.
She really feared the Caged Bird deep in her heart.
Whether it was herself or Sister being branded with the Caged Bird, she couldn't accept it.
Hinata nodded. "It's true. I spoke to Father, and Father has already agreed."
"Father agreed?" Hanabi's small mouth formed an 'O', then she immediately asked, "What about the elders?"
She knew clearly how stubborn those Main House elders were.
Not only were they old and high in seniority, but their thinking was as rigid as stone.
Many rules had been passed down for a thousand years and had become outdated, but they insisted that all clansmen strictly abide by them.
No violations allowed, let alone tampering.
Everything for the glory of family tradition.
"They will agree." Hinata said calmly.
If their thinking remained stubborn and rotten, then it proved they weren't suitable for living in the new era.
She believed Father would handle it well.
Having seen higher scenery and knowing she would possess a long life and powerful strength in the future...
Hinata took many things lightly, and her personality had slowly changed.
She just needed to enjoy life properly with the people she cared about. Others were just passersby...
"Lady Hinata!" A Hyuga Branch House member stood outside the door, bowing, his tone extremely respectful.
"Ino Yamanaka has come to visit you. Will you receive her?"
