Chapter 35: Night Visit to the Hyuga
After the system's prompt sounded, Naruto froze for a moment and opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
The check-in location was Hinata's bedroom?
Wouldn't that mean he had to check in inside Hinata's room?
He glanced at the time. The moon was already high in the night sky, and the party had just ended.
By now, Hinata had probably made it home and was getting ready to wash up and rest.
She might even be asleep already.
Did he really want to sneak into Hinata's room while she was sleeping just to sign in?
Naruto shook his head and carefully checked the check-in location several more times.
The answer was undoubtedly Hinata's bedroom. After confirming he hadn't misread it earlier, he let out a breath.
At this hour, if Hinata wasn't asleep yet, things would be even worse.
But he couldn't just skip signing in. If he didn't sign in at the random location, it would stay there forever, and the next check-in location wouldn't refresh either.
Plus, the rewards for each random check-in were very generous. They could bring a huge improvement to Naruto's strength.
With the current situation, Naruto urgently needed to get stronger.
So Naruto took a deep breath and decided to try sneaking into the Hyuga clan at night.
After exhaling, he made up his mind and set off, leaving little Sakura behind still thinking about her own training plan.
The Hyuga Clan
As one of Konoha's most famous families, the Hyuga clan was also very heavily guarded.
It was late, and there were ninja from the Hyuga clan patrolling and keeping watch.
When Naruto arrived, he spotted the Hyuga ninja immediately and lurked out of sight.
He knew how strong the Hyuga clan was.
As one of Konoha's top combat clans, the Hyuga possessed a powerful Kekkei Genkai and dōjutsu—the Byakugan.
The Byakugan's detection abilities and supporting capabilities were extremely strong. When trained to its limits, not only could it provide a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of vision, but it could also see the flow of chakra in the surrounding environment. It could even see a ninja's meridians and tenketsu points.
Not only that, but the Byakugan could also enhance its insight by strengthening chakra, allowing the user to see things over a kilometer away. Its insight ability was unmatched.
Naruto knew that the Hyuga's Byakugan detection ability was powerful. Even a patrolling ninja shouldn't be underestimated. So he didn't act recklessly.
Instead, he took a breath on the spot and prepared to cast a few Kidō to hide his figure and conceal his chakra.
Then Naruto silently chanted to himself:
"Bakudō #26: Bent Light!"
"White Clothes!"
Bakudō #26, Bent Light, was a concealing Kidō used to hide the caster's form, making it impossible for others to see their body. And White Clothes was used to hide their presence and chakra.
After casting these two Kidō, Naruto's figure seemed to vanish from the eyes of others.
White Clothes in particular—the Kidō that hid chakra—was originally used by Ichimaru Gin to deceive Aizen, making Aizen believe that Gin had killed Rangiku and cast a high-level Kidō. Its effectiveness spoke for itself.
With his current level of strength, Naruto was confident he could fool the Byakugan's detection.
Not to mention, the patrolling ninja were just ordinary members of the Hyuga family. Their Byakugan hadn't been trained to a very high level. That made Naruto even more confident that he wouldn't be discovered.
After casting the spells, Naruto took a deep breath and began to move.
His figure skillfully evaded the detection of the Hyuga patrolling ninja, and Naruto slipped into the Hyuga mansion.
The Hyuga family truly deserved its reputation as a prestigious clan. The mansion's living quarters were very spacious. The courtyard alone was big enough to be used as a training ground.
After quietly entering the mansion, Naruto began sensing for Hinata's presence. Once he located her, he moved quietly toward her room.
Through the window, Naruto saw the scene inside Hinata's bedroom.
Hinata was already lying down, covered with a blanket, breathing softly. Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly. She looked gentle and peaceful, as if she had already fallen asleep.
Seeing this, Naruto let out a breath. If Hinata hadn't been asleep, this would have been much harder. But fortunately, she seemed to be resting.
Gently pushing the door open without making a sound, Naruto walked in slowly, careful not to wake her.
Once inside Hinata's room, Naruto took a look around.
Hinata's room was very simple. There were small and large decorations, along with a clothes rack, a wardrobe, and a dressing table. For a girl's room, nothing was missing.
On the clothes rack hung the clothes Hinata had been wearing earlier that day, including her undergarments. Seeing the pink color and style, Naruto couldn't help but blush. A rush of heat surged through him.
Apparently, Hinata had already changed clothes and gone to sleep.
After taking a few deep breaths, Naruto tried to calm himself down. Then he closed his eyes and silently said in his heart:
"System, sign in at Hinata's room."
After a moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding… Signing in for the host at Hinata's bedroom."
"Ding… Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in at Hinata's bedroom."
"Reward received: [Teigu: Pumpkin Romance Fortress]!"
"Reward received: [Mangekyō Sharingan Awakening Card]!"
"Reward received: [Byakuya Kuchiki Template Experience: 3.7%]!"
"Byakuya Kuchiki template was previously 89.7% unlocked. Adding the 3.7% bonus from this sign-in… congratulations, host. You have unlocked the Byakuya Kuchiki template to 93.4%!"
"The remaining rewards have been sent to the system space. The host may check them at any time."
