Chapter 163
This instantly plunged Hyuga Hazuki into an ice cellar, feeling a chill from head to toe.
"Na-Naruto… the candle…"
Hyuga Hazuki immediately forced a smile and explained why she was there.
"If it falls over and starts a fire, it'll be troublesome. I'll help you put it out…"
Hyuga Hazuki made a move, about to blow out the candle.
Naruto propped his head with one hand, watching the woman blow out the candle.
Now, the bright moonlight became the source of illumination.
In the darkness, Hyuga Hazuki's hazy face and body were faintly visible.
She slowly got up, about to leave, but Narutospoke up, "Aunt Hazuki… thank you."
"Mhm."
Hyuga Hazuki nodded, forcing another smile.
Then, she resumed her steps.
"Good night, Aunt Hazuki," Naruto said again.
"Mhm, good night." Hyuga Hazuki stopped again, then walked on.
Just as Hyuga Hazuki was taking small, slow steps towards the shoji door… Naruto suddenly appeared beside her and pressed down on the sliding door.
"Aunt Hazuki, you look… a bit unwell…"
Naruto stared intently at Hyuga Hazuki.
Hyuga Hazuki, sensing his gaze, dared not meet Naruto's eyes.
She only felt that the child's eyes had never been so fervent… "I… I… I'm a bit…"
Hyuga Hazuki nodded slightly.
"It just so happens that I've also had a nap and feel much more refreshed. Aunt Hazuki, let me take a look at you…"
Naruto gazed at her beautiful profile and said softly.
"Alright."
Hyuga Hazuki agreed.
So, she turned around and walked inside.
Whoosh.
Naruto closed the door, and shadows descended.
A moment later, Naruto, who had been diagnosing Hyuga Hazuki, came to a conclusion.
Hyuga Hazuki's follow-up treatment and consolidation required her to continue taking the Uzumaki Clan's restorative liquid medicine… which was the secret medicine.
"It's so late…"
Hyuga Hazuki lowered her head, looking at her chest, not daring to look up at all.
"Tomorrow…"
It's so late, is there nowhere to get medicine?
"It's alright, Aunt Hazuki."
Naruto waved his hand and stood up.
"Actually, I brought it with me when I came!"
With that, accompanied by a rustling sound, Naruto took out the secret medicine he had prepared long ago.
Hazuki, kneeling on the ground, subconsciously looked up.
Once she looked, she couldn't take her eyes off it… "Want to eat it, Aunt Hazuki?"
In the darkness, Naruto's lips curved into a devilish smile.
And Hyuga Hazuki, whose body was ailing, answered by her eyes involuntarily looking towards the medicine in Naruto's hand… "Very good."
Naruto's tone became slightly colder.
Then, Naruto spoke the two words he had said to Hyuga Natsu and the others.
"…"
Chapter 108: Hiashi, Who Discovered Nothing
Late at night.
Hyuga Natsu was suddenly awakened by a dream.
In her dream, she experienced something terrifying.
To be precise, it was a replay of what she had experienced at the time.
Slap.
She covered her face, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
For countless days and nights, she regretted what she had done.
However, there was no such thing as a regret medicine in the world.
Wrong was wrong.
No matter how she became hysterical, desperate, or collapsed, it was useless.
In recent years, as she grew more mature and pretty… her feminine charm was fully displayed.
Suikeido and other clan members continued to pursue her as always.
However, Hyuga Natsu rejected them all.
She rejected everyone with the aim of… serving the Main Family for life, but in reality, it was because she had already lost the most important thing.
In the Hyuga Clan, such a rigid and old-fashioned family, this was an unforgivable sin!
Once others found out, she would certainly be executed according to clan rules.
Thus, careful and always hiding everything, she survived until today.
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Hyuga Natsu got up and put on her clothes… which was actually her maid outfit.
After all, as someone who needed to serve the Main Family, she usually slept in an inner kimono.
She slid open the door.
Outside, the moon was as large as a silver platter.
The bright moonlight illuminated Hyuga Natsu's pretty face.
She walked through the corridor and soon arrived at Naruto's lodging.
"!"
Hyuga Natsu immediately stopped and froze.
Because she didn't know why she had walked this way.
Was it to fulfill a maid's duty?
Or… was it because of what she thought about during the day, she dreamed about at night?
Because she witnessed the Main Family's matriarch being treated by Uzumaki Naruto, so… she had some thoughts?
And because during this period, she indeed hadn't… that.
The side effects brought by the Yin Release Chakrain her body also continuously produced a hot current.
"Ugh~."
Hyuga Natsu let out an incredulous wail.
Her eyes reddened as she realized her own depravity.
Had she actually come to this point?!
To actually actively go… to find… him, seeking healing.
Her heart filled with resentment, she fell into self-pity and stood there for a long time.
Just as she couldn't say what to do next and was about to go back… suddenly, Hyuga Natsu saw the door to Naruto's room slide open.
"?"
The internal rooms where Hyuga guests stayed all had complete furniture sets, so there was no need to come out.
Or was Uzumaki Naruto hungry?
Hyuga Natsu's suspicious gaze soon turned to shock.
Because… the one who hurriedly walked out of Naruto's room was not Naruto, but the Main Family's matriarch!
In the deep night, Hyuga Hazuki hurried along, her guilty demeanor making Hyuga Natsu, who was already frozen in place, feel even more bewildered.
"Ah…"
Realizing something, Hyuga Natsu quickly hid behind a pillar.
Then she continued to observe quietly from a distance.
Hyuga Hazuki, taking small, quick steps, looked left and right.
She raised her arm, constantly wiping her mouth, seemingly afraid of being discovered by others.
The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan's perception was superior to the Sharingan's three tomoe.
Hyuga Natsu, hiding behind the pillar, covered her mouth in disbelief, because she clearly saw… when the madam wiped her mouth, those… At this moment, Hyuga Natsu was incredibly shocked, but also felt it was natural.
After all… but even the madam… then was the entire Hyuga Clan still alright?
Hyuga Natsu's mind was in chaos, feeling as if her head was exploding.
This shocking scene made her involuntarily press her lips together.
Thus, she gazed at the Main Family matriarch's back until she passed the corner and disappeared on the other side of the corridor… "What are you looking at?"
At this moment, Naruto's voice suddenly sounded from behind her back.
Hyuga Natsu, who had been overly focused on the Main Family matriarch and ignored other things, was startled.
"Na-Naruto-sama…"
Hyuga Natsu immediately lowered her head, not daring to look up at Naruto.
Because if you walk the night road too much, you might encounter thieves.
And sometimes… — you might encounter a terrifying Tailed Beast monster.
"Get me some bathwater, I just sweated a lot." Naruto said that it was too hot here in the Hyuga Clan.
"Ye-Yes…"
