Chapter 161 Hinata: My First Kiss
"Yo, Hinata, good morning."
Naruto looked at Hinata, who had arrived at the 4th training ground early, and gave her a shy smile.
"Um, good morning, Naruto-kun."
Hinata paused for a moment, then pulled Naruto inside to sit down.
"My father was very reluctant to let me go last night when he learned that I was going out on a mission."
She gathered her long hair and slowly tied it into a high ponytail, while speaking to Naruto.
Actually, the situation last night was even more... serious than Hinata described.
Hiashi: Oh, this is some kind of tonic!
My daughter, whom I've raised for twelve years, is going to be staying out all night?
And with that wretched blond guy by her side!!!
Hiashi had an extremely unhappy facial expression.
Although Hiashi acted indifferently in front of Hinata, he rested his chin on his hand and stared blankly at the family of four in the photo when he returned to his study.
"Fireworks too, they can't bear to part with me."
Fireworks?
Naruto remembered the little dumpling who kept complaining that he had stolen her sister, and then asked, "She didn't say anything bad about me, did she?"
"Arno...uh-huh."
Hinata hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a fleeting look in her eyes.
Yes, that's right, he must be talking badly about himself again.
"Hey, which tow truck are you calling!"
A person pushed open the door and walked in, followed by the red-haired man who had run away halfway through the walk.
"Hey bro, I'm here!"
Karin jumped out, revealing her little tiger teeth.
"You... never mind, have you packed everything?"
Naruto rubbed his head. Oh well, Karin has liked Sasuke since they were little anyway.
"Yes, I brought everything: blankets, sheets, a kettle, and some emergency food and medicine."
Karin threw the bag she was carrying to the ground, unzipped it to reveal several sealing scrolls inside, and pointed to each one.
Naruto nodded in satisfaction, and now all that was left was to wait for Kakashi-sensei to arrive.
"Next up is the king of late arrivals. I wonder when he'll finally arrive."
Naruto turned around and lay down on the bed inside the cabin, while Hinata sat beside him, looking at Naruto's face.
You can't talk about your teacher like that!
A plaintive voice came from Naruto's ear, but no one present was surprised.
"Well, it's because you're hiding there and not saying anything, Kakashi-sensei."
Naruto's eyebrows twitched, then he stood up, opened his eyes, and looked at Kakashi-sensei, who was holding a scroll in his hand.
"Seventh Class, come with me to the mission hall. This mission is a C-level escort mission, and we need to leave the village."
Kakashi straightened up and then looked at the four little ones.
As expected, since any C-rank ninja mission carries the risk of death, and why would the safe village of Konoha give them C-rank missions?
"Is it an escort mission to escort a daimyo from some country?"
Naruto looked at Kakashi with his eyes wide open and raised his hand.
Kakashi's lips twitched.
Who has a C-rank mission that involves escorting a daimyo?
If a daimyo is to be escorted, it should at least be a B-rank mission, and that's for daimyo from small countries.
Escorting the daimyo of the five great nations is at least an A-rank mission.
Before I even saw Asuma, he went to the Daimyo's territory to gain experience and even became one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
Now his bounty has risen to 18 million.
"Naruto-kun, we're only on a C-rank escort mission."
Hinata whispered in Naruto's ear.
"Of course not, come with me first."
Kakashi covered his forehead, then disappeared from the spot, clearly heading to the mission hall.
Naruto: o((⊙﹏⊙))o Oh well, at least we can leave the village now.
I wonder if I can use the things that Master and Kurama gave me.
"Let's go too."
Naruto turned to the other three and spoke, then the golden Tailed Beast Cloak spread out from his body, and he transformed into a golden light and headed towards the Hokage Building.
"boring."
Sasuke watched Naruto leave quickly, uttered two words softly, and then, with lightning flashing around him, he too transformed into a bolt of lightning and departed.
"Hey bro, you haven't given me my... yet."
Before Karin could finish speaking about the previous buff, even Naruto had disappeared, leaving only Hinata by her side.
ᕙ༼ ͝°益° ༽ᕗ
Damn it, bro, are you just going to leave your cute little sister here like this?!
"Hinata-nee, thank goodness you're here. Let's walk over there and let them wait for us."
Karin grasped Hinata's slender hand and said indignantly.
"Okay, sure."
Hinata could actually catch up, since she's quite fast, but it wouldn't be good to leave Karin here alone.
"Naruto-kun, really..."
Hinata murmured softly, then came to her senses and saw Karin's gossipy eyes.
"Hinata-neechan~ Can I ask you something about my brother?"
Karin tugged at Hinata's sleeve and asked in a coquettish tone.
Hinata's ears turned red, but she still nodded, since walking in silence was still quite awkward.
Then Karin kept asking all sorts of questions, from their elopement that night to holding hands, and Hinata's face turned a little red, but it was still within an acceptable range, until—
"Hey, Hinata-nee, have you and my brother ever done *that*?"
Karin's voice was filled with inquiry and curiosity, a question uttered entirely out of the gossipy instinct inherent in human nature.
"Huh? What's that?"
Hinata's ears turned red; she hadn't expected Karin to be so bold.
"It's that... kiss."
Karin seemed a little shy, but she still spoke up for the sake of gossip.
(all)
Hinata, who was originally shy, suddenly became a different person, and her shyness disappeared.
"Um, no, but Naruto-kun's first kiss is gone."
Hinata felt a rare surge of mischievousness and then said in a suggestive manner.
"Are you there!!!"
Karin stared intently at Hinata, her eyes wide with shock. What incredible news this was! How could she possibly have the right to hear it?
"Who is it?! How dare they steal Hinata's man?!"
Karin said indignantly, while observing Hinata's emotions, something seemed off.
You know that person?
Hinata's voice seemed to possess a magical power, causing Karin to completely ignore Hinata's increasingly comical emotions.
"Huh?! Could it be Ino? Or Sakura?"
Karin raised her hand and began eliminating them one by one.
"Put your ear here."
Hinata waved to Karin, then whispered the person's name into Karin's ear.
Karin: anticipation, super anticipation, abruptly stopped, silence, petrification, utter madness.
"Ahhhh?! How is this possible?!"
