Chapter 185 Hiashi: Yellow hair it is
"What's wrong? Why have you been outside for so long?"
Hiashi pushed open the door and came out.
When he heard Hinata's voice, Hiashi's face was beaming with joy.
He then took a little time to calm himself down, sat down in a chair, picked up the newspaper, and began to read, wanting to give his daughter a composed impression when she came home.
But Hiashi didn't expect Hinata to stay in the yard for so long.
Unable to contain his excitement, he straightened his clothes and came out.
"Ah, Father."
Hinata put Naruto down and greeted Hiashi.
"Hmm, this is... Naruto?"
Although Hiashi didn't roll his eyes, his extensive experience told him that this strangely expressiony cat was definitely the blond one.
"Oh, hello uncle."
Suddenly, white mist burst forth around the cat, and then Naruto appeared where the cat had been standing.
"Hmm, it seems you've remembered what I said last time; you've made progress."
Hiashi nodded in satisfaction; it seemed Naruto had taken his words to heart.
Since he sneaked in like this, the elders couldn't say anything.
Anyway, their daughters were already completely smitten with this blond guy, and they couldn't change it even if they wanted to, so they might as well let him in.
"Let's have lunch together."
Hiashi gave Miko a look, and she nodded before going to inform the head chefs, who had been on leave for more than ten days, to return to work.
"Hinata, did you encounter any danger during this mission?"
Although he knew that Hinata's abilities would almost certainly not pose any problems during a C-rank mission, the father's concern was still piqued.
Hinata shook her head and followed Hiashi into the living room, where she sat on the sofa and started talking to him about the mission.
"What?!"
"Falsely reporting the mission level?!"
Hiashi, whose mission had started off fairly normally, suddenly frowned when two demon brothers appeared.
Seriously, what's Kakashi up to?
He's still insisting on doing this kind of mission.
"Don't worry, Uncle Hiashi, with me here, Hinata will be fine."
Naruto patted his chest and said confidently.
"Hehe, by the way, Naruto, have you been competing with Hinata lately?"
Hiashi stared at Naruto with a strange look and asked.
"Huh? No."
Naruto scratched his head and looked into Hiashi's eyes as he answered.
"Oh."
Hiashi smiled dismissively, then continued to ask his daughter about what had happened during the incident.
"Hey! Uncle, you just made fun of me, didn't you! You definitely did!"
Naruto scoffed and then ignored Hiashi, starting to yell, which earned him the attention of both father and daughter.
"Hey Naruto, not to be rude, but Hinata's strength doesn't require your protection."
Hiashi revealed just the right amount of smugness as he explained to Naruto.
"No, Naruto-kun is working very hard to protect me."
Hinata spoke up against her father, but Hiashi didn't oppose her and nodded repeatedly.
"Really?"
Naruto tilted his head, looking at Hinata's profile.
Although he and Hinata hadn't sparred in a year, Hinata was always the one who stopped first.
Could it be... that Hinata has been letting me win all along?!
Hinata, seeing that Naruto was actually starting to think, moved to his side with a hint of helplessness and whispered in his ear, "Naruto-kun, I'm really not as strong as you."
This is true.
After all, Naruto has a Nine-Tails inside him, and while Hinata has a lot of chakra, it's not as monstrous as a tailed beast.
With Naruto's Wood Release, Hinata could at best fight Naruto to a draw, and eventually her chakra would be exhausted.
(all)
Naruto looked at Hinata's profile, the scent of shampoo wafting into his nose, and he sniffed it.
"I don't believe you. Let's find some time to spar again.
Don't hold back your skills."
Naruto leaned close to Hinata's ear and whispered something in return.
Hinata trembled slightly (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄, hesitated for a few breaths, then nodded and said, "But you have to promise me you'll use your full strength too."
It wouldn't be good if I accidentally hurt Naruto because he was going easy on me.
"Don't worry, I've always given my all to Hinata-chan."
Naruto stared intently into Hinata's eyes and said with a smile.
"Ahem, Naruto, is there anything else worth mentioning about this mission?"
Hiashi coughed heavily, looking at Naruto with a slightly threatening gaze, and said through gritted teeth.
Seriously, I'm still here, and you're already trying to flirt with my daughter?!
That's incredibly daring!
"Oh, we've run into Zabuza-san."
Naruto sat back down and answered Hiashi's question.
"I see, then that is indeed a bit difficult."
Hiashi nodded.
He must be a somewhat famous ninja. But with Kakashi leading the team, Zabuza should probably choose to abandon the mission.
"Then we caught them."
? ? ?
Hiashi looked at Naruto, his eyes filled with the implication that Naruto was just teasing him.
"It's true, he and a boy named Haku have been taken to the Hokage Building by Kakashi-sensei."
Naruto felt that Hiashi didn't believe him, so he continued to add to the story.
Zabuza? Kirigakure's Kijin Zabuza? !
"Is it the one from Kirigakure?!"
Hiashi's voice was a bit loud, after all, Zabuza's identity and strength were not to be underestimated.
Naruto nodded.
After the three of them chatted for about ten minutes with fireworks on their backs, Miko brought up the dishes and rice.
After Naruto finished his meal, he said goodbye to Hinata and headed towards his home.
"Hey, when you get home, remember to clean up!"
Naruto heard his mother's voice from the sealed space into his mind.
He patted his swollen belly and nodded.
Naruto can just let the wood clone clean up; he wants to lie in bed and get a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile, Hiashi began to think about many things.
First of all, Zabuza, as a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, has fallen into the hands of Konoha, and can become a sharp sword for Konoha to open up Kirigakure.
At that time, we might be able to get back the stolen Byakugan from the main family.
After all, with Konoha's current strength, getting the Byakugan back wouldn't be an easy task.
Wait, there's one more thing!
"Hinata, when Kakashi comes back, ask him what the rank of this mission is.
If it's still C-rank, be sure to tell me, and I'll go find the Hokage."
Hiashi spoke solemnly to Hinata.
You know, these days, to measure a ninja's seniority, you have to look at the missions they've completed, right?
My daughter's first mission outside the village involved encountering a rogue ninja from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
It should at least be an A-rank mission.
In addition, we successfully captured the enemy, so we might be able to get S-rank!
