Konoha: I am Uzumaki Naruto, the sober man in the world

"I'm grown up and have my own judgment."Hinata took a deep breath and continued,"You don't need to worry about these things, father." Hyuga Hiashi turned around with a confused look on his face, looking at his daughter who left angrily, completely at a loss.

I just wanted to invite that child to have dinner at home, what did I say wrong?

Hyuga Hiashi really couldn't understand the thoughts of an adolescent girl........

Walking towards her room angrily, Hinata put her hands in her pockets, her face full of anger, and walked all the way with a stern face, cold as ice.

"elder sister……"

The little sister Hanabi tried to greet her elder sister, but was ignored by her angry elder sister.

That cold expression made Hanabi a little difficult to accept.

Her elder sister, who had always been timid, suddenly became as cheerful as an ordinary girl. Such a change made Hanabi herself a little difficult to accept.

The next day's training was the same as before, and Naruto still gave Hinata special training hand in hand.

That......Naruto-kun, my father wants to invite you to have dinner at my house tonight.

After early morning training, the two came to Yakiniku and planned to solve the lunch problem here.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Hinata said this sentence with some trepidation.

""Oh, I see."

Naruto didn't pay much attention to it, just treating it as an ordinary dinner.

However, Hinata was deeply worried. She thought her father might want Naruto to stay away from her, or even intend to break them up. With this dinner tonight, her father might want to take the opportunity to warn Naruto.

Although Hinata was resolute last night, she was still worried about her father's authority.

At home, the father keeps his word and is the symbol of the head of the family.

This concept was deeply imprinted in Hinata's heart when she was young.

Although Hyuga Hiashi did not explicitly ask Hinata to break up with Naruto, Hinata reasoned on her own under the conservative impression. , and unconsciously think in a bad direction.

Even if Hyuga Hiashi didn't mean that.

But who can blame this introverted person for always having a stern face? He obviously loves his daughter very much in his heart, but he doesn't want to show it. From time to time, he also belittles his daughter and plays the role of a strict father.

No wonder Hinata would think the wrong way.

This is because of the misunderstanding caused by the lack of good communication between father and daughter. The two sides do not understand each other and have prejudices against each other.

As long as Hyuga Hiashi can put down the mask, stop putting on a serious look, and have a good talk with his daughter, this prejudice and misunderstanding will disappear.

But it may be extremely difficult for this introverted person to do this.

Seeing Naruto's dissatisfaction with this matter Hinata was extremely anxious.

Obviously, Naruto didn't realize his father's intention, so he acted so relaxed.

But Hinata was embarrassed to tell Naruto directly, so she could only worry.

Looking at Hinata's hesitant expression.

Naruto recalled the serious face of Hyuga when he sent Hinata home last night, and guessed something in his heart. Does n't he want me to be with Hinata?

If it was that conservative old stubborn, he might really think so.

However, Naruto didn't say anything.

After the exam, he will leave the village on his own.

He can't promise the other party a future.

Because just Even Naruto himself is not sure what his future will be like.

But there is one thing he is sure of, that is, his life will be full of twists and turns and wandering.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, without the protection of Konoha Village, he will inevitably attract many hidden threats.

With Naruto's strength, there is absolutely no problem in protecting himself.

But as for taking the other party out of the village...

Naruto just had this idea and immediately dismissed it.

Oh, you guys, long time no see.

A familiar voice broke the silence.

Naruto looked up and found Shikamaru, Choji and Ino walking towards him.

They seemed to have just enjoyed a meal, and Shikamaru still had a toothpick in his mouth.

""Oh, it's you guys."

Naruto greeted them in a lukewarm tone.

He, Choji, Shikamaru and Kiba used to be good friends who could talk about anything.

But Naruto felt that this kind of friendship was just a hindrance to him now, and he even wanted to escape.

So he chose to respond coldly.

""Why are you eating together?"

Looking at the cold Naruto, Shikamaru tried to find a topic to chat.

Chouji, who was wearing underwear, was eating potato chips. The barbecue he had just eaten did not make him feel full.

Only Ino noticed something was wrong.

"Because Naruto and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's normal for us to eat together."

Hinata mustered up the courage to explain before Naruto.

Shikamaru's toothpick fell to the ground, and he was confused.

Even Choji, who was eating potato chips, stopped eating them.

Ino froze in her place.

"Boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?……"

Shikamaru pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and chuckled.

He silently glanced at Ino beside him and found that her condition was as he expected. Her eyes had lost their luster and her whole body seemed to be frozen in place.

After secretly mourning for her, Shikamaru came back to his senses and continued to find a topic:"You have been full of topics recently. The rebel ninja named Orochimaru attacked Konoha some time ago."

"You killed so many snakes in one go, and you became famous. Now you are a hero of Konoha. The Hokage even promoted you to the rank of Jonin."

""Hmm."

Naruto still responded in a lukewarm tone, but his heart was filled with a kind of coldness that made people stay away, which confused Shikamaru.

At this time, the waiter brought the barbecue.

"Since your barbecue is here, we will leave first, you can enjoy it slowly."Shikamaru sighed slightly, it is better to leave than to be embarrassed here.

After saying goodbye to Naruto, Shikamaru took Ino, who looked dull and lost, away

"They were Naruto-kun's good friends before.���, why are you so cold to them?"

Hinata thought for a moment and asked carefully

"It's nothing, don't think about it, we should go to training after eating." Naruto deliberately avoided the topic, and Hinata saw this and didn't ask any more questions.

In such a depressing atmosphere, the two began to eat. It should have been a happy time between lovers, but it seemed quite heavy.

After an afternoon of training, dusk gradually deepened.

Naruto and Hinata stepped into the Hyuga clan's territory, and both seemed a little uneasy.

""Sister, Dad is waiting in the living room, let's go quickly."

The younger sister Hanabi was waiting at the door and led them into the clan's territory.

In the restaurant, Hinata Hiashi was as serious as ever, sitting in the main seat, giving people an invisible pressure.

""You are here, please sit down, the meal is almost ready."

Seeing his daughter coming back, Hyuga Hiashi said calmly.

Naruto and Hinata sat down on both sides.

Soon, the maids brought the dishes.

It is the rule of the Hyuga clan not to talk about things during meals.

After eating and drinking, Hyuga Hiashi put down the bowl and chopsticks.

At the same time, the two of them became nervous.

"Have you eaten enough? Hinata, take Hanabi down first, I want to talk to Naruto."Hinata

Hiashi suddenly spoke, his tone was the same as usual, and his seriousness revealed a hint of the family leader's temperament.

If it were usual, Hinata would not think there was anything wrong, but thinking of what the head of the family was going to say next, Hinata couldn't hold back.

"Is there something particularly important? Why can't we listen to it?" Hinata asked anxiously. Hyuga Hiashi felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had raised his daughter for more than ten years, but now she favored an outsider.

Although he felt heartbroken, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he frowned out of habit. Just as he was about to say something, Naruto spoke first.

"Okay, you go down first, there are some things that I can handle myself."Naruto said firmly

"But... Naruto-kun."

Hinata held Naruto's hand, her eyes full of worry.

"Let's leave first."

Naruto ignored Hinata's anxious gaze without hesitation.

"But……"(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

""Get out!"

He suddenly shook off Hinata's hand and said firmly.

Hinata retracted her hand, feeling very wronged.

This was the first time Naruto got angry with her. She stood up in a trance and left the restaurant.

Hanabi glared at Naruto fiercely, pouted, and then left with her sister.[]

Hinata Hiashi frowned, feeling unhappy, but didn't say much.

After the two sisters left, the room returned to peace.

The maid brought tea, poured a cup for Hinata Hiashi and Naruto, and then quietly left.

"When did you start?"

Hinata Hiashi asked while sipping his tea.

"Is it necessary to know this?"

Naruto responded in a bad tone.

He knew that this guy probably wanted to break up him and Hinata. Since they couldn't be together anyway, Naruto didn't need to be polite to him. In fact, his behavior was���Naruto's thoughts. Hinata

Hiashi frowned.

This kid has no awareness of being a son-in-law!

He is very dissatisfied with this son-in-law. Not only does he not respect his elders, but he also loses his temper with his daughter! At first glance, he is the kind of person who will commit domestic violence!

"How far has your relationship progressed?"

Hinata Hiashi took a deep breath and asked again.

"Is this really important?"

Naruto still maintained an indifferent attitude, which made Hyuga Hiashi want to overturn the table.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement while savoring the taste of the fragrant tea.

The room was silent for nearly three minutes.

Neither of them spoke.

Hyuga Hiashi finally let down his guard in his heart, and the seriousness on his face gradually disappeared.

He took the initiative to break the silence.

"I don't understand why you are so hostile to me, maybe Hinata misunderstood my intentions and told you about it." Hyuga

Hiashi's tone became gentle, which surprised Naruto.

"You don't have to be nervous. I asked you to come here just to have a good chat with you."

Hinata Hiashi relaxed his body, and his originally straight back slightly bent. This change made him feel a little relieved.

"What are you talking about?"

Naruto asked in confusion.

"Let's talk about Hinata, her father, and this painful family."Hinata

Hiashi said slowly, then took a sip of the fragrant tea, moistened his throat, completely let down his guard, and started a sincere conversation.

Such a serious and tough person suddenly became so gentle, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"I am the head of the Hyuga clan. Because of my high position, I always set strict standards for myself and my children. People often say that a loving mother is a strict father, but unfortunately my wife died in childbirth when giving birth to Hanabi."

"The only one left in this family is Yan's father."

"As the head of the clan, I have to deal with many things every day, so I rarely pay attention to the two sisters."

"Do you know about the bird in the cage?" asked Hinata Hiashi

"I know."

After a moment of silence, Naruto nodded.

"It is a terrible, sick thing that I hate very much."

Hinata Hiashi's voice was low and full of hatred, as if every word was uttered with gnashing teeth. As a caged bird that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, it is not surprising that some people in the Hyuga clan have long been dissatisfied with this.

However, it is surprising that such words came from the mouth of the clan leader Hinata Hiashi.

"According to the rules of the caged bird, one of my two daughters must be marked as a caged bird."

"Even if people who are not from the Hyuga clan understand the meaning of the bird in the cage, they cannot understand the suffocating gap between the brothers and sisters of the Hyuga clan."

Hinata Hiashi smiled sadly.

"Just because I was born one minute earlier than my brother, our identities are so different. We are brothers as close as brothers, but we are strangers."

When talking about his brother,

Hinata Hiashi couldn't hide his sadness.

He used to think that his brother was full of resentment towards him.���However

, until that day, his younger brother took the initiative to stand up and die for him.

That day, Hyuga Hiashi realized that his younger brother had never resented him because of the mark on his forehead.

That day, looking at his younger brother's cold body,

Hyuga Hiashi felt a pain he had never felt before.

"The caged bird once brought me endless pain, and now this pain will befall my two daughters."

"I am a conservative and stubborn person. I don't know how to deal with emotions and how to face my children with the right emotions."

"Whether it is Hinata or Hanabi, they are both my daughters, and I love them equally. However, I don't know how to express it. I have become accustomed to this way of getting along."

"Facing the fate of the caged birds, as a father and also the head of the family, I am powerless and can only try my best to train them and impose strict requirements on them."

"As a father, I have to be fair. Hanabi is fine. Her talent is better than her sister's. I am not too worried about her. I am worried about Hinata, so I set strict standards for her, hoping that she can change her personality and work hard to practice."

"I don't want to see any of them fail."

"But I know that one of them must bear the fate of a caged bird."

"I feel powerless"

"I couldn't protect my wife, my brother, or my two children."

"I couldn't stop the pain from coming. I could only watch it happen, and I could only stand there. You can't understand the feeling of powerlessness."

Hiruga Hiashi's face was full of vicissitudes. He was no longer the old-fashioned middle-aged man.

His sadness was beyond words. The long-term pressure suddenly eased, making Hiruga Hiashi look a little tired.

"Did you know?"

"I once felt extremely desperate. I couldn't accept the fact that my daughter would be portrayed as a caged bird!"

"This is a dead end, a dead end that cannot be broken! Despite this, I am still unwilling to give up and have been looking for opportunities to break the deadlock!"

"This thought has almost become my inner demon in recent years!"

Hinata Hiashi's face was tangled, gritting his teeth, but when he saw Naruto, his brows gradually relaxed.

"Until I met you!"

"I found an opportunity to change in you!"

Hinata Hiashi looked at Naruto with deep eyes.

Naruto was not an ignorant person and immediately understood what Hinata Hiashi intended.

"You want your second daughter to inherit the family line and your first daughter to be my wife."

"I am the son of the Yondaime and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki"

"Regardless of my background, I am only twelve years old, but I have the strength of a shadow! I have endless potential"

"As long as Hinata is with me, even if someone in the family is dissatisfied, they dare not easily impose constraints on her, because they know that this will offend a Kage-level strongman!"

Naruto easily analyzed Hyuga Hiashi's plan.

He used a few words to succinctly summarize Hyuga Hiashi's thoughts.

And���He is very smart, but he has experienced all this before, so he mentions it again.

In just a few words, he reveals the mind of Hyuga Hiashi, which makes him surprised and amazed at Naruto's cleverness.

While Hyuga Hiashi is surprised at Naruto's wisdom, Naruto is also shocked by Hyuga Hiashi's strategy.

With Naruto as a chess piece, Hyuga Hiashi successfully solved the seemingly mortal dilemma, and Naruto inadvertently became a tool that Hyuga Hiashi cleverly used..
