People are in Konoha, this Naruto lies flat

Chapter 179 Raising chicks

Hinata bit her lower lip tightly. She was wearing a thick winter coat, and the coat on her left arm was slightly stained by rain. She was holding an umbrella tightly, and the knuckles between her fingers were faintly white.

In the dim light, her face could not be seen clearly.

Naruto couldn't guess Hinata's thoughts for a while and thought something had happened. He pushed the door open and immediately touched the switch beside the door and opened it with a snap.

A bright yellow light shot out from the entrance, illuminating a square-sized area in the corridor. Hinata stood there in a daze and said nothing, looking very pitiful.

"Hinata?" he asked again.

"Yesterday." Hinata lowered her head and suddenly whispered, her voice very soft.

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday?" Naruto thought for a while and said, "I met your sister at the snack street yesterday. She said you are very busy these days."

"It's really hard to go on a mission, Hinata."

Listening to the familiar tone, she suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart. It was as if somewhere in her heart had begun to burst, and the emotions that had been accumulated for three months came out completely, and there was no way to restrain them.

"You asked Hanabi to say hello yesterday. Actually, I'm not feeling well at all. I'm getting more and more sad."

Hinata raised her head, but still couldn't make eye contact. She looked at the bright area projected on the ground, and stopped at the tip of Naruto's toes.

Behind it is a yin and yang line of mixed light and dark, which separates the door from the corridor. It is raining outside the building, and downstairs is a furniture store that is about to close down.

There was silence all around, with the whistling wind carrying damp rain and mist.

Naruto pursed his lips and didn't say anything unnecessary. He grabbed Hinata's wrist and pulled her into the entrance hall with a slight force.

"Let's talk after we come in first," he said.

Hinata didn't seem to be out of that state yet, her eyes were a little confused. She was dragged into the hallway, and the door slammed shut, completely blocking out the patter of rain outside the corridor.

The two of them were bathed in bright yellow light, and a small area of ​​the brown shoe cabinet in the entrance reflected the light.

Naruto spent some effort to take the umbrella out of Hinata's hand. Her knuckles holding the umbrella turned pale, and she finally managed to break it open.

He glanced at Hinata and saw that she still had no reaction. He was already stroking his chin and thinking about whether to take off her shoes.

This doesn't seem good.

Hinata suddenly came back to her senses with a loud sound, as if she had just realized that she was being pulled into the entrance hall, and she fell backwards in shock. Fortunately, Naruto had quick eyesight and quick hands, and caught her.

"I'm sorry, I just said something strange." She apologized softly.

"Let's change your shoes and come in first." Naruto did not answer directly, but skillfully changed the subject and said, "The clothes are all wet. I'll help you dry them later."

Hinata was slightly stunned and quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"No, no! I just have to leave, sorry to bother you."

As he said that, he bowed quickly and turned around to leave.

Naruto had long sensed that Hinata's state was not right. How could he let her go at this time? He grabbed her arm with a snap and gave a random reason.

"The door is broken."

"Ah?" Hinata didn't understand.

"I closed the door too hard just now and it's broken!" Naruto said slightly embarrassed, "Anyway, you should change your shoes first, and I'll find tools to repair it later."

Hinata couldn't compete with Naruto, so she agreed in a low voice, her voice soft and light.

"Naruto-kun, don't you want to repair the door?" Hinata was changing her shoes. When she looked up, she found Naruto staring directly at her feet.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed and blushed.

"The door can be repaired anytime. I just saw that your shoes seemed to be wet, so I was a little worried." He said seriously, but he didn't intend to look away at all.

"That." Hinata's face turned completely red. Although she just took off her shoes, Naruto's gaze always made her feel like she was about to lose something important.

So weird!

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked without raising his head.

"Naruto-kun, can you stop looking at me?" Hinata said weakly, trying to struggle.

"I wasn't looking at you. There seems to be something wrong with the floor in the entrance hall. I have to fix it another day." Naruto waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You are busy with your business."

Listening to Naruto's almost rogue words, Hinata blushed terribly, but she was very obedient. She secretly thought to herself, Naruto-kun, just watch it if you like.

Anyway, anyway, it’s just feet, at least there’s something to be liked about them.

He wasn't really shameless. After staring for a while, he left with satisfaction.

Back in the kitchen, he skillfully boiled water and opened the window. He opened the balcony glass door to a gap as wide as his forearm. When he passed by the sofa, he put a thin blanket on Jiuwei's body, covering it completely.

Kyuubi actually didn't have that much of a temper. After being woken up by a piece of cloth, he just stretched out his head and looked around. When he saw Hinata sitting on the sofa cautiously, he immediately shrank back and continued to sleep.

Oh, stupid humans.

So boring.

Naruto poured a cup of hot water, asked Hinata to cover it with her hands, and then asked.

"Where are the clothes?"

Hinata hesitated for a moment, then obediently took off her coat and handed it to Naruto. Naruto took it and hung it aside without hurrying to dry it.

He had to figure out one thing. What did Hinata mean when she said she was not doing well.

However, Naruto didn't ask directly. He knew that Hinata was good at everything, but her heart was too closed. When something happened, her first reaction was to hide, or to endure it silently.

She is so timid that even Naruto thinks it's a bit outrageous. After all, she is the eldest lady of the Hyuga family. She comes from an orthodox clan and is not bound by the constraints of a caged bird.

If he had this identity, let alone being treated harshly by Hinata and Hinata, if he couldn't get rid of Hinata and Hinata's heart disease, he would be considered a loser.

Is the eldest lady still accepting this nonsense?

Although Naruto guessed part of the source of Hinata's pressure, he couldn't say it in front of others, that old man's father was really useless!

At this time, language arts is particularly important.

"Have you been under too much pressure recently?" He said, thinking carefully about his words, "If you have any trouble, you can tell me."

"No." Hinata shrank and whispered.

"Are you sure?" Naruto frowned and looked at the stubborn Hinata, "It would be a bit unkind to even guard against law-abiding villagers like me."

"Ah?" Hinata didn't understand what Naruto said and her body trembled slightly, "I'm just a little unhappy. I'll be fine in a few days. Maybe I didn't work hard enough."

"Huh? What does this have to do with hard work?" He frowned slightly, stood up and sat directly next to Hinata.

"Eh? It should. It should be related, right?" Hinata leaned back slightly, "If I can work harder, maybe it will."

"Just what?" Naruto hit the snake with the stick. He knew Hinata's character very well. If he didn't ask immediately, he might as well not ask at all! At this time, it's better to get to the bottom of it!

"You will become stronger." Hinata said hesitantly, her voice getting lower and lower.

"Well, maybe, if hard work pays off, why do you need a teacher?" Naruto retorted simply, "Besides, everyone's background and talent are different, and they don't have to be measured by the same standards."

"That's true." Hinata was a little flustered and didn't know what to say.

"It's not like that, it's just like that." Naruto sighed, reached out and patted Hinata on the head and said, "What do you think your strengths are?"

"Eyes." Hinata said carefully.

"You also know that it's the eyes. Last time I saw you practicing, you kept holding on to the soft fist." Naruto said, "Although it is cruel to say this, not everyone is a genius like Hyuga Neji.

.”

Hearing this, Hinata lowered her head.

"But Hinata, you and Hyuga Neji are different." At this point, Naruto suddenly lowered his voice. Even though there were only two people in the living room, he pulled Hinata over.

As if he was afraid that others would hear him, he whispered in her ear.

"If you practice Byakugan, you might be even more powerful than Hyuga Neji. There is no need to hold on to the Rou Fist all the time. If you keep insisting on following other people's paths, you will easily lose yourself."

Hinata was so nervous that she froze in place and couldn't move.

The warm breath kept whispering in her ears, and every word struck her heart like a heavy hammer. She opened her eyes wide and her nerves were trembling.

Especially when Naruto took a special sniff before moving away from Hinata, the small movement failed to escape Hinata's perception, making her cheeks turn red.

"I, I know."

She originally wanted to tell him that she came very early and waited there for a long time, and her heart was as wet as rain. Her father didn't care about her at all, and everyone in the family kept away from her.

When it comes to cultivation, no matter how she practices, she will always be the one with the worst qualifications.

Even the person she loved was taken away, as if the whole world was against her. Nothing went smoothly, and there was no hope for the future.

But the words cannot come out of my mouth at all. No one will talk about their troubles easily. Some words go around in my mind, and when I go back, they have actually calmed down half.

"That's good, are you hungry?" Naruto stood up to help her dry clothes, but suddenly turned around and asked.

"Not hungry." Hinata shook her head.

"Two takoyaki, two more." After reading a lot of dish names, Naruto suddenly turned back and looked at Hinata, who was sitting there obediently, and narrowed his eyes.

You probably won’t be full just by ordering these.

Fortunately, all my money exists in the sealed space, so Hinata's appetite won't make her poor, so let's eat at another restaurant. Anyway, she's here, so at least she has to be fed.

After changing to the third store, Hinata felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Naruto who was about to roll his eyes and whispered.

"Otherwise, let's forget it here and go back."

"No!" Naruto coughed, slapped his chest suddenly, and swallowed the octopus balls, "I'm okay!"
