Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Naruto and Hinata
After finishing his date with Yugao, Yu walked along the streets of Konoha with a heavy heart.
The streets of Konoha, covered with fallen leaves, were bustling with the playful figures of children chasing each other.
"Now it's already the 53rd year of Konoha, no matter what..."
Yu counted the shallow and deep footprints on the ground as he walked, "I have to find time during this period to visit Iwagakure and quickly find Nono, otherwise things might go awry..."
"Hey, you white-eyed monster! If you're from the Hyuga Clan, then show us your Byakugan!"
Unconsciously, Yu arrived at the end of the street where a small grove caught his attention in the park.
"Can't do it? Then don't ever show up in front of us again! Hahaha..."
Three children, around six or seven years old, were teasing a little girl under a tree, mocking her pure white eyes. One chubby child laughed loudly as he bullied her.
Isn't that... Hinata?
Upon seeing the little girl under the tree, Yu immediately recognized her as Hyuga Hinata, the young lady of the Hyuga Clan whom he happened to rescue two years ago during the Cloud incident.
As Yu saw tears welling up in Hinata's large eyes, he was about to step forward to intervene with the bullies, but suddenly, he noticed a small figure rushing towards them from the nearby swing.
"Hey! Stop it!"
All he saw was a dazzling yellow-haired child in a tracksuit clenching his fists as he approached them from behind.
"Hey, what are you doing, you brat?"
The three children turned around to find a child who seemed even younger than them.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I'm gonna be the future Hokage!"
The yellow-haired child shouted at the older children.
"The future Hokage? Hahaha, are you kidding?"
Upon hearing the words of the yellow-haired child, the three bullies who were bothering Hinata couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You guys are the ones kidding... Watch my Shadow Clone Jutsu!!!"
Unexpectedly, the yellow-haired child formed a cross-shaped seal with his hands and unleashed a Ninjutsu.
"What?!"
Seeing two clouds of white smoke emerge, the three children were clearly startled.
However, upon closer inspection, the two Shadow Clones summoned by the yellow-haired kid were only as big as a palm and were hopping around on the ground, taunting them with thin voices, "I'm gonna beat you up real good!"
"Hahahaha!!"
Seeing the two tiny clones summoned by the yellow-haired kid, all three children were nearly doubled over with laughter. The yellow-haired child, feeling embarrassed, maintained the seal posture, with a bead of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Yu, witnessing this scene from nearby, couldn't help but laugh as well, feeling a lot of his burdensome thoughts dissipate. Truly, Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of the future, was full of surprises—a ninja with unexpected abilities.
Perhaps it was at this moment that Hinata from the anime began to admire Naruto. This kid seemed to have a quality that could infect others from childhood to adulthood. His sunny disposition and unwavering determination were indeed rare and precious in this dark world of ninjas, Yu couldn't help but think.
"Hey! Stop it, all of you!"
Seeing Naruto about to get roughed up by the three children, Yu shook his head and walked over, intervening.
Upon hearing Yu's voice, the children all turned their heads. Seeing that Yu was clearly several heads taller than them, they seemed somewhat intimidated. They looked at the headband on Yu's forehead and trembled as they spoke, "What, even ninjas want to meddle in kids' business?"
"Is it him?!"
At this moment, Hinata clearly recognized Yu, her pure white eyes widening.
She had initially thought of this young man as someone she had only seen in her dreams when she was young. As she grew older, Hinata learned that this young man not only truly existed but had also once saved her life, making him their Hyuga Clan's benefactor.
"What, you know him?" Naruto, who had almost gotten beaten up, looked at the handsome young man who was about eight or nine years older than him, feeling a bit disgruntled that he couldn't show off in front of Hinata.
"Yeah, he's the most famous genius ninja in Konoha. He once saved me when I was little."
The introverted and shy Hinata spoke softly to Naruto to explain
"These little rascals..."
Gradually approaching, Yu chuckled as he watched the three children in front of him acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Sometimes, Yu couldn't help but find the world of shinobi absurd. These three random kids were the epitome of fearlessness in the face of authority.
One was the heir of the prestigious Hyuga Clan's main family, and the other was the future protagonist of the shinobi world—the son of the Fourth Hokage. Yet, these three random village kids dared to bully them. Yu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Of course, at this time, Naruto was still an ignorant and lonely orphan who endured rejection from the villagers, so there wasn't much to say about him. But Hinata was the legitimate heiress of the Hyuga main family. Yu's Observation Haki had long detected the presence of two Hyuga branch family ninjas lurking nearby.
Yu believed that if anything threatened Hinata's safety, the two Hyuga branch family ninjas hiding nearby would likely emerge in seconds to teach these three kids a lesson in manners.
"Hey, aren't you leaving yet?"
Seeing the three kids still lingering in front of him, Yu impatiently raised his hand.
With a slight movement of chakra, a Rasengan emitting a blue glow appeared in his palm.
"Hurry... Run away!!"
Seeing the Rasengan released by Yu, although the three kids didn't know what it was, they probably guessed this guy was formidable. They immediately scattered and ran away.
"Wow... What a powerful ninjutsu!"
Watching Yu chase away the three kids, Naruto stared fixedly at the Rasengan in Yu's hand, as if it naturally fascinated him.
After scaring off the three random kids, Yu put away the Rasengan, his gaze somewhat playful as he looked at Naruto—the protagonist of the shinobi world. In the anime, he was known for his "Rasengan," and now it had become his own technique.
"Do you still remember me, Miss Hinata...?"
"When you were little, I used to carry you..."
After the commotion caused by the kids, Yu's mind, which had been burdened with various thoughts, was suddenly lightened. Looking at Naruto and Hinata, who were only five or six years old in front of him, Yu couldn't help but pat their cute heads.
"I... I remember, you're big brother Yu. Father-sama often mentioned you to me..."
Hinata, who had never been in contact with strangers before, was suddenly touched on the head by Yu's hand. A lovely blush spread across her tender face as she spoke softly.
"So adorable..."
Watching the shy Hinata in front of him, Yu felt fondness in his heart. Although Hinata in the anime didn't show much talent to become a ninja, even her younger sister, Hanabi Hyuga, who was five or six years younger than her, surpassed her.
But compared to becoming a decisive ninja, Yu believed that girls with personalities like Hinata might be more suitable as refined ladies and virtuous wives and mothers. Not having ninja talent itself was not a fault.
