Chapter 29 Hinata the Glutton
Chapter 29 Hinata the Glutton
Ningxia didn't take this little incident to heart. When she and Kakashi were carrying a lot of ingredients home, they ran into Hinata again.
"What's wrong? Hinata, why aren't you coming in?"
Ningxia crept up behind Hinata, startling the young Hinata so much that she almost cried out.
"Ning... Ningxia brother... good morning... I... I... I am..."
Seeing Ningxia so close by, Hinata's face immediately turned as red as a cherry tomato. She stammered as she tried to explain, but white steam was already rising from her head.
"Relax, Hinata."
Ningxia gently patted Hinata's head and calmed her down with a soft voice.
"Hmm... um~"
Hinata clenched her little pink fists, feeling Ningxia's broad, kind hand on her head. This feeling... was so reassuring.
"What's wrong? Let's go inside and talk. It's really cold in here."
Ningxia's voice seemed to have some kind of magic, making the dazed Hinata obediently follow her into the house.
Just then, Zuo Yue came over for a visit and challenged Mingzi to a contest to see who could peel an orange faster.
Originally, with Itachi and his father's guidance, Zuo Yue was already unbeatable among his peers.
He even gained mastery of the Great Fireball Technique, the Housen Fire Technique, and Itachi's shuriken due to Naruto's pressure.
But while her entire family is still alive, she has to face the sacrifice of her parents, Naruto who possesses all the experience Minato has learned in his life, 500 chakra, and the ability to control the One-Tailed Beast.
Now, Naruto has not only learned the Rasengan, but has even begun to master the Flying Thunder God Technique. Last time, one Flying Thunder God Slash almost sent Kakashi to join Izuna in death.
Zuo Yue was stubborn, but not stupid. Knowing that she couldn't beat Mingzi, she decisively changed the way she competed.
"Don't waste food..."
Ningxia looked at the plate of oranges with a sense of helplessness and decided to make candied oranges later.
"I'm sorry, Ningxia-gege, but I won this time!"
Naruko proudly raised her little head. Ningxia, seeing this, felt helpless and gave the little blond hair a good rub, telling her not to do it again.
Then he rubbed Zuo Yue's hands and asked her if she wanted to stay for dinner.
"want!!!"
Zuo Yue agreed without hesitation and then started complaining to Ningxia.
After Shisui became the clan leader, she was extremely busy every day, and Itachi was also very busy, so she had to come by herself.
Ningxia smiled helplessly. His relationship with Itachi was far too complicated. Was he angry? Of course he was.
But Itachi didn't make the same mistake again, and for Shisui's sake, he didn't reveal these things.
Let it be... a little bit of hardship.
"Hinata, go play with Naruto and Satsuki. I'll make you some snacks. Kakashi, you too, go play with them."
Ningxia is always the one who has the final say at home. Kakashi, who was originally listless and just wanted to curl up in the kotatsu, was picked up by Ningxia and thrown into the backyard.
Three little girls were building a snowman, and she watched quietly from the side. For some reason, ever since she moved into Ningxia's house, she had become more and more... hopeful.
She used to work her way up every day, hoping that one day she would die in a mission so she could go see that idiot.
But being ordered around by Ningxia and dragged along to participate in some inexplicable activity actually gave her a feeling different from the past.
Is this... also considered treatment?
However, this is not bad either.
"Aunt Kakashi, come quick and help me!"
Seeing Kakashi looking so lazy, Naruko remembered Ningxia's advice: don't let Kakashi have time to daydream, or he might do something rash.
"Hey, feed me... I'm only in my early twenties... I'm not exactly an auntie yet, am I?"
Kakashi complained listlessly, but Ningxia instead teased him, saying that he looked like a thirty-something-year-old auntie because of the mask.
"..."
Kakashi was speechless for a moment, and could only sadly help the little girl build a snowman.
Hinata was initially a little shy, but with the encouragement of Naruko and Satsuki, she finally became less reserved than before.
After they got tired of playing, Ningxia prepared rock sugar oranges for them. The oranges were coated with an amber-colored sugar coating and had a sweet and sour taste.
The group ate with great relish, and Kakashi also took two, then put them directly into his mouth through his mask.
By this time, Naruto and Zuoyue had given up on seeing Kakashi's true face, while Ningxia was simply uninterested.
"I'm back! Hmm? What did you make? Share some with me."
Hongdou brought her best friend Hong home, carrying a package of dumplings in one hand and still eating them with the other.
At her rate of eating, a normal person would have turned into David Day long ago.
The fat in red beans only goes where it's supposed to go, so the more you eat, the bigger your belly gets, but your stomach remains flat.
Seeing Hongdou reach out to touch it, Ningxia immediately slapped her hand away, complaining that she eats so many high-calorie desserts every day and will eventually turn into a sweet potato.
"How could that be?! If I had shown these early signs, I would definitely have lost weight!"
Hongdou puffed out her chest, trying to assert her dominance. She had been thinking about launching a surprise attack and seizing the initiative these past few days.
but……
Yugao and Kakashi are both Jonin. If she makes even the slightest noise, they will come to kill her. What will she do then?
You can't exactly stand up, smile, and say, "You want to go first?"
Are you kidding me?! She's here to pursue pure love, she doesn't have that kind of fetish.
"One, and this will not be the first time."
Ningxia reluctantly gave Hongdou one and then invited her to try it.
After following Hongdou around and getting free meals and drinks, Hong was no longer as reserved as she had been at the beginning.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that... Hongdou has a very good eye for people, and she's even raising her standards now.
Hongdou was quite pleased to see Hong enjoying herself. Ningxia had always shown maturity and tolerance towards those around her that was beyond her responsibilities.
It's a bit shameless, but Ningxia can become my... cough cough cough!
In short, otherwise Tsunade wouldn't have stayed by Ningxia's side and breathed on every woman who tried to get close.
But... come to think of it, at Tsunade's age, she probably can't have children anymore, right? So... you old man! Get out of my way!
To prevent Ningxia from calling her sweet potato, Hongdou even took out the dumplings she had packed to share. But during their casual conversation, she discovered that all the dumplings had been eaten.
"I...I'm so sorry...I...I accidentally...finished it all..."
Hinata blushed and apologized. She hadn't eaten much, and the oranges and dumplings were so delicious that she had finished them all without realizing it.
"Um... Hinata, are you still hungry? Good girls should tell the truth!"
"I'm...very hungry..."
Hinata's tone was very weak, as if she was afraid that Ningxia would dislike her for being a big eater.
"Is that so...?"
Ningxia was somewhat surprised. After examining Hinata, she discovered that Hinata had a very special constitution, allowing her to convert food into energy and chakra faster than normal people.
Theoretically speaking, if Hinata were to eat freely and train properly, her growth rate would be terrifying.
