Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Chapter 30 T0 Eats Hinata's Fill

"Is...is my body strange? I'm...I'm sorry...I..."

Hinata was still a child after all. Seeing Ningxia remain silent for a long time, she thought something terrible had happened to her.

"No, Hinata is very healthy."

Ningxia, snapping out of his daze, smiled and ruffled Hinata's hair. Perhaps because there were so many little girls around him, he had almost made head-patting a habit.

"Really...really?"

"Oh right~ And... it's not good for Hinata's health if she doesn't eat enough. Can you tell me how many bowls of rice you want to eat?"

Ningxia has always been very patient with children, gently squatting down to ask them questions.

This is also why little girls like Ningxia. Who would dislike a gentle, patient, and understanding older brother who understands their troubles?

"Well……"

Hinata blushed and fidgeted with her fingers, unsure of what to do. After a long pause, she whispered, "About... ten bowls... because... because I've never been full..."

To ensure Hinata wasn't hungry, Ningxia prepared more than usual, making dishes like Kakashi's favorite saury, grilled eggplant, and red beans, as well as other things that Naruto and the others liked.

There were a full sixteen dishes, plus a delicious soup simmered with chakra flames. This was no ordinary meal; it could have been used to host two banquets.

"Come on, Nine-Tailed Fox, have a taste."

Ningxia casually picked up a piece of pork rib and tossed it to Jiuwei, who lightly leaped and caught it precisely. Then, while gnawing on it, Jiuwei complained that Ningxia shouldn't treat her like a pet.

Since being released, Kurama has secretly left Konoha and only recently returned. According to her, she wanted to check on the condition of the other tailed beasts.

Upon learning that all the unfortunate souls except herself had been sealed away, Kurama was overjoyed.

She also shared with Ningxia the scene of how she made Shukaku so angry that he cried and made a fuss when she was in Sunagakure, so pitiful.

"You really have a twisted sense of humor..."

Ningxia rubbed the Nine-Tails' little head. Thanks to his relationship with Tsunade and Orochimaru, he had touched their summoned beasts quite a bit, but the fluffy ones were still the best.

"Tch! You don't understand this kind of joy, and besides! I'm not your pet!!!"

Nine-Tailed Fox protested angrily, but in the end, it let Ningxia pick it up and take it back to the dining table.

Ningxia doesn't really treat the Nine-Tailed Fox as a pet. She has reserved a place for it, but she still claims to the outside world that it is a pet, a strange beast that can speak human language.

No one could have imagined that this white, soft, fluffy, and irresistibly cute little white fox would be the nine-tailed fox that nearly destroyed Konoha.

Even Kakashi and Yugao only asked casually and didn't pursue the existence of the Nine-Tails.

As for the Third Hokage and Danzo, the former had just recovered and been discharged from the hospital and was currently working overtime, while the latter had already been corrupted by Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, so it was even less likely that he would be watching him.

"Nine-Ra, don't drool on the table!"

Naruko listened to Ningxia and got along well with Kurama, even learning her real name.

Therefore, Ningxia took the opportunity to use the name "Nine Lamas," since nobody knew it anyway.

"I won't!"

Kurama wiped her mouth with her paw, feeling inexplicably angry. Those despicable humans made so much delicious food; they must be trying to corrupt her heart!

Humans, inherently evil, are so despicable, making so many delicious things that her little paws can't even reach anything further away.

Ningxia noticed Kurama's dissatisfaction, so she put her favorite food on her plate and then asked Naruko to put some food that Kurama couldn't reach.

"That's more like it."

Everyone was enjoying their meal, but after Ningxia had only taken a few bites, she heard Hinata ask timidly, "Um... can I have more rice?"

Bai was stunned for a while, then took over to help add more rice, but it was all eaten up again in no time.

Encouraged by Ningxia to eat as much as she wanted, Hinata eventually started asking for more rice herself. Luckily, Ningxia had cooked two extra rice cookers in advance, otherwise there really wouldn't have been enough for Hinata.

After Hinata finished eating, it was already her thirty-fifth bowl, and that didn't even include the various dishes that had been cleared from the table.

"How does it feel?"

Ningxia was curious about Hinata's potential after she had eaten her fill, while Hinata rubbed her belly, indicating that she felt very grounded and... had a lot of energy.

"Let me have a contest with you!"

Zuo Yue said impatiently that ever since she met Mingzi, she had been suppressed every single day. The once bright and beautiful Qingtian Yue had been beaten into a state of utter disarray.

Based on Hinata's performance just now, Zuo Yue estimates that Hinata shouldn't be particularly strong, so... the advantage is in my hands!

"Huh? Okay...okay..."

Under Ningxia's witness, the two little girls started arm wrestling. Zuo Yue tried her best from the start, but found that Hinata did not budge an inch, as solid as a rock.

"Zuo...Zuo Yue...you don't need to go easy on me..."

Hinata whispered, she felt... Zuo Yue had no strength at all.

"Ugh!!!"

Zuo Yue's face turned bright red as she strained with all her might, but Hinata still didn't react at all, and was even defeated with just a light press.

"Brother Ningxia!!!"

Overwhelmed, Zuo Yue threw herself into Ningxia's arms. For her, the only comfort was that the loser could receive encouragement and soothing from Ningxia.

"well?"

Hinata found it hard to believe; was she really that strong?

"Let me have a competition with you."

Naruko was disgusted by Satsuki's embarrassing performance and then took the initiative to practice with Hinata.

Hinata initially refused, but with Ningxia's encouragement, she finally succeeded in taking action against the others.

Naruko, who had been slapped into the backyard, fell into deep thought. Wasn't she supposed to have strong Uzumaki bloodline qualities? How come she couldn't even withstand Hinata's attack?

Ningxia first checked Naruto's body and, after confirming that she was alright, began to praise Hinata's talent, practically calling her a steam princess.

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly showed up at that moment, apologized to Ningxia with a stern face, and wanted to take Hinata back.

Seeing this, Ningxia pulled Hiashi into another room, wanting to talk to him about Hinata's potential.

However, Hiashi thought that something was wrong with Hinata's health and pressed her for details, saying that he would pay any amount of money!

"Head of the Hiashi family... have you noticed that Hinata hasn't eaten enough?"

Seeing that Hiashi still cared about Hinata, Ningxia felt a little relieved. It seemed that this uncle was just a bit serious and not good at expressing his concern.

He is, after all, the head of the family!

Hiashi Hyuga found it utterly unbelievable. His daughter hadn't had enough to eat since she was little? How could that be? As the second largest clan in Konoha, did the Hyuga clan really need Hinata to eat so little?

And Hinata becomes incredibly strong after she's eaten her fill?

Although he wasn't entirely convinced, Hiashi still had Hinata practice with him after they got home.

"Yes...yes! Father!"

Encouraged by Ningxia, Hinata finally agreed to use Gentle Fist properly. In order to gain her father's favor, Hinata used all her strength this time.

Seeing Hinata attack, Hiashi finally showed some improvement and gained some momentum, but how could he possibly hurt her...?

"Bang!!!"

The Japanese team crashed into the wall like a cannonball, cracking the wall in the process.

"???"
