Chapter 178 Going Home (Subscription Request)

"Look over there, that man..."

"Is... is that the man? I heard that he applied for an investigation mission outside the village and declined the invitation of the Hokage."

"He looks a little strange, but he's really handsome!"

After passing through the barrier outside Konoha and the guards at the gate, Ryosuke finally returned to Konoha Village.

It can be seen that because of the invasion some time ago, the village's defense force has been adjusted on a large scale.

Not only has the technique of the defense barrier been strengthened, but even the number of guards has increased.

As for the damaged and collapsed outer Konoha, it has been completely rebuilt in the year since he left.

"The village has returned to its previous appearance..."

Walking on the bustling streets that are completely different from the Rain Country, Ryosuke's ears are filled with discussions.

Although in terms of overall appearance, he looks different from ordinary people as he is closer to the Otsutsuki clan.

But with the strong strength and clean face, this different appearance is no longer a defect, but a rare beauty.

Therefore, he was quite calm about the scene in front of him, as if he had expected it.

"Um, please... are you Lord Hyuga Ryosuke?"

Halfway through, Ryosuke was stopped by several boys and girls wearing Genin forehead protectors.

The shy but courageous look of the girl who spoke first was very pretty, reminding him of his wife who he had not seen for a long time at home.

"Yes, I am Hyuga Ryosuke."

Although he was stopped from going home, Ryosuke was not angry. After admitting his identity, he asked in a gentle voice: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"I... We are all victims of the disaster some time ago."

Among the few people, the girl who called Ryosuke looked at him eagerly and spoke very carefully, "We have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, but... but you have never been in the village."

"We are fortunate to meet you here today. We want to treat you to a meal and thank you in person. Do you think it is convenient?"

First explained their identities and then explained the purpose of their visit.

She looks quite young, only in her teens, but due to the precocity of this world, the girl speaks in a very organized way and understands the ways of the world.

However...

"Sorry, I accept your thanks, but you don't have to have dinner with me."

Ryosuke shook his head regretfully, "I haven't been home for a long time, I probably have to stay at home with my family for a while."

"Then you..."

The girl looked a little unwilling and was about to say something.

But Ryosuke had already turned around and looked towards the end of the street.

He could feel that a familiar breath was coming this way.

Although Ryosuke's white eyes were not open, he still instinctively noticed her approach.

At the end of the street,

a woman with a cold face was slowly walking closer. Although her pace was slow and she seemed to be unhurried, in fact, the span between each step was not small, and a big step was almost equivalent to her usual two small steps.

The woman was wearing a pure white dress, which tightly wrapped her white and tender skin.

Her haze blue hair was casually scattered, and the blue hair danced in the breeze.

The cold-toned hair color made her fair skin look a little translucent. Under her clear eyes, her finely carved face was like a princess walking out of an ice castle in the sunlight, noble and cold.

Looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, Hinata slowly approached with an arrogant and uninhibited momentum.

"Grow up and become beautiful."

An Jing watched her approach step by step, and finally stopped in front of her. The gentle smile on Ryosuke's face became more and more intense, and it looked dazzling and eye-catching in the sun.

Her extremely gentle voice gave goose bumps to the people around him.

But Hinata heard it with full healing power.

"I never thought that one day I would hear a compliment from you, a training geek, that was not just about my improved strength."

Resisting the urge to pounce on him, Hinata replied indifferently, and then politely nodded to the few Genin standing beside him.

"Ahem... Lord Ryosuke, we won't bother you then."

The few people who were planning to persuade him suddenly lost their courage. The cold breath emanating from the young Hyuga family leader made them say hello and leave tactfully.

First, Ryosuke watched their backs as they left, and then looked around.

Facing the pedestrians who secretly looked at them from time to time, he smiled helplessly, "Let's go back and talk about it."

On the way home, Ryosuke had imagined many times what it would be like to see his family again after not seeing them for such a long time.

But in the end, when he saw Hinata for the first time, he was shocked by her greatly changed face.

Those gentle greetings were not asked, but the words of praise in his heart were unconsciously spoken out very directly.

But it seems...

It seems that this compliment is much more pleasant to Hinata than other greetings.

"Hmm."

Still looking dignified, Hinata just hummed very slightly from her nose, but still stood there without moving.

"Then let's go home?"

Seeing that she didn't take a step, Ryosuke seemed to think of something in his heart, and stretched out his palm in front of her lovingly.

Then, when her somewhat cold little hand was placed on his large palm, she couldn't help laughing.

"What are you doing!"

The whole paragraph collapsed, and Hinata's fair cheeks flushed a little.

The eyes that seemed a little cold since they met suddenly became lively, with a hint of anger.

"Go, go, go."

Ryosuke didn't continue to tease her, and gently pulled her in the direction he came from before.

But before he took a few more steps, another extremely loud and joyful voice sounded from behind.

"Ryosuke! You're back!"

The voice came from far away, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded on the top of the house.

Then a black shadow jumped high and crossed the sky.

Finally, it landed steadily in front of Ryosuke and Hinata without stirring up any dust.

"Long time no see, Ryosuke!"

Observing Ryosuke excitedly, Naruto could clearly sense that his aura was more terrifying than before due to the beast instinct brought by the Nine-Tails. "It feels so dangerous. You have changed a lot. You must have undergone some hard training!"

He looked active and expectant, and was different from his usual calmness.

But soon, his smile froze.

Looking at the palms of the two people holding hands in front of him, Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, "Well... or I'll find you tomorrow. I won't bother you now."

"Tomorrow, see you at the same place."

Smiling lightly, Ryosuke also raised his eyes to observe Naruto in front of him.

When he landed, his control of chakra was extremely precise, and his ability was even better.

Under the observation of his bright eyes, the amount of chakra in his body, which made Ryosuke a little envious, surged again. The tailed beast chakra in the center of the seal was different from the posture of completely suppressing Naruto's own chakra. Instead, it formed a situation of two tigers fighting with the chakra in his body.

It seems that this guy has not been lazy in the past year and has become stronger again.

"Then see you tomorrow."

With an expectation in his tone, Naruto also smiled and nodded to Hinata next to him.

And Hinata also politely returned the greeting.

Waving goodbye to Naruto, Ryosuke started walking again.

Beside him, Hinata followed silently. She didn't talk much to Naruto just now, just a simple greeting.

Ryosuke didn't notice her silence.

In his heart, he was looking forward to Naruto catching up with him. As one of the few recognized friends, he had a different feeling towards Naruto.

But soon, as he felt the little hand in his palm tightened, Ryosuke looked at Hinata with some doubts.

"Why do I feel...you are happier to see him than to see me."

Looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, Hinata said without turning her head, "You should have been very happy when you were in that "old place"."

"How could it be..."

Her sour tone made Ryosuke a little at a loss, "Did I do something wrong..."

Somewhat helpless, even more strange.

He seemed to be able to keep up with Hinata's thinking, but he also seemed to be unable to keep up.

Could it be that Ino taught her something weird again...

Ryosuke cursed in his heart, wondering whether he should suggest Hinata to stay away from that guy with color, so as not to become a woman who sees gay people with rotten eyes in the future.

"... Forget it, let's go home quickly."

Hinata was silent for a long time, and finally gave up the strange idea in her heart.

She didn't speak again, and Ryosuke didn't ask about recent things on the street.

The two walked side by side.

Although Ryosuke has exceeded the average height line of Konoha Village because of his transformation again and again.

And because of practicing the Six Styles of the Navy, his body is stronger than that of ordinary people.

But the petite Hinata stood beside him, but there was no sense of disobedience. On the contrary, the two of them standing together had a very harmonious contrast beauty.

"I'm back, I'm back, sister and Ryosuke are back."

From a distance, Ryosuke could see Hyuga Hiashi waiting for them at the gate of the clan with Hanabi.

Behind him, many members of the Hyuga clan stopped at the same time, also wanting to see the first person in Hyuga in thousands of years.

"Are you back?"

Hyuga Hiashi's voice sounded calmly with a hint of concern.

"Yes! I'm back!"

The emotions in Ryosuke's heart unconsciously passed to his hands, and his large palm completely wrapped the smooth little hand and held it tightly.

He stepped in front of Hyuga Hiashi, and standing opposite him was a black mass of clansmen with the same skin color and the same blood.

"I'm back, my home, and... my family!"

"Ryosuke, you don't know how strange your sister is when you're not around."

The long-lost lively atmosphere at the Hyuga family's dining table.

The family of four sat in their own seats as before, but it was rare that they did not follow the habit of not talking while eating.

"After finishing her own things every day, she sat in her room facing the mirror. Guess what she was doing?"

After coming back this time, Xiao Huahuo became more cheerful and lively. While eating, she also complained to Ryosuke.

"Is she putting on makeup?"

Ryosuke turned his gaze to Hinata with amusement, looking at the face that was so exquisite that it looked like a work of art, and he already had the answer.

The white and clean face was like the best painting in the world.

On this scroll, her already delicate facial features were carved and polished one by one.

After being outlined, the willow-like curved eyebrows lost their original gracefulness and softness, and appeared somewhat heroic.

With her clear eyes with light eyeliner, the image of a cold beauty with both coldness and heroism is perfectly presented.

And the pink lips with a faint crystal light are like a stroke of genius, which ends the scroll.

"Yes, at first she painted herself like a ghost, and then Sister Ino and others came to visit her home, and her makeup skills gradually improved."

Hanabi smiled slyly, "And sister was thin-skinned at first, and didn't dare to go out with makeup. Every time she secretly painted for herself in the room, and then Sister Ino said..."

"Hanabi!"

Before she finished speaking, Hinata, who had been eating silently with a red face, couldn't help but interrupt her voice.

But unfortunately, Hanabi was not afraid of her at all. She stretched out her finger to pretend to be Ino, and imitated her tone, "You put on makeup for yourself, and it can only satisfy yourself."

"And if you can make most people on the street stop for you, then even if Ryosuke has high standards, he will fall for your white dress, unless he is a man who likes men..."

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly became strange again, and she looked at Ryosuke with a slight sense of inquiry, "That... Ryosuke, you should think that your sister is very beautiful now."

Ryosuke's smile froze on his face.

Ino...

Before he could explain anything, Hanabi on the opposite side paused and added: "At least she should be more beautiful than that guy Uzumaki Naruto!"

Puff——

A breath of air blocked his chest, and Ryosuke didn't know what mood he should face this question with at this time.

"Cough!"

This time, even Hinata Hiashi, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't stand it anymore and coughed heavily.

"Eat in silence!" He glared at Hanabi first, and when she stopped talking, he turned his face to Ryosuke, "How was it, did you go out smoothly this time? Did you find the answers you wanted?" Ryosuke looked helplessly at Hinata, who was eating but actually laughing, and nodded, "I gained a lot, and many things have answers, and I should stay at home for a while to digest them." But after thinking for a while, he added, "But this time, I met an incredible guy, and this information may need to be synchronized with you, or even... with the people of Konoha." Because Ryosuke did not explain the purpose of his trip in detail, he just said that he was going out to find answers to some questions in his heart, so Hyuga Hiashi didn't know what he did. But it was also a good opportunity for him to reveal some information that he knew before but had no reason to tell. "Then let's go to the study to talk after dinner." Hyuga Hiashi was already used to such a scene. Ever since Ryosuke came into their family, the study was no longer his territory alone.
