Chapter 72: ‘Luckily... Kage-kun Didn't Notice I'm Such A Lewd Girl’

Thinking of this, Hyuga Neji began to feel that the Uchiha boy before him seemed somewhat dangerous.

"Because I'm bored."

Uchiha Kage followed Neji all the way to the central courtyard of the clan leader's residence.

Ahead was Hinata's room, exactly the same as in the dream space.

And passing through that room, behind it should be the small courtyard he was most "familiar" with, where the dummy stakes were placed.

"You..."

Although Neji was stirred by his words, he quickly realized that even if the Caged Bird Seal could be removed, it would require considerable cost and effort, far from being an overnight matter.

Moreover, it was uncertain whether it was true or not, 'This guy is probably just speaking offhandedly.'

But with such a hope already in his heart, Neji inexplicably felt as if some of the shackles on his body had truly been removed.

"Lady Hinata, your classmate Uchiha Kage is here!"

No longer paying attention to Uchiha Kage's teasing, Neji secretly resolved to find a way to break the curse of the branch family.

But before that...

'This Uchiha boy is right; to achieve that great goal, I now need to hide and endure.'

"Ah... Kage, Kage-kun is here?"

Clatter!

The Byakugan girl, wearing a white short-sleeved outfit, exposing her small arms and legs, hurriedly opened the door to her room.

Flustered and with a red flush from exercise, the girl's cheeks were as cute and delicate as a red apple.

Their eyes met, and upon realizing that not only her brother but also Uchiha Kage was outside, Hinata almost fainted from shyness and surprise.

"I, I'm sorry. I, I'll change my clothes first!"

BANG!

Remembering she was still wearing her training clothes and was somewhat disheveled, Hinata abruptly closed the door again.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Then came the sound of bare feet running hurriedly on the floor, and the noise of her body accidentally knocking over chairs and tables.

"..."

Hinata's reaction made Neji feel the same helplessness as Hyuga Hiashi had that day.

'Even if it's someone you like, there's no need to be so flustered and shy, right?'

Hearing the commotion from the girl inside the room, Neji couldn't help but remind Uchiha Kage before leaving.

"I'll go now, you... don't bully her too much," Besides the goal spurred by Uchiha Kage, Neji also wanted to prove his strength to this Uchiha.

"Also, losing to you last time was just an accident; this time I will defeat you fair and square in the Chunin Exams!"

The genius of the Hyuga clan will never lose to the genius of the Uchiha clan!

"Mm, then do your best," Seeing Neji's renewed vigor, Uchiha Kage, with a slightly perfunctory expression, didn't remind him that he wouldn't be participating in the Chunin Exams.

Though it was just a whim, he sincerely hoped that one day this Hyuga boy could truly master his own destiny.

———

"Why... why did Kage-kun suddenly... suddenly come to my home?"

'And right outside my room...'

Although she had immediately closed the door, Hinata's eyes still showed signs of swirling dizziness.

Uchiha Kage appearing in her territory was just like... like in a dream...

'Yes, just like that strange dream I have every night.'

While frantically searching for her outdoor clothes, Hinata's cheeks burned as she wildly speculated about why Uchiha Kage had suddenly come to her home.

'Wait, could it be that father took the liberty of calling Kage-kun to our home?'

Thinking this, Hinata's little head, nearly scorched by shyness, instantly cleared.

Then—

'Byakugan!'

'Father seems... not to be home?'

Hinata didn't sense her father's chakra within the clan.

'Great, it seems Kage-kun isn't forcibly brought here by father.'

'But, this appearance of mine...'

Although she quickly changed into her usual ninja attire, Hinata was still unsatisfied with her reflection in the mirror.

"If only I could take a bath first."

Wiping the sweat from her hair with a towel, Hinata wrinkled her little nose and sniffed at her collar.

She had been training in the backyard all along, sweating so much, surely—

'Ah!'

'No, I can't keep Kage-kun waiting outside for too long, that will be too rude...'

'Ouch!'

In her haste, Hinata accidentally bumped into the bed frame.

But she had no time to worry about the bruises on her body.

Clatter!

"I-I'm sorry for keeping you waiting..."

After quickly wiping her face and neck with a dry towel, Hinata swiftly opened the door again.

"Can I come in and take a look?"

Looking past Hinata's shoulder, Uchiha Kage saw the small courtyard behind the house.

And the layout of that small courtyard was indeed exactly the same as in the dream space, not only in size but also with a dummy stake identical to the one in the space.

"Mm..."

Moving her white feet back slightly, Hinata stepped aside to let him in, trying hard not to let him smell her scent.

Although she didn't know Uchiha Kage's purpose for coming, the girl's heart seemed to have no option of refusing the boy before her.

"Your foot..."

As he passed by Hinata, Uchiha Kage noticed the bruise on the girl's ankle.

'Is it from bumping into something in the room earlier?'

'It looks painful.'

Usually so quiet, yet every time she faces him, she becomes such a flustered girl.

But perhaps because the furnishings here were too similar to those in the dream, or because he was too concerned about the injury on the girl's foot, Uchiha Kage naturally crouched down and took hold of this white foot.

It was only after a while that he realized what he had done.

"Kage... Kage-kun..."

Her foot suddenly held by a warm hand, Hinata almost cried out.

But the boy before her was the one she "fantasized" about every night, and the one she couldn't help but think of every day, so even though her body trembled with shyness, even though her brain began to heat up again, she still endured and submitted to his grasp.

"We have a mission outside the village later, you can't be injured, let me heal you."

He was definitely not getting obsessed with the girl's foot.

Uchiha Kage quickly found a reason for his actions.

"Mm..."

Feeling the boy's warmth gradually spreading from her heel, Hinata tightly closed her eyes, trying hard not to faint from shyness or cry out from sensitivity.

At the same time, she was also very worried about her scent, especially her feet...

'Will there be a bad smell?'

But the boy, crouching down and covering her bruised ankle with a healing technique, showed no unusual expression on his face.

He was just calmly healing her injury.

'It seems there's no other smell?'

While nervously sniffing, Hinata anxiously watched Uchiha Kage's facial expressions.

"Are... are we going out of the village for a mission again?"

Although the healing technique felt quite comfortable, what Hinata cared more about was the other hand that firmly held her soft foot to stabilize her position.

This was too stimulating; the fantasy that only appeared in dreams had actually happened in reality.

If she didn't divert her attention soon, just being held like this, she might... have an accident.

"Yes, specific information will be provided by Kurenai-sensei later."

After the bruise disappeared, Uchiha Kage released the girl's snow-white foot.

The bare, white little foot curled into an enticing arc, the soft sole a perfect delicacy...

Ahem, although he had tasted it many times in dreams, now in reality, Uchiha Kage didn't linger too long.

"Mm... than-thank you."

Somewhat relaxed, yet somewhat disappointed, Hinata retracted her foot, but her emotions finally calmed down a bit.

'I almost... couldn't hold back just now.'

'Luckily... Kage-kun didn't notice I'm such a lewd girl.'

"What... what are you looking at?"

As the ambiguous atmosphere slightly eased, Hinata saw him staring at the dummy stake in her courtyard and blushed again.

She had been forced to use that stake many times in her dreams...

Now, with Uchiha Kage staring straight at it, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

'Do-does Kage-kun also have an impression of this place?'

"Nothing."

Shifting his gaze from the stake, Uchiha Kage curiously looked around the girl's bedroom.

It was very tidy, and the dolls on the bed were very girly.

Very fitting for his impression of a good girl.

"That... that... how did Kage-kun learn our Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist? Not that I mean anything, I... I'm just, just a bit curious..."

Although Uchiha Kage quickly shifted his gaze back from the courtyard, the doubt that had long been buried in Hinata's heart had already taken root.

So, in this perfect moment alone with him, she finally gathered the courage to tentatively ask.

"Probably from watching you practice Gentle Fist every day, and then naturally learning it."

Uchiha Kage also looked into the girl's crystal-clear white eyes.

The layout of the room and courtyard matched, but he wondered about the person.

Looking at Hinata's blushing face and her slightly sweaty, glowing neck, Uchiha Kage was curious to know if she was as sweet as in the dreams.

When he held her bare foot earlier, he indeed didn't smell anything strange, but rather a sweet fragrance of a girl.

'Does Hinata really... have a special constitution?'

Uchiha Kage was quite curious about this.
