Wanting to Respond to His Expectations

The last time he met this girl was almost two years ago.

It was also a winter day, with wind and snow creating an icy chill that quieted the Hidden Leaf Village early.

At that time, Naruto had just finished a day of studying in the Learning Space and came out of his house for physical education class.

Then, in a corner of the Hidden Leaf Village covered in silver, he encountered this beautiful girl with pure Byakugan eyes.

At that time, she was wearing a black outfit, stumbling along the road with sobs, eventually collapsing to the ground, her face full of confusion and tears, seemingly lost.

Naruto didn't think much and decided to take her home.

It was also at that time that Naruto learned that this girl was a child of the Hyuga Clan, and her family, like her, had a pair of pure white eyes.

Now, more than a year later, Naruto also knew that the day the girl got lost was the day of her uncle Hyuga Hizashi's funeral, and he also knew that the girl he had taken back then was actually Hyuga Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan's main family.

"What a troublesome girl, and she's supposed to be a young lady from a prestigious family, but she's being bullied by a few ordinary kids," Naruto muttered to himself.

Whoosh.

The sound of wind breaking echoed.

Naruto jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the girl, separating her from the three children with mischievous smiles.

"Hey, you three, is it fun to bully people?"

In the end, Naruto decided to help Hyuga Hinata out of this predicament.

If you ask why...

Of course, it's because Hyuga Hinata is cuter than these three bad kids!

The three children were interrupted from their happy daily activity of bullying someone, and they were a little unhappy.

They sized Naruto up and then burst out laughing.

"Isn't this the Nine Tails monster? A soaking wet monster all over."

"Hahaha, did the Nine Tails monster fall into the water? How come he didn't drown?"

"After all, he's a monster, he has demonic power, it's normal that he didn't drown."

They all recognized Naruto, their parents had specifically warned them not to approach him.

But now, at first glance, he didn't seem like a big deal, so they mocked him to their heart's content.

Naruto glanced at himself, he did look a bit disheveled.

He had just finished his water treading training, and because he had fallen into the water several times during the training process, his body was covered in mud and water, making him look dirty, no wonder these childish brats were laughing at him.

Faced with the mockery, Naruto's response was very direct.

A quick and powerful punch.

After three punches, these three bear children couldn't laugh anymore.

It hurt, it hurt to the core.

Their bodies slowly squatted down, covering their noses that were bleeding a little, and they started crying loudly.

It seems Naruto's training this year has been very effective.

"I'm not the Nine Tails monster. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm the same as you. Got it?" Naruto quietly watched them cry. After a while, when they had cried enough, Naruto finally spoke.

The three looked up, gazing at Naruto's calm expression.

For some reason, even though he didn't look fierce, they couldn't help but feel scared.

"Got it, waah..."

The three children answered with tearful voices. Seeing that Naruto was no longer looking at them, they burst into tears and ran away.

Hyuga Hinata still had tears in her eyes as she looked at the boy who had suddenly appeared like a hero and saved her, just like that snowy night long ago.

For some reason, looking at that not-so-tall figure, Hinata felt a sense of peace.

"So, your name is Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto-kun, how cool." Listening to the conversation, Hinata learned the boy's name for the first time.

Silently chanting Naruto's name in her heart, she was lost in thought.

After a while, she suddenly realized that the boy had turned around, looking at her with a pair of calm blue eyes, with a hint of amusement.

Immediately, Hinata couldn't help but shyly lowered her head.

Then, she raised her head again and said seriously, introducing herself, "Hello, I'm Hyuga Hinata."

"Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto replied.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had formally introduced himself to someone, which was new to Naruto.

And for the people in the village to not look at him with strange eyes after knowing his name and identity, this was also the first time Naruto had encountered this.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Naruto's face.

To be honest, this feeling was pretty good.

After smiling, Naruto sensed someone approaching.

He looked up at the male ninja with a pair of pure white Byakugan eyes and wearing a green vest, rushing towards them at the end of the road, and said softly, "As a child of the Hyuga Clan, you should have strength far beyond ordinary people.

Remember, next time you encounter this situation, hit them hard.

The purpose of studying is so that you can reason calmly with those idiots who only think with their muscles, and the purpose of working hard to cultivate is so that those idiots who only think with their muscles can listen to you reason calmly.

I'm leaving, see you next time."

After speaking, Naruto jumped onto the nearby trees and quickly disappeared from Hinata's sight.

A moment later, Hyuga Tokuma landed in front of Hinata, anxiously saying, "Young Lady, are you alright? Why did you sneak out again? You can't just approach that child."

Hinata completely ignored what her guard was saying, her eyes fixed on the direction where Naruto had disappeared, and she whispered in her heart, "See you next time, Naruto-kun."

After this day, Hyuga Hiashi, who was responsible for teaching Hinata the Hyuga Clan's secret Gentle Fist, was surprised to find that his daughter, who had always been gentle and not very interested in practicing Gentle Fist, suddenly became diligent.

In addition to completing the tasks he assigned every day, she also practiced privately.

And when she encountered problems she didn't understand, she no longer hid them in her heart like before, but actively asked about them.

In the end, the results of the extra training were gratifying. Hinata's progress in mastering Gentle Fist began to improve rapidly, and she gradually caught up with Hyuga Neji, who was known as a genius, reaching a level that attracted attention.

This made Hiashi very gratified. Although he didn't know what caused Hinata to start liking cultivation, it was undoubtedly a good change.

Rarely, Hiashi Hyuga, who always presented himself as a strict father, actually praised Hinata, the daughter he used to dislike.

And Hinata, praised by her father, became even more motivated to cultivate.

"Naruto-kun believes I should have strength far beyond ordinary people, so I must work hard to achieve this and meet his expectations."

This is Hyuga Hinata's most genuine thought deep down.

And the praise from her father, Hiashi, was an unexpected surprise for Hinata.
