Hinata Hyuga, the big eater in the ninja world, can eat even more than the neighboring Akimichi Clan.
After ruling out the possibility that Hiashi Hyuga or Rinka Hyuga was up to some wild tricks, there was only one truth.
Her bloodline was relatively pure.
Maybe it was an atavism.
The ancestors of the Hyuga Clan were the Otsutsuki Clan, who were extremely powerful and had a terrifying bloodline.
According to the law of conservation of energy, the purer the bloodline, the more difficult it was to develop.
Hunger was undoubtedly a signal sent by the body. It needed energy.
Just as the saying goes, swift horses are common, but horse - appreciating masters are rare.
No one understood Hinata's situation, and with her introverted personality, she had never been full.
If one doesn't eat enough, one won't have enough strength.
Her potential couldn't be brought out.
In Hiashi's view, she was very mediocre, and her talent was far inferior to Neji Hyuga.
As the heir of the main branch, this was undoubtedly unacceptable.
It was quite pitiful.
Natsume glanced at the oil on her mouth, took out a tissue, handed it to her, and said, "Wipe it off."
Hinata nodded shyly.
It was the first time she had lost her composure.
Especially in front of an outsider, looking so rude, eating chicken with her hands instead of chopsticks.
After wiping her mouth, Hinata wiped her hands to get rid of the oil.
"Are you full?"
Natsume asked again.
Hinata hesitated for two seconds. Remembering what he had said before, that she could be more free in front of him and didn't have to lie.
"No."
She nodded. Admitting her appetite like this was quite honest but made her extremely embarrassed.
Sure enough.
Natsume said apologetically, "I don't have any food with me now. I'll get you some later."
When he left, he only took one plate of roast chicken.
But he didn't dare to leave for fear that Yoru Satsuma would come looking for him and take this little girl away, which would be too ridiculous if Hiashi couldn't stop it because of his butterfly effect.
Hinata nodded obediently.
But after a moment, she suddenly realized the problem.
Why was Natsume here?
And it seemed that he had sneaked in.
"Did... did you come here specifically... to bring me food?"
Hinata lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and her two fingers poked at each other uneasily.
Your reaction is really slow.
Luckily, you met me.
Natsume thought for a while and said, "I saw the ninjas from Kumogakure acting furtively. They might be a threat to you, so I came to see you."
"Eh?"
Hinata opened her eyes wide.
It was a reason she hadn't thought of.
But after the shock came gratitude.
This was already the third time he had saved her.
She never even considered the possibility of him lying.
Being stared at by such a pure look, Natsume felt the pressure.
He suddenly understood Tsunade. No wonder she couldn't hold on.
"Th... thank you."
Hinata glanced at him and then quickly shifted her gaze.
"No worries."
Natsume stroked her soft hair and suddenly had an idea. He summoned a Katsuyu the size of a fist.
"What is this?"
Hinata looked at the white, soft thing and couldn't help asking.
"I'm leaving my summoned beast with you for the time being," Natsume said without further explanation. "Remember to hide."
He turned and walked towards the gate. The pre - set early - warning system had been triggered. Yoru Satsuma was just around the corner. It would only take a few seconds for him to find Hinata Hyuga.
Natsume climbed out of the window again. Hinata Hyuga instinctively wanted to run towards him, but then remembered his words and hid in the closet.
Originally, she was very scared. But now with Katsuyu around, her nervousness had eased a lot.
"He's so kind," Hinata Hyuga realized the reason why Natsume left Katsuyu with her. She put her hand on her heart and felt it pounding fast. Although she didn't know what kind of emotion it was, she knew she was happy.
As the young lady of the Hyuga clan, she had received many precious and rare gifts tonight. But in her heart, none of them could compare with that cheap chicken drumstick.
"Who's there?" Yoru Satsuma suddenly turned around and saw a somewhat familiar young man.
Natsume looked regretful. His stealth skills still needed improvement. He had planned to sneak behind Yoru and give him a good hit in the kidneys.
"It's you!" Yoru Satsuma's face darkened. "Natsume, Tsunade's apprentice."
"Am I that famous now?" Natsume was a bit confused when his name was called out.
Yoru didn't bother to explain. He recognized Natsume not because he was well - known, but because Natsume participated in the battle where the Cloud Ninjas were flooded. Unfortunately, he was one of the flooded ninjas, but fortunately, he survived and met this kid again.
The next moment, his figure blended into the night. At an extremely high speed, he drew a blade arc and slashed at Natsume.
Yoru didn't use ninjutsu. He thought he could quickly take care of Natsume and then go after Hinata Hyuga. But the reality proved that he was being too optimistic.
In an instant, Natsume drew out the Sword of the Thunder God, infused it with chakra, and the golden - tinged blade appeared.
Yoru's eyes widened. The Sword of the Thunder God cut through his long knife like it was tofu, and without losing momentum, it aimed to cut him in half. But he reacted quickly. He slid backward and then did a somersault to avoid the attack.
Natsume pressed forward and struck with his blade. Yoru sensed the danger, gritted his teeth, and lightning flashed around his body. He evaded the Sword of the Thunder God and ran away.
Oh!
Not being able to defeat Natsume in a short time meant failure. No matter how slack the Hyuga clan was, they would eventually notice.
"There's an intruder!" Natsume shouted, giving himself a little help. At the same time, he quickly formed the hand - signs for Water Release: Water Fang Bullet. The swirling water turned into bullets and flew out, slowing down Yoru's speed.
The next moment, several dark figures suddenly appeared and surrounded him. In the middle was Hiashi Hyuga.
He glanced at Yoru and then at Natsume, asking, "What's going on?"
"Why would a ninja from your village attack me out of the blue? Are you guys looking to start another war?" Yoru, knowing he couldn't escape, played the victim and asked.
He dared to come and kidnap Hinata because he was certain that Konoha didn't want to go to war again.
In fact, that was exactly the case.
However, in the original story, the actions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hiashi Hyuga were completely bewildering.
They actually let Hizashi Hyuga sacrifice his life.
It was outrageous.
Didn't Hiruzen Sarutobi ever think that this would disappoint other ninjas?
Now, thanks to Natsume's intervention, Yoru Satsuma didn't die. Kumogakure was in the wrong first and had no excuse.
Next, they just needed to prove that it was his fault.
Hiashi Hyuga naturally didn't believe Yoru Satsuma's words. He looked at Natsume, waiting for his explanation.
"I went out to use the toilet and saw him running into the inner courtyard. I was suspicious and followed him. But I didn't expect that he wanted to attack Miss Hinata, so I stopped him."
After Natsume finished speaking, Hiashi Hyuga and the others were immediately filled with rage. They surrounded Yoru Satsuma with killing intent on their faces.
One is a Cloud Ninja, and the other is a disciple of the Sannin. It's obvious who to believe.
"He's slandering me!"
Yoru Satsuma shouted.
"Then please explain why you were in the inner courtyard?"
Natsume easily delivered a decisive blow.
Yoru Satsuma immediately stammered.
The inner courtyard was where the female family members stayed.
How could a normal guest wander around here for no reason?
He's not someone with a reputation for being amorous like Cao Cao in history.
"Lord Hyuga, please leave this matter to the Hokage to handle to avoid affecting the peace talks between the two villages."
Natsume was afraid that Hiashi Hyuga would kill Yoru Satsuma in a fit of anger.
If you kill him, you're not just killing a Cloud Ninja, but your own younger brother!
Hiashi Hyuga, who was in a fit of anger, immediately calmed down. Yoru Satsuma isn't an ordinary Cloud Ninja. He now represents Kumogakure.
He gave Natsume a grateful look and ordered people to arrest the twelve Cloud Ninjas attending the banquet and escort them to the Hokage Building.

Natsume's mood immediately brightened.
There was still one last thing to do tonight: deliver takeout to Hinata.
