Li Yaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Naruto finally realized what was wrong with this matter. He waited for the chance. He waited so long, what he waited for was in this brief moment. Waiting for Naruto to ask this question spontaneously.

Only in this way, he could naturally lead Naruto to the direction he expected and continue to develop. Otherwise, if it is too deliberate, maybe things will not achieve the effect he wants.

Looking at this silly little brother who was stupidly influenced by Asura, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, he was not too silly.

There is still salvation. At least he can find out what the problem is, even though a bit late.

It's just that Li Yaoxiang doesn't plan to tell Naruto the answer now. After all, he did not forget the pictures he had observed in Hokage Residence. I believe that in a short time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's 'divine assist' will help him solve this problem perfectly.

So, Li Yaoxiang's tone pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "I tell you to exercise and exercise! Why do you complain so much? Rest assured, as long as you continue to exercise, you will be able to make friends soon."

Naruto suspiciously said: "Really?"

"Of course!" Li Yaoxiang.

With Li Yaoxiang's affirmative answer, Naruto moved his little legs with 'haha' and continued to run on the snow.

...

At the same time, in this period of time when Li Yaoxiang told Naruto to continue to exercise.

Hyuga Clan's residence, in the courtyard of the Main House.

At this time, Hyuga Hinata was happily playing with the very tall wooden pile in front of him.

"HAH!"

"HYA!"

"HAH!"

"HA!"

She thinks thought she was very ferocious. But if the scene is seen by others, she can only be described as 'Kawai'.

This scene looks cute and lovely. But for the person involved, Hyuga Hinata, it was not easy at all!

The weather was cold. And not to mention, it was very painful to beat on the wooden pile palm by palm! Beating the wooden pile, her little hands became red and even blistered!

It's a pity that anyone who saw this scene felt sorry for her. In Hyuga Hiashi's opinion, it was nothing! Compared with the sacrifice of his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, he felt that the daughter should work harder 100 times than other people! [*TL note: Hiashi Hyūga (Hyūga Hiashi) is a shinobi from Konohagakure, as well as the current head of the Hyūga clan.]

Become more powerful! In the future, take the responsibility to carry forward the clan! This is worthy of the younger brother Hyuga Hizashi's contribution!

{**TL note: Some time later, in an event that would become known as the Hyūga Affair, Hiashi killed the Head Ninja of Kumogakure to save Hinata. Kumogakure demanded Hiashi's body as restitution; in reality, they wanted to obtain the secrets of the Byakugan. The Hyūga elders and Konoha's leadership proposed that Hizashi be used instead; as Hiashi's body double. In addition to protecting Hiashi - the Hyūga's leader - doing so would keep the Byakugan's secrets from being discovered; Hizashi agreed. When Hiashi tried to protest, Hizashi immobilised him with a single blow. He then explained that he was not doing this to preserve the Hyūga's structure, but to save the life of his brother, to prevent war, and to choose his own fate for the first time in his life.]

And Hyuga Hinata, who was only 3 years old, also understood why her father was so severe to her suddenly. She also knew that her uncle had sacrificed her life because of her recent affairs. So, she really understood.

Dare not complain. Dare not be coquettish with father. Try to be as strong as possible.

After punching Eight-Trigrams Palm at a very slow speed, Hyuga Hinata put away his little hand and hid his little hand behind his back, breathing heavily, only weakly said: "Father... Father... Father... I finished my practice."

How could Hyuga Hiashi not notice these small movements of Hinata?

This was not the first time his daughter has practiced and get injured. He was not distressed when he saw how a little girl looked like this. It's just that every time when he thinks about the sacrifice of the younger brother, he will be hard-hearted again, posing a stern gesture in front of his daughter.

"Un." Hyuga Hiashi lightly 'un'ed and then said, "Remember to practice once every day before you can go out to play, understand?"

Hearing her father saying that she can go out, the 3 years old Hinata couldn't hide her excitement. Her eyes glowed, nodded very hard, and then she yelled an "um" and promised it.

She could go for a walk and have a look in such a hard day. This was the happiest moment for Hinata throughout the day!

It didn't take long for Hinata to change clothes.

She left the house with a personal guard.

....

After leaving for a long distance, this bodyguard behind Hinata was suddenly stopped by several Anbu ninjas: "Is something wrong?"

Anbu ninja: "It's nothing. But there are some things I would like to ask."

They did not give the personal guard the opportunity to refuse. Anbu ninja just wanted to pestered him.

Hinata, who was so cute, didn't notice what was happening behind her and went on. She walked towards the route she would usually take on the weekdays.

The reason for this route was all because of a boy. A boy who she wanted to know for a long time. The boy's character is always lively and cheerful. No matter what happens, he will keep a hearty smile every day.

Hinata hopes that she can have a character that is not introverted or cowardly like the boy.

Because she knew that this was the most ideal daughter in her father's mind. Although she knew this hope was very difficult to realize, she still wanted to see the boy more. Because whenever she saw the boy's hearty smile, her mood would also follow involuntarily with happiness. The boy's smile kept circling in her mind. But walking around, Hinata found that the surrounding environment had changed!

The store is gone! The crowd is gone! The rest is just the dark and scary jungle on the left and right sides.

Before she could react to it, there was a huge pain in her head.

Immediately afterwards, she heard various laughs not far away.

"Hahahahaha! White-eyed monster! How dare you come out today without a guard? See if I won't kill you!"

"Hahaha! Stinky coward, how dare you run out to be scary? Kill you white-eyed monster!"

She looked towards the direction of the sound.

Those were a few boys a little older than her. Hinata recognized these boys.

Every time she walks this route, she will encounter these boys playing. She felt that these boys do not like her. What puzzled her is that normally, as long as there are guards, these boys will not treat her like this. Why dare to bully her today?

Hinata subconsciously looked behind her. She wanted to ask the guard for help. It's a pity that no matter where she looks, she can't find any trace of the guard.

She became very scared and began to panic.

Completely at a loss.

She looked at these 'tall' boys. Hinata's tears gradually soaked her eyes.

It's a pity that her pitiful appearance did not welcome the pity of the boys. The boys showed an expression of excitement and began to throw snowballs at her, hitting on Hinata's body.

PA!

PA!

PA!

PA!

Hinata couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.

They still did not intend to stop. Even more so because of the sudden addition of a target like Hinata, they felt very happy.

Just at the moment when Hinata felt the most helpless and the most feared, there was a domineering voice not far away: "Stop! You guys should stop!"

It was a yellow hair with a few strange whiskers on his face, and a boy of her age.

After seeing this little boy in front of him, Hinata's pitiful look couldn't help but show a smile.

'It's him...'

'The boy is coming...'
