Chapter 263: 263
Kisame and Hyuga Hiashi talked and laughed, as they walked out of the Hokage Building.
After walking along main street for a while, the two saw the police building headquarters not far away. And Uchiha Fugaku stood at the door of the building with a gloomy face. When the Uchiha ninjas who came in and out of the door passed in front of him, they all looked worried.
"Patriarch, didn't Hokage-sama tell you to go home and reflect on it? You still have time to worry about the work of the police department."
When Hyuga Hiashi passed by, he sneered.
When Fugaku heard that, he ignored him, but instead took a deep look at Kisame and nodded slightly to the latter.
"Hmph." Hyuga Hiashi snorted coldly.
He and Fugaku are the patriarchs of the two wealthy clans, Hyuga and Uchiha. The two are of the same age. Naturally, they are inevitably compared by the villagers. From their own strength, leadership, interpersonal relationships to children's education, etc., anything that can be thought of can be compared.
What makes Hiashi depressed is that he is at a disadvantage in many aspects and is suppressed by Fugaku everywhere. After a long time, there are often gossips saying that Hiashi is leading the Hyuga clan to decline and they are afraid that in a few years, the Hyuga clan will be thrown away by Uchiha clan and cannot be compared with them.
To this end, Hyuga Hiashi has endured a lot of pressure.
Until today, he finally caught a major mistake of Uchiha Fugaku.
The Kumo messenger in front of him has a distinguished status, and even Hokage dares not neglect the other party. But this time, the Uchiha clan attacked the hotel room at night, completely offending the messenger and having a bad relationship with Kumogakure.
On the contrary, thanks to the efforts of Hyuga Hiashi, the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Kumo messenger is heating up rapidly. If he can win the trust of the other party, it will be beneficial to the Hyuga clan.
Hiashi realizes that this is an opportunity for him to prove his ability and help the Hyuga clan turn their disadvantaged position into advantage in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Hiashi glanced at Fugaku proudly with the attitude of a winner, and then left the place with Kisame.
Fugaku watched the backs of the two go away, his eyes flashed, and muttered:
"It's almost time for me to do it"
Before touring Konoha, Hyuga Hiashi graciously invited Kisame to visit the Hyuga clan first.
Kisame readily agreed, and then asked casually:
"I heard that the Hyuga family has a genius named Neji Hyuga. The talent is rare even in a hundred years, is that so? If there is a chance, I would like to meet this little guy."
Hiashi was stunned when he heard that, and then he replied with some surprise: "I didn't expect Neji to enter the eyes of the messenger. That child did show a strong talent since he was a child, and he worked very hard, so even though he is less than five years old, he already has the strength to surpass others of his age."
"Oh? I am more interested in him now, I have to see him."
Kisame's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said to Hiashi, "Congratulations, Patriarch, you have given birth to such a good son. The Hyuga family is really talented, and the future is promising."
His compliment directly froze Hyuga Hiashi.
He smiled awkwardly and explained to Kisame:
"Hehe, Lord Messenger, you misunderstood. I don't have that fortune. Neji is the son of my twin brother, Hyuga Hizashi. I do have a daughter in my family, but alas, let's not mention her."
When talking about his daughter, Hyuga Hiashi looked disappointed.
"The patriarch is humble. You are talented, intelligent, and powerful. How can your daughter be not worth mentioning to?"
Kisame is still deliberately adding fuel to the fire.
Hearing this, Hiashi became more and more lost, and sighed: "I only hope that when the messenger sees her, Hinata will not make any humiliating actions."
Unconsciously, the two came to the gate of the Hyuga clan's mansion.
"woooooo"
As soon as the two arrived at the door, they heard the cry of a little girl coming from inside. Immediately afterwards, a little girl in a black ninja costume ran out of the gate, dashed down the street with her head down, and ran away without looking back.
"Hey, is that little girl the patriarch's daughter, Hyuga Hinata? Why is she crying so sadly? Did someone bully her?"
Kisame looked at Hinata running away, and asked Hiashi in surprise.
"What is this Hinata doing?"
Hiashi frowned, already starting to get angry. At this time, an elder of the Hyuga clan came out of the door with a young man with long black hair, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Elder, what's going on?" Hiashi frowned and asked sternly.
"Hiashi -sama, Miss Hinata just had a battle with Neiji. Although she worked hard, she still lost to Neiji. Miss may be too sad, so she ran out alone." The elder replied cautiously.
The Neji he was talking about was obviously the black-haired boy beside him. The latter stood there quietly after bowing to them showing a deep and steady temperament at a young age.
"Unfortunate defeat? I think it's a fiasco, right?"
Hiashi snorted coldly, and unceremoniously exposed the elder who helped Hinata with good words, causing the latter to smile embarrassedly and look embarrassed.
"As you know, Patriarch, it's not that the eldest miss has poor aptitude, but that Neji's talent is too high. He has been able to use Gentle fist proficiently. Even in the face of ordinary Chunin, he still has the strength to fight."
As the elder said so, he glanced at Neji, and did not hesitate to admire and praise.
"It's all taught by the patriarch and elder." Neji said calmly and very modestly.
"Neji, don't be arrogant, I'll check your gentle fist in person and see how much you've improved during this time." Hiashi's expression was stern, but the approval in his eyes could not be concealed.
"That"
At this moment, Kisame suddenly interjected, "Patriarch, your daughter just ran out of the house. She is so young, don't you worry at all? Why didn't you chase after her?"
"Lord Messenger, the village is very safe, and Hinata will be fine. My daughter is timid and weak since she was a child. She will only cry and run away when she fails. When she finishes crying, she will come home by herself."
Hiashi said, with a look of indifference.
"Lord Patriarch, why don't I go get Miss Hinata back, I should know where she is."
Neji hesitated for a moment, then said.
He and Hinata grew up together, and he was her cousin. Naturally, he would be very concerned about his sister, but with Neji's character, this kind of concern would not be shown too directly.
"No need, Neji. Your practice is important."
Hiashi refused, because he was going to let Neji perform well in front of Kumo messenger.
However, what Hiashi didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, Kisame beside him strode forward in the direction where Hinata disappeared.
"Lord messenger, you are?" Hiashi chased after him, feeling puzzled.
"You should always be more concerned about your daughter, right?"
Kisame turned his head and said to Hiashi with a smile.
Hiashi was helpless, so he could only go with Kisame to find Hinata on the street.
After a while, the two saw Hinata from a distance. She still ran forward with her head lowered, as if she wanted to escape from the family and leave this sad place.
Hiashi's eyes turned cold, and he was about to go to stop Hinata and reprimand her, when a small accident happened suddenly.
'Bang.'
Hinata didn't look at the road, and accidentally bumped into three children about her age. One of them was a little chubby, and when Hinata hit him, the ice cream in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
"Ah, sorry"
Hinata suddenly seemed to have made a big accident, and apologized to the other at a loss.
"Hey, why do your eyes look like this, it's disgusting."
"Don't stare at me, you are not normal."
"She must be the child of the Hyuga family, must be that Neji's cousin."
The three little devils pointed and talked around Hinata, making her bury her head in her chest and accept their accusations pitifully and helplessly.
The fatty looked at the ice cream that fell on the ground, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Let's take her to the woods and teach her a good lesson."
So, the three little kids pushed Hinata and walked into the woods not far away.
"Patriarch Hiashi, your daughter is being bullied by a few commoners, are you going to be indifferent about this?"
Kisame glanced at Hyuga Hiashi and asked in surprise.
"As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, how can I intervene in the affairs of the juniors at will? Wouldn't it be a joke if it spread out? Hinata's troubles should be solved by herself."
Hyuga Hiashi folded his arms across his chest and said with a frown.
In his opinion, Hinata is timid and weak by nature, and she must learn to overcome her own shortcomings and cannot hide behind her father all the time.
The Hyuga clan claims to be the No. 1 Konoha clan, and the clan members are very arrogant. As the eldest young lady of the Hyuga clan, Hinata should have this kind of arrogance, and use her Byakugan and gentle fist to severely teach those little devils who disrespect her.
Unfortunately, Hyuga Hiashi was soon disappointed again.
In the grove, Hinata, who was surrounded by three kids, opened her eyes wide and looked terrified. She didn't teach the other party a lesson as Hiashi expected, instead suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Want to run?"
Little Fatty shouted, grabbed Hinata's hair at once, and pulled her back.
"You want to run away without apologizing, what a bad girl."
"I can't forgive her!"
Under the fanning of his companions, the Fatty held Hinata's head and made her kneel on the ground, forcing her to apologize.
"Sorry Sorry"
Hinata kept apologising, tears streaming down unsatisfactorily, and soon wet the ground.
"Speak louder, I can't hear you. Apologize to me." The little fatty shouted.
"It's too embarrassing."
Seeing this scene, Hyuga Hiashi put his hand on his forehead as his disappointment with his daughter reached the extreme.
He thought of Uchiha Fugaku's sons, the eldest one, Uchiha Itachi joined Anbu at the age of nine and is known as a genius never seen before in the history of Konoha. The other child Sasuke also showed extraordinary ninjutsu talent and is a genius at the same level as Neji.
Looking at his daughter Hinata, he thought that she is simply a waste.
In terms of cultivating children, Hyuga Hiashi undoubtedly lost to his opponent Uchiha Fugaku, and he lost badly.
And he blamed most of the reasons for the failure on his daughter Hinata.
Kisame couldn't stand it any longer and walked up.
"Bullying a little girl is a really bad behavior."
He came to the fatty and the others, his hill-like body cast a shadow on them as he looked down at them.
"Uncle, who are you? Mind your own business."
Little Fatty was very bold, not only was he not frightened by Kisame, but instead glared at him.
Hearing this, Kisame smiled at the fat kid, revealing two rows of sharp teeth:
"I think you don't know how to respect others."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a big hand, grabbed his leg, lifted the latter upside down, and held him up high.
"Let go of me, woo woo woo"
Fatty suddenly revealed his true form, and cried while begging for mercy, frightened. His two companions also looked terrified, hugging each other tightly, not daring to move.
'Thud.'
Kisame threw the little fatty to his two companions, and the three little kids collided, fell to the ground one after another, and cried one by one.
"Cry? Whoever dares to cry again, I'll cut off his tongue."
Kisame squatted down, took out a knife from nowhere, gestured in front of the three little kids, and suddenly the three of them were so frightened that their crying stopped abruptly, and their bodies trembled.
Hyuga Hiashi, who was not far away, was stunned when he saw this scene.
The dignified Kumo messenger actually bullied a few civilian kids in the small woods of Konoha, this is too insignificant.
In fact, this is the difference between Kisame and Hiashi.
Kisame did not have the so-called aristocratic and masterful demeanor.
Although Kisame is already a powerhouse at the Six Paths level, he can still bully a three-year-old child without any psychological burden, and he is never tired of this behavior.
Otherwise, how could Tsunade say that he is a shameless bastard.
"Listen to me, I'm an envoy from Kumogakure, and even your Hokage will call me big brother. So, if I see you bullying Hinata in the future, I'll summon lightning and turn you into ashes."
Kisame grinned and made death threats to the three little kids.
As if this was not enough, he snapped his fingers as soon as he finished speaking, and a golden lightning bolt suddenly fell from the sky, smashing a tree a few meters away into two sections on the spot, setting a raging fire.
"Help!" "Mom!"
The three little kids were scared to pee on the spot, and they escaped from the woods without looking back, with a psychological shadow that they will never forget.
"Those who like to bully others must be prepared to be bullied by stronger ones."
Kisame looked at the backs of the few little kids fleeing, said.
Hinata, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned after watching the whole scene of Kisame extending a helping hand, helping her by teaching a lesson and driving away the three kids.
