Chapter 33: Rise in the Name of Divinity - The White Eyed Princess of Konoha

## Chapter 33: Rise in the Name of Divinity Hinata spent half the day preening in her room, suddenly feeling a wave of embarrassment. "Oh, come on!" "What’s gotten into me? Why am I starting to dress up? Isn’t this something only little girls do?" Fun fact: After entering puberty, women’s bodies secrete estrogen, which promotes physiological development. For more details, please consult an encyclopedia. Hinata: "..." So that’s why! Hinata nodded in realization. As women enter puberty, it’s natural for their bodies to undergo certain changes. Kind of like Eastern Invincibility... But my situation is even more serious than Eastern Invincibility's! Is it the soul controlling the body, or the body’s instincts controlling the soul? That's an unanswered question. Hinata quickly adapted to the new norm, embracing her circumstances. Since I've already entered this body, from now on, I am Hinata, and Hinata is me. Even for the sake of an advantage, I can’t follow Orochimaru's example of body swapping! That night, Hinata found herself deep in thought. What is the ultimate meaning of life? The next morning at ten o'clock, Hinata dressed up prettily and met up with Ino and Sakura to take their ninja ID photos. By the time they finished the ninja registration process, it was already noon. The three of them headed to a dango shop, each ordering dango and red bean soup for lunch. Dining with the girls, Hinata naturally refrained from eating with abandon. She only ordered five skewers of dango and a bowl of red bean soup. Hinata found her appetite strange—as soon she ate a little, she wouldn’t feel hungry, but she also wouldn’t feel full even if she kept eating. Sakura clasped her hands together, praying, "In two days it’ll be team assignments. I hope I get to be in Sasuke’s team." Ino mocked, "Forehead, don’t delude yourself. No one can stop the love between me and Sasuke. He'll definitely be in my team!" "What did you say, Ino pig!" "Forehead!" "Ino pig!" Oh, here we go again! Hinata shrugged. These two had been arguing over Sasuke for six years, yet Sasuke never paid them any attention. And also... the one who’s going to be on Sasuke’s team is me! The power of connections can indeed alter even canon events. As for you two? Better not get your hopes up! On their way out, Hinata didn’t forget to pack some for Neji and Hanabi—Hanabi loves sweets. ... Two days later came the anticipated team assignment day. Hinata was full of expectations, deliberately sitting far from Sasuke and Naruto to avoid causing an unintended ripple effect as this little butterfly flapped her wings. Hinata even brought a camera from home to capture this historical moment. Yet to her disappointment, until Iruka came in with the team assignments, Naruto and Sasuke’s accidental kiss hadn’t happened yet. Oh right! In the original story, Naruto only got agitated because Sakura liked Sasuke, which led to them facing off on the desks. But now... “So the reason for Naruto and Sasuke’s accidental kiss... was supposed to be my mission?” Alright, I'll pass on that mission! Purposely getting close to Sasuke to provoke Naruto into kissing him felt just too embarrassing. "From now on, you’re full-fledged ninjas. However, you’re still newcomers, and the real challenges lie ahead..." Iruka droned on before finally getting to the point: "Uh... Team 7, Hyuga Hinata... Uzumaki Naruto, and...” "Awesome!" Naruto burst out excitedly. “...Uchiha Sasuke!” Naruto stood up, pointing at Sasuke with discontent, “Iruka-sensei, why am I, such an outstanding student, grouped with this guy?” To be fair, with Naruto’s mastery of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it wasn’t a given that Sasuke at this stage could beat him. Iruka scolded with his hands on his waist, “Sasuke and Hinata had the best scores of all the graduates, whereas you, Naruto, were last. Listen well—we made this decision to balance strength.” Only a fool would actually believe that, though. Sasuke snorted disdainfully without looking at Naruto, “Don’t hold me back, dead last!” Watching Naruto and Sasuke bicker, Shikamaru sympathetically glanced at Hinata, offering comfort, "Looks like you're in for some trouble." Sigh! ┑(￣Д￣)┍ In the beginner phase, Shino and Kiba definitely make great teammates. But let's think long term. Naruto and Sasuke are reincarnations of divine beings! ... At lunch, Hinata had no intention of bonding with her new teammates. Instead, she met up with Ino and Sakura for a meal. Hinata lamented, “After today, who knows when we’ll meet again!” Absentmindedly, Ino comforted, “Don’t be too sad, Hinata. You’re in a lucky spot; even with Naruto the dead last, your team at least has Sasuke! Unlike me, stuck with a fatso and a lazybones.” Sakura pulled at her hair in frustration, "Don’t even get me started, I’ve got it worse than you!" Imagining Sakura facing Shino’s insect army in the future, Hinata couldn’t help but feel wronged for her original self in the storyline. What was AB thinking? Assigning Hinata, such a proper lady, a teammate raising bugs! Having a farewell meal with Ino and Sakura, the Konoha S.H.E group was officially disbanded. From today onward, I, Hyuga Hinata, formally join the divine group, teaming up with Otsutsuki Ashura and Otsutsuki Indra! Henceforth, please call me: Otsutsuki Hinata! Rise, in the name of divinity! In the afternoon, during team assignments, various Jonin came and went, taking their team members, leaving only Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke in the empty classroom. Naruto complained, “What’s the deal? Why isn’t our teacher here yet? I wonder what kind of person our Team 7 teacher is, but he sure isn’t punctual!” Hinata laid on the desk, listlessly saying, “He's a white-haired middle-aged guy named Kakashi Hatake!” Sasuke and Naruto, upon hearing this, conjured numerous images of ‘white-haired middle-aged guys’ in their minds. In conclusion, if summed up in three words: not cool. “Huh!” Naruto curiously asked, “Hinata, how do you know that?” Hinata didn’t want to elaborate, casually responding, “He visited my house yesterday, saw him by chance!” “Oh!” Naruto suddenly got up, wedging an eraser between the door and its frame, and Hinata perked up. Time had passed for so long, Hinata almost forgot about this scenario. “Let me help you!” Delighted, Hinata retrieved some wire from her ninja kit, turning the door into a trap trigger by tying it with a bunch of chalk pieces, just waiting for Kakashi to take the bait. Were it not for a lack of tools, she even would have added something more entertaining. Like Akamaru’s droppings...
