Chapter 59: It Feels So Good to Beat Someone Up - The White Eyed Princess of Konoha

### Chapter 59: It Feels So Good to Beat Someone Up The leisurely and pleasant D-rank missions made Hinata feel alive again. "Ah, what a super happy day." Returning from the mission, Hinata stretched and relaxed her muscles, earning a bit more pocket money. A few days ago, something happened that left her heart aching and breathless. The reward for handing over the executioner's blade to the village was intercepted by Hiashi Hyuga. Hinata had no idea what under-the-table deal Hiashi struck with the Third Hokage, but whatever the reward was, it had nothing to do with her. Fuming, Hinata confronted him, only to be met with a casual response from Hiashi: "I'll turn a blind eye to your gambling pursuits." Impressive! Hiashi Hyuga, we're not done yet. In an effort to save money, Hinata could only eat three meals a day at home and even had to bring packed meals for missions. After several weeks, Hinata's little wallet was finally plump again. Can you believe I'm the Hyuga clan's eldest daughter? Weren't girls supposed to be spoiled? Could it be that I was picked up from somewhere? If it weren't for having the purest Byakugan, Hinata would seriously doubt her lineage—why was her allowance cut off right after graduation?! I'm still just a child, after all. “Damn it! Sasuke, I'm gonna kill you!” “Hmph!” Just as Hinata was lost in her thoughts, Naruto and Sasuke seemed to be in yet another fight. If Kakashi hadn't intervened, they might have come to blows. Kakashi sighed wearily, "Ah, our team spirit has really been lacking lately!" Hinata nodded in agreement, "Exactly! And it's all Kakashi-sensei's fault. We should have more group meals to boost our friendship!" Kakashi: "..." Kakashi had no idea what misfortune had befallen him. His three students: one was a fool, another obsessed with acting cool all day, and the last one a little money-grubber who wouldn't eat out unless someone else was paying, always bringing food from home even for missions. Humph! Home-cooked meals are clean and nutritious. Sometimes Kakashi looked at Hinata and felt a twinge of pity—a poor little girl... Although he always thought it was some genjutsu tricking him into thinking Hinata was pitiful, that must surely be an illusion. "Chirp" A long bird call echoed from the sky. The four of them looked up in the direction of the sound, spotting a carrier bird flying overhead. Kakashi pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, everyone, that’s it for today. I have to go submit a report." Hinata was indignant at this, pointing at Kakashi and criticizing, “Kakashi-sensei, you really just bully the weak and fear the strong. You're always late when meeting us, but when the Hokage calls, you run off immediately. Shameful!” "Ah!" Having spent so much time around Hinata, Kakashi had developed a serene mindset. He calmly replied, "Well, I do have to earn my livelihood under the Hokage, after all." "I'm off!" Sasuke turned on his heel and left, hands stuffed in his pockets. Since the Land of Waves mission, Sasuke had become particularly withdrawn, always training alone whenever Kakashi wasn't around. Not wanting to bother with him, Hinata was about to say goodbye to Naruto and head home for a nap when she noticed Naruto approaching with a sly grin. "Hinata, with Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke gone, why don't we... train together?" Finally some validation of her charm, but why didn't it make her happy? Hinata's turn was rigid, and suddenly she spotted a peculiar object behind Naruto—square-shaped with two holes peeking out. "What the heck is this?" The odd object was lifted, and three little brats crawled out of it with effort, quickly posing together and declaring loudly, "No wonder the boss took an interest in you; you spotted the flaw instantly!" Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking bashful. "Heh, didn't think you kids were so sharp!" 'Crack' Hinata felt a string named 'rationality' snap in her mind. Slander! I don't care if you're the future Seventh Hokage or the Hokage's grandson—I'm going to kill you all. 'Pow!' Even though it wasn't the first time she beat up Naruto, it still felt exhilarating for Hinata. Because this time, she used not Gentle Fist but a solid Iron Fist. A punch to the face, blood spurting everywhere. Naruto rolled on the ground several times before crashing into the wooden fences lining the road, leaving a large hole. Before Naruto could get up, Hinata was already gathering chakra in her fists, glaring menacingly at Konohamaru. That gap-toothed little brat, she finally caught him today. After giving Naruto and Konohamaru a thorough beating, Hinata left, utterly satisfied. No fear here. I am not only the heroine of the original Naruto series but also the leading lady in countless fanfictions. Believe it or not, if all the main characters from those fanfictions were here, one command from me, Otsutsuki Hinata, could summon a legion of cross-world travelers to steamroll the world. "Crazy woman!" 'Crack' Rationality snapped again. "Stop right there!" Naruto and the Konohamaru Corps fled for their lives, rounding a corner only to slam into someone with a 'thud.' "Huh?" Seeing this, Hinata slowed her pace—it was Kankuro and Temari. Was the Chunin Exams finally beginning? "Ow! That hurt!" Kankuro's face was filled with arrogance and disdain, reaching to grab Konohamaru for a lesson. In the next instant... Kankuro was sent flying backward, blood spraying from his nose and mouth, tumbling farther than Naruto had, and crashing into another wooden fence along the street, making another big hole. Poor Konoha fences. By the time Kankuro stopped rolling, his eyes had rolled back, entirely losing consciousness. The Konohamaru Corps exclaimed in unison, "Awesome!" ‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’ Hinata landed a punch on each of them and huffed, "I'll deal with you later." Turning to Temari, Hinata preemptively shouted, “Hey! Are you Suna spies?” That's right! They had to be spies, brazenly wearing Suna headbands in Konoha, even trying to abduct the Third Hokage's grandson. How audacious! As she spoke, Hinata raised her fist, ready to give Temari a beating. "Wait, it's a misunderstanding. We're not spies." Seeing the girl with the Byakugan about to give her a thrashing, Temari gripped one end of her three-star fan, shaking her other hand frantically as she explained, "We're Genins here for the Chunin Exams; didn't you know?" Well, there went her reason to fight. If only she'd acted quicker—kicked things off with Twenty Gods Air Strike for a no-holds-barred face blast. Why hesitate with Air Palm? A total misstep! Gaara is really strong; if she could use the 'spy' excuse to beat his teammates to death, maybe he wouldn’t join the Chunin Exams. Then again, Suna could always assign Gaara new teammates! Nevermind, let them be for now. Hinata's eyes softened, her face lighting up with a polite smile, adopting the demeanor of a true noble lady as she gently said, "Ah, friends from the Hidden Sand Village, my apologies for earlier." "I thought you were spies from the Sand, looking to kidnap the Hokage's grandson—such a mistake."
