Chapter 289: Confidence Doubled, Fierce Battle Plan
"Hinata, are you recovered?"
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Hinata Hyuga's shy appearance, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the preliminaries when the cold and arrogant Hyuga Neji beat Hinata Hyuga until she vomited blood...
Hyuga Neji's indifferent look made Uzumaki Naruto very angry and disgusted.
"Your body? It's almost recovered!"
Hyuga Hinata raised one arm, stroked the injured shoulder, and spoke gently.
"Naruto-kun, didn't you go to practice with Master Yufeng? Why are you here..."
Hearing Hyuga Hinata's question, Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head.
"Uncle Yufeng gave us a special break today. When I came over, I saw you!~"
Uzumaki Naruto looked around with emotion.
"I walked here without realizing it. Maybe this is because this is where I became a Genin!~"
The gentle look on Hyuga Hinata's face became even more intense.
"Naruto-kun, the final exam will start in a few days, Naruto-kun... do your best!"
Uzumaki Naruto regained his fighting spirit on his face.
"Yeah! Thanks Hinata!"
Uzumaki Naruto said with a solemn vow.
"By the way, if I can meet Hyuga Neji in this competition, I will help you get revenge!!"
Hyuga Hinata heard this and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Hinata Hyuga is naturally gentle.
After all, Hyuga Neji is his cousin, but looking at Uzumaki Naruto's determined look, he doesn't know how to persuade him.
"That guy named Neji is your relative, right?"
Hyuga Hinata was stunned.
"You are relatives, but he actually used such harsh methods on you. It's unforgivable!"
After Uzumaki Naruto finished speaking, he took two steps towards Hinata.
"By the way, Hinata. Is that Neji guy very strong?"
Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but recall what teacher Kakashi had said about the Hyuga family's special physical skills: acupoint pressing.
Rock Lee also said that the strongest man among Konoha's Genin is Hyuga Neji from their group.
"Ningji-nii? Yeah, very strong..."
"That's it!"
Uzumaki Naruto seemed to be in a bad mood, obviously he was hit hard.
Hyuga Hinata hurriedly explained.
"B-but... Naruto-kun, you might be able to win!"
Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto laughed heartily.
"Yeah, now he's very powerful. He's learned the Rasengan and can summon frogs! Hahaha!"
Although he was smiling, Hyuga Hinata could clearly see that Uzumaki Naruto was not confident at the moment.
"You can definitely win!~Naruto!"
"Ok?"
“Well, last time when you cheered me on, Naruto-kun, I felt like I was stronger than before.
After the preliminary exams, I started to like myself a little bit.”
Hinata Hyuga thought that although she was seriously injured by her brother Neji this time, she was braver now compared to her before.
“Maybe in the eyes of others, I haven’t changed much, but I feel that I have changed.
I think this may be your credit, Naruto!"
Uzumaki Naruto's heart warmed, he understood.
This is Hinata Hyuga encouraging herself, and then a serious look appears on her face.
After this period of special training, Uzumaki Naruto has deeply realized his own shortcomings.
Just like the Rasengan I've been practicing during this period, I've failed countless times!
If it weren’t for Uncle Yufeng’s impatient teaching every day.
I'm afraid...
"Hinata, I always failed before. I was unwilling to accept this, so I always acted stubbornly..."
"But now, I've become stronger and I can feel the changes in myself, Hinata...thank you so much!"
Seeing Uzumaki Naruto regain his spirits, a smile appeared on Hinata Hyuga's face.
“It is precisely because of failure that we can stand up strong and face it.”
"I think that kind of strength is the real strength!"
"I think you are a very powerful person, Naruto!"
Uzumaki Naruto's eyes widened when he heard Hinata Hyuga's words.
Isn't this what I think in my heart?
Hinata, the guy who gets shy every time he sees me.
How come she knows herself so well!
"Thank you, Hinata!"
"Hey, are the young couple encouraging each other here?"
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Hearing the young couple, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata's faces suddenly turned red.
"Lord Yufeng!"
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head shyly and kept poking her fingers.
"Uncle Yufeng, why are you eavesdropping on other people's conversations again!"
Uzumaki Naruto looked embarrassed and annoyed, and did not forget to look around after he finished speaking.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only Uchiha Yufeng was there.
He looked unhappy towards Uchiha Yufeng.
"I gave you a day off so you could rest, not go on a date!"
When she heard about the date, Hyuga Hinata's face turned red like a sunset cloud and she could hardly stand.
Uzumaki Naruto on the side was not in much better condition, his face was flushed.
"What is this, Uncle Yufeng!!"
Looking at Uzumaki Naruto, he looked unhappy, but helpless and frustrated.
Uchiha Yufeng smiled calmly.
"I'm not old yet. You don't have to shout so loudly every time! I can hear you!"
When Uzumaki Naruto heard these words, he looked at Uchiha Yufeng and gritted his teeth.
"What, is there something wrong with your teeth?"
Uzumaki Naruto saw Uchiha Yufeng's gaze fall on his head, and he shrank his neck out of habit.
"Naruto, I won't eat ramen with you tonight."
In recent times, we almost always practice until very late at night before disbanding.
All the barbecue restaurants around were closed, and the boy was all alone.
Uchiha Yufeng would eat ramen with the boy every night.
Give them a day off today so they don’t have to eat ramen late at night.
Also, Yuhi Hong and Yugao are having dinner together at home today.
Take advantage of this opportunity.
By the evening, after Nohara Lin had been almost coaxed by me.
He used Flying Thunder God to take her to Xihi Hong's house...
By then, I'm afraid another fierce battle is inevitable.
"I still have a few coupons here, I'll give them all to you!"
Uchiha Yufeng threw all the ramen coupons and barbecue coupons to Uzumaki Naruto.
"Uncle, I don't need so much!"
Looking at so many coupons, Uzumaki Naruto's eyes widened.
"Can't use it?"
Uchiha Yufeng asked back.
Then he looked at Hyuga Hinata.
"Don't we have Hinata? You two can use it together!"
Hyuga Hinata was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red.
My head felt dizzy and I was about to fall to the ground.
A nimble figure quickly came forward.
He held her tightly.
"Yufeng, you only know how to bully Hinata! Wait and see how I'll deal with you!"
Hearing this voice, Uzumaki Naruto's eyes lit up.
"Teacher Hong!!"
Before he could say anything else, he was hit on the head with a fist.
Uzumaki Naruto staggered and almost fell.
"Uncle Yufeng, why did you hit me?"
"What am I doing? This is my red, why are you so happy? What, do you want to complain?"
Uzumaki Naruto had cold sweat on his forehead.
Looking at his guilty look, it was obvious that Uchiha Yufeng had guessed his thoughts.
"me……"
Seeing Uzumaki Naruto hesitating, Uchiha Yufeng's gaze fell on Yuhi Kurenai.
Today, Hong is wearing a jonin vest, looking very heroic.
There is actually a bit more coolness in it than usual.
Uchiha Yufeng felt restless when seeing this.
Thinking of the plan he had just come up with, Uchiha Yufeng was certain.
It looks like it has to be done!
"Hong, you haven't had lunch yet! Let's go eat and ignore this brat!"
Uchiha Yufeng brought Yuhi Kurenai with her, and Yuhi Kurenai was holding Hyuga Hinata in her arms.
After a while, the three of them left.
Uzumaki Naruto was left alone, looking envious and jealous.
"Uncle Yufeng is really good at talking! He made Teacher Hong so happy with just a few words. When will I be able to do that?"
Uzumaki Naruto's face showed a hint of dejection.
I touched my somewhat deflated belly.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! I'm a little hungry, let's go eat some ramen first!!"
