"What? You really want me to go to the Hyuga clan and provide psychological help to Hinata?!" Naoki said in surprise, looking at the Third Hokage.
Hiashi stood to the side with a crooked smile on his face.
"Yes, Naoki-san, ever since you saved my little one last time, she has often mentioned you. As a father, I can see that she admires you," Hiashi said helplessly, "And the last incident has had a strong impact on her, so I'm afraid I can only ask you to help her now."
"Okay," Naoki agreed, "How long will the mission last?"
"One month," Hiashi said.
"Okay, I'll just think of it as a vacation," Naoki nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Naoki-san," Hiashi said politely.
. . . . . .
After Naoki accepted the mission, he followed Hiashi back to their clan's territory.
On the way, he briefly explained Hinata's situation to him...
Ever since that incident, Hinata seemed to lack a sense of security. She would often wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares. Even her mother couldn't comfort her.
And that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Hinata, who is now almost four years old, needs to start some basic exercises. Of course, most children go to the academy at the age of six, and only then do they start training. But as a child from a great clan, naturally, she was treated more strictly than ordinary children.
Hiashi raised Hinata as the future heir of the clan, so it was normal for her to start training at her age. However, Hinata was currently unable to begin training. Every time she began training, she would constantly get distracted, absorbed in her thoughts. She did not have the fortitude that an heir of a great clan should have.
By chance, Hiashi found out that she admired Naoki very much, so he thought about asking him for help.
When Naoki and Hiashi entered the clan's territory, they saw Hinata sitting in the courtyard, swinging on a swing. She seemed to be thinking about something and didn't pay any attention to them.
"Hinata, look who I brought here?" Hiashi walked up and touched Hinata's head.
Hinata raised her head and looked at Hiashi, a quiet "Father" escaped from her, and then looked at Naoki. The moment she saw him, Hinata couldn't help but blush with joy, her face immediately turned red, and she screamed, "It's that older brother!"
Hinata didn't remember the name, but she knew that the first time she woke up after being kidnapped, she saw her older brother fighting for her. So she was very impressed with Naoki.
"Miss Hinata, long time no see," Naoki smiled and extended his hand to greet her.
"Yeah, long time no see, big brother," Hinata replied, blushing.
She is naturally shy, but her heartbeat quickened a little after she saw the man she admired so much.
"Haha, I'll leave you Hinata, I'll go do some work," Hiashi said with a satisfied smile and immediately left.
And Naoki was speechless, left with Hinata, who was only four years old.
Although Hinata would become a very beautiful woman in the future, Naoki didn't really have any thoughts about the current Hinata. He was really here to carry out a mission.
Luckily, Naoki had experience with children in his previous life…
Soon after, a painting could be seen in the courtyard...
Hinata ran happily, shouting "Naoki-niisan, Naoki-niisan" and trying to catch up with the guy.
Hiashi was hiding nearby and watching this scene, and a smile of relief finally appeared on his face.
. . . . . .
On the other hand, Esdeath also came to the Hokage's office and told the old man that she wanted to become a shinobi.
The third one looked at Esdeath sternly and suddenly became serious: "You want to become a ninja? Esdeath, are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm ready for any challenge," Esdeath replied indifferently.
"Okay, I'll arrange everything. You can come back," Hiruzen nodded.
Esdeath left.
The third thought for a moment, after a long time he called the ANBU and said, "Go and invite two advisors."
"Yes! Hokage-sama!" The ANBU accepted the order and left.
The Third Hokage stood up, looked out the window and muttered to himself, "Mysterious woman, what is your purpose? I hope you don't do anything that will harm Konoha, otherwise, no matter how beautiful you are, I will not spare you."
