Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

About an hour and a half later, Hiashi Hyuga, who was training Hanabi, suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar, and then there was a sound outside the training room.

"Hiashi-sama!"

"Come in! What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Hiashi Hyuga asked.

"Hiashi-sama, Miss Hinata ate all the ingredients piled up in the kitchen. Not only that, she also ate the 20-point barbecue she bought." The man said with a slight breath.

"What?!" Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.

"Huh?!" Hanabi on the side also opened her mouth.

"The ingredients in the kitchen were eaten up? What happened?" The elder next to Hiashi Hyuga also asked.

"Well, why don't you go and see it yourself, Hiashi-sama?" The man couldn't help but say.

After all, he couldn't describe what happened, because he himself felt that what happened just now was a bit un-ninja.

"Then go and see, today's training ends here." Hiashi Hyuga said immediately.

After all, he would not feel at ease if he did not go to see her. After all, she was his eldest daughter.

If something really happened, it would be like the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan gave up on herself and ate herself to death. That would be really embarrassing.

When the group came to the kitchen, Hyuga Hinata was still sitting at the dining table near the door.

"Hinata, what are you doing?" Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hyuga Hinata who was still eating elegantly and couldn't help asking.

"Father, I'm hungry and I'm replenishing my energy." Hyuga Hinata put down the tableware in her hand, stood up and bowed before answering.

"I heard that you ate all the ingredients in the kitchen?" Hyuga Hiashi continued to ask.

"Yes, father, is there anything wrong?" Hyuga Hinata looked at the cheap old father in front of her and asked.

After Hinata Hyuga answered, Hiashi Hyuga rolled his eyes. After confirming that his daughter in front of him was not someone's transformation technique and that there were indeed no ingredients hidden in the kitchen, he asked again: "Hinata, what happened? Why did you eat so much?"

What Hiashi Hyuga wanted to ask most was why he ate so much but his stomach didn't swell at all.

"Father, I should say that I have never been full. So today I want to try what it feels like to be full. Father, can't the Hyuga family support a daughter like me who eats a lot?" Hinata Hyuga asked Hiashi Hyuga.

"What nonsense, you have never been full? Why don't you say it?" Hiashi Hyuga frowned and asked.

"Father, I am the eldest daughter of the main family. I must always pay attention to etiquette. How can I let you wait in the hall for me to finish my meal?" Hinata Hyuga said lightly.

"Hinata, you have changed!" Hiashi Hyuga said after a pause.

"Yes, father, since you don't like the timid me, and the Hyuga clan doesn't need the weak me, I want to try to change, and this change starts with eating enough." When Hyuga Hinata spoke, she touched her forehead with her hand.

"I'll wait and see!" Hyuga Hiashi, who understood the meaning of Hyuga Hinata's gesture, couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then said calmly.

As for the meaning of that gesture, many people present understood it.

The position of the forehead means a bird in a cage!

In other words, Hyuga Hinata clearly expressed to Hyuga Hiashi that she didn't want to be engraved with the caged bird curse mark.

"I will try my best not to disappoint father. Then everyone in the kitchen, continue, I'm already 80% full, please try harder." After saying that, Hyuga Hinata sat back again.

Uh.

Everyone who heard this couldn't help but look at Hyuga Hiashi.

"Let her eat enough, and let someone prepare enough ingredients every day." Hyuga Hiashi made a decision immediately.

Although he had intended to give up his eldest daughter before, after seeing Hinata at this moment, Hiashi Hyuga felt that he could fight for it again.

After all, he had seen his daughter's changes that were different from the past.

For a thousand-year-old family, the eldest son and eldest daughter inheritance system would not be shaken unless it was absolutely necessary.

In other words, as long as Hinata Hyuga's performance could satisfy Hiashi Hyuga and the elders around him, she could take back the position of the heir of the main family at any time.

But on the other hand, Hanabi Hyuga would also be engraved as a bird in a cage on that day.

Of course, before Hinata Hyuga's status as the heir of the main family was confirmed, Hiashi Hyuga would not fall behind in the training of Hanabi Hyuga, after all, the training of the heir could not be missed.

After a small farce, the main family mansion once again returned to a calm state.

But the rumor about the main family's eldest daughter's appetite that was comparable to or even exceeded that of the Akimichi family slowly spread.

Another hour later,

when the kitchen staff were almost exhausted, Hinata Hyuga put down the chopsticks in her hand with satisfaction.

"Miss Hinata, Master Hiashi is waiting for you in the study." A figure came to Hinata Hyuga after she walked out of the kitchen and spoke.

"Haru, have you been busy these two days? I haven't seen you." Hinata Hyuga asked softly in a soft voice.

"The clan has arranged a mandatory task temporarily." Haru Hyuga replied with a stiff face.

"If there is any mission to find you in the future, let the person who notifies you ask me first, remember?" Hinata Hyuga said lightly.

"Yes, Miss Hinata!" Hinata Haru said loudly, after all, she has always been the maid serving the eldest lady of the main family.

She was very reluctant to be forced to return to the branch family by the head of the branch family these two days. She originally thought that there was no chance to serve Miss Hinata, but she didn't expect that things would turn around.

"Let's go to the study!" After saying that, Hinata Hyuga walked in front slowly.

After a while, Hinata Hyuga and Hinata Haru came to the study of Hinata Hiashi.

"Hiashi, Miss Hinata is here." After arriving at the door of the study, Hinata Haru stepped forward and said.

"Come in!" Hinata Hiashi's voice came from inside.

After getting permission, Hinata Haru opened the Japanese paper door for Hinata Hyuga, and closed it after Hinata Hyuga entered, and then stepped back a distance. On the other side, after Hinata Hyuga came in, she found that there was not only Hiashi Hyuga in the study, but also another old man.

"Father, Grandpa, I wonder what you want me to do?" Hinata Hyuga took a few steps forward, knelt in front of the two, and then took the initiative to ask.

"Hinata, your way of speaking and doing things are very different from before. Don't you have anything to say to me?" The old man asked Hinata Hyuga with a serious face.

"What does grandpa want me to say to you?" Hinata Hyuga asked softly.

"I want to hear the reason why you have become a stranger." While the old man was speaking, the blue veins beside his eyes bulged, and the atmosphere in the whole study became extremely solemn for a while.

"I didn't expect that grandpa saw through this." After opening his white eyes calmly, Hinata Hyuga replied lightly.

"Hinata, what do you mean?" Hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows before asking.

"I am Hinata Hyuga, and this Byakugan bloodline can prove it, it is indisputable. But I am not the Hinata you know. Strictly speaking, that Hinata is my interpretation, not my true nature.

And the me at this moment is the real me. It is precisely because I have never shown you the original me that the sudden change today will make you feel unfamiliar." Hinata Hyuga replied lightly.

"Interpreted?!" Hiashi Hyuga understood every word Hinata Hyuga said, but after Lian Cheng's words, the human heart made him a little confused.

Not to mention Hiashi Hyuga, even Hiashi Hyuga's father was surprised after listening to Hinata Hyuga's explanation.

"Why do you want to interpret? How could the past be an interpretation?" Hiashi Hyuga asked Hinata Hyuga in an unbelievable tone.

"Because I think if I don't interpret a cowardly Hinata, I'm afraid I won't be alive until now." Hinata Hyuga replied slowly.

"Who dares to threaten the lives of members of the main family?" Before Hiashi Hyuga spoke, the old man beside him couldn't help it.

After all, if it is really as Hyuga Hinata said, this is too much.

You have to know that Hyuga Hinata was still the eldest daughter of the main family until two days ago, and the first heir of the future Hyuga family.

Dare to attack Hyuga Hinata, it is a provocation to the Hyuga family.

"The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!" Hyuga Hinata said lightly.

"Uh" The old man's anger suddenly stagnated after hearing this.

"How could it be the third generation Hokage?" Hyuga Hiashi asked Hyuga Hinata with a puzzled tone.

"Why can't it be that old and immortal monkey?" Hyuga Hinata said lightly.

"Hinata, I want to hear an explanation." Hearing his daughter's evaluation of the third generation Hokage, Hyuga Hiashi opened his white eyes and looked around and said.

"Well, the explanation is that I'm too smart. I was so smart that when I was three years old, after seeing Uncle Hizashi being forced to death by the village, I realized that the family was at a clear disadvantage facing the village.

If I show my talent, with the old monkey's style of doing things, I might be taken away by the vicious dog named Danzo that he raised one day, and then disappear without a trace.

Especially when Hanabi was born, I was more worried about this problem. After all, even if the main family lost an heir, there was another one, and the inheritance would not be broken. And since the family retreated once in the face of the village, it may retreat countless times in the future.

So I need a character that can help me grow up safely, so what character can make the monkey feel at ease? A cowardly and kind eldest lady is pretty good. After all, even you have been deceived, so it is impossible that the old monkey cannot be deceived."

After listening to Hyuga Hinata's words, Hyuga Hiashi showed an indescribable look on his face.

As for the old man beside him, his expression was also complicated.

After all, the death of his youngest son by the village was not a sadness that the old man could easily forget.

And that day was also a day of shame for the Hyuga clan.

Once upon a time, the Hyuga clan was famous in the Warring States period and even before the Warring States period.

Who could have thought that there would be a day when a scum from a small family would take advantage of the situation to humiliate them like this.

But now is not the time to mourn the past. The old man quickly pulled himself away from the sad memory and asked, "Hinata, you were only three years old at that time, and you could think so much?"

Both the old man and Hyuga Hiashi were a little bit unconvinced.

"I didn't think so deeply at first. I just felt that the family couldn't give me a sense of security. It would be safer to pretend to be weak instinctively. After I learned enough information, I decided to maintain the image of cowardice and kindness until the past two days.

In fact, if my father and grandfather hadn't stated that they would deprive me of my status as the heir of the main family, I would have planned to maintain it for a while until I felt that I had enough power to protect myself, and then slowly adjusted to show my true colors.

It's a pity that you are a little impatient. In addition, the attitudes of the family members have changed a little too quickly in the past two days, and I don't want to be like Neji's cousin, who is a bird in a cage and has no control over his life and death. Otherwise, I would have to be so anxious to let you see a different me." Hinata Hyuga still explained slowly.

After listening to Hinata Hyuga's words, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but look at his father. He was a little at a loss at the moment.

Facing his son's eyes, the old man couldn't give any good advice for a while. After all, he himself felt that the words said by his eldest granddaughter were a bit fantasy.

But the blood of the Hyuga family cannot be faked, so if there is no problem with the identity, then even the most incredible answer is the only truth.

"Ahem, since you said you are very smart, it just so happens that I have a problem that I have never been able to solve. I wonder if you can give me an answer." The old man coughed slightly, adjusted his tone and said.

"Grandpa, please speak." Hyuga Hinata answered obediently.

"The Uchiha clan was suddenly exterminated a few years ago, which made me and your father worried. I wonder if you have any good solutions?" The old man looked at Hyuga Hinata and asked.

"Is it just this question?" Hyuga Hinata looked at Hyuga Hiashi and the old man and asked.

"Isn't this question enough to show your intelligence?" The old man couldn't help but ask back.

"Well, how should I put it? Let's talk about the Uchiha clan first. In fact, the Uchiha clan was destroyed because they were too arrogant and too stupid. If I were the head of the Uchiha clan, I would probably be planning to seize the position of the next Hokage at this moment." Hyuga Hinata answered confidently.

"Hinata, the Uchiha clan has an irreconcilable conflict with the village, otherwise they would not be destroyed." Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but remind him.

After all, in his opinion, his eldest daughter seemed a little arrogant.
