“Zhihui, didn’t you bring a lunch box?”
Yamamoto Ino pushed her own lunch box in front of him, her face slightly flushed as she said, “If you don’t mind, we can eat together.”
Although she was quite bold, it still felt too intimate, almost like an indirect kiss.
“No, thanks.”
Younu Zhihui stood up and said, “I plan to eat out.”
Yamamoto Ino’s small face instantly showed her dilemma.
She wanted to go too, but she couldn’t waste the lunch her mom had prepared for her.
Younu Zhihui walked toward the front row.
As he passed by Hinata Hyuga, he stopped.
“Come with me,”
Younu Zhihui said softly.
Hinata Hyuga hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage, holding her lunch box as she left the classroom.
“What’s going on?”
Yamamoto Ino’s expression stiffened.
Clearly, she had arrived first.
Younu Zhino felt that the lunch box in her hand suddenly lost its appeal, and her mouth involuntarily twitched.
What about me?
I’m your little brother.
Should I just let you get away with this?
“Where… where are we going?”
Hinata Hyuga couldn’t help but ask.
They walked further away, reaching a secluded corner of the school.
“Ichiraku Ramen.”
Younu Zhihui stopped and said.
“Eh?”
Hinata Hyuga hadn’t expected that at all.
“Can we climb over?”
Younu Zhihui pointed to the wall and asked.
Hinata Hyuga was still a bit dazed and instinctively shook her head when she saw the wall.
The rules of the Hyuga clan didn’t allow her to climb walls.
That would be too disrespectful.
Younu Zhihui reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
With his chakra flowing, he jumped up and landed steadily.
“Are you okay?”
Younu Zhihui released the dazed Hinata Hyuga.
She came back to her senses, glanced at the wall, then at him, her mouth opening slightly.
If her father found out, she would definitely be scolded.
Younu Zhihui noticed her conflicted expression.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
He subtly took advantage of Hinata Hyuga's personality.
This is contemporary cunning.
“Hinata.”
Younu Zhihui extended his hand and said, “Give me your lunch box.”
Hinata Hyuga was taken aback for a moment, then handed it over.
“As a thank you, I’ll treat you to ramen.”
Younu Zhihui said with a faint smile.
Hinata Hyuga followed him blankly, a blush gradually spreading across her face.
She finally realized what was happening.
Looking at the lunch box in Younu Zhihui's hand, she bit her lip, feeling faint.
That was the lunch she had taken a couple of bites from.
It was a bit… unsanitary.
“Hey, Master Handmade!”
As soon as Younu Zhihui entered the shop, he shouted, “Nine bowls of ramen!”
“Nine bowls?”
The chef looked at the two little potatoes in front of him and asked, “Are you sure?”
“First, let’s have a portion of char siu ramen.”
Younu Zhihui nodded and said.
He didn’t explain.
Because the chef definitely wouldn’t believe him.
After all, his last name wasn’t really Otsutsuki.
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head.
Her heart was pounding fast.
“Here you go!”
Before long, the chef placed a bowl of char siu ramen in front of Hinata Hyuga.
He was about to ask Younu Zhihui what he wanted to eat when he saw him open the lunch box.
The chef couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
It was the first time he had seen someone bring their own lunch to his shop.
Wasn’t that saying his ramen wasn’t good enough?
Were you deliberately looking for trouble?
But because Younu Zhihui was just a kid, he didn’t say much.
Only soon did he realize how ridiculous his thoughts were.
All nine big bowls of ramen were devoured by the plain-looking little girl.
He had only seen the Akimichi clan ninjas eat that much before.
He didn’t expect there would be another expert?
And she was clearly from the Hyuga clan.
Hinata Hyuga felt his gaze on her, her toes involuntarily digging into the ground.
So embarrassing!
She instinctively looked at Younu Zhihui.
He had just finished her lunch, leaving nothing behind.
Her face instantly turned red, as if blood was about to drip out.
Was he serious?
Younu Zhihui said nothing.
He was worried that Hinata Hyuga would faint.
If that happened, he wouldn’t be able to explain.
When they returned to school, Hinata Hyuga finally returned to normal.
Younu Zhihui returned the lunch box to her.
The students in the classroom were already napping.
But some were still studying.
For example, Haruno Sakura.
She sat at her desk, flipping through her textbook.
When she saw Younu Zhihui and Hinata Hyuga, she couldn’t help but feel curious.
She thought Yamamoto Ino had gotten a head start, but unexpectedly, she hadn’t found her way either.
No, she was still worse off.
Haruno Sakura recalled how Uchiha Sasuke had been indifferent to her, clenching her fists.
She had to win him over!
“Wait for me after school.”
Younu Zhihui glanced at Hinata Hyuga and returned to his seat.
Wasn’t that the lunch for today?
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head again.
After the lunch break, class time arrived.
A group of people went to the playground.
“Taijutsu is divided into two types: Gentle Fist and Strong Fist.”
Iruka Umino began to introduce taijutsu.
Gentle Fist is the taijutsu of the Hyuga clan, used in conjunction with the Byakugan, making it virtually unbeatable in close combat.
Strong Fist has a broader range; aside from Gentle Fist, it generally falls under Strong Fist.
The most typical examples are Might Guy’s Leaf Village Fluid Style and the Eight Gates.
What Iruka Umino taught was the former.
Leaf Village Fluid Style is the most widely practiced taijutsu in the Leaf Village.
All Leaf ninjas know it.
Younu Zhihui glanced at Naruto Uzumaki.
Could this be the legendary Summer Hime Eight Hits?
His foundation was indeed terrible.
Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Hyuga were the most standard.
This is the advantage of the great ninja clans.
They get to learn taijutsu and ninjutsu earlier and have renowned teachers.
Uchiha Sasuke turned his head and just happened to meet Younu Zhihui's gaze.
In an instant, it felt like there was a spark.
He had already figured out the situation of his classmates.
Hinata Hyuga’s Gentle Fist was good, but her personality was terrible, which didn’t excite him.
Aside from her, it was Younu Zhihui.
His movements were terrifyingly standard.
Plus, he had exuded strong energy in the classroom earlier, making Uchiha Sasuke sense a kindred spirit.
After all, substitute ninjas were mutually attracted.
“Everyone go back and practice well; in the next practical class, I will let you spar.”
Iruka Umino clapped his hands and said, “Class dismissed!”
The students dispersed, each returning home to their mothers.
“Zhihui…”
Yamamoto Ino was frozen.
She saw Younu Zhihui walking toward Hinata Hyuga again.
Naruto Uzumaki stopped, scratching his head.
He still wanted to say he’d go home with the friends he just made.
“Naruto!”
Inuzuka Kiba waved to him from a distance.
Next to him stood Younu Zhino.
“Coming!”
Naruto Uzumaki smiled and ran over.
[Achievement ‘Golden Underdog’ unlocked, reward: White Pig Gu.]
[White Pig Gu: A first-level gu worm that transforms the gu master’s body, fundamentally increasing the gu master’s power.]
Younu Zhihui instinctively stopped in his tracks.
The White Pig Gu and Black Pig Gu have the same effect, both quite valuable, just differing in color.
But who is the golden loser?
