Hokage’s arsenal system

CHAPTER XXII

Head to Hinata (Shiken asks for a flower collection!)

After a whole day of diligent cultivation, Kirito is also ready to go to Hinata’s house in the evening, after all, Assuna, who is the protected person, is now temporarily living in Hinata, and the progress of the difficulty A-level task is only 40% completed, which means that the danger is far from lifted, Kirito as a protector, if he can’t see the latter, then how is it like that?

It is said that because of the incident of Her Royal Highness the Princess being secretly calculated a few days ago, although this matter was secretly forbidden by Konoha high-level secrets to any insiders, but because of this incident, it really made the nerves of the high-level of Konoha very nervous. You know, if Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Land of Fire has any accident in Konoha, then the trouble on the side of the daimyofu will be great. Think about it, the safety of a country’s princess cannot be effectively protected, how credible is such a ninja village? Can it be trusted as a country’s military machine?

Therefore, it is conceivable that if Asuna really suffered damage or even lost her life in this incident, Konoha’s reputation in the Land of Fire would be greatly reduced, and even seriously affected the daimyo’s support for Konoha.

After this incident, Asuna was arranged to Hinata’s house, although it cannot be said that she was grounded, but Asuna’s departure was indeed monitored and protected by Hinata’s people. This made Asuna, who was very dissatisfied, she was stared at every moment when she was in the daimyo mansion, and she couldn’t imagine that she had to suffer such anger when she came to Konoha, thousands of miles away. However, because Hinata was injured in the third qualifier, Asuna, as a friend, did not have time to sulk with these boring ninjas, and stayed in Hinata these days, all accompanying Hinata on the hospital bed.

Another reason Kirito went to Hinata outside of the mission was to visit Hinata.

On this road to Hinata, Kirito also happened to meet an old man.

“Kirito!”

“Ayako, long time no see.” Kirito greeted the girl in front of him with a smile in a maid’s outfit, whose name was Ayako Hinata, who, like Kirito, was an important clan in the Hyuga family that had protected the younger members of the clan for generations, but the object of Kirito’s allegiance was Miss Hinata, and Ayako was serving Miss Hanabi. However, these levels of relationships are secondary, Kirito has always had a perfunctory attitude towards these superficial things, just like when he was still in Hinata’s house in the past, when there were outsiders, he still called Hinata “Hinata-sama” on the surface, but in private he didn’t call the latter by his first name? This has nothing to do with who comes before and after, but this is the most trouble-free, and can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. All in all, what Kirito is not interested in, you can say and do whatever you want, who cares? Just like now, the reason why Kirito asked Ayako cordially was not out of Hinata’s close relationship, but simply out of personal friendship.

“Kirito……. It’s only been a little more than half a year, and you’ve changed a lot~” Ayako was looking up and down at Kirito in front of her, and found that Kirito was slightly shorter than her half a year ago, and now she has grown to the point of being completely level with her. I couldn’t help but remember that Kirito was only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and it was natural for him to grow quickly.

“Ayako, it’s still unchanged as always~” Kirito responded with a smile.

“Woo~” When Ayako heard this, she was immediately unhappy, for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, words like “no change” are not very good comments!

Noticing the latter’s girlish thoughts, Kirito couldn’t help but wave her hand with a smile, “Lie to you, Ayako has become more beautiful and mature~”

“Yes . . . Is it? Hmph~” For Kirito’s casual praise, Ayako was puffy on the surface, but inside her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

In this way, the old people who did not meet each other met, and Kirito accompanied Ayako to hang out for a while. Usually, Ayako rarely walks out of Hinata’s house alone, as the personal maid of the second miss of the Hyuga family, she only has the opportunity to go out when she accompanies Hanabi, but today is an exception, Hanabi has to start training and practicing physical skills, and Ayako, as a maid, goes out to personally select suitable bandage sheaths and other training equipment.

Wandering around the way, the two also talked and laughed with each other, but for the two, there were really not many people who could talk freely, especially Ayako, who chattered with Kirito along the way more than she usually said in a week at Hinata’s house…

“That is, is Kirito going back to Hinata’s house now?”

“It’s a bit problematic to say~ it should be ‘going’ instead of ‘returning’.” Kirito smiled.

“Ah, so…” Ayako nodded thoughtfully, then tilted her head and asked in a low voice, “Kirito to Hinata……. Has it been approved by the adults of the clan? ”

“Nope.” Kirito said very directly.

“Huh?!” Ayako said in amazement, “Without the consent of the adults in the clan, Kirito you…”

“Why did I go to Hyuga to get the permission of the Hyuga clan?” Kirito said lightly, “Well~ In order to avoid trouble, I can use it as an excuse to go to see Asuna.” ”

“Asuna…” Ayako looked puzzled.

“It’s staying there temporarily, our Royal Highness the princess of the Land of Fire.”

“Huh?!” Ayako’s face was suddenly full of shock, and her eyes blinked, “Asuna… Is it the name of Her Royal Highness? In other words, Kirito how can you call Her Royal Highness the Princess by her name? ”

Kirito waved his hand and said, “That’s what she asked me to call her name directly, well~ these things that don’t mean much, don’t delve into it.” ”

“It doesn’t mean much…” Ayako couldn’t understand that it didn’t mean much to call Her Royal Highness by her name, but Ayako quickly said worriedly, “I want to see tomorrow……. Ah Her Royal Highness, even the people in the clan can’t easily see it, and the elders are even stricter than the younger generation to easily offend Her Royal Highness, Kirito, if you want to go to see Her Royal Highness, the elders in the horror clan will not allow it…”
