Chapter 287 The Masked Man with a Helpful Heart
"Ya, those things downstairs just now, could they be...?"
To Kiba's surprise, Hinata was the first to speak.
Hinata clasped her hands together in front of her, her eyes darting around as she spoke softly.
"Huh? Hinata, you actually knew?"
Ya was shocked.
No, I don't know.
Hinata quickly denied it.
However, this denial is like trying to hide something obvious.
"So what exactly is it?"
In the end, it turned out that Shino, who had the broadest knowledge, knew nothing and had to ask Kiba for help.
Helpless, Kiba could only begin explaining to Shino.
He was initially too embarrassed to say it, mainly because there was another seemingly shy and innocent girl in the team, Hinata Hyuga.
But now it seems there's a problem with the teeth.
It seems like they know more than I do.
But upon closer reflection, it's not entirely incomprehensible.
Of all the existing Konoha clans, the Hyuga clan is the most conservative, and their clan rules seem to be more important than the village rules.
As a member of the same family, Kiba Inuzuka's elders mentioned stories from the Warring States period when discussing the First Hokage's great achievements.
This was to prove just how great the First Hokage's achievements were.
The average lifespan of people during the Warring States period was less than 30 years. Note that this refers to people, not ninjas.
Besides the ninjas fighting on the front lines, this average lifespan was also inflated by the commoners, nobles, officials, and merchants who farmed the land in the rear.
It is said that back then, the members of the Inuzuka family did not even live as long as dogs.
Even the sons of the Senju clan leader and the two younger brothers of the First Hokage, Senju Kawarama and Senju Itama, were murdered when they were only seven years old.
Seven years old is really a turning point.
Some people die at the age of seven.
Some people can think from the perspective of the Naruto at the age of seven.
Some people have already developed the ability to transform into a second life at the age of seven.
In an era with extremely low life expectancy, where children as young as seven had to go to war, how could one ensure the survival of their family?
First of all, you can't have a seven-year-old in your family who thinks from the perspective of Naruto, otherwise there's no way to save them.
Once you've secured the first point, things become simple.
A family is a family because it has people.
As long as no one wipes out the entire clan at once, the family can ensure a stable supply of new blood.
Sending children to the battlefield at the age of seven is already very dangerous.
Fortunately, the ninja world has chakra, which allows people to develop earlier and be able to reproduce in just a few years.
Once production is possible, the various families will make arrangements immediately.
Because no one knows whether a person will survive the next time they go to the battlefield.
As for why the age for going to war isn't postponed until after having a baby?
First, there wasn't enough time.
Raising them for a few more years also means losing a large number of combat troops.
Second screening.
Those who did not survive the battlefield were not qualified to leave descendants, and any descendants they left would only be useless.
It would be better to leave the opportunity to those who survive and have more outstanding offspring.
As for the clan chief's sons and daughters, they have certain privileges and can be kept for marriage alliances.
In any case, all families at that time began this kind of education very early on.
And there was no attempt to hide anything.
It wasn't until the First Hokage ended the war that everything changed, so that children no longer had to go to the battlefield at the age of seven or become parents around the age of ten.
Since the Hyuga clan is so conservative, this kind of education is probably still an important part of their tradition.
That's what Kiba Inuzuka thought.
But the reality is quite different.
As is well known, under the influence of the will of Heaven in the ninja world, the children of the clan leaders of large clans were of lowly status. Whether it was Kushina, Itachi Uchiha, or Hinata Hyuga, they would all be bullied.
And apart from the characters that spawn regularly, no family members will stand up for them.
In this situation, Hinata Hyuga did something that involved switching genders and garnered over 10,000 comments.
That is tailing and spying.
Naruto is very naive. Although he studies the Seductive Ninjutsu series, it is only superficial and more like a child pretending to be an adult.
In addition, I'm not very bright and can't understand much about these things.
But Hinata is different.
When Hinata followed Naruto, she noticed him reading a book and naturally became curious about its contents.
With her Byakugan, a superpower that grants her X-ray vision and farsightedness, there's absolutely nothing that can stop Hinata from learning what she wants to know.
In the theatrical film "The Will of Fire" (the villain Hiruko), Kakashi took the place of the female lead since there was no female lead in the film.
During the finale of the movie, Kakashi smiled at Naruto, and everyone was relaxed when Hinata suddenly spoke up, saying, "That's so dirty."
This was followed by the comment, "I never imagined Kakashi-sensei had such a fetish for Naruto..."
They successfully diverted everyone's attention, making them begin to doubt Kakashi's abnormal feelings for Naruto.
During the Boruto era, while Sakura next door was blushing shyly over a name, Hinata flipped through Jiraiya's "Icha Icha" series in front of her son without blushing, her heart skipping a beat, or showing any expression.
This can be seen.
-
"Woof woof."
Akamaru, having thoroughly enjoyed a meal of Parker's dog food, came running over with a piece of paper in his mouth.
"This is?"
Kiba, who had just finished explaining to Shino what the thing on the ground was, took the note.
The note read—
[Beware of Kakashi; he's a sly, masked wolf in sheep's clothing. —A concerned bystander who hugged Naruto when he was a child.]
"Now the whole mystery is solved!"
Kiba stood up, clutching the note, and pointed towards the windowsill. "Some kind-hearted, righteous masked hero must have passed by, discovered Kakashi-sensei's filthy behavior, and couldn't stand it anymore. That's why they smashed those bottles and jars over there to expose Kakashi-sensei's evil deeds!"
The reason the masked man left this piece of paper is quite simple.
He hoped that Konoha could punish Kakashi and stop him from using his Sharingan to absorb knowledge all day long.
This severely impacted the normal life and fighting of another tenant.
"Suck, suck."
"Wait a minute, why does this room smell like history?"
Kiba Inuzuka sniffed.
—This is the scent that the masked man accidentally picked up after entering the Kamui dimension, and it remained after he came to Kakashi's house.
"Naruto-kun is so pitiful."
Hinata covered her face.
"Well……"
Ya's puzzled expression froze instantly.
—How come Hinata understood immediately again? This made him lose face.
Fortunately, after racking his brains, Kiba finally figured out the reason when Shino asked him for an answer.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Kakashi... I never expected him to actually... bring Naruto to his senses!"
Kiba Inuzuka looked sad as he gazed up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.
"Shall we report this to the Hokage?"
Shino offered his own perspective.
"Of course! We must report it!"
"But before that, we need to find more evidence here."
"If we leave now, Kakashi will come back immediately and destroy the evidence. Then there'll be no way to deal with it. Our opponent is a Jonin!"
"Hmph, so what if you're a Jonin? Kakashi's been outmatched by the three of us geniuses. We're all reconnaissance ninjas—Hinata, Shino, let's go!"
At Ya's command, the three men and the dog began ransacking the place, searching for evidence.
