Chapter 16 Hinata's Transformation
Chapter 16 Hinata's Transformation
"Ok?"
Akali frowned slightly, casting three question marks.
If in her original world, when faced with core subjects like Chinese, math, and English, then secondary subjects like physical education and art would have to give way.
Therefore, in the Ninja Academy, the Will of Fire course holds the same status as Chinese, mathematics, and English.
How come a class like this is already ending after only starting?
Faced with this anomaly, not only Akali but everyone else was also very puzzled.
"Iruka-sensei?" Sakura, the top student, politely raised her hand. "Didn't we just start class?"
"Class had just started, but we also ended get out of class at the same time!"
Iruka explained, "Because the assessment a month from now is very difficult, the school has decided to give everyone a month off to improve on their own!"
"Of course, considering that some students do not have the opportunity to improve themselves even if they go home, Mr. Shui Mu and I will hold a special intensive training class this month. Interested students can just come to class as usual this month."
"what!"
Iruka's words caused a stir among the crowd.
They originally thought that even if they replaced the test with a high-level ninja, it wouldn't be too difficult. They couldn't let them fail to graduate, could they?
However, the Ninja Academy has given them a month-long vacation to improve themselves, which makes the assessment a month later extremely important.
Immediately, no one felt relaxed anymore, and everyone wore a heavy expression.
Faced with this cunning adult's scheme, even someone as clever as Shikamaru became nervous.
Only Akali sensed something was utterly strange.
Because this is something that didn't happen in the original story.
"So, is it the butterfly effect?" Akali wondered to herself.
"Because I squeezed out Mizuki's scenes, and Naruto is still missing one test, we use this attitude to cover it up and show that we are targeting everyone."
"But in reality, this is specifically targeting Naruto; everyone else is just there to make up the numbers?"
"It's not impossible..."
After all, Akali knows what kind of institution the Ninja Academy is, doesn't she?
Apart from a small minority, most ninjas who graduate from ninja academies are just expendable resources who only know some basic ninjutsu and taijutsu, and are manual laborers who perform low-level tasks such as weeding and transportation.
Why would such consumables warrant a special evaluation?
So after making some guesses, Akali felt relieved and stopped paying attention.
Then, seeing that everyone was somewhat distracted by his news, Iruka announced that school was over.
However, just as Akali was about to leave, Iruka called her back!
Following Iruka, Akali once again arrived at the familiar teachers' office.
She had assumed that Iruka had called her this time because of the letter of apology.
Before Akali could even pull out the ten-thousand-word apology painstakingly written by her shadow clone, Iruka apologized first.
"I'm sorry, Akali, I misunderstood you about Hinata!"
"Huh?" Akali tilted her head slightly, looking a little confused.
"Teacher Iruka, what's wrong...?"
Iruka was so angry before, why is he suddenly apologizing now?
"I just found out a few things!"
Iruka didn't say much, but looked towards the office door and called out, "Hinata, come in!"
A girl with pure white eyes walked out of the teacher's office.
"Ah... Akali, it's been a long time!"
Looking at Akali, Hinata's eyes crinkled into crescents, and she gently waved her soft little hand, revealing a cute smile tinged with shyness.
Akali understood why Iruka's attitude changed so drastically after seeing Hinata.
Hinata must have come forward to explain the situation.
"So, Iruka-sensei, you knew all along?" Akali asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Hinata told me everything!" Iruka nodded with some emotion.
Who would have thought that Akali's seemingly absurd actions actually contain a core of friendship and bonds?
Iruka couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He realized that he was sometimes too one-sided and lacked composure. He shouldn't have panicked because of the pressure from Hyuga and failed to even understand the truth of the matter.
Iruka silently reflected on his actions.
He was prepared to explain things to Akali in a serious manner.
Having heard that Hinata had told Iruka everything, Akali had no interest in listening to Iruka's sermons.
Before Iruka could even open his mouth, Akali hurriedly grabbed Hinata's soft little hand and pulled her out!
The two women vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
……
……
[Ding! Iruka's emotional value +999!]
In a secluded corner of the ninja academy's training ground, Akali turned her gaze away from the emotional points she had gained from Iruka.
Then she looked at Hinata, who had a gentle smile on her lips.
Akali frowned slightly and asked uncertainly, "Hinata, you seem a little different than before!"
"Different? Is it?" Hinata blinked in confusion.
"emmmmm..."
Looking into the other person's pure white eyes, Akali was also somewhat unsure.
But when Akali saw Hinata again, she felt that she had changed a lot, whether it was her disgust when she saw Naruto and Sasuke kissing before, or her quiet and serene demeanor just now.
Unlike the Hinata of before, who was insecure and introverted, like a little rabbit that would immediately retreat into its burrow at the slightest touch and not come out for a long time.
Could it be that her desensitization treatment really worked? Is Hinata not so introverted anymore?
Akali was a little happy.
Because this also means that Hinata can get closer (scratch that), and make contact.
But now is not the time to stick them on.
Recalling what had just happened, Akali asked seriously, "Iruka said you told him everything. What did you say?"
Akali was so eager to bring Hinata up because that's exactly what she wanted to ask.
Hinata, that silly girl, did she reveal that she has feelings for Naruto?
"You didn't say anything?" Hinata asked, somewhat bewildered. "I just said that because I'm so shy, I want to not be so shy anymore."
"Naruto is usually very easygoing and puts the least pressure on me, so I asked Akali to transform into Naruto to give me a boost and help me get out of my shy state!"
"So, Iruka-sensei has misunderstood!"
"I see!" Akali was relieved after hearing Hinata's description.
However, another problem has also arisen.
Why is Naruto's carefree personality the least stressful thing for Hinata?
He was clearly the one who put the most pressure on Hinata!
But Iruka believed Hinata's explanation!
In other words...
Hinata, who was originally as gentle as a mimosa, was able to lie to Iruka without batting an eye and fool him!
