Ryuji was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly felt a small hand touching his face.
" ¡Gan Ling Niang, You don't let me sleep!" (Gan Ling Niang-> Damn it, Fuck You).
Ryuji roared angrily but immediately regretted it.
In front of him, a small face stared back at him, with a pair of pupils as white as snow. The girl's eyes seemed to mist over, probably due to Ryuji's sudden shout.
"You! You! Who are you, and why are you in my sister's room?"
Suddenly, Ryuji understood what was happening. The girl in front of him was none other than Hanabi Hyuga, the youngest daughter of Hiashi and sister of Hinata.
Although Hinata had been surpassed by Hanabi in terms of skills and had lost to her, the relationship between the two sisters was very close.

Ryuji tried to calm the situation. "I will be your teacher in the future, Hanabi. And I had no intention of harming Hinata-sama," he explained, hoping to reassure her.
However, Hanabi's expression didn't relax; instead, it became more distrustful.
"I don't need any teacher other than my father! And why are you in my sister's room? I've heard that only couples can sleep in the same room!"
Thud!
Ryuji didn't know how to explain himself when a sudden sound of something falling interrupted them. They both turned their heads and saw Hinata on the floor, her face as red as a cherry. She hurriedly got up and ran to Hanabi, covering her mouth with one hand.
"Ryuji-kun, don't take it the wrong way. My sister is still very young and doesn't understand these things," Hinata said, clearly embarrassed.
Hanabi, still trying to break free, retorted, "I'm not that young! I understand perfectly! My uncle told me that only married people sleep together!"
Hinata's face turned even redder, and she no longer dared to look at Ryuji. She was so flustered that she didn't know how to get out of the situation.
Hinata's reaction made Ryuji feel even more uncomfortable. He was fully awake at that moment.
"It's already dawn. I should leave," Ryuji said, looking for a quick exit.
"Oh! Mr. Guy is in the storeroom with my father. I'll take you there!" Hinata hurriedly changed the subject, her eyes brightening at the opportunity.
"Sister, I can take him!" Hanabi tried to offer, but she noticed the look Hinata gave her, a look she had never seen before in her sister. It was a mix of firmness and authority that caused her slight fear.
"Alright. It's better if Hinata-sama takes Mr. Ryuji!" Hanabi finally said, somewhat dispirited.
[Ding dong! Hanabi's favorability has decreased by one point. Current favorability: 48 points. Notice.]
Ryuji sighed. "Why am I getting caught in the fights between these two sisters?" he thought as he walked alongside Hinata down the long hallway.
As they walked, Ryuji couldn't help but observe Hinata.
Hinata and Sakura were similar in some aspects. Both were driven by love, although they expressed it in different ways. Hinata hid it deeply, while Sakura showed it bravely.
As for which way was better, Ryuji wasn't sure. There didn't seem to be a definitive answer.
However, at that moment, Ryuji realized there was no time to think about such things. Before becoming strong enough to protect the person you love, you can't talk about love, Ryuji thought.
Otherwise, someone might throw a "Meteorite" at you, and at that moment, all you can do is wait for death helplessly. Instead of letting fate control you, it's better to be the one who controls fate.
The entire journey was silent. After walking for about five or six minutes, they finally arrived at the storeroom. There, Ryuji saw Guy with a proud smile on his face, while Hiashi looked pale as if he wanted to bite Guy to death.
"Master Hiashi, if you insist on giving it to me, I'll accept it without hesitation," said Guy, visibly excited.
"Take your things and get out!" Hiashi replied, irritated. Then he quickly added, "And if what happened yesterday gets out, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be!"
"Don't worry, my mouth is trustworthy," said Guy with a laugh. "But if your daughter or Ryuji talk about it, there's not much I can do about that."
Ryuji coughed awkwardly, not expecting such a "pot" to fall on him as soon as he arrived. They hadn't given him the slightest chance to explain the situation.
"Ryuji! Gan Ling Niang! You're just in time, come with me!" exclaimed Guy excitedly.
Ryuji stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. He hadn't expected the expression "Gan Ling Niang" to become so popular, and he couldn't help but fear that the entire village of Konoha would start using it as a greeting. But at that moment, he could only pretend he didn't know and let everything run its course.
"Master Guy!" Ryuji shouted, hurriedly following him.
They had barely taken a few steps when Hiashi called out, "Remember the two options I gave you, boy. You don't have to make a decision right away."
Ryuji felt puzzled. "Hiashi-sama is eager to give away his daughter, and Hinata is only twelve years old," he thought, almost in disbelief.
After leaving the Hyuga mansion, Ryuji followed Guy to the meeting point for the teams. Upon arrival, the members of Team 3 were already there, having arrived before them.
"Lee, look what I brought you!" Guy exclaimed, pulling out two huge weights and waving them in front of his disciple.
Rock Lee's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over. But instead of stopping with Guy, he brushed past him and ran straight to Ryuji, taking his hands with excitement.
"Ryuji-kun, you finally arrived! Teach me Kenjutsu! Please, teach me!" Lee begged, waving a wooden knife he had pulled out from somewhere.
Guy stood awkwardly, watching how his student ignored him. The fury inside him began to rise.
"Lee, stop wasting time and take off those weights! Put these on instead!" Guy ordered, tossing the weights he was holding to Lee.
Lee caught the weights, but it was as if a truck had hit him. He quickly staggered backward, leaving long marks on the ground as he tried to stop.
Ryuji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Guy training method was truly brutal. It was impressive that Lee could endure it.
"What are you looking at, Ryuji? Come and carry the weights that Lee left behind!" Guy commanded.
"What?! Me?! You want me to carry them?" Ryuji asked incredulously.
As he tried to figure out how to lift the weights, he saw Tenten approaching, her face slightly flushed and holding a bamboo basket.
"Ryuji-kun, you haven't had breakfast yet, so I brought you something," Tenten said shyly.
Ryuji smiled from ear to ear and quickly opened the lid of the basket. Inside, he saw a row of rice balls shaped like kunai.
"Tenten, you're so talented!" he exclaimed, surprised and grateful.
