Aoba was pulled by little Hanabi and darted out of the Hokage building at top speed, not even taking the stairs.
With his strength, there was no way he could actually be dragged along like this by Hanabi, who hadn't even graduated yet.
At first, he thought this little girl had come up with some kind of mischievous idea again, so he went along with it.
But then she pulled him straight out of the window. With how urgent she looked, it didn't seem like she was acting.
Looking at it this way, something might really have happened.
Still midair, Aoba directly pulled Hanabi's small body into his arms.
"Aoba-nii?", Being suddenly hugged startled Hanabi a little.
"Running there is too slow. I'll take you back directly," Aoba patted her little head.
"Okay."
Hanabi skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck in return.
If it were any other time, this girl would definitely be full of little antics.
The next moment, the two of them vanished from where they were and reappeared at the Hyuga clan's compound.
———
[Inside the Clan Head's Residence, in Hinata's Room]
But at this moment, Hinata wasn't the only one in the room. Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako were also there, both wearing anxious expressions.
Hinata was lying on the tatami, covered with a blanket, and her eyes were wrapped with a black silk ribbon.
"Hinata?"
"Aoba?"
When Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako saw Aoba arrive, joy immediately appeared on their faces.
When Hinata woke up this morning, something suddenly went wrong with her eyes.
And it was a situation the Hyuga clan had never encountered before.
They had already had the clan's medical ninja take a look earlier, but none of them knew what was going on, let alone how to fix it.
It made them extremely worried.
After realizing the clan's ninja were useless, Hanabi had immediately run out to find Aoba.
Now that he was here, as Konoha's top medical ninja, he was definitely stronger than the Hyuga clan's own medical ninja.
"Aoba-kun?"
At this moment, with her eyes covered by a black cloth and unable to see anything, Hinata also heard Aoba's voice.
A small hand stretched out from under the blanket, as if searching for something.
Aoba quickly put Hanabi down, sat beside her, and held that small hand that looked a bit helpless at the moment.
"Hinata, I'm here."
A smile immediately appeared on Hinata's face, but it quickly faded again.
"Sorry, Aoba-kun. Today was supposed to be such an important day…"
"Don't say things like that."
Aoba squeezed her little hand and interrupted her, "Tell me about your condition first."
In fact, the moment he held Hinata's hand, he had already begun using chakra to examine her body.
But her body was very healthy. In fact, because of that unusual appetite, it was almost too healthy.
The chakra in her body was as abundant as ever. The only abnormality was that the chakra around her eyes seemed a bit disordered.
This kind of situation wouldn't cause any harm to the body, but it would make it hard to control the activation and deactivation of the Byakugan.
Normally, this kind of thing only happened when members of the Hyuga clan were still very young and couldn't control their Byakugan yet.
Just like when Hinata was little, when her emotions got excited, her Byakugan would activate uncontrollably.
But at her current stage, for this to happen again left the Hyuga clan's medical ninja completely clueless.
However, Aoba already had a vague guess.
"I… I'm not very sure either. When I woke up this morning, my Byakugan suddenly became hard to control. My eyes hurt a lot, and then I couldn't see anything…"
Even though Hinata's tone was restrained as she explained, from the way her hand suddenly tightened, Aoba could feel how nervous she was.
After all, suddenly losing sight would make anyone afraid.
Not to mention Hinata, as a member of the Hyuga clan.
If she lost her eyes, it could be said she would directly lose her future.
The fact that she was only gripping his hand like this already showed how strong she was.
Feeling a pang of concern, he gently rubbed her hair, "Alright, I roughly know what's going on. Leave the rest to me."
"Mm, I believe in you, Aoba-kun."
Hinata nodded seriously. Her fair and delicate face was full of trust in Aoba.
Her tightly clenched hand also relaxed quite a bit.
"Aoba, Hinata's condition right now… she should be okay, right?"
After hearing Aoba's words, Hyuga Ayako was the first to speak, unable to hold back.
Beside her, although Hyuga Hiashi didn't say anything, his fists were tightly clenched, clearly showing his uneasy state.
And the two small hands on his arm were almost pinching him hard enough to hurt.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ayako. Hinata's body isn't in any serious danger."
Aoba reassured her, then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Hinata probably hasn't eaten anything since she woke up this morning, right?"
"Huh?"
Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako both froze for a moment.
"Aunt Ayako, Uncle Hiashi, could you go prepare some breakfast? So that after I finish the treatment, Hinata won't be hungry," Aoba continued.
The two of them quickly caught the implication in his words. Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hinata, who was clearly no longer as tense, then nodded and pulled the still somewhat worried Hyuga Ayako toward the door.
"We understand. Then we'll leave Hinata to you, Aoba… hm? Hanabi?"
It was only when Hyuga Hiashi was about to reach the door that he noticed Hanabi was still standing there, holding onto Aoba's sleeve.
"Aoba-nii, can't I stay too?"
Hanabi ignored her father and instead looked at Aoba with pleading eyes.
Aoba didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then you can stay. But you have to let go of me first."
"Okay."
Hanabi immediately let go, then sat down obediently.
With no other choice, Hyuga Hiashi and the others stepped out of the room and closed the door.
Now only three people remained in the room.
Aoba gently patted Hinata's hand, signaling her to relax.
"Aoba-kun, is there anything I need to do?"
Hinata quietly withdrew her hand and asked.
"No need. Hinata, you just need to open your mouth," Aoba said with a smile, teasing her a little.
"Ah?"
Hinata slightly opened her small mouth, a bit confused.
Seizing this moment, Aoba cut open his wrist and pressed it against her mouth.
"Mmph!"
Although there were other methods, like something along the lines of "one drop equals ten drops of blood," which would probably work even better, with Hanabi here, this was more convenient.
Even though Aoba himself had almost forgotten, he did indeed possess Otsutsuki chakra.
However, this method would probably only relieve things temporarily. After all, the chakra in his blood was a bit mixed.
To completely solve Hinata's eye problem, he would still need to go to the moon and refine that larger one.
