Hinata felt extremely shy. Letting this older brother see her in such a state was truly a bit embarrassing.
However, the feeling of having her hand held was just like back when she was being chased—it made her feel safe and secure.
Ryōsuke took Hinata straight to the center of the village for a stroll. For a young lady of her status, time spent walking the streets felt exceedingly rare.
That guy, Hyūga Hiashi, definitely made Hinata train constantly.
Actually, Hyūga Hiashi couldn't really be blamed. Hinata was, after all, the heir to the main branch of the Hyūga Clan. Strict demands were a given; otherwise, how could she bear the heavy responsibility of the clan in the future?
And Hinata's personality truly wasn't suited for being the head of the household.
This was another clan's business, and Ryōsuke had no intention of interfering.
He only needed to focus on taking Hinata out to have fun.
At this moment, Hinata felt a sense of relief in her heart. If she hadn't come out for a walk, her father definitely would have been strictly lecturing her.
In truth, she didn't like rigorous training.
When she was little, she could still come out and wander around, but as she grew older, her father's demands on her became increasingly strict. Aside from the time she spent at the Academy, almost all of her time was spent training at home, and her younger sister, Hanabi, participated in the training as well.
As they passed by Ichiraku Ramen on their way, Ryōsuke's interest was piqued.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat some ramen."
Although he had already eaten lunch, walking such a long distance had naturally helped him digest it.
With his appetite, eating a few more bowls of ramen was a simple task.
With his current constitution, he wouldn't gain weight no matter how much he ate. Perhaps this was one of his special physical abilities.
"Okay," Hinata agreed immediately.
Hinata had eaten the ramen here a few times, and the taste was exceptionally good.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen, Ryōsuke ordered one large bowl and one small bowl from the boss.
It had been a long time since he last had ramen, so he had to get a massive bowl with all sorts of toppings added in.
As for Hinata, considering she was still young, he got her a small bowl.
It wasn't long before Teuchi brought over two steaming bowls of ramen.
Ryōsuke, naturally, finished eating very quickly.
It was still that familiar taste; he felt incredibly satisfied after finishing it.
This was the perfect opportunity to bring some back for those newcomers to try.
Konan, Haku, Fū, and Kurotsuchi.
With this thought in mind, he looked at Teuchi.
"Boss, give me another large portion, and three small ones. Pack them up for me to take home."
Teuchi happily agreed.
"Lord Ryōsuke, today's ramen is on the house."
Ryōsuke looked at the boss.
"I couldn't possibly. Let me pay for it."
He had money, and not paying wasn't his habit.
Teuchi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "This is just a small token of my gratitude."
"It's because of you, Lord Ryōsuke, that the shop's business is so good."
"You've made the Leaf Village more stable. Everyone's income has increased, so naturally, they have spare money to eat ramen."
"Lord Ryōsuke has been coming here to eat ramen for a long time, which has encouraged even more people to come eat."
Compared to the highly respected Lady Tsunade, Ryōsuke was actually the true pillar of stability for the Leaf Village.
In the past, people thought the Uchiha Clan would disrupt the Leaf Village, but that wasn't the case at all.
The facts proved it. Now, the Uchiha Clan wasn't a threat to the village; rather, they had significantly improved the village's security.
"Alright, just this once. But I'll have to pay next time."
Since the man was being so passionate, Ryōsuke couldn't easily refuse. He felt that if he didn't pay every time, he'd be too embarrassed to come eat here. It was better to pay.
"Understood."
Teuchi sensed Lord Ryōsuke's thoughts; he wasn't the type of person who liked to freeload.
If he kept insisting, it might actually make the other party unhappy, which would defeat the purpose of showing his gratitude.
He then turned around to prepare Ryōsuke's takeout ramen.
Ryōsuke looked at Hinata, who was still eating her ramen. She took very small, slow bites. One glance was enough to tell she wasn't someone with a large appetite.
Right now, her chest was still flat, but in a few years, she would develop rapidly and grow into a very impressive figure.
In terms of explosive growth, she would even surpass Tsunade at the same age. That was a remarkable talent.
It seemed that in the future, all the meat she ate would go exactly where it needed to grow.
Hinata noticed Ryōsuke's gaze and asked with a bit of concern, "Lord Ryōsuke, am I eating too slowly?"
Ryōsuke waved his hand.
"It's fine. Eating slower is healthier for your body. Don't worry about it."
Only then did Hinata eat with peace of mind. She naturally had a rather small appetite anyway.
If Lord Ryōsuke said it was fine, then it was naturally fine.
After the two finished eating, Ryōsuke walked out of the ramen shop carrying the four portions of takeout ramen.
If he walked back slowly, the ramen would probably get cold, and he also had to escort Hinata back.
*It seems I have no choice but to use that jutsu.*
"Hinata, come with me."
Hinata immediately followed, and the two arrived at a deserted corner.
Ryōsuke looked at Hinata.
"I'll show you something amazing."
Hinata looked forward to it with a bit of anticipation.
She then saw Lord Ryōsuke narrow his eyes, activating an incredible dōjutsu that didn't seem to be the Sharingan.
She was a little confused.
But suddenly, a portal appeared in front of them. Through this portal, she could see the reception room of the Hyūga Clan compound.
Hinata felt a sudden surge of endless wonder in her heart.
"Big Brother Ryōsuke, what is this?"
"This is my ability. You have to remember to keep it a secret for me."
Ryōsuke was able to pinpoint the exact location they were just at.
Such a long distance was completely covered by the Rinnegan, not to mention the added sensory perception of his body. The overlapping range of the two was highly impressive.
Hinata suddenly felt excited.
"Okay, I will keep it a secret."
Since Lord Ryōsuke trusted her, she wouldn't even leak it to her father.
Only after Ryōsuke finished setting all this up did he let Hinata step through the portal.
And even after returning home through the portal, Hinata still felt endlessly amazed.
This was indeed the Hyūga Clan's reception room. Big Brother Ryōsuke's abilities were truly powerful.
