"I'm sorry, sister. I really wanted to help you with filming, but I have a mission to complete today, so I'm sorry..."
Hyuga Hanabi clasped her hands together as she spoke to Hyuga Hinata. Then she gathered her things and left the house. She really wanted to watch her sister act, but lately, life in Konoha has become busier, and many Konoha Ninja have taken up new missions. She had no choice.
"Hanabi... alright then, be safe on your mission."
Hyuga Hinata understood the situation. Her gentle nature prevented her from saying, "You promised, so you should be responsible," and forced her to give up the idea of having Hanabi accompany her to the film set.
But today was another filming day. This time, Hyuga Hinata had reviewed the script, and today's scenes might be more extreme than the last. Hyuga Hinata felt a bit anxious.
The deep kiss last time had already kept her awake at night, and the sense of betrayal towards Naruto in her heart made her very uncomfortable. If today's shoot involved even more excessive scenes, she... Hyuga Hinata clenched her pale fingers, torn and unsure of what to do.
However, Hyuga Hinata didn't quite dare to back down from the role because she saw the enthusiasm of many people in the crew, all eager to make the drama achieve better success. If she were to quit, it would mean letting down so many expectations...
Gentle Hyuga Hinata couldn't bear the thought of facing so many disappointed faces.
Before she knew it, Hyuga Hinata had arrived at the filming set, and the staff nearby bowed and greeted her upon seeing the lead actress.
"Lady Hinata, you're here!"
"Lady Hinata, thank you for your hard work today, please keep it up..."
"Hmm... you've worked hard too..."
Hyuga Hinata could only respond this way, then slightly lowered her head and quickly walked inside.
Once inside, a makeup artist pulled her aside, touching up her look to further highlight the mature charm of a married woman.
Hyuga Hinata received many compliments from the makeup artist, who said she was the most elegant lady they had ever seen; the occasional display of vulnerability and the flash of determination in her eyes formed a stark contrast in Hyuga Hinata's demeanor.
Once everything was ready, Director Wada called Hyuga Hinata over, informing her to prepare for filming.
The first two scenes were simple, and this character was designed based on Hyuga Hinata's own personality and experiences. Hyuga Hinata merely needed to rehearse her lines to achieve a strong performance of ninety-five percent.
Once the first two scenes were done, Director Wada called "cut" and began to clear the set.
Seizing the moment while others were leaving, Hyuga Hinata hurried to Uchiha Yoichi's side, lightly tugging on his sleeve. When Uchiha Yoichi turned to look at her, she nervously said, "Mr. Yoichi, um... could we avoid making the scene like last time?"
"Last time?"
"I mean, not, not the head touch or anything like that, it was too intimate..." Hyuga Hinata stammered with a flushed face, feeling it too shameful to talk about such matters with another man, despite being married.
"I'm married, Mr. Yoichi, it's not appropriate..."
"Hmm? Lady Hinata, are you misunderstanding something? We're just acting; we're not really in a relationship... besides, I have someone I like too."
Uchiha Yoichi sighed, shrugged, and said to Hyuga Hinata, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can talk to the director about it, but I can't guarantee he'll agree. If Director Wada doesn't agree, then Lady Hinata, you might have to abandon the role..."
"Eh?"
Hyuga Hinata was stunned and before she could respond, Uchiha Yoichi had already walked away towards Director Wada.
Soon after, Hyuga Hinata saw Uchiha Yoichi speaking with Director Wada, pointing in her direction. Then Director Wada approached her.
"Ms. Hinata, I heard from Mr. Yoichi that you're finding it hard to accept parts of the script... I understand this storyline might be a bit much for someone new like Ms. Hinata, but such scenes are quite common in the film industry. Please, Ms. Hinata, hang in there a little longer,"
Director Wada said sincerely, bowing slightly after speaking. "Ms. Hinata, I'm aiming to make this drama the top in the Ninja World, so please hang in there a bit longer. If it really feels too embarrassing or hard to accept.... during the shoot, we can step out, the cameraman and I, as long as the filming continues!"
Hearing this, Hyuga Hinata asked in surprise, "Eh? Director Wada, you mean you and the cameraman... would both step out? Then how would it be filmed?"
"We just need to get the camera rolling and adjust the angles in advance. The cameraman and I can step out, but Ms. Hinata and Mr. Yoichi would need to stay...
Or, I could have the cameraman teach Mr. Yoichi how to operate it; if Ms. Hinata is really feeling shy, I am willing to go this far, as long as we get this drama filmed well!"
Wada Kazunari's face showed firm resolve, as if he would do whatever it takes for the drama.
In this emotional atmosphere, Hyuga Hinata felt herself yielding a bit. She kept pinching her pale fingers, and after a moment of silence, said, "Well, alright then, Director Wada... I'll bear with it for a bit."
"Great, Ms. Hinata..."
Director Wada showed a relief-filled smile, and in the distance, Uchiha Yoichi also heard Hyuga Hinata's words, a slight smile flickered on his averted face.
Soon, the set was ready for the scene, which involved Uchiha Yoichi and Hyuga Hinata losing control in the bedroom, while Hyuga Hinata felt guilty towards her husband but couldn't resist Uchiha Yoichi's affection, leading to a passionate moment between them.
This was the scene for the day, and after Uchiha Yoichi pretended to learn how to use the camera, the others stepped out of the room.
"Ms. Hinata, we'll start shooting in ten seconds, get ready."
Uchiha Yoichi reminded, then pretended to set, and immediately came to Hyuga Hinata's side, whispering: "Eight seconds left, seven seconds, six seconds..."
Hyuga Hinata's heart was also tense, and when the time passed, she panicked and forgot her lines... But there weren't many lines anyway.
"Lady, sorry, I still can't help but like you..."
Uchiha Yoichi stepped forward and directly embraced Hyuga Hinata, then kissed her fresh and tempting lips and face.
'Eh.. eh.?'
Hyuga Hinata was a bit dazed now, she knew she should utter her lines, but she forgot them all... Especially since she felt her mouth was blocked, with the breath of a stranger coming to her, making her breathless.
"Mmm...."
"Lady Hinata, you should resist me now...."
Uchiha Yoichi leaned to Hyuga Hinata's ear and reminded softly, and couldn't help but kiss her cute earlobe, making Hyuga Hinata shiver, and her soft white hands instinctively pushed.
"No, no, not like this..."
Hyuga Hinata blushed while pushing, speaking her true feelings, which happen to match her lines.
Feeling the force of the push, Uchiha Yoichi dragged Hyuga Hinata's back and laid her on the bed before pressing on.
Then whispered in her ear: "Too forceful, Lady Hinata, now we are filming, you should follow the script..."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hinata felt some shame, as Uchiha Yoichi was trying hard to keep filming, while she repeatedly made mistakes out of shyness....
Hyuga Hinata then tried to get into the filming state, closed her eyes, and offered a kiss to Uchiha Yoichi.
At this moment, Hyuga Hinata's clothes were somewhat disordered.
Uchiha Yoichi tasted Lady Hinata's fragrance.
A hand silently moved down slowly....

"No, not there!"
Hyuga Hinata suddenly awoke, instinctively used Chakra to strongly push Uchiha Yoichi off, then with a face of shy anger, she said: "Mr. Yoichi, how can you touch such a place!? Too much!"
While scolding, Hyuga Hinata hurriedly tidied her dress, but was too embarrassed to arrange the white panties beneath in front of Uchiha Yoichi.
Moreover, Hyuga Hinata saw Uchiha Yoichi was also exposed there, instantly turned her head shyly to the side, saying hesitantly: "You, you better put on your clothes quickly... too much, Mr. Yoichi... really too much...."
The feeling of such touch, if she hadn't suddenly thought of Naruto, she might have made a big mistake?
Hyuga Hinata thought she hadn't paid attention earlier, and complained inwardly about herself, she also was at fault, nearly betraying her family and Mr. Naruto....
"Sorry, Lady Hinata, I was impulsive just now, but I think it better reflects the character's traits... but it was my fault this time."
Uchiha Yoichi apologized after dressing, but felt a bit regretful, just a little more and he would have gone further...
'Since Lady Hinata has Chakra, maybe next time use some colorless, odorless potion to disable Chakra, then it will naturally....'
This thought flashed in Uchiha Yoichi's mind, but he soon discarded it, now wasn't the time to talk about those.
"The filming is almost done, Lady Hinata, shall we let the director in to review?"
Upon hearing it, Hyuga Hinata felt some panic, does this mean letting the director see how she was just now..... but before she spoke, Uchiha Yoichi continued: "The last part was probably not filmed, the camera timer has stopped, shall we check first?"
"Then, okay..."
With a face still slightly red from embarrassment, Hyuga Hinata said, if it did record, she must destroy it regardless.
Later they checked, not much was filmed indeed, different angles only showed kissing and hugging scenes; but Hyuga Hinata also noticed Uchiha Yoichi's hand being naughty, wandering over her body.
"Mr. Yoichi..."
Hyuga Hinata angrily said to Uchiha Yoichi but after calling his name didn't know what to say, couldn't shamelessly tell him not to touch her next time.
The warning failed to be spoken, Uchiha Yoichi called Director Wada in to see the filming results, but during the call, he used some 'Mind Control'.
"Great, filmed wonderfully, Ms. Hinata, I knew you could do it!"
