"Be… being seen completely naked…", For some reason dragged over from the street by a few girls, Hinata only now finally understood what these girls were talking about.
'Kage-kun was forcibly taken by Terumi Mei to the Hidden Mist Village to get married? Is that what they are roughly saying?'
'But, Kage-kun also saw that big sister's body completely before...'
Very quickly thinking about how she had fainted in the hot spring before and was also seen completely naked by Uchiha Kage, Hinata's whole pretty face quickly turned crimson.
"Hinata, as a teammate of Kage-kun in Team 8, didn't you know anything about this before?", In order to get more information on this matter, Ino had thought of Hinata.
But she didn't expect that after dragging her over, she barely heard anything from this white-eyed girl.
"I-I don't know, but Miss Terumi Mei liking Kage-kun should be true...", Hinata recalled how Terumi Mei had been competing with Kurenai Yuhi for Uchiha Kage all the way.
And also back in the Hidden Mist Village... the scene where Uchiha Kage placed his hand on Terumi Mei's chest.
'Kage-kun really likes big breasts, huh.'
"Hmph, what like, I think she just acted on lust!", Tenten slapped the table, still holding a grudge about how Terumi Mei suddenly intruded and disrupted her date plan with Uchiha Kage.
"Aren't you the same...", Ino muttered softly, teasing Tenten.
"Anyway, we have to stop Kage-kun from going to the Hidden Mist Village with that Terumi Mei, right?", Sakura made a concluding statement.
"That's right..."
'Sakura too? Why is she so proactive?'
Ino secretly glanced at her best friend, then turned her gaze to Hinata, who had spoken little but had been blushing the whole time.
"Hinata, what do you think?"
"I… didn't Tenten say it too, that Kage-kun already rejected Miss Terumi Mei? There shouldn't… shouldn't be much to worry about, right?", Hinata didn't think Terumi Mei would be able to take Uchiha Kage away.
'Kage-kun has such a firm mind, there's no way he will be taken away by a woman from another village.'
'Besides, the person Kage-kun likes now should be Kurenai-sensei, right? After all, they've... kissed so many times...'
"Who knows if Lord Hokage will marry Kage off for the sake of the village, Hinata, you're too optimistic," In Ino's heart, Hinata was the only one who could compete with her. After all, the two of them had liked Kage from a very early time.
But in terms of personality, Ino didn't think Hinata could outcompete her.
Even so, Ino still recognized Hinata's value as someone close to Uchiha Kage.
At least better than Tenten, who tried to insert herself later on...
"R-Really? Lord Hokage would...", Hinata was a bit flustered by Ino's excitement.
"If we keep staying passive like this, it won't do. We have to strike a heavy blow against that kunoichi from the Hidden Mist, and break her scheme."
"But how? She's the future Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village..."
With such a high status, she was totally out of their league as ordinary girls.
Even Tenten couldn't help feeling a bit hopeless.
"Find a way to force her to leave Konoha?"
"How about just poisoning her, so she can never stand again."
"Or stick an explosive tag under her bed?"
The girls chimed in one after another, their words getting more and more extreme.
Hinata felt that if this continued, they might really end up in Konoha Prison.
"N-No need to go that far, why don't we just ask Kage-kun what to do...", As long as Uchiha Kage made it clear that he rejected her, then he definitely wouldn't be taken away.
Hinata felt Ino and the others were overcomplicating things.
"That's true. Even if we can't deal with that woman, we can hide Kage away," Ino suddenly came up with a terrible idea.
"Then hide him at my house."
"Hide him at mine, my house is bigger!"
"As if! Kage likes me the most, he'd definitely go to my house," Ino pressed Tenten down onto a chair.
'And Sakura, didn't you like Sasuke? What does this have to do with Kage?'
"Sigh, let's just go talk to Kage-kun. Otherwise..."
'Otherwise, they might really do something bad.'
Hinata quickly finished the dango on her plate, then quietly left the three girls who were still arguing non-stop after paying the bill.

"Edo Tensei? This kind of ninjutsu should be used for war," After receiving Orochimaru's reply, Danzo's expression finally looked a bit better.
But instead of using Edo Tensei to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi, or how Hiruzen might use Edo Tensei to force him out, Danzo suddenly thought this forbidden jutsu had even more useful applications.
'That is—war!'
"As expected, I'm the most suitable person to be Hokage!"
'Hmph...'
'All of them are only good at internal power struggles, only I, only Danzo, is wholeheartedly dedicated to Konoha!'
"Go contact Sai. This mission can only be done by him."
Most of Root's members were still detained in prison by Sarutobi Hiruzen, only the injured Sai in the hospital had escaped this fate.
And that made Sai, Danzo's last and most useful piece.
What Orochimaru wanted could only be obtained by someone still beside Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hiruzen, soon you'll feel what it's like when things spiral out of your control. When that time comes, even if you remember how good I was, I won't help you anymore," As long as he could get his house arrest lifted and return to Root, he would do whatever it took to bring down Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then Konoha would return to Danzo's loyal embrace!
———
"Is that so? Didn't expect even you all knew."
'Tenten's ears really are sharp...'
'Though, ears seems to be her sensitive point too.'
Uchiha Kage looked at the panting, white-eyed girl running toward him while recalling the feeling of bullying "NPC Tenten" in the dream space last night.
"Kage-kun won't accept this... right?", Hinata placed her hand over her heaving chest to calm her post-run heart, then looked at Uchiha Kage expectantly.
"I want to revive the Uchiha clan. Of course, I won't consider such things right now," After "reviving," then there's even less need to consider it.
Moreover...
Uchiha Kage thought that relations between Konoha and the Hidden Mist would probably change soon, and Terumi Mei might really become an enemy in the future.
By then, whether she'd still want to marry him was unknown.
"Mm! Then... they should feel relieved too. I'll tell them properly, and won't trouble Kage-kun," Receiving the answer she wanted, Hinata smiled in relief.
'But, revive the Uchiha clan...'
'Did Kage-kun actually listen to what Kurenai-sensei said back then?'
'Having children and all that. After a few more years, I should be ready... Wonder if Kage-kun would want me then...'
Thinking of Kage-kun's words about "reviving the clan," Hinata couldn't help but let her thoughts wander, blushing as she imagined herself bearing children for him.
"Hinata, let's play a game, shall we?"
'What a blushy girl.'
Looking at the flushed white-eyed girl, Uchiha Kage thought since she came to him willingly, it would be such a waste not to make good use of it.
"P-Play... w-what game?"
Under Kage's gaze, Hinata instantly lowered her head, her rosy cheeks becoming even redder.
Like a fine porcelain doll bathed in sunset.
"Follow me first."
Glancing at the passersby on the street, Uchiha Kage decided to find a deserted place to play the game with the girl.
"Mm...", Hinata would naturally never doubt Uchiha Kage, and even less likely to say the word "no."
However, as the number of people around them decreased, and they reached a completely deserted alleyway, Hinata finally raised her head slightly and looked at the boy before her, her face redder than ever.
'Kage-kun brought me to this kind of place... What does he want to do?'
'Could it be like what's written in those books... No, Kage-kun doesn't seem to like me that much, probably not...'
"Alright, here's good," Uchiha Kage used his Byakugan to scan the surroundings and, confirming no one was nearby, took out a black cloth from his pocket and handed it to the white-eyed girl before him.
"Cover your eyes with this now. Remember not to use Byakugan to peek... I'll take you somewhere in a bit."
"Okay..."
'This development… feels way too much like a scene from those books…'
Hinata looked at Kage's outstretched hand, took the black cloth, and covered her beautiful eyes with it, becoming even more sensitive.
Both mentally and physically.
"Hinata, you're so obedient. Aren't you afraid I'll do something bad to you?"
"N-No, Kage-kun's not that kind of person..."
'And even if...'
'If Kage-kun really wants to do something bad to me, will I agree, submit, or not resist?'
Hinata closed her eyes behind the cloth, and her blushing face quickly turned into a steaming engine due to her brain overworking.
"Then let's start with holding hands," Uchiha Kage reached for the white-eyed girl's hand beneath the blindfold.
And successfully grabbed the delicate, soft little hand of the girl trembling before him.
"Ah..."
