Chapter 276: Just Call Me Uncle
Because they were separated while watching the event, Aoyagi took Hinata directly to the vicinity of the main street.
If that Natsu had a brain, after searching unsuccessfully, she would have returned to this neighborhood to ask the people around.
So come back here, there was a certain probability to find each other.
But since Hinata couldn't remember exactly where they got separated, Aoba had to take her all the way there to try her luck.
If he couldn't help her, he had to send Hinata home. At least he knew where the front door of the Hyuga house was.
In the middle of passing a pharmacy, Aoba also took Hinata inside to get some medicine. Although the knee scrape was not serious, just a little skin, but in case it leaves a scar, it was not good.
Hinata was also his future sister-in-law, so he should take care of a little more.
This also let Aoba knew that the future of the resilient Hinata had already begun to emerge when she was young.
So he did not force, and respond to the request for help called kindness, regardless of whether the situation is!
So, the two walked all the way down the main street, and finally saw in front of a small store on the street, Natsu that Hinata said.
Only at this time Natsu was looking bad, sitting on the ground, covering her head in the knees.
"Sister Natsu..."
Hinata immediately called out, and then as the swallow returned to the nest, she moved her short legs and ran over, even the pain in her legs were forgotten.
However, the heartbreak and self-condemnation of Hyuga Natsu, suddenly replaced with the joy upon hearing the voice of Hinata. She immediately raised her head, and then hugged Hinata with tears of joy.
Aoba did not participate in it, but stood still, smiling at the two of them whispering something there.
Soon, Hyuga Natsu, who had wiped away her tears, came over with little Hinata.
"Sorry to trouble you. I am Miss Hinata's servant, Hyuga Natsu. Thank you very much for protecting Miss Hinata, otherwise I really don't know what to do. I will certainly report your kindness to the head of the family as it is..."
"No need, Hinata told me everything that happened, the fault is not yours and Hinata does not want you to be punished. So just pretend that nothing has happened."
Aoba directly shook his head to interrupt the other side.
Although it would be possible to make good relations with the Hyuga Clan and make the other party his helper to help him sit in the position of Hokage.
But to be honest, the Hyuga Clan could play a much smaller role in this matter than imagined.
And he did not bother to use Hinata to achieve this purpose.
Besides, even if the Hyuga Clan knew about such a small matter, how would they take it to heart.
Natsu was very grateful to Aoba, especially after hearing the other party said so, she had more good feelings, and also thought that she had not followed the wrong person, Miss Hinata would actually think so much of her.
However, her heart was bitter, because after getting separated from Hinata, she went back to Hyuga's house halfway in addition to looking around.
It was a pity that she still could not find Hinata, so with concern, she could only find the head of the family and explain the situation truthfully, so that the head of the family could send someone to search together.
If she hid it, in case something really happened to Hinata, then she really could not be blamed for death!
So even though we have now recovered Hinata, this matter couldn't be concealed, and when they return, she would certainly be punished, and may never be able to serve Hinata again.
But these words she buried in the bottom of her heart, did not say out.
After forcing a smile, she said, "No matter what, the Hyuga Clan will remember this kindness. I must now take Miss Hinata back as soon as possible."
Aoba also knew that these big families have a lot of trouble, especially the Hyuga Clan, which could also make the distinction between the clan and the branch family, so he guessed that the other side would not have a good time when they returned, but naturally he, an outsider, could not intervene in such matters.
So he nodded and watched a small and a large gradually go away.
In the walk, Hinata also looked back especially, as if to remember him.
Innocent and cute, very cute...
For this small incident, Aoba did not put in mind, just step by step to build up strength.
But to his surprise, early the next morning, the Hyuga Clan actually sent an invitation, saying to the effect that in order to thank him for saving Hinata, he was invited to come home for a casual meal.
What is this?
An unsolicited solicitation?
Aoba couldn't understand this operation, the whole invitation seemed to be filled with two words, excuse!
He did not believe that the Hyuga Clan would send such a serious invitation to invite him as a guest because of this small matter, there must be something else.
But guessing is guessing, he also had no reason to refuse.
At least he had to go to a meeting to hear what the Hyuga Clan was up to.
So after a day of training, he went home early, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and came to the Hyuga Clan.
.....
"Aoba-sama, please come this way, the family head has been waiting for a long time."
In the Hyuga Clan servants led, Aoba toured the Hyuga Clan mansion. All the way he was wondering what the purpose of the Hyuga Clan to invite him over for a meeting was.
He was a small ninja, how could he get the honorific 'sama', so it was hard for him not to wonder if it was someone who had explained in advance.
In addition, today was a big day for Konoha to invite the Komugakure, basically all the clans went to the banquet, how could the head of the Hyuga Clan give up the opportunity to show up in such a big occasion, instead of waiting for him at home, a lowly ninja?
It was a great thought!
To be honest, Aoba already regretted coming here.
"Please come in."
Aoba took a deep breath, came here, let him see what the other side really want.
Opening the door, Aoba walked straight in and found a large room with just one table filled with delicacies and the Hyuga Clan head who was really waiting for him.
"Shinomiya Aoba of Konoha, greeting Hiashi-sama."
When Aoba spoke, he even bit heavier on the word sama, as if he was reminding the other party, while observing the other party's reaction.
But Hyuga Hiashi just smiled a little, and then like an elder, he said gently and without losing his authority, "Take your seat, no need to think too much, the Hyuga Clan is always clear about grudges and grievances, all those things you have done, I have heard from Hinata."
"So today I just want to thank you, as a father, for protecting my daughter."
"And don't be too much to call me anything like Hiashi-sama again, just call me uncle."
