Chapter 49: Hinata, You're Acting Strange

"Boss! Two more plates of meat!"

"Boss, hurry up, I'm still a bit hungry!"

"Hinata, you eat too! Today, Mr. Mizuki is treating us to celebrate his engagement to Ms. Tsubaki. Cheer up and eat!"

As a descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, Hinata, the one called "Byakugan Princess" by Otsutsuki Toneri, is quite talented. At least when it comes to eating, she truly lives up to the name of someone who can eat with a large wooden bucket.

Ino found that her appetite had also increased significantly, especially when she remembered that someone else was paying. She ate even more happily.

After Hinata hesitantly joined the ranks of the hungry eaters, the speed at which the barbecue disappeared noticeably accelerated.

The owner of "Yakiniku Q" saw the impressive achievements of their table, and he became excited.

He brandished a large knife in the back room: "Yakiniku Q has never had a history of letting customers go hungry! Never! Everyone, get your spirits up! Move faster! Today's guests are quite picky, give me bigger plates!"

Looking at the empty plates piling up, the smile on Mizuki's face could no longer be maintained.

Damn it! Do you guys not eat at home?!

He did have a plan to defect from the village, but not because of debt! That would be too embarrassing to say!

He secretly checked his wallet several times, calculating how much this meal would cost.

Ino had already figured it out. Her ten years of watching Conan weren't for nothing. This Mizuki guy must be trying to create an alibi.

She had no intention of exposing him, and just kept her head down and ate fiercely.

Mizuki started by checking his wallet, then he started checking the time. He still had things to do! Who knew these guys would eat endlessly.

He was anxious, his eyes constantly wandering over their faces. As long as one person said they were full, he would pay the bill as quickly as possible, and then go to deal with the matters at the Ninja Academy. But he waited and waited...

Even Shikamaru, who had the smallest appetite, was eating fiercely. Akamaru, Inuzuka Kiba's ninken, had already gained two rounds of weight and was still eating.

The meal lasted a full two hours. Whether the "host" was happy or not was unknown, but the "guests" were very happy.

Ino and the others were satisfied. Even Hinata, who was still maintaining her ladylike demeanor, was secretly rubbing her belly. This clearly showed she was full.

Mizuki paid the bill with extreme embarrassment. These kids could really eat! Especially that girl named Hinata, why could she eat so much? This meal had eaten up all his savings and even put him in debt!

He wanted to quickly settle things here and go to the other side to make arrangements, but the barbecue restaurant owner refused to let him go.

After swearing and making promises, the owner finally agreed to let him pay on credit, considering that he was a Chunin and a teacher at the Ninja Academy.

Mizuki sighed heavily. He had completely made up his mind: defect! Leave tonight!

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Mizuki didn't want to involve his fiancée in the next matter. He hadn't asked for Tsubaki's money before, and now he didn't want to involve her in his affairs. He made an excuse and let his fiancée leave first.

Then, after identifying the direction, he followed Hinata from a distance.

His target was never Ino.

The power of the Ino-Shika-Cho three-family alliance was too strong. Konoha often turned a blind eye to missing-nin and wouldn't send people to hunt them down. But the Ino-Shika-Cho might be different. If he really provoked the three-family alliance, they had enough power to dispatch a pursuit team directly without going through the village.

The Yamanaka family's name had a lot of deterrent power in the gray areas.

Every member of the Inuzuka family raised dogs, and their tracking ability was simply无敌. If he dared to attack them, these dog breeders could catch up to him in one night.

The Aburame clan? Who were they?

Mizuki found that his first-stage target was likely exposed because he had delayed for too long. If he went there now, he would be throwing himself into a trap.

He immediately activated his backup plan. His target was Hinata Hyuga, who looked weak but had the greatest actual value.

He watched Hinata and Ino separate, watched Hinata walk through the night market, watched Hinata approach a slightly dark alley, and he immediately chased after her.

"Hinata! Wait! Wait for me..." he shouted breathlessly.

"Mr. Mizuki?" Hinata was puzzled, not knowing why the teacher who had just left chased after her again.

"Listen to me, Naruto! Naruto is a good boy. A Shadow Clone Jutsu exam is nothing, but I'm worried that this child will do something extreme. You are his good friend, come with me and persuade him."

Mizuki's words were reasonable. Hinata seemed panicked and subconsciously nodded, following Mizuki onto another path.

They first went to Naruto's house, which was naturally empty at this time. Then Hinata said that Naruto often went to a forest in the back mountain, and they hurried to the back mountain.

Naruto usually came to the back mountain alone to train. Tonight, it was quiet, not even a ghost was there.

He had estimated this at the barbecue restaurant, but now seeing his plan fail with his own eyes, Mizuki still cursed inwardly.

Those guys could really eat! After eating, it took some time to negotiate credit with the barbecue restaurant owner. All in all, he arrived at the back mountain a full hour later than expected.

Damn it!

He forced himself to calm down.

After tonight, he would definitely be exposed, but because he accompanied those gluttons to eat barbecue tonight, he had a sufficient alibi. His suspicion wasn't that great at this time. He still had a little time to activate his backup plan.

For example... He looked at the timid Hinata from the corner of his eye.

This was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family. The Byakugan was one of the best kekkei genkai in the entire ninja world. Once he gave this pair of Byakugan to that lord, he would definitely be rewarded, right?

Compared to the Scroll of Seals, maybe that lord would prefer the Byakugan?

He applauded his own foresight. He was so smart.

He suddenly punched a tree trunk hard. After attracting Hinata's attention, he said anxiously: "Damn it! Naruto, that idiot, if he can't learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu tonight, he won't even have a chance to retake the exam tomorrow."

Hinata, as he expected, looked at a loss: "Then what should we do? What should we do? Naruto... Mr. Mizuki, you must help Naruto!"

Mizuki frowned and thought for a long time: "Actually, Naruto's weakness is his weak chakra control. As long as he makes up for this shortcoming, it will be very easy to pass the graduation exam."

"Then, Mr. Mizuki, how can we help Naruto improve his chakra control?"

Mizuki hesitated and said: "I know a secret recipe that might work, but I need to buy several precious medicinal herbs, and I don't have enough money right now..."

Before he finished speaking, Hinata's voice suddenly rose two pitches: "What?! You dare ask me for money! You fucking..."

Mizuki: "???"
