"What?"

"Naruto is here?"

"where?"

Sakura and Ino looked up and looked around blankly, but found nothing.

Not only them, but even Sasuke subconsciously looked around, but he didn't find the Naruto mentioned by Hinata. Instead, he saw Akira Hanami with a strange expression and Naruko with a "saw a ghost" expression on her face.

So, what is going on?!

"Ahem, I think Hinata saw it wrong."

Seeing that "Naruko"'s expression was about to collapse to the point of exposing herself, Hanami Akira quickly made amends.

"Naruko's hair color and eye color do look familiar, don't they? After all, even Sasuke can make mistakes by accident."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"I was shocked...Ah! Ming, Mingjun?!"

"..."

Only then did Sakura and Ino scream in surprise when they saw Hanami Akira.

They had thought about looking for Hanami Ming before, but they had to give up because the flow of people was so heavy. After finding nothing, they decided to come here to turn their grief and anger into appetite.

But I didn't expect that there will be another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. It's a coincidence.

Attracted by Hanami Akira's appearance, the two of them no longer cared about the previous episode, not even Sasuke.

In his opinion, even he, an Uchiha, would have bad eyesight and accidentally mistake Naruko for "Naruto", so it was normal for Hinata to also make this small mistake.

The only ones who know the truth are probably Naruto who has a guilty conscience, Akira Hanami who knows everything well, and Hinata who seems taciturn and shy, but also sees through everything.

As Naruto's number one secret admirer, Hinata has been paying attention to Naruto for many years. This attention started long before entering the ninja school.

Everything about Naruto, including his height, weight, tone of voice, even the shape of his fingers, the curvature of his chin, the shape of his ears... all of these are so familiar.

Just because others can't see the details doesn't mean Hinata can't see them.

Not to mention, in order to better pay attention to her sweetheart, Hinata mastered the Byakugan in advance, just to be able to stay at a distance...

Well, this is probably the reason why the current head of the Hyuga family, although not so satisfied with Hinata's character, still hasn't given up!

Although the Hyuga family's Byakugan basically masters chakra, everyone can awaken it, but not many people like Hinata can master it independently at such a young age.

Today's Hinata Hanabi is a newly born little dumpling. She is still unsteady when walking, so naturally she will not threaten Hinata's status.

In other words, in the eyes of the head of the Hyuga family, Hinata's personality is a bit cowardly and introverted, but at least her talent is pretty good and she is within the range of being salvageable.

Of course, this is also the reason why the head of the Hyuga family didn't know about Hinata's Byakugan awakening. Otherwise, he might have been prepared to send him away early.

In any case, in the eyes of Hinata who has awakened the Byakugan, the amount of chakra of each person is obvious. Some people's chakra is very special - specifically Hanami Akira, whose chakra is very warm and active, and those who are so huge that the chakra is very warm and active.

People felt horrible inside Naruto.

Hinata has never encountered such a special chakra in Konoha.

Although her Byakugan is not open now, after observing over time, combined with the opponent's posture, expression, movements, and breath sensing, Hinata can be 100% sure that the person in front of her is called "Naruko" by Sasuke and Akira Hanami.

The person she likes is "Naruto-kun".

Although she was certain of this, Hinata, who was reserved and considerate by nature, was not very good at refuting other people's words, so naturally she didn't refute anything.

Especially when she saw the panic expression on "Naruko's" face, Hinata understood that Naruto-kun didn't want to expose something.

At least now, it seems that Uchiha Sasuke and Hanami Akira don't know the truth.

This feeling of mastering the secret of your sweetheart is so refreshing that you can't help but enjoy it secretly.

So, Hinata just glanced at "Naruko", then secretly lowered her head and stopped showing her face, for fear that she might accidentally ruin Naruto-kun's important event.

Although, she didn't understand why Naruto-kun did this at all.

Seeing that this incident was over, Hinata did not delve into the meaning of taking off her waistcoat, and Hanami Akira breathed a sigh of relief.

He, Sasuke, and Naruto stepped forward to queue up to sign up. It was still some time before the competition officially started.

However, Sakura and Ino, who saw Hanami Akira and Sasuke, looked at each other tacitly, then both pushed forward and crossed out their names.

Just kidding, it was true that they wanted to turn their grief and anger into appetite before, but now, in front of Mingjun and Sasuke-kun, how could they participate in some big eating competition without caring about their image?

As beauties, they also need face.

Hinata also had the same idea.

Every time, this competition is the only way Hinata can satisfy her appetite, but all of this is nothing in front of her male god.

Hinata originally didn't want to expose this attribute in front of acquaintances. When she met Sakura and Ino, she thought about giving up the competition. Now that even Naruto-kun is here, she will not participate even more.

Fortunately, the same was true for Sakura and Ino, and her reaction was not abrupt.

"Then, Ming-kun, Sasuke-kun, I will cheer for you!"

"Me too!"

Sakura and Ino smiled and waved to the two of them, saying that they would be their support team.

"How partial, Ino!"

"Huh? Chouji, are you here too?"

"Of course, how can such a competition be without me!"

Akimichi dragged Shikamaru in angrily. After looking around, he puffed up his chest confidently.

"I will definitely win the title of king this year! But why do you always look so miserable every time I compete, but you still cheer for them when they compete?"

"Of course, those who are handsome are called foodies, and those who are ugly are called losers."

Yango Ino said this without hesitation. She had always disliked Choci for eating endlessly. However, although her little friend was not handsome, he was not ugly either, so she added.

"Don't worry, you're not ugly, so you're just an ordinary eater."

"..."

"Oh, it's really troublesome."

Choji was speechless, and Shikamaru also sighed and said nothing more.

Anyway, they basically knew Ino's character.

Choji wanted to participate, but Shikamaru was not interested in this, so in the end, Choji, Hanami Akira and others lined up to sign up, and then went to the preparation area to wait, while Shikamaru went to watch the game with a few girls

district.

At this time, Sakura and Ino had regained their energetic appearance, and began to chat about the two handsome guys' food preferences, and then jointly defeated the blond goblin.

Previously, in front of Sasuke and Hanami Akira, they had not been too difficult, but pointing fingers behind their backs was unavoidable.

Shikamaru was grateful for this, but Hinata...

Hinata could only laugh awkwardly.

The two people seemed to want her to join the team to defeat the "twin-tailed vixen", but was she supposed to say that it was not a golden-haired vixen, but her male idol?

Hinata could only silently take two steps back, reduce her sense of presence, and talk to herself in confusion.
