Chapter 44: Let the Storm Rage Even Fiercer
Hinata tilted her cute little head in confusion.
She had no idea what Naruto was looking at.
So she asked blankly:
"Naruto-kun… what are you looking at?"
Naruto cleared his throat and withdrew his gaze.
He refocused on Hinata's slightly baby-fat cheeks.
He said seriously:
"Hinata, I've discovered a very serious problem!"
This concerned the future health of his precious daughters—no room for error!
Especially Himawari.
How could he bear to let such a small child go hungry?
As for clothes—she'd never lack them.
After all, once he became Hokage, he wouldn't be short on money for outfits.
Hinata froze. She sensed Naruto had something important to say.
Thump thump—
Her little heart started pounding wildly.
"N-Naruto-kun… go ahead!"
Naruto didn't beat around the bush. He went straight to the point:
"Hinata, I heard that girls who eat papaya get smoother, fairer skin."
"Your skin is already nice, but I always feel like something's missing."
"If you don't want to eat it, just pretend I never said anything."
Papaya really is good for the skin!
Beyond that—it's a great tonic.
And it has nothing to do with the rain girl.
Mhm… absolutely no relation to boys.
Naruto didn't need it.
But his future daughters did.
A wife needs to be cultivated from a young age.
The earlier you start, the easier and more effective it is.
Want a certain type of girl? Just raise her that way!
Time-saving and effortless!
Naruto didn't want to regret it later.
That would be too big a pity.
"Oh… so that's what it was…"
Hinata blinked.
She thought it was something about ninjutsu.
She never expected it to be about beauty…
Girls naturally love beauty—no matter the world.
It's engraved in their DNA.
A woman adorns herself for those she loves!
Since Naruto personally brought it up,
Hinata couldn't treat it lightly.
Her small face turned serious.
"Naruto-kun… I understand. How should I prepare the papaya? Or just eat it raw?"
My little wife—I'm not lying to you!
We're family—how could that be deception?
You'll understand your husband's good intentions later.
Especially when you see Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura fall far behind you in the future.
You'll dominate them all!
Naruto grinned. Honestly—he wasn't very familiar with the exact way to prepare papaya.
But based on vague memories, he could piece together a method.
"I think it's steamed. With milk—oh right! Pour some milk in. Not only does it beautify and nourish the skin, it also helps refine your chakra a little…"
Not only does it whiten.
It boosts cultivation too!
Where else can you find such a good deal?
As for how it actually boosts chakra…
that was completely made up by Naruto.
cough cough…
Not entirely made up.
At least he believed there was some effect!
Naruto spoke with absolute seriousness.
Hinata's clear, watery eyes filled with huge curiosity.
And disbelief.
Her small mouth formed a perfect little "o."
She exclaimed:
"Naruto-kun… did you get so strong because you ate papaya?"
Naruto nearly choked.
Good wife—you really get it!
Yes… exactly as you imagined.
Except I'm doing second-hand digestion.
First digestion is you eating the fruit.
Second digestion is me digesting you.
The logic is flawless—no flaws.
New iron might have issues, but old iron never does!
Because old iron has no problems.
So he nodded.
"Indeed!"
Hinata's heart was utterly shocked. She believed 100% of Naruto's words.
After getting his confirmation,
the little girl froze completely!
Besides being stunned by this viable cultivation method…
there was another thing that shocked her deeply!
Why would Naruto tell her such a secret?
Did that mean… Naruto liked her?
Thinking of this…
Hinata's small face flushed even deeper.
She had always been a shy little girl.
Especially in a situation like this—
talking quietly with the boy she loved,
sharing secrets only the two of them knew.
Hinata clenched her small fists, as if making a major decision!
Her tone was firm, mosquito-thin, almost a whisper:
"I definitely won't let you down!"
Her voice was too quiet.
Naruto couldn't hear what she said.
So he asked curiously:
"Hinata, what did you just say? I didn't catch it—can you repeat?"
Hinata was about to speak—
when one of the branch family members suddenly shouted:
"Shh… quiet! The Clan Head is coming out—back to what you were doing!"
Whoosh—
The crowd that had been about to scatter
suddenly froze.
Hiashi had walked out.
They were too embarrassed to rush back into the courtyard.
So they could only obediently shut their mouths.
Heads lowered.
They greeted the emerging Hiashi:
"Clan Head, good day!"
"Clan Head, good day!"
"…"
The commotion over there was quite loud.
Naruto naturally noticed it immediately.
"Oh—Hyuga Hiashi, current head of the Hyuga clan… my future father-in-law."
First time meeting the father-in-law.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
But some things had to happen eventually.
Let the storm rage even fiercer!
