Chapter 272: Setting a Trap for Sasuke

The Hyuga clan's compound.

Kitazawa saw Hinata Hyuga at the entrance.

Her attire was the same as always—long sleeves and long pants, wrapped very tightly.

In the July sun, it would make people feel hot unconsciously.

Kitazawa thought back carefully; from childhood to adulthood in the original work, Hinata Hyuga's clothes were very conservative or traditional.

There was no doubt that this was related to the Hyuga clan's style.

Kitazawa looked at Hiashi Hyuga, who was standing next to Hinata Hyuga.

He stood straight, his expression serious; he looked very difficult to approach.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Hinata Hyuga saw him and ran over.

"...?"

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but frown.

As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, seeing her act so rashly in front of an outsider—what kind of decorum was this?

"Hinata."

Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice: "Wait a moment; I have something to say to your teacher."

"Yes, Father."

Hinata Hyuga looked at Kitazawa, nodded, and said.

"Clan Head Hiashi."

Kitazawa took the initiative to greet him.

"It's a good thing for Hinata to participate in special training."

Hiashi Hyuga said expressionlessly: "But she is ultimately surnamed Hyuga, and the Gentle Fist is what she should learn."

"I will arrange for her to practice the Gentle Fist more."

Kitazawa understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he followed his words.

Hiashi Hyuga was a bit dissatisfied upon hearing this.

His subtext was to let Kitazawa cancel the special training on the spot.

But who knew he would say he would arrange for her to practice the Gentle Fist more.

Are Itachi a ninja of the Hyuga clan? Teaching things randomly, thinking Itachi can do whatever Itachi want.

"If her progress in the Gentle Fist slows down, the special training must be stopped immediately."

In front of Hinata Hyuga, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't vent, so he changed to another condition.

"I understand."

Kitazawa nodded.

He wasn't afraid of offending Hiashi Hyuga.

More accurately, as long as he didn't completely offend him, a small conflict was of no consequence.

Not to mention having Hinata Hyuga stand in front of him, Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi would help him resolve such small contradictions.

"Itachi may go."

Hiashi Hyuga stared at Kitazawa and said slowly.

That look was as if he were guarding against someone stealing his home.

"Father, goodbye."

Hinata Hyuga greeted him and followed Kitazawa away happily.

After leaving the Hyuga clan's compound, she took a step forward and blocked his path.

"What's wrong, Hinata?"

Kitazawa asked in confusion.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga tightened her small face and said very earnestly: "Although Father doesn't trust Itachi, I trust Itachi!"

"I know."

Kitazawa laughed dumbly, touched her head, and said.

Hinata Hyuga felt relieved upon hearing this.

Although her personality had changed, the introversion and shyness she had before allowed her to maintain very sensitive observation skills to this day.

She had noticed Hiashi Hyuga's distrust of Kitazawa, which was why she said that just now.

Kitazawa glanced at her.

Hinata Hyuga was very sensible, or rather, children in the ninja world were all very precocious.

After all, this was a world where a four-year-old could go to the battlefield.

Kitazawa and Hinata Hyuga soon arrived at the ninja academy's artificial lake.
