"Don't need you to teach anything, just having this title is enough," Hiashi's tone was very sincere.
Although Aoba was currently only a disciple of the Hokage, that identity alone clearly wasn't enough to intimidate the old geezers of the main house.
But Aoba wasn't an ordinary Hokage disciple. From Tsunade's various actions, it was easy to see she intended to cultivate him as the next Hokage.
Aoba's current talent was absolutely enough for him to beco Hokage in the near future.
If not the next one, then the one after.
The future identity of Hokage was already enough to make those old geezers back off a bit.
After all, this was the Hyuga clan's way of survival.
Aoba was also feeling a bit pressured right now, though it wasn't from old man Hiashi, but from the gazes of two little lolis behind him, one big, one small.
'If I refuse, both little girls will be sad, right?'
It was just a teacher-disciple relationship, it wouldn't affect him much, and Hinata was so cute, he didn't dislike it.
If he had to na one downside. It might be that in the future, he'd have to treat Hinata and Hanabi separately.
After a brief mont of thought, he nodded.
Hiashi was overjoyed, and Aoba added another line, "But I've just graduated, I might not have much ti to teach her."
"That's fine, Hanabi's just started school. You can guide her after she graduates too," Hiashi felt that, given Aoba's talent, by the ti Hanabi graduated, he'd probably already be Hokage.
He actually had a bit of another thought too.
If Hanabi beca Aoba's disciple, with the master-disciple identity, it would be hard for both his daughters to be 'ruined' by this guy.
As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll.
"Aoba, let this be Hanabi's apprenticeship gift."
"Uncle Hiashi, you're too kind," Aoba accepted the scroll and put it away directly.
Opening a gift in front of soone wasn't exactly polite.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll go tell Hanabi about this."
"Mm, I'll trouble you to take care of Hinata and Hanabi from now on."
Aoba stood up, and just as he pushed open the two paper doors, he was t with two pairs of white eyes.
'Mm… Although cute, they really are white eyes.'
He already had a hunch that his future life would be full of white-eyed stares.
"Tea—cher—", Hanabi hugged Aoba's waist, looking up happily at him.
This sight made Aoba unable to resist wanting to squish her cheeks.
He reached out and pulled her cheeks apart a bit, very soft and squishy.
Made one want to take a bite.
"Mmm~", Hanabi let out a muffled sound.
"Hanabi…", Hinata looked at Hanabi with eyes full of envy, 'I want to do that too.'
Then her cheeks were also pinched.
Playing with the old man Hiashi's daughter right in front of him, this blonde kid was really locked in now.
———
The evening breeze blew gently.
Scattered lights flickered.
After chatting with Hinata and Hanabi for a bit, Aoba left.
After leaving, he opened the scroll and took a glance.
Turned out it was chakra tal again, these big clans really were rich.
Feeling the evening breeze, Aoba closed his eyes in slight comfort.
But suddenly, he bumped into a soft object.
He even caught a whiff of alcohol from it.
This kind of experience he'd only had with Tsunade before, but he knew, this wasn't Tsunade.
Because the weight was wrong.
He imdiately stepped back and looked up.
"Sister Kurenai?"
"You little brat, can't you watch where you're going when you walk?"
Yuhi Kurenai gritted her teeth slightly, rubbing her fishnet top with her hand, her face slightly flushed with an unnatural redness.
Only adding to her mature charm.
She had originally wanted to jump out and scare him a little, but the guy had closed his eyes and walked straight into her.
"You suddenly appeared in front of …", Aoba had only closed his eyes after confirming there was no one around.
"You went drinking?", Thinking of the alcohol he had just slled, he asked.
"Mm… just had a bit at the izakaya…", She tried to hide the shopping bag in her hand behind her, seemingly embarrassed to let a student see her drinking habits.
Aoba naturally noticed the movent.
He suddenly rembered, 'Sister Kurenai seems to like drinking vodka…'
'Truly a heroic woman.'
"Sister Kurenai, no need to feel embarrassed. My teacher also loves drinking, I get it."
"Uh… alright then," Kurenai just felt it hurt her image as a teacher a bit.
"By the way, did you just co from the Hyuga house?"
"Yeah."
Aoba nodded, then said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow."
He was about to walk past her when Kurenai suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Want to co up to my place for a bit?"
"Mm?"
"My place is just here," Kurenai pointed upward at the residential building.
After all, they were already at her doorstep. If she didn't invite him up, it would seem too distant.
"But didn't you drink?"
"You think just because I drank, I can't be a good host?", Kurenai crossed her arms, sounding a bit annoyed.
Aoba thought about the ti, 'It isn't too late', so he nodded and agreed.
But when they got upstairs and opened the door—
—things got a bit awkward.
Probably because she lived alone, Kurenai didn't seem to like cleaning up, and the place was a bit ssy.
Shoes were scattered all over the floor.
On the living room's coffee table were uncleaned bottles and cups.
On the sofa… were probably clothes just changed out of.
"Uh… I'll clean up right away!", Kurenai was extrely embarrassed.
She had left in a rush that morning, and didn't have ti to clean up last night's drinks, completely forgot.
She usually kept things tidy.
She quickly entered and started cleaning.
"I'll help out too," Aoba shook his head helplessly and went forward to help clean.
Before long, Aoba held up a bandage with a strange expression. He didn't know what it was for.
If it was for wrapping small wounds, it was a little too clean…
"Sister Kurenai, this…"
Before he could finish, Kurenai snatched the bandage out of his hand.
"You just sit! I'll clean up!"
Her cheeks were slightly red.
And Aoba, noticing the bandage wrapped on her thigh, seed to realize sothing.
He didn't pry further, just in case he stumbled on anything even more private.
Before long, the house was tidied up.
Kurenai and Aoba sat facing each other.
Two cups of hot tea sat on the table.
The atmosphere was a bit quiet, neither of them knew what to say.
Mostly because of what had just happened, Kurenai was a bit embarrassed. This was the first ti anyone had seen her in such a ssy state.
She usually cleaned up in ti.
Aoba took a sip of tea.
"How about… I take my leave?"
"Ah? I…"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At this mont, knocking sounds ca from the door.
