Chapter 19 Stupid!

Summer nights are a bit chilly because of the large temperature difference between day and night.

However, this temperature drop is not felt at all by people who are working hard to practice and whose blood circulation is fast.

Walking into the dark training ground, Ryosuke saw Hinata who was working hard to train her body in the dark.

It seems that what Neji said in the afternoon stimulated her. Her father said that after returning home and having dinner, she stayed in the training ground.

Fortunately, today is a day off. She did not practice during the day, otherwise training at night would only affect her body.

"Do you remember what you told me at the beginning?"

Ryosuke walked over with a smile and shouted to her from a distance: "Because of your age, your body has not yet fully developed. Excessive training will affect your body."

"Ryosuke."

Hinata stopped running, panting, and smiled at Ryosuke who was walking towards her, "You're back."

"Why, do you care about what Neji said today?" Ryosuke came to her side, and sat directly on a large rock nearby without feeling dirty.

"He's right."

Hinata looked at Ryosuke seriously and said, "As the head of the main family and the future head of the Hyuga clan, I can't lose to others. I should at least be like him and get the first place in the grade."

But Ryosuke didn't encourage and support her as usual.

"Stupid, you should be very clear about your talent, otherwise your father will not be disappointed in you. It is very important to recognize your level."

This time, Ryosuke's tone was not gentle, but a very strict attitude, "I suggest you better give up this idea. School life is just a very short part of your life."

"I said you will work hard, but I don't mean you can do it. You can't do this. I know it, and I hope you can know it too."

"Although I want you to be confident, I definitely don't want you to be conceited. Don't set your goals too high. There is no point in setting goals that you can't achieve."

Hinata has changed a lot recently, but the changes in her personality and mentality do not mean that her talents can also be improved.

The unique tempering method of the Hyuga clan is specially used to improve the physical fitness of seedlings that have not yet grown up.

Generally, as long as the disciples of the clan are willing to work hard, they can at least be qualified to practice soft fist at the age of six or seven, which is about a year after entering the ninja school.

But Hinata's progress has been very slow. As the head of the family, there are many resources poured into it, but she has only fully mastered the method of tempering this year.

According to the current progress, her physical fitness to reach the standard of practicing soft fist may be the same as the most ordinary family disciples, that is, at the age of seven.

With this talent, setting a goal of being the first in the grade is a bit overestimating.

He doesn't want Hinata to become an arrogant person.

Hearing Ryosuke's reprimand, Hinata's smile froze and clenched her fists.

"Are you unwilling?"

Ryosuke looked at Hinata's appearance and easily saw through her inner thoughts.

But there is one thing worth praising, that is, even so, she did not lower her head and was not as cowardly as before, which is a good thing.

Hinata was not like she was outside, pretending to be cold and covering up everything in her heart.

She was real in front of him, and her unwillingness was also real. She was really much stronger than before.

"I..."

Hinata opened her mouth to refute something, but for a long time, she couldn't say a word.

"If you are unwilling, you can also not listen to my advice."

The stern expression on his face eased, and Ryosuke casually spread his hands and smiled: "Since you want to become a qualified family head, the most important thing is that you need to have your own judgment."

"Didn't Hyuga Neji say that he hopes you can also become the first in the grade and suppress Uchiha, you have to do what he said."

"It's not that I suggest you give up this idea now and change to another goal, you have to do what I say."

"If you always listen to others' words and live according to others' requirements, then Hinata, you will never become a qualified family head, you will only become a puppet called the family head."

Hinata, who was still hot-blooded and a little unconvinced, slowly loosened her clenched fists.

Ryosuke's gentle words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring all over her from head to toe, calming her down.

He was right. If you think about it carefully, with her talent, it is basically impossible to achieve the physical fitness of practicing soft fist before entering school.

It is impossible to secure the first place in the grade with the soft fist.

Setting such a high goal will only undermine your own confidence.

"But Ryosuke, if I can't defeat the Uchiha clan, won't it bring shame to the Hyuga clan?"

Hinata's face looked a little disappointed, "Father is already very disappointed in me, if..."

"I think you're thinking too much. Father never thought you would be able to hold the first place in the grade." Ryosuke replied without a trace of euphemism, "Besides, as a ninja, it's not enough to just have force."

Facing her puzzled eyes, Ryosuke explained softly, "The assessment of the ninja school is not only about actual combat, but also theoretical examinations. Although most people focus on actual combat, they think that the first place in actual combat is the real first place in the grade."

"But if you get the first place in the theoretical examination, it's not impossible to satisfy your father. At that time, the Hyuga clan will have an excuse to refute other voices in the village."

As he said, he stretched out his hand. He reached out and rubbed her hair, "Strength is an indispensable factor for ninjas, but you can't let your head down either."

"You are the future head of the Hyuga clan. You can command any of the clan members, whether they are Genin, Chunin or even Jonin, after you officially become a ninja."

"By then, even if you don't have the strength, you can still have the strength that only Jonin can have, even in multiple digits."

"You don't have to do it yourself. As the clan leader, you just need to consider the overall situation, plan for the future and interests of Hyuga, and you can convince the people and rest assured."

Hinata's eyes widened, and she listened blankly.

This was the first time she knew about this, and the first time someone mentioned it to her.

She didn't have to focus on pursuing strength.

"Do you know that among the senior officials in the village, there are positions such as military advisors and Hokage consultants." Ryosuke chuckled at her, unconsciously stretched out his other hand and pinched her cheek.

Hinata nodded, "The village's military advisor is currently held by Shikaku, a jonin from the Nara clan, and the Hokage advisors are two elders from the same period as the Sandaime, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu."

"Not bad, it seems that in addition to training, you have also eavesdropped on a lot of things my father and I discussed recently."

Ryosuke looked at her with a smile, but didn't say much, just reminded her that what they talked about should not be disclosed to people outside the family.

"Since you know, you should know clearly what their work is."

"In fact, strictly speaking, they are the same as you, except that they govern the entire village, plan for the benefit of the village, and live and die with the village."

"And you are the future head of the Hyuga clan, and you think for our clan, so you don't have to look down on yourself just because you have no talent in actual combat and practice."

"There are many ways to become a ninja. Some people specialize in illusion, some specialize in ninjutsu or physical skills. These are different paths. As a family head, there are many ways to manage and win people over. Your father's method may not be suitable for you. You have to find your own way."

Under the bright night sky, Ryosuke and Hinata sat on a big stone in the training ground.

One person spoke seriously, and the other listened seriously.
