Chapitre 41: Chapter 41 : Teasing Hinata
What the hell is going on...
"I... I... I can't go on anymore, Shika-kun," Hinata gasped, struggling for air and almost collapsing from exhaustion after our training.
The problem was that we hadn't been training for long. Unlike in the waves, where Hinata focused solely on her Water Style Chakra Nature Transformation, since returning to the village, I had started taijutsu training with her.
There were two main reasons I chose to train Hinata. One was that I clearly needed taijutsu training, and out of everyone I knew, Hinata's taijutsu skills were the best. The second reason was that I wanted to make her stronger. I still remember what happened to her in the anime.
Being beaten so badly by Neji that she nearly died, I won't let that happen this time. Although I'm no god and can't make her stronger than Neji in just three months, I have to try.
Or so I thought...
Seeing Hinata panting and already exhausted made me frown. She's a petite girl, I know, but she comes from a lineage of shinobi, and not just any shinobi family, but one of the major families in Konoha, which is currently the largest in the village and heavily focused on taijutsu.
With all this, one would think Hinata would have much more stamina. In fact, I was worried that I'd be the one panting like that in front of her.
"Okay, Hinata. Rest for a while." What else could I say? I knew Hinata wasn't one to slack off.
After pondering the situation, I couldn't figure out why Hinata was performing worse than me. So I waited until she was ready to go again, but instead of restarting the taijutsu fight, I asked her to do something else.
"Hinata, please remove your coat."
"Huh...?" Hinata blinked, seemingly not understanding me.
"I said, please remove those baggy clothes," I replied, trying to keep a straight face.
"W... wh... what... Why?" Her face turned bright red, and she started to stutter.
Realizing she might misunderstand, I wanted to explain, but teasing Hinata was too much fun.
"I want to check something. Go on, don't worry," I said with a serious expression, watching as Hinata continued to stutter.
Her face was flushed with embarrassment as she looked at me, and she couldn't help but gulp.
"Hmm, Shika-kun, that... that..." Hinata was far too shy.
Sigh.
Maybe I should clarify.
...
Nah.
"Hinata, do you trust me?" I took a few steps closer and asked seriously, making her blush even more and become flustered.
It was hard to stop the smile forming on my face.
Shakily, she moved and slowly unbuttoned her baggy coat, which only made me more amused by her reactions.
But what I saw next made me blush for a moment. I have to admit, Hinata is quite developed in certain areas.
She stood there with an absolutely red face, trying to hide her well-developed figure, and the fact that she was only wearing a normal shirt underneath didn't help.
No... no, focus. I internally reminded myself to stay on track and walked toward Hinata, making her nervous.
"Show me your hands," I instructed, and Hinata moved almost instinctively, presenting her hands to me.
But I didn't really need to see her hands; I touched her forearms and shoulders, trying to feel her muscles.
Meanwhile, she was trembling with shyness.
I, on the other hand, was more confused. The girl didn't have many muscles. That wasn't right at all. Even someone with a slender build, like a kunoichi, should have some muscle.
Hinata, who should have received systematic training all this time, should be no exception. That one thing was enough to distract me from the shy girl with the tomato-red face.
I moved on and pondered while not even looking at her.
"Say, Hinata, what kind of physical exercise do you usually do every day, and what do you eat, and how much? Tell me precisely," I finally asked, glancing back at her as she continued to try to hide her figure and remained red-faced.
"Hmm, you can put your coat back on, Hinata," I said with a deadpan expression.
I couldn't help but sigh.
...
"Huff." Hinata huffed as she avoided me completely. I later explained what I was doing, and she snapped at me. Although her snapping was also very cute—pouting and looking away.
Man... Naruto is lucky.
Anyway, with a bit of prodding, I got her diet and workout plan and figured out why she was so weak.
"Come on, Hinata. I was just teasing you a little. How about this: I'll treat you to ramen to apologize." I smiled as I took her to the ramen shop.
She sneaked a glance at me while chuckling internally. Although she was a bit annoyed, it wasn't too serious. After all, Shika didn't do anything to her beyond checking her muscles and inquiring about her diet and training plan.
Of course, I had a reason for doing this.
"Mister, please give us ramen. Keep them coming. It's all on me," I said to the ramen shop owner.
Hinata's facade lasted only a few seconds before she dug in.
In just a few minutes, she was done.
"Here, have another one." Before Hinata had even finished her first bowl, I handed her another. She blinked but started eating again.
A few minutes later...
"Here, have another one." I gave her another bowl, making her purse her lips.
"Uncle, how many bowls can Naruto eat?" I asked. The ramen shop owner looked a bit surprised by the question but answered immediately.
"Usually five bowls. His best record is fourteen."
"Oh, okay, give this girl fifteen bowls then," I replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Hinata nearly choked on her ramen.
"Hmm, Shika-kun, you don't have to do this. I forgive you already..." she said, but I cut her off.
"I know you forgive me, Hinata. You're too sweet to stay angry at anyone for long. I'm not doing this for that.
After analyzing, I realized that you're eating less than you should. That's why you're feeling weak all the time. If this training is to work, you need to eat more, until you're completely full."
Hinata was taken aback. She hadn't expected me to realize she wasn't eating enough. Although I didn't know why she wasn't eating enough, I did know she had a huge appetite.
So, learning that she was eating so little made it clear that was the issue.
I wasn't sure why she didn't eat enough, but I had to change that. Thanks to the recent mission, I had enough money to last me for years. Making sure this girl ate her fill wouldn't dent my wallet.
Seeing me, Hinata looked down, not wanting to be a bother. I knew her confidence played a role in this.
"I told you I would help you, right? That means I will. Once I give my word, I never go back on it." I said, mimicking Naruto, which made her look at me with surprise.
"And by the way, if you don't eat, then I won't either. If I end up starving later, that will be on you, Hinata. Remember that." I smiled, making sure she had a reason to eat her fill from now on.
She nodded slowly, her head still downcast.
I moved a little closer and whispered, "Don't worry, I like a little chubby girl." She immediately turned red.
Ah... teasing her is the best.
