Chương 82: Chapter 80: Weakness

The sudden silence was replaced by another hiss of a frying pan ...

"What?" - Hanabi did not understand anything, but at the same time blushed, for the first time unable to contain her emotions ...

Imperceptibly, the quivering eyes of the kunoichi noticed how Naruto appeared in front of the table, put a plate of pancakes in front of her and smiled.

- I just adore when this mask slowly crumbles before my eyes, as if the entire veil covering a beautiful face instantly falls without a trace ... turned around:

- Bon Appetit! They are not as fun as my special recipe, but they seem to be delicious.

"Yes, I can scratch with my tongue ... My legendary skill is in business. Still, this girl has a weakness, she really loves to listen and ask questions. She tries to figure everything out, even in the dregs that I gave her ... As Hinata said, all Hyuugas love to listen, see and analyze, and how my wife used the Byakugan in her youth to observe me. Creepy, but cute ... Let's see what it will lead to, I know how to philosophize "

Sipping milk, Naruto decided to make himself a serving, while Hanabi stared at the pancakes on a plate drizzled with cranberry sauce. She involuntarily swallowed ...

"What does it mean? Was he talking about me now? " - the girl did not know what to think, the way he spoke simply could not charm ...

`` N-Naruto, I ... '' Turning slowly to the man, Hanabi's gentle voice swept through the kitchen again, but ...

- Old man? Hanabi's little sister?

Boruto appeared suddenly and destroyed the entire awkward atmosphere.

- You cook? - the guy was surprised, looking at his father behind the stove: - I never would have thought ... Where is mom?

- Resting, we had a hot night. The Hokage replied with a grin, winking at Hanabi. He was not at all annoyed by the sudden appearance of his son. Now he felt the power over the situation, so he was worried about something else ... Besides, this sucker will soon learn to respect!

"Mm?" The kunoichi was surprised by Naruto's actions and then suddenly realized everything!

So that's what makes him in such a good mood!

Restraining herself so as not to be embarrassed, she turned away and nodded to her nephew:

- Hi Boruto.

- Yeah. Why are you here early in the morning?

- Indeed? You never said it, "Naruto pointed out as he poured sauce over his pancakes. He settled down opposite the girl and began to eat breakfast.

`` Um, it really isn't that bad ...

The kunoichi smiled slightly as she watched him eat, then explained:

- I came to Himawari. Father asked to check her Byakugan. Yes, yes, don't look at me like that ...

- I said nothing...

- This is for now ... I know that you and Hinata are against her training, but, you know, at my age it was quite normal. She's a real genius and the longer you wait, the more time you waste!

"What enthusiasm, as long as there are no awkward topics, she still shines ..."

Naruto took a sip of milk and looked at his son.

- Boruto, sit down.

- A ... Aha!

The guy obeyed and sat down next to his father. Then the Hokage handed him a piece of pancake:

- Try it.

- Uh ... - the guy didn't even have time to refuse, as a piece got into his mouth. He worried uncertainly, and then was surprised and nodded.

- Tasty.

`` Well, you bet ... '' Turning to Hanabi, Naruto smiled.

- Fresh pancakes are always the best. Young beauties are also good ... Although, in relation to women, it is better to use a different analogy ... Still, sometimes delicious and very young or even very mature.

Putting his wands aside, the Hokage chuckled, glancing at the surprised kunoichi, who still did not understand the reason for the change in conversation.

- You are right, I completely share your opinion, it really is better for her to start training, but ... - Pointing his wand at the girl's cute nose, the man smiled slyly:

- It is better to wait until she is ready, after all, the sleepy girl is clearly not as good as fresh and cheerful.

Chuckling at the couple's puzzled faces, Naruto popped the last bite into his mouth and held out contentedly:

- I'm really good! Ha ... - standing up, he looked at the surprised kunoichi:

- You can stay with us today. If you want to train my daughter, you better do it under the supervision of her mother. We have a spare room, Boruto will prepare everything.

`` B-but father ...

- No "but"! - Asking for a frown at his son, Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Do what they say, and then you will receive a reward."

- A reward? Wait, why would I ...

- Do not ask boring questions, go eat and pack, we have a training session! I'll get dressed for now.

In a tone that could not tolerate objections, Naruto ordered his son, waved his hand and left, leaving the boy and Hanabi alone.

- Damn old man, what's wrong with him at all ... - Boruto muttered under his breath and looked at the pensive girl:

- Sis Hanabi? Something happened?

"Um, no, it's all right," she, as always, smiled charmingly, for some wonder why she was embarrassed by some dangerous thought.

"If you remember, the last time I stayed with him in the same house, everything changed too much ... He was not on purpose, was it? It doesn't look like I suggested it myself, but ... Why doesn't this strange feeling leave me? "

Hanabi lowered her eyes and calmed down:

- Ha ... It's okay. I just didn't get enough sleep and overworked in the morning workout.

- Oh, I understand ...

In any case, even if he behaves strangely, it does not mean anything. At least now Naruto has a lot to talk about and it was different from anything she had encountered in the past ...
