Hiashi Hyūga: "..."
Neji Hyūga: "..."
Hanabi Hyūga: "..."
Who is that?!
Ino Yamanaka: "Uh… that's Hinata?!"
Sakura Haruno: "Probably. Sigh… if my dad turned out like that, then Hinata being like this isn't that surprising."
As for Hinata herself—
When she saw how violent her alternate self was, she nearly fainted on the spot. Even now she hadn't fully recovered.
The Screen Continues
Hinata walked toward Nagi with her hands in her pockets.
Her tone was flat, almost like a statement rather than a question.
"Hey. Did you see anything just now?"
Nagi nodded and gave her a thumbs-up.
"Nice job!"
"Huh?"
Hinata looked slightly surprised that she hadn't received the reaction she expected.
Then she waved her hand dismissively.
"Alright. Since we're both girls, I'll let you go. By the way, try not to walk through places like this again."
After saying that, Hinata walked past him without looking back.
But Nagi stepped in front of her, blocking the way.
Hinata's eyes narrowed.
"What? Looking for trouble?"
Nagi immediately objected.
"I'm a boy."
"Huh?!"
Hinata froze for a moment.
"I said I'm a boy, not a girl!"
Hinata suddenly looked amused.
She stroked her chin and circled around Nagi with a mischievous smile.
"Proof?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, how are you going to prove you're a boy and not a girl?"
Nagi paused.
But soon he relaxed a bit. After all, the maids in the clan and his cousin had taught him about the differences between boys and girls.
He started checking.
He touched his throat.
No Adam's apple.
He grabbed his hair.
Shoulder-length hair.
His voice—
Clear, soft childlike tone. Impossible to tell.
He checked his pockets.
Money and a shopping list. Nothing else.
Nagi froze.
Aside from the obvious anatomical difference… he had no other way to prove he was a boy.
Hinata watched him with a grin.
"Well? Where's your proof?"
"..."
For the first time, Nagi found himself completely stumped.
Finally Hinata laughed.
"Alright, alright. I'm just messing with you."
She patted his shoulder.
"A boy like you wandering around outside is pretty dangerous too. Be careful."
Then she left without looking back.
Nagi sighed in relief and continued on his way home with his groceries.
But before he got far—
Hinata's voice drifted from behind him.
"Oh right. Goodbye, little girl~."
Nagi spun around immediately.
But Hinata had already disappeared.
His cheeks puffed up in anger.
Reactions
Mei Terumī: "Hahaha! He's mad! Nagi is actually mad! This is the first time I've seen him look angry."
Tsunade: "Pfft—hahaha! That kid actually got teased by Hinata and couldn't do anything about it. That's hilarious!"
Mikoto Uchiha: "Mm-hmm. Sasuke used to puff his cheeks when he got angry too. It's adorable."
Jiraiya: "Hahaha! Who would've thought Nagi would get stuck on such a simple question about the difference between boys and girls?"
Orochimaru: "The answer is quite simple. First—"
Kabuto Yakushi: "Lord Orochimaru… perhaps you shouldn't get involved in this."
Tsunade: "Hahaha! Orochimaru, how exactly do you prove whether you're a man or a woman?"
Orochimaru: "..."
Now that I think about it… what gender am I currently?
The Screen Continues
Nagi returned home.
For safety reasons, Genma had Nagi live with him until Nagi learned how to extract chakra.
"I'm back."
"Oh, welcome home."
However, Genma immediately noticed something from Nagi's tone.
"You seem a bit unhappy today. Did something happen?"
"Nothing."
Nagi handed him the groceries and went to wash up.
Genma watched him, puzzled.
After dinner, Genma went out, leaving Nagi alone at home.
Lying on the sofa, Nagi kept thinking about Hinata's question from earlier.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find an answer.
Finally, he decided to look for one in the family bookshelf.
He brought over a stool and began scanning the titles on the top shelf.
After searching for a while and finding nothing useful, he thought:
Well, I already moved the stool. Might as well grab something.
So he randomly picked up a book titled:
"Development and Management of Economic Regions."
Sitting on the sofa, he opened it.
But then he noticed something.
Another book was hidden inside.
The cover was orange.
It showed a boy chasing after a girl.
The title read—
"Icha Icha Paradise."
"Icha Icha Paradise? This must be a book about the difference between boys and girls."
Seeing the man and woman on the cover, Nagi concluded this was exactly the kind of book he needed.
Reactions
Jiraiya: "Yes, yes. That's indeed a book about men and women."
Kakashi Hatake: "WHAT?! The original limited collector's edition?! Genma, you actually own such a high-grade item?!"
Genma : "..."
Damn it! Why bring that up?! My social life is over!
Tsunade: "Jiraiya, that's your book, isn't it? Didn't expect you to start writing so early."
Jiraiya: "Ahem… Tsunade, that's my early inspiration work. I spent two or three years pouring my heart and soul into writing it."
Kushina Uzumaki: "Genma!!! It's one thing if you read that yourself, but why didn't you hide it better?! What if Nagi gets corrupted?!"
Genma: "Uh… Lady Kushina… I did hide it! I put it inside another book and placed it on the highest shelf! I just didn't expect Nagi to pick such a boring book!"
Kakashi: "No, no, no. Genma, your hiding technique is outdated. If it were me, I would—"
Mito Uzumaki: "That's enough! Stop corrupting people. And Jiraiya—if Nagi gets influenced by your book, I won't forgive you!"
Jiraiya: "W-Well, Lady Mito… technically that book was written by the other world's me."
Mito: "Isn't that the same thing? If you didn't write it, would that version of you still have written it?"
Jiraiya: "..."
She makes a good point. I can't argue with that.
Mei Terumī: "Hehehe. Honestly, I'm curious what expression that handsome little boy will make after reading it. Maybe he'll become a naughty boy. Just imagining it is exciting… slurp."
Tsunade: "Control yourself."
Even as she said that—
Tsunade's eyes were glued to the screen.
Truth be told, she was curious too.
The Screen Continues
Nagi opened the "treasure."
His eyes scanned the pages quickly.
Then his brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed.
"…I don't understand it."
He closed the book.
Then calmly picked up "Development and Management of Economic Regions" and started reading it instead.
Everyone watching collapsed.
"I'm done!" ×N
They had imagined countless possible outcomes—
But no one expected Nagi to simply not understand the book at all.
Fugaku Uchiha: "Well… Nagi is still at the age where he's just learning to read. Naturally he wouldn't understand the deeper meaning."
Mikoto Uchiha: "Oh? So that means you've read it before?"
Fugaku: "No! Absolutely not!"
Mikoto smiled faintly.
Men… I'll let you keep your dignity.
Jiraiya: "Hmph! Nagi, you little brat, what do you understand? This just proves books should have age restrictions."
