Chapter 88: The Conflicted Jiu Xing

After Jiu Xing dragged it out for three days, he was finally dragged over by Xun to visit Nao.

Jiu Xing sat on the floor in the corridor outside the door and felt strange watching the two girls in the room happily chatting while holding tea cups.

Nao behaved extremely normally, almost abnormally.

It seemed as if he had completely forgotten what happened that day.

But it’s better this way. Let’s just treat what happened that day as a momentary impulse and pretend it never happened.

However, at this moment, Xun suddenly glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and exclaimed.

"ah."

"I'm going to find Master Jiraiya to practice the Toad Short Blade Sky Slash Flashing Moonlight Spiral Wheel Dance Roar Zero Style."

Then he looked at Jiu Xing and said:

"Jiu Xing, you stay with Sister Nao first. I want to eat fish tonight."

Having said that, he immediately used Flying Thunder God to escape in a hurry.

Nao: …

Jiu Xing: ...

Watching the blonde girl disappear in an instant, Jiu Xing couldn't help but rub his forehead, then looked at the black-haired girl.

Just happened to meet Nao's pair of pure white eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Jiu Xing, who had just made up her mind to treat what happened that day as if it had never happened, started to recall it again.

Damn, I am such a sword...

Just as Jiu Xing was in a dilemma, Nao spoke softly:

"Why are you hiding from me?"

Her tone was calm, but with a hint of sorrow that she herself was not aware of.

"what?"

"I'm not hiding from you~~"

Jiuxing looked at Nao with a somewhat evasive gaze, as she was clinking her teacup in front of her like a lady from a noble family.

In other words, she was originally a lady from a wealthy family.

The quiet Nao exudes the temperament of a noble lady.

Elegant and virtuous.

Of course, this is only when she isn't beating people up.

"Then why didn't you come to see me for several days?"

Nao spoke quietly.

"I, I'm busy, right?"

Jiu Xing turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and a pair of arms wrapped around his waist from behind.

Jiu Xing's whole body tensed up at this moment.

Looking at the hand reaching out from behind, he couldn't help but remain silent.

He wanted to push her away, but he felt that if he did, the next time he met Nao, they would be strangers...

Nao gently rested her forehead on Jiu Xing's back and spoke softly:

"I don't know why."

"You were just an annoying kid who knew nothing back then."

"Why would I fall for you?"

Jiu Xing listened to Nao's words in silence. He could feel something soft and tight on his back.

"He's unreliable, looking for fights, has a bad attitude, and smokes and drinks. I really don't like him at all."

"…I'm really sorry that you can't like me."

Jiu Xing spoke subconsciously.

"Shut up."

"Oh."

Jiu Xing responded subconsciously, then suddenly realized why she was so obedient.
He is the bully of Konoha, and even Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the prince of Konoha, can't do anything to him.

"But you are different from others."

"do you know?"

Nao continued to speak.

"What do you know?"

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"

“……” Jiu Xing was speechless.

"Now my left eye can feel your warmth and your chakra, as if you are always in front of me."

Jiu Xing felt a little toothache when he heard this. At that time, he didn't have any container to hold the Byakugan, so he simply wrapped the Byakugan with chakra. He didn't expect that it would have this effect after a long time.

“Nao…”

Jiu Xing gently placed her hand on the tender little white hand that was hugging her waist and spoke.

Nao didn't say anything, waiting for Jiu Xing to speak.

"I always thought of you as my sister."

Hearing this, the girl who was hugging him from behind froze.

After a long while, Nao's words made Jiu Xing completely silent.

"Then why didn't you reject me?"

"..."

Jiu Xing didn't know how to respond to Nao for a moment.

"Turn around and look at me."

Without waiting for Jiuxing to respond, Nao forcefully turned Jiuxing's body over.

"do I look good?"

Nao looked at the boy in front of her with a firm gaze.

She didn't know if what she was doing was right, but she had already laid her cards on the table and there was no turning back.

Even if it makes Xun feel sorry, I have to go on even if I have to bite the bullet.

The road you choose, you have to walk on your knees.

"……nice."

Jiu Xing spoke very honestly.

As the mother of Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga in the original work, Nao Hyuga has always been very good-looking. In the seven years they have been together, he has never seen Nao ugly.

It can even be said that in terms of beauty alone, Hinata and Hanabi are not as good as Nao.

"What is my family background like?"

Nao continued to speak.

"…Rich woman."

Jiu Xing's answer made Nao speechless.

Although this is indeed the case, but when put so bluntly, wouldn't this guy use words like "distinguished family background" to describe it?
"What's my personality like?"

"Violent woman."

Jiu Xing answered almost without thinking this time.

A cross appeared on Nao's forehead and she clenched her fists involuntarily.

I chose, I chose...

"do you like me?"

When Nao asked this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Jiuxing's face.

Honestly, it would be a lie to say I didn't like it.

Nao is pretty and smart. Although she is a little violent at times, she is generally very nice to Kyuuki.

To outsiders, this Byakugan princess of the Hyuga family is an elegant and virtuous person, but that is just a mask that Nao wears to the outside world.

Only to her own people will the girl in front of her reveal her true self.

And Jiuxing has been together with this girl for seven years.

Even a piece of granite should be warmed up.

It would be a lie to say I didn't like it.

But he couldn't overcome the hurdle of Kaoru. Although monogamy was not explicitly practiced in this world, as far as ninjas were concerned, basically everyone only had one partner.

So Jiu Xing subconsciously believed that this world also practiced monogamy.

The most important thing is Xun.

He didn't want Xun to get hurt.

The girl who only has eyes for herself.

The girl who cried bitterly and said she wanted to kill herself.

and many more? !
Kill yourself!!

This crappy place can't stay anymore!!!

Jiu Xing's hair stood on end all of a sudden. When he was about to run away, Nao suddenly grabbed his wrist with one hand and tightly held the acupoints on his hand!
Jiu Xing's chakra suddenly stagnated for a moment!
But this was enough for Nao. Jiu Xing had no defense against Nao at all. He was actually pressed to the ground by Nao!
