Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch. When Naruto pulled Xiao Li to a corner to fool him, the match between Hatata and Ningji officially began.
Unlike the awe-inspiring appearance of Ning Ci, Hinata walked down the stairs weakly. Wen Wen stood quietly opposite Ning Ci, but her eyes flickered from time to time. From the whites of her eyes, it was obvious that she was aiming at Kakashi and the others.
However, the figure that should have appeared was nowhere to be seen.
After searching for a long time, he still could not find that figure. Hatata could not help but let her imagination run wild.
Does he blame me for not cheering for him just now?
Does he hate me?
" I didn't expect my opponent to be you, Lady Hatata." A cold voice came out of Ning Ci's mouth.
" Brother Ningji," Hinata subconsciously called out when she heard Ningji call her.
Looking at Hinata's appearance, Ning Ci knew that Hinata was not in the right state at all. A feeling of anger that she was not taken seriously emerged.
He was clearly much stronger than Hinata, yet Hinata dared to ignore him.
This was the Zong Clan, they never treated the branch families as people.
Even if the branch family was stronger than the main family.
When Hinata was distracted, Ning Ci took Hinata's attitude as contempt for him, and thus developed an even more biased view of the Zong family towards Hinata.
"Before the battle begins, I would like to give Lady Hatata a piece of advice.”Even though he was angry, Ning Ci was still very rational. He knew Hatata very well. He knew how to break Hatata's fighting spirit, shatter her defenses, and destroy her will, causing her to lose without a fight.
"You're not suitable to be a ninja. You'd better give up!”
" I…" Hatata's eyes evaded her gaze. She opened her mouth but could not refute.
Because everyone said she wasn't suited to be a ninja.
"You are too kind. You always hope for peace and avoid all disputes.”Looking at Hinata who had lowered her head and remained silent, Ningji continued to add fuel to the fire." It's okay even if you have to give up your own opinions."
" You don't have confidence in yourself and often have a sense of inferiority. Therefore," Ning Ci's eyes were filled with an overbearing gaze that seemed to see through everything. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, as if he was disdainful and happy." Being a Genin is enough for you."”
"If I'm not wrong, you didn't participate in the Chuunin exam of your own free will. It's because there must be three people to participate in the Chuunin exam, and you couldn't find a reason to reject Ya and the others, so you forced yourself to participate. Is that so?"
" No, it's not that kind of me." Hearing Ning Ci say this, Hatata anxiously looked up at Ning Ci and explained. However, she couldn't explain it clearly. Her aura weakened, and she lowered her head to look at the ground with inferiority. However, he was able to say it clearly. "I just want to change myself through my own efforts."
"Hatata wants to change herself through her own efforts?”Xi Rihong looked at Hatsunada on the field, a trace of comfort flashing through her eyes.
"Hatata." Shino silently recited Hinata's name in her heart. For the first time, Shino realized that he didn't understand his usually weak teammate.
Or rather, it was the first time he got to know and understand her.
Not only Shino, everyone who knew Hinata had a completely different opinion of him.
" Hatata, you really are the young miss of the Zong family." The others were shocked by Hatata's words, but Ning Ci revealed an even more disdainful smile.
"What?" Hatata did not understand what Ningji meant.
" People can't be changed no matter what." Looking at Hatata's contracted pupils, Ning Ci said meaningfully," A hindrance is a hindrance. His character and strength can't be changed."”
"Just like how you are the main family and I am a branch family, no one can change that.”(The details of the conversation were changed from Naruto Chapter 78, Ningji and Hinata)
"So, I have already seen through everything with my eyes. You are just forcing yourself. In fact, you want to escape from here as soon as possible."
" No, it's not that. I really want to." Hatata wanted to defend herself, but Ning Ci's eyes suddenly changed and he rolled his eyes.
In that instant, Hatata felt as if he had been seen through and could not hide anything. His hands subconsciously covered his chest, his gaze drifting towards Kakashi and the others.
Naruto.
Not here again
Does he hate me completely?
"You can't lie to me. After I pressured you, your gaze moved to the upper left. This means that you are recalling your past experiences. In other words, your painful past."
"Also, your action of placing your hands in front of your chest shows that you want to set up a barrier between us to preserve the distance. In other words, you don't want me to see into your heart. Because what I said is exactly what you think in your heart.”
" Also," Nyoji followed up when he saw Hinata touching her lips with her right hand," touching lips is a sign of emotional instability. This proves that your defensive instincts are easing your nervousness and anxiety.”
Tears. Unconsciously, it flowed out of Hatata's face.
"In other words, you've already noticed it. You can't change anything at all. It's useless for you to wait.”
" No, it's not like that!" Hatata could no longer hold on. She collapsed and squatted on the ground, hugging her head as she muttered to herself.
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
"I didn't keep my promise, it was me."
"It's me."
" Hatsune " Xi Rihong looked worriedly at Hatsune, who was in a state of self-blame. Her heart ached. Could it be that there was something else that hurt Hatata that she didn't know about that caused her to suffer such a huge psychological trauma?
"He has completely lost his will to fight. It seems that Ning Ci won without a fight.”Kai looked at the situation and sighed. "I wonder if Hatata will be able to pull herself together in the future."
"Did he collapse?" Hinata's current condition made it impossible for him to continue competing. He picked up his novel and started reading it again when Kakashi was done.
When the others saw such a young field, their hearts were filled with different experts. Some sympathized with him, while others disdained him.
Perhaps, Hatata was just like Shiro, not suitable to be a ninja.
Naruto, where are you?
A lonely and helpless cry echoed in her heart. Hatata felt as if she had returned to the time when she was six years old.
