Encountering Hinata Hyuga

- the next day -

Yami got up early in the morning and after a simple workout, he left for school.

Walking on the beautiful streets of Konoha, he is thinking deeply.

'I think I should make some points before the Uchiha demon plan fully erupts, my strength is too low to protect myself if there is an unexpected situation. How am I supposed to earn so many points in a short time?'

While thinking, Yami noticed a cute-looking little girl with blue hair and Byakugan standing timidly in front of a park with her head lowered.

She is observing the children playing and having fun, in her eyes strong yearning appears but is quickly replaced with timidity.

Behind stands a guard of the Hyuga family, helplessly looking at the unqualified Hyuga heiress.

Yami recognizes her immediately - Hinata Hyuga - the future wife of Naruto Uzumaki.

In his previous life, she had high popularity because of her cute and shy character and deep love for Naruto.

In Boruto she is shown as an outstanding wife and loving mother.

Of course, Yami does not have any romantic feelings for such a young girl, but he sees the opportunity to make a lot of points in her.

Yami is thinking that, if he manages to effectively recreate the scene of Hinata being bullied as a child and getting helped by Naruto, only replacing Naruto with himself, will Boruto never be born, or as the protagonist of the Naruto-sequel will he be born from another woman? He just needs to find an opportunity to make Hinata dislike himself again afterwards.

'This idea is good, this should bring a lot of points by effectively cutting of Boruto.'

Yami thinks it is whimsical to leave it to a chance encounter, he can just use mental suggestions to let the guard go to the toilet and then use it again on some children so that they bully Hinata.

'Now is not a good time, the best way is to make a mental suggestion on Hinata, so that she goes out in the evening today.'

Deciding and implementing his plan immediately, Yami takes a last glance at Hinata and leaves for School again.

- 8 hours later -

Yami is wearing simple clothes with a dark kimono draped over his shoulders. He is currently walking towards the park, ready to carry out his wife-stealing operation for points.

'This does not count as NTR, right? Probably not, Hinata is way too young for me to have any ideas in this regard. Everything is for points.'

His thoughts are drifting, when he spots Hinata sitting on a park bench, observing the children who have not left the park yet. Normally she would never go out this late, but for some reason, she had a strong desire to do so today.

Her guard was shocked too, because Hinata usually spends most of her time training and goes out very rarely. But he is happy about this change, he feels distressed when he sees Hinata working so hard, trying to get approval from her father.

A lovable little girl like Hinata would be the treasure of any family, don't talk about letting her train so hard, everyone would spoil her. Unfortunately for her, she is born in a ninja family and as an heiress of a big family at that.

Her father is disappointed in her, because of Hinatas lack of talent and weak character. She is simply not suitable to lead the Hyuga clan.

To make up for that, Hinata trains way harder than other children, but to no avail.

Seeing Hinata willing to go out and have some fun with others in the park, the guard is of course happy to accompany her.

Yami, who was observing them from the sidelines, gave mental suggestions to the guard so that he leaves to go to the toilet and simultaneously gave some children the command to bully Hinata.

"Lady Hinata, wait for me here for a moment, I will be right back."

The guard excused himself when he saw Hinata agreeing and left, right then the children also started to surround Hinata.

"Hey, look at this girl, her eyes are so ugly, like a monster."

"Yeah, a Byakugan monster."

Hinata got scared and timid, when she saw the children and squatted on the ground, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Looking at such a cute Hinata, Yami could not bear it any longer and decided that it is time to intervene.

Without talking nonsense, Yami went up to the bullies and just beat them up.

Ten seconds later, all of them were laying on the ground and crying.

"Leave now."

When they heard Yami's words, the children seemed to have gotten amnesty and ran away.

Squatting down in front of Hinata, who is looking at Yami stupidly, he put his hand on her hand and rubbed it gently.

"Why do you not defend yourself? I can see it you are much stronger than them."

Hinata's eyes dimmed when she heard this, she did not want to seem like a coward to the boy, who helped her. Yami of course knows the reason and does not intend to embarrass her anymore.

"Do you not want to hurt them? You are really kind. My name is Yami what is your name?"

Hinata was shocked when she heard him and looked up, only to see Yami smiling at her gently. Her face turned red, she bowed her head timidly and started stuttering.

"I, I, my name is Hinata. Thank, Thank you for helping me."

"Hahaha no problem Hinata. You are really cute, well, I think your guard will be here soon. I hope we will meet again in the future. And Hinata you must be braver. Being brave does not mean, that you have to actively fight people, but being brave in front of others, even if it is just for show, is necessary to protect yourself, okay?"

Saying a few words and taking a last glance at the dazed Hinata, Yami left quickly before the Hinatas guard comes back.

Arriving back at home, Yami wants to see how many points his operation today have brought him.

'Due to the host's actions, the important plot object Hinata Hyuga failed to meet the protagonist in their destined encounter and effectively cuts off the protagonist's chance.

Reward: 1500 points'

'1500 points? Much more than I expected, influencing the protagonist really is the best way to earn points. Let's sleep now, tomorrow I will buy something to enhance my strength.'
