Then, does the [Moon] refer to Hinata? How would she think of using the moon to refer to herself?
The Hinata of right now would definitely not think of her connection to the moon.
In the future, when Ryun accompanies her all the way to the moon, he wondered what kind of expression Hinata would have when she remembers today's events. "Good."
Ryun nodded and said, "A very good name, full of commemorative meaning."
He did not say that he had seen through everything, but his eyes had already made Hinata understand that her feelings had been conveyed.
Hinata slowly turned crimson. Her fingers twisted together as she wanted to say something more.
Hanabi on the side couldn't help but say, "Sister, can you look at your little sister for a moment?"
Only then did Hinata snap out of it and hurriedly check on Hanabi's condition.
Although she had deliberately avoided Hanabi's vital points earlier, that decisive final strike had not held back.
Now Hanabi's trouser leg was already soaked red with blood, a state that looked quite frightening.
No wonder even the strong-willed Hanabi had a sob in her voice.
"Ryun, you can heal her, right?"
Hinata immediately looked at Ryun, who naturally did not hesitate.
Without further discussion, he picked Hanabi up and said, "Where would be more convenient for treatment?"
"Come to my room. It's better not to let others see. Ryun, follow me."
Ryun naturally complied immediately, while the Hanabi in his arms fell into a state of inner conflict.
Hanabi pushed against Ryun's chest with her hands, wanting to keep some distance from him.
But with both legs unable to move, how could she possibly manage that?
After several bouts of jostling and stinging pain, Hanabi finally gave up struggling and allowed herself to press against Ryun's chest.
She felt the warmth of his chest. Was this the feeling her sister was so infatuated with?
Soon, the three of them arrived at Hinata's private room.
"Put Hanabi on my bed."
Ryun was about to do so when Hanabi said, "Just put me on the floor is fine. I can't dirty sister's bedsheets..."
"Hanabi!"
It seemed that winning against Hanabi had made Hinata significantly more assertive.
"Now you listen to your sister, understand?"
Seeing Hanabi still wanting to argue, Hinata continued, "Until you can defeat me, you are not allowed to argue with me about matters concerning your physical health. Be obedient!"
Hanabi stared wide-eyed, then looked at Ryun with a pleading gaze.
Ryun, smiling warmly, said, "Isn't this the sister you wanted most? Enjoy it."
Hanabi puffed out her cheeks, putting on an aggrieved expression.
But watching her sister bustling around for her, Hanabi felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and even the pain in her leg didn't seem so bad anymore. Unfortunately, that illusion was quickly shattered.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Hanabi screamed, raising her hand to hit Ryun because he was using a chakra scalpel to cut open her trousers.
Ryun did not dodge or avoid the attack. He merely gestured with his chin towards Hinata, who was preparing a change of clothes for her sister, and Hanabi immediately lost her temper.
"Can't... can't you be more gentle!"
"Actually, I could knock you out. You'd wake up healthy. Want to try?"
Hanabi shook her head and said softly, "I can endure it."
As for the reason for enduring, Hanabi looked at Hinata's back. Clearly, she didn't want today's interaction with her sister to end just yet.
Ryun then quietly began to treat Hanabi's injuries.
Although the chakra threads had pierced through Hanabi's legs, the threads were intangible after all, and Hinata had avoided the vital points.
Using the Mystical Palm Technique, Ryun had Hanabi regain mobility in just two minutes.
"So... so amazing!"
Hanabi exclaimed in shock, moving her legs, her slender toes curling flexibly. She had thought she wouldn't be able to go to school tomorrow.
"Don't move around, it's not finished yet."
Ryun then pressed on the acupoints on Hanabi's body that Hinata had attacked. The red, swollen points soon regained circulation.
Feeling the smooth flow of chakra within her body and experiencing Ryun's strong yet warm Yang Release chakra, Hanabi felt a warm, comfortable feeling all over. Her gaze towards Ryun also became friendlier.
Although he might take her sister away, Hanabi had to admit her sister had good taste in choosing a brother-in-law.
"Hanabi is so well-behaved. I thought you wouldn't let Ryun touch your body."
Hinata, holding the clothes, whispered a tease, earning an annoyed look from Hanabi.
Suddenly, Hanabi's eyes shifted, as if she thought of something, and a smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
She beckoned Ryun closer. When he leaned down, she whispered in his ear, "Later, when you treat sister, I'll hold her arms. I hit her under the arms twice."
Ryun looked blankly at Hanabi, who was excitedly planning to sell out her own sister, and gave her a thumbs up. Truly worthy of being Konoha's number one most adorable little sister-in-law.
Hanabi hummed twice, quite pleased with Ryun's praise.
Hinata on the side looked puzzled. How had Hanabi and Ryun gotten so close?
Three minutes later, she understood.
"Eh? I... I don't need it!"
Hinata was pinned down on the bed by Hanabi. Her outer coat was pulled off by Hanabi, revealing a figure whose combat power was almost double that of her peers.
Hinata's body became as hot as a boiled shrimp, almost screaming.
At that moment, Hanabi poked the red spots under Hinata's arms. Hinata flinched in pain and her body began to tremble, finally quieting down. "See, Ryun... Ryun-onii-chan [Ryun-brother], if I didn't tell you, sister would definitely not let you treat here."
"I could find a medical ninja from the clan..."
Hinata tried one last resistance, but Hanabi said, "Do you want father to know we injured each other?"
That silenced Hinata completely. She closed her eyes, adopting a posture of letting Ryun do as he wished.
Ryun sighed quietly. If this were five years later, he would definitely spend a whole night savoring this beautiful scene before him.
As for now... it was better to be cautious.
What if Hiashi Hyūga burst in the next second?
He picked up a bandage, tied it over his eyes, took Hanabi's hand, and said, "You guide me to the location."
Hanabi was slightly taken aback, looking at Ryun with surprise. She hadn't expected him to be such a gentleman.
Then she pinched Ryun's palm hard and said, "Why weren't you like this when treating me?"
"Because you're just a kid. Where would you feel shy?"
"Mean! And I even called you Ryun-onii-chan!"
Hanabi kicked Ryun's leg twice with her small foot, but still seriously guided Ryun's hand to begin treating Hinata.
Hinata opened her eyes at this moment. Seeing Ryun's appearance, an expression of gratitude flashed across her face.
Clearly, Ryun cared for her so much, yet she was causing him trouble.
She must thank Ryun properly again later.
Under the combined efforts of Ryun and Hanabi, Hinata recovered her health in no time.
But watching her occasionally touch under her arms, she would probably find it hard to forget the sensation of being touched by Ryun. "Since both of you are fine now, I should take my leave."
Ryun turned around to untie the bandage and said, "It's not really appropriate for me to stay here. When you two have time, you can come find me to play anytime."
"Great!"
Hinata didn't react, but Hanabi spoke first, "Ryun-onii-chan, I'll see you out."
Hanabi pulled Ryun, wanting to run off. Hinata quickly said, "Hanabi, change your clothes first."
Hanabi looked down and realized she was still wearing the bloodstained trousers.
She stuck out her tongue, quickly took the clothes and ran into the bathroom. When she came out, she was once again the energetic Hanabi.
Seeing Hanabi so full of vitality, Hinata felt a moment of disbelief.
Was this still the unsmiling little sister from her impression, who besides going to school and sleeping, spent all her time training, almost like a doll?
Hinata's lips moved slightly. Watching Ryun's departing back, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Ryun-onii-chan, can you teach me that move?"
As soon as they left Hinata's room, Hanabi's purpose was laid bare.
She wouldn't be sad about losing to Hinata, but she would absolutely not accept losing to others. At her core, Hanabi also had a very competitive personality.
"Sure. But why not learn from Hinata?"
"If I learn from sister, wouldn't she still have to ask you first?"
Ryun nodded. That was indeed true.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then tell Hinata later that the technique, Gentle Fist Art: [True Moon Style], is hers from now on. She can teach it to anyone, even including everyone in the Hyūga clan."
Hanabi looked at Ryun in shock, her expression wanting to say something but hesitating, which puzzled Ryun. "What do you want to say?"
"Ryun-onii-chan, are you trying to pursue my sister by doing this?"
