Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Hinata’s Dragon Roar; Hiashi Hyuga: Is it too late to regret handing my daughter over to this guy?

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 999 points of negative emotion from a Root Special Jonin!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 999 points of negative emotion from a Root Special Jonin!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained...

So the first thing out of your mouth is to insult our mothers?

You little punk where are your manners!

Hearing Ye Wudi's "polite" greeting, the five Root Special Jonin all looked like they were grinding their teeth into powder. If they weren't at a disadvantage right now, they would've long since attacked just to teach this kid why roses bloom red.

"..."

While the Root shinobi were busy gnashing their teeth, Hiashi Hyuga and the others quickly turned their heads away, pretending not to see a thing.

Because at this very moment, the three ANBU were staring right at them.

Their looks seemed to ask 

So this is the kind of son-in-law your clan raised? Really? This… quality?

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 666 points of negative emotion from the Hyuga Clan Elder!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained negative emotion from Hiashi Hyuga…

Even the Hyuga elder was starting to falter now, his old face twitching uncomfortably.

"Ahem… Hiashi, that boy Wudi… his manners really aren't up to scratch. What do we do now?"

Hiashi coughed, trying to stay composed. "It's fine. Sure, he's our son-in-law, but he's not a Hyuga by blood. As long as Hinata stays on the right path, it's all good."

"Besides, he only 'greeted' those who tried to attack him. That proves his heart isn't bad. It's just a little... colorful. No big deal."

The Elder nodded thoughtfully.

"You've got a point."

But just as Hiashi finished persuading the Elder 

Ye Wudi decided to stir the pot again.

This time… he even dragged Hinata into it!

Before everyone's eyes, Ye Wudi pulled Hinata into his arms.

Then, gently taking her soft, boneless hand, he turned to the five Root Special Jonin and calmly raised his middle finger.

"Come on, Hinata. Say it with me now. Screw your whole damn family!"

"Eh? Wudi-nii… that sounds kinda like a bad word. A-Are you sure I can say it?"

Hinata blinked her big eyes innocently, looking up at Ye Wudi with childlike confusion.

Ye Wudi just smiled warmly and pinched her cheek with tender affection.

"Hinata's such a good girl. So polite. But think about it should we be polite to people who try to kill us?"

"Like those three earlier. They tried to hurt me and my sweet little Hinata. People like that… do they deserve courtesy?"

"Mm…"

Hinata touched her flushed cheek with one finger, eyes thoughtful. After a few moments of silence, she nodded resolutely.

"You're right! We should be polite to good people. But bad people don't deserve it at all!"

"Good girl."

Ye Wudi ruffled her soft hair affectionately.

Hinata's cheeks turned redder than a ripe peach, so flushed it looked like she might start dripping juice.

"Wudi-nii… my head feels fuzzy… w-wow… look at all the stars in the sky…"

Seeing her about to pass out, Ye Wudi knew he had to strike while the iron was hot.

If she fainted, how could she politely greet their enemies' families?

How could he keep farming emotion points from these Root dogs and the Hyuga crowd?

"Come on, Hinata. Say it loud with me. Screw your whole damn family!"

"O-Okay! Hinata… s-screw… your… fa-fa… mily… yaaah!"

And just before she completely blacked out, Hinata finally managed to repeat the beautifully "polite" phrase, word for word, under Ye Wudi's one-on-one coaching.

Ye Wudi smiled in satisfaction.

Same phrase, same words but when it came out of adorable little Hinata's mouth, it somehow sounded like a ferocious dragon's roar.

Raaaaawr~ Raaaawr~ Meow...

Yes, that's my wife.

Even when she's cussing someone's whole family, she's still the cutest thing in the world.

The moment Hinata finished the sentence and passed out, the entire battlefield fell silent.

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 999 points of negative emotion from a Root Special Jonin!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 999 points of negative emotion from the Hyuga Clan Elder!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained negative emotion from the Hyuga clan's bodyguards…

Hearing the system constantly ringing in his head, Ye Wudi couldn't stop grinning.

What a beautiful sound. So crisp. So melodious.

I love it.

Meanwhile, Hiashi Hyuga stared down at the unconscious Hinata in his arms, his face blank with disbelief.

"Such… a wonderfully polite son-in-law. Is it too late to change my mind about him?"

"Clan Head… I'm afraid… it is too late. After all these years, the young lady seems quite… attached."

"Attached, huh? Right. Totally attached."

Ye Wudi…

You damn star-star-star-star!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 999 points of negative emotion from Hiashi Hyuga!

As Hiashi and the others fed Ye Wudi more and more negative emotion points, the Root Special Jonin finally reached their breaking point.

Especially the team captain whose two teammates had already been disabled. He could take no more.

Snarling, he grabbed his sword and charged straight at Ye Wudi.

"You damn bastard! You think you can keep spewing garbage like that and get away with it?!"

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've gained 999 points of negative emotion from a Root Special Jonin!

Whoosh!

In full view of everyone, the Special Jonin lunged at Ye Wudi.

The ANBU and Hyuga Elder reacted instantly.

Yes, Ye Wudi's mouth was a little too polite, but their mission was to protect him. That hadn't changed.

Just as both squads prepared to act, Ye Wudi's lips curled into a knowing smile.

"I was being honest with you, and you still don't believe me? Unbelievable."

"After I let my wife politely greet you like that, you're still angry? Seriously, what's wrong with you people?"

In the next instant, the Root Special Jonin who had come in swinging 

Froze in place.

Because the three ANBU now had kunai pressed against his neck, waist, and, well… the most fragile part of his body.

His four remaining teammates? All restrained by the Hyuga Elder's forces.

Gulp. Gulp.

Staring down the blades at his throat, the Root Jonin finally released his sword and raised both hands.

"I… I won't fight anymore! Just let us go. Let's all pretend tonight never happened, yeah?"

"You people know we'd rather die than be taken. You won't get anything out of us, anyway "

Bonk!

Before he could finish threatening them, Ye Wudi grabbed a brick and smacked it down on his skull.

Smack! Crack! Slam!

After a good dozen hits, the guy lay face-down on the ground.

Motionless. Life status: unclear.

"So damn weak, and still trying to act tough in front of me?"

"And the worst part scaring my cute little Hinata so badly she fainted!"

"Hmph. Serves you right."

Then Ye Wudi turned toward the four remaining Root shinobi still being held.

He smiled.

Warmly. Kindly. Horrifyingly.

"I hear you people are real quick to commit suicide when things go south?"

"I've never seen that in person before. Go on, then. Show me."

"The stage is yours give me a performance. Don't be shy. One at a time. Step up and start the show."
