Chapter 19: Return To The Grind 10

The next morning, Daiki made his way to his ever homey training ground a bit earlier than usual, the sun even had only shone the barest hints of beginning to rise and that was only because it was summer.

Not that it would be like that much longer, they were already at the tail end of summer, mind you.

Still, there was a whistle on his lips and spring in his step as he jauntily swaggered his way through the paths between the training grounds towards his destination.

He was in a good mood, for sure. And why wouldn't he be? His abilities were looking sweet as shit, he had an Uchiha who plopped his ass in his training ground every now and then to challenge him to spars and even now would have a cute older girl coming to him for assistance and letting him endear himself to her. And on top of all that, he had a rough plan of action for the future.

Really, everything was coming up Daiki! This was the age of the Great Daiki!

Abruptly, the Great Daiki paused just outside of training ground seven and stared, a somewhat short girl, just around five feet tall, stood hiding behind a tree. Short, midnight blue hair, and porcelain skin, dressed in a large, baggy white jacket and a pair of dark blue shinobi pants.

Hinata Hyuuga was peering around a tree, 'stealthily', bending out just a bit to look into the training ground.

...Well, at the very least, he could see for himself, that like the tree she was hiding behind, with her bent over like that, he could see Hinata had quite the 'trunk' of her own.

'Why the hell doesn't she just use her byakugan?' he couldn't help but wonder. This was precious time in which she could be training, she could at least be training her doujutsu and expending chakra constantly to increase her capacity if she was going to waste time spying on Naruto!

Truly a plebeian to the great grindset!

Honestly, watching her waste her time like that, made his skin crawl a bit. She was a damn kunoichi for crying out loud.

How long had she even been there? He couldn't believe how wasteful that was. Why come to the training grounds, this early, just to spy on a crush, yet never even approach them?

If she was at least using her byakugan to do it, he could let it slide, because, at least some gains would be getting made!

Hinata was almost as much of a disappointment in the ninja arts as Sakura and Ino, only wasn't, because she had superior training than them from her clan.

But considering Hinata was the oldest of his graduating class...

Well, the disappointment only grew.

Come to think of it, besides Daiki himself, Naruto was the youngest of their graduating class.

Did that make Hinata an 'Ara-Ara' type?

Fucking hell she couldn't approach him for a conversation.

A hurt expression flashed on her face, "Ah...I see.." Hinata looked down.

Ah, his chest stung at the expression, and how defeated she looked. And he realised what situation he was in right now. He just kind of approached a lone girl, who was watching over the target of her affections and started lambasting her...

Now he just felt bad, since she really was just a genuinely nice girl. Thankfully, he could fix that.

Hinata yelped as he wrapped an arm around her waist and heaved her up into the air and over his shoulder.

Despite that dump truck she had on her, she was light as a feather. And with her pressed up against him like this, he could get a feel for her chest. She was just as stacked as Tenten, maybe a bit more actually.

She would come across as even more voluptuous he supposed, since she was that much shorter than Tenten.

"W-what are you doing Daiki-san?" Hinata spluttered.

Turning on his heel, Daiki resumed his trek towards the ever welcoming training ground sixty-nine.

"I felt bad with how sad you looked," he shrugged, "So, I'll help you out. You want to be closer to Naruto right? I can make that happen."

"Y-you can?" any hesitancy in her left and she gaped at him, white eyes wide, but he heard the hopefulness in her voice, she swallowed quickly and shook her head, "You...you don't need to do that."

He ignored what she said, "What time do you usually meet your team?" he asked instead.

"...Nine..." Hinata replied.

Plenty enough time, it was only just after five in the morning right now. "Good enough," he nodded, "Also, don't worry about feeling indebted or something or like I'm going out of my way. I'll be getting something out of this as well."

"...You will?" Hinata blinked.

Damn right he would. There were two things he needed to do with her to help her achieve femme fatale ara ara status. One, get her confident in her body and rid her of the shyness, something he already had an idea for.

Secondly, was making Hinata 'Get Gud'. In the process, he would be able to spar against the Gentle Fist of the Hyuuga Clan, which would give him experience in the future with it, should he end up fighting Neji in the Chunin Exams, and again, the more experience he got fighting, with the more variety of opponents, the more his skill stats tended to rise.

So, he'd get gains and he would get free eye candy out of it, a win, win for him really.
