The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

As Shikaku arranged for his personnel to register these elite Kirigakure ninja one by one, they were assigned to suitable departments or even pure combat ninjas based on their individual characteristics.

"Mr. Shikaku, could you answer a question for me?" Mei Terumi asked immediately after watching all the Mist Ninja disperse and leave.

"If I knew, I would tell you everything."

"Why do I feel like the Hokage has some issues with our Kirigakure?" This question kept lingering in her mind.

The more she thought about the so-called psychological warfare, the more she felt something was wrong. At least a few words should have been exchanged during a psychological warfare session.

How can you force them directly? Aren't you afraid they'll harbor resentment?

"It's probably because of the Byakugan killer, Ao." Shikaku thought for a moment and gave his guess: "The Byakugan he stole belonged to Hyuga Hikari, who was the Hokage's father."

"…………" Mei Terumi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: Luckily, she surrendered early, otherwise the Hokage might have suddenly become enraged and activated both of the terrifying ninjutsu.

So, their Hokage wasn't so bad! At least he controlled his anger.

It's a pity about Qing.

There was no way she could save his life; after all, how could she easily forgive someone who had killed her father?

We should be grateful that Ao's actions didn't cause the Hokage to take his anger out on the entire Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi was still saddened by Ao's death. But that's how ninjas are—it's either you kill me or I kill you, which is why hatred accumulates and they become entangled with each other!

For example, the Mist Ninja, for various reasons, have even fought with the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja, who are the furthest away! And they almost beat a dog's brain out.

Thank goodness Bai Yue isn't here, otherwise I'd be speechless.

He had no feelings for those adoptive parents, otherwise Kushina wouldn't have been the first person to be resurrected.

On the other side, Bai Yue, upon returning home, immediately arranged to invite Hiashi, the old clan leader, and even Hyuga Mu to come over, and then went directly to the old man's courtyard.

"Grandpa~" Baiyue greeted Hyuga Jin, who was leisurely sipping tea.

"Bai Yue, it's been so long since you've visited Grandpa." The old man was slightly displeased that Bai Yue rarely visited him, but this displeasure vanished immediately upon seeing Bai Yue. How could a grandfather be angry with his own grandson? Not to mention that Bai Yue was truly outstanding!

"I've retrieved that Byakugan." With that, Bai Yue took out the sealed Byakugan.

With a crack, the teacup in the old man's hand fell to the ground.

He stood up blankly, staring at the white eye in Bai Yue's hand.

"Huoguang, my child..." The old man was in tears. His child, whose eyes had been taken away, had now been taken back by his beloved grandson!

That Byakugan is a disgrace to the Hyuga clan and a testament to his grief over losing his son!

"Firelight..." Tears streamed down his face as he murmured in a deep voice, moving step by step toward Bai Yue, gently cupping the white eye in his hands, and the old man burst into tears.

"Grandpa, please stop crying..." He sighed; he was the worst at comforting people.

For others, his way of comforting them was to give them a couple of light punches to lull them into a sweet dream, assuring them that once they were asleep, they wouldn't be sad anymore.

But the person in front of me with tears streaming down his face is my own father; how can I offer him such a direct form of comfort?

Just as Bai Yue was racking her brains trying to figure out how to comfort him, Ri Zu and the others arrived.

"Lord Hokage, what has made you summon us in such a hurry?" The old clan chief asked with a stiff bow.

"…………" That's just how the Hyuga clan is, he said helplessly. "I got my Byakugan back. Now, I'd like to ask you all to help comfort the old man."

"What! The Byakugan in the Mist Ninja's hands has been taken back?!" The group was overjoyed.

Since the abolition of the Caged Bird Seal, their biggest worry has been the Byakugan that was taken from them by the Mist Ninja more than a decade ago.

Now everything is fine. Whether it's the caged bird or the lost Byakugan, all the worries of the Hyuga clan are gone!

"Cough cough!" Bai Yue coughed twice and pointed to the old man who was still grieving.

"Leave it to me." The old clan chief immediately stepped forward, and Hyuga Mu followed suit.

Does this old clan chief, this relic of the past, really know how to comfort people?

Bai Yue had some questions.

Oh well, at least there's the rather unconventional Hyuga Muku who went up with us.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

"As expected of you, Hokage!" Hiashi and his father were practically cut from the same cloth, or rather, eighty percent of the Hyuga clan were like that.

"Sigh." Looking helplessly at her future father-in-law, she figured that if this guy wanted to change, he'd probably have to wait until Hinata had a child before he could turn into a facial expression monster.

"Uncle Hiashi, I don't think we need to be so formal with each other." He shrugged, genuinely speechless.

"This..." Hiashi frowned slightly. Compared to his usual stern face, his current conflicted expression actually added a bit of... popularity to him?

"Alright, do as you please. I have something to do, I'm leaving now." With a four-click combo, Bai Yue immediately ran away.

Instead of returning to his personal recliner, he went straight back to the Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama!" Shikaku's eyes lit up when he saw Hakuyue appear. He thought he wouldn't see Hakuyue today, but unexpectedly, the Hokage-sama suddenly appeared in the Hokage Building.

"What is it now?!" The look in his eyes as he looked at Shikaku already revealed a hint of 'murderous intent'.

If this guy doesn't have anything important to report, then let dear Lady Nara go to the Kabuki theater to find poor Mr. Shikaku.

Oops!

Bai Yue's unfriendly gaze immediately made Shikaku wonder, "Hokage-sama, the annexation of Kirigakure into Konoha is such a big deal. Shouldn't it be formally announced tomorrow?"

"Why bother with all this trouble? Just put up a notice." Bai Yue said helplessly.

"Isn't this a bit hasty?" After all, Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages, was subdued by the Hokage and incorporated into Konoha. Such a big event is just a public announcement?

Fewer words mean a bigger problem, right?!

"You can handle it yourself. Don't bother me while I'm resting." With that, Bai Yue put her legs up on the desk, then lay back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.

"You little brat, are you slacking off again?" Mitokado En looked at Shikaku with a sly expression.

That kid is too cunning.

"Here it comes..." Shikaku shook his head helplessly.

Seriously, everything looks dirty to people with heart conditions!

He had no intention of slacking off this time! After all, the annexation of Kirigakure into Konoha was indeed a major event.
