The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"The Third Hokage and Kushina-sama are similar; both secretly recuperated from their injuries and later left the village on some classified missions. So everyone, you can all leave now. The Hokage is waiting for your performance!" After a brief explanation, Shikaku spoke again, "Everyone, we absolutely must teach Iwagakure a lesson!"

"Yes!" As Shikaku finished speaking, the surrounding ninjas immediately dispersed.

"Phew, thank you so much, Shikaku." Minato Namikaze also breathed a sigh of relief, having been the focus of everyone's attention the whole time.

Those eyes held excitement, tension, doubt, hostility, bewilderment, and suspicion...

In short, he felt very uncomfortable being watched.

But because they had just been resurrected and were unsure of the situation, they dared not speak up or talk to anyone.

Most of the surrounding ninjas dared not, even though Minato Hadouken was known for his gentleness and affability, making him a veritable succubus of the ninja world and nicknamed "Little Sun."

But the sun is warm when you're far away, and scorching when you're too close. Among the onlookers, very few would naturally approach Minato Namikaze for a chat.

So the onlookers could only stare silently at Minato Namikaze, which made the poor man very uncomfortable.

"Fourth Hokage, you're too kind!" Looking at the shy Fourth Hokage in front of him, Shikaku's eyes were filled with excitement.

When Kushina suddenly appeared, he felt that the Fourth Hokage, his close friend Minato Namikaze, might also reappear.

However, his premonition has now come true!

"Shikaku, it's been a long time!" Minato Namikaze greeted him with a gentle smile. "You're still the same. There's really no need to be so formal!"

"It really has been a long time..." Shikaku said with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Minato-sensei~" the shadow clone said with a smile.

"White Moon... are you a shadow clone?" Although it was a question, Minato Namikaze's tone was very certain.

"Yes, that's right!" After waving casually, the shadow clone strode towards the operating room, leaving himself as a backup: "You guys chat, I'll go check on the situation."

"Hmm." Nodding, she watched the shadow clone enter the operating room. Although she really wanted to have a good chat with Bai Yue, there was no need to talk to her since it was just a shadow clone.

The original is the original, and the shadow clone is the shadow clone; this concept is almost universally accepted in the ninja world. This is especially true for shadow clones that are not specifically created for a particular purpose.

After the shadow clone entered the operating room, Minato Namikaze immediately turned to Shikaku: "Shikaku, has something big happened again recently?"

"Yes, the Cloud Village recently declared war on us, and then we took the opportunity to declare war on the Iwa Village, which was making some unusual moves," Shikaku said simply and casually.

"???" Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze was filled with question marks.

I felt like I must have misheard!

Isn't Konoha always on the defensive, only launching defensive wars? Why are they launching a war against Iwagakure?

And it wasn't targeting the Cloud Ninja who had declared war, but rather the Iwa Ninja who had only made some unusual moves!

This is truly amazing!

"Recently, the Fifth Hokage, your disciple Hakugetsu-sama, has been very active, single-handedly conquering Sunagakure and Kirigakure. Currently, only Iwagakure and Kumogakure remain among the Five Great Shinobi Villages," Shikaku said excitedly. The shinobi world, which has been embroiled in conflict for hundreds of years since the Warring States period, may finally see some peace, perhaps even a lasting one.

Just thinking about it makes Shikaku incredibly excited.

"???" Minato Namikaze was even more bewildered. He hadn't thought Shikaku would lie to him, and was utterly dumbfounded. His words seemed like gibberish, completely incomprehensible! Only one thought occupied his mind: White Moon! It's that powerful?!

Memories of the past surfaced in his mind.

When they first met, he delivered a powerful speech: "The caged bird of the branch family is etched on the forehead, while the caged bird of the main family is etched in the heart." It was because of this statement that he agreed to take Bai Yue as his disciple.

And in the days that followed, Kushina continued to praise him as a genius in sealing techniques…

"Shikaku, how is the Hyuga clan doing now?!"

"The Hyuga clan seems to have been revitalized, full of vitality!" Recalling the Hyuga clan, especially the smiles on the faces of the branch family members, Shikaku, who had a vague guess, immediately said, "The Caged Bird Seal has most likely been broken."

"That's wonderful!" Minato Namikaze's smile grew even brighter!

"Now..." Minato Namikaze, who was genuinely proud of Hakugetsu, kept asking about what had happened during his absence.

Shikaku kept answering, while Kushina and Naruto occasionally added details that Shikaku didn't know.

For example, Naruto said: "Baiyue has a terrible personality and often does things that cause headaches."

In contrast, Kushina was itching to share some of Naruto's embarrassing moments that Hakugetsu had collected with her beloved...

The atmosphere outside the operating room was 'peaceful', but inside the operating room, the tension was immense.

Tsunade and "White Moon" entered one after the other, making Shizune and Skui very nervous.

Especially Skui, Baiyue's former classmate and little fangirl, would probably have fainted from anxiety if it weren't for the fact that she still had Jiraiya, a seriously injured patient, and the constant urging of her duty and obligation as a medical ninja.

"Yo, Skull, it's been a long time..." The shadow clone teased Skull with a carefree attitude.

It seems to be Bai Yue's oversight that this shadow clone stationed in Konoha is acting rather recklessly.

Not to mention Skui, even Baiyue's new secretary, Uzuki Yugao, gets teased by this shadow clone from time to time.

Based on this shadow clone's idea, it probably wants to find more beautiful girls for the real body.

"Bai...Baiyue-sama..." Skui's little hand trembled, almost handing over the wrong surgical instrument, and her little face immediately turned rosy.

"If you're here to interfere with the treatment, then please leave!" Tsunade said coldly, her eyes closed.

"At least I'm still awake, unlike some people who enter the operating room with their eyes closed and try to direct the attending physician. How arrogant!" the shadow clone mocked directly.

"you!!!"

"What's wrong with me?" Bai Yue had never spoiled Tsunade before, let alone her elusive shadow clones who liked to add more members to the Crystal Palace for the main body. She certainly wouldn't tolerate her: "What? You really want Jiraiya to die that badly?!"

"asshole!"

"Isn't that right?" Facing the enraged Tsunade, the shadow clone said calmly, "What I saw with my own eyes is completely different from the scenario simulated in my mind. If Shizune, my little cutie, made any oversight and reported it to you, and then that blindfolded divine doctor arrogantly threw out a treatment plan... tsk tsk..."
