The next day.
Hiashi's family, who gave birth to a daughter, is beaming. Almost all Hyuga Clan's branch house members brought their family to congratulate him. People come and go, making the atmosphere very lively.
Kanpū, who was huddled in the bed, was awakened by the noisy sound coming from next door. Thinking that today is his day-off, he fell asleep again as soon as he closed his eyes.
"Big brother! Big brother!!! Hiashi Uncle's house is so lively."
Hayate, who was on New Year's holiday, ran in from the door of the mansion, stepped on the wooden corridor to Kanpū's bedroom, and pushed open the sliding door.
In an instant, the cold wind rolled up a large number of falling snowflakes and swarmed in. The quilt seal on Kanpū's body became stronger and stronger, suppressing him to the futon firmly!
"Big brother, get up." Hayate reached out to pull the quilt.
Kanpū was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to slap Hayate's hand, and said angrily: "Smelly Hayate, close the door."
"Oh."
Hayate rubbed his hands, turned around to close the sliding door, then ran over and sat down next to the futon, and said with bright eyes, "Big brother, Aunt Keiko said that Uncle Hiashi has a baby. Shall we go to their house to look at the baby?"
'Yes, of course!'
'As expected of my little brother, he can think of what I think and be anxious about what I am anxious about!'
'But the quilt seal is the strongest seal, and a forced breakthrough may cause physical discomfort.' Kanpū thought about it and decided to wait for the sun to shine at noon before breaking out from the seal!
However, during this time, his energy needs to be replenished, so Kanpū said seriously, "Hayate, go to the kitchen to get some food."
Hayate nodded, and quickly formed a shadow clone with his clean hand seal, and told him to go to the kitchen to get food.
Seeing this, Kanpū was extremely pleased: "You're already able to create shadow clone?"
Hayate raised his head proudly: "Of course, I'm the best student in our class!"
Kanpū knew that the younger brother's class was full of extra, so he changed the topic directly: "How about the Body Revival Technique's training?"
Hayate's head drooped suddenly "Barely, it's just that the time to refine chakra is faster now, and my physical strength is better, but there seems to be nothing special in other aspects."
He remembered that when his big brother trained the Body Revival Technique, he became stronger every day. Not only did he graduate early, but he also went to battlefield to make contributions and changed it to this big house. But after training it himself, he realized that the effect was not at all as powerful as he imagined. Naturally, he was a little depressed, so he didn't notice the surprise in Kanpū's eyes.
Although Hayate spent several years preparing before training, he successfully trained Body Revival Technique without Kanpū's guidance, and improves his cell activity, which is enough to prove Hayate's excellent talent.
'In time, Hayate's future will definitely be not limited to Tokubetsu-Jonin!'
'As expected of my little brother!'
But he can't make him proud or discouraged, so Kanpū said earnestly: "Hayate, training is a persistent thing. Don't be impatient. Don't always think about reaching the sky in one step. You can't aim too high, you also can't aim too low, you can't be arrogant, you can't be complacent, you can't fall in love early, you can't…"
"Big brother, the onigiri is here." There was a sound from outside the sliding door, and Kanpū's speech was interrupted.
Hayate dismissed the shadow clone and walked in with a small plate. On it were three seaweed rice balls, with only a trace of residual heat left.
Kanpū didn't dislike it, and eat them in one bite at a time.
After eating and wiping his mouth, Kanpū hid the part below his neck firmly under the quilt, and asked: "Where was I just now?"
Hayate blinked his eyes twice, and said heavily: "Big brother, you just finished talking!"
"Really?" Kanpū didn't believe it.
"It's really finished." Hayate smiled brightly.
"Oh."
Kanpū yawned, "Then I will go to sleep first."
Hayate nodded repeatedly, and quickly ran out of the bedroom.
After walking far away, Hayate suddenly felt something strange, something was wrong.
...
At noon.
Kanpū broke out of the seal on time. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he found Hoshino and Hayate are making onigiri in the kitchen.
"It's onigiri again…" Kanpū misses the crayfish a little.
Hoshino created an irregularly-shaped onigiri with his left hand, glanced at Kanpū, and said: "Don't you want to eat it?"
Kanpū smiled politely: "Yes."
After eating onigiri in a harmonious atmosphere, Hayate once again proposed to visit the baby the next door.
Hoshino thought that as a neighbor, he should really care about it, so he made a box of grotesquely shaped onigiri and wrapped it in a beautiful bento box, ready to give it as a gift.
Kanpū didn't want to follow along for a moment, but he was afraid that Hiashi would blacklist their family after unpacking the bento, and cut off contact with them in the future, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
As a neighbor, Hoshino got into Hiashi's house smoothly. Under the lead of a branch house's clansman, he walked along the wooden corridor towards the reception room.
Along the way, Kanpū met many members of the Hyuga Clan's branch house, including some children, who looked extremely fair, innocent, and cute, but they already knew people's face, so Kanpū was very cautious and did not collect these people recklessly.
"Hoshino-kun, Kanpū, Hayate, you are here."
Outside the reception room, Hizashi looked at Kanpū's group of three from the distance, and greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Hiashi, congratulations." Hoshino stepped forward with a beautifully packed bento box.
"That… Hoshino-kun, I am Hizashi." Hizashi said expressionlessly.
Hoshino's smile didn't disappear: "You two brothers look exactly the same, I can't tell the difference at all, hahaha, I'm sorry."
After exchanging a few words with Hizashi, Hoshino followed Hizashi into the reception room. As for Kanpū and Hayate, he followed another Hyuga Clan's member to meet Hinata in the inner room.
The inner room is heavily guarded, and there are eight Hyuga's Shinobi guarding the corridor along the way, and it is unknown how many there are in secret.
And all this is because Hinata is the next generation of the main house!
After entering the inner room, Kanpū and Hayate successfully met Hinata, who was still very small.
At this time, Hinata was born less than a day ago, so her whole body was wrinkled, and she looked very…
"So ugly." Hayate said straightforwardly.
Hearing this, several Hyuga Clan's women, who were circling around Hinata suddenly raised their eyebrows coldly, and Hayate subconscious shrank behind Kanpū.
"Hayate, newborn babies are all like this, please apologize." Kanpū said while observing Hinata.
Hinata is now sleeping soundly. Her small mouth opens and closes from time to time, squeezing out some foamy saliva.
Taking advantage of Hayate bowing his head to apologize to those women, Kanpū silently threw the Collection Technique at Hinata.
The green light cluster in his mind surged for an instant, and then slowly subsided.
'Failed?'
'Kanpū was startled.'
'The success rate of collecting baby should be the highest besides corpse, why now…'
Just as he's thinking of this, Hinata suddenly burst into tears.
"Oh, it's time for breastfeeding."
"Hinata-chan is so pitiful, she must be starving."
"Hinata-chan is also so cute when she cries~"
While speaking, the group of women drove out Kanpū and Hayate quickly.
'My Byakugan…'
Kanpū was depressed for a while.
'Isn't it just breastfeeding? I'm still young, so why drive me out?'
Kanpū swallowed his saliva… 'Not to mention, I'm really looking forward to it.'
"Big brother, you don't even speak for me."
After coming out, Hayate looked at Kanpū, who was 'wanting to see through', with a resentful expression on his face.
After he apologized just now, he was educated fiercely by these women, as evidenced by their saliva on his face!
Kanpū gave him a sideways look and immediately took out his wallet: "Big brother will compensate you."
"Big brother, I don't want your money…"
Hayate said and took the initiative to help Kanpū open his wallet, but the resentful expression on his face had been replaced by anticipation at some point.
Drawing out a few papers with a face value of 10,000 ryo, Hayate immediately rushed out excitedly: "Big brother, I will go to play with little sister Yugao!"
Kanpū sighed. He remembered that in childhood, he only needed two words of praise or encouragement to make Hayate happy or cheer up, but now that Hayate has grown up, Kanpū knows that the power of words alone can no longer make him happy.
'Alas.'
Walking out of the inner room, Kanpū walked back along the wooden corridor and glanced inside the reception room. He saw Hoshino talking with Hiashi and several elderly Hyuga Clan's people, so he didn't bother them, and walked straight outside. Along the way, he saw several Hyuga Clan's children playing games by the wall, and Kanpū's step stopped.
'Without Hinata, can't I just get these kids?'
Kanpū hid behind a pillar on the corridor and carefully observed the smiles on the faces of these children.
'Well, that little brat with a runny nose has the strongest smile, it'll be you!'
A Collection Technique was thrown out, and the green light cluster in Kanpū's mind surged instantly, and within a short while, a light blue dot was ejected.
'Blue?'
Kanpū was stunned, and he quickly wrapped it with his consciousness, and found that it was actually… Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (Incomplete)!
'With such a runny nose, you have already started to learn Gentle Fist?'
'Are you a pig pretending to be tiger?'
Kanpū stared at him in a daze, feeling speechless.
After a while, Kanpū set his target on a little girl who was about four years old. At first glance, she was simple-minded who only knew how to play and he knew that she was a good child!
Kanpū threw out today's last Collection Technique.
The green light cluster in his mind surged again, and after a while, it finally shot out a pale red stardust.
Kanpū feels comfortable instantly.
'This trip was finally not in vain, and now Byakugan is only two stardusts away from being able to fuse!
Kanpū is very excited.
When walking out of the gate of Hiashi's mansion, Kanpū saw a group of familiar figures from the distance. The leader was none other than Danzo, and behind him are two Root's Shinobi.
"Danzo-sama."
Kanpū walked over quietly, "You also come to congratulate?"
Danzo turned his head, his left eye looked at Kanpū with no emotion.
Danzo did not speak, and walked straight into Hiashi's mansion, passing through Kanpū.
Obviously, after a series of incidents, Danzo has determined that Kanpū is in Hokage's faction and he does not want to pretend to be polite with him anymore.
Kanpū was not annoyed by this, and continued walking after greeting Danzo, but after taking a few steps, he was shocked.
'Just now… Danzo's right hand…'
Kanpū turned his head suddenly and saw Danzo's left hand hanging down naturally, but his right hand was retracted in the kimono.
'Could it be…'
Danzo seemed to notice Kanpū's gaze and turned his head expressionlessly.
Kanpū hurriedly looked away from his right hand.
"Kanpū!!!"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind.
'Anko?'
Kanpū turned his head and looked around, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.
