The next morning when Kabuto got up and washed up, he suddenly remembered something.
Although he said that he wanted to invite Hanayo to have a lunch together, he had never been to Hanayo's house and did not know where Hanayo lived.
However, this was not a big deal. As far as he knew, Hyuga Clan would live in the same neighbourhood like Uchiha Clan did.
Compared to finding Hanayo's home, it was undoubtedly much easier to search for Hyuga Clan's residence. Hyuga Clan was a famous Clan in Konoha, too.
He could just ask where Hanayo's house was once he was in Hyuga Clan's neighbourhood.
Kabuto eventually found the Hyuga Clan's neighbourhood after doing as he planned. Then after asking one of the Hyuga Clan who were taking a walk around, he found out the exact location of Hanayo's house.
Hyuga Clan's houses were different from most of the houses he saw in the streets of Konoha. Kabuto only felt that they were somewhat similar to some of the aristocratic courtyards in the history books, giving him a very imposing vibe.
Kabuto followed the direction of the Hyuga Clan he ran into earlier and arrived at Hanayo's home.
"Is Hyuga Hanayo home?" Kabuto asked the person who opened the door.
It was a young woman wearing a kimono with silky black hair.
Rin Hyuga looked at Kabuto's height and felt that Kabuto should be Hanayo's classmate. However, Kabuto had a forehead protector, so he had obviously become a Shinobi.
"Are you Kabuto Yakushi?" Rin Hyuga boldly guessed.
Hanayo had told Rin Hyuga many things.
Therefore, Rin Hyuga knew that Hanayo had a very talented friend who had graduated in the first grade.
"I am Hanayo's mother. She is not at home. She should be in the middle of training."
"Yes, I am Kabuto Yakushi." Kabuto nodded and said, "When will she come back?"
If Hanayo came back within two hours, Kabuto would wait. If she wouldn't, then he'd ask Hanayo's mother to relay his message to her.
Today's weather was so good. It would be a waste not to practice in such a day. Hadn't it been to invite Hanayo, Kabuto would have been practicing in the Special Combat Division.
"She usually practices until noon before coming back. Hanayo is a hardworking child." Rin Hyuga said after thinking for a while.
"Noon? Then auntie, can you tell her that I want to invite her to a party. It will be held around three o'clock in the afternoon. If she agrees, she can wait for me at the shopping district."
Kabuto almost regretted saying it as he could use that much time for practice.
"Auntie? Am I that old? You have to call me big sis." Rin Hyuga said with her hands on her hips.
Kabuto:...
Hanayo's mother was quite strange. Shouldn't he comment on him inviting Hanayo? Why did she focus more on the way he addressed her?
However, Kabuto had seen quite a few strange people. In fact, he even slept under the same roof with one. Thus, Kabuto was able to maintain his calm.
"Then please tell Hanayo, big sis."
Kabuto immediately changed his tone and called Rin Hyuga big sis as she requested.
His experience told him that he must not argue with a weirdo. He just had to go along with her.
"See? You can do it if you try." Rin Hyuga was in a good mood.
"However, it's better for you to tell Hanayo in person. I will go and call Hanayo back." Rin Hyuga said.
"Then I'll have to trouble big sister." Kabuto nodded.
"Make yourself at home. I will bring Hanayo back soon." Rin Hyuga said as she walked out.
Kabuto took up Rin Hyuga's offer and took off his shoes. Then, he walked into the room and sat down in the hall. He quietly waited for Hanayo to arrive.
After a while, Hanayo eventually returned.
At this moment, Hanayo was still wearing a gray training suit.
Hanayo panted lightly, then greeted Kabuto, "Kabuto, I'm sorry. I was practicing just now, so I wasn't at home."
"It's fine. That should be my line. I suddenly came and disturb your training." Kabuto laughed.
"Did big sis tell you that I invited you to dinner?"
"What big sis? what dinner?" Hanayo looked at her Kabuto in confusion.
"He of course refers to me." Rin Hyuga hugged Hanayo from behind and rubbed her face against Hanayo, muttering about how cute little Hanayo was.
Kabuto was lost in thought when he saw this scene. This young mother was probably not just strange. She was probably seriously ill.
"Mother, there is someone else here. Please don't be like this." Hanayo tried hard to push away Rin Hyuga's face.
"I'm sorry my mother is a little rude. Please don't mind her." Hanayo turned around and apologized to Kabuto.
"It's okay. I'll ask again. Do you want to hang out with me? Are you free three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow?" Kabuto asked.
"I'm free, so sure." Hanayo quickly agreed.
"Then I will excuse myself, sorry to disturb your practice. I will come here to pick you up at three o'clock." He got up and prepared to leave.
Since he had already informed Hanayo, he could go practice at ease now.
"Wait a minute!" Hanayo stopped Kabuto, who was about to leave.
"I want to fight you once and see how far the gap between us." Hanayo said seriously.
Kabuto had already graduated, so they barely had any opportunity to see each other. Hanayo wanted to see if she had caught up to Kabuto after working hard for nearly three months.
"Do you want to fight? No problem." Kabuto nodded and agreed.
He was very happy to give advice to his friends.
"Be careful if you're going to spar," Rin Hyuga reminded him.
"Got it. Let's go." Hanayo quickly pulled Kabuto away.
Her mother was a little weird. Although Hanayo felt that her mother loved her very much, others would definitely find this strange.
Because Kabuto was not a member of the Hyuga Clan, and there would be many people in the training ground of the Hyuga Clan right now, so Hanayo did not bring him to Hyuga Clan's training ground.
Hyuga Clan placed honor above all else. If she were defeated in Hyuga Clan's training ground, she would definitely get into trouble.
Therefore, Hanayo took Kabuto to a remote empty ground nearby where no one would come.
"Kabuto, I wouldn't underestimate me If I were you. After three months of harsh training, I am much stronger than before. If you let your guard down, you will suffer." Hanayo immediately took Hyuga Clan's signature stance and warned Kabuto.
"Is that so? Then I am looking forward to it." Kabuto said with a calm smile. He was getting a little excited.
Apart from Itachi, there was no one else among his peers who could provide him a challenge.
Kabuto actually hoped to meet someone his age with a really strong Bloodline Limit.
