Hinata Hyuga said, "Yes, I brought him back. Having him stay in my room would be best."
"I object!!"
Hyuga Hiashi immediately stood up in opposition.
He did not want to see his daughter, at such a young age, being... by that blond brat Roman.
Seeing Hyuga Hiashi so agitated, Hinata thought for a moment before saying, "Father, have you forgotten? Hinata has her own purpose."
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi recalled that his daughter was a true genius. At five years old, she had independently used countless balloons to research the Rasengan... and had mastered water walking, tree climbing, and other techniques on her own.
After spending some time mentally talking himself into it, Hyuga Hiashi still said awkwardly, "I still object."
"Fa... Uncle, what I mean is, I'm still young, and Hinata is only five. It's impossible for me to do that kind of thing."
Roman, who had been mentally synchronized with Hinata Hyuga the entire time, said this, making Hyuga Hiashi's expression turn even darker. He had realized that this blond brat really did have designs on Hinata.
Otherwise, he would not have nearly let it slip and called him Father.
"Phew."
Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath. Only after doing his best to calm his emotions did he say,
"I said I object. Boy, if you want to live with my daughter, a pretty face alone does not qualify you for that. Unless you can become stronger.
"In any case, I will arrange a guest room for you next. That is final."
With that, Hyuga Hiashi stood and left the bedroom. He then told Hyuga Fuyu, Hinata Hyuga's guard who had been waiting outside the door, "Watch over the young lady. Do not let anything happen to her, or I will hold you accountable."
"Yes."
Hyuga Fuyu dropped to one knee and accepted the order.
Hyuga Hiashi gave a slight nod and thought to himself,
With Hyuga Fuyu, a Branch Family Ninja, guarding her, that boy named Roman should not dare lay a hand on my daughter.
Right, I must also obtain information related to Roman!
The Hokage Office should have it.
Thinking this, Hyuga Hiashi clapped his hands again.
Whoosh.
Several Hyuga Branch Family ninjas appeared using the Body Flicker Technique.
Hyuga Hiashi removed the clan head's seal and handed it to his trusted ninja. "Take this to the Hokage Office and request permission from the Third Hokage to review Roman's file.
"If the Third Hokage asks why you wish to review this person's file...
"Answer truthfully."
"Yes."
The ninja accepted the order and used the Body Flicker Technique to swiftly leave the Hyuga Estate for the Hokage Office.
As for Hyuga Hiashi, he remembered that he had yet to arrange a room for Roman. He called over another ninja to prepare a guest room and seriously instructed him to choose one as far from his daughter Hinata Hyuga's room as possible.
Having said that, Hyuga Hiashi recalled that his daughter seemed to want to accomplish something through Roman, so he changed his instruction.
"The room prepared for Roman should not be too far from Hinata's room."
"Yes."
Whoosh!
The ninja used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished from Hyuga Hiashi's sight in an instant.
"Phew."
Hyuga Hiashi looked at the now-empty surroundings and let out a long breath.
But soon, he remembered that the clan elders, his younger brother Hizashi Hyuga, and even his wife were all waiting for him to state his position, and his head began to ache again.
Still, the matter had to be handled.
He would tell them that his daughter, only five years old, had recreated the A-rank ninjutsu Rasengan developed by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, without reading the Scroll of Seals or receiving any training. He would tell the Hyuga Clan that Hinata was the clan's hope.
She had the potential to become a second Hyuga Celestial Ninja...
Surely the Family elders, Hizashi, and the others would temporarily accept Hinata's bold actions today...
Tap, tap.
Hyuga Hiashi headed toward the clan meeting, ready to convene it.
Meanwhile, in the clan head's bedroom, Roman let out a breath. "That was quite a scene just now. It felt like everyone in the Hyuga Clan came. I was really afraid your dad would throw me out."
"If he dared send you away, I'd dare make a move."
Though Hinata Hyuga was still young and her voice childish, her tone was extremely serious and resolute.
Roman said, "You? You'd make a move against your father in this life?"
"Don't underestimate me. I'm not the Hinata from the original story. I'm someone who reincarnated, so I'm not timid at all... Besides, I get to eat my fill every meal." Hinata rubbed her little belly as she spoke, then seemed to remember something and held out both hands. "Look."
The moment her words fell, a spinning blue ball of Chakra light appeared in Hinata's hands—the Rasengan.
"The Rasengan. How nice."
Roman had long since received Hinata's memories, so he naturally knew that she had recreated the Rasengan using memories from before her reincarnation... Yet even so, he still envied Hinata. After reincarnating, she had become the daughter of the Hyuga Main Family, practically the princess of the Hyuga Clan.
"Are you envying me?"
Hinata met Roman's eyes at close range and instantly sensed the envy in his mind. Thinking of how Roman had lived as an orphan, alone for ten years after reincarnating, she could not help taking his hand.
"No need to envy me. You are me. From now on, you'll receive the same treatment I do in the Hyuga Clan. Just stay here and live a comfortable life."
Roman said, "Eating your... soft rice?"
"Yes, eat soft rice. Eat as much as you want." Hinata smiled, pointed at herself, then at Roman. "After all, you are me, and I am you. Of course, once I'm an adult, if you really marry me, I won't mind you living off me and the Hyuga Clan."
Roman said, "Really?"
Hinata Hyuga did not speak. Instead, she responded with action, leaning forward and giving Roman a kiss on the cheek before finally saying,
"At my current age, this is all I can do. But even so, you should understand what I feel inside!"
Roman said nothing. He merely raised a hand to touch the lingering dampness on his face, held his damp fingers before him, then glanced at Hinata, whose face had turned slightly red and made her even cuter. He began to stare blankly, thinking in shock,
My soul fragment reincarnated as Hinata Hyuga.
And more importantly, Hinata is willing to bring me into the clan, feed and support me well, even offer up her fra... No, and then formally marry me once we're adults. What kind of overbearing CEO is this?!
Could all this be an illusion? Did I get hit by Infinite Tsukuyomi?!
Through their eye contact, Hinata understood Roman's thoughts and could not help saying, "Want to confirm whether you're under an illusion? Then pinch yourself. Of course, you can pinch me too. At such close range, not only can our thoughts communicate in our minds, but we can even share sensations."
After saying that, Hinata lifted her kimono sleeve and placed her fair, smooth little arm, like a jade lotus root, before Roman.
Roman swallowed at the sight, then, as if controlled, reached his wicked hand toward Hinata.
"It hurts! You used too much force. Hurry and rub it for me."
"I did it without thinking, without thinking. I'll rub it for you."
Roman: Her arm feels really nice.
Hinata stared at him with her Byakugan and said in her childish voice, "If you do not deliberately block it, I can hear your inner voice... For example, just now, when you thought my arm felt really nice, I heard every word exactly."
Roman said, "Ahem, ahem..."
