This Is What They Call a Generation Gap? (Please Vote)

Kimimaro suddenly felt a heavy pressure in his chest, and the clothes on his body had somehow become a little tight. This was completely unscientific.

When he raised his hand, he discovered that it had become somewhat slimmer, and even his skin had grown more delicate.

"I..."

The moment he spoke, he realized his voice had become clearer and crisper, no longer carrying the deep weight of a boy's voice. After all, he had already gone through puberty.

The changes had come so suddenly that even with his steady temperament, he could not help being shaken.

Kabuto and Orochimaru stared without blinking. Such a transformation was simply enough to send any researcher into ecstasy—a complete sex change.

White hair, eyebrow markings, eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes... Even after becoming a woman, her appearance remained cold and aloof.

"My lord!"

Unable to hold it in, he called out. Orochimaru looked at him with great interest and gestured to Kabuto.

Kabuto turned and brought over a mirror, placing it before Kimimaro. He immediately fell silent.

Was the woman in the mirror really him?

He had become a she!

He instinctively raised his hand, and the reflection in the mirror did the same. His fingers gently brushed his cheek, feeling that delicate softness spread across his hand.

Looking down, his view was blocked. He had once been able to see his feet easily, but now he could not even see his toes.

Why were they so big?

Kimimaro rubbed his chest in distress. Carrying around these two burdens would greatly affect his combat ability.

Moreover, using his bloodline ability easily damaged his clothing. For convenience, he usually fought after taking off his shirt.

He would probably need to bind them with bandages in the future, or it would be very inconvenient, he thought to himself.

Orochimaru watched this momentous transformation and let out a faint, hoarse laugh.

"Interesting. Very interesting. It seems that fellow possesses some quite interesting things."

The other party was qualified to trade with him now. The only question was what they wanted from him.

Still, he already had a few things in mind. He could ask for several doses of these interesting hormones.

But since the other party had casually given him two doses, they probably possessed even more interesting things.

At that thought, Orochimaru grew somewhat eager. Was this the meaning of life?

"Enough. Check everything again. Do not overlook any data."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto and Kimimaro answered in unison before throwing themselves back into the research. This was the daily life of researchers.

As for contacting the other party, that could wait until they had finished studying the items.

Until he understood the other party's things, communication or trade was still too early. Orochimaru would not put himself at a disadvantage.

Konoha, Hyuga Estate.

Neji had finally gotten a few days off, only to be called out by Hanabi to accompany the two sisters.

Hinata looked rather embarrassed, her little hands twisting together behind her back.

"Brother Neji, you finally have time to rest, yet you have to indulge Hanabi's antics. You really don't need to accompany us."

"Brother Neji, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She was really loo—mmph!"

The lively Hanabi was immediately silenced when Hinata covered her mouth, preventing her from finishing the rest of her sentence.

Hinata's face turned red, and the strength in her hand unconsciously increased, making Hanabi protest with muffled noises.

Unfortunately, the more Hanabi struggled, the harder Hinata pressed. Neji could not help laughing inwardly.

Your sister was still your sister, Hanabi.

But Hinata, your feelings are written all over your face. Of course I'll spend time with you two. I really haven't sparred with you much lately.

"Alright, Hinata. If you keep covering her mouth, our cute and mischievous little sister really might be gone."

"Ah!"

Only after Neji pointed it out did Hinata realize that her little sister's eyes had rolled back.

Oh, no, their entire family had Byakugan!

Little Hanabi shot her sister an indignant glance, then hurriedly ran behind Neji.

Hugging Neji's leg, she said, "Brother Neji, my sister is trying to silence me forever!"

Hinata panicked. "I wasn't! If you hadn't said that... that..."

Seeing the steam practically rising from the top of her head, Neji chuckled and reached out to gently stroke Hinata's cheek.

"Alright. I really have neglected you two lately. Today, I'll spend some proper time with you. After all, my little sisters are so adorable!"

"What about me? Am I adorable too? ^_^"

Little Hanabi bounced out, pointing at herself with an expression that clearly said, Don't just praise my sister. There's an adorable little me too!

Neji smiled, picked up Little Hanabi, and pinched her little nose. "Of course you are too!"

Little sisters were meant to be spoiled. He had not had a little sister in either of his previous two lives.

Besides, Hanabi would be entering the Ninja Academy in about half a year. He ought to give her some special training.

But for now, he would naturally accompany his two little sisters.

"What do you want to do today? You can ask for anything, and I'll do my best to satisfy you."

Hearing Neji's words, Little Hanabi's big eyes darted around as she grinned mischievously, clearly thinking up some bad ideas.

Only Hinata honestly lowered her head, her face slightly flushed as she poked at the ground with her foot.

"Brother Neji, I..."

"Brother Neji, let's go shopping first! I heard that a lot of new shops have opened in Konoha recently. Take me to see them! We're always training—I'm almost bored to death."

Hinata had just been about to suggest training when Hanabi interrupted her. Thinking of how her younger sister had taken her place in enduring their father's strict training, she swallowed the words that had reached her lips.

Although the Hyuga Estate had undergone some changes, they were not particularly significant. Hinata was naturally taught by Neji, while Hiashi did not interfere too much.

Then Hiashi discovered that his younger daughter was exceptionally gifted, and so he developed the desire to teach her personally.

With Neji having graduated and Hinata attending school, the burden of training and education naturally ended up falling on him.

Neji turned to Hinata. "What about you, Hinata?"

"O-Okay!"

"Oh! Great! I want to eat delicious food, buy ninja tools, and set off!"

Delighted, Hanabi squirmed in Neji's arms, waving her little hands with great energy.

The mischievous little Byakugan narrowed her eyes into happy crescents.

Thus, Neji carried Little Hanabi and held Hinata's hand as the three siblings headed out for a walk.

After Konoha had enjoyed peace for so long, the village had developed rapidly. There were now many more shops and places to have fun, and there was even a movie theater. Neji could not help sighing at that.

After all, Neji and the others were usually focused on training, so they had overlooked these changes.

He grumbled inwardly that this was another world where the technology tree had gone crooked, though at least it would not be so boring.

The Pirate World had many strange islands, but very little in the way of entertainment. In that respect, it could not compare to the world of Naruto—but it was beautiful!

Having traveled across many islands, Neji felt like every island he visited opened up an entirely new world. It was truly impressive.

He lightly cast aside those thoughts and focused instead on enjoying himself with his two little sisters.

In the end, the two older ones were not even as good at having fun as Little Hanabi. She led them around all the way, making Neji feel slightly ashamed.

Was this what they called a generation gap?
