Family "Genius"

"Damn it!"

Sitting in the courtyard before his door, Hyuga Tatsumi could not stop cursing under his breath.

"How is there still no movement from this system? It threw me into this godforsaken Naruto World, didn't even let out a fart, and then just vanished?"

Hyuga Tatsumi could not help but complain; this system was simply too unreliable!

Hyuga Tatsumi had been living a perfectly fine life in the Celestial Empire, but he had no idea what kind of poison he'd ingested—the moment he opened his eyes, he was in the Naruto World, and to make matters worse, he was a damn infant!

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out. After a brief moment of joy, Hyuga Tatsumi discovered that the system had only appeared for a fleeting second before it kicked the bucket.

System updates, system updates—every time, it used this excuse to shut Hyuga Tatsumi up. It had been three years, and it still hadn't finished updating.

However, heaven never cuts off all paths; the starter rewards had already reached Hyuga Tatsumi's hands, giving him a reason to sit tight and behave.

When the system was online, it had granted Hyuga Tatsumi the bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan, and to sublimate that bloodline, it had specifically cleansed his body.

After this series of tasks was completed, Hyuga Tatsumi possessed the Byakugan. The system's assistance brought him no small amount of convenience, and coupled with the Otsutsuki bloodline, Hyuga Tatsumi had started with the Tenseigan. This was like playing with cheats on!

This gave Hyuga Tatsumi a sense of security. With the power granted by the Tenseigan, plus the cleansing the system had just performed, improving his talent was a mere trifle for him. Even if this system remained offline, he could save his own life in the face of a crisis with his own skills, though dominating the ninja world might take some time.

Hyuga Tatsumi took out a mirror and carefully examined his Tenseigan. The deep, azure pupils were like a starry sky. Hyuga Tatsumi smiled as he looked; with such a cute little face, wouldn't those big sisters be swooning?

"Sigh, putting everything else aside, just based on this face, I won't starve to death even if I have to beg for food." Hyuga Tatsumi was narcissistically boundless.

"It's a pity. The Tenseigan is great, but I just can't use it. Otherwise, with a single strike, I might be able to split the moon in two." Hyuga Tatsumi touched his eyes, feeling quite regretful.

The Tenseigan was a good thing, but it required a massive amount of chakra, which Hyuga Tatsumi could not afford to consume right now.

It wasn't impossible to forcibly activate the Tenseigan; it was just a matter of chakra quantity. One could solve this by consuming life force—that was the method Nagato Uzumaki used.

But that ghostly appearance of Nagato Uzumaki was not what Hyuga Tatsumi wanted. He would rather wait until his chakra grew to the level of a Tailed Beast before discussing this matter.

Anyway, he already had the Otsutsuki bloodline and had obtained the Sage Body. As he slowly grew, Hyuga Tatsumi could at least reach the level of Hashirama Senju.

Time was not an issue right now; the Second Ninja War hadn't even arrived yet, so what was the rush?

"Hyuga Tatsumi, you mongrel, your bloodline isn't even pure. Do you see the Caged Bird Seal on my forehead? The elders were talking about me. A genius of the Hyuga Clan with a pure bloodline like me is the chosen one. A little brother like you should just step aside!"

While Hyuga Tatsumi was sitting there in a daze, an idiot suddenly started shouting and showing off the Caged Bird Seal on his forehead.

Hyuga Tatsumi was completely speechless. He didn't know how to explain to him that this was just a ticking time bomb—nothing worth being happy about. It would be a miracle if he didn't cry.

"Stop flapping your big mouth and go find somewhere cool to sit!" Hyuga Tatsumi didn't want to bother with him; talking to him was just a waste of time.

"Do you have this mark of mine? You're just jealous of me, calling the grapes sour because you can't reach them!" Hyuga Iron Plate was still immersed in his own world, completely failing to notice that Hyuga Tatsumi's expression looked as if he had swallowed a fly.

There aren't many people like you who would help count the money after being sold, Hyuga Tatsumi cursed in his heart.

The brainwashing techniques of the Hyuga Clan had reached such a level that they actually treated the installation of a ticking time bomb as a point of pride. This was just too abnormal!

When Hyuga Iron Plate's brain cleared up and he thought about this later, he would surely think of himself as a complete idiot.

Hyuga Tatsumi thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably. He wondered if Hyuga Iron Plate would cry when that time came.

Seeing the upturned corners of Hyuga Tatsumi's mouth, Hyuga Iron Plate's temper flared up instantly, and he roared, "Who are you looking down on? Do you want to fight to the death with me?"

Hyuga Tatsumi hadn't expected this, so he said with a grin, "How could I dare? I'm envious of you from the bottom of my heart."

As he spoke, Hyuga Tatsumi put on an envious expression. Hyuga Iron Plate's mood improved instantly, his vanity satisfied. He patted his chest with satisfaction and said, "If anyone bullies you in the future, I'll cover for you. I'm your big brother!"

Hyuga Tatsumi sneered, having finally managed to send that annoying moron away.

This Tenseigan accidentally helped me dodge a bullet; otherwise, I would have been cursed with the Caged Bird Seal by now, Hyuga Tatsumi thought happily.

It's no wonder. In the Hyuga Clan, I have no special skills and am just trash. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to put the Caged Bird Seal on someone like me?

Hyuga Tatsumi realized his consideration was lacking; if the secret of the Tenseigan were ever exposed, he would need the ability to protect himself.

There was a vicious Danzo in Konoha. If he were targeted by him, the outcome would be unspeakable.

But in this ninja world, there was an even more vicious Black Zetsu. Hyuga Tatsumi didn't know if Hamura Otsutsuki possessed the Tenseigan, or if Black Zetsu knew of its existence.

Still, the old saying held true: caution is the parent of safety. Even Black Zetsu, who appeared to have no power to truss a chicken, had ultimately backstabbed Madara to death, so he could not be underestimated.

Having crawled through the ninja world for so long, no one knew exactly what kind of methods he had.

The current Hyuga Tatsumi only had a slight advantage at the start, but he was still an ant with a lot of room to grow.

If the secret of the Tenseigan were revealed, he would have no way to control the development of the situation. The first to take action would certainly be the Hyuga Clan; they would never be able to resist the temptation of the Byakugan's evolution.

Before he transmigrated, he was a mature adult. Although he had become a child now, this little bit of anger was still a small matter to him and could be endured.

At least compared to his previous boss who was always picking on him, this Hyuga Clan was nothing.

After being in a daze for a while, Hyuga Tatsumi set off and left, heading alone toward the Hokage Rock on the mountain behind Konoha.

Hyuga Tatsumi walked slowly down the street, and people greeted him one after another.

Although Hyuga Tatsumi didn't receive respect within the Hyuga Clan, among others, he was a cute little boy, and his popularity was quite high.

Hyuga Tatsumi didn't put on any airs of superiority, responding to every enthusiastic greeting.

Finally arriving at his destination, the mountain behind the village, Hyuga Tatsumi began to train. He was still young, only three years old, so it was impossible to imagine obtaining the Chakra Refinement Technique yet.

However, in order not to waste the recovery ability of his Sage Body, Hyuga Tatsumi chose to start training his abilities now.

Even if he hadn't obtained something like chakra yet, Hyuga Tatsumi could still use the basic recovery ability of the Sage Body.

It was just like how, even if one possessed the Tenseigan, if one wasted their time, everything would just be a fleeting cloud.
