Two lolis are good.
No... Hyuga Sho meant that Hyuga Mami and Hyuga Natsu were both lolis.
Because my Byakugan is damaged, they don't need to worry about me harboring rebellious thoughts...
Hyuga Sho understood the Main Family elders' arrangements very well.
Someone like him was best suited to serve as a study companion and page for such a young Young Lady of the Main Family.
Even if I wanted to resist, I couldn't beat her, right...
Hyuga Sho quickly buried his thoughts.
He still remembered Hyuga Natsu's warning.
He could not casually reveal hostility in front of the Main Family. Otherwise, the Main Family might detect it through the "Caged Bird Seal."
Possessing monstrous self-control and complete command over his thoughts, Hyuga Sho quickly emptied his mind and, like Kars, gave up thinking.
"..."
Only then did Hyuga Mami turn her ethereal gaze toward Hyuga Sho.
She scrutinized him for a moment.
When she noticed Hyuga Sho's utterly blank, "aba aba.jpg" expression... she paused slightly.
"Him."
Upon hearing Hyuga Mami's words, Hyuga Hiashi and the others, even the Main Family elder, could not help smiling.
It was clear from this that Hyuga Mami was dearly cherished within the Main Family.
After returning to the Branch Family compound, Hyuga Sho began packing his things.
He had just received a schoolbag, school supplies, notebooks, and the like from the Main Family.
After looking through them, he put them back.
According to the schedule, tomorrow was the Ninja Academy's "enrollment ceremony."
Hyuga Sho thought about what else he would need for school.
Right, a bento.
"Haha!"
Someone barged in uninvited from outside.
It was Hyuga Suetsuchi.
"Hyuga Sho! I heard you're going to the Ninja Academy tomorrow?"
Suetsuchi acted as though they were old friends, completely lacking any awareness that he had just been beaten senseless.
He leaned against the doorway, pulled sunflower seeds from his pocket, cracked them, and tossed the shells onto the floor.
So this was what they called a brat.
Hyuga Sho frowned slightly, turned around, and put on an honest and simple smile.
"Little brother Suetsuchi... is your tongue feeling better?"
It would have been fine if he had not brought it up, but Suetsuchi's expression changed the instant he did.
His mouth twitched, and he stopped cracking seeds.
Panting heavily, he stepped forward until he was eye to eye with Hyuga Sho.
"Don't think you've won!! A-Natsu and I won't enroll until next year!! For this whole year, I can play with A-Natsu every day!! You won't get a chance!!"
Hyuga Suetsuchi's voice was thunderously loud. He was both wildly arrogant and overjoyed.
Once this annoying Hyuga Sho went to the Ninja Academy, he would not have time to play with A-Natsu during the day. Hehe!!
"Is that so?"
How could Hyuga Sho not understand a brat's mindset?
"A-Natsu."
Hyuga Sho shifted his gaze toward A-Natsu, who had come over after hearing Suetsuchi's booming voice.
"A-Natsu, could you help me prepare a bento tomorrow?"
Hyuga Sho asked with an honest and simple expression.
Hyuga Natsu, who had looked somewhat gloomy, froze at first. Then her expression brightened, and she smiled. "O-okay... Sho-kun."
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning struck.
Hyuga Suetsuchi turned completely pale.
"A-a Heart Bento... A-Natsu and I are childhood sweethearts..."
Being made a Minotaur on the spot was pain beyond his endurance.
"Hyuga Sho, die!!"
Hyuga Suetsuchi fell.
Hyuga Sho gained Doka Degree experience.
[Doka Degree: 4.9%]
"Damn it~~!!"
The Pure Love Warrior Hyuga Suetsuchi, defeated by the "Dead Last" Hyuga Sho's "random punches," let out a wail, burst into tears, and sprinted out of the room.
"What's wrong with him?"
Hyuga Sho pretended to be completely unable to understand.
Hyuga Natsu said, "Sho-kun... I remember you don't eat cilantro, right?"
Poor Suetsuchi was ignored outright.
After a while, once they had settled on the menu, Hyuga Natsu left, unable to hide her happiness.
Watching Hyuga Natsu's retreating back, Hyuga Sho blinked.
Hyuga Natsu was still useful for now.
She was the sentimental type. It was inevitable that she would overthink things because he and Hyuga Mami would be attending school together.
Maintaining a good relationship with a Tool Person was an essential quality.
"Once I solve the issue of Hyuga Natsu's affection, I'll consider the Main Family's situation..."
Hyuga Sho began practicing Gentle Fist.
As he trained, he pondered how to resist the Main Family.
Smack! Smack!
At the same time, Hyuga Mami was also practicing her punches.
As Hyuga Mami's elder brother, Hyuga Hiashi naturally took responsibility for teaching her Gentle Fist.
Unlike the Branch Family Members, who had little to do most of the time.
The Main Family had to inherit more extensive, stronger, and more complete teachings.
Therefore, they had to put in more effort.
Controlling the Branch Family relied not only on the Caged Bird Curse Mark, but also on absolute martial strength.
Blue spirals of Chakra blossomed from their palms.
Hyuga Hiashi defended while Hyuga Mami attacked.
"Mami, Hyuga Sho will be your follower from now on. You may order him around as you please."
Hyuga Hiashi easily blocked Hyuga Mami's attacks and spoke sternly.
"Yes, Brother."
Hyuga Mami had not yet fully grasped the deeper meaning behind Hyuga Hiashi's words.
Therefore, he reminded her further...
Hyuga Hiashi said, "Mami... I mean, you are the next clan head. The importance of your status goes without saying. If anything happens, it does not matter if you casually discard Hyuga Sho's life..."
[Doka Degree: 5.1%]
"Phew..."
The following morning.
Hyuga Sho, who was doing his morning training, exhaled a breath of stale air.
Training that would have exhausted someone to death and utterly broken their body in no time back on Earth had become routine for Hyuga Sho.
Under such training, his physical strength advanced rapidly, while the strength and amount of his Chakra grew at an astonishing pace.
After checking the time, he stopped training and washed up.
Hyuga Sho picked up Hyuga Natsu's Heart Bento.
At the entrance to the Branch Family compound, he waved goodbye to her.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Hyuga Mami, who was emerging from the entrance to the Main Family compound across from them.
"Young Lady Mami..."
Hyuga Natsu hurriedly lowered her head in greeting.
"Mm."
Hyuga Mami answered casually and glanced at Hyuga Sho.
"You... come here."
Hyuga Sho walked over.
"Take it."
Expressionless, Hyuga Mami tossed her schoolbag toward Hyuga Sho. As a result, he now carried two bags.
After arriving on the street, Hyuga Sho looked around.
This was his first time leaving the Hyuga Clan compound.
Konoha Village was far more vibrant than he had imagined.
Hyuga Mami, meanwhile, looked straight ahead and walked steadily. She apparently had come out many times before.
"Once we get to the Ninja Academy, you will listen to all my arrangements."
Hyuga Mami turned back and said.
"Yes, Young Lady."
Carrying a pile of bags, Hyuga Sho flashed a mouthful of white teeth, like a simple, unpretentious boy who had just arrived from the countryside.
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
