Three days.
Hyuga Sho's research achieved many results.
Hyuga Sho even discovered Kirigakure's specialty.
Snow Rabbit.
These snow-white rabbits possessed unique traits and could even be used as casting materials for the Substitution Technique.
What Hyuga Sho didn't know was that...

And matters concerning the overall direction only came up a few times a year.
It could be said to be... an easy job.
But...
At critical moments,
