No One Here Was Normal

Awesome, awesome!

As long as he had enough time, he would eventually become invincible.

Naruto and Sasuke could handle saving the world. All he needed to do was lie low in peace!

This was practically a godly life!

But first, he had to find out whether he belonged to the Main Family or the Branch Family!

If he was from the Main Family, then everyone would be happy. From then on, he could simply be a carefree freeloader.

If he was from the Branch Family, then he would work like a beast of burden for a while, keep his head down, and raise the banner of freedom when the time was right.

"Elder!" Just then, Delia's voice came from outside the door.

"How is Bai Yue now?" The voice sounded exhausted, yet it also seemed to be suppressing rage.

"Young Master has already awakened and is eating."

"That's good!" With that, the door was pushed open. An imposing old man entered, though his furrowed brow made it clear that he was in a terrible mood.

"Bai Yue~" However, this old man clearly would not bring his anger from outside home and vent it on his grandson.

"Grandpa~" Bai Yue called out without hesitation.

Don't think Bai Yue was too quick to acknowledge a grandpa. As an office worker repeatedly beaten down by society, he had long maxed out the basic skill of saying the right thing to the right person.

He was only a four-year-old child now, and Bai Yue had to play the role of "Hyuga Baiyue" properly. Otherwise, there was only one path left for him—death!

Although he had forgotten much of Naruto, in the era when short videos went viral, all kinds of famous-scene compilations and conspiracy theories had also helped Bai Yue remember plenty.

Aside from those explosive iconic scenes, what Bai Yue complained about most was that this so-called hot-blooded shonen series was actually dark as hell!

Yes! That's right! You! Pot Kage Danzo!

If he failed to play the role of "Hyuga Baiyue" properly, he would be exposed in minutes in this world where everyone suffered from severe paranoia and insanity!

Kabuto Yakushi had failed the Chunin Exam several times and was suspected of being a Spy.

Luckily, he really was a Spy and had practically exposed himself on purpose. If he had not been a Spy, then looking at it from the perspective of a weak, failing student would have been utterly despairing!

Fail an exam, and they suspect you of being a Spy?! Who could possibly understand this?!

"Grandpa, I want to become stronger!" Bai Yue's tone was incomparably resolute!

"Good child!" Hyuga Jinren nearly lost control of himself! His voice was somewhat hoarse. "I know you want revenge, but this is not your burden!"

"But..."

"No buts. You only need to grow up happily." Hyuga Jinren spoke decisively.

"Yes..." Bai Yue said nothing further.

After all, he really did just want to grow up happily...

Three days later~

Bai Yue, who was learning to read under Delia's guidance, was startled by a young man who suddenly appeared.

"Young Master Bai Yue, Elder Jinren requests your presence." The young man spoke respectfully.

"All right. Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Wen." Bai Yue closed his book and stood up.

"Please follow behind me." Hyuga Bun spoke blandly, then began leading the way.

After passing through the ancient corridors, Bai Yue soon saw Hyuga Jinren.

At that moment, Hyuga Jinren's face seemed etched with grief, along with barely restrained fury.

Besides Hyuga Jinren, there were several Hyuga Clan Members Bai Yue vaguely remembered but did not know well.

"Bai Yue is here~" Upon seeing Bai Yue, a young man immediately greeted him.

Looking at that stiff face, Bai Yue found the young man more and more familiar.

The future Hyuga Clan Head—Hyuga Hiashi!

Hyuga Hiashi's voice also drew the attention of everyone present.

The oppressive atmosphere was broken. The man seated in the center spoke in a decisive tone. "The Byakugan must never fall into outside hands. Therefore, recount every Ninja in the clan and send eighty percent of our Clan Members to the Kirigakure battlefield to reclaim the Byakugan!"

What? Reclaim the Byakugan? Even by the end of the story, that lost Byakugan was still sitting in Ao's eye socket!

"Who will lead the team?" Hyuga So spoke. "Reclaiming the Byakugan is imperative, but who should lead them?!"

"Hiashi!"

"Father!" Hyuga Hiashi immediately rose to his feet.

"You will shoulder the responsibility of leading the team."

"Yes, Father!" Without the slightest hesitation, Hyuga Hiashi accepted directly.

"How can Hiashi lead the team?!" Hyuga Jinren immediately tried to dissuade him!

"This war is different from those before it. Although the other villages are also clashing with one another, Konoha has always stood at the center of the war. Even without the humiliation of the Byakugan being taken, with the village pushed to the brink, we Hyuga still need every member to mobilize!"

When the nest was overturned, no egg could remain intact. That was the logic of it. If Konoha was defeated, how could those vicious wolves possibly spare them?!

"Tokuma~ Let me lead the team instead!" Jinren continued.

"Everyone can go, except you!" Hyuga Tokuma said righteously. "Hika and Ryoko's sacrifice will blind your eyes!"

Holy shit! So he was from the Main Family?! And the stolen Byakugan had belonged to his predecessor's father?!!

Then sorry about this! Byakugan killer—Ao, you have earned yourself a death sentence!

"Jinren cannot go, and neither can Hiashi! I should go instead!" An old man who had remained silent until now suddenly spoke. "Compared to Jinren, whose eyes are clouded by hatred, or Hiashi, who lacks experience and is also the Young Clan Head, an old man like me is more suitable!"

"Maku is right. Neither Jinren nor Hiashi is particularly suitable." Hyuga So spoke again. "However, besides us Hyuga, the Uchiha Clan will also be supporting the Kirigakure battlefield. Maku, the Uchiha Clan is restrained by Kirigakure Ninja, so you will need to put in more effort!"

That old bastard didn't look like a good person!

Glancing at Hyuga So, Bai Yue instinctively felt that this man did not look like a good person.

"Mm!" Hyuga Maku Ken nodded in reply. Then his gaze drifted back to the ceiling, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

After a few words confirmed which Main Family member would lead the support force to the Kirigakure battlefield, the room fell silent once more.

Maybe this was war?!

"Bai Yue, go see your Parents one last time." Hyuga Jinren stood and spoke to Bai Yue.

So why had they called him here?

Without saying anything, Bai Yue followed behind Jinren.

The people in the room watched Hyuga Jinren and Bai Yue. One seemed to have aged greatly, while the other was like a tender sprout bursting with life.

"Hika~ What a pity..." Hyuga So muttered. Seeing Hyuga Jinren as he was now, he also thought of his eldest son, who had died young. "Damn this war!"

Elsewhere~

Bai Yue had originally thought he would not feel sad, but before more than a dozen corpses covered in white sheets, the heavy atmosphere left him feeling stifled as well.

"Bai Yue~ Remember this moment!"

"Yes!" Bai Yue replied in a muffled voice.

Good lord~ The Ninja World really was cruel. Was this how they educated children?!

Just moments ago, they had hoped he would grow up happily, yet now they were telling him he had to avenge his grievances and hatred.

Sure enough~ There were barely any normal people in the Ninja World!
