"Not Much of a Change"

After spending a few minutes washing up, Kanami sat down at the wooden table.

On the table was a cup of instant noodles that Hinata had already prepared.

Thanks.

"Um."

Kanami randomly picked a cup of instant noodles.

Taste? They eat this Tenten, they're already numb to it; their standards for taste have become extremely low.

I wouldn't say I hate it or find it cloying, it's just very casual, like eating rice, I'm used to it.

Doesn't rice smell good? Of course it does, but if you eat it all the time, it won't have the same rich aroma as when you first ate rice.

Kanami kept his face a certain distance from the cup.

The steam rose straight up and hit Kanami's face, instantly dispelling any lingering drowsiness.

After Hinata's hair dried, she opened and ate the remaining cup of instant noodles.

"Kanami, is it true that the Byakugan you mentioned last night can evolve into the Tenseigan? What does the Tenseigan like?"

Hinata blew on the steaming cup of noodles and casually asked.

Purple... gold... blue.

Kanami murmured to himself, recalling the color of the Tenseigan in the final chapter.

Kanami wasn't entirely sure what determined the specific color.

"The Tenseigan comes in different colors and sizes; the small ones are like the Byakugan, while the large ones..."

Kanami thought of the golden Tenseigan in the Hamura Shrine on the moon.

He continued, "The bigger one is bigger than both of us."

Hinata imagined a gigantic Byakugan appearing in front of her.

"It's a little... scary."

Hinata shook her head, dispelling the image in her mind.

' The Tenseigan requires pure Otsutsuki Clan Chakra and the Byakugan to evolve, so why didn't Hinata's Byakugan evolve into the Tenseigan?'

Kanami suddenly realized something.

In terms of bloodline, the Hyuga Clan has always maintained endogamy, so their bloodline should be very pure. As for why they haven't been able to awaken the Tenseigan, they might just be missing a Karma Seed.

However, Kanami was unclear about the specifics of this "Karma Seed".

Making him cultivate immortal Senjutsu was also part of Kanami's verification process.

'It can't be like the evolution of the Sharingan, where you need a loved one to die to awaken it, can it?'

After the thought suddenly popped into his head, Kanami quickly dispelled it.

Probably not...

I'm finished eating.

Hinata's voice interrupted Kanami's reverie.

"I feel I've hit a bottleneck in my cultivation; I haven't made any progress in a long time."

Hinata's sudden remark made Kanami An glance at her.

"You haven't just reached a bottleneck, you've reached the limit of your Natural Energy cultivation..."

"Oh? Really? I don't feel like I've changed much?"

Hinata looked at herself.

Not much change?

Kanami glanced at him sideways.

Even just looking at their appearance, the changes are obvious and significant!

"You can't feel it because there's no reference point. When we get back to the village, show your brother-in-law and the others the Senjutsu you used by combining Natural Energy, and they'll see how it has changed."

Kanami could already picture Neji Hyuga with his hands in his pockets, forcing himself not to show any shock on his face.

"Alright, I'm going to find the Tree Spirit to cultivate with now."

Kanami stood up and pinched Hinata's cheek, who was lost in thought.

Hinata pursed her lips. "Okay, I'll go see Lord Katsuyu in a bit."

Kanami nodded and left.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "By the way, you feel like you've hit a bottleneck with Senjutsu. You could learn a new Ninjutsu. The Gentle Fist Style's Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist would be quite suitable for you."

"Ah..." Hinata's pretty face showed surprise, "How do you know so much about the secret techniques of our Hyuga Clan Main Family?"

Whether it's the Soft Step Double Lion Fist she's using now or the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Kanami taught her before, neither of these are things Kanami should know.

"Because I'm Hinata Hyuga's husband, what's so strange about me knowing these things?" Kanami said with a wicked smile.

husband...

Hinata Hyuga could clearly feel her face burning.

He murmured to himself, a happy smile playing on his lips.

It wasn't until long after Kanami left that the blushing girl finally realized what had happened.

A look of confusion crossed her face, and she twirled her hair with her small, fair hands.

"Wait a minute..."

Kanami's words don't seem to explain the question I just asked...

But by then, Kanami had already slipped away.

'It's not that I don't want to say, it's just too troublesome to explain, sigh.'

Kanami sighed inwardly as he sped along.

He wouldn't tell anyone about his time travel unless he was about to die.

First, it's utterly absurd.

Secondly, Kanami was very clear that Hinata Hyuga, that idiot, might actually believe what he said!

'Let's just keep this to ourselves.'

Kanami's life in this life is so wonderful; he even stole the Crown Princess away. Who would still yearn for his past life?

Otsutsuki Toneri?

hehe.

If it's necessary to be an enemy, then just kill them. To Kanami, most strangers are like cards; he doesn't feel much psychological burden. That's why he so casually killed the Fourth Raikage back then.

as a result of?

He hadn't even considered it.

A few minutes later, Kanami followed Mind's Eye of the Kagura and found the Tree Spirit.

As for why not use the Flying Thunder God Technique...

Slug Forest is, after all, the Slug Sage's territory; what's the point of him marking it everywhere?

Do you really think this is your own home?

Within the Slug Forest, he didn't apply many Flying Thunder God Mark, only about a hundred.

There are still many areas that are not marked.

"Young friend, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Kanami arrive, the Tree Spirit's tone became noticeably more energetic.

Today, the Tree Spirit deliberately exuded a powerful aura of vitality, and its body shrank to about the same size as Kanami, as if it were expecting Kanami to come to it.

Oh!

Kanami's eyes lit up; he remembered!

The Tree Spirit wants to know what the Slug Sage is thinking!

His gaze dimmed slightly in an instant.

He hasn't even had a chance to ask about this yet!

Kanami looked into the Tree Spirit's sincere eyes, and suddenly the scene from Journey to the Journey to the West where Tang Sanzang was thrown into the river by a turtle flashed into his mind.

Then!

Kanami started lying.

He first bowed respectfully with his hands clasped in greeting.

He then sighed.

"Alas, Tree Spirit, you know what kind of being that is? They are Sage!"

Of course, I couldn't just ask the Slug Sage, "Do you like that Tree Spirit outside?" After all, I was living under a parasitic roof.

So, I subtly inquired around for you, and it seems the Slug Sage has some feelings for you. The rest is up to you, senior, to take the initiative."

The Tree Spirit's eyes gleamed, shining like bright light bulbs, and she excitedly asked again, "From what angle did you ask, young friend? What exactly did she reply?"

Kanami crept up to the Tree Spirit and whispered, "Don't say it, be careful, walls have ears."

Kanami wasn't sure if the Slug Sage was nearby; he only said that to deceive the Tree Spirit.

But actually,

The walls really do have ears.
