Hiashi: As Konoha's strongest clan, we must not waste a single grain of rice!

After Pain dispelled his Limbo: Border Jail, Black Zetsu returned to Obito's side and told him about Nagato's arrangements.

"He really thinks he's a god, actually trying to order me around. How interesting."

Obito Uchiha, having White Zetsu massage his back.

Kanami's punch was no joke; if it weren't for the Hashirama Cells in his body, he might have met his Sage of Six Paths with that one blow.

"He always considers himself a god. What kind of expression would he have if we told him the truth about his eyes?"

Obito Uchiha said dismissively.

Black Zetsu pondered for a moment, "Given Nagato's personality, he most likely won't believe it. He'll just assume those eyes are his own, since he's had them since childhood."

"It doesn't matter. Since he wants me to act with Itachi Uchiha, it's convenient. Most of the other people in the organization just think I'm Tobi; they don't even know I'm Madara Uchiha."

Obito said calmly.

When he's traveling with Itachi Uchiha, he doesn't need to deliberately display the goofy personality he has with Tobi.

Although that personality was his own, he had abandoned his original self after witnessing Rin Nohara die before his eyes.

"However, even with advance planning, there's a very troublesome situation."

What's going on?

"The Fourth Mizukage should have died long ago, and the Three-Tails within him died with him. It's highly likely he hasn't been reborn yet."

Black Zetsu nodded. "It is indeed somewhat troublesome."

After the Genjutsu: Release set up by Obito Uchiha on the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was dispelled, it meant that his life was about to come to an end.

The Sharingan Genjutsu that Obito sets up will cause the user to be on the verge of death when it is dispelled.

He had sensed two years ago that the Illusion Technique surrounding Yagura Karatachi had been dispelled.

The rebirth time for Tailed Beast is generally between two and three years, so it is difficult for him to determine whether the Three-Tails has been reborn yet.

Obito raised his hand, and the White Zetsu on his body voluntarily fell off.

He stood up and stretched a bit. "I'll go see my old teammates first."

Konoha Village.

At this moment, Kanami, who was at home, sensed that his Wood Clone had returned to the village.

"Hinata, Jiraiya's been rescued from Jiraiya's side."

"Real?"

Hinata Hyuga, wearing a white apron and holding a spatula, peeked out from the kitchen.

"That's great, Lady Tsunade won't have to worry Tenten."

She said happily.

Kanami nodded.

He also learned from the message sent by the Wood Clone that Jiraiya's left hand had been severed.

He didn't tell Hinata, lest she worry unnecessarily.

He walked to the kitchen doorway, looked at Hinata wearing an apron, and smiled slightly, "Lord Hinata, what shall we eat today?"

"Don't call me 'adult' anymore. I'm making Egg Fried Rice today; we didn't finish yesterday's rice..."

Hinata's hands did not stop moving at all.

Kanami's smile widened, "Yes, my dear wife."

"There's one more thing,"

"Huh? What is it?"

"That's right," Kanami said after a moment's hesitation, then walked behind Hinata.

His gaze remained fixed on Hinata's retreating figure as he continued, "Don't always cater to my tastes and cook what I like. I also want to try the dishes my wife finds delicious."

Hinata nodded subtly. "I don't know what I like to eat..."

"Um..."

Kanami rested his chin on one hand, deep in thought.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "So what's your least favorite dish?"

"What I hate the most... I guess... I don't know."

"I see!"

Kanami smiled and said, "That means you like all of them. From now on, let's start by making the dishes you can remember."

"Huh? Ah..."

Hinata nodded slightly. "Okay."

"Of course, you'll also need to teach me how to cook when you have time."

"Huh? You can cook, right?"

"I can't just do what I know; I need to learn how to cook the dishes my wife loves."

Kanami smiled and said, "Also, I'm a bit slow, so I have to teach you step by step."

"Good."

Hinata blushed and could only nod mechanically.

She doesn't express her love very often, but coincidentally, Kanami is someone who can clearly sense her expressions of affection.

"The Egg Fried Rice is almost ready..."

"Okay, I'll go call Hanabi over."

After accurately sensing the surroundings with his eyes closed, Kanami activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although Hanabi was dragged back to training by Hyuga Hiashi Hanabi these past two days, compared to the rigid Hiashi of the past, the current Hiashi is not as inflexible and strict in terms of training.

Hanabi has also been asked to visit Hinata after training these past two days.

The distance between the two could be covered in just a few minutes for Ninja.

"Bass--"

A faint red light stirred up slight ripples in the air.

Kanami then appeared in a Training Ground consisting of four wooden buildings.

Seeing Kanami suddenly appear beside her, Hanabi stopped practicing her Gentle Fist on the wooden stake.

Her eyes sparkled, and she excitedly called out, "Redhead Bro!"

Kanami's eyes immediately turned dead.

Redhead Bro...

How did you come up with such a term of address, Sister-in-law- law?

Even "Redhead Brat" sounds better than "Redhead Bro"!

"Can't you use a different form of address? Like, brother-in-law?"

"Huh? You don't like it? I didn't see him get very angry when I called him Neji."

"How can that be the same?"

"You called Neji by his name. Is my name ' Redhead '?"

Kanami glared at Hanabi with an angry expression, trying to threaten her.

But this trick had absolutely no effect on Hanabi.

She had figured out that Kanami was not someone who would get angry easily.

Seeing Kanami's angry expression, she laughed even harder.

"Isn't your brother's name Redhead? I remember when we first met, you even referred to yourself as Redhead."

Kanami raised an eyebrow. "Did I say that? Didn't you, a little brat, rudely call me 'Redhead Brat ' the moment you opened your mouth?"

This is utterly upside down!

"Ahem, Kanami is here."

A sudden cough interrupted the two from continuing their investigation.

Kanami turned his head in the direction of the voice and smiled, "Good morning... Father-in-law."

Hyuga Hiashi crossed his arms, revealing a serious face and nodding slightly.

"Hmm, but it's already quite late. Next time you can come earlier to say hello, and also invite Hinata along."

They're not even married yet and he's already stopping coming home!

What if we get married!

Waaah!

Hiashi Man Ribery was sobbing inside.

However, Hinata had actually come back to see him just yesterday.

"Okay, then I'll take Hanabi to my house."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll trouble you to bring it back to her later," Hyuga Hiashi replied calmly.

That wretched brat, isolating me!

However, he was deeply distressed.

He also wanted to freeload a meal; he longed for the feeling of eating together as a family.

But at his age, he was too embarrassed to speak up first.

Even if he were to use the excuse of Hinata, he couldn't say it. It wouldn't fit his usual persona. He couldn't bring himself to say it; he felt that if he did, others would look at him strangely.

"We had too much leftover rice from yesterday. I don't know if the three of us can finish the Egg Fried Rice Hinata made."

Kanami held Hanabi's small hand and said with a slight sigh.

"Yes! I can eat at least three big bowls of what my sister makes!"

Hanabi ' eyes sparkled.

"Hanabi, how can you eat so much? You can't overeat!"

Hyuga Hiashi offered his criticism in a deliberately serious tone.

Hanabi glanced at him furtively, then lowered her head and said, "Oh, I see."

Seeing that things were looking Hyuga Hiashi quickly continued, "As the Hyuga, the strongest clan in Konoha, you must have good habits and never waste a single grain of rice!"

"Kanami, take me there. I want to keep a close eye on you."

Kanami:...
