Hiashi: He even brought the Tailed Beast. Is he planning to defect?!

Kanami was immediately startled.

Are you serious?

He looked at Hinata again to confirm.

"... Mm." Hinata nodded.

"With the entire Akatsuki Organization and Sunagakure being their target, it's clear that the Akatsuki Organization has dispersed its forces."

"If we can't win, we'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape."

Kanami tapped Hinata on the head. "Hey, how come it's 'us' again? We can't let you go."

Hinata didn't flinch this time, looking directly at Kanami: "I've also mastered Senjutsu, I can help you. Let's fight side by side, I really don't want to stay home worrying about your safety all the time."

Kanami remained silent for a long time.

He sighed softly, "Alright, but we have to bring the Hanabi too."

Hanabi?

"Yes, besides you, Toneri's target is also Hanabi, or rather, his primary target is Hanabi's Byakugan."

Kanami looked at Hinata: "It's been so long since I've seen you fight. If..."

"I understand. If I can't win, I'll run first and definitely won't hold Kanami back."

Hinata smiled.

"Idiot, what do you mean by 'holding me back'? You're my strong support."

"Let's go bring the Hanabi out, although it might cause some trouble with your father..."

"It's okay, watch me."

"Look at you?"

Kanami asked weakly in return.

Kanami knew very well how much Hinata used to fear her father, Hyuga Hiashi.

Although the relationship between the two is not as strained as before, Kanami is still a little worried when Hinata says she will hand Hiashi over to him.

I hope that things don't escalate to the point where the two of them argue and end up Branch Family...

Kanami quickly shook his head to dispel the thoughts from his mind.

What about me?

Matatabi looked at the two and asked.

She had just decided to stay here and keep an eye on Otsutsuki Toneri for them, and now the two of them were about to leave Konoha.

What does that mean? Are you suggesting I leave her alone in her empty room?

Although Otsutsuki Toneri's target was only Hyuga Hiashi's two daughters, who knows if he might suddenly attack her Two-Tails in the end.

"You..."

Kanami really forgot about Matatabi.

His purpose in collecting the Tailed Beast was twofold: to prevent Kaguya's resurrection and because he needed the power of the Tailed Beast, or more specifically, the power of the Ten-Tails.

As for whether a Tailed Beast would be helpful to him, it certainly would, but for him, it would be icing on the cake rather than a lifeline.

That's why he dared to leave Two-Tails Matatabi at home without deliberately keeping an eye on him.

Suddenly, he thought of Hanabi.

His eyes lit up.

"Matatabi, how about this, would you like to come with us to fight the Akatsuki Organization?"

"... I don't really want to, but it's boring being home all alone," Matatabi replied slowly.

"So you've decided? Come with us, we won't let you do anything."

Kanami grinned mischievously, Matatabi and saw his body tremble slightly.

I always feel that the other party intends to harm me.

"You're not planning to sell me to the Akatsuki Organization, are you?"

Kanami and Hinata didn't shy Matatabi from discussing Akatsuki Organization's collection of Tailed Beast.

Therefore, she heard it clearly.

"Haha," Kanami couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"We're going to rescue the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. Our original purpose was to stop them from collecting the Tailed Beast. Do you think I'd be stupid enough to sell you to them?"

"Besides, how could they possibly afford to buy Tailed Beast?"

"That's good. I'll go with you then. I've been feeling pretty bored lately."

Matatabi, with cat-like steps, she rose and came to Kanami's side.

Having been with the Yugito Nii for decades, she had long wanted to go out and explore the world.

However, Kanami did not impose any seals or restrictions on her, so she was a little embarrassed to suggest that she wanted to go out for a walk.

Soon, Kanami and Hinata got dressed and quickly washed up.

Kanami used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to create a Shadow Clone that was exactly the same as himself.

He sent Shadow Clone to inform Tsunade of his whereabouts.

Immediately afterwards, the human One-Tail beast stood close to Kanami.

bass--

The moment the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, the three of them vanished from their original spot.

They reappeared at the Hyuga Residence.

"Father, I'm back."

Hinata Hyuga called out in advance from the yard.

Hyuga Natsu quickly came out to greet them.

"Lord Hinata, the Clan Head Lord and Lord Hanabi are still training at the Training Ground."

"Okay, Sister Natsu."

Hinata responded politely.

The two people and the cat quickly arrived outside the Training Ground.

Before even stepping inside, I could hear the sounds of panting and snoring, clearly indicating that they were practicing Gentle Fist Style on wooden stakes again.

"Tap tap."

The sound of bare feet stepping on the wooden planks could be heard.

"Sizzle--"

Hyuga Hiashi opened the Training Ground gates to welcome them out.

"Hinata, Kanami, you guys... and the Two-Tails... Master, what brings you here?"

After thinking for a moment, he decided to address the Tailed Beast as "Master".

Caution is paramount.

Kanami remained silent, his gaze fixed on Hinata.

The other party claimed to be taking care of his own father, so he must have his own methods.

Kanami was genuinely a little curious.

Hinata let out a soft breath. "Father, Kanami and I would like to leave the village."

Hyuga Hiashi looked very pleased upon hearing this.

This was the first time he had experienced Hinata proactively reporting to him when she was about to leave the village.

He was overjoyed.

"Sure, of course. But remember to tell the Lord Hokage that I know you two are on very good terms with Lord Hokage now, but you can't neglect proper etiquette."

"Yes, Father." Hinata nodded.

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "There's one more thing..."

"Go ahead and say it."

Hyuga Hiashi was in a good mood. He raised his hand and waved to Hanabi, who was training inside, indicating that she could take a break and stop training.

"We also want to take Hanabi with us when we leave the village this time."

"Hmm, no problem..."

Hyuga Hiashi had just nodded, froze, then his eyes widened in shock.

"What did you say?! You're taking Hanabi with you?!"

"Ah... um..."

Hinata lowered her head slightly; the mental preparation she had made for herself before coming here completely crumbled at this moment.

"No, why are you taking the Hanabi away?"

Hinata was speechless.

She looked to Kanami for help.

Kanami understood that Hinata had taken the lead but failed, and now it was his turn.

"Father-in-law, we're going to see a friend this time. Hanabi must be tired from all the training, and Hanabi 'll definitely learn a lot from that friend."

Hyuga Hiashi still frowned.

"You mean 'guaranteed authenticity'? But why the sudden inclusion of Hanabi?"

"It's really true."

Kanami said calmly.

At this moment, Hanabi, who had stopped training, also poked her head out from the Training Ground.

"Yes, Father, let me go! I want to see what's outside the village too."

"But..."

Hyuga Hiashi frowned, somewhat worried.

"It's okay, my sister will protect me, and I also have Hong--"

Suddenly, Hanabi sensed a murderous aura and immediately fell silent.

He realized it was Kanami watching him.

She giggled and continued, "Kanami will protect me too."

A satisfied expression appeared on Kanami's face.

Good, you've grown up. At least when you need someone's help, you know to call me Kanami.

Hyuga Hiashi opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he closed it.

He remembered when Kanami and Hinata first went on a trip to the Land of Hot Water, and he, an old man, had followed them. Looking back now, he still felt a little embarrassed.

After pausing for a few seconds, he sighed, "Well, alright, it's fine to go out with your sister and brother, but be careful."

Hiashi was quite confident in Kanami's strength and Hinata's mastery of the Senjutsu Technique.

But as a father, he still habitually brought it up.

"Thank you, Father!"

Hanabi excitedly ran inside to change out of her training clothes, put on a light yellow kimono, and wore a flower hair clip as an accessory.

After seeing this, Kanami exchanged a glance with Hinata.

If she knew we weren't going on vacation... oh well, we'll see. Maybe there are some fun places near Takigakure.

I took her for a casual stroll after we arrived.

"Father-in-law, we're leaving."

Kanami had two people and a blue Cat Demon clinging to him.

"Go."

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly.

bass--

Kanami and the others vanished instantly.

"..." Hyuga Hiashi.

Sigh, they're all gone. It'll be quiet at home for a while now.

After standing quietly in the courtyard for a long time, he saw a Anbu members appear.

"Hiashi, the Lord Hokage is looking for you to prepare for a Konoha meeting."

"Okay, I understand."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly.

He then frowned slightly.

Why did Tsunade convene a Konoha meeting so soon after Kanami left?

Seeing that Two-Tails was also there, he immediately had a bad feeling.

Is that kid Kanami planning to elope with my daughter?!

They've brought along the Tailed Beast, and even deliberately included Hanabi —this sounds like they're planning to betray the village!

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly headed to the Hokage Building.

"Xia, you don't need to cook today. I'm going to a meeting."

Hyuga Natsu nodded gracefully from a distance.

"A lot has been happening in Konoha lately."

She sat in the wooden aisle, murmuring softly.
