Hanabi: You? I'll protect you while I'm at it

Two days later, Kanami and Hinata returned to Konoha Village.

Inside the Hyuga Residence.

"Father, Hanabi, we're back."

After appearing using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Hinata Hyuga called out impatiently.

"Sisters, you're back!"

Hanabi Hyuga, dressed in a black training uniform, ran out of the Training Ground.

She was holding Kunai in her hand, clearly indicating that she was training again.

"Don't work too hard, Hanabi..."

Hinata looked at Hanabi with a pang of sympathy.

"It's alright, sister," Hanabi smiled as she put the Kunai into the small pouch between her legs, "Hanabi did it willingly!"

"Since I am the future head of the family, I must make every effort to better protect my father, my sister, and the entire Hyuga."

"Oh, what about me?"

Kanami leaned out from the side.

Hanabi Hyuga pouted. "You should protect her while you're at it."

"Sigh... it's so heartbreaking." Kanami feigned sadness.

Hanabi naturally knew that Kanami loved to deceive himself.

"Hmph, if you can actually squeeze out some tears, I'll apologize to you."

"You heartless Sister-in-law- law!"

Where's your father? And where's Brother Kō?

Kanami changed the subject and asked.

"Father went to a meeting."

"Going to a meeting when things are like that?"

Kanami frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Has something big happened again?

He turned to Hinata Hyuga: "Let's go take a look."

Hinata nodded. "Okay."

She was also a little worried.

Kanami Hand Seals, took out the Sealing Scrolls, and handed it to Hanabi: "Here, take this. It contains Brother Kō's Byakugan. You know how to unseal the Sealing Scrolls, right?"

Hanabi's eyes lit up. "I know, he even got back Brother Kō's Byakugan, that's pretty impressive, Redhead."

"They're gone."

Kanami gently tapped Hanabi's head, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and disappeared from Hanabi's sight.

"Damn it, he even tapped me before leaving," Hanabi rubbed it. It didn't hurt; she just rubbed it unconsciously.

bass--

Kanami and Hinata appeared below the Hokage Building.

They arrived at the Hokage's reception room and waited.

Normally, Kanami would have teleported directly to Tsunade's side with Hinata, but knowing that she was in a meeting, it would have been very impolite for him to do so.

Especially considering that, apart from Tsunade, Kanami is not considered Ninja within the system in front of most other Elite Jonin, he only has two identities.

One was Konoha Genin, the other Konoha Hero.

A small number of people still know that he used to be in the Anbu, but since he hasn't revealed anything more, basically no one else knows.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a Ninja knocked on the door.

"The Lord Hokage has finished his meeting."

This Ninja was the Ninja Kanami and Hinata encountered when they entered the reception room.

Being a hero of Konoha is still a very useful identity.

"Thanks."

After Kanami responded, the footsteps of the Ninja outside gradually faded away.

"Let's go, Tsunade should be back in her office by now."

Kanami and Hinata teleported instantly to the door of Tsunade's office.

The Flying Thunder God Mark are already everywhere in Konoha Village.

"Knock knock."

Kanami gently knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Upon hearing Tsunade's response, Kanami and Hinata entered the office.

"Lord Hokage."

"Oh, you guys are back so soon?"

Tsunade's eyes lit up.

She had originally thought that it would take at least ten days to half a month for Kanami and Hinata to return after leaving this time, but she did not expect that they would finish their business and return to Konoha in just about five days.

The fact that they were able to return so quickly must mean that the problem was successfully resolved.

"Is it Kanami and Hinata?"

Hyuga Hiashi, who was standing to the side, asked a question.

"Father."

Hinata bowed slightly in greeting.

Kanami took out Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan and handed it directly to Hyuga Hiashi.

"This is...?"

Hyuga Hiashi held the petri dish in his hand, somewhat excited.

After losing his Byakugan, his other four senses became more acute, and the shape of the petri dish was automatically filled in in his mind.

"That's right, it's Byakugan."

Hyuga Hiashi's heart raced. He turned around, trembling, and pulled off the blindfold, putting the Byakugan back on in the petri dish.

It's as convenient as hot-swapping, and there's basically no discomfort.

Soon, as Hyuga Hiashi adapted, the view in front of him gradually opened up and became brighter.

"I saw it."

He murmured softly, excitedly looking around at the scene.

After a short while, he looked at Kanami, his eyes slightly red. "You brat, thank you."

"Mm," Kanami responded.

He wasn't very good at responding to people's thanks, especially Hinata's father.

He could try to coax Hinata, but Hinata Hiashi, the old man in front of him, always had a serious face. He... really didn't know how to reply to Hiashi.

"It's good that your eye is back, otherwise I would have already started planning to make you Prosthetic Eye."

Teuchi the silence with a laugh.

"Thank you for your concern Lord Hokage."

"It's alright."

"Prosthetic Eye? By the way, Lady Tsunade, you made Jiraiya's arm using Hashirama Cells?"

Kanami suddenly thought of something and asked.

He only now remembered that the technology of creating arms using Hashirama Cells, aside from the White Zetsu's abilities, was only used in the Original Plot after Naruto Uzumaki lost his arm in the Battle of the Valley of the End.

But now it's at least two years ahead of schedule.

Tsunade nodded. "Yes... um, there was also a boy who helped me; he must have contributed a lot too."

"Juvenile?"

"Ah, he's a young man who loves research, named Tono Katazuke. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, I think I'll keep him in the Research Position."

Katasuke Tono?

Kanami muttered softly.

He felt like he'd heard the name somewhere before, that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

Is he a supporting character like the perpetually Genin Maruboshi Kosuke?

That's what he thought.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to recognize a name but not remember it.

Tsunade's beautiful eyes sparkled. "Are you interested in my research?"

Coming to his senses, Kanami shook his head. "No, ask me, what happened before? Was there another important meeting?"

He asked the question instinctively, purely out of curiosity.

After asking the question, he realized how impolite he had been; the other party was in a secret meeting, how could he have asked such a question directly?

Once we return to the Hyuga Residence, we can ask Hyuga Hiashi, and that will be the end of it.

However, Tsunade didn't seem to care much.

She smiled and said, "You should know too."

She quickly summarized the meeting's content for Kanami and Hinata.

"Did he go investigate Xiao again?"

Upon hearing that Jiraiya had returned from Amegakure, Kanami asked in confusion.

Fortunately, he came back this time, otherwise he would have thought that Kishimoto the old thief, was determined to kill Jiraiya.

In addition, important intelligence is that the Akatsuki Organization has successfully collected two Tailed Beast and has now begun searching for the Four-Tails Tailed Beast Host, Roshi.

"Is this to stop Akatsuki from capturing Roshi?"
