"Otsutsuki. Read"
Uchiha Kyu recorded the name of their ninja clan in the register. During his time guarding Konoha's gates, he had already seen plenty of strange clan names.
But his companion's pale face struck him as odd. Keeping his expression unchanged, he secretly speculated about the ninja writing his name in the register before them.
Could they be members of a Branch Family who had once escaped the Caged Bird and come to Konoha to settle the score for the humiliation they'd suffered back then?
As the son-in-law of a Hyuga Branch Family member, Kyu naturally hoped those Main Family members who had once given him a hard time would get a taste of their own medicine.
Just imagining the smug faces of certain people being ground into the dirt filled him with inexplicable glee.
He nudged the dumbstruck Shingo beside him and said quietly, "Don't just stand there. Hurry up and take them to meet Lord Hokage!"
Only then did Hyuga Shingo snap out of it, dispelling the surreal feeling in his mind. He steadied himself and put on the dignified air of a great clan with a thousand-year legacy, then led the guests who had come from afar toward the Hokage Building.
Otsutsuki Cang Lu's eyes flickered as he took in everything in Konoha with fascination.
He was especially envious of the cheerful, spirited smiles lighting up the faces of passersby.
After a thousand years of inheritance, the world inside the moon had stagnated. It was nowhere near as lively as a newly founded ninja village.
Pure Byakugan were quite common in Konoha, and they didn't make passersby stop to stare.
If a group of people with Byakugan appeared on the street, some might pause and quietly speculate about what grand gathering the Hyuga Clan was planning.
