After the Uchiha Clan Massacre, it took the higher-ups of Konoha nearly half a year to settle the aftermath, and Konoha gradually returned to its former prosperity.

Time passed quickly, much like the youth we lost in those years.

In the blink of an eye, a new year arrived, a season of **. (Ugh! Why does that sound so cheesy? Whatever, let's just leave it at that!)

This year, Hinata and Kamizuki were both six years old.

As soon as the semester began, Sugita Tsubaki found Kamizuki and said to him:

"Student Hyuga Kamizuki, your academic performance over the past two semesters has been excellent. The school administration has reviewed your file and would like to offer you the chance to graduate early. The school will conduct an assessment for you; I wonder if you have the confidence in yourself to pass?"

After saying this, Sugita Tsubaki stared at Kamizuki with a playful expression.

Being stared at with such a strange expression by his own alluring and beautiful teacher made Kamizuki's hair stand on end, like a cat whose fur had been ruffled.

He pondered for a moment and glanced at Sugita Tsubaki again. That little look of hers was truly something that Kamizuki—a pure, single nerd in his previous life—couldn't handle!

As a pure-hearted virgin with a soul as clean as a blank slate, where would he have ever experienced such teasing from a woman?

He tried hard to control his tone, hoping to keep his nervous state from being easily discovered.

He said to Sugita Tsubaki, "Thank you for the school's trust. I will definitely work hard to pass the assessment."

Although he spoke with apparent composure, Sugita Tsubaki saw the strange expression on Kamizuki's face, smiled slightly, withdrew her playful gaze, and stopped teasing him.

Seeing that Kamizuki had agreed to the school's application for early graduation, she felt very satisfied with her genius student.

Finally, she told Kamizuki to go back and prepare well, as the school had decided to conduct his assessment at the end of next month.

After Sugita Tsubaki gave Kamizuki some specific details regarding the assessment, Kamizuki finally left her office.

Originally, Kamizuki's plan was to spend three to five years at the Ninja Academy before even considering graduation.

He felt that the school was the best place to conceal his true abilities; he believed that his current strength was not enough to protect himself, so he needed to keep a low profile and hide his power.

Some might ask: he is in Konoha and a member of the Hyuga Clan, so he should be safe—what is he afraid of?

Heh, don't forget, while Konoha's exterior appears stable, safe, and devoid of danger...

As a transmigrator who knows the plot, Kamizuki had not forgotten that in the dark corners of Konoha, there existed an organization called Root. Its leader, Shimura Danzō, was a very sinister and cunning fellow. If he were to find out about Kamizuki's Tenseigan...

At this thought, a drop of cold sweat inadvertently trickled down Kamizuki's forehead.

Speaking of Shimura Danzō, some might not know much about him. Many perhaps only know him as a major villain who acted like a "background character" in the anime—either popping up to snatch the position of Hokage or playing dirty tricks behind the scenes, only to be finished off by Uchiha Sasuke in the end.

Let's provide a detailed introduction here!

Shimura Danzō: The leader of Konoha's Anbu underground organization, Root. He and Sarutobi Hiruzen were both disciples of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and he had always been a rival to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He was ruthless and calculating, willing to do anything to sit on the Hokage's throne. (His ruthlessness can be seen in the Uchiha Clan Massacre.)

He was an unadulterated careerist whose ambition was to unify the entire Ninja World with absolute power once he became Hokage.

In his early years, during the Ninja Wars, Danzō and the future Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, were both members of the squad led by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. The two viewed each other as rivals and were constantly competing.

During one battle, they were pursued by the Kinkaku Force of Kumogakure. After discussing it, the squad members decided that one person must act as a decoy to lure the enemy away, ensuring the safe retreat of the others.

Although Danzō harbored the intention to volunteer as the decoy, he hesitated at the critical moment and failed to speak up.

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped forward and offered to be the decoy. However, for the sake of Konoha's future, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, decided to act as the decoy himself. Before leaving, Tobirama praised Hiruzen and entrusted the position of Hokage to him.

This incident left Danzō filled with regret; he felt that if he had stepped forward first to be the decoy, the Hokage's throne would have been his.

After Hiruzen became Hokage, Danzō established the Root organization under the guise of an Anbu training department, managing it exclusively as its leader.

Later, during the "Orochimaru Attacks Konoha" incident, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sacrificed himself after using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal Orochimaru.

Ultimately, Danzō achieved his wish and sat on the Hokage's throne.

Finally, Danzō went to attend the Five Kage Summit in the name of the Hokage, only to be killed by Uchiha Sasuke, ending his ambitions.

Although Danzō was eventually killed by Sasuke, the current Danzō was not someone Hyuga Kamizuki could afford to provoke.

However, some things don't go according to plan. People always say: plans never keep up with changes.

Therefore, when he heard Sugita Tsubaki tell him to graduate early, Kamizuki still readily agreed.

Returning home, Kamizuki told Hiashi about the matter. Hiashi didn't say much, only telling him to give it his all and not to embarrass the Hyuga family.

That's how fathers are! They look indifferent on the outside, but inside, they are as worried as if they owed someone millions, constantly thinking about you and fretting over your affairs.

After dinner that night, Kamizuki went to the training room alone. Hinata had wanted to follow and practice together, but she was stopped by Hiashi.

Once inside the training room, Kamizuki intended to see what other ninjutsu within Hamura's Inheritance he could practice at his current level.

Finding a cushion, Kamizuki sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and let his spirit enter his sea of consciousness.

As a newcomer writing a book for the first time, I was originally a reader who loved all kinds of novels.

Since the manga version of Naruto: Shippuden ended this year, many passionate "fans" have started using their imaginations to write many fan-fiction novels about Naruto.

I am also a Naruto fan who has been watching for eight or nine years. At first, I read many Naruto fan-fictions, but many were abandoned after only a few chapters. As a reader, I strongly despise and condemn those "abandoned" authors.

I have read many Naruto fan-fictions, and they all write about how powerful the Sharingan and Rinnegan are.

After watching The Last: Naruto the Movie, I discovered that the Tenseigan is an eye that should be comparable to the Rinnegan, so I started searching online for novels about the Tenseigan, but after searching, I found that there were almost no novels with this theme.

I couldn't help but wonder, why is there no one using such a powerful eye as a theme to write Naruto fan-fiction?

One day after getting off work, bored out of my mind, I went online and registered an author account. Thinking that since no one else was writing about the Tenseigan, I might as well do it myself, so I started trying to write for fun.

I wrote a few chapters and posted them on Penguin Reading. After reading them over, I felt that my writing wasn't anything special; I couldn't capture that sense of immersion that the big-name authors have.

However, I didn't give up. Because I am also a reader, and as I said before, I despise and condemn those authors who abandon their stories, so I didn't want to become the kind of person I would despise and condemn myself.

My level of education isn't high—you could say it's only a tiny bit better than an elementary school student's—so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to write this book well, but I can guarantee that it won't become a dropped project.

Personally, I feel that as a person, if you can't guarantee that you'll do something well, that's fine! As long as your attitude is upright and good, that is also a form of success.

Therefore, I cannot guarantee to everyone that I will write this book very well, but I can guarantee that I will write this book with the best possible attitude.

After writing for a week, the number of favorites reached 200+, and the recommendation votes were almost at a hundred. I don't know if these results are considered good or bad, but I am already very satisfied with them myself.

I would like to thank everyone for their support of this book over the past week; I will write it with all my heart.

For any brothers and sisters interested in this book, come and join the Penguin group: 498194576. I look forward to having you.
