At first, Hiashi thought Huayan had conceived another child with him. But after a medical ninja from the Hyuga Clan examined her, they discovered that Huayan had merely caught a cold, which had made her feel nauseated and retch. She wasn't pregnant.
Hiashi was a little disappointed to hear that, but a few months later, Huayan really did conceive another child with him.
This made Hiashi happy again. When Kamizuki and Hinata heard the news, they were happy too.
Ever since Kamizuki was two years old, morning exercise had been a good habit of his.
It was the first day of school at the Ninja Academy, so he finished his morning exercise early. After washing up, he ate breakfast.
Then he went with Hiashi to Konoha Academy. As they walked along the road leading to Konoha Ninja School, Hiashi held Kamizuki's little hand, his face still wearing its usual stern expression.
As they walked, passersby along the roadside were drawn to the father and son.
As the current head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi held a very high position and enjoyed considerable prestige in Konoha.
This was the first time Hiashi had taken Kamizuki out in public, somewhere beyond the clan compound.
The ordinary villagers of Konoha along the roadside all looked curiously at the second young master of the Hyuga Clan.
The second young master of the Hyuga Clan looked only four or five years old, and he was such a pretty little boy, with delicate, handsome features.
The young wives, girls, and middle-aged women along the roadside stared at him with sparkling eyes, practically itching to rush over and pull him into their arms.
Seeing the looks the young women and wives were giving him, Kamizuki thought smugly, In my previous life on Earth, I was just an ordinary shut-in loser. But now, after reincarnating in this world, I've become a rich young master. From now on, I'm the real deal: handsome, rich, and powerful.
As Kamizuki walked along, lost in his daydreams, he and Hiashi finally reached the entrance to Konoha Ninja School.
Quite a few parents had already gathered at the school gate with their children. They waited outside, some chatting with acquaintances while others reminded their children of one thing or another.
When Hiashi arrived, several parents who had been chatting with their children near the middle of the entrance hurriedly made way for him and Kamizuki.
It was no wonder. Hiashi's position and prestige spoke for themselves. In Konoha, aside from the Uchiha, there truly wasn't another clan that could stand alongside the Hyuga.
Hiashi stood at the school gate holding Kamizuki's hand. He naturally exuded the air of someone in a position of authority. The parents standing nearby felt it, and stopped chatting. One by one, they fell silent and waited with their children, as if they were Hiashi's subordinates.
After about five minutes, the Ninja Academy gates finally opened. Hiashi led Kamizuki through first.
Only after Hiashi and Kamizuki had entered did the parents follow them through the gates in turn.
Once inside, Hiashi finished taking care of all the paperwork for Kamizuki's enrollment. Then, with a serious expression, he gave Kamizuki a few words of advice before leaving the school by himself.
Kamizuki watched Hiashi leave, then went to find his classroom.
First-Year Class Two was Kamizuki's class. As soon as he entered, the little girls who had been laughing and playing in the classroom were drawn to the boy who had just walked in.
Kamizuki was dressed in a white, patterned kimono. With his especially handsome little face and his black hair tied back in a short ponytail, he caught everyone's eye.
The little girls all stared at Kamizuki with stars in their eyes.
The kimono was a gift from Kamizuki's mother, Hyuga Huayan, to celebrate his enrollment. He liked it very much.
Hyuga Huayan had designed and sewn it herself. Not only was it beautiful and suited Kamizuki's temperament, but, most importantly, it held a mother's love for her son.
(The kimono here wasn't the traditional, long, loose-fitting kind worn in Japan. It was an improved version, altered to make it easier to move around in.)
As soon as Kamizuki entered the classroom, he looked around at his surroundings.
He scanned the room and realized that there were three people he considered familiar.
They were the aloof and proud Hyuga Neji, the thick-browed Rock Lee, and the lively and adorable Tenten.
Kamizuki remembered that, back on Earth in his previous life, fans of Naruto had called these three members of the "Konoha 12."
The original Konoha 12 included Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Tenten.
The twelve of them were the brightest stars among Konoha's new generation of ninja, which was why they were known as the "Konoha 12."
When Kamizuki saw Tenten's outfit, it gave him an unmistakably familiar feeling: a kind of "Chinese style" that only someone who had been Chinese in his previous life could recognize.
For a moment, the beautiful landscape of his vast and magnificent homeland from his previous life rose in Kamizuki's mind.
As Kamizuki was still reminiscing about his homeland's beautiful scenery, the school bell rang, jolting him back to reality.
Kamizuki noticed that there was an empty seat beside Tenten. Without hesitation, he hurried over and sat down next to her.
Tenten watched Kamizuki walk toward her and then sit right beside her. Her little heart couldn't help pounding wildly.
She couldn't believe that this handsome boy had come over to sit with her. Tenten's little face instantly turned almost as red as Hinata's when she was shy.
After sitting down, Kamizuki noticed Tenten staring at him with sparkling eyes. He was so startled that he almost jumped right back out of his seat.
Kamizuki felt like a young maiden who had run into a lecherous villain, as if he might be assaulted by her at any moment.
Just as Kamizuki was worrying that Tenten might do something unspeakable to him, a model dressed in very revealing clothes walked in.
Oh! Not a model—a female teacher.
Wearing impossibly high heels, she strode in with a catlike gait, walking seductively and gracefully from the classroom door to the lectern.
