Tricking Neji

The Nine-Tails was shocked.

Asura was a figure from thousands of years ago; how could someone in this era know of him? Even the two reincarnated brothers themselves were unaware of their identities from before their rebirth. Yet, a human from thousands of years later not only knew of them but even identified one of them as a reincarnation.

This, this, this!

The Nine-Tails felt dazed; its fox brain couldn't quite process this.

Wait!

It shouldn't just be Asura; there's also Indra!

Through the gaps in the seal, the Nine-Tails observed Naruto and was aware of everything happening around him. One could say Naruto was live-streaming his daily life to Kurama.

That kid Sasuke, who often bickered with Naruto—though it hadn't verified it, the Nine-Tails felt there was a ninety percent chance he was the reincarnation of Indra.

Well, well! What is this brat trying to do, gathering the reincarnations of these two together?

Ah, wait! Is this something I should be worrying about?

Oh, right. It isn't.

I just need to help Asura's reincarnation more.

Naruto's figure seemed to appear before its eyes: the child with six whisker marks, that yellow hair it hated, and those blue eyes.

Blue eyes? Asura? Could it be?!

"Ah, that was easy enough. Though, the price was a bit steep."

He had obtained those devices through a lottery. He had asked the system about the price; while they couldn't increase combat power, their rarity was comparable to a Rinnegan—three million points.

Updates from the anime and games of his past life could also be synchronized to those devices. He could play PC games, mobile games, various single-player titles, Minecraft... and so on and so forth.

However, for him now, it was just a drizzle. He had points to spare; this little expenditure meant nothing to him.

Even a top-tier Chakra Fruit only cost ten million points.

Still, what else do I have? Let me take stock.

Heh, that really is a lot.

Hahahahahahaha.

This is all capital for me to squander.

"System, does Itachi Uchiha count as having graduated?"

"Yes."

"Good, only four more disciples left to complete the mission and upgrade the system, right?"

"Correct."

"Any new features? (｡ò∀ó｡)"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Fei Shi: "..."

Fine, I'll wait!

Let's deal with Neji first; knowing the fate of the Branch Family hit him hard. Hinata has been here for half a year, but Neji still hasn't come over. Perhaps he resents Hinata and doesn't want to be around her.

Sigh, what a hassle.

The first time he met Itachi Uchiha was his own arrangement, because the system had issued a mission to take on five disciples.

He chose Itachi Uchiha first, and the other four were Naruto, Sasuke, Neji Hyuga, and Hinata Hyuga.

But these brats probably won't be able to graduate at eight years old like Itachi; it'll likely be a long, troublesome process for me.

Ichiraku Restaurant.

That's right, not Ichiraku Ramen, but Ichiraku Restaurant—this was his masterpiece.

The restaurant opened by Fei Shi and Teuchi Ichiraku saw more than double the daily foot traffic compared to the old Ichiraku Ramen.

When Fei Shi came to Ichiraku Ramen to eat, he remembered the food from his past life and wrote down the recipes, purchasing the ones he didn't know from the system. Since they were trivial recipes, the system didn't say anything and allowed him to buy them after updating the shop. There were all kinds of Han Chinese delicacies and ethnic minority dishes: Xinjiang-style barbecue, noodles, and pilaf, Beijing roast duck... hot pot, stir-fried meat, hand-grabbed mutton, braised pork, steamed whitefish... and so on.

He even left five shadow clones behind to cook, as one chef couldn't keep up with the overwhelming number of customers. While cooking, he taught Teuchi Ichiraku, whose culinary skills improved rapidly.

With customers arriving in a steady stream, they expanded the shop's floor space several times over, allowing it to accommodate forty diners at once.

Sitting by the window, he looked at the young child in front of him: Neji.

"Stop obsessing over the Caged Bird Seal. Become my disciple, and once you prove yourself worthy, I will erase this Caged Bird Seal for you."

"This! But! But! Will the Main Branch agree? Wuwuwu, I see how they use this Caged Bird Seal to control the life and death of us in the Branch Family... My father was in so much pain that day, wuwuwu... I hate the Main Branch..."

"Let me tell you, I am more powerful than the entire Hyuga clan. Besides, Hinata is your cousin, though she is too kind-hearted. There is nothing wrong with being kind if you are living as an ordinary person."

"But as a ninja, being too kind will lead to great suffering later on. Furthermore, the Hyuga clan head loves his brother very much. It is just these damned clan rules, meant to protect the Byakugan's legacy..."

Throughout the conversation, Neji spoke very little, listening intently to Fei Shi's words.

Before they parted ways, he asked Fei Shi excitedly (whispering in his ear): "Uncle Fei Shi, can you really remove the Branch Family's Caged Bird Seal?"

"Hahahaha, of course. But once you and Hinata possess the Tenseigan, you will have that power yourselves. You must help Hinata secure the position of Hyuga clan head; once you ask her, I am sure she will abolish the Branch Family system."

"Mm, until Hinata grows up, I will protect her well! Whoever dares to bully her, I will beat them to death!"

Naruto: ﾍ(;´Д｀ﾍ)

"Let's go, I'll take you back. I'll just send a shadow clone over to notify them! They'll have to agree whether they want to or not!"

"Uncle Fei Shi is so amazing!"

"Hahahahaha, Neji, work hard! You can become a powerhouse like me too!"

"Mm!"
