Impossible to Explain Clearly

"I never expected Doichi to be a major shareholder here. From now on, everyone, get your friends to come spend money here when you have group dinners!"

Kakashi suggested.

"Haha! No problem, leave it to me!"

Tsume laughed.

"The food is delicious. I'll bring my family here often."

Shikuro Aburame rarely spoke, but he was a straightforward man.

"Alright, then thank you, seniors."

Doichi Hyuga said with a smile.

Doichi Hyuga left behind a Shadow Clone Technique, while his real body used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush back to Thousand Moon Town.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah, waaah, awoo..."

The moment he entered the small courtyard, he saw Qianyue tilting back her little head and crying loudly.

"Dad, you're finally back."

The moment Qianyue saw Doichi Hyuga, she hurriedly hugged his leg.

"What happened?"

"Tsunade hit me..."

Qianyue hid behind Doichi Hyuga, secretly watching Tsunade's movements.

Tsunade sneered repeatedly. Watching the father and daughter interact only made her fists itch even more.

"Qianyue is a good girl, so you need to respect your elders. You can't call your mother by her name directly, understand?"

Doichi Hyuga picked up the little girl and lectured her with a stern expression.

"I understand. I won't do it again."

The little girl scrunched up her face and spoke pitifully.

"What happened?"

Doichi Hyuga tapped the little girl's nose, then turned to Tsunade.

"She kept insisting on going to find you. Just now, she even dared to sneak out by herself."

"Qianyue, don't do that again in the future. Understand? It's very dangerous for you to go out alone, and your family will worry about you."

"Dad, I understand."

"Good. Qianyue is the best and most obedient girl. Hahaha!"

Doichi Hyuga wiped away the little girl's tears and headed toward the door.

"Wait. I have something to ask you."

Tsunade blocked his path and stared at Doichi Hyuga coldly.

"What do you want to ask?"

Doichi Hyuga was somewhat puzzled.

"Qianyue used Wood Release a few days ago. She said she learned it from you."

Tsunade's face was full of killing intent. She raised her fist, wanting to punch him first.

At first, Tsunade had been overjoyed, thinking it was a case of inheritance skipping a generation.

When she asked the little girl how she had done it, Qianyue said she had seen her father use it. She wanted to be just like him, and then she learned it.

Tsunade was completely dumbfounded. Had she not inherited it from her great-grandfather, but from her own father instead?

"Qianyue can use Wood Release? Let Dad see, alright?"

"Okay!"

The little girl scrunched up her face and strained for a long time before a two-centimeter branch grew from her middle finger.

"Dad, am I amazing?"

Qianyue looked smug, her face clearly saying, Dad, hurry up and praise me.

"Wow! Qianyue is amazing."

Doichi Hyuga's face darkened as he hurriedly praised her.

"Wahaha..."

The little girl laughed smugly.

"Stop changing the subject. Doichi Hyuga, if you don't explain this clearly, you're dead today."

A vein bulged on Tsunade's forehead as she teetered on the edge of exploding.

"Don't say things like that in front of a child. It'll have a bad influence on her."

Doichi Hyuga handed Qianyue over to Shizune and signaled for them to leave.

"My Wood Release is related to my senjutsu. The principles behind it are rather complicated, and you wouldn't understand even if I explained."

"Hehe! Do you think I'd believe that excuse?"

"In any case, I don't have First Hokage Cells in my body. After fusing with Wood Release, your skin changes. You've seen my body before. Wouldn't you know if there was anything unusual about it?"

This was difficult to explain clearly. Doichi Hyuga was getting impatient and could only resort to a dirty joke.

"Or should I strip naked now and let you inspect me again?"

Tsunade's face flushed red, and she wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face.

She knew that transplanting First Hokage Cells could cause skin depigmentation. When she had reviewed Root's intelligence on the two Uzumaki Clan children, there had been records of Wood Release human experiments.

"Wait! How did you know that transplanting Wood Release would cause skin abnormalities? This is Konoha's highest secret. There's no way you could have come into contact with that. Let's see how you argue your way out of this now!"

Just as expected, this woman was a huge headache. She always caught the holes in his words so sharply. Even after making a dirty joke, he still hadn't managed to fool her.

Doichi Hyuga sighed inwardly, feeling at a loss.

"Sorry. My source of intelligence is classified. I can't tell anyone."

Doichi Hyuga gave up trying to cover it up and could only play dumb.

"Could it be Orochimaru? Or..."

Tsunade tentatively named several people, but Doichi Hyuga remained as steady as ever and ignored her outright.

"Those explanations aren't convincing. A suspicious guy like you isn't allowed near my daughter in the future."

Seeing him play dumb, Tsunade immediately unleashed her ultimate weapon.

"Fine! You win. Wood Release isn't the only thing I can use. I'll let you see. What a bother."

Doichi Hyuga said helplessly.

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

Ice Release: Ice Sword Technique!

Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang!

A miniature Wood Dragon coiled around Doichi Hyuga. He held an ice sword in his right hand and spat a purple laser beam from his mouth.

Tsunade stared in dumbfounded shock, her expression completely out of control.

What kind of treasure of a man was this? What else could he not do?

After closing her mouth and rubbing her face, Tsunade asked as if casually:

"What other kekkei genkai can you use?"

"Just these!"

"Can you use the Wood Golem Technique and True Several Thousand Hands too?"

"No!"

Doichi Hyuga answered carelessly: Women shouldn't ask questions at random. Not even the mother of my child.

"Just how strong are you now?"

"Stronger than you!"

"Kid, can't you answer a question seriously?"

Tsunade's anger shot straight up. She always felt that he was not telling the truth.

"I already answered seriously."

Doichi Hyuga said solemnly.

"Qianyue is your daughter, so the things you can do... will she be able to learn them in the future too?"

"Maybe. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If she wants to, her chances of learning them are quite high."

"Hahahaha... Looks like you brat are somewhat useful after all. It wasn't for nothing that I slept with you."

Tsunade bumped him with her shoulder, casually saying something so outrageous.

"I spent a month conditioning your body before she was born. I wasn't taking advantage of you. And after Qianyue was born, I never stopped refining her body either. Did you think I spent every day merely playing around with the child?"

Doichi Hyuga shot her a disdainful glance and dispelled his ninjutsu.

"You damned brat, what does that look mean? Are you looking down on me? Back then, the talented young men pursuing me could have lined up from the Land of Fire's capital all the way to the end of the Nanga River."

"Pah! I'm still a heartthrob to thousands."

Age had become a sore point in Tsunade's heart, an uncrossable chasm standing mercilessly between them:

If I were thirty years younger, you think you could escape my grasp, Doichi Hyuga? Forget the door—even the window would be shut!

"Since you're so confident, how about we go get married?"

Doichi Hyuga said with a smile.

"That is absolutely out of the question!"

Tsunade's expression immediately turned ugly, and she decisively waved her hand in refusal.
