The Upcoming Second Mission!

The next morning.

Hyuga Setsuna slowly climbed out of bed, yawning with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Last night, in order to comfort Otsutsuki Kaguya, he had voluntarily entered the Sealing Space to act cute and pamper her. In the end, he had even served as a body pillow for a while before she let him out.

Though he had said he was going in to comfort her, in reality, Hyuga Setsuna had gone to keep her company!

After all, Otsutsuki Kaguya had been sealed by her own two children and endured a thousand years of darkness, loneliness, and isolation.

She had finally managed to escape the seal as a soul, only to be sealed away inside Hyuga Setsuna's body once more. She had truly been terribly unlucky.

So, Hyuga Setsuna had enjoyed yesterday's comfort—or rather, companionship—just as much himself.

Every once in a while, he had to keep an empty-nester like Otsutsuki Kaguya company!

After washing up, Hyuga Setsuna came to the courtyard and gazed at the distant Hokage Monument and the vast, clear blue sky, his mind filled with thoughts.

Ever since he had transmigrated into this world, he had once been utterly despairing. Only Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime's appearance had given him a sliver of hope.

Now, feeling the surging power within his body, he could not help sighing at how unpredictable life was.

Who could have imagined that a child from the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family would possess such power?

The world was just that unreal, yet it was filled with miraculous drama!

He left the house and arrived on the bustling streets of Leaf Village.

Today was a period of rest after finishing a mission, and the time for the next mission had not yet arrived. It was the perfect day to casually wander around the Hidden Leaf Village.

In the five years since he had transmigrated here, he seemed to have spent all his time desperately training himself. He had never properly explored the village even once.

Walking along the lively street, Hyuga Setsuna wore a bright, sunny smile.

Those nearby could only feel that this child from the Hyuga Clan was exceptionally handsome and delicate.

Seeing the warm smiles on the faces of the people on the street, as well as the spirited ninja passing by on missions, he understood. Wasn't the happiness of the villagers what they risked their lives to protect?

Hyuga Setsuna arrived at a shop where he often bought breakfast and spoke to the uncle inside, who was busily preparing the morning meal.

"Uncle Kishimoto, one serving of tamagoyaki and natto rice, please."

Inside the breakfast shop, Uncle Kishimoto, who was preparing the food, spoke with a smile.

"Isn't this Setsuna-kun? It's been a long time since you came to buy breakfast."

"Haha, I've been busy lately!"

Hyuga Setsuna casually found a seat in the shop, sat down, and replied with a smile.

Uncle Kishimoto grinned and said,

"Hmm, I heard you graduated early, Setsuna-kun. You're truly outstanding! It would be wonderful if my future child were as outstanding as you."

"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Kishimoto. Your future child will definitely be very outstanding!"

"Really? Then I'll gladly accept your blessing, Setsuna-kun."

With that, Uncle Kishimoto brought the already-prepared large serving of tamagoyaki and natto rice to Hyuga Setsuna's table.

Looking at the clearly oversized portion of tamagoyaki and natto rice on the table, Hyuga Setsuna said in surprise,

"Uncle Kishimoto, you gave me too much breakfast."

"Setsuna-kun, I specially increased the portion for you. Only if you eat your fill will you have the strength to complete missions and train!"

Looking at Uncle Kishimoto, who was giving him a thumbs-up as he spoke, Hyuga Setsuna accepted it with a helpless smile.

As he ate the tamagoyaki and natto rice, Hyuga Setsuna watched Uncle Kishimoto enthusiastically prepare breakfast nearby.

When he had first transmigrated here and came to eat breakfast, hearing the uncle before him called Kishimoto had made him think the real Kishimoto had transmigrated here too.

Later, after investigating, he confirmed that they merely shared the same name and were not the same person.

As for Uncle Kishimoto's neighbors, he had heard that they were named Oda, Nasu, and Urobuchi.

Back then, it had thoroughly stunned the newly transmigrated Hyuga Setsuna. Those names were no joke.

Before long, Hyuga Setsuna finished breakfast, stood, and came before Uncle Kishimoto. After paying, he said with a smile,

"Uncle Kishimoto, thank you for breakfast. I'll be going now."

With that, Hyuga Setsuna turned and walked out toward the street.

Inside the shop, Uncle Kishimoto watched Hyuga Setsuna's departing figure and said to an uncle beside him,

"Oda, I have a feeling that Setsuna will definitely become a great ninja in the future. He may even change the era of ninja!"

"You trust your own judgment that much, Kishimoto?"

Uncle Kishimoto, who was diligently preparing breakfast in the shop, wore a proud smile as he said,

"Trust Kishimoto's judgment! I'm absolutely right!"

At that moment, Hyuga Setsuna was walking along another street and had not heard the conversation between Uncle Kishimoto and Oda. If he had, he would not have known whether to laugh or cry.

As Hyuga Setsuna slowly walked down the street, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking at that distinctive oval face, her graceful Yamato Nadeshiko-like temperament, her smooth black hair flowing behind her, and that seductive, fiery, devilish figure—

Hyuga Setsuna already knew who the person before him was.

His gaze began to slowly drift downward of its own accord.

What came into view was: "Big! Very big!"

Previously, it had been concealed beneath the Anbu's loose robes, so he had not noticed. Now she was wearing casual clothing.

At a single glance, the impression she gave was simply "big!" And considering that she was only twelve yet already so "big," it was simply... (You can imagine the rest yourselves. I won't write it out. ヽ(▽)ノ)

Gekko Baiyue naturally noticed where the brat's gaze had landed. There was nothing she could do about it—she did not want them to be this big either.

When carrying out missions, she had also felt that these things got in the way. But apparently, she had developed quite well. All she could say was that it was heaven's arrangement.

Very quickly, Hyuga Setsuna forced himself to look away. It was not that he did not want to keep looking, but the emotions coming from Otsutsuki Kaguya within the Sealing Space were simply too terrifying.

Hyuga Setsuna felt that if he kept looking, the first thing Otsutsuki Kaguya would do upon emerging from the seal would be to kill Gekko Baiyue.

"Good morning, Captain Baiyue!"

Seeing that Hyuga Setsuna had finally moved his gaze away, Gekko Baiyue maintained her indifferent expression and said,

"I came to notify you. Report to the Anbu tomorrow. There's a mission that requires you to carry it out!"

The moment her words fell, Hyuga Setsuna caught the crucial point. You = me = by myself?

Hyuga Setsuna asked with a puzzled expression,

"Captain Baiyue, did I hear that right? Just me alone? What about you, Captain?"

"The mission order I received says that you are to go alone. As for me, the Third Hokage has assigned me another mission. It's classified, so I can't tell you about it."

With that, Gekko Baiyue did not wait for Hyuga Setsuna to react before directly using the Body Flicker Technique and vanishing.

Standing where he was, Hyuga Setsuna lightly furrowed his brow and muttered,

"A mission that requires me to carry it out alone?"
