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 clingy. In the end, he had even served as a body pillow for a while before being released.
Though he had said he was going to comfort her last night, 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 lonely darkness.
Her soul had finally escaped the seal, only to be confined within Hyuga Setsuna's body once more. She really had the worst luck.
So, Hyuga Setsuna's comfort—or rather, companionship—yesterday had been something he enjoyed as well.
He had to keep Otsutsuki Kaguya, that empty-nest elderly woman, company once in a while!
After washing up, Hyuga Setsuna came to the courtyard and gazed at the distant Hokage Monument and the vast, clear blue sky, his thoughts drifting endlessly.
Ever since he had transmigrated into this world, he had once fallen into despair. It was not until Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime appeared that he was given a glimmer of hope.
Now, as he felt the surging power within his body, he could not help but sigh at the unpredictability of fate.
Who could have imagined that a child from the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family could possess such power?
The world was just that unreal, yet filled with miraculous drama!
He left the house and arrived on Leaf Village's bustling streets.
Today was a period of rest after completing a mission, and the agreed time for the next mission had not yet arrived. It was the perfect chance to casually stroll around Konoha.
During 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 around him could only think that this child of the Hyuga Clan was remarkably handsome and refined.
Seeing the warm smiles on the faces of the people in the street, as well as the fighting spirit of the passing ninja carrying out missions, he understood that this was exactly what they risked their lives to protect: the happiness of the people in the village.
Hyuga Setsuna came to a shop where he often bought breakfast and spoke to the uncle busy preparing morning food inside.
"Uncle Kishimoto, one serving of tamagoyaki and natto rice, please."
Inside the breakfast shop, Uncle Kishimoto, who was preparing food, smiled warmly.
"Isn't this Setsuna-kun? It's been a long time since you came to buy breakfast."
"Ha ha, I've been busy with things 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 really outstanding! It would be wonderful if my future child could be as outstanding as you."
"Ha ha, 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 serving 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 gave you extra! Only when you eat your fill will you have the strength to complete missions and train!"
Seeing Uncle Kishimoto speaking to him with a thumbs-up, Hyuga Setsuna accepted it with a helpless smile.
As he ate the tamagoyaki and natto rice, Hyuga Setsuna watched Uncle Kishimoto enthusiastically preparing breakfast nearby.
When he had first transmigrated here and came to eat breakfast, hearing the uncle in front of him called Kishimoto had once made him think the real Kishimoto had transmigrated here too.
Later, after checking things out, 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.
That had thoroughly stunned the newly transmigrated Hyuga Setsuna. After all, those names were no joke.
Before long, Hyuga Setsuna finished breakfast, rose to his feet, 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 headed out toward the street.
Inside the shop, Uncle Kishimoto watched Hyuga Setsuna's departing figure and said to another uncle in the shop,
"Oda, I have a feeling that Setsuna will definitely become a great ninja in the future, perhaps even change the era of ninja!"
"You trust your own judgment that much, Kishimoto?"
Uncle Kishimoto, who was concentrating on preparing breakfast, wore a proud smile as he said,
"Trust Kishimoto's judgment! I'm absolutely right!"
At that moment, Hyuga Setsuna was walking along a street elsewhere. He 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 before him.
Looking at the distinctive oval face before him, the gentle elegance of a traditional Japanese lady, her smooth black hair flowing behind her, and her alluring, 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 entered his view was: "Big! Very big!"
It had been concealed beneath the loose Anbu robes before, so he had not noticed. Now, she was wearing ordinary clothes.
At a glance, the only impression was "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 Hakugetsu naturally noticed where this little boy's gaze had landed. There was nothing she could do; she did not want to grow this big either.
When carrying out missions, she had often found these things troublesome, but she seemed to have developed quite well in daily life. All she could say was that it was heaven's arrangement.
Hyuga Setsuna quickly forced himself to look away. It was not that he did not want to keep looking, but the emotions Otsutsuki Kaguya sent from the Sealing Space were simply too terrifying.
Hyuga Setsuna felt that if he kept staring, the first thing Otsutsuki Kaguya would do upon emerging from the seal would be to kill Gekko Hakugetsu.
"Good morning, Captain Hakugetsu!"
Seeing that Hyuga Setsuna had finally moved his gaze away, Gekko Hakugetsu 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 key point: "you = myself = alone?"
Hyuga Setsuna asked with a puzzled expression,
"Captain Hakugetsu, did I hear that right? I'm going alone? What about you, Captain?"
"The mission notice I received said 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 Hakugetsu did not wait for Hyuga Setsuna to react. She directly used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished.
Standing where he was, Hyuga Setsuna frowned slightly and muttered,
"A mission for me to carry out alone?"
