Daimyo's Mansion Under the Night Sky!

Seeing Hyuga Setsuna awaken in the outside world, joy flashed through her eyes as she spoke with concern.

"Setsuna, thou art awake!"

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's concerned voice beside him, Hyuga Setsuna smiled warmly.

"Grandmother, thank you for earlier."

"If it hadn't been for you, I might truly have been unable to wake up!"

If Otsutsuki Kaguya had not acted in time to pull him out of that summons, he might truly have been unable to awaken.

Hyuga Setsuna sat cross-legged on the bed, rubbing his head as he said,

"Grandmother, that summons and connection just now came from the moon."

When that power of summoning and connection had reached him, Hyuga Setsuna had already sensed that it might have come from the Giant Tenseigan on the moon.

After all, at this point in the timeline, the Otsutsuki Branch Family on the moon had not yet sacrificed all their Byakugan to create another Tenseigan.

So the power that had connected with and summoned him must have been the Giant Tenseigan enshrined within the temple.

Within the Sealing Space, Otsutsuki Kaguya fell silent for a while before speaking. Her words carried an indescribable meaning as they echoed across the desolate white earth.

"It was Hamura!"

Hamura? Otsutsuki Hamura?

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's answer, Hyuga Setsuna's brows furrowed deeply.

Hyuga Setsuna began slowly recalling everything related to Otsutsuki Hamura from the original work.

Otsutsuki Hamura was the younger brother of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths.

Compared to Otsutsuki Hagoromo's highly conspicuous presence in the story, his younger brother Otsutsuki Hamura had barely any presence at all.

Like some kind of tool character?

Other than at the end, when he bestowed his Chakra upon Hyuga Hinata on the moon to stop Otsutsuki Toneri's plan to destroy the Shinobi World,

he had never appeared at any other time.

Judging by Otsutsuki Hamura's strength, he should have been in a state similar to Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths.

Only his physical body had died, while his soul had remained.

Then, if that power of summoning and connection had something to do with Otsutsuki Hamura, did that not mean he had already noticed him?

Did that not mean he and Otsutsuki Kaguya were exposed now, in danger at any moment?

Thinking of this, Hyuga Setsuna asked Otsutsuki Kaguya anxiously.

"Grandmother, has he noticed us?"

Within the Sealing Space, Otsutsuki Kaguya shook her head.

"Hamura has not noticed us. This one's body is still sealed within the Planetary Devastation, and the sealing power within thou is very strange. Hamura cannot discover it."

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's words, Hyuga Setsuna sighed in relief.

If Otsutsuki Hamura had truly discovered them, the still-undeveloped him would certainly have been killed.

And Otsutsuki Kaguya within him would have been sealed once more by the two brothers inside the Six Paths: Planetary Devastation. That was something Hyuga Setsuna would never allow to happen.

Touching the sky-blue Tenseigan in his eyes and sensing that the summons and connection from the moon had now vanished, Hyuga Setsuna asked worriedly,

"Grandmother, has that power of summoning and connection disappeared temporarily, or permanently?"

This question was extremely important to Hyuga Setsuna—important enough to determine whether he would use the Tenseigan in the future.

Within the Sealing Space, Otsutsuki Kaguya gazed calmly at the desolate white earth and said softly,

"Do not worry. With this one here, that power cannot pose any threat to thou!"

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's calm yet domineering words, Hyuga Setsuna froze.

That was right. He had Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime, the Ancestor of Chakra, inside him now. What was there to worry about?

The ones who should be worried were Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura. Once he freed Grandmother from her seal in the future, he would go beat up those two unfilial sons.

Then he would seal the two of them inside the Six Paths: Planetary Devastation as well, so they could have a taste of being sealed!

Hyuga Setsuna patted his face and forcibly calmed himself, no longer thinking about those messy goals. He was still far too weak.

He would have to wait until he became strong enough to reach Otsutsuki Kaguya's level before accomplishing those goals!

What he needed to do now was first figure out the identity of the soul body beside Akishinomiya Yuri!

With that thought, Hyuga Setsuna began mobilizing the Chakra within his body and gathering it into the Tenseigan in his eyes.

At this moment, the Tenseigan had perfectly inherited every ability of the Byakugan!

Through the Tenseigan's penetrating vision, Hyuga Setsuna discovered that Kakashi in the room next door was diligently refining Chakra.

Seeing Kakashi diligently refining Chakra in the room, sympathy flashed through Hyuga Setsuna's eyes. This guy would be utterly screwed over by Obito Uchiha's Sharingan in the future.

Although the Sharingan had been Obito Uchiha's birthday gift to him, it later placed an enormous burden on Kakashi's body and his limited Chakra reserves, since he lacked Uchiha blood.

Although Kakashi later awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and gained Kamui as his trump card, his own Chakra was so scarce that using it once left him weak. It was simply too pitiful!

Hyuga Setsuna shifted his gaze away from Kakashi and looked elsewhere.

Was that Daimyo Akishinomiya Kensuke?

Through the Tenseigan's insight, Hyuga Setsuna discovered Daimyo Akishinomiya Kensuke speaking with two male shinobi who possessed Chakra within their bodies in a secret chamber!

Looking at the Chakra within the two shinobi speaking with Daimyo Akishinomiya Kensuke, Hyuga Setsuna murmured,

"Jonin?"

It was already late at night outside, yet the daimyo was meeting with two shinobi in a secret chamber. A trace of confusion flashed through Hyuga Setsuna's eyes.

Looking at the three people in the secret chamber, Daimyo Akishinomiya Kensuke was still dressed in the luxurious attire exclusive to a daimyo.

The other two wore neither Hidden Leaf Village forehead protectors nor the uniforms of Daimyo's Mansion guards!

That meant they were not shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village, though it could not be ruled out that they truly were Leaf Village shinobi who simply were not wearing forehead protectors!

But if they were Leaf Village shinobi, who exactly had sent them?

Danzo? Or Sarutobi Hiruzen?

If they were not Leaf Village shinobi, that meant they were wandering shinobi from outside, or bounty hunters!

Of course, they might also have been shinobi secretly trained by the daimyo himself, unknown to everyone else.

Unfortunately, all three had their backs to Hyuga Setsuna while speaking. If they had faced him, perhaps he could have used lip-reading to learn the contents of their conversation!

In the end, after Daimyo Akishinomiya Kensuke finished speaking with the two shinobi, the three quickly left the secret chamber.

The two unidentified shinobi departed Daimyo's Mansion, while Daimyo Akishinomiya Kensuke returned to his bedroom and went to sleep with his wife in his arms!

Hyuga Setsuna shifted his gaze away as well.

He turned it toward his main target this time: the soul body beside Akishinomiya Yuri!

Through the Tenseigan's insight, Hyuga Setsuna quickly saw the situation inside the shrine, along with the soul body following Akishinomiya Yuri.

At the same time, Hyuga Setsuna saw a scene that made him blush!!

What was this?

Through the Tenseigan's x-ray vision and insight, Hyuga Setsuna saw scenery he had never witnessed in his previous life.

What a beautiful sight—white, round, and perky!

Though she was a little young?!

First update!

Sorry, sorry, this update came a little late today. I kept revising this chapter over and over.

The second update tonight will definitely be on time. Coo coo!!
