The Old Village Chief was reinstated.
Battered by disaster after disaster, Konoha was like an aging machine. Though its parts had long since rotted beyond repair, it still managed to creak back into operation.
After the grief came opportunities, and some people seized them to prove themselves during the reconstruction work.
Others kept their heads down and did their assigned jobs.
From the very beginning of the disaster, under Hyuga Hitoshi's far-sighted leadership, the Hyuga Clan had remained stationed around the village's perimeter.
They claimed it was to guard against other ninja villages joining forces with the mastermind behind the scenes, and as a result, they had suffered little loss amid the chaos.
Nor could anyone use that against the Hyuga Clan.
There was no reason to.
The great Hitoshi Clan Head had led from the front, entering the area ravaged by the Nine-Tails alone on multiple occasions and saving Countless People.
Clan Head's actions had won the approval of his clansmen as well, and Hyuga Hitoshi's prestige rose another level.
The village began reconstruction.
The Hyuga Clan held firmly to their posts, conscientiously completing the work assigned to them without fighting over tasks that were not theirs.
They were strictly carrying out their clan head's orders.
There would be plenty of chances to show themselves. The battlefields of the future were destined to make the Hyuga Clan famous.
There was no need to seek attention through a disaster.
Hyuga Clan.
Outside the reception room in the clan land.
A slender figure rushed in energetically.
"Brother Hitoshi!"
Her ruby-like eyes brimmed with delight. Without a trace of restraint on her Pretty Face, Yuhi Kurenai Jogged All the Way and threw herself into Hyuga Hitoshi's In One's Arms.
"You're here."
Hyuga Hitoshi smiled and patted her little head.
By seniority, Yuhi Kurenai should have called him uncle. After all, whenever they worked together, he and Yuhi Shin'en addressed each other as brothers.
But it did not matter. They could each use their own form of address.
Born in Konoha's thirty-third year, Yuhi Kurenai was now fifteen.
The Ninja School students of her class had been unlucky enough to encounter the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War. They had generally graduated early and been sent to the battlefield as Cannon Fodder.
Yuhi Kurenai had been fortunate. Protected by her father, she had grown up safely and become a chunin two years ago.
Well, in this obviously precocious world, she was already considered a grown young woman, so she did not hide her feelings.
To be fair, Brother Hitoshi still had some principles for the time being. Although Kurenai had hinted that Hyuga Pakura was acceptable and that she herself could change her name to Hyuga Kurenai, Brother Hitoshi had told her to wait a little longer.
"I just saw Clan Head Fugaku. What were you and Brother Hitoshi talking about?"
After thinking for a moment, Yuhi Kurenai snuggled further into Hyuga Hitoshi's arms, her Pretty Face utterly serious.
"My father told me to stay as far away from people of that clan as possible. Brother Hitoshi, you need to be careful."
Facts Prove that one should never treat the people in a village like idiots.
Anyone with eyes and a brain likely understood the Third's attitude toward the Uchiha after he took office this time. Warning their children to stay away from trouble was perfectly reasonable.
Besides, those Red-Eye Disease fellows were stubborn too. If you would not play with them, they would not play with you! That had also indirectly caused them to become increasingly unwelcome in the village.
However—
This time, he was here!
He was the man standing behind his sister-in-law!
"Your uncle is right. Nothing wrong with that."
Hitoshi Clan Head Readily Complied. Some things were Still Has Not Suitable for Yuhi Kurenai to know.
"By the way, Asuma hasn't been bothering you again, has he?"
After thinking about it, Hyuga Hitoshi asked curiously.
It was no secret in Konoha that the Hokage's Son had feelings for Yuhi Kurenai.
Of course.
As the clan head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hitoshi did not hold much hostility toward Asuma, nor did he regard him as an enemy.
It was understandable for a young man to admire a beautiful girl.
Moreover, he would never look down on someone from the perspective of a reincarnator who knew the Original Work.
Where did life get so much resentment?
Wouldn't That Be beneath him to Bother With a child at every turn?
Thus, when it came to Asuma, he often instructed him as a senior.
He believed that even the spoiled brat from the Original Work who could fight his own father would be reformed under his influence. He would surely live up to his patient guidance.
"It was still because of last time. He asked how Brother Hitoshi became so popular with girls."
Yuhi Kurenai's expression was complicated as she glanced at the man she loved.
"He's probably at Training Grounds Number 7 right now, following the True Man Guide you gave him and training his lower body."
A teachable child.
Hyuga Hitoshi's face was full of gratification.
If the Old Village Chief learned that his child had turned over a new leaf, he would probably be very happy too.
Imagining him becoming a daimyo's Guard with a body full of muscles in the future, he could even be known alongside those fellows from the Fire Temple as Muscle Monk Asuma!
"In that case, it seems this clan head cannot slack off either."
With a smile, Hyuga Hitoshi stood up and led Yuhi Kurenai out of the reception room by her little hand.
Thanks to his excellent Time Management and his principle of always getting enough sleep, Hyuga Hitoshi was now exceptionally energetic. If he had a system panel, it would definitely display an extremely positive status effect.
So he had no intention of wasting time.
What happened with the Fugaku brothers depended entirely on their own judgment. The Uchiha's Aggressive Kid would make their clan head choose; he did not need to Point Fingers.
As the clan head of the Hyuga Clan, he had work of his own to do.
He did not need to worry about clan administration. What he needed to do was leave enough foundation and reserves for a powerful clan that could be passed down through generations.
For any powerful clan, a strong clan head was One Aspect.
But there was only one clan head, and it was impossible for him to personally handle everything.
The entire clan needed to Become Stronger together!
That was the path of a powerful clan.
After entering the Drunkard State yesterday and resolving quite a few cultivation issues, he had already notified Hyuga Gyuba to gather the clan's elite guard unit.
Whether it was to make the Hyuga Clan famous on future battlefields or to welcome the coming act of betraying one's master and destroying one's ancestors when they went to the moon Not Long After.
He needed a group of powerful subordinates to become the Sharp Blade in his hand.
Yuhi Kurenai had actually gotten quite a bargain. Thanks to her relationship with Hitoshi, she had learned plenty by watching whenever he taught his clansmen. Her strength had risen rapidly as well, and Hyuga Hitoshi had even given her a cultivation method suited to her personally.
Otherwise, did anyone really think Yuhi Shin'en would willingly let someone court his daughter?
Hyuga Hitoshi was unfathomable—this assessment had likely sunk deep into Yuhi Shin'en's heart. Coupled with the fact that Brother Hitoshi had not rushed to befriend his daughter, he knew Hitoshi was a man with a sense of propriety. There were some things he did not need to say aloud.
Hyuga Clan Land.
Within the clan's exclusive Training Grounds.
A barrier capable of blocking the Old Village Chief's Crystal Ball had long been set up.
As for ordinary spies trying to watch the Hyuga Clan, that was simply impossible.
Therefore, everything that happened here was an absolute secret of the Hyuga Clan.
As for Yuhi Kurenai?
The clansmen did not care. They believed their clan head knew how to handle women.
"What I'll be teaching today is the foundation of all foundations."
Standing at the front and gazing at his fanatical clansmen below, Hyuga Hitoshi showed no fear.
"It is called Chakra Nature Transformation!"
Boom!
Nintaijutsu erupted!
Azure Chakra emerged from Hyuga Hitoshi's body and wrapped around him, his presence bursting forth in an instant.
But that was not the end.
As the Chakra began to emit scorching heat, a flicker of Flame suddenly appeared!
The fire continued to burn, and in the next moment, it completely engulfed Hyuga Hitoshi!
It was no exaggeration to say that the bargain version of Lightning Release Chakra Mode from before had now Became a genuine Fire Release Chakra Mode.
But this was merely the prelude.
From within the flames came the clan head's roar.
"Hyuga Style Super Kill! Final Mystery—Formless Style!"
Rumble!
The earth shook, and flames soared into the sky.
The violent tremors made the clansmen in the front row drop to their knees in terror. Their eyes all turned toward the slightly warped space struck by their clan head, as well as the bottomless crater.
Clan Head called this Chakra Nature Transformation??
