Hyuga Tenka

At the Konoha gates, an elegant youth in white robes carried a sword on his shoulder, with a black bundle hanging from the hilt.

The youth had long black hair casually tied behind his back. Looking at the Konoha gates, the thin lips on his chiseled face curved slightly upward.

The most striking feature of all was his pair of pure white eyes without pupils.

They radiated a constant sense of confidence and swagger.

Clearly, they were eyes without any other color besides white, yet anyone who saw them would involuntarily recall those two terms.

"I'm back again, Konoha!"

The youth took a stride, walking straight toward the interior of the gates!

Facing the ninja on gate-guard duty, he showed no intention of paying them any mind.

"Halt!"

"Who goes there?"

The guard's fierce shout made the youth's brows furrow slightly. He tilted his head a fraction, his icy voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation!

"You are—"

"You wanna die?"

"You... mm... mm..."

"Ah, sorry, he doesn't recognize you. Please go right ahead!"

After the youth spoke, the man beside him finally snapped out of the shock of seeing the youth.

He clamped a hand over his companion's mouth, hurriedly apologizing to the youth.

"Hah... boring!"

The youth sneered disdainfully, carrying his sword as he continued walking inward. Only after his back vanished from sight did the man finally let out a heavy breath and release his grip on his companion's mouth!

"Kotetsu Hagane, sir!"

"What were you doing just now? Why didn't you let me question him?"

"That bastard didn't undergo any inspection, and you just let him in like that. What if something goes wrong?"

"Shut your trap!"

"Tiedan!"

"Do you have any idea that if I hadn't reacted quickly, you'd be dead right now?"

"And I mean a pointless death, the kind where nobody avenges you—not even the Hokage!"

"You're only covering for Izumo for a single day, there's no need to throw your life away here."

"Kotetsu Hagane, sir, who on earth is he?"

"Acting so arrogant, do the adults in his family know about this?"

A trace of memory flashed across Kotetsu Hagane's gaze, immediately followed by a hint of fear!

"He... is the Konoha God of Gambling!"

"At age three, he gambled across Konoha without a single defeat, and Tsunade took him on as her apprentice!"

"The year he turned nine, he nearly slaughtered the clan elders from top to bottom!"

"All because those elders wanted to carve the Caged Bird seal onto his younger brother!"

"At the time, he roared: If anyone dares open their mouth today, I'll make Hyuga look upon a brand-new sky!"

"That same year, he punched the Hokage, slashed the elders with his sword, and cleanly hacked off one arm of a certain elder, along with two fingers of another!"

"He is the Konoha Madman: Hyuga Tenka!"

"Gulp..."

Tiedan swallowed involuntarily, his forehead covered in cold sweat!

What the hell kind of fierce bastard could actually pull off shit like that?

He gently touched his own neck. Good, oh good, my head's still attached!

"Kotetsu Hagane, sir, then... did nothing happen to him at all?"

"What could possibly happen?"

"Things blew up pretty big after that incident, and it almost triggered a war with Hidden Cloud!"

"But later on... Hidden Cloud operatives were hunted down by him all the way to the Land of Lightning."

"Rumor has it he even threw down with the Raikage, and after that, Hidden Cloud just let the matter drop!"

"When he got back, he still wanted to kill the elders. If Tsunade hadn't rushed back at the last second to drag him away, nobody would even know if Konoha had any elders left by now!"

"Still, right before he left, he threatened the Hokage, saying that if his father or younger brother suffered so much as a scratch while in Konoha—"

"When he returned, he would slaughter every last living soul in Konoha!"

"So, Tiedan!"

"You genuinely cheated death, you understand?"

"When it comes to the urge to kill, this guy's is bigger than anyone else's in Konoha!"

"If he wants someone dead, he never hesitates for even a split second."

Meanwhile, the Tenka they were talking about was currently kicking open the doors to the Hokage's Office with a single stride!

Seeing the Third Hokage flusteredly hiding something, he couldn't help but say with utter contempt:

"You're old enough to be a grandfather, what's the point of just staring? Can your little guy even still use it?"

The Third Hokage felt thoroughly awkward, yet he couldn't fly into a rage at the person standing before him.

"Tenka, you... how come you're back?"

"What, not welcome?"

Tenka narrowed his eyes slightly, a thread of dangerous light glinting within them!

The Third gave a start and hurriedly shook his head!

"Of course not. Tenka, you'll always be a part of Konoha. You're an Elite Jonin after all, how could you not be welcome?"

"Fine then, old man. Help me log my return. I won't disturb your scenery-watching, I'm heading home first!"

Without waiting for any reaction from the Third, Tenka finished speaking and turned to walk right out.

"Tenka, is your teacher still unwilling to come back?"

"Her? She says she hasn't had enough fun yet. When she's had her fill of playing, she'll return of her own accord!"

Tenka's footsteps never slowed, yet his voice drifted clearly into the Third's ears as if he were whispering right beside him!

Watching Tenka's retreating back, the Third felt a splitting headache. With this fierce star returned, the Third had zero clue on how to handle him.

Besides, this guy had gotten even stronger. The split second he had narrowed his eyes just now gave even the Third a heart-palpitating jolt.

That was a sensation he had never felt before, of that the Third was absolutely certain.

At the Hyuga Clan compound, Tenka looked at the imposing mansion before him, and the thick disdain in his heart simply refused to dissipate!

Even after having arrived in this world for eighteen years, his thoughts on the matter hadn't changed by a single fraction.

Tenka was a transmigrator, the eldest son of Hiashi Hyuga, and the older brother of Hyuga Neji.

The moment he opened his eyes and saw those painfully familiar features and the bandages wrapped around his forehead—

The intense unwillingness deep within his heart had surged unceasingly!

People always called the ninja world passionate, but to Tenka, it was nothing short of cold-blooded!

The sons of the Sage of Six Paths reincarnated; the Hokage's son remained the Hokage later on, the advisor's son remained the advisor, and the children of the scapegoats ended up as scapegoats in the end!

Why should they?

Tenka was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to change things—at the very least, to alter this tragic family!

Along with his transmigration came a pearl, fused directly into the space between his eyebrows, containing an extremely miraculous spatial domain!

Ever since he accidentally brought a deck of cards in there at the age of two, that space had unlocked the God of Gambling Legacy!

Through various gambling scenarios, culminating in a game against the God of Gambling himself, it took him ten months to pass the legacy trials.

Afterward, he hit up all the major casinos in Konoha, winning massive amounts of money, and set up a stall in the village, boasting that anyone who could beat him in a gamble could have all that wealth.

Doing this was, of course, to attract Tsunade's attention, because he needed a backing!

Later, he experimented by entering with nothing at all, resulting in only his eyes unlocking the legacy trials!

Various figures possessing the Byakugan formed barrier stages for him to conquer!

This led him to discover the evolutionary path of the Byakugan, revealing that its ultimate evolution was actually the Jōgan!

It was that very Jōgan belonging to Boruto—a power that only the Ōtsutsuki Main Family could master.

Those possessing the Byakugan were no weaklings, and a three-year-old Tenka naturally couldn't beat them.

So he brought a sword inside next, unlocking the path of the sword!

From then on, he discovered that no matter what else he brought inside, it would never trigger any new legacies.
