Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan and Taking Over Team 7

Hyuga Hiashi desperately hoped Cangyue would become the Fifth Hokage. If Cangyue did, it would be an honor recorded in the Hyuga Clan's history!

And through Aogetsu Hyuga, the clan's standing in the village would rise.

Aogetsu Hyuga gently stroked Hinata's head and asked with a faint smile, "Do you think the Hokage is great?"

"Very great." Hinata Hyuga nodded firmly.

"The Hokage is nothing but a lapdog," Aogetsu Hyuga said. "A lapdog with no freedom of his own. If I became Hokage, I wouldn't have time to train with you."

"You'd lose your big brother Cangyue," Aogetsu Hyuga teased.

"I... I don't want that." Hinata Hyuga clutched Cangyue's hand, a trace of stubbornness in her soft voice.

Knock, knock, knock! Someone knocked urgently at the courtyard gate.

Aogetsu Hyuga glanced at the gate. Through the Tenseigan, he saw that it was Kurenai Yuhi. "Sorry, nobody's home. Leave a message if you need something," he called casually.

"You pervert! You're obviously home!" Kurenai Yuhi appeared before Cangyue with a Body Flicker Technique, picked up Hinata Hyuga and set her aside, then grabbed Aogetsu Hyuga's hand.

"Come with me." Kurenai Yuhi hurried off, pulling Cangyue along as though something urgent had happened.

"Huh?" Hinata Hyuga stared blankly as Kurenai Yuhi and Cangyue disappeared into the distance...

At Kurenai Yuhi's home.

Aogetsu Hyuga sat on the soft sofa, looking at Kurenai Yuhi's icy expression. "Little Kurenai, what's gotten into you this late at night? Can't it wait until tomorrow?"

She had dragged him all the way to her house without saying a word.

"If it's urgent, I should say it now." Kurenai Yuhi recalled what Mei Terumi had said earlier. Anger flashed in her ruby-red eyes, but she bit her lip, looking conflicted.

"What, are you going to get drunk and start—"
