So Tsunade wholeheartedly supported Shin Uchiha's plan to copy the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan. In fact, when she learned what he intended to do, she had already started wondering whether her future children with Shin would inherit the many kekkei genkai he possessed, and whether one might happen to inherit the Byakugan.

"If you want to copy the Hyuga Clan's kekkei genkai, there's no need to make it so complicated."
With that, Tsunade called out, "Shizune, go invite the Hyuga Clan Leader and his wife over. Have them bring their daughter, Hinata. Tell them I'm thinking of taking an apprentice and would like to assess her talent."
Shizune acknowledged Lady Tsunade's instructions, put down her work, and hurried out.

After all, the Byakugan would merely be an added bonus for him.
Shin Uchiha knew that Tsunade had not sent Shizune rushing off to the Hyuga Clan merely to show off her
