In a corner of the once-empty courtyard now stood a brand-new three-story wooden house, brimming with a natural charm.

He shook his head, marveling at "the power and convenience of Wood Release," while wondering whether he should ask this "visitor from another world" to expand the Hyuga Clan's training grounds or library as well...
