Teammates 3

Tianyun Hyuga spent the morning finding a deserted spot, paying one hundred million yuan to strengthen his body for the third time, and then testing its strength.

The results pleased Tianyun Hyuga. His physical strength now matched that of an ordinary Jonin. Even if he encountered one in the future, his bizarre Three Body Technique would let him hold his own for a while.

If he found an opening, Tianyun Hyuga believed he could even kill his opponent. That thought made him very happy.

In a good mood, Tianyun Hyuga found somewhere to have lunch, sparing himself the awful food Meicun Hyuga cooked at home. Only then did he leisurely head home for a nap, humming as he went.

As soon as he reached the Mansion's entrance, Tianyun Hyuga spotted the two deadweights, and his mood instantly soured. He walked over to them and said arrogantly, "You two, listen up. From now on, I'm your boss. What I say goes. You have to listen to me, and you can't go against my wishes. Understood...?"

Hinata Hyuga had little mind of her own, and Tianyun Hyuga was her teacher. Hearing him tell her to obey his orders, she nodded. "Okay. I'll listen to you from now on. I'll never go against your wishes, Teacher."

Tianyun Hyuga nodded in satisfaction, then asked Kimura Kokomi, "What about you? What's it going to be? If you won't listen to me, I'll ask that old Hokage to have you kicked out. Your choice!"

Kimura Kokomi was furious. Faced with Tianyun Hyuga, who was two years younger than her, even the restraint Root had drilled into her was close to breaking. She wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face.

But remembering the mission Lord Danzo had assigned her, she could only swallow her frustration and say, "I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you ask..."

Although Kimura Kokomi said she would obey Tianyun Hyuga, she had already decided to cause him plenty of trouble, annoy him to death, and show him what she was capable of.

Tianyun Hyuga had no idea what Kimura Kokomi was thinking. Seeing her submit, he told her and Hinata Hyuga with satisfaction, "All right, I'm going to take a nap. You two can go home! We'll meet at the barbecue restaurant at six this evening."

With that, Tianyun Hyuga paid Hinata Hyuga and Kimura Kokomi no further attention. He walked past them and entered the Mansion.

Kimura Kokomi stared blankly as Tianyun Hyuga left after making all the arrangements without consulting them. She couldn't help turning to Hinata Hyuga and asking, "Hinata, is he always like this? How do you even get along with him?"

A little shy, Hinata Hyuga shook her head and said, "As long as we listen to him, he's actually quite easy to talk to. You'll understand once you've spent more time with him."

The corner of Kimura Kokomi's mouth twitched. She stared at Hinata Hyuga's face for a long moment before saying, "I think you're the only one who can put up with his strange temper. I can't accept having to obey him in everything."

Hinata Hyuga said anxiously, "Kokomi, don't do anything reckless. He's terrifying when he loses his temper. Even my father doesn't dare provoke him."

Kimura Kokomi inwardly scoffed. Tianyun Hyuga was only six years old. How strong could he possibly be? She didn't believe Hyuga Hiashi would be afraid of him. In her view, Hyuga Hiashi was simply indulging him.

Of course, Kimura Kokomi wouldn't share those thoughts with Hinata Hyuga. Seeing how anxious and worried she looked, she couldn't help reassuring her. "All right, I'll listen to you. Where do we go now? Should we head home separately and meet up this afternoon...?"

Seeing that Kimura Kokomi had given up on defying Tianyun Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga sighed in relief. "All right! Go home and get some rest first. We'll meet this evening. Remember to bring some money. Tianyun never pays for his food, so keep that in mind..."

Tianyun Hyuga's stinginess made Kimura Kokomi's mouth twitch again. She nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll make sure to bring enough money. Don't worry, Hinata! Let's go. See you this afternoon..."

After agreeing on a time with Hinata Hyuga, Kimura Kokomi left the Hyuga Clan compound alone. She decided to go back and investigate Tianyun Hyuga more thoroughly, digging deeper into his background. Otherwise, she really couldn't be certain she could complete her mission.

At six that evening, Tianyun Hyuga arrived at the Konoha Barbecue Restaurant right on time.

As he entered the restaurant, he immediately spotted Hinata Hyuga and Kimura Kokomi sitting to the left of the entrance. Hinata Hyuga was waving at him, looking particularly excited.

Hinata Hyuga was indeed excited. Tomorrow would be her first mission and her first time leaving Konoha. For someone who had always been bound by strict rules, the prospect brought a sense of freedom.

Kimura Kokomi, sitting beside Hinata Hyuga, wore the same businesslike expression she had during their previous two meetings. She showed no particular warmth when Tianyun Hyuga approached.

To be honest, Kimura Kokomi was a pretty little girl, with long red hair and a delicate, adorable round face. Combined with her aloof expression, she looked like an icy beauty.

But Tianyun Hyuga had no interest in children. His wives were all stunning beauties, and in his eyes, neither Kimura Kokomi nor Hinata Hyuga could compare to them.

Hinata Hyuga and Kimura Kokomi had chosen a table for four and were sitting on the same side, so Tianyun Hyuga could only sit opposite them. Then he waved to a server and said, "Bring us three glasses of juice first, and another three in ten minutes."

At Tianyun Hyuga's order, Kimura Kokomi couldn't help inwardly scoffing. He certainly ordered generously for someone who refused to pay.

The waitress at the barbecue restaurant knew Tianyun Hyuga very well. After giving Kimura Kokomi and Hinata Hyuga an odd smile, she returned to the counter to prepare his juice, the corner of her mouth twitching.

Tianyun Hyuga knew perfectly well what the waitress was thinking: he had actually made two girls treat him to dinner.

But Tianyun Hyuga didn't care. He was still young, after all. At most, people would call him stingy; they wouldn't say anything else.

If Tianyun Hyuga kept making girls pay once he was older, he would probably become a major celebrity in Konoha.

Tianyun Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and Kimura Kokomi-the three Genin who were about to form a team-ate dinner at the Konoha Barbecue Restaurant in silence. It counted as their first gathering together.

When dinner ended, the wealthy Hinata Hyuga paid the bill. Tianyun Hyuga got up, told the two girls he would see them tomorrow morning, and dashed out of the barbecue restaurant, disappearing from their sight.
