Tianyun Hyuga exchanged an A-rank ninjutsu for five B-rank techniques and asked the Third Hokage to keep his mother safe while she took missions. After choosing his scrolls, he left with Iruka to meet Hyuga Hiashi, keeping the ten million in a leather bag from Meicun Hyuga.

• Meicun Hyuga accepted the arrangement and reminded Tianyun Hyuga of the Branch Family's duty to protect the Main Family, while Hiashi recognized that Tianyun responded to benefits and mutual exchange rather than coaxing.

Hyuga Hiashi tried to win Tianyun Hyuga over with gifts and arranged for Hinata Hyuga to learn the New Gentle Fist from him. As Tianyun left with Meicun Hyuga, Hiashi planned to secretly give him ten million, while Meicun's questions on the way home ended when Tianyun activated his Byakugan.

That evening, Tianyun began teaching Hinata Hyuga the New Gentle Fist Technique, but his impatient manner left her close to tears.

• Tianyun Hyuga calculated that his income from enhancing kunai would take ten months to pay for enhancing his Byakugan, and decided he could not safely increase his output without greater strength.
