She had always regretted that her young master had been born blind, yet these people actually dared to whisper about it right in front of them, tearing open their wounds!
Her young master's eyes had always been one of her forbidden subjects!
Unforgivable!
Otsutsuki Quxian was furious!
Her snow-white hair rose slightly with the surge of chakra. She extended her fair right hand, white light gleaming.
An overwhelming pressure instantly swept through the entire restaurant, cutting the noisy chatter short.
Everyone stared at the young girl in terror.
She looked barely over ten, didn't she? How could she possibly be this strong?!
This place was not far from Konoha, so there were one or two Konoha ninja among the patrons, and those ninja could sense the strength of this delicately featured girl even more directly!
"How is that possible? She's barely over ten!" In a corner, a bearded young man with a cigarette between his lips felt that pressure and murmured in disbelief.
He was so shocked that the cigarette even fell from his mouth without him noticing.
He was none other than Asuma Sarutobi, a jonin of Konoha and the Third Hokage's son!
"What a terrifying prodigy. And her eyes..." A woman sitting opposite the bearded young man likewise narrowed her eyes, staring fixedly at Otsutsuki Quxian.
This woman was also a ninja of Konoha: the chunin Kurenai Yuhi, a delicately featured woman with dazzling, captivating red eyes.
At that moment, both of them watched Otsutsuki Quxian in shock. The mere pressure she released before attacking actually made it somewhat difficult for them to breathe.
What a terrifying girl!
"Enough, Quxian~ Those who don't know are not to blame. A little punishment to teach them a lesson is enough. Besides, I really am blind~"
Just as Otsutsuki Quxian was about to act, Otsutsuki Toneri's soft chuckle suddenly rang out. His gentle, childish voice slowly calmed the chakra surging around Otsutsuki Quxian.
They were only ordinary people. Stooping to their level would make him seem far too small-minded.
Besides, Otsutsuki Quxian's pressure had already taught them a lesson.
"...Yes, young master." Hearing him, Otsutsuki Quxian hesitated before reluctantly dispersing the chakra in her hand.
Though she was still somewhat angry inside, since Otsutsuki Toneri had spoken, she would not defy him.
Seeing that terrifying, monster-like girl stop, everyone in the restaurant could not help breathing a sigh of relief.
This time, however, nobody dared say anything careless. They all watched the pair silently, afraid the girl might suddenly attack the next moment.
"All right, be good~ Let's eat first. We still have to go to Konoha later." Otsutsuki Toneri paid no attention whatsoever to their gazes. Seeing that Otsutsuki Quxian was still rather unhappy, he gently comforted her.
Otsutsuki Quxian was attentive and extraordinarily gifted, and she considered everything with him, Otsutsuki Toneri, at the center. But she truly cared about him far too much.
Sometimes, Otsutsuki Quxian would fret and brood for a long time over trivial matters that Otsutsuki Toneri himself did not mind...
This must have been the proverbial case of the attendant fretting while the master remained calm~
The two walked over to the empty table and sat down. The waiter soon brought out the dishes they had ordered earlier.
Naturally, they had to serve these two important guests well. Otherwise, if they lost their tempers again and smashed up the restaurant, the staff would have nowhere to turn.
"Young master, judging by the route on the map, I think we should reach Konoha in about an hour." As she ate, Otsutsuki Quxian studied the map and spoke softly to Otsutsuki Toneri.
Now that they were on an unfamiliar continent, Otsutsuki Quxian would naturally take even greater care in handling every little matter for Otsutsuki Toneri.
She would never let her young master suffer any harm or unhappiness!
"An hour? That really isn't far." Otsutsuki Toneri pondered briefly, then chuckled.
Konoha, where Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke had started out, was also where everything had begun.
The Byakugan, Sharingan, and sage body all existed in that village. It truly was an interesting place.
Otsutsuki Toneri's smile deepened. His eyes were waiting for him there, too!
He could hardly wait. Otsutsuki Toneri could already hardly wait!
He had had enough of the frustration of seeing nothing but darkness. Ultimately, the Rinnegan could not replace his own eyes.
Meanwhile, at a dining table not far from Otsutsuki Toneri and his companion, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma exchanged solemn looks.
They had been secretly observing these two children. The pair were far too strange.
Their peculiar clothes and unusual hair colors gave both of them a deeply uncanny air.
Without ninja forehead protectors, there was no way to determine where they came from.
And that girl's eyes-there was no mistaking them, absolutely no mistaking them. They were the Byakugan!
But they had never heard of the Hyuga Clan having such an outstanding child!
Moreover, judging by her attitude and words toward that blind boy, this girl with such exceptional talent and strength was actually a servant?
Damn, what was wrong with this world?!
Asuma could not help inwardly cursing and complaining. As the Third Hokage's son and Konoha's foremost young master, why didn't he have a maid so outstanding and perfect in strength, talent, and looks?
It practically made him want to cough up blood!
After all, aside from his delicate looks and perhaps his seemingly more mature disposition, there was nothing particularly special about this child, Otsutsuki Toneri.
If he had to name something, being blind certainly was unusual...
What had he done to deserve such a maid?
(Please support in every way!)
Chapter 12: Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi! Sixth update!
Still, no matter how much he grumbled inwardly, it was only grumbling...
"Asuma, I think this matter..." Kurenai Yuhi frowned, glancing at the two children out of the corner of her eye as she spoke softly to Asuma.
From what they had said, they were heading to Konoha!
Both children were somewhat strange, especially that girl. To possess such strength at her age, she could not be underestimated!
"I know. About this... perhaps we could approach them." Asuma rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He was, after all, the Third Hokage's son, and both his talent and intellect were fairly good.
Neither child wore a forehead protector. Either they had hidden them, or they were not ninja.
Whatever their purpose, they would not be able to stir up much trouble once they entered Konoha. That girl might be strong, but could she possibly be stronger than Konoha?
Impossible. Konoha was the strongest!
That was exactly what Asuma thought!
Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Toneri was still eating his dishes elegantly. As far as he was concerned, this first meal since arriving on the continent was palatable enough.
Perhaps because he had come to the shinobi world and regained his freedom, he was truly in a pleasant mood.
As for the two ninja secretly watching them, he had naturally noticed, but he did not care.
Mere ants!
Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga. Their eyes would certainly be the most suitable... Otsutsuki Toneri pondered inwardly, considering the matter of his eyes.
In terms of Byakugan purity, naturally, the Hyuga Clan's Main Family possessed the purest Byakugan bloodline.
And at present, Hinata Hyuga's and Hanabi Hyuga's eyes were among the finest in the entire Hyuga Clan.
The title of Byakugan Princess was not an empty one!
So the two of them were naturally the most perfect candidates.
In the original story, Otsutsuki Toneri had awakened the Tenseigan by transplanting Hanabi Hyuga's Byakugan.
However...
I still have some fondness for them, after all~ Never mind, I'll see when the time comes. Besides, with so many people in the Hyuga Main Family, surely there must be other children?
As Otsutsuki Toneri thought this, recalling the memories of his previous life, he decided to take a look first before making a decision.
After all, the Hyuga Clan was one of Konoha's leading clans and had many members. Those with pure Byakugan were not few in number either.
Unless necessary, Otsutsuki Toneri did not want to take these two girls' eyes. Whatever the case, he did have some fondness for them.
Just as his thoughts reached this point, Otsutsuki Toneri sensed the two ninja from Konoha walking toward them.
"Hello. Sorry to interrupt, but we happened to hear just now that you're going to Konoha. Is that right?" Kurenai Yuhi looked at the two children with their exquisite, flawless features and spoke with a gentle smile.
After careful discussion, they had decided to approach the two children after all.
Though they felt these children were somewhat strange, they did not look like vicious, bloodthirsty people.
Surely they would not kill the two of them just for coming over to talk?
"Yes. May I ask who you are?" Otsutsuki Toneri tilted his head up slightly toward them and asked curiously.
He genuinely did not know who these two were. His perception could only detect objects and presences; it was not something like divine sense that could serve as eyes and let him see objects...
However, he loosened the hand beneath the table slightly, and the scarlet Rinnegan opened a sliver.
"I'm Kurenai Yuhi, a chunin of Konoha, and this is Asuma Sarutobi, a jonin of Konoha." Noticing that Otsutsuki Toneri's attitude was fairly friendly, Kurenai Yuhi could not help smiling a little.
This boy had a much better disposition than that girl.
"I see. So you're ninja from Konoha. Forgive my poor hospitality. Please, sit." Hearing this, Otsutsuki Toneri pondered briefly, then immediately smiled politely at them.
Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma. What a coincidence. Had he actually encountered two named figures just after arriving near Konoha?
"I am Otsutsuki Toneri, and this is my maid, Otsutsuki Quxian. It is a great honor to meet two ninja from Konoha." After the pair sat down, Otsutsuki Toneri introduced himself and his companion with a smile.
Though he did not know why they had approached, barring anything unusual, they merely wanted some information about the two of them.
Otsutsuki Toneri did not mind. Asuma happened to be the Third Hokage's son, and entering Konoha would be much easier with him leading the way.
Moreover, he could also use this opportunity to meet that Professor of Ninjutsu, the Third Hokage.
He was the longest-serving Hokage, as well as the longest-lived! The man who had led Konoha to its peak!
Though Otsutsuki Toneri had always felt that Konoha had been strongest when it was first founded...
Well, those two cheats, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, could each take on the entire shinobi world alone...
