Shinsei knew his demands were somewhat excessive. However, as the client, making seemingly outrageous requests was normal practice.
What if they actually succeed?
After assigning the mission to the Yamanaka Clan members, Shinsei arranged for several ninjas from the Sealing Squad to assist them, then left gracefully, ignoring the group of people scratching their heads in frustration.
Time waits for no one! It seems the current predicament won't erupt anytime soon, but who can truly know whether tomorrow or an unexpected event will come first?
Although Otsutsuki Kaguya has been temporarily thrown into another Shinobi World, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she won't be able to return for the time being.
However, Madara Uchiha was able to travel freely between the two worlds, so it's unknown when we'll see him again, or perhaps we'll never see him again, replaced by Otsutsuki Kaguya, Madara Uchiha wants to devour the Chakra of all humanity.
And then there's the Sage of Six Paths, that sinister old man, who's always lurking in the shadows, spying on the Shinobi World.
Xiaobai has told Shinsei many times that there are spatial fluctuations nearby, and the only one who can hide his identity at this time is the Sage of Six Paths.
Now that the crisis in the Shinobi World has temporarily subsided, Shinsei finally has time to deal with some matters.
He went straight to the Hyuga Clan's territory. When the two Hyuga Clan members guarding the gate saw Shinsei, one immediately ran into the mansion, while the other warmly welcomed Shinsei inside.
He now has a good relationship with the Hyuga Clan, and these Branch Family members no longer obstruct him as before, but instead greet him warmly on behalf of the main family. As he walked into the inner courtyard, Hyuga Hiashi, Hanabi Hyuga, and Hinata Hyuga came to greet Shinsei.
" Lord Shinsei, please come in!" Hyuga Hiashi greeted Shinsei with a broad smile, gesturing for him to enter.
The Hyuga Clan has played a vital role in protecting the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path these past few days, which has brought them prestige in Konoha and highlighted the importance of the Hyuga Clan.
After the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, all the clans, big and small, in Konoha were on edge, fearing that their own clan would become the next Uchiha.
Even knowing that the Uchiha Clan has its own unique characteristics, how could these ninja clans not be afraid of such a thing?
Even if the Uchiha Clan was hated before, they were still one of the founding clans of Konoha. If even such a clan could be wiped out, then the remaining ninja clans would not be able to cause any trouble for the Konoha High Command.
It's said that Uchiha Itachi massacred his own clan, but that's just nonsense that can only fool ordinary people.
With the tacit approval and assistance of Konoha High Command, it would have been impossible for Uchiha Itachi, a mere 13-year-old boy, to accomplish this feat.
Therefore, the result was that when the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, faced Orochimaru alone, no ninja clans came to his aid.
It wasn't until Tsunade and governed for two years that these ninja clans regained their confidence.
Even seeing that Shinsei First Hokage, Konoha had no prejudice against the ninja clans and instead tried to win them over, which revitalized the Konoha.
Shinsei had previously considered strengthening the ranks of civilian ninjas, since the idea of equality for all was ingrained in his memories from his previous life.
However, after careful consideration, he realized that this was simply unrealistic in the Shinobi World, a world where bloodlines were paramount.
Putting aside other factors, he himself possesses the bloodline of the Senju Clan, which greatly benefited him. Furthermore, strengthening civilian ninjas does not necessarily require suppressing ninja clans; the two are not inherently contradictory.
If everyone is treated equally, the capable rise and the incompetent fall, giving both a fair chance to compete, or even simply increasing intermarriage between them to spread their bloodline.
In this way, exceptional geniuses will emerge from the vast population of ordinary people.
After inviting Shinsei into the house, his apprentice Hanabi Hyuga diligently brewed a pot of tea and brought out some snacks, wishing she could offer all the best things to her master.
Then, in front of Hyuga Hiashi, she walked behind Shinsei and started massaging his shoulders. This made Shinsei a little embarrassed.
He adhered to the principle that "having apprentices but not using them is the same as having no apprentices at all." Whenever he had free time, he would have his apprentices massage his shoulders, thus carrying forward the tradition of respecting teachers.
I never expected that Hanabi Hyuga would bring this tradition into her home.
Shinsei coughed twice, signaling Hanabi to stop.
Hanabi Hyuga was still young and didn't understand her teacher's meaning. She thought that she wasn't using enough force, so she increased the force.
Shinsei glanced at Hyuga Hiashi sitting opposite him and noticed that he wasn't unhappy at all; on the contrary, he looked pleased and said to Hyūga Shinsei:
"It's so nice to be this age. Back then, the elders of my clan took me as their apprentice and taught me Ninjutsu, but I was only afraid of their authority. I didn't have the good relationship you have."
Looking back now, I think if I had been bolder back then, my relationship with the elders would probably have been closer. But now there's no chance to see that for sure.
Shinsei echoed, " Hiashi, times are changing."
After all, the age difference between me and my students is not that great, and I don't want to always have a stern face when I'm with them. That would only stifle their natural instincts and prevent them from developing properly.
Hyuga Hiashi Lord Shinsei is absolutely right."
No wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age; his thinking is far superior to that of us old fogies.
"Not at all, Lord Hiashi upholds tradition, something a young man like me can't compare to."
For a time, the two were caught up in mutual flattery.
Taking a sip of tea, Shinsei said to Hyuga Hiashi, "The main reason I've come is to invite my junior sister Hinata to accompany me to another Shinobi World to handle some matters."
Hinata was fiddling with her fingers with her head down, looked up at Shinsei, then quickly stole a glance at her father before lowering her head again. Her face was already turning red, and the roots of her ears were visibly flushed.
"It is an honor for Lord Shinsei Hinata. Hinata, why don't you go with Lord Shinsei?" said Hyuga Hiashi.
Hinata lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement. Hyuga Hiashi didn't even ask what Hinata was to do before simply letting Hinata follow Shinsei, which showed the utmost trust he had in him.
As a father, Hiashi had already received whispers from others about his daughter's attitude towards Shinsei.
However, unlike Inoichi Yamanaka, he didn't have a stern face; instead, he was happy to see it happen.
The Yamanaka Clan has always had a good relationship with the Hokage's faction, so they wouldn't understand his concerns as the seemingly strongest clan in Konoha.
In recent years, he has been very careful to prevent his clansmen from doing anything excessive, for fear of following in the footsteps of some unnamed family.
If Hinata becomes the Hokage's wife, then the Hyuga Clan's worries will not exist for a short time, or at least for several decades, there will be no longer any danger of the clan being wiped out.
As for that little girl from a Yamanaka Clan, who cares?
The people we really need to be wary of are in the Hokage.
