Shinsei pushed open his bedroom door and called out towards the kitchen, "I'm home!"
Riya peeked out of the kitchen, looked at her son, and immediately smiled. She put down the spatula, wiped her hands on her apron, walked over, and shook the dust off Shinsei.
"Where did you get so much ash? You're Hokage now, you need to pay attention to your image."
Even as the Hokage, Shinsei was still just a child in front of his mother. He let her pat him, forcing a smile on his face.
"You've gone out on a mission? You must be careful. You're everyone's guardian now, so nothing can happen to you."
"I understand, Mother."
After cleaning Shinsei up, Riya finally let him go, satisfied. "Go wash your hands, dinner will be served soon."
"Yes, Mother."
The door to the convenience store was pushed open, and Nobita, the father, walked in carrying two bags of cooked food.
"Honey, go clear the table, dinner's almost ready." Nobita handed the cooked food to Riya and walked towards the dining room with his head down.
After Shinsei became Hokage, his family's convenience store gradually closed down.
The family doesn't lack this source of income; the main problem is that many merchants deliberately buy mass-market goods.
This was beyond the needs of ordinary residents; it was clearly because of Shinsei's identity that he was giving money. After discussing it, the family decided to close the convenience store.
Nobita was very supportive of Shinsei's work and had no complaints. Whenever he chatted with old friends outside and Shinsei was mentioned, the Kakuzu would involuntarily turn up.
These days, people have been talking to him about Shinsei's policies, and he can't help but argue with these old friends.
The table was laden with food.
Riya made a big pot of miso soup, and Shinsei's favorite fried pork cutlet. Nobita brought back two whole plates of cooked food.
The family of three sat around the table, not talking about work or mentioning Ōtsutsuki. Riya said that the neighbor's cat had given birth to four kittens and asked Shinsei if he wanted to take one home to raise.
Nobita said not to keep a cat because it would scratch the rice bags. Riya said the rice bags were only worth a few dollars, and kittens were so cute.
Shinsei listened to his parents bickering, he ate his rice bite by bite. The fried pork cutlet was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the miso soup was so hot that he gasped for breath.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Riya put another pork chop in his bowl.
"Tasty."
Shinsei's mouth was stuffed full, and he gave a mumbled reply.
Nobita rarely smiled. He poured a cup of tea for Shinsei, then poured one for himself. The father and son clinked their cups together and drank the tea in one gulp, just like drinking alcohol.
The meal was eaten very slowly.
Riya kept putting food on Shinsei's plate, Nobita would occasionally say "That's enough, that's enough," before taking a bite for himself.
When Shinsei was eating his third bowl, the doorbell rang.
Riya went to Gate of Opening. It was Hinata Hyuga who came in.
She stood at the door, holding a bag of souvenirs in her hand.
Riya looked at Hinata and immediately smiled.
"Oh, it's Hinata! Come in quickly!"
Without saying a word, Riya grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled her into the house.
"Hello, Auntie." Hinata Riya. "I'm looking for Shinsei."
Shinsei peeked out of the restaurant, still holding chopsticks in his hand.
Hinata lowered her head slightly when she saw him, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Riya had already taken out a new set of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and served rice.
Fortunately, Shinsei has always had a big appetite, so when cooking at home, he always makes a lot more than he should.
"Auntie, no need to trouble yourself, I've already eaten."
Hinata looked at the busy Riya and felt a little awkward.
"Then eat some more. At your age, you must eat more to have more Chakra."
Hinata reluctantly sat down at the table, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and scooped a little rice from the bowl into her mouth.
Without saying a word, Riya picked up a large piece of pork tenderloin and placed it in Hinata's bowl.
"Don't be shy when you come to our house, eat a lot and increase your Chakra. Shinsei has so much Chakra now, and I deserve a lot of credit for that."
Later, when Shinsei has children, I will also encourage him to eat more.
Upon hearing this, Hinata's face instantly turned bright red, as if she had thought of something.
Riya squinted at Hinata, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
Shinsei sensed the awkward atmosphere, so he quickly finished his meal, said "I'm full," and went upstairs to his bedroom.
Hinata to sit on the dining table by Riya and eat three large bowls of food before being allowed to leave.
After finishing her meal, Hinata went upstairs at Riya's prompting and walked to Shinsei's room.
She was a little embarrassed to knock on the door, and stood there at the entrance, unsure of what to do.
With a creak, the door opened, and Shinsei stood inside, beckoning her to come in.
Hinata walked into the room, her face flushed.
"Please sit wherever you like. What brings you here?"
"Ahh."
Hinata snapped out of her daze and quickly pulled a storage scroll from her ninja tool pouch.
After Hand Seals, several more secret scrolls appeared on the storage scroll.
"I've brought you some information. My father learned that the people who attacked us were the Ōtsutsuki Clan from the moon. So he gave this to me."
Shinsei took the scroll and immediately unfurled it.
The scroll provides a detailed explanation of the origins of the Hyuga Clan and also explains the existence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon.
Shinsei always suspected that the Hyuga Clan must know the origins of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the Hyuga Clan has the tradition of carving Caged Bird Seal.
Caged Bird Seal are Branch Family as tools for the Branch Family and controlling the Branch Family.
However, in Shinsei's view, the greater purpose of this Sealing Jutsu is to prevent the loss of the Byakugan.
The Hyuga Clan must have known that a large number of Byakugan could give rise to the Tenseigan, which is superior to the Byakugan. They suffered greatly because of this, which is why they invented the Caged Bird Seal, where the eye is destroyed upon death.
"Thank you. With this information, dealing with Otsutsuki Toneri will be much easier."
Shinsei wasn't wrong. Although he already knew about the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon, it was only information he had obtained from manga in his previous life.
The records differ significantly from those of the Hyuga Clan. Moreover, the scroll also mentions some information about the moon.
This gave him a greater chance of going to the moon.
After reviewing the information, Shinsei saw Hinata still standing beside him, blushing as he looked at his fourth sister. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
After all, she's a young woman who came to my place so late at night. I wonder how many true and false rumors will spread the next day.
But he couldn't bring himself to directly tell them to leave.
I want to go with you.
Hinata spoke with a firm tone.
No, your injury hasn't healed.
Shinsei refused without even thinking.
"You're cured now. I was also your student. The moon is dangerous; you need a pair of Byakugan."
