" Hinata, now you need to close your eyes and take a nap here."
"Huh? No training required?"
Hinata blinked.
"Okay, get some rest today."
"Yay!"
Hinata hugged Yuzuru's arm.
"Come with me."
The Hakujun led the two to another mountain peak, where there was no cold snow or raging lightning, but instead, birdsong and fragrant flowers.
"Alright, Hinata, sleep here. Your teacher used to rest on this straw bed when she trained here."
Yuzuru led Hinata to a cave.
Hinata looked at the stone bed covered with hay and feathers, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"The place where the teacher slept?"
Hinata immediately pounced on her.
"Mmm, it's soft."
"Of course, Hinata, you can sleep here. We'll go back after you wake up."
Okay~
Hinata immediately kicked off her shoes, lay flat on the bed, and obediently closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, once her breathing had calmed down, Yuzuru looked at the Hakujun beside her.
"Leave the rest to me."
"Hmm, thank you for your help."
He glanced at him, Hakujun suddenly flapped its wing at him.
"Are you being too formal?"
"Uh, okay, never mind."
Yuzuru smiled and obediently shut up.
The Hakujun ignored him, and a large amount of Natural Energy appeared on its body, beginning to temper Hinata's body from head to toe.
"Huh? This girl..."
"What's wrong?"
Yuzuru immediately became worried.
"The compatibility with Natural Energy is unexpectedly good!"
Hakujun's tone was full of surprise.
"No, that's not right. This girl seems to be transforming into Sage Body! It's like something is forcing her to transform."
Hearing this, Yuzuru was also surprised.
"That's right, that's exactly it. He's even more amazing than you were back then, and his talent is at least three times greater than yours."
Yuzuru:...
What does that mean? Has it become a unit of counting too?
Upon witnessing such a strange situation for the first time, Hakujun formally examined Hinata's body and quickly discovered the source of all these changes.
"Are her eyes and her body really from the same person?"
After completing the inspection, a complex emotion flashed in Hakujun's eyes.
"Those eyes didn't drain this girl dry; she's just lucky."
"Well, these are her eyes."
"Of course I know they are her own eyes. If they weren't hers, and it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to completely control them and would be sucked dry like a corpse in no time."
As the Hakujun transmitted Natural Energy, it said:
"Although this girl seems to have a strong physique, she is actually weak inside. Most of the Natural Energy she absorbed was used to replenish her own essence. Once she recovers, her body will completely transform into Sage Body."
"Only a powerful physique like that of Sage Body can allow her eyes to fully unleash their power. Right now, her body and eyes are completely mismatched. Even though these eyes possess terrifying potential and power, they cannot be fully utilized due to her frail body and have always been suppressed."
" Sage Body."
Yuzuru looked at Hinata with a slight smile on his face.
"That's good. If we're not strong enough, how can we keep those two troublemakers in check?"
It took a full hour for the Hakujun to finish transmitting Natural Energy.
"Alright, thankfully this girl is still young, there's still room for change. Once she grows older, I'm afraid her eyes will be completely suppressed. Even with great power, she won't have enough ability to unleash it. In the long run, it will be no different from a permanent seal."
The Hakujun breathed a sigh of relief and then began to recover its Natural Energy.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Yuzuru stroked the Hakujun's wing and smoothed its feathers.
"Alright, you take care of her. She'll be fine once she wakes up. But from now on, she needs to come to Ten Thousand Fathom Peak every day for an hour to cultivate and absorb Natural Energy —well, that is, to sleep."
"This will better nourish her Sage Body and make it stronger."
"Okay, I understand."
Yuzuru nodded.
"I'll be going now."
After speaking, the Hakujun left the cave and soared into the sky, heading towards the snow-capped peak where it lived.
Yuzuru sat beside Hinata, quietly waiting for Hinata to wake up. With nothing else to do, he also practiced his Natural Energy for a while.
This thing has only benefits and no drawbacks.
On his forehead, the Nine Tomoe Sharingan silently absorbed Natural Energy and Yuzuru's Chakra, its blue light gradually deepening and becoming increasingly captivating.
Two and a half hours later, Hinata let out a sweet, innocent hum and then slowly opened her eyes.
"You're awake! Did you sleep well?"
Yuzuru gently rubbed Hinata's head and asked.
"Mmm, it feels very comfortable, and my body feels much lighter."
Hinata felt a sense of ease she had never experienced before.
"Is that so? It seems it really works."
"Teacher, can I come here to rest anytime in the future? I feel more comfortable sleeping here."
Hinata clung to Yuzuru's arm and started acting cute.
"Alright, from now on this place belongs to Hinata. Starting tomorrow, you'll need to set aside one hour each day to sleep here."
"Really? Yay! That's great!"
Hinata up, clung to Yuzuru's neck, and hung on him.
"Alright, next I'll teach you how to form a contract with Ten Thousand Fathom Peak. In the future, if you encounter danger, you can Summoning the birds of Ten Thousand Fathom Peak to help you."
"Including that white one from earlier..."
" Hinata, you should call her Hakujun."
Yuzuru quickly touched her beautiful hair.
"Oh, Lord Hakujun."
"She is a very respectable teacher. She taught me many things when I was young."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Hinata couldn't understand what Yuzuru meant by "powerful," but when she heard that even her strongest teacher had been taught by Hakujun, she immediately understood the difference in strength.
"Alright, it's about time. We should head back."
"Good!"
After saying that, Yuzuru took Hinata away from Ten Thousand Fathom Peak, escorted her home, and then turned to walk towards his own house.
As for the presidential office, having its own Shadow Clone is enough.
However, no one was home at the time, not even Tsunade, who was busy with the Kekkei Genkai Disease.
Needless to say, the others all have legitimate jobs.
"Never mind, they should all be back by now anyway, let's cook first."
So, Yuzuru transformed into a stay-at-home husband, starting to cook for the women who were about to get off work.
After everyone returned one by one, they smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. Hong immediately went over and peeked out to look at Yuzuru, who was busy at work.
Why are you being so well-behaved today?
"We brought Hinata back from the Ten Thousand Fathom Peak a little early, so I've prepared a table full of food for you all. How does that sound, our Head Chef Hong?"
