Shishou lingered at the stone monument in front of him for a moment before moving to the other stone monuments, continuing to examine them with his parasitic insects.
Seeing Shishou's actions and the stone monuments gradually changing color, Hiashi Hyuga wanted to activate his Byakugan to observe but feared offending Shishou. In the end, he decided to close his eyes and not look.
After thoroughly inspecting all the stone monuments, Shishou finally understood their origins.
It wasn't that the stone monuments had no inscriptions; rather, all the text was hidden inside the monuments.
The Hyuga clan's stone monuments were more like stone boxes.
The text was written inside the box, and then a lid was placed over it, with the seams filled in, making it look like a single stone monument.
Since the Byakugan couldn't see through it, the Hyuga clan naturally couldn't discover the inscriptions within.
Shishou discovered a faint filling mark with his nano-sized parasitic insects, leading him to the hidden text.
These special stone monuments were clearly the work of Hamura Otsutsuki.
The inscriptions recorded the story of Hamura Otsutsuki, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, coming to Earth from the Moon and leaving behind the Hyuga bloodline.
To prevent the Otsutsuki clan on the Moon from misusing the Tenseigan's power to invade the ninja world after his death, Hamura split the Tenseigan's power.
He let the Hyuga clan on Earth inherit his eyes and the Otsutsuki clan on the Moon inherit his power.
Hamura also left the method to awaken the Tenseigan and travel to the Moon.
This way, the Hyuga clan and the Otsutsuki clan on the Moon would have the power to fight back if the Otsutsuki clan from space invaded the ninja world.
Awakening the Tenseigan was straightforward.
In each generation of the Hyuga clan, there would be one or several pairs of special Byakugan that differed slightly from the regular Byakugan.
Combining this special Byakugan with the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan would awaken the Tenseigan.
If the bearer of the special Byakugan failed to awaken the Tenseigan before the age of thirty, the special Byakugan would transform into a regular Byakugan, losing the ability to awaken the Tenseigan.
To travel to the Moon, one must find the underground spatial anomaly left by Hamura in the ninja world. Through this spatial anomaly, one could travel to the Moon.
However, the spatial anomaly moves periodically due to its spatial power.
Thus, the stone monuments did not provide the anomaly's location but instead left a special technique to sense the anomaly.
Within a hundred-kilometer radius of the anomaly, anyone with the Hyuga bloodline could use the technique to sense its presence. Finding it wouldn't be too difficult.
"Mr. Lurigan, did you discover anything?"
Seeing Shishou lingering at the monument, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but ask.
"It seems these really are just ordinary blank stone monuments."
Shishou shook his head, feigning disappointment, with a regretful expression.
He certainly wouldn't reveal the secret of the monuments to the Hyuga clan.
Of course, if he did tell, it would only be to Hinata and Hanabi.
Hearing this, Hiashi also showed a regretful expression. He had hoped there might be some hidden secrets on the monuments.
"I'll contact that person immediately after leaving Konoha."
"You should have an answer by tomorrow."
"I'll come back to relay his demands to you then."
Back in the guest hall, Shishou prepared to leave.
Having obtained the method to travel to the Moon, he had no intention of lingering.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Lurigan."
"Could you leave a way to contact you so I can reach you if needed?"
It seems the Hyuga clan intends to cling to my thigh and not let go.
Hearing Hiashi's request, Shishou understood and said, "If you need anything, send someone to the Abyss of Gambling in Horyo City and look for a woman named Takeko. She'll relay the message to me."
"In return for allowing me to view the monuments, I'll make sure the Hyuga clan isn't left unaided in times of need."
Hiashi was delighted and quickly thanked Shishou, "Thank you, Mr. Lurigan."
"Hmm." Shishou nodded, leaving with Natsu following behind him. Hiashi escorted him to the gate.
I wonder if I'll ever return.
Natsu looked back at the Hyuga compound where she had lived for over a decade, her expression complex, before following Shishou away.
...
Leaving the Hyuga compound, Shishou arrived at Kurenai Yuhi's house and knocked on the door.
He didn't want Kurenai to continue misunderstanding him.
The door creaked open, revealing Kurenai's expressionless face.
Bam!
With a glance at Natsu in her maid outfit standing behind Shishou, Kurenai's eyes twitched, anger flaring up. She slammed the door shut.
"Should I have asked you to hide earlier?"
Seeing Kurenai's reaction, Shishou helplessly looked at Natsu.
"Master,"
"Should I explain to Kurenai Yuhi?"
Seeing Shishou looking at her, Natsu cautiously suggested.
"Explain what?"
Shishou was puzzled.
"Explain that nothing happened between us."
"That way, Kurenai might not misunderstand."
Natsu carefully explained.
"Who said nothing would happen between us?"
"Do you not want it?"
Shishou's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Natsu.
A cooked duck shouldn't be let go!
He had long wanted to have a close maid but hadn't found a suitable candidate. Now that Natsu appeared, he wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Moreover, Natsu was very beautiful, a rare Byakugan beauty.
And she seemed docile and delicate, very easy to bully...
"I..." Natsu's face flushed bright red, not knowing what to say.
Creak!
The door opened again, and an angry Kurenai stormed out, kicking Shishou, sending him flying, leaving Natsu stunned.
This damn bastard.
So, you didn't intend to explain anything to me, did you? Then why did you come to my door?
To show off?
So infuriating!
Watching Shishou flip in mid-air and land smoothly, Kurenai gritted her teeth, wanting to bite him.
"Hmph!"
Turning away, Kurenai shot a cold glance at Natsu, huffed, and shut the door.
Landing steadily, Shishou approached the door and said,
"I'll come back for you later."
He knew Kurenai was right behind the door, so he wasn't worried she wouldn't hear.
Kurenai behind the door bit her lip, wanting to tell him not to bother her again, but afraid he really wouldn't, she stayed silent.
"Let's go."
After confirming no one was around, Shishou pulled Natsu into his arms and vanished.
Shishou's secret base.
"You... you also know the Flying Thunder God technique..."
Seeing herself instantly appear inside a room, Hyuga Natsu was shocked. As a Jonin of the Hyuga branch family, she naturally recognized the technique Shishou used. After all, the Hyuga clan had been searching for the recently famous Flying Thunder God user.
"It's not that I also know the Flying Thunder God technique; it's that I am the Flying Thunder God user."
Shishou gently pinched Natsu's small nose with a light laugh.
"You are the Flying Thunder God user?"
Natsu's eyes widened in disbelief. Remembering how Lord Hiashi discussed with him about contacting the Flying Thunder God user and negotiating terms, she found it absurd.
"This is my secret, okay? Don't tell anyone."
Holding Natsu's small hand, Shishou walked down from the teleportation platform. After fully extracting Hashirama cells, he had sent his female assistant to handle fertilizer development, leaving the base empty except for him and Natsu.
"No wonder you said the Flying Thunder God user owed you a favor. You and yourself... it's all up to you. Lord Hiashi has really been deceived by you!"
Thinking Shishou had something bad planned, Natsu nervously tried to distract herself by talking.
"Hahaha, he's not the worst off."
Shishou laughed.
"Do you mean the Third Hokage is the one most deceived by you?"
Natsu realized and almost laughed but held back.
"Hahaha, who else could it be?"
Thinking about how the Third had asked him to investigate himself, Shishou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Come on, I'll show you around. You'll be staying here for a while."
Pulling Natsu along, Shishou strolled around the base.
"This will be your room."
Entering a large room, Shishou pointed and said.
"This is really for me?" Natsu was amazed at the modern, luxurious room.
"Of course. Get used to it for a while, then I'll give you tasks."
Tapping Natsu's forehead, Shishou vanished.
Natsu touched her forehead and entered the room. Seeing the luxurious bathroom, study, bedroom, private gym, and playroom, she was astonished.
As a branch family member destined to serve the main family, she had never imagined such luxury.
"Wow, so soft."
Lying on the soft bed, Natsu couldn't help but moan.
"If this is a dream, I hope it never ends."
...
Night.
Konoha.
In Tsunade's home.
After using a stick to discipline Shizune into sleep, Shishou sat at his desk, recording the text and technique he had seen on the Hyuga stone monument with his parasitic insects.
The technique to find the spatial anomaly required Hyuga blood, so he planned to teach Natsu to find it for him.
In the original story, Naruto and others found the spatial anomaly quickly because they had clues left by Toneri Otsutsuki. Without those clues, Shishou had to search slowly.
After recording, Shishou put the scroll in his pocket.
"One o'clock. Lady Hyuga should be asleep by now."
Checking the time, Shishou transformed into his alias, growing a beard, and appeared in Hyuga Rinmei's room.
He planned to inject her with life energy again, keeping her alive to manipulate Hiashi Hyuga.
"Madam, you are quite wealthy..."
Mumbling, Shishou reached to knock Rinmei unconscious.
"Who..."
Suddenly, Rinmei grabbed Shishou's hand. She couldn't sleep due to her thoughts and accidentally caught him.
Genjutsu: Binding Illusion!
The moment Rinmei grabbed him, Shishou used his Mangekyo Sharingan to control her. He quickly exited and hypnotized the alerted Hyuga guards. Despite the Byakugan's resistance to genjutsu, they were no match for his Mangekyo.
After ensuring the guards were neutralized, he returned to Rinmei, laughing softly.
"Madam, why aren't you sleeping? Were you waiting for me?"
Rinmei coldly asked, "Who are you and why are you in my room?"
Squatting before Rinmei, Shishou lifted her chin to see her face by the moonlight.
Feeling his touch, Rinmei wanted to resist but couldn't move, letting him do as he pleased.
Her delicate features and elegant, cold demeanor were different from Mikoto's.
Thinking this, Shishou laughed, "Madam, haven't you been looking for me?"
Rinmei was shocked, "You are the Flying Thunder God user!"
"Correct!"
"I didn't want to treat you initially, so I set difficult terms. But because Mr. Lurigan repaid a favor, I came to check your condition."
"If I'm confident I can cure you, I will make demands to the Hyuga clan tomorrow."
"If not, I'll refuse."
"That's why I'm here tonight."
Sitting before her, Shishou lied smoothly.
"Do you think you can cure me?"
Rinmei nervously asked. She knew about the deal between Hiashi and Mr. Lurigan and the impossible demands set by the Flying Thunder God user.
Those Hyuga elders would rather she die than let the main family's Byakugan be passed on.
Knowing this, she was desperate and could only hope Mr. Lurigan would succeed.
"I need to examine your body to know," Shishou said, glancing at her figure.
Blushing, Rinmei hesitated but agreed, "I am willing to let you examine."
Seeing her reaction, Shishou looked out the window at the moonlight and laughed again.
"Madam, is this how you ask for help?"
