Capítulo 177: Chapter 177: The Hyuga Monument

"There's definitely a way."

Hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga quickly asked, "Mr. Lurigan, what method do you have?"

After thinking for a moment, Shishou revealed his objective:

"If the Hyuga clan is willing to let me view the historical records documenting the clan's history, I can find a way to make him lower his demand, and not ask for a main family Byakugan."

"He owes me a personal favor, so I believe he'll agree."

"Of course, it will only be a reduction in the demand, not a freebie. Be prepared for that."

Asking the Hyuga clan directly for the records was a spur-of-the-moment idea for Shishou, after seeing how the Hyuga clan was so eager to please him.

As long as it didn't involve the Byakugan or Hyuga secret techniques, he believed they would agree.

This way, he wouldn't have to do any extra work and could try to use the secrets of the Tenseigan to get the Hyuga clan to work for him.

Thinking of this, Shishou leisurely took a sip of tea and glanced at the slightly anxious Hyuga Natsu standing beside him. He took her small hand and gently squeezed it to reassure her.

Natsu was very afraid of being abandoned by Shishou. Feeling her hand being held, her face turned red, but she breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

"What does Mr. Lurigan want with the Hyuga clan's history?" Ignoring Shishou's actions, Hiashi asked, puzzled.

"I'm very interested in the history of the ninja world, so I often study these things."

"The Hyuga clan is an ancient thousand-year-old clan. There must be records of things not documented elsewhere, which is why I asked."

"Of course, if you're unwilling, just forget I said anything."

Study the history of the ninja world?

Hiashi looked at Shishou curiously, surprised that he had such a hobby.

Historical records were not particularly important to the Hyuga clan. Since they could please Shishou and get his help, Hiashi saw no reason to refuse.

However, he still needed to discuss it with the main family elders.

"I need to discuss this with the main family elders, so please rest for now, Mr. Lurigan. Shall we continue in the afternoon?"

Shishou nodded indifferently.

"There's a room prepared for you next to the guest hall, Mr. Lurigan. Please make yourself comfortable."

Bowing to Shishou, Hiashi glanced at Natsu and left.

"Didn't expect it to be so easy."

"If I had known, I would have asked directly in the first place instead of complicating things."

Seeing Hiashi leave, Shishou muttered a few complaints.

Then, he turned to Natsu, pulled her into his arms, and smiled:

"Hiashi-sama said to make myself comfortable. Do you know what that means?"

"I... I don't know..." Natsu's face turned bright red, almost dripping with embarrassment, unable to look at Shishou.

"Haha, Natsu is really cute."

Hearing Shishou call her name, Natsu was stunned, staring at him blankly. She didn't remember telling him her name.

Oops... slipped up.

Shishou realized, then smiled, "I heard Hiashi's daughter call you earlier."

"So that's it..."

"Let's go take a nap now."

"..."

...

Meanwhile.

In the room where the main family elders were gathered.

"The Hyuga clan's main family Byakugan must not be allowed to leak!"

"There's no room for negotiation!"

An elder shouted, looking at Hiashi and Hyuga Kyo, firmly refusing.

Other elders nodded in agreement.

Although Rimei was the wife of the Hyuga clan leader, her life or death didn't matter much to these main family elders.

What did matter was maintaining the rule that the Byakugan must not leak, as breaking this would shake their control over the branch family and bring many troubles, stoking the branch family's hatred.

They had been exploiting the branch family for too long. If the branch family lost control, they would be dead without a burial place!

Hearing this, Kyo's face turned pale. He wanted to refute but couldn't find an excuse.

Because he also agreed with the elder's firm stance.

However, Rimei was his daughter, and he couldn't just give up.

Hiashi, anticipating this reaction, calmly spoke:

"Mr. Lurigan said he can help persuade the Flying Thunder God user to lower his demand."

"But Mr. Lurigan wants to see the Hyuga clan's historical records."

"I'm planning to agree to his request."

Knowing the elders would reject the Flying Thunder God user's demand, Hiashi first threw this out to draw fire.

After the others had vented, he introduced Mr. Lurigan's request.

This way, having already refused Hiashi's first suggestion, the other elders would find it hard to refuse this smaller request.

It was a small negotiation tactic for asking for help or negotiating with others.

Sure enough, after some silence, the other elders nodded in agreement.

As long as it didn't involve the Byakugan, they had no reason to continue blocking it, or they would thoroughly offend Hiashi and Kyo.

"Since that's the case, let's proceed."

Hiashi stood up and left, heading to the clan's treasury to retrieve the historical records.

It was not until half past one in the afternoon.

Shishou woke up from his nap.

Although he joked with Natsu about napping together, it was just a joke.

By now, Natsu had prepared some food for him and was quietly waiting on the side.

After a light meal, Shishou returned to the guest hall and saw Hiashi already waiting.

"Mr. Lurigan, here are the records you requested."

Hiashi handed several thick ancient books to Shishou.

"Hmm." Shishou nodded, took the records, and began flipping through them quickly.

Natsu and Hiashi stood by, not daring to disturb him, waiting quietly.

An hour later.

Shishou finished reading all the books but didn't find what he was looking for.

"Is this all the Hyuga clan's records?"

Shishou frowned, looking at Hiashi.

"Um... there are also some monuments, but they don't record anything."

After some thought, Hiashi replied.

"Hiashi-sama, could you take me to see them?"

Hearing this, Shishou made his request.

The records mentioned the existence of the monuments several times, prompting him to ask.

"Well... alright."

After some hesitation, Hiashi nodded in agreement.

The two went to a heavily guarded shrine within the Hyuga clan grounds, where they saw several blank monuments under the watchful eyes of some main family members.

"These are ancient monuments, but there's no writing on them and the Byakugan cannot see through them, so we don't know their specific purpose."

Hiashi explained, standing behind Shishou.

Shishou activated his Mangekyo Sharingan but didn't see anything unusual on the monuments.

Then he approached the monuments, touching them and releasing his parasitic insects.

The next moment, Shishou's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, there was something!


Capítulo 178: Chapter 178: Method to Travel to the Moon

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.
