章節 53: Chapter: 53 My Rules are The Rules

When Kyōsuke saw Hyūga Yayoi again, the young girl was already wrapped in bandages, becoming somewhat silent and withdrawn.
Perhaps noticing his concerns, Hyūga Tenjin calmly explained, "Yayoi will be coming with us. She needs more opportunities to gain experience."
While that was the explanation, Kyōsuke couldn't shake the feeling that something was being concealed.
Looking at the girl's appearance, he couldn't help but silently criticize, "Now even Danzo has become the target of cosplay."
At this moment, Hyūga Yayoi looked almost like a second version of Danzo, especially her right eye, which was hidden behind bandages.
Wait a minute... her right eye. Kyōsuke's eyelid twitched but quickly masked his thoughts.
Hyūga Tenjin and the others didn't notice any changes in him, but Uzumaki Mito, who was nearby, subtly sensed something was off.
'Why does he keep secretly observing people?'
Recalling the mysterious disappearance of everyone earlier, Mito suddenly understood something.
'I see, no wonder he was able to get Hyūga Tenjin to come out of seclusion.'
'To stop her father, he actually... chose to marry into the Hyūga family.'
Her lips unconsciously pouted, and Mito couldn't figure out why she was so angry.
'Hmph, it must be because of that bastard,' Mito tried to justify herself.
Confirming the existence of the Tenseigan and even assisting the Hyūga in achieving their Moon mission, Kyōsuke had clearly exceeded the expectations of their agreement.
Now it was the Hyūga's turn to fulfill their part.
Given the current situation, Hyūga Tenjin didn't bring many forces with him.
Dealing with Uzumaki Ashina alone was enough; the rest of the issues would be handled by the Uchiha clan.
Of course, Hyūga Tenjin didn't let his guard down. He still brought along ten elite subordinates with formidable strength, just in case something unexpected happened.
These ten could help him escape any enemy entanglement.
Although he believed the Uchiha would never make any irrational moves, he understood that the true enemies were the Senju and the Uzumaki clans.
If the Hyūga continued provoking them, the Uchiha might really face an extermination war.
Knowing this, he felt comfortable bringing Hyūga Yayoi to the battlefield.
After all, the girl wasn't just the clan leader's disciple; she represented the hope for the family to dominate the ninja world, and she was also a vessel for his son to become a top-tier warrior.
No mistakes could be allowed.
"Once we get to the battlefield, I ask you, General Kyōsuke, to take good care of Yayoi," Hyūga Tenjin suddenly spoke up.
He had noticed that the Uzumaki princess was constantly emitting hostility towards his disciple, so he had to make this request.
In response, Kyōsuke gave his full assurance, "Don't worry, Clan Leader Tenjin, I will do my utmost to ensure her safety."
In reality, besides the threat from the Senju, he was also a little concerned about retaliation from the moon.
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything too remarkable, so the extraterrestrials wouldn't be able to trace the Uchiha clan's activities.
If retaliation did come, Hyūga Tenjin would be at the forefront, and in that case, Kyōsuke might be able to uncover some hidden truths.
For example, the Sage of Six Paths hiding in the Pure Land, or Otsutsuki Isshiki, who is currently unknown, meditating somewhere.
Kyōsuke even suspected that the ancestor from the moon might not have fully died yet.
"Sigh, all these troublesome figures," Kyōsuke sighed quietly.
His actions once again caused Mito to misunderstand.
"What's with you? They're asking you to protect their disciple, not make you a son-in-law. Look at you, acting so useless," Mito couldn't help but complain.
"What?"
Kyōsuke was stunned. How did she even get to the topic of son-in-laws?
Oh right, Mito probably miscalculated his leverage, thinking that he had gained Hyūga Tenjin's support through marriage.
Thinking it over, it was a pretty clever way to think, but unfortunately, she was underestimating herself.
"Stop overthinking, or you won't get any food tonight," Kyōsuke threatened sternly.
Usually, their interactions were like this—teasing and scaring each other—but he wasn't serious enough to actually let Mito go hungry.
What was meant to be a casual remark, however, seemed to strike a chord with Mito this time.
She glanced at the silent bandaged girl and the visibly impatient Kyōsuke.
Mito struggled to hold back her tears, which began to fall uncontrollably.
She didn't even know what was causing the deep sadness in her heart.
The speaker may have meant nothing by it, but for the listener, it struck a nerve.
Her soft voice didn't go unnoticed by the perceptive Tenjin, who was always alert.
Hyūga Tenjin, who was leading the group, suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Princess Mito's suggestion is very good. Yayoi is about the same age as you; it's indeed a good idea to grow closer."
His reasoning was simple: If his disciple and Kyōsuke became a couple, he knew Kyōsuke would never let his lover suffer from the torment of the Otsutsuki cells.
At that point, the Hyūga would have a direct channel to the world on the moon.
Like Kyōsuke, Hyūga Tenjin also had his eyes on the land there.
Although many areas seemed barren, there were still plenty of habitable regions.
Compared to the Hyūga's current domain, the moon was vast beyond measure.
Using the moon as a base to watch the turmoil and conflict of the ninja world would be the most ideal path for the Hyūga family's development.
Kyōsuke had considered it, so it was no surprise that "less informed" Hyūga Tenjin would feel the same.
With that in mind, he almost wished he could marry them off right away. However, that was simply a wishful thought on his part.
But that was okay. Yayoi was beautiful, gifted, and talented—spending more time with her would surely make Kyōsuke fall for her.
If it all worked out, Hyūga Tenjin might even release his disciple from the "caged bird" seal.
Forget about the so-called rules; the real value of that seal was to be broken.
For example, the union of Naruto and Hinata in the future—despite being the second child, Uzumaki Himawari should have been branded with the "caged bird" seal.
But in the end, who in the Hyūga family dared to bring up this issue?
Were they looking for death?
To preserve the family tradition, Hyūga Hiashi even allowed Hinata to take the Uzumaki surname.
Originally, regardless of gender, the person should have joined the Hyūga family.
But when it came to Naruto—known as the Seventh Hokage, the strongest in the ninja world, and the Child of Prophecy—virtually all traditions were abandoned.
This shows that even the Hyūga family's rules weren't as unbreakable as they seemed.
"Hahaha,"
Kyōsuke laughed awkwardly in response to Tenjin's obvious hint.
In truth, both of them understood that this was just a joke.
An Uchiha-Hyūga union?
Its significance was far beyond a mere marriage. It symbolized the positions of two great clans.
After a brief laugh, everyone chose not to focus on it anymore.
The only one who remained silent was Hyūga Yayoi, who suddenly turned her head towards Kyōsuke, who was facing away from her.
The complexity in her gaze disappeared in an instant, and no one noticed the subtle shift in her expression.
