Konoha: Starting the Game as Yoriichi

Regarding the Tenseigan, Kusuo didn't reveal too much. After all, unlike the Sharingan, there was no clear method to awaken it. Unless one had the means to go to the moon to increase the purity of the Byakugan, the only other way was to collect and fuse hundreds of high-purity Byakugan. The former was currently impossible without stepping into the realm of the Six Paths. The latter was somewhat possible, as the main family had surely accumulated many eyes over the centuries. But the specific fusion method and the use of the giant Tenseigan were all problems. Revealing it to the Hyuga clan too early would not be a blessing, but a curse.

He gave a simple introduction to the Tenseigan's effects and power, briefly mentioning the Otsutsuki brothers from the age of myths. Hiashi was lost in a state of emotional reflection.

"I never thought that our Hyuga clan also once had such a glorious moment." To be able to seal Kaguya alongside the Sage of Six Paths was indeed very glorious.

"These are secrets I came across in some ancient scrolls by chance. Many of them are top-secret level; not even the Kage of the five great villages know about them. So, please keep this strictly confidential."

Hearing this, Hiashi's entire body tensed up, his expression serious. He said solemnly, "Rest assured, Kusuo. It goes without saying that these things involve the level of the Sage of Six Paths. The future of my Hyuga clan may even depend on this. I will absolutely not leak it."

Hiashi was no fool. The fate of the Uchiha clan was still fresh in his memory. If word got out that the Hyuga's Byakugan could evolve into a Tenseigan that was no less powerful than the Rinnegan, how many people would covet it? He feared that not only that old schemer Danzo, but even the Third Hokage himself would become interested.

With the guarantee from the Hyuga clan head, Kusuo felt much more at ease.

Tap, tap, tap.

The light sound of footsteps echoed from the corridor outside.

"Father! Big Sister!" A joyful cry was heard, and a little girl of about seven years old came into view. She bore a sixty percent resemblance to Hinata, with delicate features but a more spirited air, giving off an impression of vibrant life.

Ah, Hanabi. Kusuo nodded in acknowledgment, having now met his little sister-in-law.

After greeting her father and sister, Hanabi looked at Kusuo with curiosity. She had heard earlier that the entire clan was preparing to welcome a special guest today, but then a huge roar had suddenly erupted from the compound. When she went out to look, the entire outer area of the clan grounds was in ruins, as if it had been cut down by a single sword strike.

Seeing his younger daughter had arrived, Hiashi pulled her over to introduce her to Kusuo. "This is my second daughter, her name is Hyuga Hanabi. And this is..."

"I know! Hanabi has met Brother-in-law!" With her bright eyes twinkling, Hanabi tilted her head and called out to Kusuo in a sweet, coquettish voice.

That "Brother-in-law" was perfect.

Hiashi was stunned. Hinata blushed so hard she buried her face, not daring to look at anyone.

"Hey!" Kusuo responded in kind. This little sister-in-law, she's really on the ball!

Hiashi helplessly rested his forehead in his hand. He had only just decided to entrust his daughter to this boy, having been thoroughly conquered by his strength. And his younger daughter? She had sold out her own sister the moment she arrived. Now, there was no way Hinata could escape this boy's grasp. Sigh. I hope he treats my daughter well.

Looking at Hanabi's smiling face, full of life and vitality, she was truly an adorable little loli. It was no wonder Hinata was so fond of her. Even he had taken a liking to this little sister-in-law at first sight. Of course, this "like" was not that kind of "like." I am a respectable person, Kusuo silently told himself, his expression neutral.

"Since you young people are gathered together, it wouldn't be right for an elder like me to disturb you. I'll leave you to your own devices," Hiashi said, getting up from the tatami mat. He gave a few instructions to the guards at the door and then left.

In the room, only Hinata, whose face was still red, and Hanabi, who was staring at Kusuo with wide, curious eyes, remained.

"Ahem. Stop staring. Is there a flower on my face?" Kusuo asked, feeling a natural sense of being scrutinized under his little sister-in-law's burning gaze.

"Brother-in-law! Big Sister told me you're very strong, especially with a sword, so I've always been looking forward to sparring with you. What do you say? Can you give me some pointers?" Hanabi asked, leaning her body towards Kusuo. With her suddenly so close, the faint scent from the little loli drifted into his nose.

So she wants to have a match with me. Looking at Hanabi's eager expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Perhaps this is the female version of a martial arts fanatic? This kind of personality was indeed more suitable for inheriting the main family than Hinata's.

"Alright, then let's go outside and have a couple of rounds. It'll be a good chance to see how your Gentle Fist has progressed." Since he was a few years older than Hanabi, it wasn't out of line to call it "giving pointers."

"Yay!" Hanabi leaped up in excitement, pumping her little fists.

The three of them went to the dojo. As expected of Konoha's current number one noble clan, the luxurious dojo was fully equipped with all kinds of training dummies and equipment, a dazzling sight. After a quick glance around, Kusuo saw that Hanabi had already changed into a brand-new training robe. She bowed slightly, her hands forward, her posture perfect. Kusuo's eyes lit up; he could tell from her stance alone that her fundamentals were excellent, even more solid than that elite chunin, Genichiro, from before.

He gave a slight nod, indicating he was ready to fight at any time.

POW!

In an instant, Hanabi rushed in front of him, her right leg raised high, about to kick him in the jaw.

Hm? Aren't the Hyuga known for the Gentle Fist? Why is she using her feet?

With a casual grab, the kick that was a blur in a normal person's eyes was caught in his palm. The little loli's delicate foot was held in his hand, unable to break free.

"You!" Hanabi's little face flushed red. I was careless, she thought. She had heard from her sister that her brother-in-law was a very fast man and had wanted to see for herself just how fast, but she had still been careless.

"Brother-in-law really is fast enough! Let's go again!" The little sister-in-law wrinkled her cute nose, very unconvinced. Her little foot was caught in his hand, and she couldn't break free from his strength.

The first round, the little sister-in-law admitted defeat.
