The deaths of those people ultimately amounted to nothing more than a report on the Raikage's desk.
Four spies died under mysterious circumstances within the Land of Fire.
Such matters are impossible to investigate. Lei Ying, who approved the report, only instructed the logistics department to handle the "martyr's condolences" matters properly, and then stopped paying attention to them.
Things like the death of spies happen almost every moment, and Raikage doesn't have time to pay attention to the life and death of these "little people".
...
Meanwhile, Shinichi Hyuga, who was traveling with Toneri and heading back to Konoha, took the opportunity of their time alone to teach Toneri some simple ways of dealing with people.
While letting Toneri experience the customs and culture of the ninja world, it also instills in him ideas such as "protecting family" and "protecting comrades".
Shinichi Hyuga wasn't a preacher of the Will of Fire, but in terms of training Toneri, he intended to mold him into a "family hero."
If one day Toneri were to charge at the enemy while shouting "Family!" and "Bonds!", perhaps Shinichi would be happy.
Moreover, Zhenyi was optimistic about Sheren's future. In his interactions with Sheren, he could feel the other's respect and affection for him. He wondered if Sheren would be able to get along well with the clan members after returning to the clan.
The day he would return to the village soon arrived.
Konoha 59 years.
At the end of December, Shinichi Hinata, who was traveling, had to end his trip with Toneri early in order to make it to the so-called "official day".
As the New Year approached, Shinichi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Toneri back to Konoha.
Instead of taking the retainer back to the clan without permission, he led the retainer openly through the main gate of Konoha Village into the village.
The gatekeeper's duty was to question and register people entering and leaving Konoha. Naturally, he was more wary and cautious of Toneri, a stranger who had never entered Konoha before. However, since Toneri was brought by Shinichi Hyuga and possessed the Byakugan, the gatekeeper couldn't question him too much and simply reported the information to the Hokage.
Unfamiliar members of the Hyuga clan have arrived in Konoha Village?!
Without a doubt, Toneri's appearance has indirectly triggered the earthquake in Konoha.
The moment Toneri entered Konoha, countless eyes were already watching him and Shinichi Hyuga. Various factions were eager to find out Toneri's origins.
Shinichi Hyuga clearly distinguishes between primary and secondary matters. Toneri will inevitably live in Konoha as a member of the Hyuga clan in the future, therefore, the clan's recognition is greater than the village's recognition.
Therefore, the first thing Shinichi did after bringing Toneri back to the village was to bring him back to the clan and gain his clan's recognition, which was more important than getting him to become a Konoha ninja.
The news that Shinichi Hyuga had returned to the village with a strange "Byakugan man" naturally reached the clan members early on. Although they didn't understand why, both Hiashi and Shinichi realized the unusual nature of the situation and led the clan members to wait at the gate.
.............
Chapter 181 The Third Tenseigan!
In front of the Hyuga clan's ancestral land, Hyuga Hiashi and Shinichi, along with representatives from various branches of the branch family, awaited Hyuga Shinichi's return.
The news of Shinichi Hyuga's return to the village had already spread back to the clan through various channels. Toneri, who was traveling with Shinichi Hyuga, naturally attracted a lot of attention. The reason why Hiashi and the others were waiting here was largely because of Toneri's appearance.
The white eyes that are left outside...
This is a major event for the entire Hyuga clan.
"Brother, is there anything wrong with the report from the subordinates?"
"Is it really possible for white-eyed people to exist outside the home? Or could I be mistaken?"
In front of the clan's grounds, Hizashi quietly approached Hiashi from behind and asked in a low voice. He had never encountered anything like this before, because the Hyuga clan had always been very protective of the Byakugan, and all clan members who had awakened the Byakugan were kept within the clan.
Even those who fail to awaken the Byakugan and regress into members of the Kohyuga clan, if they do awaken the Byakugan, will be taken in by the main family and incorporated into the branch family. The situation of Byakugan members being left to wander outside is basically nonexistent.
Furthermore, the Hyuga clan's ancestral system is strict, absolutely forbidding clan members from marrying without prior notification, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of Byakugan members being left to wander outside.
Because everyone who enters into a marriage with the Hyuga family will be closely monitored by the Hyuga family.
In the present day, under such a strict system, the fact that Byakugan can still be found outside is something the Hyuga clan cannot ignore.
The fact that this happened means there are loopholes in their system. If the news is true, they need to investigate thoroughly to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Although Risa is a member of a separate family, his loyalty to the family is beyond question. Moreover, he has personally experienced the strictness and terror of the family clan system, so he doesn't think he would be looked down upon or left out.
Upon hearing that news, Hizashi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"Did I see wrong? That shouldn't be the case."
"Don't the ninjas of Konoha recognize the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan?!"
"Besides, that child came back with Shinichi."
"Why would Zhenyi bring back a child she has no connection with for no reason?"
"It's probably true..."
Compared to Risa, Rizu's judgment was much more rational. However, the thought that the clan system might have loopholes gave him a headache.
How could such a strict clan system still have loopholes?!
If he were really asked to improve it, he wouldn't know where to start. Even the current system has greatly increased the division between the main family and the branch families. Fortunately, the main family has successors, and the dissatisfaction of the branch families has been suppressed.
If the future heir of the main family is weak, Hiashi dares not imagine what kind of disaster would be brought to the family after the conflict erupts.
As he pondered, worry filled Hizu's brow.
"coming!"
Just then, Shin Hinata looked into the distance and whispered with some delight.
Upon hearing his words, the Hyuga clan members perked up and looked in the direction Hyuga Shin was looking. Hiashi was also delighted to hear this, but his joy was fleeting.
In front of so many clansmen, Rizu still tried his best to maintain his image as a "serious clan chief".
In the middle of the street, Shinichi Hyuga, dressed in loose training clothes, was leading Toneri slowly toward the entrance of the clan compound. Toneri already knew from Shinichi that this Konoha Village was where he would be living for a long time in the future, and they were walking and stopping along the way, familiarizing themselves with the environment of Konoha.
Children of that age are at the height of their curiosity, so Shinichi naturally allowed him to stop and look around, which made his return to the clan's territory a little later.
Toneri's attire was similar to that of Shinichi Hyuga. After arriving on Earth, Shinichi Hyuga bought him several sets of clothes.
Wearing a moon-white training uniform, Sheren looked very handsome. Although he had white hair that didn't match his age, he didn't look old at all.
As Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri appeared on the street, Hiashi Hyuga and the others immediately turned their gazes toward the two.
When they saw Shinichi Hyuga's eyes, everyone was stunned. They even forgot about Toneri and all eyes were focused on Shinichi Hyuga's eyes.
"This...Shinichi!"
Hiashi walked out of the crowd somewhat erratically, calling out to Shinichi with shock and anxiety in his voice.
When Shinichi and Toneri approached, Hiashi could no longer contain his emotions. He quickly stepped in front of Shinichi, grabbed his hands, and stared intently into Shinichi's eyes, asking in a hesitant voice:
"Shinichi...your eyes?"
"are you OK?"
Hijiri's voice trembled slightly. At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. Compared to his son, what did "being looked down upon while living abroad" matter? None of that mattered.
"Eyes? Oh, you mean those."
"Father, don't get agitated, I'm fine. I had some strange encounters on this trip, and my White Eye has evolved, changing my appearance."
"It's a good thing."
Upon hearing Hiashi mention his eyes, Shinichi Hyuga instantly understood that the Tenseigan was different from the ordinary Byakugan, and his Tenseigan was even more extraordinary.
It's not surprising that the Japanese national football team, unaware of the truth, would perform like this.
"The Byakugan has evolved?"
Although Hiashi heard each syllable clearly, he couldn't understand the sentence as a whole. Not only him, but all the clansmen behind him who heard Shinichi's words exchanged bewildered glances. It was the first time they had ever heard that the Byakugan could evolve!
However, Shinichi clearly didn't want to dwell on these matters in this setting. He slightly shifted his body, pulled Toneri to his side, and said to Hiashi:
“Father, it’s not convenient to talk about my eyes here. Let’s discuss it privately.”
"This child is called Toneri. He possesses the Byakugan of our Hyuga clan. I brought him back with me this time."
“I was entrusted with this task and promised to take good care of Sheren. I have also already recognized this child as my younger brother. I hope that Father can support me in this matter.”
Shinichi Hyuga introduced Toneri to Hiashi, and only then did Hiashi's attention shift away from Shinichi Hyuga's eyes.
He also realized the gravity of the matter and that it wasn't appropriate to discuss Shinichi's eye mutation here. However, when he heard about Toneri's background from Shinichi, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Shinichi, what about this child's parents...?"
Before Hiashi could finish speaking, Shinichi understood his father's meaning.
"They've all passed away. He was an orphan and has no family left."
"I am his last resort."
Upon hearing this, Hiashi gave the attendant a deep look, then nodded, and said softly:
"We're all from the Hyuga clan. Once you're here, make this your home. The Hyuga clan will be your support!"
Hiashi gently patted Toneri's shoulder. Although Toneri had many questions in his mind, he knew this was not the place to talk, so he kept them to himself.
Hiashi gave Shinichi a wink, then turned and walked towards the clan's territory.
Shinichi understood, and after briefly greeting a few familiar clansmen, he led his servants inside.
The clansmen had waited so long, but they had only gleaned limited information from Shinichi and Hiashi's conversation.
All that is known is that Shinichi's eyes evolved this time and he brought back an orphan from the Hyuga clan. As for any further information, the clan members have no way of knowing.
However, whether they knew those things or not was irrelevant to them. Their purpose in coming here was to confirm whether the hermit truly possessed the Byakugan. Now that they knew the answer, all that remained was to wait for the clan leader to investigate further and then convene a meeting to announce their findings.
