The scorching hot wind of summer gradually dissipated, and time has unknowingly entered autumn.
In the evening, the sun has not completely set.
The red afterglow bloomed in the sky, like a sea of fire, just like… the forest fire a few days ago.
“It’s comfortable to travel in this kind of weather and temperature. Think about when we left the village before, we were wet from head to toe and sweating every day.”
With a small backpack loaded with outdoor supplies on his back, Souji’s pace was leisurely and comfortable.
Next to him, Hinata Xingcai was the same, with unconcealable joy and happiness on her face.
Since the battle ended that day, the two of them have been in high spirits and excitement, and they have never stopped.
“Master Ryosuke, do you want some water?”
Xingcai enthusiastically handed the kettle filled with spring water to Ryosuke.
Ryosuke chuckled and declined her kindness, “No, thank you.”
“Do you want to eat, Master Ryosuke? We only rested for a while at noon today. Shouldn’t you eat something to replenish your energy?” Souji also smiled flatteringly and handed over some edible wild fruits that tasted good.
“No need for this either.”
Ryosuke continued to politely decline.
“Then…”
Souji was about to speak and continued to take something else from his small backpack.
Ryosuke, who had been walking in the front, stopped and turned around to look at the two people with smiles on their faces. He said helplessly, “Can you two be a little more normal? Have you been a little too enthusiastic about me recently?”
In the past, they were dedicated to being a branch family, abiding by the mission of protecting the main family and accompanying him.
But since they knew about their white eyes, this attitude has changed all of a sudden.
Although their attitude was also respectful before, it was more because of the family system and the politeness and humility of the bird in the cage.
Now, there is a little more respect in their respectful attitude.
It is no longer because of the system, but from the heart.
The difference between the two was so big that Ryosuke was a little uncomfortable.
“No, no, this is what we should do.”
Looking at Ryosuke who was looking at him, Souji took a step back and scratched his head and said, “You are a member of the royal family, and you have such…unique eyes.”
“You will become a figure like Uchiha Madara in the future. We are already very satisfied to have the opportunity to assist you for a while. Please give us this opportunity.”
And Xingcai, who was next to him, also nodded in approval of his words.
When they saw those eyes and felt the difference in Ryosuke’s eyes, they had already understood too many things in their hearts.
Including why the clan leader arranged for the two Chunins to act as guards, and why Master Ryosuke had the opportunity to marry into the royal family, etc.
It turns out that their Hyuga’s Byakugan can really transform like Uchiha’s Sharingan and have more powerful abilities.
Could it be that the era of their Hyuga clan is finally coming!
“Assist?” Ryosuke muttered the word, laughed and shook his head, “Since I will show my ability in front of you, I have a certain degree of consideration and trust in you.” “So you don’t have to be so enthusiastic. After returning to the village, your attitude will make me very conspicuous and expose my existence.” “This… I’m very sorry!” As soon as he said this, Souji and Xingcai in front of him had already stepped back in panic and bowed to apologize. They were afraid that their existence would affect the future of the Hyuga clan. “You really don’t have to be like this. Just face me with the same attitude as before.”
Ryosuke looked at them in distress, “As for my ability, I believe you have guessed that it has always been the most confidential thing in the clan. The fewer people who know about it, the better.”
“At least, before I grow up, this matter will become the biggest secret of our Hyuga.”
Hearing his words, Souji and Xingcai quickly assured: “Master Ryosuke, don’t worry, we will never reveal a word to others, including our family!”
“We have known each other for such a long time, of course I believe what you say.”
Nodding gently at them, Ryosuke continued: “As for my affairs, the only people in the village who know about it now are my father, the clan leader, the clan elders, and Hinata.”
“And you, as the fourth and fifth people, including the head of the branch family, that is, my uncle Hizashi Hizashi, do not know about this matter.”
These words that seemed to be spoken from the heart made Souji and Xingcai clench their fists and feel excited.
This feeling of being trusted by Ryosuke was too hard for them to hide their emotions.
“After I go back, Souji, I will propose to my father that we should assign you the quota of guardian ninja of the daimyo’s mansion that we won from the daimyo.”
“By then, you will become an important hub between our Hyuga and those nobles, and many communications will be completed by you. At the same time, the people of the branch family should pay more attention to you, and those more radical people may win you over and do things for them.”
“I hope that by that time, you can still stand by me and work with me to rectify this fragmented Hyuga.”
After pouring out his heart, Ryosuke stared at Souji again, with a smile on his face.
This is a habit of his, especially in such a relatively important conversation environment.
The more important the conversation, the more sincere and kind he will smile.
Nodding with joy, Hyuga Souji once again assured: “I will never let you down! The Byakugan you master is the future of our Hyuga. Those radical people in the branch family don’t understand the intentions of the clan at all.”
“Very good.”
Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, long before he exposed his abilities in front of the two of them, he had already made plans in his mind.
Although he needs to hide himself in the process of growing up and can’t let too many people know his abilities.
But it only needs to limit this number of people.
After all, Ryosuke can’t do everything himself. He always needs some available people to share some things for him.
Otherwise, he will do everything himself.
Every time he takes action, if he needs to consider hiding himself, he must clear the scene before doing things, or clear the scene after doing things, so as not to expose his abilities.
But this kind of thing is possible once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be leaked.
Therefore, Ryosuke needs to train some trustworthy subordinates to become his right-hand men.
People like Souji and Hoshisai, who have always been friendly to the royal family in the Hyuga branch and have been friends with Ryosuke for some time, are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.
Sorry, I have a lot of things to do at work today, so there is only one update.
