In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Who is it? Why are you bothering people so late at night? I'll go check."

Xia Mu quickly made up an excuse to escape her sister's gaze.

Upon entering the courtyard and opening the door, one is greeted by an elderly man dressed in casual clothes. Behind him, several masked figures can be vaguely discerned.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"Grandpa Naruto".

Xia Mu stared wide-eyed in textbook style, looking like a child seeing their idol.

"Haha, Xia Mu. You've grown taller again. I knew you were a clever young man on the day of the school opening ceremony."

The Third Hokage greeted him warmly and kindly.

Pshaw, I was late for the opening ceremony. I didn't get to school until almost the end of the event, so you didn't even notice me.

Of course, these are just my thoughts; I could never say them out loud.

Instead, he smiled and welcomed the Hokage inside.

"Lord Hokage!"

Entering the living room, Yuhi Kurenai had already tidied up most of the dishes; she knew who it was the moment Xia Mu called out. She had also cleaned the table.

He greeted them with a smile.

For the ninjas of Konoha, the Hokage's visit was a very happy event.

“Kurenai, there’s no need for such formalities. When your father was still alive, I often came here as a guest.”

"Back then, weren't you just a little kid like Xia Mu? So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"There is no Hokage here today, only old friends of the Yuhi family."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the spotless home and sighed.

"Yes, Grandpa Hokage, back then Father loved to talk about your deeds the most..."

The Yuhi family was once considered part of the Hokage faction, diligently carrying out the tasks assigned by the successive Hokage.

Otherwise, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage wouldn't have involved all its members, resulting in heavy losses.

Unfortunately, ever since the older generation, including Kurenai Yuhi, fought their way through, the Yuhi family and...

The connection with the Naruto lineage faded.

Recently, it seems that the Hokage's son, Sarutobi Asuma, has developed feelings for me.

But when she's not on a mission, all she wants to do is take care of her younger brother and doesn't want to think about anything else for the time being.

As for the Hokage's sudden visit, it certainly wouldn't be for such trivial matters; it's still far from over.

As for continuing his father's friendship, to be honest, although his father was a famous elite Jonin in Konoha, his main role was simply that of the Hokage's right-hand man.

I'm only a Chunin now, so there's no chance I'll get any attention.

That leaves only one reason: the younger brother...

Countless thoughts flashed through Kurenai's mind in an instant; girls' minds are just more delicate.

Sure enough, after a few simple words and some casual conversation,

The Hokage clearly steered the conversation towards his younger brother, Natsuki.

I asked him about his daily life.

"I heard about the Ninja Academy's assessment today. Natsuki must train very hard, right? He's so young and he can already develop ninjutsu. His future is limitless."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, seemingly casually.

“Indeed, Xia Mu studies very hard, sometimes even practicing while sleeping. I was quite surprised that he won first place in the assessment this time. But when it comes to developing ninjutsu, I still find it a bit hard to believe.”

Kurenai quickly responded.

"Xiao Xiamu did indeed develop an incredible ninjutsu, even blowing up the Ninja Academy's experimental building."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at Natsuki and smiled approvingly.

"What? Natsuki blew up the entire lab building? Wasn't that the Uchiha clan's Fireball Jutsu?"

"How much compensation will we have to pay?"

Kurenai Yuhi seemed to only just hear the news, and stood up with an exaggerated expression. Under her younger brother's influence, her acting skills had become increasingly exaggerated.

She grabbed Xia Mu's shoulders, who was pretending to be a good boy, and shook him vigorously.

"Xia Mu, how could you do this? What if you hurt someone? Besides, our family is so poor, where would we get the money to compensate for a building?"

"Sister, please stop shaking me. I know I was wrong, *rua*~"

Xia Mu, his eyes swollen with swirls, collapsed beside the table. A faint white soul could be seen floating out of his mouth.

"W-what happened? Xia Mu, don't die!"

With tears in her eyes, Kurenai picked up Natsuki. Turning to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a look of deep regret, she said:

"Lord Hokage, my younger brother is not feeling well. I must take him to see a doctor now. I will visit you another day."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "You guys are acting way too fake."

"I'm not here to discuss compensation. The village will handle the school matter..."

"Oh, you should have said so earlier!"

Upon hearing the Hokage's words, the two siblings immediately returned to their original state and sat quietly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was exasperated, his rhythm completely disrupted, and he forgot what he was going to say next: "Um... where were we? As people get older, they become more confused. Hehe."

"Speaking of Sasuke, one of his Fireball Jutsu blew up the school's laboratory building."

"Yes, the Uchiha's Fire Release is too powerful."

……

An hour later, Hiruzen Sarutobi bid farewell to the two siblings with a smile.

I left my old home.

Several figures shot towards them from the side.

"Lord Hokage, is this little Natsuki really a genius? Should we test that ninjutsu on him?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage's eyes widened, and he slapped his forehead:

"Oh no, those two siblings distracted me and took a long detour, talking about the major clans of Konoha and encouraging Natsuki about his future."

"You've forgotten the important matter!"

035: Offer Ultraman as a sacrifice!

Finally, the Third Hokage found some time to visit the Yuhi family.

This time, they made their intentions clear and skipped the usual empty pleasantries.

I just wanted to borrow Natsuki's newly developed ninjutsu.

It is said that this ninjutsu only requires clapping your hands together.

With a loud shout: "Super Invincible Thunder Fireball!" he can unleash a dual-attribute attack of lightning and fire with destructive power no less than an S-rank ninjutsu.

While the name is indeed a bit like Minato Namikaze's (the Fourth Hokage was also a genius at naming things, such as: Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles, Scorching Release: Light Advent Gale Black Arrow Zero Style, etc.)

But as long as the ninjutsu is practical, that's fine.

As a result, after Natsuki made a seemingly naive request, the Third Hokage promised a bunch of benefits before Natsuki was granted the right to borrow this ninjutsu.

One of these was allowing Xia Mu to borrow a forbidden scroll.

The Third Hokage didn't believe that Natsuki could learn the difficult forbidden techniques inside just by borrowing it once.

Unfortunately, Xia Mu had a cheat code. He immediately memorized the Flying Thunder God technique, which he cared about most, and planned to find time later to test whether he could learn it using the Evil King's True Eye.

Similarly, without his Evil King's True Eye, Xia Mu didn't believe they could learn this chuunibyou ninjutsu.

So far, all those who have gained power through the blessing of his Evil King's True Eye have joined the Dimensional End Gathering Society and received the society's badge made by Natsuki himself.

No matter how many cringeworthy things other people say, they won't be able to activate their abilities.

Sure enough, not long after, the Third Hokage, along with a group of ANBU, approached Natsuki again:

"Are you sure you can unleash this ninjutsu just by clapping your hands and shouting?"

"Absolutely certain. That's how I used it anyway."

Xia Mu nodded, his expression as genuine as could be.

"That doesn't make sense. There are so many of us, how come not a single one of us has learned it? The key is that not only can't we not learn it, but we can't even activate our chakra."

"You all step forward so that Natsume can have a good look at you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered three ANBU members wearing animal masks to step forward.
