Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 88 Tsunade: Yu, you're abusing your power!

"Yu boy, you were just intimidating the Fourth Kazekage, weren't you? I could almost feel your intimidation."

Having participated in the welcoming ceremony, Tsunade watched as Minato Namikaze, accompanied by Fugaku, the Kazekage, and his two guards, headed towards the Hokage Building. Her gaze then shifted to Hyuga Yu, who remained standing, and she jokingly remarked:

"What, you hate him? Are you angry because of the girl behind you?"

As she spoke, Tsunade looked at Yekura, who was standing not far behind Hinata Yu with her head down.

Ever since meeting Luo Sha, the other party has kept his head down, as if afraid of showing an inappropriate expression.

Is her name Yazaki Miki?

She's quite good-looking, and in every way she's comparable to her. She seems to be a former Root spy? Did she have a grudge against the Fourth Kazekage while working as a spy in Sunagakure?

I've been seeing her with Hinata Yu a lot lately, I'm a little curious about their relationship.

"I'm just preparing for the meeting later."

Faced with Tsunade's teasing, Hyuga Yu gave a curt reply and said no more.

In the last two days, he reaped some more eye-rolls, allowing his eye-rolling skills to enter the next stage.

Sixty pairs!

A total of sixty pairs of eyes rolled back!

It's six times more than the first phase.

Such consumption left even this disdainful farmer speechless.

Fortunately, the improvement is indeed significant.

The Byakugan's Yin Release chakra underwent a qualitative change.

The restrained power in his eyes could exert immense pressure on a person, which was why he was able to put so much pressure on the Fourth Kazekage just now.

However, this also made it temporarily impossible for him to use his eye techniques.

Just like when Sasuke Uchiha transplanted Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, because the enhancement came from the transfer of his eye power, his eyes could see normally, but there was a considerable period of adaptation. His eye power was still surging, much more intensely than in the previous stage.

During this period, the Byakugan's eye techniques cannot be used.

In addition, the amount of chakra has increased dramatically, and it has not stopped even as Yin Release chakra changes.

In Nanami's words:

"At this rate, you'll be able to possess chakra capable of going head-to-head with the tailed beasts."

Hearing the frustrated voice coming from the spiritual world, Hyuga Yu thought to himself with amusement, "It's meaningless. I already have tailed beast-level chakra, don't I? Chongming."

"This improvement might not even be as strong as what you brought. You've given me a lot of great abilities."

Chongming's expression shifted slightly, and he felt much better.

It could sense that Hinata Yu wasn't lying.

As for Hyuga Yu, this improvement may not be as significant as what Chongming brought. Chongming gave him some interesting abilities, including tailed beast transformation, flight, and the Scale Powder Concealment Technique that can cause blindness and dizziness.

In contrast, this improvement in eye rolls is mainly an improvement in basic qualities.

The Byakugan is ultimately different from the Sharingan.

The Eternal Eye is powerful because it allows the activation of the Complete Susanoo during that period; its strength lies in its eye technique.

Even if the Byakugan's second stage results in the creation of another eye technique, it's unlikely to be as significant as the improvement from the complete Susanoo.

The Tenseigan is the real turning point, and he had been preparing for it for a long time.

Tsunade didn't believe Hinata Yu's explanation. She walked up to the puzzled Yekura and asked familiarly, "What's your relationship with that kid? I've seen you two together a lot lately."

"I'm just Lord Yu's subordinate." Yekura looked up, blinked, and asked curiously, "What does Tsunade-senpai think our relationship is?"

She addressed him as "senior" naturally, without any sense of unease. After all, in the eyes of her generation, the Sannin were all powerful figures in the ninja world who deserved to be treated with utmost respect.

"..." Tsunade's lips twitched. "Okay, I guess I was overthinking it."

Hyuga Yu at least understood her hint, but the ninja in front of him who was older than Hyuga Yu didn't understand at all. He's been so old and has never been in a relationship.

However, Tsunade thought again that the other party was a spy who was constantly on edge hiding his identity, so how could he possibly be in a relationship? She then felt relieved.

Seeing that Yekura was still looking at her with a puzzled expression, Tsunade changed the subject, "When you were in Sunagakure, did you have any grudges with the Fourth Kazekage?"

Upon hearing this, Yekura made no attempt to hide her complex expression. "How could I possibly have any grudge against the Fourth Kazekage? It's just that one decision he made almost cost me my life..."

He was probably used as cannon fodder by the Fourth Kazekage when he was a spy.

Tsunade instantly understood and nodded knowingly, "That's all in the past. You're just innocent now..."

After a pause, Tsunade, remembering his current rank, said casually, "Konoha ninja, you are now just a simple Konoha ninja. Don't worry about the missions from your Root days."

You originally meant to say "genin," right?

Yekura glanced at her speechlessly. "Tsunade-senpai seems quite relaxed, even though the Fourth Kazekage came to visit."

"What does the Kazekage's visit have to do with me?" Tsunade yawned. "He made me get up early to greet him. I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm going to the casino tonight."

"Not only will we need Tsunade-sama's help with the welcoming ceremony, but we'll also need her assistance with the rest. We can give up on going to the casino."

Shizune, who was acting as Tsunade's sidekick, stepped forward and took out a schedule. "This was given to me by the Hokage, Lady Tsunade. Your schedule for today is already full."

Tsunade grabbed the schedule, glanced at it, and her hand clenched involuntarily. She turned to Hyuga Yu, "Hey, Yu, tell me what's going on! We didn't say that before. I'm free!"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Yu revealed a very gentle smile, which even surprised Tsunade. However, the words he uttered plunged her into despair.

"To warmly welcome the Fourth Kazekage, we have arranged a number of activities and invited the casino owners to participate. Tsunade-senpai, you won't see anyone at those casinos today."

"It's not just today; if you don't work hard, you won't see the casino open before Kazekage leaves."

"No!"

Tsunade cried out in anguish, her face flushed with anger, pointing at Hyuga Yu, her chest heaving, "You abused your power and broke your promise!"

"When have I ever broken my promise?" Hyuga Yu looked at Shizune with suspicion. "Shizune, what was the promise I made with Tsunade-senpai?"

"Senior Yu did not break his promise." Under Tsunade's gaze, Shizune betrayed him without hesitation. "Senior Yu and Lady Tsunade's agreement never mentioned what would happen at the casino."

Tsunade's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Shizune, how could you do this? Just because I dumped all the work on you...?"

"I just hope Lady Tsunade won't become addicted to gambling every day!"

Shizune remained expressionless. "I don't care about these things."

She said she didn't care, but the dark circles under her eyes from staying up all night making the splitting potion were incredibly obvious, which was hardly convincing.

Looking at Shizune's exhausted face, Tsunade felt a rare pang of guilt.

Lately, it seems, maybe, or perhaps we've gone a bit too far?

"Alright, no gambling today." Tsunade shook her schedule. "Is this all my work? Will there be any more at the last minute?"

"That's all." Hinata Yu nodded.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

With a renewed sense of purpose, Tsunade took the lead and walked forward. "Shizune, let's go."

Shizune bowed to Hinata Hare, quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Tsunade, suppressing the urge to smile, her heart pounding with joy.

Alright, mission accomplished. Lady Tsunade's betting money for this month is mine!

I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade.

Just like you said, Senior Yu gave me so much, I couldn't help it!

Tsunade does have gambling funds every month, but after Hyuga manipulates things so that Tsunade can earn her own gambling funds, that money is naturally saved.

Where to use it is, of course, up to Hinata Yu himself.
