Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

I am Hinata Hyuga.

For some reason I don't yet know, I only made my debut at the age of nineteen, while a sycophant with explosive strength, comparable to a sixth-level demon, appeared in front of me thirteen years earlier.

But I'm not worried at all, because he's just a little boy without eyes right now.

I could knock him down with one punch.

……

"Hinata, let's get acquainted. This is Toneri."

"Hyuga Toneri."

Two hours had passed since Hiashi Hyuga met with Otsutsuki Konohamaru, and Hinata was almost ready to go to sleep when Hiashi Hyuga knocked on Hinata's door.

Hiashi Hyuga and the man from the Ōtsutsuki coffin, along with the now six-year-old Toneri, stood in front of Hinata's door, introducing Toneri to her.

"Nice to meet you, Hinata-san."

Toneri politely extended his hand to Hinata.

"Oh, hello."

Hinata scratched her head, extended her hand to shake hands with the other person, and lingered on their eyes for a few moments.

The blind man who had just met her now had a pair of eyes in his eye sockets.

A pair of aloof, cold eyes.

Moreover, it looks incredibly pure and has a very high level of clarity.

Hinata's gaze shifted to the Ōtsutsuki coffin beside her, whose eyes were now wrapped in a white cloth.

Clearly, this father gave his eyes to his son.

"From now on, Toneri will be staying at our house temporarily. Hinata, please get along well with Toneri."

Hiashi Hyuga's tone was devoid of any emotion as he directly told Hinata about it.

It is clear that he reached some kind of deal with Otsutsuki Komami.

The price to pay was that Toneri lived with the Hyuga clan.

"Oh, I understand."

Hinata yawned, glanced at Toneri, and closed the door without hesitation, leaving the three of them outside in the cold wind.

Although Toneri had no eyes when he first met Hinata, he fell in love with her at first sight.

So even though this Otsutsuki... Hyuga Toneri is only six years old, Hinata didn't give him a friendly look.

"My daughter is naughty, please forgive her."

Hiashi Hyuga had anticipated this, and spoke calmly to Otsutsuki Konosuke.

"It's alright, it's inevitable for children to be naughty."

"I just hope that the head of the Hyuga family can discipline my son strictly."

Otsutsuki Konosuke was not angered by Hinata's attitude either.

"That's natural. The Hyuga clan has always been true to its word and keeps its promises. We will never go back on our word."

Hiashi Hyuga spoke in a deep voice.

Just now, he made a deal with Otsutsuki Komami.

Otsutsuki Toneri will live with the Hyuga clan until he turns twenty. At that time, whether he stays or leaves will be entirely up to him. The Hyuga clan is not allowed to interfere with Toneri's choice, and Hyuga Hiashi is required to be responsible for Toneri in the same way he is for Hinata.

In exchange, the Otsutsuki clan's unique puppetry techniques from the moon were required to save the Otsutsuki's life.

Judging from the outcome, both parties were clearly very satisfied with the deal.

For Hiashi Hyuga, it was just an extra mouth to feed, but he could exchange it for a powerful puppet technique. It was obviously a very worthwhile thing for the clan to have another school of thought.

For Otsutsuki Komamichi, the fact that his son would receive protection from distant relatives after his death, and that he only needed to use simple puppetry skills, was enough to satisfy him.

If Hinata found out about their deal, she'd probably be so angry she'd ride on Hiashi Hyuga's head and pound his head in frustration.

What a crappy puppet technique! Not to mention the giant Tenseigan on the moon, even the space-time teleportation channel between Earth and the moon is more reliable than this crappy puppet technique!

However, once the deal is finalized, there is no room for change.

Moreover, given Hiashi Hyuga's personality, he wouldn't change his story even if he knew the truth.

Moreover, the Hyuga clan has stood in the ninja world for a thousand years and places great importance on rules, and reputation is the most important part of those rules, with absolutely no exceptions.

They are not like the treacherous people of Yunyin who use the name of a peace mission to steal favors and are untrustworthy.

Although this event never had a chance to happen thanks to Hinata's actions.

The fact that Otsutsuki Toneri has now transformed into Hyuga Toneri and is staying at the Hyuga family's residence is an expected surprise.

Hinata had her suspicions, but she was prepared.

But it doesn't matter. Just like Hiashi Hyuga had considered before, it's just another mouth to feed.

"Please rest assured, I, Hyuga Hiko, guarantee with my life that I will treat Toneri like my own son, and I will give him whatever I can."

"If I break this oath, I will suffer eternal damnation."

Hiashi Hyuga looked at the large sarcophagus in front of him with a solemn expression and spoke in a deep voice.

"Hisashi is exaggerating."

"Since that's the case..."

When Ōtsutsuki Konosuke heard Hyuga Hiashi speak like that, his expression changed slightly, and even his address changed from Hyuga clan head to the somewhat affectionate Hiashi. He reached out and touched his son's head.

"uncle."

At his father's behest, Toneri spoke respectfully to Hyuga Hiashi before him.

"Good boy."

Hiashi Hyuga accepted Toneri's bow, which meant that the contract was concluded.

"In that case, Hiashi, I'll take my leave."

Upon seeing this, the Ōtsutsuki coffin master nodded slightly and spoke.

"Why don't you stay here for a while?"

Hiashi Hyuga pleaded with him to stay.

"No, my deceased wife is still waiting for me. If I go out for too long, I'm afraid I'll be lonely."

Otsutsuki Konosuke smiled and declined Hyuga Hiashi's offer.

Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashitsu no longer insisted.

Otsutsuki Konosuke said a few words to Toneri, such as that he should treat Hyuga Hiashi as his father in the future, and then took his leave.

……

next morning

Good morning, Hinata.

As soon as Hinata entered the restaurant, having finished washing up, she saw Toneri sitting next to Hiashi Hyuga.

At this moment, Toneri had changed out of his eye-catching retro white robe and into the Hyuga clan's usual black and white attire.

"Oh, good morning."

Hinata nodded slightly.

"Hinata, from now on, Toneri will be your older brother."

"From now on, you two must treat each other as brother and sister."

Hiashi Hyuga usually exudes an imposing aura without being angry, but he has no power to intimidate Hinata.

"Okay, Shiren-nii~~"

Hinata's eyebrows curved into crescents when she saw Hiashi Hyuga speak like that, and a smile appeared on her face. Her tone even seemed to soften as she spoke.

Seeing Hinata like this, Toneri didn't know how to speak for a moment, and just stood there frozen.

Pah, you damn lolicon!

Hinata inwardly grumbled upon this.

She was going to the Hokage Building to see Hiruzen Sarutobi soon because of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mutual Explosion Tags, so she didn't have time to waste here. She devoured her breakfast in a flash and left under Toneri's watchful eye.

Seeing Hinata finish eating and leave without hesitation, Toneri looked at Hiashi Hyuga with some confusion.

"Don't worry about it, that's just Hinata's personality."

You'll get used to it.

Hiashi Hyuga was already used to his daughter's willful ways.
