Shingetsu Seiun said, "Um... I mean, you're from the Hyuga clan, would the clan allow you to marry outsiders so easily?"

“That’s true.” Hyuga Kaede nodded, and her next words made Shinzuki Seiun’s face stiffen.

"Then let's elope after the war ends?"

While Shenyue Xingyun was still in a daze, she chuckled and said, "Just kidding."

The two spent a quiet moment together in the tent when Hyuga Kaede suddenly said, "I'll talk to the people in the clan and have you join the Hyuga's temporary guard!"

Shingetsu Seiun asked in confusion, "The Hyuga Temporary Guard?"

Hyuga Kaede nodded: "Mm."

"The third line of defense is the responsibility of the Hyuga clan, who attach great importance to the reconnaissance of enemy movements."

“Every Hyuga clan member who goes out to investigate will be accompanied by several guards to protect the Hyuga’s safety.”

Shenyue Xingyun said, "That sounds like a difficult task."

Hyuga Kaede shook her head: "The team protecting the branch family is indeed very dangerous, but the team protecting the main family is a different story."

“My superior, Hyuga Rinko, is from the Hyuga main family. Her daily task is to scout out distant movements from high places in the camp. The guard duty is very safe.”

"I feel more at ease with you joining us."

Shingetsu Seiun looked at Hinata Kaede with surprise: "I remember your relationship with the main family wasn't very harmonious, was it?"

Hyuga Kaede smiled and said, "For you, this little bit of discord is nothing."

“I can go and beg her.”

"Let's forget about it." Shingetsu Seiun rejected Hinata Fuuka's suggestion.

"Maple Flower, actually my strength is quite good, you don't need to worry about my safety."

"Alright, alright." Hyuga Kaede stopped talking and moved closer to Shingetsu Seiun, squinting her eyes as she said, "I know, you're the best."

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

After staying for a while, allowing Hyuga Fuuka to fully alleviate her longing, Shingetsu Seiun prepared to leave. Just as Hyuga Fuuka was seeing him off out of the tent, a man and a woman walked towards them.

The man, who appeared to be in his forties, was positioned at the back, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings warily. He seemed to be a guard, and his imposing presence was quite intimidating.

The woman was around twenty years old, with an ordinary face, except for her striking white eyes, which carried a hint of arrogance in her gaze.

Upon seeing Hyuga Kaede, his brows immediately furrowed.

"I've been looking for you for ages."

"Why are you running around in the tent instead of going out to look out?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shingetsu Seiun emerge from behind Hinata Kaede.

The raised eyebrows instantly relaxed, and the woman froze on the spot.

Her gaze was fixed blankly on Shenyue Xingyun's face, and her breathing became rapid for a moment.

Three seconds later, she came to her senses, her gaze still fixed on Shenyue Xingyun, but she asked, "Maple Flower."

"Who is this?"

Hyuga Kaede frowned slightly.

If it weren't for the safety of her beloved, she really wouldn't want Shenyue Xingyun following behind such a person.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her disgust and said calmly, "Miss Linzi, this is my friend, Shenyue Xingyun."

"Come over here and let's talk."

"Besides, now is not my lookout time."

Normally, Hinata Rinko would have taken the opportunity to scold Hinata Kaede for such a response, but now, her attention was focused on Shinzuki Seiun. Hearing Hinata Kaede's reply, she thought for a moment and quickly compared it to the information in her mind.

"You are Shenyue Xingyun?"

"The womanizing loser at the ninja academy??"

She made no attempt to hide the surprise in her voice.

Shingetsu Seiun glanced at Hinata Kaede, whose expression was displeased, then looked at Hinata Rinko in front of him and nodded slightly.

"It must be me."

Upon hearing this, Hinata Rinko widened her eyes and looked him up and down.

She was surprised.

She had heard in her clan before about a person named Shingetsu Seiun from the Ninja Academy who was as beautiful as a fairy and had ambiguous relationships with many girls.

He has very poor talent and I've heard his reputation is quite bad.

At the time, she only listened to it as gossip to be discussed over tea.

It wasn't until we met today that she realized the rumors were true. Not only were they true, but the rumors were even somewhat conservative.

This is not pretty at all.

It's absolutely gorgeous!

It's like a masterpiece that the Sage of Six Paths created especially for the women of the ninja world when he had nothing else to do.

After giving her a rather impolite look, Hinata Rinko suddenly asked a question.

"Shingetsu Nebula, may I call you Nebula?"

What's your relationship with Maple Flower?

Shen Yue Xingyun frowned slightly.

Having always been used to women's surprise and scrutiny, Hinata Rinko's gaze was still too blatant.

He said calmly, "Miss Linzi."

"I can't tell you about my relationship with Maple Flower, and besides..."

"It's not appropriate to address me like that since it's our first meeting. You can call me Hosun Jonin."

"A Jonin!?" Hinata Rinko's eyes widened. "You're a Jonin?"

Even Hyuga Kaede opened her mouth wide, staring at Shingetsu Seiun in disbelief, trying to see if he was joking.

Shenyue Xingyun remained expressionless.

"Correct."

Even a special Jonin is still a Jonin.

After realizing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Hinata Rinko looked at Shinzuki Seiun with a gaze full of curiosity.

"Nebula... Jonin."

"I have some good tea in my room, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Chapter 126 Parting on Unhappily

Shenyue Xingyun shook her head, intending to refuse.

Just then, Hyuga Kaede suddenly pulled him back.

"Um, Miss Linzi."

"Nebula is my friend, and she's quite strong."

"I brought him here to ask if it would be possible to let him join your guard."

Hinata Kaede said, trying her best to put on a smile.

However, Hinata Rinko chuckled softly.

"Join my guard?"

"Hyuga Kaede, you need to know your place."

"Do I need you to worry about my guards?!"

Hyuga Kaede's expression froze for a moment, and just then, Hyuga Rinko suddenly changed her tone.

"However... the matter of the guard is not something we can't discuss. Nebula, come and sit with me, let's talk about your joining the guard."

Shingetsu Seiun pressed down on Hinata Kaede's shoulder, silencing her before she could say anything, and shook his head at Hinata Rinko.

"No need."

"No need?" Hinata Rinko raised an eyebrow. This gesture might be pleasing to the eye if a beautiful woman did it, but when she did it, it only revealed an air of arrogance.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"If you want to join the Hyuga Guard, a branch family member's word doesn't count. I have to give my approval."

"Think it over again, I'll give you a chance to back out."

As Hinata Rinko spoke, her gaze towards Shinzuki Seiun grew even more fervent.

Whether Shingetsu Seiun and Hinata Kaede are related or not, she doesn't care. Or rather... if they are related, that would be even better.

She's just a family member who split up; why does she get to eat better than her?!

She is the truly noble head of the family.

No matter how good something is, if she sets her sights on it, it can only be hers.

Faced with her increasingly impolite gaze, Shingetsu Nebula finally lost her patience.

He spoke politely.

"Miss Linzi."

"You're dreaming."

Hinata Rinko: "..."

Shingetsu Seiun continued, "Just a main branch of the Hyuga clan. If I didn't have eyes, I would have thought that the Hyuga Tenjin had crawled out. They're so arrogant."

"Everyone in the village says the Uchiha are arrogant and domineering, but now I see the Hyuga clan isn't far behind... What, are you envious of the Uchiha clan's reputation and want to surpass them?"

Hinata Rinko's eyes widened; the barrage of attacks from Shingetsu Seiun almost left her reeling.
