Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"I knew it. You don't look like the type to find a partner."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Although the "Pretentious King" is quite handsome, he still falls short compared to me.

He's not married, so it's normal for Hinata Yuuki to be single.

Danzo Shimura and Motoya Nara: "..."

For some reason, they raised their eyebrows slightly when they saw Lian Ye's gloating expression.

You seem quite pleased that the "King of Cool" isn't married?!

……

……

P.S.: It was a complete loss, I lost several million Harvard coins. I'm not playing Delta Force today, sob sob...

Chapter 573 I think you're even better at pretending than me.

"Do you plan to stay here, or do you want to come back to the ninja world with us?"

Having dealt with the troublemakers from the Otsutsuki branch family, and having successfully seen Hyuga Yuuki, Renya naturally saw no need to stay any longer.

To be honest, the scenery on the moon is quite ordinary; it looks the same all the time.

The only thing worth seeing is that enormous, deep blue planet in the universe.

They can't just focus on the ninja world when they come here.

Upon hearing this, all the clan members present looked at their clan leader.

Hyuga Yuuki was left in the ninja world from a young age, which was no secret, and all the Otsutsuki clan members knew about it.

They were worried that the clan leader would leave with Lian Ye and the others.

If the clan chief runs away, there will be no one to lead the remaining clan members to rebuild their homeland.

Although they did not want their clan leader to be kidnapped, the person who wanted to kidnap him was simply too powerful.

Even though they were very unwilling, no one dared to speak up to dissuade them, for fear that they would end up like those branch family members who were reduced to ashes.

They could only look at their clan leader with reluctant eyes, hoping that the clan leader could see how reluctant they were to part.

When faced with Renya's question, Hinata Yuuki was taken aback at first, then looked at the azure blue planet in the universe, and then at his reluctant clansmen.

After a long silence, he said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't stay in the ninja world forever. My clan needs me as their leader."

His meaning was clear: he could temporarily return to the ninja world with Renya, but he couldn't stay there for long.

The members of the Otsutsuki clan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

They were genuinely worried that their chieftain would be lured away by that powerful fellow.

Judging from their interactions, it's clear they have a good relationship.

Didn't you see that even now, that guy's arm is still draped over the clan chief's shoulder?

Most importantly, the clan chief did not show the slightest dissatisfaction...

"I didn't realize you were so responsible," Lian Ye said teasingly, raising an eyebrow.

It seems that during his years on the moon, Hyuga Yuuki has completely integrated into the community and developed what is known as a family bond.

But this is for the best. He was worried that Yuuki would be ostracized by his clan on the moon, and would only be able to curl up in a corner, looking up at the direction of the ninja world, silently shedding small tears, and reminiscing about every little thing about his life in the ninja world.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary; the guy was doing well.

Lianye personally dealt with the troublesome people from the Otsutsuki branch family, so there's no longer any need to worry about the branch family annihilating the main family.

The eyes of the remaining elderly, weak, women, and children from the divided family certainly cannot support the consumption of the Reincarnation Eye.

It's fair to say that Hyuga Yuuki is safer on the moon than in the ninja world.

"By the way, should I call you Hyuga Yuuki now, or Otsutsuki Yuuki?" Renya clicked her tongue. "I never knew you had such a little-known identity."

If they hadn't accidentally stumbled upon him during their trip to the Warring States period, they would have had no idea of ​​Hyuga Hiroki's true identity...

Hyuga Yuuki looked at Renya's unreliable behavior and said calmly, "Whatever you want to call me."

As long as this guy stops calling me by my nickname, that's fine.

“Then I’ll continue to call you ‘King of Pretentiousness,’ it’s a more natural name,” Lian Ye said with a smile.

Hinata Yuuki: "..."

Sure enough, this guy still can't get enough of calling himself the "King of Pretentiousness".

After decades, he finally voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

"Lianye-kun, what exactly do you mean by 'King of Cool'?"

Actually, he wanted to ask that question when he was at the Ninja Academy.

But fearing that Lianye would think she was stupid if she asked, she never did.

This question has lingered for nearly thirty years.

He thought he would die at the hands of the branch family and never have the chance to go to the ninja world to get the answer.

Unexpectedly, Lian Ye came to the moon to help him quell the rebellion of the branch family, and this was the best opportunity to get the answer.

“Uh…” Lian Ye pulled her hand off the elm’s shoulder, scratched her head and thought for a moment, “Being a ‘pretentious king’ means you’re being pretentious.”

Back when he was at the Ninja Academy, he talked to Hyuga Yuuki, who always seemed calm and collected.

Lianye was often annoyed by Yushu's temper, and felt that this guy was really lucky.

The title "King of Pretentiousness" was thus born naturally.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Yuki suddenly realized that "逼王" (bīwáng) meant someone who was pretentious or affected.

"Lotus Night Lord, I think you're even better at pretending than I am. So, what should I call you?"

He tilted his head and looked at Lian Ye curiously, seemingly wanting to know the words that could be even more pretentious than the "King of Pretentiousness".

That kind of title is most appropriate for this guy.

When it comes to showing off, I, Hyuga Yuuki, would call you the strongest!

Lian Ye: "..."

He never imagined that one day the person he had certified as the king of pretentiousness would say that he was even better at pretentiousness than him.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have explained it.

Seeing Danzo Shisun's face, which looked as if he had swallowed a fly, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Is this considered reaping what you sow?

He's always been the one being sarcastic and witty, it's been a long time since I've seen him get sarcastic.

"Renya-kun, isn't there a word to call you?" Hinata Yuuki laughed, "Then I'll call you the King of Pretentiousness."

It's really interesting to see Lian Ye looking so embarrassed.

"Whatever, you show-off."

Lian Ye rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!

"Okay, Lotus... King of Force."

Lian Ye: "..."

Fortunately, Hinata Yuuki did not continue the discussion on this topic, but instead led the group to the main family's residence to rest.

He did indeed want to return to the ninja world with Lianye and the others, but he needed to arrange everything beforehand.

Especially in the handling of the remaining family members.

If this isn't handled properly, those children might return in the future...

Nara Honya and the old Hyuga clan chief had both gone to help Hyuga Yuuki devise a plan, leaving only Renya and Shimura Danzo behind.

"Since we're already here, let's take a look at the ninja world."

Lianye opened her storage scroll, took out two reclining chairs, and then leisurely lay down on them, watching the constantly rotating ninja world.

Danzo Shimura: "..."

This guy never forgets to enjoy life, no matter where he is.

Oh well, what can I do? He's my good brother.

With that thought in mind, he lay down on another chair.

The Ninja World, at the entrance of the Hokage Building.

After finishing a day's work, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally had a short break.

"It's been so long, why haven't we heard from Lian Ye and the others yet?"

He was really looking forward to the trip to the moon; seeing the ninja world from there would definitely be a unique experience.

As he spoke, he stretched and then froze on the spot.

Wait, he thinks he just saw a huge, dark red giant.

"That looks like Renya's Susanoo..."

What a joke!

Those guys went to the moon without even calling me!

Chapter 574 Sorry, Hiruzen

"Why, why are you doing this to me!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the dark red Susanoo slowly dissipate and muttered to himself.

These days he has been fantasizing about traveling on the moon.

He hadn't received any notification and assumed the Anbu hadn't found the location. Little did he know that it wasn't that they hadn't found the way to the Ninja World, but rather that Renya and the others hadn't informed him of their departure at all.

My back, which had been bent over from handling documents all these days, finally broke the moment I learned the truth.

At this moment, he finally understood why Danzo had been willing to let him serve as acting Hokage.

This isn't a proxy Naruto; it's clearly a free ox or horse.

It was because of his existence that Danzo was able to travel to his ninja world and to the moon with Renya.

They're probably leisurely enjoying the scenery of the ninja world on the moon right now...

The thought of them enjoying life while I'm dealing with government affairs until late at night is unbearable.

Suddenly, the position of acting Hokage doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

"Only an idiot would become Hokage..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but recall what Renya had said before. At the time, he thought Renya was talking nonsense, but now he finally understood the true meaning of those words.

It turns out that Lian Ye had seen through everything long ago.

"Sigh, what a pity..."

By the time I realized the truth, it was already too late.

After years of hard work, I finally got promoted from Hokage's assistant to acting Hokage.

How could he possibly give up so easily?

If I wait a few more years, Danzo will definitely retire, and then I will rightfully become the Fourth Hokage.

Even if things are tough and tiring now, at least there's hope for the future.

Hiruzen Sarutobi managed to calm himself down.

Although he didn't go on a trip to the moon, he did manage to get all the paperwork done in the village, didn't he?

He glanced reluctantly at the moon in the sky, sighed, and returned home.
