Hearing this, Hyuga Ranmo couldn't help but laugh.
"Where's the teacher?
Did he go to the hospital?"
"Yeah, the second match is this afternoon!"
"We lost, so be it. Don't worry too much. Let's go see Teacher Yamashiro!"
After saying this, Hyuga Ranmo walked towards the Konoha Hospital in the village.
In the distance, the Anbu and the Third Hokage, who hadn't caught up with them, sighed at the sight.
By the time they arrived in the forest, it was already too late. By the time they finally caught up with a few people, the fight was over. In any case, they hadn't seen the battle.
The only conclusion the Third Hokage could draw was from what Hyuga Hikaru had told him: Hyuga Ranmo could use Body Flicker Technique and Wood Release ninjutsu.
His sensory abilities were also very strong; even in daylight, he could accurately strike enemies and know what was happening around him.
Of course, sometimes he seemed unaware, like yesterday when Onoki came; he only seemed to react after Onoki spoke.
This was probably related to his chakra usage.
In any case, this kid was a mystery!
Visiting Mr. Yamashiro at the hospital, he learned that Mr. Yamashiro was alright.
Seeing that Hyuga Hikaru had returned safely, he was relieved. Hyuga Hikaru then went on and on about Hyuga Ranmo, praising his abilities and how he had saved him, etc.
Mr. Yamashiro looked on in astonishment, turning to look at Hyuga Ranmo.
This child was actually a master.
Uchiha Itachi successfully made it into the top 200.
Overall, the lower grades weren't too disgraceful; at least one student made it in.
The second round was held in the afternoon, the third round the following morning, and the fourth round in the afternoon.
In short, the Third Hokage had spent 60,000 to 70,000 yen in prize money, three ninjutsu manuals, and two days of work with students and teachers from the same school, only to find he hadn't obtained any information from Hyuga Ranmo—something he hadn't expected.
But
what could he do?
Ranmo hadn't even made it to the first round; was he really going to force him to intervene?
Besides, intervening in the competition was somewhat understandable, but if an entire class had withdrawn, was he going to have the Anbu attack such young children?
In any case, this time he hadn't gotten what he wanted.
School life continued as usual, with daily routines of going to and from school, basic education!
However, Jiraiya had left Konoha to investigate Orochimaru's whereabouts, and Hyuga Aimo was back to living alone, though thankfully he had many friends.
Recently, Uzuki Yugao was away on a mission, but Ayame, Inuzuka Hana, and Hyuga Hikari often came to his house to play.
Ayame was pretty, cute, and quiet, and could make all sorts of sweets and delicacies, making her very popular.
Inuzuka Hana, although she was with them, spent most of her time playing with her dog.
Only Hyuga Hikari was incredibly talkative, spending the entire evening after school and dinner bragging. He talked about the Hyuga clan's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Eight Trigrams One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms, and how incredibly powerful and awesome the Byakugan was, and how interesting their clan gatherings were, etc.
He didn't know any of these things, hadn't even attended more than twice, yet he boasted about them like they were the best!
He even said that the eldest daughter of the main family was beautiful and cute, and that she liked him the most, always smiling whenever she saw him…
He was referring to Hinata Hyuga.
When she was born, Hinata Hyuga wasn't in Konoha, so naturally
he didn't go to his house to send a congratulatory gift. Of course, for someone forgotten by his clan, it didn't matter whether he went or not!
But unexpectedly, while he and his friends were playing in Hinata Hyuga's courtyard, the main family came to invite him, which puzzled him.
When he arrived at the main family's residence, he learned what had happened.
Inside the main room, two people were drinking tea.
One was the main person, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga, and opposite him sat the gloomy, petty Danzo Shimura.
The two held teacups, smiling, as if they were talking.
Hinata Hyuga had never seen Danzo smile before, but at this moment, his smile was like that of a ferocious monster, making people extremely uncomfortable to look at.
"Lanmo's here! Come, come, have a seat!"
In Hyuga Lanmo's memory, Hyuga Hiashi had never spoken to him before, yet today he was all smiles, as if they were old friends.
"No need, I'll just stand here.
Just say what you have to say!" Hyuga Lanmo said.
"Haha, look at this kid, so arrogant. But it's alright, I like him, haha..." Danzo revealed his disgusting smile again.
He had changed his tactics. Unable to get permission from the Third Hokage, he had come to the Hyuga family to speak favorably of Hyuga Hiashi.
This was quite an improvement for him; at his age, he had even learned to be more cunning.
"Hehe..." Hyuga Hiashi also laughed, but as he raised his cup to drink tea, he still glanced at Hyuga Lanmo out of the corner of his eye.
There had been many rumors about him lately, but the village's upper echelons hadn't given him any special treatment, to the point that he had come to believe the rumors were false.
But today, Danzo actually came to visit in person, saying he had something good to discuss with the Hyuga clan head and wanted to see Hyuga Ayame.
He even had a fawning smile on his face, proving that the rumors were true!
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi's heart pounded. Just imagine, a six-year-old Hyuga clan child could defeat Onoki, nearly destroy Iwagakure, and even capture their tailed beast—what kind of ability was that?
Let alone a child, even dozens of Jonin might not be able to do that!
Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath, steadied himself, and looked back at Hyuga Ayame.
The child stood there stubbornly, a defiant look in his eyes.
It seemed the Hyuga clan hadn't taken good care of him over the years, causing him to show some resistance.
Seeing Hyuga Ayame standing in the courtyard, Danzo's smile widened: "Hyuga Ayame, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us?
Why don't you come in and we can talk it over?
Your clan head is sitting right here; don't you even give him this much face?"
Hyuga Lanmo looked up at Hyuga Hiashi, and after a long while, he took off his shoes and entered the main house!
"That's right, come, have a cup of tea. By the way, tea isn't good for children, so perhaps..." Danzo glanced around. Hyuga
Hiashi immediately understood and said, "Someone, bring me a glass of milk!"
Yes!" someone outside replied.
"You don't need to bother, just tell me, what do you want with me so late?"
"Hyuga Lanmo..." Suddenly, Danzo reached out to grab his fingers to show affection!
But Lanmo pulled his hand away and put his hands behind his back.
