"Yeah." Kotono responded softly.
Then, the two of them were silent for a moment in perfect agreement, and then changed the topic.
Kotano explained to Nobuhiko in detail about Hyuga Tennin.
After he became the clan leader, he promoted the second elder to the clan elder.
From then on, the clan could only have one line of clan leader and one line of elders. Each generation of the two clans had only one clan, who inherited the positions of clan leader and elder respectively. All other branches are planted with caged birds.
As for the choice of successor, it is decided by the previous generation.
After Kotono's explanation, Nobuhiko understood.
"Did you intentionally reincarnate into the lineage of the elders of the clan?"
If Kotono was reincarnated into the lineage of the clan leader, the relationship would be a bit messy.
"I no longer want to have any contact with the lineage left by my father, Nobuhiko..." Kotono looked a little disappointed.
After all, being stabbed in the back by your most beloved father is hard for anyone to accept.
Nobuhiko asked: "What's wrong?"
"From today on, call me Mio. I will completely sever ties with the past and only be your Hinata Mio!" Kotono's eyes were extremely determined.
Nobuhiko nodded, "Mio...my Mio."
Hinata Mio hugged Nobuhiko tightly.
At this time, a black head poked out from the floor in the middle of the living room, it was Hei Jue.
After discovering that Hyuga Mio was the reincarnation of Kotono, Nobuhiko was overjoyed and reminded Kuro Zetsu that if he was bored, he could go out and walk around Konoha.
As a result, Hei Zetsu came back from shopping and found that Nobuhiko was still flirting with Hinata Mio.
When Nobuhiko saw Hei Zetsu, he pursed his lips toward the door, signaling him to continue walking and come back later.
Hei Jue felt helpless and escaped underground again.
...
The night is getting darker.
Although Hyuga Mio wanted to stay, she obviously couldn't because of her current status as the clan's young lady.
After giving Nobuhiko a good night kiss, Hinata Mio reluctantly left.
After a while, Hei Jue returned to the living room.
At this time, Nobuhiko suddenly said:
"Agarwood, did you bring over all the experimental equipment I used in the Warring States Period?"
"Yes!" Hei Jue replied.
Nobuhiko secretly thought that the experiment must continue.
Because of Mio's unexpected situation, the progress of Byakugan's experiment has not made much progress.
Anyway, the knowledge is all in his head. After redeeming the medical ninjutsu skills, as long as he gets a little more familiar with them, he can use them skillfully.
But where should the laboratory be placed to be safer? His house does not have a basement.
basement!
Nobuhiko's eyes suddenly lit up, "Agarwood, can you use earth escape to open an underground laboratory under my house?"
"Of course!" Hei Jue replied firmly.
He may not be good at fighting, but he can basically do things related to auxiliary abilities.
What's more, what he's best at is earth escape.
"Then I'll trouble you. Open a basement under the first floor, and the entrance is in the bedroom on the first floor."
The bedroom on the first floor was the room of his deceased parents, which had been vacant and served as the entrance to the basement.
The most dangerous place is actually the safest.
Anyway, the Wanxiang Seal can even 'deceive' Byakugan's perspective, and the laboratory is at home, so there is no problem at all.
"Yes!" Hei Jue heard the words and immediately burrowed into the ground. His movements were done in one go and very skillfully.
Nobuhiko thought that Black Zetsu might take a while, so he walked towards the room on the second floor, preparing to rest and prepare a gift for Hinata Mio tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, Nobuhiko thought of the caged bird curse mark on his forehead.
He activated the Eye of Purity and began to 'see within'.
Normal white eyes can see 360 degrees without blind spots, and the maximum observation radius is 1 kilometer.
Nobuhiko's Pure Eye has increased the maximum observation radius to 5 kilometers, and also gained powerful dynamic vision similar to the Three Magatama Sharingan, which can capture the trajectory of high-speed moving objects.
At the same time, through micro-manipulation of chakra, one can also see through one's own body.
Nobuhiko 'saw' another stream of chakra in his head, as well as the technique attached to it.
He began to observe bit by bit to see how the Caged Bird Technique had been changed.
After all, it involves the brain, so you must be careful and careful!
About half an hour passed when Nobuhiko suddenly sneered.
"Ha! I thought the Hyuga Tennin was really that powerful? He 'improved' the new caged bird technique that I had painstakingly studied for many years.
I didn’t expect that it was just based on the original caged bird in the first version, and added dual chakra control techniques, and it was still so rough!
In this way, by directly covering the technique with the 'flying bird' seal, the caged bird can be released. "
Thinking of this, Nobuhiko concentrated chakra towards his brain and imprinted the Asuka Seal on the periphery of the double chakra technique.
In this way, if the clan member who cast the caged bird used a control spell on him, he would be able to use the flying bird seal to offset the negative effects.
There will be no pain, let alone brain death.
Now Nobuhiko can release the Caged Bird Technique at any time, but it is obviously not a good time now.
After all, he has just returned from the projection world and has not fully digested the benefits gained.
Now if you meet a jounin whose abilities are more focused on combat, he may not be able to defeat him, let alone an elite jounin.
Once the caged bird is released, the Zong family, as the caster, will be able to sense that the caged bird is broken, and then Nobuhiko will be in trouble.
Anyway, there is a flying bird mark. If someone uses the caged bird control technique on him, when he senses the change of chakra, he can destroy the caged bird first without any danger to his life.
And I don’t know if the pupil power of the Pure Eye is too strong, so he doesn’t have a blind spot in his sight now.
"Now we should improve our strength first. No matter how crazy the Zong family is, they will not use caged birds for no reason."
Nobuhiko thought to himself.
As long as he maintains a respectful attitude, the Zong family will only win over him.
Just like after the prophecy stone incident, his treatment has been improved a lot. Otherwise, with the talent he showed at the beginning, he might not even be able to go to the key classes.
Now there is Hinata Mio in the middle. When he regains his strength or opens his reincarnation eye, then he will teach these unscrupulous descendants a lesson!
Nobuhiko was thinking a lot, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
The next morning, he got up early to do morning exercises.
After a night of hard work, Hei Jue finally successfully opened up an underground laboratory of about one hundred cubic meters.
Although the area is not large, it is enough for the time being.
Moreover, Heijue also moved in all the experimental equipment and materials, including the latest microscopes and large computers.
Some things that couldn't fit were placed in storage scrolls.
The main reason is that Nobuhiko's current chakra amount is not enough, and the all-encompassing seal that can be released can only cover such a large area. If he digs any further, it will exceed the scope of the barrier.
Moreover, Nobuhiko's home is too small, and it is easy to hit the sewer if he digs far away.
Nobuhiko smiled after hearing Black Zetsu's report.
Black Zetsu came this time and brought two million taels of cash to Nobuhiko.
And he told Nobuhiko that he also owned the mining rights of four mines in the Land of Fire. In addition, he purchased many properties in the City of Fire and established a network of relationships among the human nobles.
So there is not much cash at the moment.
But Nobuhiko didn't care, two million taels, which was a huge sum of money for an elite jounin.
Enough for Nobuhiko’s practice and life in the next few years.
As for those real estate properties, they will be more useful in the future, but now they are mainly focused on improving their own strength.
"Agarwood, in the next period of time, you can move around freely, as long as you come once a month and report to me on the situation in the ninja world.
On the other side of my conscious clone, you try to help him. His identity is indeed very useful. "
"Yes! Dad, I'll leave first!"
After Black Zetsu left, Nobuhiko came to the yard to practice swinging his sword.
Because he has returned to his true form, his sword skills have improved several levels in the projection world, so he has to get familiar with his body as quickly as possible.
Black Zetsu also brought over the ninja sword given to him by the Senju clan.
This knife is about eighty-six centimeters long. Nobuhiko calculated the most suitable length after taking into account the main body's habits.
The sword is made entirely of chakra metal and was forged by the most famous forging master in the Craftsman Country at the time. It is an imitation of the three sacred weapons, and its quality is comparable to the Kusanagi sword.
In addition to the three clear artifacts, the Amancongyun Sword, the Tenbu-ryu Sword, and the Juken Sword, many other high-quality swords will be collectively referred to as the Kusanagi Sword.
Although the current market price of chakra metal cannot be used to measure the price of the Warring States Period, after all, the current price of chakra metal is much more expensive than that of the Warring States Period.
But Nobuhiko's Kusanagi sword is made entirely of chakra metal.
Doping a little bit of this metal into a weapon can greatly improve the weapon's chakra conductivity.
Now the entire sword is made of chakra metal. The raw materials of this Kusanagi sword alone are worth millions of taels. With the workmanship included, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth tens of millions of taels.
The reward of tens of millions of taels is at least the reward for several S-level missions.
Nobuhiko can't get rid of this kind of thing now. After all, his parents are ordinary chuunin, and his ancestors don't seem to have any powerful ninjas. Now he can only seal it in a storage scroll.
You can only wait until you go to the battlefield to use it in a life and death battle.
At that time, not many people care about how much Nobuhiko's Kusanagi sword is worth, what they care about is whether the sword is sharp.
And by then, Nobuhiko might be able to show off his cards.
"Speaking of which, the prophecy I left behind should have been passed down..."
"It's just that looking at the way the Zong family looks now, they are probably used to being domineering."
"What they are thinking about now is how to use the caged bird to control me in the future, instead of really caring about whether I am the person predicted to lead Hinata to the top again."
Nobuhiko thought while practicing his sword skills with a wooden sword.
...
After the morning exercise, Nobuhiko took the money and went to the business district to prepare a gift for Mio.
Then go home and wait.
As soon as it was afternoon, Mio arrived at Nobuhiko's home.
The two were talking in the living room when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Nobuhiko walked to the entrance, opened the door and took a look, only to see Maki Uchiha standing outside the door.
"Maki, why are you here?" Nobuhiko smiled slightly.
Uchiha Maki snorted softly and said: "I just happened to pass by a nearby street, so I stopped by to take a look. You haven't gone to the third training ground recently. Are you lazy at home?"
Nobuhiko's mouth twitched.
Just passing by?
Although his family is at the very edge of the Hyuga clan's territory, ordinary people can move around the periphery of the Hyuga clan's territory, but they have to cross at least one street.
"Looking at you, you must be lazy. I want to see what you are doing at home!" Seeing that Nobuhiko had no intention of inviting her in, Uchiha Maki squeezed towards the door.
"This...I don't have time today, let's practice together another day." Nobuhiko stopped Uchiha Maki.
Uchiha Maki looked at Nobuhiko suspiciously.
At this time, Hinata Mio leaned half of her body out of the living room door and looked around, "Nobuhiko, what's wrong? Who is here?"
"Is it Maki?!"
Hyuga Mio was very enthusiastic when she saw Uchiha Maki, her 'friend' before she regained her memory.
It seems that her character has been affected a little bit.
But Nobuhiko quite likes this.
It turns out that Kotono is still too conservative. Even though they have been together for many years, they are still reluctant to try many things, and Nobuhiko doesn't like to force her.
Now that I have become Mio, there is hope for a change.
It seems that theory can be transformed into practice and new postures and skills can be unlocked!
"Mio, why are you at... Nobuhiko's house?" Uchiha Maki looked at Hinata Mio in surprise.
In the past few days when she wasn't looking for Nobuhiko, the two of them had made such rapid progress?
Nobuhiko was obviously not particularly enthusiastic about Hinata Mio in school. He felt that he liked Kakashi more, but he didn't expect that in private...
"Today is my birthday, so I invite Nobuhiko to my birthday party. You should come too!" Hinata Mio smiled.
She was planning to invite her anyway.
Although Hinata does not have a good relationship with Uchiha, the relationship between the ninja clan does not affect the personal relationship. After all, they are all from the same village.
Especially now that they are all just students of the ninja school, not even official ninjas.
"Oh, okay!" Uchiha Maki looked relieved when he heard Hinata Mio's explanation.
Seeing Hinata Mio holding Uchiha Maki's hand with a smile, a "?" slowly appeared on Nobuhiko's forehead.
is that OK?
Can't you see that she is lusting after my body?
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Nobuhiko couldn't help but wonder if he was being sentimental.
He was just about to close the door and go in, but found another person coming into the yard.
It was Kakashi who was carrying the White Fang Ninja Sword.
