Shinju is the Sixth Hokage and a hero of the ninja world; his status is noble.
Furthermore, he recently helped Hanabi retrieve her eyes, earning the gratitude of the Hyuga clan.
Logically speaking, the Hyuga clan would do their best to satisfy any of his requests.
However, when it comes to anything related to Hanabi, Hiashi cannot agree. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
Ever since Shinju retrieved her eyes, Hanabi has changed completely. She finds every excuse to approach Naruto to ask for news about Shinju...
Not only that, but she also runs to the Hokage's office every few days...
As a father and someone who has been there before, how could Hiashi not see through his youngest daughter's thoughts?
"She's only twelve years old, Sixth Hokage... ┭┮﹏┭┮"
Hyuga Hiashi wailed in a low voice.
Shinju looked at the suddenly sorrowful Hyuga Hiashi, scratching his head in confusion.
"Ah... twelve is just the age for attending the Academy. Are you asking me not to interfere with Hanabi's studies, Hiashi-san?"
Just then, Hanabi, returning home from school, happened to see Shinju standing at her doorstep. (´◊ω◊｀)
"Sixth Hokage! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"
Hiashi's heart sank. Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
Oh no, they actually ran into each other!
"Shinju-san, do you have business at my house?"
Hanabi asked excitedly.
Shinju opened his mouth, about to explain his purpose, when he saw Hiashi frantically winking and signaling not far away...
Although he didn't understand Hiashi's meaning, Shinju swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.
"Ah... I was just passing by... the sun is really bright today, haha..."
Hanabi was obviously a bit disappointed, but she still said excitedly,
"But it's evening right now... then do you want to stay for dinner at my house?"
Shinju shook his head. "No need, I'll head back first..."
Seeing Shinju walk away, Hyuga Hiashi let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew~~"
...
Half an hour later, Shinju's house.
Shinju was recounting the Hyuga family's strange reaction to Naruto and Hinata.
"...That's how it is. It feels like your dad is guarding against me like I'm a wolf or something, Hinata. ∑(°Д°)"
Hinata looked awkward, momentarily unsure of how to answer.
"Father he... might just be afraid that Hanabi will encounter some mishap again, so he's a bit high-strung. Don't take it to heart, Shinju, hehehe..."
Naruto quickly agreed, "Right, right, right, high-strung. ^o^"
Shinju nodded, understanding the well-intentions of a parent, and didn't take the matter to heart.
"In that case, I can only rely on you, Hinata."
Saying that, Shinju took out the massive golden Tenseigan...
Shinju had helped Naruto and Hinata with their relationship a lot, so naturally, Hinata wouldn't refuse his request.
"Let's begin, Shinju-kun."
Shinju nodded and activated his Rinnegan technique. "Aoki-no-Mikoto!"
An identical clone of Shinju appeared in the room.
Immediately after, the clone Shinju placed his hand over Hinata's Byakugan to sense the Byakugan chakra...
A few seconds later, the clone Shinju's eyes turned into a hazy gray.
After a while, he shouted, "Byakugan, activate!"
Hinata: ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!
"Bya... Byakugan?!"
Naruto: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
"Shinju, how did you do that?"
Shinju: "It's simple. First you do this, then that... and then it's done."
"Enough talk, I'm starting!"
Hinata was stunned. "Do you still need my help?"
Shinju: "Didn't you just help? I only needed to sense your Byakugan."
"Letting you participate in the experiment is too dangerous; your eyeballs might explode..."
Afterward, under the watchful eyes of Hinata and Naruto, Shinju used the clone's Byakugan as a medium to attempt absorbing the chakra from the Tenseigan...
At first, everything was normal, but suddenly, a "Pop!" sound came from the clone's head!
Shinju glanced back; as expected, the eyeballs had exploded.
"Absorbing the Tenseigan requires precise chakra control. One slip up and accidents happen..."
Facing Hinata and Naruto's shocked gazes, Shinju explained while helping the clone restore its eyes to continue the experiment...
Time flew by until the next morning. Throughout the night, Shinju constantly summoned Aoki-no-Mikoto clones and finally completed the absorption of the Tenseigan...
Hinata had gone home long ago, and Naruto was dozing off on the sofa.
"Did it work? (´,,•∀•,,`)" At some point, Naruto woke up from his dream and asked with a look of pleasant surprise.
Shinju nodded and slowly opened his left eye...
Naruto was instantly stunned. "Whoa~ So cool! (´◊ω◊｀)"
Shinju's left eye had mutated once again. The original purplish-red base had turned into cyan-blue, with a ring of light and nine tomoe surrounding the pupil, looking dazzling and mysterious!!
Naruto: "A combination of the Tenseigan and the Rinnegan... what should we call it? Tensei-Rinnegan? Rinne-Tenseigan?"
Shinju: "..."
"Your naming sense doesn't have even one-thousandth of your dad's flair. --003d_--003d"
Naruto scratched his head. "Then what do you think it should be called?"
Shinju: "Can't think of one. I'll resurrect your dad some other day and let him pick a name. (||๐_๐)"
After saying that, Shinju tested the Tenseigan's abilities.
Chakra absorption, constructing spatial passages, gravity control...
"It's quite useful, but the Tenseigan has barely appeared in ninja history, so the methods of using it still need to be developed..."
After doing all this, Shinju suppressed the eye pattern in his left eye, returning both eyes to normal.
Naruto was puzzled. "You can hide it?"
Shinju spread his hands. "Just figured it out. When Sasuke comes back, I'll tell him this method. Walking around with a Rinnegan all day is too conspicuous."
After finishing the night's research, Shinju's clone went to work, while his main body stayed home to sleep.
...
Hokage Office.
The clone Shinju was dozing off.
The main body was exhausted, so as a clone, he was equally exhausted...
Soon, Shikamaru entered with the day's documents and asked in slight surprise,
"Did you not sleep last night? Your dark circles are so heavy."
"Wait, that's not right. Your physical constitution is different from normal people. Even if you didn't sleep all night, you shouldn't be this drowsy... Did you do research last night?"
The clone Shinju: "It's a long story. Give me the files..."
Shikamaru was still a bit worried. "How about you rest for a while? It's fine to grade these documents later."
"No need, the main body is already resting at home," the clone Shinju sighed.
Shikamaru nodded and handed over a document. "Alright, take a look at this one first. It's Shino's transfer application. He feels he has the potential to be a teacher and wants to go to the Academy as a teaching assistant..."
"Sure, if he wants to go, let him go," Shinju nodded.
Shikamaru then handed over another document.
"This file is about the strange phenomena occurring in the village recently."
Shinju took the file. "People having their chakra extracted? (๑°⌓°๑)"
Shikamaru nodded. "Yes. Because this matter is too bizarre, the Police Force took a long time to confirm it."
"None of the victims have any connection to each other, and no traces of the perpetrator can be found at the crime scenes..."
