Ryun invited the few people inside. Today's dishes were quite plentiful. Then he called towards the living room, "Wife, we have guests."
Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes widened. She looked towards the doorway, whooshed into the bedroom and locked the door, then changed into formal wear and walked out.
Seeing this, Ryun could not help but be stunned. Tsunade walked to Ryun's side and called out, "Husband, who are they?"
Ryun smiled. "This is the young genius of our Police Force, Hyūga Hizashi. And these two, one is your cousin called Uzumaki Kushina, the other is the recent Wind Release genius from the Konoha school, Namikaze Minato."
Ryun told Tsunade about what had just happened. Tsunade raised an eyebrow, looked at her little cousin and Namikaze Minato, smiled and waved her hand. "Come over quickly and eat."
"Hizashi, you come over too." Ryun put an arm around his shoulder and smiled. "How have you been recently? Are you adapting well to work? How are things with your family?"
While describing his recent work, Hizashi's face was filled with excitement and pride. His voice was full of passion, as if every word contained boundless energy.
He described the small achievements in his work in detail, talking animatedly about those moments that made him feel proud.
However, when the topic shifted to his family, his expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.
Although he still maintained a smile, it seemed a bit forced. He just said lightly, "It's fine, same as before."
Ryun keenly caught this slight unnaturalness, his brow furrowing slightly. What did this "same as before" really mean? He could not help but start to ponder.
You must know, although Hizashi was still young, his way of handling things was exceptionally smooth. Moreover, he was extraordinarily talented, and his strength was not to be underestimated.
Given his ability and talent, even compared to the elders in his clan, he was not inferior.
Especially in terms of strength, although Hizashi was only about seven or eight years old, he had already reached the level of a Chūnin. This was undoubtedly the result of his usual hard work and sweat and relentless effort.
Such an excellent young man should have a deeper understanding and feeling about the situation in his clan.
Ryun decided to continue observing Hizashi's reaction, and shook his head.
He was also about two heads taller than Minato, but in Ryun's view, he was also a child. He patted Hizashi's head.
"Sooner or later, I will help you remove the shackles. In a Konoha where I am present, the situation of the Byakugan leaking out will not occur." Ryun said lightly, but it brought shock to Hizashi, his eyes welling up with hot tears.
"Hokage-sama, I know you are powerful, but this is the ancestral system of the Hyūga clan. It's easier said than done. I appreciate your sentiment, Hyūga Hizashi does." His eyes were red, and he slightly lowered his gaze.
Ryun did not speak further, just patted his shoulder, burying a seed in his heart to liberate the branch family. He would definitely make the Hyūga clan change this bad practice.
What bullshit rules about main family and branch family. In the past, it was correct that the Byakugan and the Sharingan were both renowned in the ninja world, but since the Uchiha awakened the Mangekyō, this statement has become less and less accepted.
This is all because the Caged Bird Seal limits the further evolution of the Byakugan of the truly talented people in the Hyūga clan, and because the main family, who rarely experience the trials of war and usually live in comfort, are there, causing the Byakugan to make no progress.
Nominally, they are on par with the Uchiha's Sharingan, both being Konoha's ocular technique clans, but every major clan has a scale in their hearts. Who is strong and who is weak, can't they tell?
Tsunade was talking about girly things with Uzumaki Mito. The two got along very well.
Namikaze Minato was a bit ill at ease. Just then, Ryun patted his shoulder. "Not bad, I heard you took down two adult bandits. Having this kind of strength on your first day at school, you're much stronger than I was back then."
Hearing this, Tsunade's mouth twitched. You were the dead last in your class back then, that's not wrong, but that year when you were 18, you suddenly emerged as a dark horse, as if you had cheated, reaching the pinnacle of the ninja world within two years. I feel you are even more amazing.
Minato quickly stood up and shook his head. "Hokage-sama, how dare I compare myself to you? At your age, you are already Hokage, and a being at the pinnacle of the ninja world. Namikaze Minato cannot be mentioned in the same breath as you."
Ryun touched his hair. Hmm, good, not prickly. Such soft hair, how come it's either a crew cut or spiky hair by the time it gets to Uzumaki Naruto.
"Why can't you compare? I have high hopes for you." Ryun smiled. Minato's face reddened, but he still showed his signature smile.
"Ah, Hokage-sama, your Hokage Rock is about to be completed." Minato suddenly remembered what he saw a couple of days ago when he was training near the Hokage Rock.
Hearing this, Ryun was stunned. "Uh, did I order it built?" He looked at Hizashi.
Hizashi coughed lightly twice. "Hokage-sama, this is the rule. Neither the First, Second, nor Third Hokage gave orders. The craftsmen and villagers spontaneously go to carve the Hokage Rock."
Ryun nodded. "I see." Then, after chatting for thirty minutes, Ryun opened the food containers. He took out the alcohol first and placed it to the side. There were children today, he couldn't set a bad example.
Seeing this, Tsunade also understood. So she got up and went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, set the table. The three kids hurriedly took them, then together with Ryun, placed the dishes on the table.
After that, they finished this meal amidst laughter and chatter. Afterwards, Ryun went to wash the dishes, while Tsunade chatted with the three kids.
Tsunade was praised by the three kids so much she couldn't keep the corners of her mouth down. Phrases like Konoha's number one beauty, the ninja world's number one kunoichi, and such kept coming endlessly.
She covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "Thank you for the praise, I'm not that good."
Then she glanced almost imperceptibly at Namikaze Minato, the corners of her mouth turning up. At this moment, her favorable impression of Namikaze Minato had reached 90 percent.
Minato felt Kushina's gaze, looked up and met her eyes, then lowered his head, his face completely red. Only Hizashi's mouth twitched. Damn, a world of five people, one single dog.
After Ryun finished washing the dishes, he saw the few people off. Then he and Tsunade drank a little alcohol and went to sleep. After all, last night was a bit too intense. Tsunade was satisfied now, so the two just slept normally.
The next day, same as usual, Ryun prepared breakfast, then headed to the school, ready to teach. As for the matter of the Hyūga main and branch families, it couldn't be rushed. He would find the right opportunity to reason with Hyūga Sekijō or those old fellows of the Hyūga clan.
After Tsunade finished eating, she also headed to the hospital, ready to arrange for personnel to go to the Cloud Village to import precision instruments, to be used as surgical supplies for shinobi.
What? You say whether we need to worry about Tsunade's safety? You can reference the attitude of those monarchs when the Han dynasty envoys went to foreign lands.
Especially Konoha, the genuine number one in the ninja world.
