Chapter 91 – The Hyuga Patriarch Loses His Mind, Tsunade Gets Blackout Drunk Instead of Knocking
Hyuga compound, secret training room.
"Huff… huff…"
Hiashi's face was deathly pale, like he'd just recovered from a fatal illness.
But his eyes were shining brighter than ever before.
"This… this is the Byakugan's evolved technique?!"
"So the Byakugan can actually evolve like the Sharingan!!"
Hiashi had never been this excited in his life.
Before today, he respected Aike purely out of fear.
Now it was reverence—Aike held the future of the entire Hyuga clan in his palm.
"That was barely half my power," Aike said casually. "And above that lies the final form of the Byakugan. The eye that can truly destroy the shinobi world."
He was, of course, talking about the Tenseigan.
The last souvenir he planned to pick up before leaving the Naruto world.
He already had the Rinnegan. No way he was leaving without its twin.
"Destroy… the entire shinobi world?!"
Hiashi's heart pounded so hard he thought it would burst.
Did such an eye really exist?
Now he finally understood Aike's earlier words.
No need to worry about the caged-bird seal anymore.
Forget world-destroying eyes—even if Hinata only reached Aike's current level, suppressing the main-family fossils would be child's play.
Still, he had to confirm.
"You mean… you'll teach this power to my daughter?"
"Of course. Standard crew benefits. Same deal I gave Izumi with her Eternal Mangekyou."
"I'm not stingy with my own people."
Hiashi walked home in a complete daze.
The normally stoic, dignified clan head was grinning like an idiot the entire way.
Everyone he passed did a double-take, wondering if they were seeing a ghost.
By evening, a wild rumor had spread:
"Hiashi finally got laid! The Hyuga are getting a new lady of the house!"
Within hours the whole village knew.
Allied clans showed up at the gate with "heartfelt" congratulations while Hiashi stood there utterly confused.
The next day.
To Aike's genuine surprise, the target customer still hadn't shown up.
"Oof, looks like she doesn't trust you at all~" Carina leaned in, teasing.
"She saw right through your evil little scheme," Nami piled on.
Kaya and Izumi giggled in the background.
From the day they met him, Aike had always worn that "everything is going according to keikaku" face.
Every hook he tossed out came back with a fat fish.
Today was the first time the girls saw him actually miss.
It was… refreshing.
Aike's forehead sprouted black lines.
"Looks like last night's lesson wasn't thorough enough."
"Want me to work overtime tonight? Add a sudden-death round?"
The four girls instantly shut up and shivered in unison.
Images of last night's carnage flashed before their eyes.
No!
Another round would actually kill them!
Victory went to Aike. Smug meter: max.
"She doesn't come, fine by me. I'm not the one losing here."
There were plenty of hot onee-sans in the sea.
Robin-nee was waiting back home, and he still had that cute little secretary pre-booked in Water 7.
Aike never fixated on one tree.
Except this time the girls were wrong.
It wasn't that Tsunade didn't want to come.
After getting Aike's message through Kurenai yesterday, her chronic "private matters paralysis" kicked in again.
Overwhelmed, she dragged Shizune (fresh from the hospital) straight to the bar.
Unlike Jiraiya, Shizune was the perfect emotional support.
Her exact words:
"If Tsunade-sama misses Nawaki that much, just say yes. If the resurrection feels wrong, we can always cancel it later."
And just like that, Tsunade saw the light.
Then she proceeded to drink enough sake to drown a summons.
She passed out cold before she could even stand up.
