Chapter 402 - Chapter 402: Hiashi Hyuga’s Thoughts

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Mirai and asked,

"Mirai, what did she just call you?"

"Master?"

Mirai nodded lightly and said, "That's right. From now on, she'll be my maid. If any of you need her assistance, don't hesitate to ask."

Everyone—Kurenai included—stared at him, dumbfounded.

Mirai had actually made the progenitor of chakra, the legendary Rabbit Goddess of myth, his personal maid…

This… this was beyond absurd!

Their stunned reactions were exactly what Mirai had expected.

He hadn't planned on making Kaguya Ōtsutsuki his maid from the start. But that woman had arrogance etched into her bones—she looked down on the people of the ninja world entirely. If he didn't assert dominance early on, who knew what kind of trouble she'd stir up?

After a simple introduction, the initial awe everyone felt toward Kaguya began to fade. Curiosity quickly took its place, and they started bombarding her with questions—mostly gossip.

Like:

—What was everyday life like for humans in ancient times?

—What was it like to bear a child blessed by humanity?

—How did members of the Ōtsutsuki clan live on a daily basis?

And on and on.

Kaguya, surprisingly, answered everything.

After all, it wasn't easy to get unsealed after thousands of years. The last thing she wanted was to end up sealed again anytime soon.

...

By evening, after dinner, Mirai gave Kaguya an order.

"Kaguya, come with me."

Kaguya raised an eyebrow.

"Where are we going?"

Mirai's tone was calm.

"You're going to help me bathe."

As her gaze swept over Mirai's muscular physique, a faint blush crept onto Kaguya's face.

For some reason… her body suddenly felt a little hot. What was this feeling?

...

Hyuga Clan Compound

Hiashi Hyuga looked at his daughters, Hinata and Hanabi, his face filled with concern.

"Hinata, Hanabi… are you two alright?"

Hinata quickly replied, "Please don't worry, Father. We're both fine."

Hanabi beamed and added, "Thanks to Lord Mirai's help, Sister has evolved her Byakugan into the Tenseigan!"

"You should've seen it—once she activated it, she looked just like a celestial goddess."

Hiashi's expression lit up with excitement.

If he remembered correctly, Mirai had once said the Tenseigan could rival even the Rinnegan!

"Hinata, let me see it. Show me what the Tenseigan looks like!"

Neji, standing nearby, widened his eyes as well, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Understanding their eagerness, Hinata activated her Tenseigan.

Those eyes—deep, dazzling, like distant stars—radiated with power. The moment they saw them, both Hiashi and Neji felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them.

It was as if something was pressing down on their very souls, making them instinctively want to kneel.

"Um… I only just awakened the Tenseigan, so I'm still getting used to its power," Hinata said, forming a hand seal as she spoke.

"Tenseigan Chakra Mode!"

In an instant, her body was enveloped in a shimmering green chakra cloak. A fierce, overwhelming power radiated from her.

Floating gently in midair, Hinata looked ethereal—like she didn't belong to the mortal world.

"In Tenseigan Chakra Mode, my techniques are a bit too powerful, so I won't demonstrate them here."

Hanabi immediately chimed in, "Father, Neji, you didn't see it, but that guy Ōtsutsuki Toneri split the moon in half with a single strike!"

"And now, Sis is even stronger than he was."

Hiashi and Neji stood there, mouths agape.

Split the moon in two… in one blow?

That kind of power was terrifying!

"Good! Good! Excellent!"

Hiashi clapped his hands in joy, overwhelmed with emotion.

From this day on, the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan would no longer be mocked or underestimated.

Their bloodline limit could finally stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sharingan!

...

It took a while before Hiashi finally calmed down. He noticed Neji frowning slightly and asked,

"Neji, what's on your mind?"

Neji replied, "Lord Hiashi, while it's true that Hinata has awakened the Tenseigan, it was only possible because of the power of the Giant Tenseigan."

"That kind of opportunity can't be easily replicated…"

Hiashi nodded solemnly. "True enough."

After all, unlike the Ōtsutsuki on the moon, they couldn't just collect the eyes of their own clan members to create another Giant Tenseigan.

Hearing their concerns, Hinata smiled.

"Father, Neji, there's no need to worry."

"Sensei said that as long as we can unlock the right genetic traits in the Byakugan, it can be evolved into the Tenseigan."

"My eyes already contain those key traits. All we need is some time at the lab to analyze, sequence, and replicate them."

"Once that's done, awakening the Tenseigan won't be difficult at all."

"Really?!" Hiashi and Neji exclaimed in unison.

If that were true… then wouldn't they all have the chance to awaken the Tenseigan?

Hiashi's expression turned serious.

"Hinata, you're already an adult. It's time you started thinking about your future—about marriage."

Hinata blushed. She didn't understand why her father would suddenly bring this up.

"Father, what are you trying to say?"

Hiashi looked her straight in the eyes.

"Hinata, what do you think of Lord Mirai?"

Hinata's face turned crimson.

"Father! He's my teacher!"

Hiashi waved that off. "So what? That just makes it even better. Closer ties."

"The future of our Hyuga Clan rests on your shoulders. If you think it's a good match, I'll go propose to Lord Mirai right now."

Hinata was at a loss for words.

She'd dreamed—more than once—about marrying her teacher.

But now that the possibility was right in front of her, she wasn't sure she had the courage to face it.

Would Lord Mirai even feel that way about her?

Seeing her hesitate, Hanabi stepped forward without a hint of shame.

"Father, if Sister doesn't want to, I will!"

"For the sake of the Hyuga Clan, I'm willing to marry Lord Mirai!"

Hiashi's mouth twitched slightly at her bold declaration.

For the Hyuga Clan? Please. You're just doing this for yourself.

Still, if it was Lord Mirai… he wouldn't mind offering up both of his daughters.
