Hiashi Hyuga led Izayoi and Hinata into a tearoom.
The three of them knelt on zafus. While brewing tea, Hiashi Hyuga asked, "Izayoi, have you allied with Toneri Otsutsuki? How much do you know about him?"
Because he was busy looking down, Hiashi Hyuga didn't notice that after he said this, his daughter's gaze suddenly became strange.
Izayoi was slightly enlightened, vaguely guessing the topic of this conversation.
He didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why does Uncle say that?"
"If you have already allied, I hope you don't trust him too much and must remain vigilant," Hiashi Hyuga reminded with a serious expression. "This person definitely has ill intentions towards you."
Hinata couldn't help but lower her head, clenching her small fists, afraid she would burst out laughing.
After all, Izayoi being Toneri Otsutsuki was a secret only she knew. Even her father, sister, and Karin couldn't be told.
However, the more she didn't want to laugh, the more Hinata's mind wandered.
Thinking of her father, who was always expressionless and serious, telling her boyfriend not to trust himself, and how he, like everyone else in the Shinobi World, was being played by Izayoi, Hinata's beautiful and delicate little face couldn't help but show a suppressed smile.
It was only because Hiashi Hyuga's gaze was currently fixed on Izayoi. Otherwise, if he had seen his daughter's expression, he would have surely scolded her.
Love was love, but in terms of etiquette, Hiashi Hyuga was very particular.
Izayoi, on the other hand, became interested.
If he remembered correctly, in the Tenseigan movie, Hiashi Hyuga seemed to know quite a bit about the Moon branch.
Could it be that a thousand years ago, Hamura Otsutsuki, or the Otsutsuki Clan who were still in contact with the Hyuga Clan at the beginning, had given the coordinates of the spatial passage to the Hyuga Clan, and it had been passed down to this day?
If so, that would definitely be good news for Izayoi.
Izayoi still couldn't truly fly. Although the Tenseigan, which had only completed two Fetal Movements, could see the scene on the Moon, he still couldn't find the spatial passage to the Moon.
Undoubtedly, this spatial passage had been sealed.
And sealing jutsu was the most mysterious and outrageous ninjutsu in the Shinobi World. Even if Izayoi sent out a large number of Wood Clones, he couldn't find where the seal was.
Without tearing open the seal, he couldn't see the spatial passage that must contain a large amount of Chakra.
This was the reason why Izayoi had been unable to go to the Moon.
Izayoi had originally thought that he would only be able to go to the Moon to search for the Otsutsuki Clan's thousand-year legacy after the Tenseigan completed its final evolution.
Now, seeing his future Father-in-Law talking about Toneri Otsutsuki, Izayoi couldn't help but feel a glimmer of anticipation.
If his future Father-in-Law really had the coordinates of the spatial passage, perhaps he could go to the Moon in advance.
So, Izayoi cooperated with Hiashi Hyuga, pretending to be confused and asked, "Uncle, why do you seem to have a prejudice against Toneri Otsutsuki?"
Hinata, who was lowering her head, bit her lower lip hard, suppressing the urge to laugh out loud.
However, Hiashi Hyuga's subsequent answer made Hinata raise her head in surprise.
"That's right, I have a prejudice against him." Hiashi Hyuga nodded and said in a deep voice, "If the person he chose to ally with wasn't you, but someone else, I would never have such a thought. But precisely because he chose to ally with you, he must have ill intentions!"
"Father, you know about the Otsutsuki?"
Hinata wasn't foolish; she instantly realized that Hiashi Hyuga wasn't hostile towards Toneri Otsutsuki, but rather towards the surname Otsutsuki.
Thinking of this, Hinata couldn't help but steal a surprised glance at Izayoi, her heart filled with questions.
Wasn't Toneri Otsutsuki just an identity Izayoi made up?
Was the reason he said he came from the Moon so that people in the Shinobi World couldn't gather information about him?
Looking at Father's reaction, it seems the surname Otsutsuki is real. Can people really live on the Moon?
Hiashi Hyuga's next words made Hinata's expression turn dumbfounded.
"Because... our Hyuga Clan, a thousand years ago, was called Otsutsuki."
As he said this, Hiashi Hyuga's expression was also slightly complex.
After taking over as clan head, when Hiashi Hyuga read those secret histories, he once thought they were just mythical stories treasured by some ancestor, deliberately fabricated false history.
It wasn't until Toneri Otsutsuki appeared that Hiashi Hyuga realized those secret histories were real.
The myth of the Sage of Six Paths was also true.
"Th-this..."
Hinata stammered, unable to speak, her small face filled with shock.
Izayoi didn't speak but took over the task of making tea, quietly listening to Hiashi Hyuga's story.
Since his future son-in-law had become a super-level combatant and an 'ally' with Toneri Otsutsuki, Hiashi Hyuga no longer concealed these secrets that only the clan head could know. He slowly said, "The myth of the Sage of Six Paths creating the Moon is actually true. And few people know that the Sage of Six Paths actually had a younger brother, who is the ancestor of our Hyuga Clan, named Hamura Otsutsuki."
"Because he was guarding a certain 'treasure,' our ancestor led a portion of the clan to relocate to the Moon," Hiashi Hyuga sighed. "As for what that treasure is, I originally didn't know, but now it seems it must be the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path that Toneri Otsutsuki mentioned."
"Perhaps to erase the traces of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, or perhaps because some conflict arose between the two branches of the clan a thousand years ago, the branch of the Otsutsuki Clan that remained in the Shinobi World changed their surname and clan crest to the current Hyuga Clan."
"In the beginning, the two branches of the clan still maintained contact, exchanging with each other every so often, and even made an ancient agreement. But as the conflicts of the Warring States period began, the two branches gradually stopped communicating and contacting each other, until now it has become a secret that only the Main Family head of the Hyuga Clan can know."
Hinata's expression was blank, as if she were listening to a fairy tale.
She never expected that a surname she thought Izayoi had made up was actually her family's surname from a thousand years ago.
The Moon could really be inhabited, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was really on the Moon, so what was going on with Toneri Otsutsuki?
Izayoi-kun, why did he appear with Toneri Otsutsuki's identity, and why did he know all this?
Thinking of this, Hinata couldn't help but turn her head to look at Izayoi.
Meanwhile, Izayoi was pouring tea for Hiashi Hyuga and suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you know what that ancient agreement is?"
"That's why I told you to be vigilant."
Hiashi Hyuga hadn't noticed anything amiss. After picking up the teacup and taking a sip of the hot tea, he said with a serious expression, "According to the ancient agreement, if the most outstanding new generation from the Moon branch and the most outstanding new generation from the Hyuga Clan are a boy and a girl, then there is a marriage contract set by the ancestors."
"If that branch still remembers the ancient agreement, then Toneri Otsutsuki is Hinata's fiancé, and he must know about your relationship with Hinata, so it's impossible for him to be friendly towards you. Therefore, you must remain vigilant and absolutely not trust Toneri Otsutsuki."
From Hiashi Hyuga's reminder, it was not difficult to see that even if a 'marriage contract' existed between Hinata and Toneri Otsutsuki, he would resolutely choose the former between Izayoi and Toneri Otsutsuki.
Even if the latter possessed the Sage Eye, Hiashi Hyuga didn't waver in the slightest.
As a doting father, Hiashi Hyuga's paternal love for his daughter was very reserved.
He could see the feelings between Hinata and Izayoi, and he knew that they had already confirmed their relationship.
Hiashi Hyuga was also very satisfied with Izayoi as his future son-in-law.
Moreover, at this age, he possessed extraordinary combat power. When Izayoi reached Toneri Otsutsuki's age, he might not necessarily be unable to surpass the owner of that Sage Eye.
Hinata was still young and couldn't feel Hiashi Hyuga's care.
However, Izayoi saw Hiashi Hyuga's decision and felt a great fondness for this future father-in-law.
"I am very happy, Uncle, that you clearly knew about the engagement between Hinata and Toneri Otsutsuki, yet you still chose to go against that agreement and chose me between the two."
Izayoi suddenly grabbed Hinata's small hand, whose brain was still frozen and whose expression was blank, and smiled at Hiashi Hyuga, "Since Uncle, you still remember the ancient agreement, then I won't hide anything."
Under Hiashi Hyuga's slowly widening eyes and shocked gaze, Izayoi dispelled the Wood Transformation Technique. The color of his hair changed from black to white at a speed visible to the naked eye. His blue eyes, the pupils also turned blue and white, and the irises were like a solar corona, emitting an eye power that made one feel a chill just by looking at them.
These eyes were unknown last year.
Not to mention the Three Great Dojutsu, they were even less famous than the Red Eye.
At least the Shinobi World still had legends of the Red Eye, a very rare dojutsu that could counter the Byakugan.
As for the Tenseigan, it had never been heard of.
Even in the Hyuga Clan's secret history, there was no record of the Tenseigan.
But since the beginning of this year, the name of these eyes had quickly spread to every corner of the Shinobi World, being hailed as a Sage Eye on the same level as the Rinnegan.
Even because of Toneri Otsutsuki's astonishing performance, countless people highly agreed with his words, believing that the Tenseigan was an existence above the Rinnegan.
The appearance of the Tenseigan was also known to countless people.
However, there were very few people who could witness the Tenseigan up close.
Although it was the first time he had seen these eyes, Hiashi Hyuga recognized them as the Tenseigan at a glance.
"This... this..."
This time it was Hiashi Hyuga's turn to be dumbfounded, his voice stuttering with shock, completely unable to speak.
Izayoi was very satisfied with Hiashi Hyuga's reaction. He pulled the blankly staring Hinata into his arms and continued to smile, "Father-in-Law, please allow me to reintroduce myself. Your son-in-law... Otsutsuki Izayoi."
"..."
The atmosphere in the tea room was incredibly silent.
Hiashi Hyuga stared blankly at Izayoi. It took him a long time to recover, and then he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You brat, I knew why you were so focused on Hinata. You just enrolled and kidnapped my daughter not long after. So you were 'plotting something' all along!"
"So, Izayoi-kun... was originally my fiancé?" Hinata leaned in Izayoi's arms and said blankly.
"That's right, we were originally a match made in heaven." Izayoi held Hinata's small hand, intertwining their fingers, and smiled, "The Sage of Six Paths was actually the ancestor of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan. The most outstanding people from these two families, if they can obtain the power of the other, have the potential to awaken the legendary Rinnegan, whose name is... when the two extremes become one, one can obtain the power of all creation."
"Madara Uchiha obtained Hashirama Senju's power during the Valley of the End Battle, which is why he awakened the Rinnegan. The Rinnegan of the Akatsuki leader originally belonged to Madara Uchiha."
"As the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura Otsutsuki also possessed the ultimate dojutsu, which is the Tenseigan."
"And the method of awakening the Tenseigan is not much different from the Rinnegan. As long as the descendants of the two lineages with the purest blood and extremely high Byakugan purity absorb each other's Chakra, they have the potential to obtain the power of all creation."
Hearing this, Hinata suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder Izayoi-kun, you made Hanabi and me absorb your Chakra every day. No wonder Hanabi's and my Byakugan abilities and Chakra are so much stronger than the rest of the clan."
Hiashi Hyuga also looked at Izayoi with gentle eyes.
He finally understood why Hinata and Hanabi were able to break through their limits. It turned out that all of this was thanks to Izayoi.
Thinking about how Izayoi had been so generous to his two daughters without reservation, Hiashi Hyuga was even more satisfied with Izayoi as his son-in-law.
At the same time, the doubts in his heart were also resolved.
"So the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Hyuga are all from the same clan. No wonder you can awaken both the Tenseigan and Wood Release, as well as the abilities of the Uzumaki Clan, at the same time. Is this the secret to your extraordinary combat power?" Hiashi Hyuga sighed slightly, finally understanding why Izayoi could possess such unconventional combat power at his age.
Even Hashirama Senju was not this talented.
The only ones who could be more outstanding than Izayoi were probably the Sage of Six Paths and the ancestor Hamura Otsutsuki.
Thinking about how Izayoi had perfectly integrated into Konoha as a civilian orphan, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but ask, "Your parents should still be alive, right? How is that branch doing now?"
Hinata also looked at Izayoi with expectant eyes.
She didn't mind Izayoi's concealment; instead, she was happy about it.
This meant that Izayoi-kun was not an orphan; he had a surname and even family.
However, Izayoi's subsequent answer made Hinata feel a pang of heartache.
"That branch is gone."
Izayoi shook his head and said, 'feigning' calmness, "Because the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was summoned to the Shinobi World, there were disputes within that branch, and then war broke out. My vague memory only remembers my heavily injured 'father' bringing me to Konoha, arranging this identity for me, and sealing a memory into my brain, which would unlock as I grew, allowing me to gain my current strength and know my mission."
"After I awakened the Tenseigan, I could also see the Moon with my long-range vision and confirmed that there is no one there."
"Izayoi-kun, you've worked hard all these years." Hinata touched Izayoi's face with heartache in her eyes, finally understanding why Izayoi had to start a war and insisted on killing the Akatsuki leader to retrieve the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
It turned out that this was all his mission.
Hiashi Hyuga also felt a little heartache, but more than that, he was secretly pleased.
With only Izayoi left in that branch, it meant that the Tenseigan and Wood Release would be the inheritance of the Hyuga Clan from now on.
Hinata marrying out was not diluting the bloodline, but exchanging it for the more noble Otsutsuki surname.
They had made a killing!
So, Hiashi Hyuga comforted him, "My condolences. The Hyuga Clan is also part of the Otsutsuki Clan. This is also your home."
"I've already come to terms with it."
Izayoi, putting on a masterful performance, exhaled a turbid breath, rubbed Hinata's head, and smiled at Hiashi Hyuga, "However, the memory my father left me doesn't have the coordinates for the spatial passage to the Moon. I wonder if you, Uncle, have any records of the coordinates. I want to go back and see."
"I don't know about that either," Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and said, "The Hyuga Clan is a thousand-year-old prestigious family, and there is simply too much inheritance left behind. I have only read the compiled version of the secret history, which doesn't record the coordinates. However, in the library, there are still a large number of books and scrolls filled with the traces of time and history. If you need them, you can go and look through them yourself."
"Really?" Izayoi's expression brightened.
"Of course," Hiashi Hyuga nodded with a smile.
"Izayoi-kun, I'll help you too." Hinata also rolled up the sleeves of her kimono, full of motivation.
She had to help Izayoi-kun find his way home, and also go to the Moon to pay respects to Izayoi's parents.
The girl, whose confusion was finally resolved, was now very excited. She had already removed the label of girlfriend and put on the label of fiancée again.
Just as Izayoi said, they were a match made in heaven!
