Hyuga Hiashi knew there was nothing Lan Luo wanted from his clan, but he still shamelessly said, "Uchiha Clan Leader, I hope to bring back the male Hyuga bloodline from the moon." He didn't dare to say he wanted to bring back female Hyuga now, as the other party would definitely not agree.
Lan Luo remained unmoved. "Hyuga Clan Leader, that is impossible. These are all my spoils of war, not Hyuga members of your clan."
"I can offer female Hyuga from the branch family in exchange for the males you have," Hyuga Hiashi said, knowing he was on shaky ground, as those on the moon had no relation to them.
Hearing this, Lan Luo was slightly swayed. Noticing this, Hyuga Hiashi added, "I can offer Hinata for a marriage alliance with you, but you must promise us that the Hyuga bloodline will not flow out." He had made up his mind. Lan Luo knew Hinata's potential, and there was no other way. Without enough leverage, the most crucial thing was that the clan elders in the Hyuga Clan had recently been pressuring him to place the Caged Bird Curse Mark on one of his daughters.
Lan Luo thought about it and found no reason to disagree. Anyway, the Ōtsutsuki males in his hands were all controlled and had no growth potential. Hinata was different; in Lan Luo's hands, she could reach the Six Paths level.
"Alright, I agree," Lan Luo said after some thought.
"We might not have that many females temporarily; it will take ten years to hand them over," Hyuga Hiashi said cautiously.
Lan Luo thought about ten years later, his children would almost be grown adults. "Five years at most, otherwise, we won't be able to develop the Uchiha's population plan."
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief. "Understood, I will arrange it immediately when I return to the clan." Many Ninja who died during the Nine-Tailed incident had widows, who could be arranged for this.
Lan Luo then called Daji and asked her to hand over all the males from the moon to the Hyuga Clan.
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Daji next to Lan Luo—pink hair, fluffy ears, perfect curves, and white stockings on her well-proportioned, slender legs—and thought to himself how playful the young people nowadays were.
"Tomorrow, I will have Hinata move into your home. From now on, I entrust Hinata to you." Hyuga Hiashi finished speaking and then stood up and bowed slightly. He also somewhat looked down on the Hyuga Clan's rules but had no way to change them, so he would let those clan elders seek out Lan Luo and see if they could gain any advantage.
"Don't worry, Hinata will not suffer any grievances here," Lan Luo assured him. His perception of Hyuga Hiashi was probably similar to that of Fugaku: a good father, but not a good clan leader.
Both of them lacked the courage to change the rules and the responsibility to face them coldly. If they were commoners, it would be fine, but as clan leaders, they were truly failures.
Lan Luo didn't have to wait long. That same evening, a shy, timid little loli with a bowl-cut hairstyle moved into Lan Luo's home, along with his attendant, Hyuga Natsu.
Seeing little Hinata's nervous and flustered appearance, Lan Luo couldn't help but laugh and say, "Little Hinata, you don't need to be too sad. There aren't the burdens of your home here. Your father sent you here because he couldn't bear to have a girl branded with the Caged Bird Curse Mark, a slave's mark, on her forehead." His words were blunt, causing Hyuga Natsu, who stood beside them, to tremble.
Lan Luo again beckoned to Hyuga Natsu. "Come here." Hyuga Natsu took small steps to Lan Luo, knelt, and bowed her head, saying, "Greetings, Clan Leader." She was also an attendant sent to the Uchiha Clan. As a branch family member caring for the main family, it was normal in the Hyuga Clan. Moreover, in the eyes of the Hyuga main family, they were never treated as people.
Looking at this short-haired Hyuga Natsu in a maid's outfit, Lan Luo untied her forehead protector, gently placed his hand on her forehead, and slowly said, "I'll first remove your Caged Bird Curse Mark. From now on, you can rest assured and take care of Hinata. If you don't want to do this, you can also tell me." After speaking, he used the Rinnegan's "Sealing Technique Absorption" to absorb the Caged Bird Curse Mark from her forehead into his palm, transforming it into Chakra.
After conquering the moon, Lan Luo obtained data on the Caged Bird Curse Mark. Lan Luo was very proficient in Sealing Technique. After acquiring Daji, his Sealing Technique continuously evolved, especially now that he needed to modify the Six Paths' Yin-Yang Sealing Technique. Lan Luo didn't believe that the Six Paths hadn't developed more advanced Sealing Technique over a thousand years. When he saw the Sealing Technique on the moon, he was also amazed by their power. The system before Chakra must have left a lot of information for the Six Paths; otherwise, the Ōtsutsuki Clan could not have reached such a level.
Hyuga Natsu touched the spot where the Caged Bird Curse Mark on her head had disappeared. Her smooth forehead and complete eyes vision made her unable to hold back tears. Her biting her lip gave her a sense of broken beauty.
Lan Luo just patted her head and said, "From now on, you can live according to your own will. Our Uchiha Clan doesn't have so many rules." Then he turned to the timid Hinata and said, "Little Hinata, you don't have to treat me as a fiancé or anything. You are still too young. What you should do now is to make yourself strong. In the Ninja World, only by being strong do you have the power to protect yourself."
Little Hinata weakly replied, "Yes, Husband-to-be." Hearing this, Lan Luo burst into laughter again. In the Ninja World, he had never seen someone say such improper words so earnestly.
Izumi, Hikari, and Nanako, upstairs, curiously came down, followed by little Karin. Izumi complained, "What's so funny? I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you laugh so happily." She walked to Lan Luo and hugged him in a show of possession.
Hinata became even more timid. Hikari then said, "What's wrong, Lan Luo? Why did you find such a young fiancée?"
At this moment, little Karin stepped forward and actively took Hinata's hand, saying, "Hinata, are you going to be Brother Lan Luo's fiancée from now on?" They were classmates and had a good relationship.
Hinata also quietly told Karin, "My father sent me here. He brought all my clothes and daily necessities." She glanced at the Sealing Scroll on Hyuga Natsu's back.
"What? When I grow up, I also want to marry Brother Lan Luo, so what's our relationship?" Little Karin spoke without regard for anyone else's feelings, which made Nanako give Lan Luo a side-eye.
Lan Luo was also a bit embarrassed. He couldn't tell Karin to call him "Daddy" or anything like that, and Izumi and Hikari were watching the show from the side.
Soon after, Hinata and little Karin started chatting. Lan Luo asked Nanako to arrange their living quarters.
The Sky Fortress was still under construction, and the puppet army was growing, all arranged by Daji. The blueprints and construction on the moon were also arranged by Daji.
Watching Nanako lead Hinata and Hyuga Natsu upstairs, Lan Luo said to Izumi and Hikari beside him, "I might have to go to the Hidden Mist Village again tomorrow. It's very chaotic there. After the Bloody Mist Village, if the Hidden Mist Village is handled well, it will be our backyard." He also wanted to find the Plow, which was a treasure capable of traversing space-time.
Both women looked reluctant, so Lan Luo had to say again, "I checked the energy on the moon today, and it's not enough for us to evolve further. Our current strength isn't enough. To truly powerful people, we are just bigger ants."
Izumi thought for a moment and whispered in Lan Luo's ear, "We will train hard." This was the standard gentle Uchiha wife mode; many Uchiha women become similar to Izumi after marriage.
Hikari also said, "Leave the safety of the house to me." After being together for so long, this was where she felt her strength lay.
