After Kusuo left, Tsunade and the others did not plan to follow him back to the village. Although the incident in the Hidden Rain Village was resolved, since the village's Kage had already made a move, staying on the battlefield was perhaps the most valuable course of action. If it could reduce unnecessary losses, Tsunade was naturally willing.
Unlike the battlefield in the Land of Demons, where the ninja of the Hidden Stone Village had been basically swept clean by Kusuo, there was no need for extra high-end combat power to be stationed there now. After all, with a taijutsu master like Guy holding the fort, it was more than enough.
Kusuo traveled without stopping, returning to the village at the fastest possible speed.
"Kusuo!" Hinata was out buying groceries and happened to run into the just-returned Kusuo. She called out with pleasant surprise.
"Mm. Come back with me for a bit," Kusuo replied, wrapping an arm around the girl's waist and about to rush home.
"Hey, hey... wait! I haven't finished buying groceries yet!" Hinata cried out, caught off guard as she was pulled into a firm embrace. She pointed at the not-so-distant market and the vegetable basket that had fallen at her feet. She already had the makings of a housewife.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I have something important to discuss with you all." Shaking his head, Kusuo's words carried an unquestionable decisiveness. Such a serious and solemn attitude... it was the first time Hinata had seen it.
"Alright!" Seeing her beloved being so formal, she couldn't be bothered with buying groceries anymore. Hinata naturally nodded and went back with him.
The moment they entered the door, little sister-in-law Hanabi's heart was filled with wild joy. Seeing her long-awaited brother-in-law, she came up for a hug. Shion's amber eyes also lit up.
Then, all three girls were embraced in his arms. After a good while of tender affection, they reluctantly let go.
"Alright, alright, it's not like we're parting forever. What's with all this sentimentality?" Kusuo said with a smile, patting their backs, his voice gentle.
"Mm," a few mosquito-like "mm's" sounded.
Kusuo had them sit down.
"Shion, you go outside and set up some barriers. Use the highest specifications. Remember, you must ensure that no one can break through the barrier and detect what is happening here." Kusuo's words were solemn and grave. Shion's small face also put away its smile, and she nodded with great seriousness.
This scene... made Hinata and Hanabi's hearts curious. Kusuo is being so mysterious and so serious. Could it be that he has something major to announce?
For a moment, their little hearts began to beat wildly.
Before long, a holy light shone from outside the door. This was a profound sealing jutsu that only the successive priestesses of the Land of Demons could cultivate. A sealing jutsu that was enough to seal the Tailed Beast-level Mōryō... the current Konoha had absolutely no one who could break through it.
"Alright." Shion walked in, the faint white light and the priestess's chakra on her body slowly dissipating, turning into shimmering starlight. Hinata watched this scene, a trace of envy flashing in her eyes.
After confirming that the barrier was complete and no one could break through, Kusuo breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, even though he was already so strong, the treasure in his arms still made him have to treat it with seriousness.
"Next, I'm going to show you something. Something that can be called the most precious treasure in the entire ninja world."
A treasure? The most precious treasure in the entire ninja world?
Kusuo's words had thoroughly whetted their appetite. In an instant, the curiosity and attention of the three girls were magnified countless times. Could it be jewelry? Or silk? A girl's thoughts were very simple. Having been protected so well by Kusuo for so many years, they hadn't excessively experienced the cruel struggles of the outside world. Therefore, the first thing they thought of was still accessories.
Although Shion wasn't thinking along these lines, she also couldn't guess what it was.
"Big brother, stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us!" Hanabi came up and hugged his arm, acting spoiled. Her voice was sweet and glutinous. Kusuo instantly felt a current pass through his entire body. This嗲嗲 (diēdiē) - sweet/coquettish - tone... who taught her that?
He looked questioningly at the innocent Hinata and Shion. After finding nothing abnormal, he could only helplessly cover his forehead. Alright. The little sister-in-law had learned it on her own; it was a talent unique to girls. Without realizing it, the little sister-in-law had also grown up.
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense anymore." Composing himself, Kusuo let out a long breath. He slowly took out a cylindrical, transparent glass container from his clothes.
"Ah!" Hanabi, who was hugging his arm, was the closest. The moment she saw what was inside the glass container, she was startled. "What is this? A pair of eyes?"
Hinata also spoke with confusion. She looked at Shion beside her and found that she was also shaking her head, not understanding why Kusuo had suddenly taken this out.
At this moment, Kusuo spoke in a gentle voice, "These eyes are called the Rinnegan. They are something that only the legendary Sage of Six Paths possessed."
Rinnegan? The Sage of Six Paths?!
Instantly, the hearts of the three girls trembled violently. Hinata and Hanabi, being from the Hyuga clan, a great family of dojutsu Kekkei Genkai, had read various ancient texts and legends and had some understanding. They had a vague, half-baked concept of the Rinnegan. But Kusuo had also mentioned the Sage of Six Paths.
A god-level figure like that... who in the entire ninja world didn't know of him? It was said that it was because of the Sage of Six Paths that ninjas had flourished. And now, a treasure that belonged exclusively to the Sage of Six Paths, and it was a pair of eyes... could it be... that this was the dojutsu of the Sage of Six Paths?
Sensing the girls' surprise, Kusuo was not surprised. Since the outside was protected by Shion's barrier, he wasn't worried at all. Instead, he calmly drank a cup of tea.
"That's right. You didn't hear wrong. This is the dojutsu of the Sage of Six Paths. In terms of power, it is far above the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan. To compare the two, it would not be an exaggeration to say it is like a firefly to the bright moon."
Kusuo did not mention that above the Mangekyo Sharingan, there was also the Eternal Mangekyo. Firstly, there was no need. Secondly, even if he did, it would take effort to explain. It was better to just directly compare it with the Mangekyo that the world was most familiar with.
Instantly, Hinata and Hanabi were shocked. Completely shocked. Their little heads were buzzing.
At this moment, they suddenly remembered what Kusuo had said when he first formally came to the Hyuga clan. In the ninja world, there were two supreme eyes: one called the Rinnegan, and one called the Tenseigan. At that time, Kusuo had even said that sooner or later, he would give her the Tenseigan...
Hinata looked at the pair of bewitching, enchanting, light purple Rinnegan, her chest heaving up and down. Now, Kusuo had brought the Rinnegan...
"Kusuo, what are you going to do with these eyes?"
Hinata didn't ask how he had obtained these eyes, what methods he had used, or what the consequences would be. She looked at him with a burning gaze, her eyes filled with a fiery passion.
That's right! Kusuo also gripped the girl's soft hand. He had long since seen the desire to become stronger hidden in Hinata's heart. She had started practicing the breathing method a year or two early, yet she had been surpassed by her more talented younger sister, Hanabi. And at the same age, Shion possessed the combat power of a perfect Jinchuriki at the Kage level.
Compared to the two of them, Hinata's heart had always been filled with bitterness and desire. She longed to become stronger. She wanted to help Kusuo, to work hard to keep up with his footsteps. This did not conflict with her own wish to be a housewife. Kusuo's excellence had deeply ignited the heart in Hinata's chest that had always longed to become stronger.
