At the very least, Hinata would never become the so-called Crown Princess.
The woman Uchiha Ren had chosen was not someone another man could touch.
As for Naruto?
He could stay far away.
"Lord Fifth Hokage, we'll work hard."
"Yes. We won't disappoint you."
Once they made up their minds, Hinata and Hanabi exchanged a glance. Determination shone in both pairs of pale eyes.
There was nothing more to say.
Since Lord Fifth Hokage valued them this much, they would give everything they had.
They would not let Uchiha Ren down.
"Good. Very good."
Before Ren could even speak, Hiashi was already smiling with relief.
As expected of his daughters.
They understood immediately.
"Fine."
Ren nodded casually.
"Prepare yourselves. I won't only awaken your Tenseigan. I'll also give you the Ōtsutsuki Clan's immortal body."
There was no helping it.
Hinata and Hanabi were still too young.
If he forced their Byakugan to evolve into Tenseigan without strengthening their bodies first, their chakra would be drained dry in an instant.
At that point, forget using the Tenseigan.
Their eyesight might even be damaged.
So while awakening their Tenseigan, Ren planned to activate their immortal bodies as well.
With his current strength, doing that was not difficult.
"Immortal body?"
The moment those words fell, Hiashi, who had barely calmed down, shot to his feet again.
He looked at Ren as if he were staring at a living god.
This happiness had arrived far too suddenly.
At first, Hiashi had thought that having the Fifth Hokage awaken the Tenseigan for his two daughters was already a once-in-a-thousand-years blessing for the Hyūga Clan.
But now—
there was more?
"Lord Fifth Hokage, can Hinata and Hanabi truly awaken immortal bodies?"
Hiashi asked carefully.
"No one in the Hyūga Clan has ever awakened one before. In the shinobi world, immortal bodies have always been associated with the Senju and Uzumaki clans."
"Relax. They can."
Ren shrugged calmly.
"After the Fourth Great Ninja War ends, I'll find a way to let both the Hyūga and Uchiha clans awaken immortal bodies as well."
Bang!
Hiashi staggered backward and knocked into his chair.
Shock.
Utter shock.
Even he had never imagined that Ren planned to let the Hyūga and Uchiha clans awaken immortal bodies.
That was terrifying.
This was the legendary immortal body.
Why had the Senju and Uzumaki clans once been so powerful?
Because of the immortal body.
If the Hyūga and Uchiha clans also gained it, and then combined it with the Byakugan and Sharingan…
just imagining it was enough to make Hiashi's blood boil.
Ren only smiled faintly.
In truth, as descendants of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, both the Hyūga and Uchiha had the potential to awaken immortal bodies.
However, because their bloodlines had manifested as the Byakugan and Sharingan, that potential had never awakened naturally.
With Ren's current strength, solving that problem was easy.
It was only the immortal body.
Helping the Hyūga and Uchiha awaken it was no trouble at all.
"Ah…"
"We can even have immortal bodies?"
Hinata and Hanabi felt as if they were dreaming.
First, they were going to receive the Tenseigan.
Now, they would also gain the legendary immortal body.
Was Lord Fifth Hokage truly this powerful?
"Enough. Let's begin."
Ren looked at the two sisters.
"In a moment, a force will enter your bodies. Don't resist it. Just let it flow naturally."
"Yes."
"Don't worry, Lord Fifth Hokage."
Hinata and Hanabi suppressed their excitement and nodded without hesitation.
"Good."
The next moment, without warning, Ren raised both hands and placed them on Hinata and Hanabi's heads.
Hiashi watched with wide eyes.
Buzz!
Two terrifying waves of energy spread out and surged into their bodies.
"This feeling…"
"It feels… so warm."
Hinata and Hanabi cried out softly.
The energy entering them was not painful.
Instead, it awakened their cells, nourished their chakra, and flowed directly into their Byakugan.
One second.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Time passed quietly.
Finally, after half an hour, terrifying chakra erupted from Hinata and Hanabi at the same time.
Their pale Byakugan gradually transformed into a brilliant sky-blue.
Without question—
these were the legendary Tenseigan.
But that was only the beginning.
After their Byakugan evolved, their bodies continued to transform.
Their chakra grew stronger and denser with every breath.
Boom!
Two powerful chakra waves burst outward.
Their immortal bodies had awakened as well.
"Gulp…"
Hiashi swallowed hard.
His mind had only one thought left.
The Tenseigan and immortal body…
were awakened just like that?
It looked far too easy.
Ren had merely raised his hands, and both Hinata and Hanabi's Byakugan had evolved into Tenseigan.
Even their immortal bodies had awakened successfully.
This was nothing short of a miracle.
"So strong…"
"So this is the Tenseigan?"
Hinata and Hanabi stood there in a daze.
Neither had expected the process to be so simple.
There had been no pain at all.
If anything, it had felt comfortable.
"Lord Fifth Hokage…"
After a while, Hinata finally reacted and spoke carefully.
"I feel much stronger. The Tenseigan and immortal body really are a perfect match."
"Hahaha!"
Hanabi's eyes sparkled. She planted her hands on her hips and laughed.
"I feel like I could defeat an elite jōnin with one look."
Hiashi immediately snorted and glared at her.
This youngest daughter of his really gave him no peace.
It was fine to become stronger.
But did she have to say it so proudly?
Even he, her father, felt a little jealous.
After all, both of his daughters now had the Tenseigan and immortal bodies.
Meanwhile, he still only had an ordinary pair of Byakugan.
How could he not feel a little sour?
Of course, Hiashi quickly recovered.
Hinata and Hanabi were his daughters.
The stronger they became, the prouder he would be.
