The Hyuga Clan branch family Ninja quickly returned to the clan, and soon applied and successfully met the current Hyuga Clan Head, Hyuga Hiashi, one of the two great Pupil Technique clans on par with the Uchiha.
“Kurasuke, what do you need me for?” Sitting on a mat, Hyuga Hiashi sat there stiffly, as if his entire life was lived with such rigid adherence to rules.
“Clan Head-sama, this subordinate heard an Uchiha brat talking about the Young Lady at the noodle shop today, and came specifically to report it,” Hyuga Kurasuke replied urgently, kneeling on the ground.
“What is so urgent that you need to find me?” Hyuga Hiashi didn't take it to heart; he also didn't take the Uchiha Clan seriously, as in the eyes of discerning people, that clan was already on the verge of disappearing.
“Today, at the noodle shop, I saw an Uchiha brat eat 50 bowls of noodles. He also said he wasn't the biggest eater in Konoha, that the Young Lady was the biggest eater. Furthermore, he said the Young Lady had the purest bloodline, and usually performed poorly because she didn't eat enough,” Hyuga Kurasuke replied, not moving at all, like a puppet.
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi was startled, and even his perpetually unchanging expression faltered. He called out, “Have Natsu bring Hinata over.” Then he fell silent, thinking that he had always believed his daughter's poor performance was due to lack of talent. Not even knowing this about his own daughter, he truly was a failure as a father. Why would that Uchiha brat deliberately reveal this to him? And was that Uchiha brat's pure bloodline also why he ate so much?
A moment later, Hyuga Natsu brought the timid Hyuga Hinata. Seeing his timid daughter, Hyuga Hiashi's heart was filled with complex emotions. Such a good daughter, who hadn't even eaten enough these past years, causing her Byakugan's evolution to be delayed. Their clan knew the power of Hyuga Ichizoku. Hyuga Hiashi extended his hand, gesturing for Hinata to come closer.
“Father, did you call me for something?” Hinata asked in a soft, gentle voice, her small, bowl-cut hair making her look adorable.
Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi's heart softened as he asked, “Hinata, do you usually not eat enough?”
“Just a little,” Hinata replied weakly. “Natsu, have the kitchen prepare 50 servings of food,” Hyuga Hiashi said to Hyuga Natsu, his voice slightly louder than before, not addressing little Hinata.
A moment later, Hyuga Hiashi, watching his daughter finish 50 servings of food, felt both satisfied and sad, yet he couldn't help but feel indebted to that Uchiha brat.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Kurasuke and asked, “What is that Uchiha brat's name?”
“To Clan Head-sama, that Uchiha brat is named Uchiha Lan Luo,” Hyuga Kurasuke replied with a bow.
“Tokuma, have the clan investigate Uchiha Lan Luo and provide me with a report,” Hyuga Hiashi said into the empty space.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after Uchiha Lan Luo sent Izumi home, he returned to his own house and took out the Transcription Seal and Uchiha Fire Formation scrolls he had just acquired today. One could only say that the inventors of these two Ninjutsu were geniuses. In the original story, Itachi used the Transcription Seal to seal Amaterasu into Sasuke's eyes, a Ninjutsu that would automatically activate when Sasuke saw Obito. This, taken a step further, is the fusion of two Sharingan, adding one person's Pupil Power to another's.
The Fire Formation Seal is an Uchiha Barrier Ninjutsu, slightly weaker than the Four Violet Flames Formation, let alone the stronger Four Red Yang Formation, which is a Barrier Ninjutsu capable of holding back the Ten-Tails.
However, this can fill the gap in this area. Sealing Technique must also be obtained, but it is too difficult right now. The Uchiha don't seem to understand it. For thousands of years, they have possessed naturally powerful Yin Release, and should be considered geniuses in all aspects, yet they only know how to fight, judging superiority by their eyes. They have never produced a scientist. Their powerful Yin Release should make them very intelligent, yet they are constantly being brainwashed.
Lan Luo thought about what he needed to do now: first, contact Tsunade. After all, Tsunade was too valuable: Sealing Technique, the sealed location of Uchiha Hikari, and later taking over the Fifth Hokage position after the scandal. Finally, as the last Senju, how could she not leave behind a bloodline! Also, he needed to contact Kurama Yakumo. She should be home from school by now, not feeling well, and the Idou in her consciousness should be about to emerge. She hasn't killed her parents yet. Thinking about it, he fell asleep.
The next day, as soon as Lan Luo finished breakfast, Izumi arrived. The two went together to the training ground by the Naka River.
Lan Luo took out a black cloth strip, blindfolded himself, and said to Izumi, “Attack me, using any method.”
Izumi, hearing this, felt Lan Luo was being too much. Without a word, he attacked, but his attacks were easily dodged by Lan Luo using Paper Arts.
Seeing that he couldn't hit, Izumi retreated while forming hand signs, saying, “Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.” A four-meter diameter Great Fireball was directly cut open by Lan Luo's Storm Leg. Then, just as he landed, he heard, “Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu.” Lan Luo immediately used Moonwalk to step into the sky. Izumi was completely stunned, stars in his eyes.
“Izumi, want to learn?” Lan Luo removed the black cloth covering his eyes. “Yes, very much,” Izumi said impatiently. Lan Luo, at this moment, ignored Izumi and looked behind a tree, saying, “How long are you going to hide?”
A white figure slowly walked out from behind the tree; it was none other than Hyuga Hiashi. “Hyuga Clan Head, what brings you to an unknown nobody like me?” Lan Luo had already seen Hyuga Hiashi with his Observation Haki.
“Brat, didn't you make me come?” Hyuga Hiashi wasn't angry, he just thought this kid was a bit thick-skinned, having already noticed him and still letting him watch the Ninjutsu he developed.
Lan Luo already knew Hyuga Hiashi was watching from the side, and deliberately demonstrated a few Rokushiki, after all, his article was about to be distributed throughout the Ninja World, requiring a Byakugan that could see to bear witness. The Uchiha Clan also needed an ally; being too independent in the Ninja World was not a good thing. Only a bond of shared interests was the most reliable. The Konoha F4's low-level interest bond was, 'I eat meat, you get some soup.' Logically, couldn't mine be more advanced than yours?
Thinking of this, Lan Luo said, “Hyuga Clan Head, you should know the predicament of our Uchiha Clan, right?”
“Kid, if you want to discuss this, your Clan Head should talk to me,” Hyuga Hiashi replied with his perpetually unchanging expression.
“So, I'm telling you in advance.” Saying this, Lan Luo activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, used Genjutsu, and pulled both of them into Lan Luo's Genjutsu space.
There was no other way; the Byakugan has the ability to see through Genjutsu, so he could only use the Mangekyo. With the addition of two lifetimes of memories and sharing, he could achieve this kind of Genjutsu space dialogue. The Byakugan was also a bug.
“Hyuga Clan Head, you should know the current situation of our Uchiha Clan. The Konoha higher-ups are about to step down. I hope our two clans can stand together at a critical moment, instead of being destroyed with them. You should also know the actions of the higher-ups over the years,” Lan Luo said.
