Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
A Night Without a Peaceful Moon
After the Evacuation Exercise was over, the celebration continued for the next two hours.time passed and everyone started to get drunk and tired and sleepy… anyone who is tired and drunk and sleepy will just sleep in his chair by leaning his head on the table.
While everyone was distracted or sleeping, Kurenai quietly approached Kuroto, sitting on an empty chair on his left side.
After a while, in silence, he poured Sake into two cups and gave one of the cups to Kuroto, "Captain.let's drink together."
'Squeaky.' Thought Kuroto internally and became alert, but externally she smiled as a tribute and took the cup that Kurenai gave her with her left hand, "Of course."
He quietly analyzed his Sake and Cup, and after making sure it wasn't drugged with any medicine, he took a slight sip in silence, while her right hand gently rubbed Yui's sleeping back on the table.
The reason Kuroto's vigilance is the term Kurenai uses to refer to him. When not in Anbu's duties or training, Kurenai will refer to Kuroto as 'Kuroto-Kun' but the fact that he uses 'Captain' implying that he was talking to her as a subordinate, which was a bit strange considering they were not carrying out Anbu's duties.
Of course, it could also be assumed that Kurenai said so because he was drunk, but Kuroto would never believe it. The reason is also very simple.Among contemporaries of his generation, Kurenai's alcohol tolerance is the highest, he had never even been drunk let alone drunk. This was one of the reasons why Kuroto generally used Kurenai to gather information from the various Izakaya while doing the Anbu missions, so Kurenai also excels at intelligence gathering like Jiraiya.
After a few bottles of Sake in silence, Kurenai lowered his voice, and asked in a relaxed tone, “Captain. I have heard that the Hyuga Clan is divided into the main family and branch family of the Hyuga Clan, and there are not many members in the main family, is that right?”
Kuroto looked at Kurenai with a suspicious look and nodded.
Kurenai then asked in a curious tone, “And do you know them all?”
Kuroto frowned and nodded again.
The main family of the Hyuga Clan consisted of a Patriarch line and several Elders line. The reason for having an extra Elder line was to prevent the collapse of the Hyuga Clan, in case, the Patriarch line disappeared suddenly for a number of reasons. Of course, the line of Elders was a very low key and more than often they would not leave the bottom of the Hyuga Clan or expose themselves to any danger, or there is a distinct possibility that they will be specifically targeted for their Byakugan.
Therefore, very few people outside of the Hyuga Clan were aware of the existence of the line of Elders from the main family of the Hyuga Clan.
Of course, in terms of rules, the line of Elders was no different from the line of Patriarchs, so no matter how many heirs there were in each generation, it was no matter how many heirs, only one person was qualified to be released from being marked with the Cursed Bird Curse Seal to act as an alternative if the Patriarch line disappeared for some reason.
Of course the role of the Elder line was not just as a substitute, one of the rules was that the marriage partners of the Ancestral line always came from the elder line.
In fact, Kuroto's mother was also a member of the Elder line, but as mentioned earlier there was only one exception for each generation… so her mother was also marked with the Cursed Bird Curse Seal and then transferred to the Branch Family after which she married Kuroto's father who was actually her servant and guardian during her days as a member of the Main Family.
By the way, don't be tracked anymore, when it comes to the main family, even if all the members of the main family are counted, he said, the number of people who were not marked with the Cursed Bird Seal would never exceed more than ten, and Kuroto, the, due to his current high status within the Hyuga Clan Branch Family did know all the members of the Main Family.
Receiving a nod of agreement from Kuroto, Kurenai thought a little, then asked with a slight hesitation, "Does anyone in the Hyuga Clan Main family have white hair?"
The hair color of the Hyuga Clan is mostly dark, most people have brown or black hair color like Kuroto or Neji and Yui or Hinata respectively, there are also clans with dark blue hair color, dark green, and deep purple but each of these hair colors had a black tinge on them, but never had the Hyuga Clan had White hair.
So, the fact that Kurenai asked this question from Kuroto clearly shows that he was trying to investigate 'Futen', thinking so, Kuroto thought, 'Huh, so that's the game? He wants to investigate 'Futen' in private? Or did he suspect me of being 'Futen' because of our similar appearance, that's why he didn't report anything about 'Futen' to the village?'
"Nothing?!" Kurenai was astonished, he thought that since there were not many members in the main family of the Hyuga Clan, so it should be easy to identify the 'Futen' with that characteristic trait, but suddenly Kuroto gave him the opposite answer.
Seeing Kurenai's surprised expression, Kuroto narrowed her eyes, slightly, and asked in a slightly curious tone, "Why are you asking?"
Kurenai quickly recovered, and waved his hand casually, "Nothing, I just want to know."
Kuroto narrowed her eyes, and thought in silence, 'It seems that I underestimated her, never did I expect that her mind would be so deep 'My futen as a breakthrough point to investigate Amatsukami huh? '
Kurenai sighed, lightly sipping sake in silence, and thought, 'Futen is strong enough to fight Shodaime Hokage-sama, Nidaime Hokage-sama, and Orochimaru at the same time… he is the strongest Shinobi I have ever seen or known. , how could Kuroto-kun not know about this kind of clan? Or could it be that his whereabouts were kept secret from everyone because he had Shikotsumyaku from the Kaguya Clan? And he left the Hyuga Clan at a very young age.hmm, this must be the case.'
Immediately, Kurenai became a little worried, 'But if that were the case, then I would not be able to find anything about 'Futen' even if I were to search for information about him in the Hyuga Clan!
What's to be done? What's to be done?
Should I give up?
Nah! How could I give up so easily? I have to keep looking for him. As long as we're both alive, our paths will definitely cross again…
Moreover, Kuroto-kun and Futen are very similar in appearance.Maybe they are distant brothers.maybe know something about each other but hesitate to tell the other.'
Thinking so, Kurenai's gaze involuntarily turned to Kuroto's face, and Kuroto who was also thinking of some things related to Kurenai's thinking looked at her, and two pairs of attentive eyes intertwined.
'If I continue to work with Kuroto-kun who is also a member of the Hyuga Clan, sooner or later I will definitely get any news about Futen.' Kurenai thought.
'You want to investigate the information about Amatsukami secretly, huh? Well, as long as you are my subordinate, I will make sure that you truly KNOW NOTHING!!!' kuroto.
The two people who were once again not on the same channel looked at each other with friendly smiles and continued Sake in a peaceful silence.
Just before everyone was about to leave, the slightly drunk Asuma gathered up the courage and asked Kurenai to do the Hot Spring Trip together, but was politely rejected by the wise Kurenai.
Perhaps it was because Hayate had persuaded Asuma before, so he was psychologically prepared to be rejected, and did not feel frustrated by it.
Instead, Kakashi at the side was extremely desperate, he held the Icha Icha Paradise in his hand and continued muttering to himself, “How could this happen?! This is Nirvana! Why failed?”
Seeing these two idiots, Kuroto sighed, but he didn't really care, just cradled the sleeping Yui on her back and slowly walked towards her house towards the Hyuga Clan while enjoying the cold wind that swept over her cheeks and the rustling of her clothes.
“Tonight, is a peaceful moonless night.” Kuroto muttered as she looked at the clear night sky that had no trace of the moon.
