Laboratory.
"Long ti no see!"
Renya carried two food boxes into the laboratory, with Hyūga Muki following behind him.
"You brat, where have you been these past two days—"
Senju Tobirama turned his head irritably. Just as he was about to lecture him, he saw Hyūga Muki behind him, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Hyūga... Muki!
He had just sensed a familiar chakra around Renya but couldn’t recall who it was.
He hadn’t expected it to be Hyūga Muki, who had disappeared from the battlefield.
So Hyūga Muki wasn’t dead after all!
Who knows where Renya managed to abduct him from?
"Do you recognize him?"
Renya set the food boxes on the table and leaned close to Senju Tobirama’s ear.
"I abducted him back from the moon..."
Senju Tobirama’s pupils suddenly constricted. There was a trendous amount of information hidden in that sentence!
Abducted from the moon...
That ant this brat was an alien!
What was the reason for bringing him here?
"Lord Hokage."
Hyūga Muki spoke respectfully.
"Mm, you’re back."
Senju Tobirama replied calmly, though a trace of excitent flashed through his eyes.
An alien!
He had lived this long and never studied an alien before.
Beside him, Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips, a similar thrill appearing in his snake-like pupils.
For a research fanatic, what could be more exciting than studying an alien?
The reason Renya brought Muki here was precisely so Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru could study him.
Who knows—perhaps they could cultivate a pair of Tenseigan using Muki’s blood.
At that mont, Hyūga Muki keenly caught the excitent on their faces.
He suddenly had a bad premonition...
Renya wouldn’t have tricked him here with ulterior motives, would he?
"Renya-kun..."
He called out weakly, trying to awaken whatever conscience Renya might still possess—if he even had such a thing...
"It’s fine. I’ve personally verified there’s no danger."
Renya grinned at his good friend and comforted him softly.
But in Hyūga Muki’s eyes, that smile looked like a perverted uncle about to lure a little girl away. The more he looked at it, the more terrifying it seed.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but once you entered a laboratory, how could it be so easy to walk out?
"Relax, it’s fine. Uncle and Orochimaru will be gentle. It’ll be over in a flash. Co on, just lie down first... It won’t do you any harm..."
And just like that, under Renya’s coaxing and deception, Hyūga Muki lay uneasily on the experint table, his hands subconsciously clutching his pant legs.
"Renya-kun, I trust you..."
Seeing the little white mou—no, Hyūga Muki lying there, Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru imdiately began carefully examining his body.
This was an alien body, after all. They had to thoroughly inspect what was different about it.
Only Hyūga Muki lay on the experint table in unease, glancing nervously at Renya not far away from ti to ti.
There seed to be a hint of resentnt in his eyes...
He had co all the way from the moon to the shinobi world, and before he even had the chance to enjoy life, he was dragged into a laboratory to be a little white mouse.
He hadn’t expected that after so many years apart, Renya-kun had turned into a human trafficker.
Oh well, as long as it didn’t harm him.
...
Late at night, Hyūga Muki left the laboratory supported by Renya, while Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru continued their research earnestly.
"Are you alright?"
Renya looked at his friend’s pale face and asked sowhat guiltily.
Hyūga Muki didn’t speak. He simply looked at him with his Byakugan.
Do you not know whether I’m alright?
Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru had constantly studied his body and even drawn several tubes of blood from his arm.
Renya pretended not to notice Muki’s gaze and awkwardly scratched his head.
"Co to my house tomorrow at noon. I’ll cook for you myself."
After doing sothing he felt guilty about to his good friend, he had to offer so compensation.
Earlier, he noticed that when Hyūga Muki saw Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru eating, he kept swallowing on the experint table.
That’s when he knew this guy was craving his cooking—he just didn’t say it out of pride.
Thinking about it carefully, the King of Smug hadn’t eaten his cooking many tis.
Hyūga Muki’s face flashed with anticipation at those words. He nodded slightly.
"No problem."
Although he had been a little white mouse for the entire afternoon, he would finally get to eat Renya’s delicious cooking.
This guy was not only powerful but also an excellent cook.
It was just a pity he still hadn’t gotten married.
Who knew which young girl would benefit from him in the future...
But based on his understanding of Renya, he probably wouldn’t get married in this lifeti.
As for the reason...
It was probably because he wasn’t interested in won.
Unconsciously, the image of Shimura Danzō appeared in Hyūga Muki’s mind. Even after so many years, Danzō was still unmarried.
There must be so unknown secret between those two!
"King of Smug, what kind of look is that?!"
Renya noticed sothing strange in the way the King of Smug was looking at him. He seed to have seen that kind of look sowhere before.
It felt like Koharu Utatane had shown a similar expression back then.
"It’s nothing."
Hyūga Muki gently broke free from Renya’s supporting hand.
"I’ll co tomorrow at noon. Rember to prepare the al."
With that, he hurried off sowhat guiltily, afraid Renya would continue pressing him for the reason.
After leaving Renya, Hyūga Muki touched his slightly reddened cheeks and murmured softly,
"Hyūga Muki, what are you thinking..."
It seed that after returning to his clan, he really should start considering marriage.
He wasn’t like Renya and Danzō—he wasn’t uninterested in won.
Previously, it was only because of the branch family situation that he never considered marriage.
Now that Renya had resolved the branch family issue, it was definitely ti to discuss marriage.
Besides, he was the head of the Ōtsutsuki clan’s main family. So many branch family mbers had died—he naturally had to expand the family and strengthen the clan...
He couldn’t possibly be like soone who would remain unmarried for life just because he claid to have no interest in won, right?
"What’s with that guy acting so strange?"
Renya looked at Hyūga Muki’s flustered retreating figure and couldn’t help muttering.
Could it be that when Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru were doing experints, they accidentally poked his brain with a needle?!
It seed necessary to remind them to pay attention to safety during experints.
Otherwise, if they turned the King of Smug into an idiot, how would he explain it to the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon?
Seeing that it was getting late, Renya stopped dwelling on the matter and returned ho.
As his figure disappeared, a mass of black shadow erged from the darkness.
"I didn’t expect Hyūga Muki to be Hamura’s descendant..."
Black Zetsu’s eyes flickered.
It seed he needed to find an opportunity to stir up so trouble on the moon.
He had already ruined Hagoromo’s descendants—naturally, he wouldn’t spare Hamura’s descendants either.
After all, it was precisely because of those two unfilial sons that Mother had been sealed on the moon for thousands of years.
As Kaguya’s most loyal son, he would certainly avenge Mother.
If he couldn’t kill Hagoromo and Hamura, couldn’t he kill their descendants?
"Ōtsutsuki Muki... heh..."
Sharing the sa surna as Mother—did he deserve it?
