Chapter 126 Parting on Unhappily
Shenyue Xingyun shook her head, intending to refuse.
Just then, Hyuga Kaede suddenly pulled him back.
"Um, Miss Linzi."
"Nebula is my friend, and she's quite strong."
"I brought him here to ask if it would be possible to let him join your guard."
As Hyuga Kaede spoke, she tried to put on a smile.
However, Hinata Rinko chuckled softly.
"Join my guard?"
"Hyuga Kaede, you need to know your place."
"Do you need to worry about my guards?!"
Hyuga Kaede's expression froze for a moment, and just then, Hyuga Rinko suddenly changed her tone.
"However—the matter of the guard isn't something we can't discuss. Nebula, come sit with me, let's talk about you joining the guard."
Shingetsu Seiun pressed down on Hinata Kaede's shoulder, silencing her before she could say anything, and shook his head at Hinata Rinko.
"No need."
"No need?" Hinata Rinko raised an eyebrow. This gesture might be pleasing to the eye if a beautiful woman did it, but when she did it, it only revealed an air of arrogance.
"Have you thought it through?"
"If you want to join the Hyuga Guard, a branch family member's word doesn't count. I have to give my approval."
"Think it over again, I'll give you a chance to back out."
As Hinata Rinko spoke, her gaze towards Shinzuki Seiun grew even more fervent.
Whether Shingetsu Seiun and Hinata Kaede are related or not, she doesn't care. Or rather—if they are related, that would be even better.
She's just a family member who's splitting up; why does she get to eat better than her?!
She is the truly noble head of the family.
No matter how good something is, if she sets her sights on it, it can only be hers.
Faced with her increasingly impolite gaze, Shingetsu Nebula finally lost her patience.
He spoke politely.
"Miss Linzi."
"You're dreaming."
Hinata Rinko:
Shingetsu Seiun continued, "Just a main branch of the Hyuga clan. If I didn't have eyes, I would have thought the Hyuga Tenjin had crawled out. Such a big mouth."
"Everyone in the village says the Uchiha are arrogant and domineering, but now I see the Hyuga clan isn't far behind—what, are you envious of the Uchiha's reputation and want to surpass them?"
Hinata Rinko's eyes widened; the barrage of attacks from Shingetsu Seiun almost left her reeling.
She was completely unprepared.
Shingetsu Seiun stopped looking at her, turned to look at Hyuga Kaede beside him, and said in a feigned scolding tone, "Don't give me this kind of unreliable job next time."
"I'm not so desperate that I have to rely on women to survive."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching him leave, Hinata Rinko grew anxious. She stepped forward and shouted, "Are you sure?"
"When war breaks out, Hyuga is the safest place!"
Shenyue Xingyun didn't turn around, but simply waved her hand: "Then you just live your life quietly, you don't need to shout so that everyone can hear you."
Shingetsu Seiun didn't take the unpleasant incident at the Hinata gathering to heart.
Back in his tent, ignoring Asuma Sarutobi's teasing gaze and Kurenai Yuhi's stare, he looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was quietly practicing hand seals to the side.
He had been either fighting against Iwagakure or Hyuga Kaede, and hadn't had any free time. Now that he finally had some free time, he remembered Mikoto's binding mission.
[Bound Target: Uchiha Mikoto (Copy - Uchiha Fugaku)]
[Current Task: Succession in an Orderly Manner (Your team leader, a Jonin, is deeply concerned about the education of the children. Please guide Uchiha Itachi to ensure his healthy development up to the age of enrollment.)]
[Task Timeframe: Three Years]
[Mission Reward (Choose one): Susanoo First Form Lv3, Noble Phantasm: Yata Mirror, "Healing and Eye-Nourishing Technique".]
"Grow up healthily," Shen Yue Xingyun silently prayed.
What does the system mean by "healthy growth"?
Does it refer only to physical health?
If it's just about physical health, then it's clear that he only needs to ensure the little one doesn't die during World War III.
However, if the "health" the system refers to includes not only physical health but also mental health, then it becomes more complicated.
It's unreasonable to expect a child to be mentally healthy on the battlefield.
Seemingly sensing Shingetsu Seiun's gaze, Uchiha Itachi stopped his hand seal practice, looked up, and asked:
Brother Nebula.
"Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing," Shenyue Xingyun shook her head.
"I'm thinking about giving you a lesson."
"Class?" Itachi Uchiha asked, his eyes filled with confusion. "What kind of class?"
"Brother Xingyun, will you guide me in my cultivation?"
"No," Shenyue Xingyun denied. "What are you talking about, a child? Cultivating?"
"Put your hand down right now!"
"From today onwards, go to bed early and get up early. No staying up late, and no refining chakra. Do you understand?"
Uchiha Itachi: "?"
Ignoring the bewildered Uchiha Itachi, Shingetsu Seiun gently rubbed the fine hairs on his chin while pondering silently.
Healthy mindset.
If we want a healthy mind, we must arrange ideological education. We must never, ever let the Will of Fire poison the young mind of Uchiha Itachi.
However, ideological education cannot be done overnight.
It should be done in moderation, scientifically, and according to the child's developmental stage, while also being careful not to cross any red lines.
It's such a hassle just thinking about it.
Suddenly, he looked at Sarutobi Asuma, who was sharpening his knife to the side.
"Asuma, besides the Will of Fire, have you studied any other ideologies?"
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback: "Nebula, why are you asking this?"
Shen Yuexingyun said, "Itachi has reached the age where ideological education should be emphasized, and I think it would be best to teach him something new."
"This way, when the three generations teach the Will of Fire, he will be able to recognize the superiority of the Will of Fire."
Sarutobi Asuma didn't quite understand the logic behind the Shingetsu Nebula.
However, when it comes to ideas other than the Will of Fire, they are exactly what he wants.
He said with some excitement, "You really don't know."
"Nebula, I've recently learned a bit about jade. Do you know what jade is?"
Many images flashed through Shen Yuexingyun's mind, and he nodded: "—I understand some."
"But what we understand may not be the same thing."
"Asuma, don't tell me. Just explain your understanding of 'jade' to Itachi in detail. Consider it a favor."
Sarutobi Asuma replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."
He turned to the bewildered Uchiha Itachi beside him and gave him a mysterious smile: "Itachi."
"Do you know what 'jade' means in the Land of Fire?"
Looking at the thick-rimmed face in front of him, Itachi Uchiha wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of hurting the other person's feelings, so he just shook his head.
Sarutobi Asuma, completely oblivious, launched into a long explanation of his understanding: "Speaking of this 'Jade,' in the Land of Fire, theoretically there is only one person, and that is ours—"
