Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Besides the three, the meeting room also contained the two standard elders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, along with Shizune, the Hokage's secretary, and Shikaku Nara, the Hokage's assistant—a total of four people.

"As you requested. The sealing techniques of Konoha, the forbidden techniques of the Chamber..."

"no!"

Before Bai Xing could finish speaking, one of the two elders started causing trouble.

Bai Xing smiled without saying a word, watching Elder Xiao Chun, who had aged considerably in the past twenty years, perform.

Koharu Utatane first looked at Homura Mitokado, making sure they were on the same wavelength, before speaking: "Sealing techniques are a closely guarded secret left behind by the Second Hokage. Even if you come from the past and were once from Konoha, ultimately, you are no longer a ninja of Konoha. I cannot grant Tsunade-hime's request."

“Xiaochun is right. But we can discuss it. For example, you can choose any forbidden technique from among them, and we will give you some information about that forbidden technique. How about that?” Mitomon Homura continued.

The two elders spoke in unison. Bai Xing raised an eyebrow and reached out to Jialuo, who was standing beside him. Jialuo obediently squatted down. Bai Xing patted Jialuo's shoulder and said, "See? People without strength often think they're all that. Don't be like them when you're old."

Carol wore a smile, her tone mocking: "My lord, of course I know. But I fear some people will die without ever understanding."

"You—" Koharu stood up angrily and pointed at Shirahoshi, while Karura's eyes flashed.

She simply pointed subtly in the direction of Koharu Utatane with her left hand, and suddenly, tiny grains of sand, barely visible to the naked eye, appeared beside Koharu Utatane.

The sand particles formed in less than two seconds, then coalesced into a fist, forcefully breaking Koharu Utatane's fingers.

Immediately afterwards, a scream of agony erupted from the high and mighty female elder in the meeting room: "Aaaaaah—"

Karura said calmly, "Who gave you permission to point at the adults? Who do you think you are? Just a mere elder of Konoha."

"You." Another bespectacled, refined-looking man, Mitokado Homura, instinctively raised a finger, but immediately clenched his fist and lowered it in a second. "Don't forget, you're in Konoha Village right now! The entire village is on high alert. If you dare to make a move, you'll be facing the full force of Konoha Village!!"

Ignoring the impotent, furious old man, Shirahoshi looked at Tsunade, who was frowning, and asked, "Fifth Hokage, is this your intention?"

To be honest, Tsunade in this world didn't have much to do with him. She only had a slight connection with Nawaki, and he only gave her Sage Mode because of Nawaki.

But that doesn't mean he'll give her any special treatment.

"Of course not. Jingyin, see the two elders out, and while you're at it, take Elder Xiaochun to the hospital for treatment."

"Yes!"

"Elders, please."

Tsunade gave Shizune an order, and Shizune did as she was told.

This action left the two elders speechless with frustration.

"We're doing this all for Konoha!" Koharu Utatane said, enduring the pain, before leaving.

"For the sake of Konoha, you two elders should retire as soon as possible. You're rambling on and on without understanding the specifics. With your failing eyesight, you'd be better off dying sooner rather than later, so you don't have to live off Konoha's pensions."

"You, you, you—" Mitokado Yan, who was standing next to Shirahoshi, almost had a heart attack from Shirahoshi's words and kept clutching his chest.

Jingyin quickly pulled the two elders out. What would happen if a fight broke out and two of her own elders died before the battle even started?

The door closed, and the conference room finally fell silent.

Shikaku wiped his sweat. He hadn't dared to speak, unable to fathom Shirahoshi's thoughts. In his opinion, giving her the sealing techniques and forbidden techniques information wouldn't hurt; in fact, it would only benefit her.

After all... Shirahoshi isn't from this future world, and the people she's harming are from the past.

"Now, let me add one more condition."

With a smile, Bai Xing said, "Besides the sealing techniques and forbidden techniques information you mentioned before, I need one more person."

Tsunade frowned, thinking she knew who Shirahoshi wanted: "Yugao, is that right? Take her away. I can't break her genjutsu. Right now, she only has you on her mind."

"..."

Shirahoshi remained silent for a long while before waving his hand and saying, "This person doesn't need to be discussed with you. I'm talking about the Hyuga clan."

"Hyuga Hanabi".

"That's impossible!" Nara Shikaku exclaimed immediately. The Hyuga clan could never agree to something like this, because Hyuga Hanabi was the heir to the Hyuga clan. "Shirahoshi, you can have whatever conditions you want, but this person belongs to the Hyuga clan..."

"An heir, huh? What's the point of having such a weak heir? Why not give her to me, let me complete my... cough cough... my training. Perhaps she'll become even stronger." Bai Xing smiled as she looked at Lu Jiu, saying this.

"Hokage-sama, I urge you to consider this carefully." Shikaku knew that Tsunade didn't have the authority to agree to this, but he was afraid that if Tsunade made the request, it would cause internal strife within Konoha.

Tsunade did not disappoint Shikaku; she stated directly, "Do you think I have the authority to make the Hyuga clan hand over their heir to you?"

Shirahoshi sighed: "Of course I know you don't have one~ But I have a way to get Hanabi to come with me, and you can't stop me. Neither can the ninjas of Konoha. How about it?"

Shirahoshi patted her shoulders, and Karura nodded, walking behind her and gently massaging her. Shirahoshi then said again, "I just don't want to kill too much. After all, I'm a kind person. Killing isn't my hobby."

Looking at Shirahoshi's nonchalant face, Shikaku thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second," but on the surface, he exchanged glances with Tsunade and finally agreed to Shirahoshi's condition.

......

The meeting concluded successfully, and Shirahoshi no longer needed the original sealing technique. She simply had Garura take out the high-definition camera specially made by Loulan to photograph all the information and collect it.

Sometimes Shirahoshi doesn't understand why, in the Naruto world, such a convenient thing as a camera isn't developed to lower the price of materials used to make cameras, making it easier and faster for all ninjas to gather information.

But now, he has become the first person to use a camera to collect information.

The Hyuga family is an ancient clan in Konoha Village.

Shirahoshi had almost never been to this place in the past.

The main issue is that the Hyuga clan doesn't receive many D-rank missions. If they do, the other party usually assigns the task to their own clan members. Furthermore, while the Hyuga clan appears outwardly friendly, they are actually quite similar to the Uchiha clan, exhibiting a degree of xenophobia.

This is the arrogant attitude that large clans, who consider themselves elder ninja clans, put on, and it's very difficult for them to let go of it.

Just as Shirahoshi was about to step into the Hyuga clan's territory, two young men with wide-eyed stares suddenly appeared in front of her. The headbands on their heads and the clan crests on their clothes were enough to prove that the two were Hyuga clan ninjas.

"This is the Hyuga clan's territory, and it's private property. Sir, if you're a tourist from the village, please leave." Hyuga Himon looked at the man and woman in front of him. Although he already knew their information, this was Hyuga clan territory, and he couldn't let them enter.

"A ninja from the Hyuga clan, huh? My name is Shirahoshi. I'm an ally of Konoha Village for the upcoming Fourth Shinobi World War, not a tourist." Shirahoshi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Himon frowned, his eyes becoming even more wary, and he subconsciously assumed a fighting stance, saying, "Then I'm even more sorry. Please leave."

Karura frowned and took a step forward, but Shirahoshi raised her hand to stop her, glancing at her: "Karuura, we are guests, how can we lay a hand on the host?"

Karura had only taken one step when Hyuga Hinata and the Hyuga ninja beside him suddenly realized that countless visible grains of sand had appeared all around them. If they made a move, they would be the first to be attacked.

"Sunagakure? Magnet Release? The Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast?" These three words immediately came to mind for Hyuga Himon, a Jonin of Konoha.

"My lord, if we don't take action, we might not be able to get in," Garura said casually, his tone showing no regard for the two Hyuga clan ninjas.

"Damn it! Don't look down on the Hyuga clan! We are the strongest clan of ninjas in Konoha!"

"Junya!" Hyuga Hinata was too late to stop Hyuga Junya, a special Jonin from the Hyuga clan standing nearby. Junya's entire body was effectively enhanced with chakra, and he charged forward.

The sand was also slightly dispersed by the opponent's enhanced chakra.

That's right, just a lot.

Karura raised her right hand expressionlessly and gave it a slight squeeze towards the charging Hyuga Junya: "Sandbound Coffin!"

With his Byakugan activated, Junya Hyuga believed he had seen through everything. He turned slightly and said with a smile, "Before my eyes, mere sand can't control me!"

Gentle Fist!

Junya Hyuga displayed the Hyuga clan's Bagua Gentle Fist on the spot, striking away the sand that was rushing in from all directions.

Karura remained expressionless, her right hand raised and slightly clenched.

Time ticked by, and even though Junya Hyuga's Gentle Fist was swift, scattering Karura's relentless attacks, Karura's sand would surge forward again after being dispersed, like an endless wave of sand. Junya Hyuga gradually began to tire, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Seeing this, Hyuga Himon hurriedly shouted to Shirahoshi and Karura, "You two, please stop right now!"

Bai Xing helplessly shrugged, "He angered my little darling, so he has to learn a lesson."

Karura's lips curled up slightly, but then he lowered them again, continuing to manipulate the sand and play with the Hyuga clan's ninjas with an expressionless face.

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Hinata Himon could only rush forward to block the attack for Hinata Junya: "Rotation!"

"boom!"

This time, Sand's offensive seemed to have been completely thwarted, and Hyuga Hido also stopped using the Rotation technique.

But next second.

Hyuga Himon noticed something was wrong. Looking down, he realized that the side where he was standing was covered in sand. He helplessly raised his hands, turned off his Byakugan, and said, "You two, I concede. I'll go inform the clans right away..."

Karura snorted coldly, and the sand beneath their feet instantly transformed into a force, immobilizing the two men on the spot. This left Hyuga Hinata somewhat incredulous, as he had already promised to inform them, yet Karura still attacked: "You, what exactly do you want to do! This is the Hyuga clan's territory!"

"Us?" As he brushed past the two Hyuga, Shirahoshi smiled slightly and looked at Hyuga Himon: "We're just here to ask the Hyuga family for something. We're just the heirs of the Hyuga family."

Upon hearing this, both Hinata Himon and Hinata Jun were immediately stunned, and an image of a long-haired, Byakugan-clad girl flashed through their minds simultaneously...

"Oh no! Their target is Hanabi... The head of the family is in danger!!"

Even though Hyuga Himon knew Shirahoshi's purpose, under Sand's control, he could only shout loudly, trying to pass the information to his clan's ninjas and even passing Konoha villagers, so that they could notify other clans' ninjas or Konoha's ninjas.

After half an hour.

The streets of the Hyuga clan were littered with fallen Hyuga ninjas. Shirahoshi stood in front of the clan head's courtyard in the center of the Hyuga clan and looked up.

The large characters "Hyuga" were displayed above the main gate of the mansion. Shirahoshi estimated that the courtyard alone was about one and a half acres in size.

"Not bad~ As expected of the head of the family's residence, it's really nice~ Karura, do you like this kind of garden?"

As Shirahoshi stepped forward and pushed open the door, she asked Karura beside her.

Carol thought for a moment, shook her head slightly, then nodded and said, "Carol likes anything that the master gives me."

Pushing open the gate, the last defensive force of the Hyuga clan was revealed in the courtyard. Shirahoshi smiled and looked at the group of ninjas, saying, "Why bother, Hyuga clan head? I only need one person."

Wearing a kimono and with a serious expression, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Shirahoshi, then at Karura, and back at Shirahoshi, saying, "Why did you attack the Hyuga clan? We, the Hyuga clan, have never offended you."

Then he remembered something and quickly said, "If the 'me' of the past world offended you, then you should go to the 'me' of the past world, not the 'me' of this world."

Shirahoshi glanced at the second floor of the mansion, where a girl's face was peeking out from a slightly open window. She then looked at Hiashi and said, "Quite the opposite. I not only have no hatred for you from the past world, but I also attended your wedding with Suzuka-san. I just wonder, in this world, will Suzuka-san be your wife?"

"You actually know Suzuka..." Hiashi's eyes narrowed, countless images flashing through his mind in that instant. He closed them and opened them again, looking at Shirahoshi and saying seriously, "If that's the case, you know that Hanabi is Suzuka and my daughter, so why did you forcibly take her away!"

"By force?" Shirahoshi's tone was momentarily surprised. "Lord Hiashi may have misunderstood something. I didn't say I was going to forcibly take Hanabi away. I only said..."

At this point, Shirahoshi looked up at Hyuga Hanabi with a big smile and said, "I just want to take on a disciple, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"..." Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Shirahoshi suspiciously, then looked past Shirahoshi at the fallen Hyuga clansmen outside the mansion and along the way they came: "Just for this? You broke in?"

"Of course not." Shirahoshi waved her hand, gestured with both hands, and finally pointed to herself and Karura next to her: "It was clearly because you people of the Hyuga clan were uncivilized and attacked me directly that I and my little cutie defeated you."
