Chapter 26: The seemingly unchanged timeline
"It's not easy? What's so difficult about surviving in this world?" Hiashi obviously didn't understand what Ryosuke said.
As a member of the Hyuga clan, with such a large number of branch families who have fought bravely to protect it, even during the war, the main family lineage was able to remain intact, let alone in the current peaceful times.
But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and the anger on his face gradually stopped, followed by surprise, and then disbelief.
"What... did you see again?"Hiashi asked in a low voice.
Now that Ryosuke has said this, if he still doesn't understand, then he would be really confused.
Isn't it easy to live in this world?
If someone else said this, it might not have meant so much to Hiashi, but now that this sentence came out of Ryosuke's mouth, it had great weight in Hiashi's heart.
He almost forgot that this boy's eyes could see the future.
Given Ryosuke's current status in the Hyuga clan, he feels that it will be difficult to survive in the future. One can imagine how complicated the crises in this world will be in the future.
But now that the entire ninja world has finally entered a period of peace, is the Fourth Ninja World War about to begin again? So... how long can the current peace last? Just realizing this, doubts in Hiashi's heart emerged one after another.
Given Konoha's status and power in the ninja world, there shouldn't be a force that can threaten Hyuga, right? At least the other four villages haven't done that in their long-standing struggle.
So... who will the enemy be?
Seeing Hiashi's confused expression, Ryosuke smiled again and comforted him, "It's a lot of trouble, but don't worry, father. I'll take care of everything."
"...Can't you reveal anything at all?" Hinata Hiashi asked somewhat unwillingly.
But before Ryosuke could smile and say something, he asked himself again, "I understand. Once you say it out, the future will change, and it will affect your and my judgment."
He is already very skilled in this matter.
Ever since he learned about Ryosuke's Byakugan, he would always talk to Ryosuke whenever there were major events or decisions in the clan, hoping that he could reveal some details about the future.
But unfortunately, every time, Ryosuke used this ability to sometimes work and sometimes not, or he couldn't reveal too much and could only get some obscure answers.
But in the general direction, these vague answers still provided considerable help to Hiashi.
But unfortunately, he didn't know that those suggestions were actually given by Ryosuke based on his own judgment of the actual situation, rather than seeing the so-called future.
"Okay, you guys should go to bed early."
Hiashi gave up asking questions and gave up correcting Ryosuke's dreams and goals.
He didn't understand what Ryosuke was facing, let alone what his family would face in the future.
"Then we'll take our leave first. Father, you should also go to bed early." Ryosuke chuckled, pulled Hinata, who was silently acting as an invisible person beside him, and left the house.
After Hinata completed her physical training ahead of time through her own efforts and began to practice gentle fist, she officially participated in the conversation between Ryosuke and Hyuga Hiashi.
Although I just stood aside silently every time, without saying a word, and listened carefully.
But Ryosuke kept her with him, and Hiashi didn't let her leave.
As the future head of the family, she should learn these and should know these.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Hiashi was silent for a while before sitting back in the chair and closing his eyes.
After calming down, he realized his mistake.
But it's no wonder. It's because Ryosuke's goal is too short-sighted. He doesn't understand the actual situation. His first reaction can only be to feel disappointed in his friend.
But now think about it, in fact, Ryosuke is already too outstanding. Even if his goal is really like that, he is destined to be extraordinary. He has learned everything that should be taught and learned. Whether as a ninja or as a member of the Hyuga clan, he has learned very well.
Now, there is nothing that Hiashi can teach Ryosuke, so he can only give him some guidance in actual combat.
But this progress is rapidly shortening, and every time a battle begins, Ryosuke can give him new surprises.
If it weren't for his physical fitness, chakra amount, and other reasons, Hiashi felt that he might soon be surpassed by Ryosuke.
"Perhaps... it's time to put him in a position to face real combat and killing."
With this thought in mind, Hiashi opened his eyes again and began to deal with the affairs of the clan...
SCENE BREAK
"Then this class ends here. Class is dismissed."
At the ninja school podium, after Iruka announced the end of the class, he shouted to the yellow figure at the end of the row, "Naruto, follow me to the office."
After saying that, he packed up his ninja tool bag and left the classroom.
Sitting next to Ryosuke, Naruto fell limply on the desk after hearing Iruka's words before he left. He said irritably, "Ah... Mr. Iruka must have asked me to recite what he just said in class. Why is he so free?"
However, there was a hint of happiness in his irritable tone.
"It's your fault for not paying attention in class. He wants you to remember the knowledge, so he can only give you special lessons after class. No one else has this opportunity." Ryosuke replied with a chuckle and waved his hand to signal him to hurry up.
Naruto did not delay any longer. After lying down for a while, he jumped up and left the classroom under the disgusted gazes of some people in the class.
A week passed, and studying in the Ninja School was much more boring than Ryosuke had imagined.
However, he was very patient. He had never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before, and it was very new to him.
It's like comparing studying the energy properties of chakra, a very common thing in the ninja world, with becoming a Hokage and the head of a village, which are great things in the ninja world, Ryosuke would choose the former without hesitation.
As long as it is related to the Chakra practice, he can maintain his curiosity and patience for a long time.
As for socializing, since Ryosuke is sitting at the same table with Naruto, he certainly can't just say nothing to him.
Occasionally, they would still exchange a sentence or two, although not much, but after a long time, they gradually became familiar with each other.
This kind of thing is inevitable, but it is also very common and has not attracted anyone's attention.
It is worth mentioning that after the first day of school, Naruto seemed to really follow Ryosuke's advice and went to the Third Hokage to ask something.
He didn't know what had bewitched him, but when he came to school early the next morning, Ryosuke found that his entire personality had changed. He became positive and cheerful, and was determined to become Hokage.
He kept shouting that he wanted everyone in the village to acknowledge his existence.
On the first day of school, Iruka, who had hatred towards Naruto like some people in the village due to a misunderstanding, seemed to be interviewed by the Third Generation and was told part of the truth about Naruto's life experience.
This incident instantly turned Iruka's inner hatred into guilt and sympathy.
This change also made him pay great attention to Naruto. As long as it was his course, he would make sure Naruto truly mastered the knowledge and would not let him slack off at all.
After feeling Iruka's kindness, Naruto slowly accepted him. Although he kept saying he disliked him, he really cherished this attention in his heart.
Nothing seemed to have changed because of the appearance of Ryosuke, as if... everything was proceeding according to the original history.
But with a butterfly like him, how could the timeline be the same as before?
