Even he, as the clan head, had no method to undo the Caged Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once engraved, there was no way to remove it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hyuga clan was not afraid of others researching the Caged Bird seal, because in nearly a thousand years, no one had ever broken it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the wisdom of their ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Aoba nod slightly, Hyuga Hiashi asked again, \"Aoba, can you tell me why you want to study the Caged Bird?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Aoba had no reason to want to undo the Caged Bird. The Hyuga member he had the most contact with was only Hyuga Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It can't be that he has fallen for Natsu, right...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Hiashi's eyes turned sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to understand something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba naturally had no idea what his father-in-law was thinking, and explained, \"I just had a sudden idea. Maybe I can get some inspiration from the Caged Bird technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That can count as a reason…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Hiashi's mouth twitched, \"Since that's the case, I'll find a clan member to cooperate with your research, maybe…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about just letting Natsu do it?\", Aoba interrupted the name Hyuga Hiashi was about to say before he could speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn! Damn! Damn!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyuga Hiashi silently said \"damn\" three times in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already understood everything. The hidden dagger was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After building up so long, he thought Aoba really cared about the Hyuga clan, 'So this is the real purpose?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After almost running off with both his daughters, now he wouldn't even let his maid go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would he target next? He didn't even dare to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Hyuga Hiashi, who suddenly fell silent with a somewhat twisted expression, Aoba felt like he might've misunderstood something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, maybe it wasn't really a misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew—\", Hyuga Hiashi let out a long sigh, suppressed his emotions, and forced a straight face, \"I'll talk to Natsu about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then thank you very much, Uncle Hiashi. As for the timing, how about starting after the Chunin Exams are over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Hyuga Hiashi agreed with a fake smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, don't tell Hinata and the others about our conversation. Also, don't let others know you intend to study the Caged Bird,\" In the end, Hyuga Hiashi still gave a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Aoba's identity was rather sensitive. Considering how much Tsunade valued him, his actions often represented Tsunade herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand,\" Aoba was fully aware, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to speak with Hyuga Hiashi alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba also got up and went to the study door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the door slid open, a little \"kitten\" collapsed onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba-nii,\" Hyuga Hanabi, caught eavesdropping, blinked her big watery eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Trying to get by with cuteness?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba didn't say anything, just smiled and pinched her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, stay for lunch,\" Seeing they had finished talking, Hyuga Ayako invited Aoba to stay for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Aoba gladly accepted the invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the time that followed, he gave Hanabi some guidance on her training. She was his disciple after all, he couldn't just not teach her anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, what Aoba could teach Hanabi were only some monstrous strength techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medical ninjutsu, unless she wanted to become a medical ninja, it was too early to learn now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle Fist combined with monstrous strength might actually be pretty promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since their conversation ended, he kept feeling like Hiashi's gaze on him was a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full of wariness and suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first he thought it was because of Hinata and Hanabi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during lunch, when Ayako was about to serve him food and got intercepted by Hiashi, Aoba realized where the problem lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure Hiashi misunderstood something. But such things were hard to explain, so he just decided to sneak away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, the sky outside had cleared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba said goodbye to Hinata and Hanabi and headed back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't walked far…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shizune-neesan, are you waiting here especially for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Shizune in a green dress standing before him, Aoba teased her lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune seemed too embarrassed to raise her head, and nodded with her head lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just found out from Tsunade about what Yugao and he did every night. And thought of the task Tsunade-sama had given her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune now couldn't bring herself to look Aoba in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aggrieved, ashamed, angry, yet expectant emotions filled her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reaction made Aoba even more curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked up to her and waved his hand in front of her face, \"Shizune-neesan, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune snapped back immediately and quickly replied, \"Ah… I'm fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her appearance made Aoba even more curious, \"Shizune-neesan, are you looking for me for something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh… Tsunade-sama just gave me a half-day off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That answer had nothing to do with the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba pondered silently. Looking at the unfamiliar dress she wore and her shy demeanor, he probably figured out her intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This dress looks really nice, Shizune-neesan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R-Really?\", Shizune lifted her head, her eyes full of joy from being complimented, \"It's my first time wearing this kind of dress. I didn't know how it would look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a bit too pretty,\" Aoba praised again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that exaggerated…\", Shizune shrank her shoulders shyly and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not exaggerated at all,\" Aoba said, \"But why did Shizune-neesan suddenly decide to change clothes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Because of Tsunade-sama's mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\", Aoba's eyes widened, 'That sounds kind of wild.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what's the mission Sensei gave you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune just blinked and didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently not a serious mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you had lunch?\", Aoba changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet, I was just out picking clothes,\" Shizune shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's fill your belly first.\" [T\u002FN: 😅]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Aoba, you've probably already eaten, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine. If I'm with Shizune-neesan, eating another meal is no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't do. Eating too much in one meal is bad for your health.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Then I'll just watch you eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…That works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba and Shizune walked side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hand holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba felt like Shizune today was really easy to tease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like she used to be a big bad wolf, and now she'd become a little lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and held her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune didn't resist, and even adjusted her grip to interlock fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her shy eyes held a hint of urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had raised Aoba all these years. Why was it that Yugao already did those things with him, and she still had to rely on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also wanted to go a step further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FAmbitiousTranslator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🥳Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.🥰 You can access upto 20 advance chapter through Patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-10T07:06:04.240Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4e4601e167d26519f1cc53cdd3b4d523e812ae1e8a8cb4e2d6b8ec5e6456790","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-225","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-223",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
