With the Cleavage Eye, Hinata had completely transformed into a super-hedgehog capable of both offense and defense.
Ryun could even judge that relying solely on the Cleavage Eye and Gentle Fist techniques, Hinata was undoubtedly a peak Kage-level powerhouse.
Her biggest problem at the moment was insufficient speed, but if someone wanted to attack her head-on or break through her defenses, unless they brought a higher level of power to overwhelm her, it was basically impossible.
Of course, that was Hinata in her twenties from the simulation; the current Hinata hadn't reached that level yet.
"Ryun-kun, can I really grow to that extent?"
Hinata's eyes were full of hopeful light. Even though she had always been with Ryun, she had never imagined her own strength could increase to such a degree.
What she had thought about was that, under Ryun's guidance, she and her sister could avoid being branded with the Caged Bird. That was the limit of her past imagination.
"Of course, I promise."
Ryun wiped the sweat from Hinata's forehead. His gentle touch turned into an even warmer affection in her eyes.
"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's go back. I still have another gift for you."
"Okay!"
Returning to the real world, the time had reached midnight. Hinata showed no sign of wanting to leave; it was clear she planned to stay over at Ryun's place.
Ryun even felt that Hiashi Hyūga probably knew Hinata would be spending the night here. He had to admit, at a time like this, his father-in-law Hiashi truly showed considerable resolve.
"Next, I'm going to give you back some of the blessings from the future. Are you ready?"
"Yes... In the future, when we have a child, I'll be twice as good to him!"
Watching Hinata clasp her hands together and make a wish to the ceiling, Ryun was caught between laughter and tears.
After Hinata finished her wish, Ryun began the bloodline feedback process.
[You are about to feedback the bloodline ability of Nojuro Teru to his mother, Hinata Hyūga. Confirm operation?]
Ryun silently affirmed "Yes" in his heart.
[Ding, your favorability level with kunoichi Hinata Hyūga is Level 3: You mutually like each other. You have obtained 3 random enhancement attempts. Maximum random enhancement attempts: 5.]
[Random enhancement in progress... Enhancement complete. Hinata Hyūga's Speed attribute in the Ninja Eight has increased from 6 points to 7 points. Her Hand Seal attribute has increased from 8 points to 9 points. Her Intermediate Lightning Release chakra talent has been enhanced to Advanced.]
[Bloodline ability infusion commencing. Duration: ten minutes.]
Ryun was momentarily stunned. An unexpected pleasant surprise had finally occurred during the enhancement process.
Hinata's Lightning Release talent had upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced. This meant that in the future, Ryun was only missing Wind Release to complete his affinity for all chakra natures.
Hinata lost consciousness due to the bloodline feedback. Ryun held her gently, ensuring she wouldn't feel lonely during this crucial moment. The ten minutes passed quickly, and Hinata slowly opened her eyes.
She didn't feel any rapid increase in her strength, but her eyes felt a bit sore.
"Mm, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Ryun asked curiously. Previously, no one else had experienced any discomfort while receiving bloodline feedback.
Hinata quickly shook her head and said, "Maybe it's because... after experiencing the Cleavage Eye, I'm a little unaccustomed to my current Byakugan."
"That's certainly possible. After all, there's a saying: 'It's hard to live frugally after living extravagantly.'"
Ryun's palm brushed over Hinata's eyes, gently prompting her to close them. He said, "Sleep now. I'll stay with you all day today."
"Okay!"
Hinata rested her head on Ryun's shoulder, revealing a sweet smile.
Ryun, of course, didn't forget to infuse Hinata with chakra either. But it was no longer單純 Yang Release chakra; it was a combination of Yang Release, Yin Release, and life force.
Since Hinata now understood Ryun's abilities, she wouldn't question his power anymore.
Moreover, Hinata's eye activation required more chakra, and Ryun was not stingy in this regard.
He opened his Yin Seal, trying his best to meet Hinata's needs.
However, the greediness of Hinata's eyes was somewhat unexpected by Ryun. It took a full hour before Hinata's eyes finally calmed down completely, and Ryun had already been drained of at least a week's worth of his chakra reserves.
Ryun let out a breath. If Hinata hadn't been satisfied soon, he might have had to actively stop first.
It wasn't that his chakra reserves were insufficient, but he needed to prepare for the possible upcoming war.
After doing all this, Ryun slowly closed his eyes as well.
Uzuki Yūgao was on guard outside the courtyard, and Kurenai had applied various sealing techniques. Now, even if Ryun slept soundly, he basically had nothing to worry about.
When he opened his eyes again, it was due to a soft knock at the door.
Ryun glanced at Hinata, who was still fast asleep, withdrew his arm from her embrace, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the room.
Outside the door was Kurenai, looking extremely anxious. She was startled by Ryun's sudden appearance. So he really could use the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Then yesterday... it wasn't a dream?
Kurenai rushed towards Ryun, grabbing his collar, about to say something, when she and Ryun were suddenly back in her bed.
The sudden change in scenery made Kurenai's body stiffen. A familiar feeling surged within her. Was Ryun going to...? Yes, Kurenai had guessed correctly.
As for the reward... naturally, it was Ryun helping Kurenai treat her injuries, followed by her getting injured again.
At first, Kurenai tried to push Ryun away, or perhaps use genjutsu to stop him.
But when she realized nothing she did had any effect, she slowly gave up resisting, calmed her heart, and then welcomed the pleasure Ryun brought her.
Time gradually passed. At eight o'clock in the morning, Kurenai finally opened her tired eyes. Half-embarrassed, half-pleased, she watched Ryun tracing patterns on her stomach and asked, "What are you doing?"
"No matter how hard you try, I can't have a child right now anyway."
Kurenai hadn't forgotten about Ryun's daughter, Nojuro Kurenai. She just found it hard to believe and thought it was some kind of genjutsu Ryun had cast on her.
This was also the reason for her anger. She felt that the feelings between her and Ryun weren't pure enough... He could have been more patient, after all.
Ryun originally had that patience, but a small accident had occurred.
If he hadn't brought Kurenai to his side, he was worried that the secret of him obtaining information from the future might leak.
It wasn't that Ryun thought Kurenai would betray him, but there were too many methods in the ninja world to probe someone's thoughts. Ryun wasn't ready for the future of the ninja world to become something he couldn't understand at all.
"Of course I know that. But since Sister Kurenai has become my wife, I naturally have to give you a gift."
"I'm not your wife!"
Kurenai kicked Ryun in shame and annoyance.
"Then am I still your little brother?"
This remark earned him a bite from Kurenai.
Ryun pretended to be hurt. Kurenai quickly withdrew her mouth and reached out to stroke the arm she had bitten, only to see the wound on Ryun's arm disappear at a visible rate.
This made Kurenai even more embarrassed and annoyed, knowing Ryun had tricked her.
Just as she was thinking of a way to get back at Ryun's weak points, Ryun suddenly became serious and said, "Don't move."
Kurenai's body stiffened. She looked at Ryun in disbelief, especially at his commanding eyes, and actually felt a surge of submission.
Although this feeling brought a sense of shame deep within her, that shame couldn't overcome her current obedience to Ryun. She obediently waited for him to finish his work.
Anyway... anyway, things had come this far. What meaning did her resistance have anymore?
Kurenai shyly covered her face. How was she supposed to face Anko and Hinata now, and the other girls around Ryun...
Soon, Kurenai had no time to be shy, because a special sensation originated from her stomach.
She quickly looked down. Familiar sealing technique formulas began to circulate on Kurenai's body, finally forming the character for "True" (真). This was clearly the True Spirit Seal unique to Kurenai.
Before she could even be surprised, Ryun's composite chakra was injected, making Kurenai's entire body feel as if it were on fire. Especially the heartbeat-like sensation emanating from the True Spirit Seal; each pulse seemed to stir her very core.
Kurenai bit her lip, thinking that this sealing technique was indeed improper, having such an effect... She was just about to question Ryun about this when she saw his face turn pale.
Wait... didn't Hinata say this seal could only be used once a month?
But he... Kurenai's heart instantly turned icy cold. She quickly embraced Ryun, saying, "Ryun-kun, stop, please stop!"
"You can't go on like this. Please, stop!"
