"Hey, are you afraid I'll find out?" Mito tried to mock him.
However, Kyosuke didn't hesitate and nodded, saying, "Of course. Deals need to be secret. If too many people know, it can cause unnecessary trouble."
"…Alright." Hyūga Tenjin initially wanted to refuse immediately.
He didn't see any reason to get involved in the conflict between the two clans.
Not long ago, the Senju had also sent envoys, offering many tempting conditions, and he had sent them away without hesitation.
Now that it's the Uchiha, things won't change.
Listening was simply a sign of respect for the leader of the Uchiha.
Soon, the two bystanders left, leaving only Kyosuke and the Hyūga clan leader in the meeting room.
However, he still shook his head, frankly stating, "Forgive me, but can you guarantee that this conversation won't be heard by a third party?"
Taking a deep breath, Hyūga Tenjin could clearly feel his patience wearing thin.
However, considering the young man's status, he still held back his impatience and activated the necessary barrier for the meeting room.
"Don't worry, even the Byakugan can't see here."
"Good."
Kyosuke nodded and immediately said something that almost made Hyūga Tenjin jump up in surprise.
"Do you know about the Tenseigan?"
Subconsciously activating his Byakugan, the angry veins on his forehead completely erased the calmness that had once marked his demeanor.
Now, he looked like a fierce leader from the Warring States period.
"Where did you hear about that name?" Hyūga Tenjin asked.
In fact, he was having difficulty staying calm. As clan leader, he had access to all the clan's ancient texts.
In some incomplete books, he had heard about the existence of something like the Tenseigan, said to be the final evolution of the Byakugan.
It also involved unknown words such as Hamura Ōtsutsuki, the Shinobi Sect, the moon, and vague terms related to dangers in the shadows.
At one point, Hyūga Tenjin had believed that he would never uncover the truth from centuries ago.
Now, however, this young foreigner was feeding him information.
"Please sit, Clan Leader Tenjin." Their roles seemed to have switched, with Kyosuke exuding the calm confidence of a master.
Hyūga Tenjin, realizing he had lost his composure, made a great effort to sit down.
He had to admit, this young man was well-prepared.
Once uninterested, Hyūga Tenjin was now fully intrigued, waiting to see how the young man would continue his persuasion.
"There's a rumor that the Sage of Six Paths saved the world, founded the Shinobi Sect, and created a thousand years of ninja history."
Upon hearing this, Hyūga Tenjin didn't show much change in expression.
He had heard many versions of such mythological stories and could even recite several versions.
"Of course, the clan leaders have heard of that, but you probably didn't know that the Sage of Six Paths had a brother."
A brother? Hyūga Tenjin leaned forward, his attention now fully focused.
"Yes, his brother's name was Ōtsutsuki Hamura."
Crack!
Hyūga Tenjin, unable to control himself, crushed the armrest. Upon hearing the name of the ancestor Hamura, he was about 70% convinced.
Even he had only heard of the name "Hamura" and couldn't connect it with the Ōtsutsuki or the Sage of Six Paths.
He had so many questions, but soon stopped guessing because the young man's explanation continued.
"For some reason, the noble ancestor decided to leave the Shinobi world and go to an unknown place to watch over a looming threat."
"Thus, his bloodline was split, and the bloodline that remained in the Shinobi world became the Hyūga clan."
Sitting across from Hyūga Tenjin felt almost like listening to a story in a tavern.
Is this brat really just making up lies to deceive me?
To gain his trust, Kyosuke thought for a moment and then decided to reveal a little more information: "The two of your clans inherited different powers from Ōtsutsuki Hamura."
"You inherited the 'eye,' and another branch inherited the 'body.'"
"To activate the Tenseigan, the eye and body must combine, and that's when one can obtain power beyond the Mangekyō Sharingan."
The Mangekyō Sharingan wasn't a secret among the higher-ups in the Shinobi world.
For a period, the Uchiha clan had many Mangekyō Sharingan users who once dominated the Fire Nation, only to be brought down by an internal conflict.
To suppress Mangekyō users, the forbidden technique "Izanami" was created.
This wasn't recorded in the clan's books; Kyosuke had learned about it through the memories of a reanimated Itachi.
By mentioning the Mangekyō Sharingan, he intended to emphasize the power of the Reincarnation Eye while also signaling that he wasn't just some clueless kid.
After a long silence, Hyūga Tenjin finally regained his composure and spoke faintly: "Your story is vivid, but it's not enough to convince me."
It seemed like Hyūga Tenjin had never fully believed his words.
However, these tactics didn't faze Kyosuke in the slightest.
"Oh? Since Clan Leader Tenjin doesn't want to believe, then how about we lift the barrier?"
"After all, it's just nonsense, why should we care if others hear it?"
Kyosuke's words were a direct challenge.
You don't believe me? Fine, then let's open the windows and air out all the secrets of the Hyūga clan to the world.
Another long pause. After some time, Hyūga Tenjin finally spoke again: "You'll have to show me some proof."
Despite knowing the odds were slim, the temptation of the Tenseigan made him willing to try anything.
"Proof?"
Kyosuke scratched his head in frustration before leaning forward, a wicked smile curving his lips.
"If Clan Leader Tenjin agrees to form an alliance with my clan, I can personally take you to meet the other side."
Hyūga Tenjin hesitated briefly before decisively stating: "Very well. As long as you prove the plan's feasibility, the Hyūga will be your strongest ally."
He didn't say Uchiha, but instead referred to "your" clan, showing that these old negotiators truly knew the art of bargaining.
Upon hearing this, Kyosuke smiled faintly and extended his right hand.
"Deal. I hope our cooperation will be a success."
---
In the northern part of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Maya, leading elite ninja's, had been staying in the area for a long time.
Based on the map provided by their master, she had searched thoroughly and finally discovered a starry, radiant space-time barrier in a certain cave.
'The road to the moon.'
She ordered her team to carefully cover up the cave and record the exact coordinates, after which the team quickly left the area.
Now that they had found the location, what came next was no longer her concern.
Soon, Kyosuke, who was visiting the Hyūga Clan, received a message from Maya.
Using the Flying Thunder God Kunai set up along the way, it took him about half an hour to reach the cave.
Next, the task was to study the space-time barrier.
When he could perfectly replicate it, that would be the moment he could lead the Hyūga Clan to fulfill their dream of reaching the moon."
