Naruto: My Chill Life in the Hyuga Main House

The teaching plan proceeded smoothly, and vast amounts of money flowed steadily into the Hyūga Clan.

Upon hearing the news, the clan's upper echelons displayed a variety of expressions.

Hyūga Sounmei was clearly delighted, visibly pleased with his grandson Satori Hyūga's impressive achievements.

The Elder offered a polite smile, though his overall demeanor remained far from joyous.

Meanwhile, the Clan Leader, Hyūga Ten'yō, wore a faint smile. His gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if lost in thought.

The other family members below had different thoughts; most were simply delighted that the clan had gained a new business venture.

Establishing this new commercial channel promised new revenue streams and improved living standards in the future.

Smiling, Hyūga Sounmei turned to the Elder and said, "Elder, it seems we can now peacefully enjoy our retirement years."

"These kids these days are really something. Their business skills are quite impressive—turning losses into profits so quickly."

His words sounded sincere, yet each sentence struck a nerve with the Elder.

The Elder's face paled and flushed with greenish hues, his hands clenched tightly into fists as he gritted his teeth, all while maintaining a forced smile.

"That's right. A true genius of our Hyūga Clan. Who would've thought he'd be so gifted in business?"

"With his leadership, perhaps the Hyūga Clan will flourish even further—perhaps even surpassing the Uchiha Clan."

These words carried an undertone of provocation, prompting sidelong glances toward Clan Leader Hyūga Ten'yō and the young master, Hiashi Hyūga.

It was the Clan Leader's duty to advance the clan, yet now someone else was being praised as more capable—an unmistakable attempt at sowing discord.

Sitting nearby, Hiashi Hyūga—who had constantly received teachings from his father—also subtly changed expression.

His usual composed and unshaken demeanor showed the faintest tremor.

Observing his father and elder brother's reactions, Hizashi Hyūga felt a growing pressure build within him.

He also sensed that the atmosphere around them had become tense, and a sense of unease stirred in his heart.

Right after the family meeting ended, he sent a covert message to Satori Hyūga.

When Satori, hundreds of miles away, learned of this incident, a cold gleam flickered in his eyes.

"So that old fox dares to throw me under the cart? Truly a cunning old man."

Saying such things openly was essentially thrusting himself into the spotlight, making others suspect that he might be aiming for the position of Clan Leader.

But truthfully, that was never his intention.

His ambition matched his strength, never confined solely to the Hyūga Clan.

Perhaps it was due to his perspective as a transmigrated soul, but the Hyūga Clan was merely his starting point or fallback option.

Once he successfully mastered [Lightning Release: Eight Gates], he might even seek to dominate other villages.

As for Konoha, with its immense strength, constant emergence of prodigies, and an endless parade of powerful eccentrics, he had no current plans to target it.

While the Elder's remarks brought him a certain sense of crisis, they also made Satori reassess his estimation of the clan's leadership.

Would becoming better and more outstanding provoke jealousy from certain people within the clan? Would they choose to ignore it or secretly strike him down? These were all possibilities.

Judging from appearances, the Clan Leader seemed like a mediocre person who maintained the status quo—nothing particularly impressive, but also not completely useless.

But people's thoughts were hidden beneath their skin. When faced with threats to their own interests, people would instinctively want to eliminate any potential dangers.

Satori stayed in the Land of Fire for over half a month longer, completing the second and third phases of his training manual before finally preparing to leave.

The reason he stayed so long was mainly to experience the local culture and customs. Outside the village, one could witness scenery unique to these regions—something impossible to see if you stayed confined to Konoha.

Konoha was a militarized village; compared to the outside world, it indeed lacked a sense of freedom and variety.

Inside an underground black-market exchange known as the Golden Exchange,

A slim and wiry figure stepped out holding a scroll in hand, heading directly toward a secluded location.

With a puff of smoke dispersing, Satori Hyūga emerged.

It turned out this person was a transformation created by Satori himself. He had come to the Golden Exchange to purchase items he needed.

Such as experimental equipment, corpses of Lightning Release specialists, Lightning Release techniques, and more.

As for what he obtained, he had acquired an impressive haul that left him quite satisfied.

No wonder the Golden Exchange was hailed as the largest black-market trading hub across the ninja world. As long as you had money, you could commission any mission and buy anything.

And Satori was never short on cash—especially after collecting tuition fees from batch after batch of clan members.

Inside the Golden Exchange, he spent large sums purchasing several Cloud Village ninja corpses whose specialties combined Lightning Release and Taijutsu.

Not long after completing the transaction, he received the goods—still fresh, seemingly freshly acquired.

"Alright," he said. "I've finished everything here in the Land of Fire. Let's return to Konoha now."

Satisfied with what he'd acquired, Satori departed the town happily alongside three others, making his way toward Konoha.

Actually, he had considered expanding his operations into other countries, but since his essential oil production and experiments weren't yet complete, he temporarily shelved the idea.

The essential oils were another profitable venture—possibly even a cornerstone of the massage service industry.

Once produced, even without expanding overseas, they promised massive profits.

Still, for now, his finances were sufficient. A sense of urgency stirred within Satori—he craved true power.

Midway through their journey, a group approached wielding wooden clubs. Looking closer, they were all ordinary villagers.

"Damn it! Where did that debtor run off to?"

"Cursed! She ran off again. Everyone, quick, chase her!"

Curious, Satori grabbed one of them and asked what was happening.

"What are you chasing after?"

Irritated at being stopped, the man snapped, "Don't block me! We're looking for The Fat Sheep. She borrowed money from our loan shark and hasn't repaid us yet."

"The Fat Sheep?" Satori rubbed his chin, finding the name oddly familiar.

"Huh… wait, isn't 'The Fat Sheep' referring to Tsunade?"

After a brief pause, realization struck—this nickname referred to Tsunade. His eyes instantly lit up.

Princess Tsunade, one of the Sannin, possessed Kage-level strength. Her mastery of Medical Ninjutsu was unmatched. She was the princess of the Land of Fire and granddaughter of the First Hokage. Such titles alone were enough to make her extraordinary.

However, Satori Hyūga knew the truth—years of war had taken both her younger brother and lover from her, leaving her with a severe case of hemophobia.

What a tragedy.

A Medical Ninja who trembled helplessly at the sight of blood, left powerless and defenseless—it was like being rendered useless, a broken weapon.

And yet, despite that, her stunning figure, captivating beauty, and timeless youth still drew endless envy and desire.

But Satori wasn't among them.

Looking down at his twelve- or thirteen-year-old body, he could only sigh in frustration... It just felt so wrong.
