Naruto: My Chill Life in the Hyuga Main House

Tsunade's teasing didn't faze Hyuga Satori.

He pulled a thick stack of bills from his sleeve and tossed it to Tsunade.

"Onee-san, we're square now," he said.

"I'm heading back to Konoha. When you return someday, feel free to find me for a chat."

"Leaving so soon?" Tsunade asked. "I haven't even had my fill of fun yet."

Her expression dropped, and her mood darkened.

Through their time together these past few days, with Satori acting like a childish brat, she'd felt like her younger brother was alive again.

Plus, Satori had accompanied her to various casinos, where they'd scored huge wins together—making him the perfect accomplice.

Now that he was leaving, she really felt reluctant to part ways.

"No choice," Satori replied. "I am a member of the Hyūga Main House. I can't stay away for long."

"And you won't even help me solve this body issue? Guess I'll have to find other means then."

As their farewell approached, Tsunade suddenly lunged forward and wrapped Satori into a tight hug.

Caught completely off guard, Satori buried his head in her chest—softness and warmth engulfing him, making him lose himself in the moment.

"Onee-san, I don't want to leave you either. Wishing I could stay just a little longer."

Letting out a muffled whimper, he instinctively hugged Tsunade back, nuzzling into her ample chest.

Heavenly.

This was the upside of pretending to be a kid!

At that moment, Satori found himself thinking maybe staying young wasn't such a bad thing.

Initially, Tsunade didn't mind much.

But when Satori still hadn't let go after a while, something clicked in her mind. Gritting her teeth in fury, she raised her delicate fist and prepared to strike him.

Hearing the whistle of her punch slicing through the air, Satori immediately sprang backward, using his height to narrowly avoid the blow.

"Onee-san, our reunion's over. Let's meet again another day."

Before Tsunade could speak, Satori turned on his heel and ran off, leaving her behind clenching her fists angrily.

"Damn little perv! Don't let me see you again!"

Yet as she watched Satori disappear into the distance, Tsunade's anger gradually faded, replaced by a faint sense of emptiness.

She grasped the rhombus-shaped crystal pendant hanging around her neck, memories involuntarily flooding back to days long gone.

Meanwhile, Satori sprinted back to the Hyūga clan's base, where a Guard Ninja quickly approached him.

"Master Satori, I've found the information you requested. There is indeed a physician known as Shinno within the ninja world."

Satori's eyes lit up as he snatched the report.

"Shinno... Never thought someone from the movie universe would appear here too."

Shinno was the leader of the Kumo Village Remnants who once led an attack on Konoha during the Second Great Shinobi War. Unfortunately, he misjudged their strength and suffered a crushing defeat. Afterward, he reinvented himself as an elderly physician renowned for his medical skills, infiltrating various hidden villages to steal secrets and advanced jutsu.

Satori recalled knowing about him. He was known for secret techniques like [Muscle Activation], [Body Regeneration], [Dark Chakra], and [Eight Gates Technique].

While researching Shinno had been more out of curiosity than anything else, Satori remembered knowing about this guy.

He possessed some physical techniques that interested Satori.

The Muscle Activation and Body Regeneration jutsu consume cells, keeping the body in a heightened state of vitality.

No matter how severe the injury, as long as it isn't life-threatening, recovery can be achieved through rapid cell division.

However, there are drawbacks—cell division has its limits. If used too often, it shortens one's lifespan.

Interestingly enough, Shinno followed a path similar to Satori Hyūga's—both sought to unlock the full potential of the human body.

Of course, Satori didn't copy Shinno; their approaches were merely coincidental.

Shinno's [Muscle Activation] combined with [Body Regeneration] and [Dark Chakra] allows him to open the Eight Gates without dying.

In the movie, Shinno used this combination to withstand Naruto Uzumaki's attacks without flinching.

Too bad Sasuke sealed his chakra flow by striking key pressure points, turning him back into an old man.

Otherwise, with such a trait that grows stronger the more he fights, he could have grown infinitely powerful.

After executing this set of combined techniques, he transformed from a frail old man into a towering, muscular warrior.

At first glance, he bore a striking resemblance to the legendary Super Saiyan.

"Muscle Activation and Body Regeneration… I wonder if Shinno has perfected them completely."

Faced with this near-flawless set of techniques, Satori felt a strong urge to obtain them for himself.

This skillset aligned perfectly with his fighting style, almost as if it had been custom-made for him.

If he could steal these abilities, they would surely explode his power, potentially even unlocking their full potential.

Shinno had kept them hidden for years, but now he's too old, lacks combat experience, and barely uses his power.

But if Satori took control, he could push this set of skills to their absolute peak.

It might even allow him to reach Kage-level strength.

"It seems I must find Shinno immediately."

Not only would this help improve his body or increase his strength, but obtaining those secret techniques was also crucial.

Satori thought it over and decided to send an invitation to Shinno under the name of the Hyūga Clan.

The invitation claimed that a high-ranking clan member was seriously ill and requested Shinno come to Konoha for treatment.

Initially, he considered forcefully seizing the techniques, but he feared drawing unnecessary attention, so instead, he pretended to be a patient seeking medical help.

He made up this story so convincingly that everyone believed it.

All the clan members bought it, and Satori doubted that Shinno would suspect anything at all.

Besides, the Byakugan of the Hyūga Clan is famous throughout the ninja world—an incredible opportunity lay before him, and Satori didn't believe Shinno would pass it up.

Once he arrived in Konoha, there would be no way out for him.

After everything was arranged, Satori quietly led his group back to Konoha.

He arrived in a rush and departed just as hastily.

Yet within less than a month, he breathed new life into a massage parlor that had suffered heavy losses.

This achievement quickly elevated Satori's reputation, significantly boosting his standing within the clan.

Members from other clans who heard about it also began to recognize Satori's exceptional business acumen.

As for that, Satori didn't care much—it was all just empty fame, after all, offering him little real benefit.

Upon returning to Konoha, he swiftly framed the Elder's faction and dismantled them, placing all the blame squarely on the Elder.

He wasn't someone to be pushed around, nor someone who clung blindly to tradition. 

In his telling, those under the Elder's command were headstrong and defiant, refusing to obey orders, resulting in significant losses for the family's business ventures. 

Following a swift and calculated campaign, nearly half of the Elder's faction had been shattered, with many defecting from his control.
