----------
As he spoke, Ishigami Hara's eyes showed a special state. His left eye was as white as jade, but inside it flowed layers of light blue light, which looked extremely gorgeous, like a dazzling gem, making people want to sink into it.
And his right eye, with circles of lines nested in each other, glowing with a faint purple light, looked extremely strange, as if it could absorb people's souls.
Hyuga Iroha saw these eyes, his eyes were blank for a moment, and then he came back to his senses with a start, only to feel cold sweat.
Just that one glance, he felt that he was full of fantasies in front of him, and all kinds of emotions in his heart began to boil, making his breathing quickly become heavy.
Ishigami Hara just stared at him quietly, and said slowly: "This is the ultimate eye technique of your Hyuga clan's Byakugan—Tenseigan, which corresponds to the highest form of Uchiha Sharingan—Rinnegan."
"You have great potential, and the purity of your Byakugan is extremely high."
"This is your luck, but also your sorrow."
"It is because of this high level of Byakugan purity that you were chosen by them."
"In their view, using your parents' eyes as a starting point, the eye power of other Byakugan can be combined with your eyes to create a pair of special eyes..."
As he said this, Ishigami Hara shook his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing across his face.
"But they don't know that I already have this power. They still want to master the power of Tenseigan to fight against me and the reform of the village. It's really ridiculous."
Ishigami Hara closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal.
Hyuga Iroha, who saw this scene, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the inexplicable pressure disappeared, and his whole body was much more relaxed.
"I won't care about the hatred on you, but don't forget the task I gave you, Iroha. I am optimistic about your talent and ability, don't let me down."
Hyuga Iroha bowed his head deeply and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Hokage, I know what to do."
Ishigami Hara nodded: "Very good, then do it, take what I gave you, and open those special eyes."
"Remember, don't sink into the darkness, everything you do is contributing to the peace of the ninja world!"
"Yes, Hokage!"
After saying that, Hyuga Iroha disappeared from the Hokage's office, as if he had never appeared. "Don't let me down."
Ishigami Hara muttered to himself, and his eyes turned out of the window again.
Looking at the prosperity of Konoha, Ishigami Hara raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. "Such a good place, why do some people not want to cherish it?"
Konoha, a barbecue restaurant on the commercial street.
"Why hasn't Iroha come yet? This is unlike him to be late."
While Ishigami Asuka was talking, he was fiddling with the tableware on the table.
On the side sat Uchiha Shikazan, with his arms folded across his chest, looking serious and silent.
On the other side sat Uchiha Inahiro, with the same expression and movements.
"Teacher Shikazan, I accepted today and successfully promoted to Chūnin. The reward you mentioned is not just a barbecue, right?" Ishigami Asuka glanced at Uchiha Inahiro and said with a smile.
Uchiha Shikazan's expression did not change. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said in a flat tone: "I have arrangements."
"Okay, then I'll wait."
As she said this, she glanced at Uchiha Inahiro again, and the latter snorted coldly and turned away.
In the whole team, Ishigami Asuka is the most lively. Of the other two, both Uchiha Inahiro and Hyuga Iroha are much more serious.
The former has the pride of the Uchiha clan, which is a kind of tsundere in Ishigami Asuka's eyes, while the latter is as old-fashioned as other Hyuga people.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Hyuga Iroha entered the barbecue restaurant and sat down at an empty seat at the table with a faint smile on his face.
Ishigami Asuka widened his eyes, as if she was meeting him for the first time, and looked at Hyuga Iroha carefully from top to bottom, and then said: "You are not right, very wrong!"
As she said that, she couldn't help but get closer to take a closer look, but he never found any clues from the other party, but the other party's smiling face made Ishigami Asuka feel quite strange.
In this state, not to mention her, even Uchiha Shikazan and Uchiha Inahiro couldn't help but cast their eyes. The latter was also looking at Hyuga Iroha, frowning, not knowing why.
"So, what happened to you? Why did you change so much?" Ishigami Asuka asked.
Hyuga Iroha just chuckled and shook his head and said: "Don't get me wrong, I just remembered something happy. To express my apology, I will treat you to this barbecue today."
Uchiha Shikazan shook his head: "No, this is my responsibility as a teacher." As he said that, he also looked at Hyuga Iroha, and then nodded slightly: "You can get out of the shadow of failure, which is good. It's just a failure. Don't take it to heart."
"Yes, Mr. Shikazan, I remember it. Thank you for your teaching."
Hyuga Iroha looked at Uchiha Inahiro and said, "Inahiro-kun, don't be discouraged by failure. Asuka is special after all. It's nothing to lose to her. You have great potential. As long as you work hard, it's possible to defeat her."
"Hmph, you don't need to tell me, I know it myself."
Uchiha Inahiro was as proud as ever. He turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
"Really? Sorry, I'm too nosy." Hyuga Iroha shook his head gently.
"You, are you really hit?"
Ishigami Asuka felt that Hyuga Iroha was a little bit wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She just felt that there was something strange.
The relationship between the three people was generally complicated, but as teammates, they understood each other. Even because each of them was the strongest genius of the clan, there was still some inexplicable feeling between them.
That feeling is very special, just like looking in the mirror, you can always see some of your own shadow in the other person, whether it is personality or talent, you can find some familiarity in the other two.
It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the three is very complicated, but they have gradually developed some special understanding.
Looking at the two companions in front of him, Hyuga Iroha smiled sincerely and said: "I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time. It seems that I have to eat a lot today."
Uchiha Inahiro snorted coldly and said: "You are the head of the Hyuga family. You can't even afford barbecue on weekdays?"
Hyuga Iroha smiled and shook his head: "It's not like that, but since my parents passed away, no one has ever eaten barbecue with me, so this is my first barbecue in all these years."
"The first meal? Iroha-kun, this will not be the last meal. There will be many opportunities in the future. Let's eat a lot today." Uchiha Shikazan said.
"The last meal? Thank you, teacher."
Hyuga Iroha smiled and nodded.
"You guy, don't listen halfway, Shikazan-sensei said this is not the last meal," Ishigami Asuka said.
Hyuga Iroha smiled unchanged: "Yeah, I know."
