Chapter 24
June 15, Year 58 of Konoha.
An ordinary day.
The weather was clear.
As a young master of the main branch, Gen woke up early. After spending half an hour practicing Gentle Fist in the training grounds downstairs, getting sweaty, he took a shower, changed clothes, and then went to his grandfather’s room to greet him respectfully.
“Don't go anywhere today. Later, join me for the Hyuga clan meeting.” Grandfather Hyuga Hisaku, a highly respected elder of the Hyuga clan, had returned to Konoha three days after receiving the clan leader's meeting notification.
“Yes.” Gen sighed inwardly. He knew a star from the Land of Fire would perform at the Konoha Theater today, but attending the clan meeting meant he couldn't enjoy the show.
At the breakfast table, it was just the grandfather and grandson. Suddenly, Hisaku spoke:
“Yesterday, when you went to the clan leader's residence with little Rin and little Jia, did you notice anything unusual?”
“No… nothing unusual, just more trees and fewer people. Little Jia kept crying, though.”
