Chapter 484: Hiashi:???

Time went back a little earlier.

Hyuga Clan residence.

Unlike the warm and slightly "crowded" modern family atmosphere of the Uzumaki household, the Hyuga Clan residence still maintained the grandeur and solemnity of an ancient noble family, with vast grounds, deep courtyards, and a rustic architectural style.

However, while retaining its traditional heritage, traces of modernization could also be seen.

Little Hinata and Little Hanabi curiously examined this Hyuga Clan that was both familiar and strange.

The layout had indeed changed significantly; some corridors had been moved, the landscaping in the courtyards had been redesigned, and many facilities they had never seen before had been added.

However, wooden structures still predominated.

Combined with the length of time since Hidden Leaf Village was founded, these could already be considered historical buildings.

Although it was night, the moonlight and the lights within the residence were enough to illuminate the path, but to avoid unnecessary attention and explanations, Little Hinata and Little Hanabi followed adult Hinata's advice and used the Transformation Jutsu before entering the Hyuga Clan.

Little Hinata transformed into the appearance of Boruto, while Little Hanabi transformed into the appearance of Himawari.

"Boruto" and "Himawari" walked hand in hand, following behind the group.

Little Hanabi, transformed into the appearance of Himawari, held Little Hinata's hand tightly, her small face filled with nervousness.

Although this was nominally "home," the passage of twenty years made everything feel so strange; it did not feel like "coming home."

Seeming to sense their unease, adult Hinata gently and softly explained to them:

"Although there have been some changes, Father has always kept my and Hanabi's rooms as they were, and they are cleaned regularly."

She pointed in a certain direction of the residence, "It's right over there; I can take you to see it in a while. Technology is developing very fast now, and many old facilities need to be renovated and updated. The Hyuga Clan is keeping pace with the times, which is why these changes exist. It's all to make life more convenient."

Her voice was soft, carrying a soothing power that made Little Hinata and Little Hanabi relax a little.

"Hokage-sama, Young Miss, the Clan Head is already waiting in the tea room."

A member of the Hyuga Clan approached. After bowing to the Seventh Hokage and Hinata, he led the group toward the depths of the residence.

"Thank you."

The Seventh Hokage thanked the clansman without any of the airs of a Hokage, then led the group, following the guide.

They passed through quiet corridors, walked past carefully pruned courtyards, and finally arrived in front of an independent, rustic, and elegant Japanese-style room—the Hyuga Clan's tea room.

The tea room still had old-fashioned decor.

Sliding doors, tatami floors, a simple alcove, and a landscape painting with a profound Concept hanging on the wall; the air was permeated with a faint scent of sandalwood and tea.

The group took off their shoes on the wooden corridor at the entrance of the tea room and walked in one by one.

Inside the tea room, Hiashi was already kneeling on a cushion beside the tea table, waiting.

In front of him were seven cups of freshly brewed tea, emitting curling wisps of hot steam.

Compared to twenty years ago, Hiashi already showed obvious signs of aging.

His hair was half-white, combed meticulously; his face was full of the traces of time, but his eyes were still sharp and spirited; although his posture was no longer as straight as a pine, his kneeling posture was still as steady as a mountain, revealing the unique dignity and bearing of a clan head.

"Does the decoration of this tea room never change for twenty years?"

A young voice with a hint of surprise rang out.

Young Naruto stood at the entrance of the tea room, looking at this tea room that was almost exactly the same as in his memory, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

He clearly remembered that in another world, Hiashi had solemnly handed him the blade "Yaso Magatsukiri" in this tea room that had almost no changes.

Hiashi, who had originally risen slightly, with a kind smile on his face, preparing to hug his precious grandson Boruto and granddaughter Himawari, paused slightly because of this sudden remark from Young Naruto.

He was stunned for a moment, and carefully, with a scrutinizing gaze, examined the strange blond youth before him.

This youth definitely did not look twenty years old; although he was tall and his temperament was not like a youth's, one could tell at a glance that his age was not very old.

Hiashi was puzzled in his heart.

Except for a few distinguished guests, few people came into this tea room.

How did he know that this tea room hadn't changed its decoration for twenty years?

Moreover, this youth's appearance... although a closer look revealed some similarities to the Seventh Hokage when he was young, his temperament was completely different.

The Seventh Hokage was a sunny, hot-blooded, and even somewhat reckless "Dead-Last" when he was young; while this youth in front of him, although also wearing a smile, had eyes that were more calm and deep, a straight standing posture, and restrained aura.

It was precisely because of this huge difference in temperament, and the fact that Hiashi actually didn't have much contact with Naruto in his youth, that he didn't immediately associate this youth with Uzumaki Naruto, only feeling that he looked familiar, yet also indescribably strange.

"Who is this...?"

Hiashi sat up straight again, his gaze scanning back and forth between Young Naruto and the Seventh Hokage, asking with an inquiring tone.

"This is me from another world."

The Seventh Hokage introduced with a smile, "For the sake of distinction, you can just call him 'Souma'. Due to some accidents, he and several other companions have temporarily come to our world."

"You from another world?"

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Hiashi's eyes, but there was more astonishment.

He had lived for so many years, experienced countless storms, and had heard some fragments or ancient legends about time Ninjutsu, but seeing "visitors from another world" with his own eyes, and "another son-in-law" at that, was truly a first.

"I see."

Hiashi nodded, and the surprise on his face was quickly replaced by calmness.

"Although it is rare, there were indeed records and rumors about such things in the past, and there seem to be some written response regulations. I guess this counts as seeing something new in my long life."

Hiashi chuckled, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out, looking much more amiable.

As an old man, the wrinkles on his face were actually not too many, which might be due to a peaceful life.

The war had ended for more than ten years, and the Ninja World had been in a state of relative peace. Without years of fighting and scheming, as the head of the Hyuga Clan, the burden on his shoulders had lightened a lot.

His eldest daughter Hinata was already married to the Seventh Hokage, living a happy life, and had a pair of cute children.

His younger daughter Hanabi had also grown up to be elegant and capable, enough to inherit the family business.

As the number one clan in Hidden Leaf Village, the Hyuga Clan had a solid status, and life was thriving.

He really had no worries, and his mentality was peaceful.

"Aren't you going to introduce the other three guests to me?"

Hiashi motioned for everyone to take a seat on the empty cushions beside the tea table, and his gaze immediately turned to "Boruto", "Himawari", and the little girl with silver hair and gold eyes who had been quiet all along and had a special temperament.

He was mainly curious about "Boruto" and "Himawari" because the Seventh Hokage had only introduced Young Naruto just now, but these two children were obviously not the Boruto and Himawari he was familiar with.

That little monkey Boruto wouldn't be sitting so honestly and restrainedly.

Hearing Hiashi's words, "Boruto" and "Himawari" looked at each other, and then simultaneously dispelled the Transformation Jutsu.

Poof! Poof!

After two puffs of white smoke, Little Hinata and Little Hanabi's original appearance was revealed.
