Shiki suddenly had a way to have the best of both worlds. "Chihori, do you mind if I practice on you?"

"No problem."

Chihori recalled his previous treatment. Although it was a bit unfamiliar, the effect was not bad.

"Where else do you have wounds?"

Shiki was referring to the tooth marks. Before, all the skin exposed on her body had been treated. Later, after treatment with Palm Magic and Life-Making Leaves, the tooth marks on her hands disappeared.

"That...that's troublesome, Shiki."

Chihori reached out and unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

Shiki looked around, brought a stool, and stepped on it. His eyelids twitched; from the top-down angle, it was too clear.

Shiki collected his thoughts and began to make hand seals. After all, Chihori's daughter Karin was watching him.

The green light enveloped her shoulders. The teeth marks slowly faded and eventually disappeared.

Shiki let out a breath. The Palm Immortal Technique consumed a lot of chakra.

"Thanks."

Chihori pulled up her collar and spoke softly, "Anything else?"

Shiki figured it wouldn't be a problem to do it again, "In the legs."

Chihori bent down and rolled up her trouser legs, revealing teeth marks all over her slender calves.

"Mother."

Karin gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm fine."

Chihori held Karin in her arms. Shiki jumped off the stool, crouched down, and stretched out his hands. The light of chakra lit up again.

Due to the itchiness and soreness caused by the healing wound, Chihori groaned and curled her toes subconsciously. She was wearing sandals.

Shiki could clearly see her arched foot and bent toes. It wasn't until the treatment was over that her body relaxed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shiki."

Karin reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Thanks."

Shiki looked at her and found it hard to connect her with the hot-tempered Karin in the original work. But there is a saying that goes like this: Everyone has two faces—one in front of acquaintances and one in front of strangers. Once they got familiar with each other, Karin's true colors would probably be revealed.

"I'll take you to your residence."

Shiki stood up and walked out. The residence was near the Hyuga clan—a two-story Japanese-style house that was quite spacious.

Chihori still couldn't believe it when she took the key. In Kusagakure Village, they lived in cramped houses and their freedom was restricted, so they could not go out at will. But now, they could do whatever they wanted. Except that the red hair couldn't be restored. But Chihori knew that Shiki did this to protect them.

At the Hyuga clan.

"Come in."

The Hyuga ninja guarding the gate made way.

Shiki was slightly startled. He hadn't spoken yet. Why did it feel like his status in the Hyuga clan had skyrocketed? Son-in-law?

Shiki walked into the courtyard. Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata were sparring. But Hyuga Hiashi was not there.

"Shiki-kun?"

Hinata quickly distanced herself from him and trotted in front of him. Neji patted his white training uniform with a calm expression. He was used to it.

"Good afternoon."

Shiki looked at the thin layer of sweat on her face and handed her a tissue. He suddenly remembered that the white pig poison in her body had reached its limit. Now it was time to change to the black pig Gu. However, in order to avoid arousing too much suspicion, he decided to wait and see.

Shiki looked at Neji, who was not far away. He was very conscious and didn't go up to disturb them.

"Neji."

Shiki said, "I need to talk to you about something."

"Huh?"

Hinata stopped wiping her sweat, a look of confusion appearing on her face. Shiki-kun, aren't you here to see me?

"Where shall we talk?"

Neji asked after being slightly startled.

"Hinata, wait a moment."

Shiki walked up to Neji and asked directly, "Do you have a way to get the basic sealing technique?"

"Can."

Neji's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Has the new members arrived?"

"Um."

Shiki nodded and said, "I'll live in the house you prepared earlier."

"I'll give you the sealing technique next Monday."

Neji suppressed the excitement in his heart. He knew that even with a genius in the art of sealing, he still had a long way to go before he could unlock the bird in the cage.

Shiki suddenly turned around. Hinata, who was stretching her neck to peek, was caught red-handed. She looked at him with a half-smile expression and quickly lowered her head. Her heart was beating fast, and she felt very nervous.

"Hinata."

Shiki walked to the center of the courtyard and said, "Let's spar."

Hinata was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile. She hadn't sparred with him for two days. Neji stood there and watched. After a moment, he finally determined the reason for Hinata's improvement in soft fist. In the previous practical class, he was surprised by the change in her style. Now it seemed that she was learning from Shiki. It had simply become his... style. But overall, it was a good thing. Hinata seemed too soft before. As a ninja, this was deadly.

Neji couldn't help but sigh at her luck. Although he rarely talked about fate now, Hinata's fate was indeed good since she met Shiki. But if he thought about it, he was pretty much the same. Ever since his conversation with Shiki, he would wake up in the middle of the night eager to go for extra practice.

Thinking of this, Neji took action. When Hiashi came back and saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel relieved. With the joining of Shiki, Neji and Hinata were no longer strangers. Hiashi recalled the training he and Hinata had when they were young. Unfortunately, things had changed.

"Shiki, stay for dinner."

Hiashi looked at it for a while and then spoke.

"No, Uncle."

Shiki refused and said, "I'll go home and eat."

Hinata felt a little disappointed when she heard that. Hiashi's face twitched. If it weren't for Hinata, he would definitely make this brat pay for it.

"See you tomorrow, Hinata."
