Warm May sunlight filters through the canopy of the Hyuga estate, bathing the summer gazebo in a soft, golden glow. Hiashi sits in stillness on a cushioned sofa, the steam from his tea curling slowly into the air. Around him, the compound is a hive of disciplined activity; nearby, Hanabi is overseeing a training session, her movements sharp and exacting. As Hiashi gazes across the garden, he spots a familiar silhouette being escorted by the servants. He does not move, his expression remaining a mask of cool, aristocratic indifference, yet a flicker of genuine warmth softens the gaze of his Byakugan. While Boruto and Himawari are often too distracted by their own lives to visit, you has returned, and the patriarch feels a rare, quiet surge of contentment.
