The rest of the night was calm, Kazuo ate with the rest of his team and Kushina before giving his goodbyes and heading towards the Hyuga Complex, where he informed Hizashi about his advancement in Ninja Rank and the two continued to talk about the last remaining details regarding his marriage.
Kazuo had yet to even meet the woman he would soon be married to however he wasn't curious. The woman would at most be a piece to use or she could similarly simply useless addition to his life.
Either way, the woman had already served her main purpose before Kazuo had even met her.
His relations with the Hyuga clan had already improved.
'It's still only the beginning stage, however' Kazuo thought as he walked back towards his apartment, the night having already fallen and the moon already shining down onto the world of supernatural ninjas.
'The next stage is more difficult, how do I manage to cause a rebellion inside of the Hyuga clan so that I can change its foundations of slavery? I don't exactly have anything against slavery however It is annoying that I am in the position of the slave at this point in time. No, rather I'm in a position even lower than the slaves of the Hyuga branch.' Kazuo thought in slight annoyance however he quickly removed said emotion from his thoughts.
Arriving at his apartment, He quickly headed inside and locked the door before placing a new seal on the door.
'The first opportunity is at the event of Hizashi's death. By that point in time two things are required. Minato Namikaze needs to be the Hokage, however, even then Hiruzen would most likely still influence the decision and lead to Hizashi's death once more however this is exactly what I want.' Kazuo thought as he quickly removed his battle gear.
'At that point, I'll assassinate every Hyuga elder and grab their eyes, this will likely turn the entire event on its head with the Leaf accusing the Cloud of killing so many members of the Hyuga clan and stealing their byakugan. After which all I need to do is assassinate an important member of the Cloud village.' Kazuo thought as a slight smile appeared on his face as he lay down on his bed.
'But I would need a justification for killing said Cloud Ninja, a justification that the Leaf would accept whilst the Cloud wouldn't. I could do the assassination in the shadows however I never wanted to be a shadow to begin with.' Kazuo thought as his mind turned towards his newest piece on this chess board.
'My wife huh…' Kazuo thought as his smile widened further, his mind churning as it spewed out idea after idea.
And so the night passed with Kazuo falling asleep eventually.
It was only after two days that he woke up from his slumber, the aftereffect of eating the soldier pills.
Getting up from his bed, Kazuo quickly completed his morning routine and got dressed up in casual gear.
Today he would be meeting his wife for the first time and tomorrow the wedding would be held.
'Thankfully I managed to wake up in time.' Kazuo thought as he headed out of his apartment after quickly glancing at the time.
'I have around thirty minutes to arrive at the Hyuga compound.' Kazuo thought as he started walking towards it rather than using the body flicker jutsu.
With his increased Charisma, the murmurs around him as he walked the streets of Konoha seemed to have risen as well.
'Good, now then I'll have to repeat this day quite a few times.' Kazuo thought in slight annoyance as he arrived at the compound.
For his plans to work perfectly later on, he needed to show the image of a young man captivated by the beauty of his future wife whilst at the same time managing to seduce the woman completely until she could only think and rely on him.
This would have been harder said than done had Kazuo not had the Time Loop, however he did.
Giving the image of someone who was similar to her and at the same time understanding and loving was easy when you could know everything about her before even meeting her.
'Would this be considered psychopathic behavior?' Kazuo mussed to himself inwardly as he finally arrived at the Hyuga compound.
The guards had already been given notice of his upcoming arrival and so they gave way immediately, giving a slight nod to Kazuo.
Kazuo reciprocated the nod and gave the duo a soft smile before heading inside the Clan grounds.
Walking through the streets of the large clan district, Kazuo noticed that just like the civilians on the street, the Hyuga were staring at him.
Most were simply curious however he could sense the disdain on quite a few faces as they looked at him.
'Disdain at having me inside the clan grounds? Likely because they feel like im beneath them to such a degree that my mere presence here is sullying the ground.' Kazuo quickly analyzed before giving a soft chuckle.
After around three minutes of walking, Kazuo arrived in front of Hizashi's house.
It seemed the man had already been waiting for him as he stood in front of the gate.
"You're here Jonin Kazuo."
"Yes, I hope I didn't make you wait long Hizashi-sama," Kazuo replied, the words were said flawlessly however on the inside he felt as if his mouth was filled with some kind of sticky gunk.
Having to refer to someone like Hizashi with such high respect damaged more of his ego than Kazuo had expected however he didn't show it outwardly at all.
He wouldn't let emotions interfere with his plans, even if those were his emotions and feelings.
"No, you're right on time," Hizashi replied before he turned to look behind him.
It was at this moment that a young woman walked to stand next to him.
She had long brown hair that was tied in a ponytail with two bangs that slid down her face, seeming to accentuate it even more.
Her complexion was pale, almost as pale as snow quite similar to her eyes.
Her figure clearly showed that the woman was a trained kunoichi, be it the way that she handled herself or the very air that surrounded her.
'This is interesting.' Kazuo thought inwardly whilst outwardly his eyes widened slightly.
Giving the image as if he was struck by the sight.
The woman stared at him unabashedly before her eyes slightly twitched.
'She doesn't like how struck I am with her? Hmm.' Kazuo thought as he kept the information in mind for the next turn.
"This is Saori Hyuga. She's currently a Special Jonin." Hizashi introduced the woman who gave a shallow bow in greeting to Kazuo who quickly reciprocated.
"Pleasure to meet you Saori-San. Im Kazuo, no surname. Im a Jonin." Kazuo replied as he gave his own greeting.
The woman merely gave a slight nod in turn as she walked closer to Kazuo before standing in front of him.
"I'll leave the rest to you two," Hizashi replied with his usual monotone voice before giving a slight nod and turning around, heading back inside the mansion.
Leaving Kazuo alone with a woman who clearly held disdain for him.
'Even though my Charisma has already reached such a high level, she holds clear disdain towards me. This is going to be slightly more annoying than I would have liked.' Kazuo thought as he released a soft sigh before turning towards the woman.
"So Saori-San, would you mind showing me around the clan grounds? We could also go to have something to eat, I've yet to have breakfast this morning." Kazuo said, his tone soft as he spoke.
"Yes." Saori simply replied as she started walking ahead, Kazuo following behind her.
