[Um? ]
Naruto paused for a moment.
[Then he subconsciously raised his hand.]
[He touched his forehead.]
[Sure enough, I felt a small bump.]
The left and right sides are symmetrical.
[at the same time. ]
Naruto also noticed his arm.
[The skin seems to have become somewhat pale.]
It is neither hard white nor soft white.
Instead, it was a deathly gray.
This made Naruto frown slightly.
And then he frowned.
Hinata Natsu couldn't resist reaching out to touch it.
A strange light flashed in her pure white eyes.
Then, she gently smoothed out Naruto's slightly furrowed brows.
Half of their eyebrows were missing, and they had turned somewhat grayish-white.
It looks like my eyebrows have fallen out.
Instead, there are two symmetrical, prominent brow bones.
What does this feel like?
Naruto carefully sensed it.
I just feel like I haven't changed much.
[but. ]
[When he mobilizes the chakra within his body.]
But they immediately noticed a change.
This change.
This touched Naruto deeply.
[this...]
[His intuition told him so.]
This is absolutely not a power that should exist in the ninja world.
[It has transcended any power system in the ninja world!]
[The power of the Six Paths?]
Those six realms cannot possibly belong to this world!
[call--]
Take a deep breath.
Naruto looked up at the exit.
Everything will have to wait until after we get to the moon.
He had a premonition.
[The source of everything.]
[Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit]
[He's not dead yet.]
The Sage of Six Paths, too, did not die.
[It is very likely related to the world where the soul goes after death.]
[So. ]
There's nothing to hesitate about anymore.
"Let's go."
Naruto grabbed the little hand that was rubbing against his face.
Hinata Natsume nodded with a light smile.
"Yes~"
["Master of the House~"]
Naruto: "..."
[It seems I need to teach this maid a lesson about fear.]
However, now is not the time to think about these things.
He was also somewhat curious.
Is it really possible for a habitable environment to exist on the moon?
Too far away.
Naruto's focus isn't on this right now.
Naturally, there's no way to detect the condition of the lunar surface.
In fact.
If you really want it.
It's actually quite simple.
[Tell Orochimaru.]
Orochimaru will naturally find a way.
For example, a telescope can be made using the principle of a magnifying glass.
[Until the lunar surface becomes visible.]
"Where are we going?"
Hinata Natsu asked softly.
"Snowy ground."
[Having said that.]
Naruto simply swept Hyuga Natsu up in his arms.
[Whoosh—]
The two disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Huahuo, who was still waiting outside for the two, was taken aback.
[Then she stomped her foot angrily.]
[You're not taking her out to play again!]
[They even made them stand here as punishment!]
[Bad brother-in-law~!]
Naruto looked down at the puffed-up little firework below, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Hinata Natsume said with some heartache:
"Master, Lady Spark will be angry."
"We can't spoil her too much."
"She even dares to bully you while I'm not around."
Hinata Natsu: "..."
[Hanabi-sama has indeed become much more unrestrained than before.]
[but. ]
[This confidence doesn't come from Hyuga.]
[It was clearly given to me by the head of the family himself.]
They always say that children shouldn't be spoiled.
[Even though the head of the family is the one who spoils the most.]
However, Hyuga Natsu didn't object, obediently nodding and responding to Naruto's words.
Naruto smiled and moved on from the topic.
Then, it flew out of the village.
[Kagura's perception is maximized.]
[Within our perception, on the outermost layer, lies that flickering existence.]
This puzzled him somewhat.
Are there any members of the Hyuga clan who specialize in puppetry?
Hinata Natsumi thought for a moment.
He then shook his head and said:
"No, right?"
"I have never heard of it, nor have I seen any related records."
Naruto nodded slightly.
But deep down, he had already categorized that special perception as a puppet.
Because only puppets can have this feeling.
[good. ]
His Kagura-like insight has evolved once again.
[but. ]
What Naruto is concerned about right now is...
How to conceal your changes.
He tried several times.
[finally. ]
[After awakening both Rinnegan...]
No, after activating the Rinnegan with the tomoe.
[The Rinnegan with tomoe was not directly deactivated.]
Instead, the magatama was disabled.
It felt as easy as turning off the Sharingan.
[The Rinnegan returns to its normal state.]
[It was at this moment.]
All the changes on Naruto's body that he suspected were related to Kaguya Otsutsuki had disappeared.
[Close the Rinnegan.]
[My body has returned to normal.]
Throughout the entire process, Hinata Natsumi watched quietly.
The worry in her eyes gradually faded.
This maid really did get Naruto to accept her presence very quickly.
[Very well-behaved.]
[Also very smart.]
[Everyday she loves to say that she's the older sister.]
But she acts like a spoiled, affectionate younger sister.
[The girls in the evening are not much different in age.]
[I don't feel that way at all; I still really enjoy the attentions of those naughty aunties who suck up to kids.]
[Tsunade seems like a mother figure again...]
Only Hyuga Natsu gave Naruto that older sister feeling.
Therefore, Naruto chose to bring her along this time.
[That also meant I'd expressed my feelings to Hinata.]
Naruto's flying speed wasn't very fast.
[Hyuga Natsumi's appearance showed no change.]
But the arms that were wrapped around Naruto tightened involuntarily.
[Obviously.]
She was still a little scared at that height.
My heart is beating very fast.
Even if Naruto's hearing wasn't that amazing, just at a normal level, he could hear everything clearly.
Naruto chuckled softly.
[Take advantage of the situation.]
The maid then abandoned her reserve.
She pressed her little face against Naruto's chest.
[Listen to the strong heartbeat.]
[And a wave of warmth.]
The older maid gradually felt at ease.
Once she had adjusted, Naruto began to accelerate.
[We're still quite far from where we sensed the fluctuations in the barrier array.]
Therefore, acceleration is necessary.
[And after confirming that what the other side sent to the ninja world was a puppet.]
Naruto doesn't need to worry about any "escaping the net."
[certainly. ]
The journey there continued with a thorough, door-to-door search.
Whether they are friend or foe, Naruto doesn't care.
Since they dared to trespass on our territory, we should capture them first, regardless of whether they are friend or foe.
[good. ]
The entire ninja world is practically Naruto's territory now.
The ninja world will soon be a thing of the past.
This continent will henceforth belong to the Land of Whirlpools.
[Vortex boundary.]
