Three Divine Group Disbands and Goes Solo?

Ichiraku Ramen.

'Gurgle gurgle...'

Naruto finished the soup in his bowl, then, with chopsticks in his right hand, pointed at the Uncle Teuchi and shouted boldly, "Another bowl, please!"

'Bang!'

After stacking the sixth bowl of noodles, Naruto turned to Hinata and asked curiously, "Huh? Hinata, it seems like your appetite has shrunk after all these years?"

Hinata pouted. "Maybe it's because I'm getting old!"

As Hinata gets older, she can no longer eat and drink as much as she did when she was a child.

At least in front of outsiders... Absolutely not!

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then Outer Path, "What? Hinata very young! She's still a long way from Tsunade's age!"

"And Tsunade seems to have quite a big appetite!"

Kakashi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his right eye, the only part of his body exposed, cautiously looked around.

Although Tsunade is no longer nearby, the Anbu will surely relay Naruto's words verbatim to Tsunade!

Kakashi, who had once worked in the Anbu, knew all too well that while the Anbu members might seem cold and ruthless, carrying out their missions like machines, quite a few of them were actually secretly passionate.

Hinata ignored Naruto, Uncle Teuchi brought over the ramen. Naruto forgot everything in an instant and started slurping the noodles.

"After being away for so many years, this is the taste I miss the most!" Naruto, his eyes welling up with tears.

The Uncle Teuchi looked at Naruto with a smile, his face full of satisfaction.

Hinata rested her chin on her hand, watching Naruto eat noodles with a hint of boredom. Kakashi sat on Naruto's other side, motionless like a well-behaved child.

Recalling the test just now, Hinata had to admit that Naruto had really grown a lot.

Although Kakashi is a bit unreliable, he also wanted to test Naruto's growth after their long-awaited Naruto.

Similar to the Original Story, aside from upgrading the Rasengan... well, aside from upgrading the 'Palm Rotation' to the 'Great Ball Palm Rotation', Naruto didn't learn any other ninjutsu.

However, Naruto's growth in other areas was astonishing.

Over the past two years, as her knowledge and experience have grown, Hinata has developed a keen eye for these things.

Naruto Hinata and Sasuke. Hinata and Sasuke were born into large families and had a solid foundation laid by their families from a young age.

But Naruto has always been like a wild ninja; his biggest weaknesses are his basic skills and experience.

Furthermore, Naruto did not inherit Minato Namikaze's intelligence; he was better at memorizing ninjutsu through his body.

Naruto has made significant improvements in Taijutsu, chakra control, combat experience, and other ninja qualities, making him a Jonin with overall strength.

Moreover, Naruto is a 'Chakuton' type ninja. If he learns a few powerful moves, his strength will improve by Naruto and bounds.

It's clear that Jiraiya was very dedicated, and he was well-suited to teaching ninjas like Naruto.

"Next... it should be Naruto's time to unleash his power!" Hinata thought to herself.

Naruto's ninja talent was actually very strong; even without the Nine-Tails' power, Naruto's ultimate achievements would have far surpassed Jiraiya's.

Tsk tsk!

Hinata gave Kakashi a sympathetic look, which left Kakashi somewhat confused.

Hinata knew exactly how hard Kakashi had worked these past two years. Not only did he secretly train diligently on his own, but he would also occasionally seek out Might Guy for a passionate duel between close friends.

Even so, Kakashi's chakra reserves still limited his growth, and it was only a matter of time before Naruto surpassed him.

Genius can't compete with bloodline, and bloodline can't compete with cheat codes... That's definitely the mainstream in the Ninja World.

"Call--"

Naruto let out a long breath, patted his bulging belly, and sighed contentedly, "Finally, I'm full!"

Hinata rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain, "Looking at how you're wolfing down your food, I thought the Pervy Sage had mistreated you."

Naruto: (╥╯^╰╥)

Isn't that a mistreatment?

Naruto touched his empty wallet and couldn't help but shed sad tears.

"Finished eating?"

Hinata stood up and said, "Naruto, why don't you go home and check on things? Your little brother has already tidied up your house!"

Naruto asked in surprise, "Little brother?"

Hinata couldn't help but remind her, "It's that Konohamaru!"

Naruto wore a nostalgic expression. "It's that guy!"

After the Team 7's meal, Hinata and her two companions went their separate ways.

After strolling around the streets, Hinata slowly walked to the Hokage Rock, casually found a spot to sit down, and looked down at the Konoha.

Kakashi Body Flicker Technique appeared, standing behind Hinata with his hands in his pockets, and looked down following Hinata's gaze.

Hinata didn't turn around or speak. After a long silence, Kakashi broke the silence between them first. "Time flies. It's been so long since I've been here to enjoy the scenery."

"Well enough!"

Hinata pouted and said, "You've been so busy lately."

"What are your plans next?" Kakashi asked. "Do you want to return to Team 7 and continue missions?"

Hinata was a little annoyed. "That's probably what Naruto is thinking!"

Speaking of which, Hinata was quite devoted to Naruto when they were little. Back then, Hinata was eager to work under Naruto and was incredibly kind to her future boss.

Moreover, as Naruto continues to grow and Asura's influence gradually explodes, Naruto will surely become the most watched ninja in the entire Konoha in the future.

However, if Team 7 were reinstated and continued to carry out missions with Naruto, they would undoubtedly be involved in Akatsuki's plans.

Hinata pondered this matter for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

At this point, Hinata no longer needs Naruto's influence to clear Kaguya Otsutsuki. Because as long as her power is strong enough, no one can interfere with Hinata's plans.

Furthermore, Hinata has already won over Sasuke.

Actually... it's mainly because she's lazy, and Hinata is willing to admit it.

Performing missions in the wind and sun must be exhausting!

However, there is one thing that Hinata has to rely on the power of the Original Story.

Although everyone is currently using Akatsuki to collect the Tailed Beasts, Nagato, Obito, and Black Zetsu have different goals.

Hinata is allied with Black Zetsu, which puts Nagato, the Akatsuki leader who is brought into the open, in a somewhat awkward position.

Nagato wanted was peace.

Once Nagato revives the Ten-Tails, Nagato will use the power of the Rinnegan to control Ten-Tails and use Ten-Tails power to intimidate the Shinobi World.

As for the so-called resurrection of Madara Uchiha...

Clearly, neither Black Zetsu nor Madara Uchiha had any backup plans for Nagato. Otherwise, Madara Uchiha could have easily revived Nagato when he revived the Konoha Ninja in the Original Story Nagato.

Furthermore, Nagato is incapable of using 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'.

Given that Nagato was destined to die, the manner of his death became extremely important.
