[Seriously, what could possibly happen so late at night? This is Konoha, how could anything unexpected happen here?]
Seeing Sakura chase after her, Naruto said, puzzled.
"I don't know why I'm suddenly so angry. Is Naruto's personality really like Minato's?" Kushina said, somewhat puzzled.
Minato was so romantic when he was pursuing me, so why did he become so clueless when it came to Naruto?
[Mikoto: Really? I remember Kushina hated Minato back then, and she would always talk behind his back that he was a Minato...]
[Kushina: Stop talking, Mikoto, um, that... I don't think I remember.]
Kushina said embarrassedly. Now that you mention it, Kushina Minato that Minato's emotional intelligence wasn't very high, and she had misunderstood him back then.
At this moment, the once peaceful Konoha was suddenly attacked by an unknown force.
A dozen or so puppet-like figures with moon symbols tattooed on their Forehead Protector brazenly infiltrated the Hyuga Clan's territory.
[Hyuga Hiashi:...]
No, when did our Hyuga Clan become a noisy place? You can come and go as you please, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?
A dozen or so puppets quickly searched for something until they reached the last room.
Hanabi was in the last room, sensed the stranger's arrival and picked up her Kunai, her eyes fixed on the door.
However, the moment the door was opened, Hanabi was easily snatched away.
(This tells us that if you encounter someone selling children, you should call out to them as loudly as possible.)
Hinata Hyuga was on her way home at the time, was probably unaware of everything that had happened.
What bad luck! I went out to deliver a gift to my crush, only to find him surrounded by young girls, and my own sister had been kidnapped.
Hinata hadn't even eaten dinner late at night.
"That person looks like Hanabi?" At this moment, in a scenic spot, Sai, who was sketching realistically, seemed to have spotted Hanabi Hyuga Clan.
A stranger who suddenly appears is clearly not a good person.
"Super Beast Imitating Drawing!" Sai simply drew an eagle and chased after it.
[Inoichi Yamanaka: Konoha is indeed full of talented people. I think this boy was Naruto's teammate before.]
I didn't expect someone so young to have such strength. Not bad, young man.
At this moment, Hinata is imagining confessing her feelings to Naruto under a streetlamp.
"Naruto, so much time has passed, and I've always silently watched your back. But from now on, I want to stay by your side forever," Hinata said shyly.
"This is a scarf I knitted with my heart; I hope you'll accept it," Hinata said to herself.
"Okay, one more time, Naruto." Hinata felt the effect was fantastic.
Just as I was preparing for the second round of practice, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Hinata?" It turned out to be Naruto was just about to go home.
"Hello, Naruto," Hinata replied in a voice barely above a whisper, her earlier bravado completely gone.
"Ha, didn't we just bump into each other at Ichiraku Ramen?"
"That's true," Hinata replied instinctively, but then suddenly looked up and saw a very exquisite scarf around Naruto's neck.
"Your scarf is so pretty..." Hinata asked tentatively.
"Is this pretty?" Naruto asked, a happy look on his face.
[Hyuga Hiashi: Minato, does your Naruto have another woman in his life?]
Hyuga Hiashi said doubtfully, "Maybe after Naruto becomes a hero of Konoha, he really won't look down on Hinata anymore."
After all, besides being a little prettier, a little gentler, a little richer, a little kinder, and so on, Hinata doesn't seem to have anything else.
[Minato Namikaze: How is that possible, Hiashi?]
Minato quickly explained that he was really satisfied with Hinata and Kushina, but he genuinely had no idea what was going on with that scarf.
[Kushina: Honestly, how could Naruto be bewitched by a bad woman? Has he forgotten what his mother told him?]
Kushina said somewhat angrily, "I can't let Naruto drive my future daughter-in-law away like this."
"Gurgle!"
At this moment, Hinata's stomach, which hadn't eaten all night, started rumbling rather uncooperatively.
"What? You're clearly hungry. If you don't mind eating instant noodles, come to my house..." Naruto invited Hinata to his house for instant noodles as soon as he saw that she hadn't eaten. Note that he meant instant noodles.
"I won't bother you any longer." Hinata became even more shy after hearing this and ran out without daring to wait a moment longer.
"Wait Hinata, didn't you want to see me about something?" Naruto asked, somewhat puzzled.
[Hyuga Hiashi: Huh? Even if our Hyuga Clan is poor, we can still afford a midnight snack.]
Hiashi no longer has any good feelings towards Naruto. Since he doesn't like his own daughter, there are plenty of other men who do. I refuse to believe she won't be able to get married.
[Otsutsuki Toneri:...(peeking through the screen)]
Really, Father-in-law? Then your son-in-law is right here...
[Hyuga Hiashi: Get lost.]
You tried to steal my daughter and then hit me too. How did you have the nerve to show your face like this?
Hinata was sitting alone in the park at this moment.
It seems that the scarf Naruto was wearing really bothered her. Everyone says it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, but it doesn't seem like Hinata's pursuit was easy at all.
Looking at the scarf she had knitted over countless nights, realizing it was probably useless now, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Why are you crying? You'll get your scarf dirty." A mysterious figure appeared in front of Hinata.
It was none other than Otsutsuki Toneri had just instructed his underlings to steal Hanabi.
"I don't need it anymore." Hinata was still unaware of what had happened.
"I am Toneri, here to greet you." Otsutsuki Toneri slowly walked into the lamplight, his albinism-like skin proving his Otsutsuki Clan bloodline.
"Welcome me?" Hinata had no idea what this person wanted.
However, it was clear that Toneri had no intention of talking about martial ethics. He directly had the puppet control Hinata, and then condensed a green Chakra ball from his palm.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Hinata struggled.
Just as the green ball was about to enter Hinata's body, Naruto finally arrived.
"What do you think you're going to do to Hinata!" Enraged, Naruto swung his fist and charged at Toneri, but Toneri easily dodged it.
At the same time, countless humanoid puppets surrounded Naruto.
At this point, Naruto was still confident and dealt with these little Karami with ease, one punch after another, without any pressure whatsoever.
Without further ado, Otsutsuki Toneri, along with his underlings and Hinata, prepared to leave.
How could Naruto let him leave, even though they were surrounded by the other party's humanoid puppets?
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Is Konoha really that unsafe? How could they let someone break in and kidnap us?]
In response, Tōko Kotetsu and Izumo Kamizuki stated that they were only responsible for those entering through the main gate, and that others were not under their jurisdiction.
It's obvious that Otsutsuki Toneri didn't come in through the main gate.
