The Byakugan That Couldn't See a Spiderweb, the Shadow Clone That Couldn't Reach Its Back

"There's a village ahead!" A village that looked quite old came into view.

"It might be a village from hundreds of years ago. Everyone, split up and search." At this moment, Shikamaru, as the commander, immediately ordered everyone to disperse.

Naruto and Hinata were assigned to the same team as usual.

"Does this look like a war has taken place here?" Naruto asked, looking at the traces of war left on the wall.

"Ha!" Hinata's scream suddenly came from the room next door.

Hinata, what's wrong?

At this moment, Naruto didn't care about any traces and sprinted to the next room at top speed.

At that moment, Naruto noticed some spider webs tangled in Hinata's hair.

"You can see far away with your Byakugan, but you're tangled in a spider web right in front of you. You're so absent-minded." Although Naruto said this, he very considerately cleaned the spider web Hinata's head one by one.

Hinata sat quietly in place, her face showing a shy expression.

[Mitarashi Anko: Ugh, what is this? Why did I, a single person, have to see this?!]

[Mei Terumi: Why can she see the Byakugan in the distance but not the spider web up close? Because her gaze is entirely focused on you.]

[Minato Namikaze: Go for it, Naruto! I believe in you!]

As Naruto and Hinata's relationship gradually got back on track, Minato Namikaze rarely showed the expression of a father.

[Uchiha Fugaku: Itachi, huh? You're not young anymore, it's time to find a girl you're close to. I think Izumi, who's always following you around, is pretty good.]

[Uchiha Izumi:?? (Surprised)]

[Uchiha Itachi:?? (shocked)]

Father, you're not joking, are you? I haven't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, is it appropriate to say something like this?

Furthermore, I'm really not interested in young girls, no, I'm not interested in mature women either, and I'm not interested in married women.

Actually, Itachi had no idea of Fugaku's good intentions. In order to get Itachi out of the poison of that Fire Consciousness as soon as possible, Fugaku had to make Itachi fall in love as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't be thinking about things like Hokage all day long.

If all else fails, you can become someone like Obito, but I'm talking about Obito before he Darkness.

That guy certainly wouldn't come up with the idea of wiping out the Uchiha Clan, though it's also possible he simply couldn't think of it.

[Shisui Uchiha: Hahaha, I never thought Little Itachi would have a day like this.]

At this point, Shisui had completely transformed into a fun-loving person.

At this moment, Naruto seemed to have suddenly gained emotional intelligence, or perhaps he was possessed by Minato.

Not only did he hold Hinata's hand very considerately, but he also personally fed Hinata water.

It could be said that it instantly escalated the relationship between the two, perhaps because the Genjutsu at the time made Naruto suddenly realize the truth.

Otsutsuki Toneri: The clown is actually myself. I should have known better than to use that Genjutsu. I should have just honestly destroyed the Earth.

"Where are you going?" Hinata asked when Naruto suddenly stood up, as she was eating.

"Oh, I'm going to the bathroom." Before Naruto could finish speaking, he was immediately entangled in a spider web.

What's going on? Where did this spider web come from? Are you trying to ambush me, Naruto Uzumaki?

It's obvious that the best player of this match is the unknown spider, who easily ambushed Naruto even Kaguya couldn't.

Naruto, caught off guard, fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Hinata asked, quickly approaching him with concern.

"I think I hurt my back in the fall," Naruto said uncertainly.

Then Hinata pulled out a jar of medicine for treating external injuries from somewhere.

[Hozuki Mangetsu: Is she going to steal Sakura's job?]

[Neji: Our Hyuga Clan's scouts always carry some medicine for treating external injuries, just in case.]

[Hozuki Mangetsu: Why didn't you use that when Obito attacked you?]

Hozuki Mangetsu asked, somewhat out of sheer curiosity.

[Obito:...]

Neji:...

I'd like to use it, but it depends on whether you allow it. In that situation, I'm already doing well enough to finish my last words, okay?

Naruto recognized the medicine in Hinata's hand very well.

"I remember you brought me medicine during the Chunin Ninja Exams too," Naruto said nostalgically.

"So Naruto still remembers what happened back then." Hinata was a little surprised.

"Actually, I've always remembered." Naruto lied without even blushing. I'm reporting you, you clearly only remembered it when you were using Genjutsu.

Hinata couldn't help but laugh as she watched Naruto clumsily applying medicine to his back.

Hinata gently took the medicine from Naruto's hand and began to apply it to Naruto.

"Speaking of which, about Toneri..." Hinata was interrupted just as she was about to say something.

"Naruto Hinata, we've made some discoveries here," Sai suddenly appeared and interrupted.

[Inoichi Yamanaka: I take back what I said earlier, this young man doesn't seem very bright.]

[Orochimaru: Not necessarily. I think he just hasn't experienced many emotions and doesn't understand these things very well.]

Orochimaru knew exactly what kind of people came from Root, so in Orochimaru's eyes, this person named Sai was already extremely lucky.

Let us also remember the great founder of Root, the Shinobi World's Pot Kage, Konoha's 5.5, Danzo.

I forgot to tell you, Danzo, that when I asked you for funding under the guise of researching Wood Release, it was actually for other experiments. Also, those expense reports for the experimental equipment were fabricated by me.

How could one piece of experimental equipment cost several Asuma? I simply want to squeeze some funds out of you.

Let's remember Danzo once again. Since then, Orochimaru has become much harder to fool—no, I mean, harder to get research funding.

Meanwhile, the group discovered an ancient text elsewhere.

"When the Tenseigan, the Fist of the Moon will bring about the extinction of humanity."

It has to be said that the person who wrote this sentence had quite a boastful tone.

[Madara Uchiha: Hmph, arrogant.]

Madara Uchiha never intended to destroy the Earth, and he would never allow anyone to do so.

[Otsutsuki Toneri: This is not arrogance, but a divine prophecy and the mission of our clan.]

[Obito: Isn't your mission to protect Otsutsuki Kaguya?]

[Obito: Also, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time, why didn't you guys do anything about it after Otsutsuki Kaguya broke free of her seal?]

At this moment, Obito uttered a soul-searching question.

[Otsutsuki Toneri: I... our duty is to guard the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; the Founding Father's affairs are none of our concern.]

[Obito: But Demonic Statue of the Outer Path summoned the Gedo Mazo too, didn't he?]

The naive Obito asked this question.

Madara Uchiha suddenly seemed to be deep in thought. He hadn't encountered any obstacles when he summoned the spirits before. Was this what they called guarding?
