Not long after Tsunade left, two Anbu agents carried Naruto toward Konoha's shelter when Uchiha Hikari appeared before them.
The moment they saw the Otogakure forehead protectors on Hikari's brow, they immediately became vigilant, but such efforts were useless against Uchiha Hikari's Sharingan.
Uchiha Hikari revealed her Mangekyō Sharingan, and the two Anbu agents immediately fell under a genjutsu.
Uchiha Hikari stepped forward and cleanly disposed of the two Anbu agents before casting a healing ninjutsu on Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes at last and saw the person before him. "It's Sister Hikari."
Hikari nodded coldly, then in an instant plunged Naruto into a genjutsu.
Within the genjutsu, Hyuga Kei's chakra clone stood before Naruto.
"Kishu, why are you here?" Naruto had been in Tailed Beast Transformation the entire time and had no idea that Chiba Kishu had invaded Konoha.
Kishu clapped his hands, and various scenes appeared behind him. "I came to invite you to join my plan."
"What?" Even half-corrupted, Naruto could not shake off his airheaded nature.
"We are exploring a ninjutsu that can bring the dead back to life—Heavenly Mandate Rebirth. Join us, and in the future, I will have the power to revive your parents. What do you think of those terms?"
"Imagine it—you will have the chance to reunite with your departed family and reclaim those beautiful days you once lost. This is an opportunity to change your fate, a chance to make your family whole again."
Hyuga Kei extended his hand, signaling Naruto to take it.
Hearing Hyuga Kei's tempting offer, Naruto fell into a struggle. But then he remembered his father's words, telling him to find Pervy Sage.
Naruto shook his head and refused Hyuga Kei's proposal. "Sorry, Brother Kishu, I can't agree to this for now. Where is this?
