Descend to Naruto, Hinata wants to support me?!

In Konoha, a young man was setting up a stall, selling purely handmade crafts like palm-leaf woven grasshoppers.

As Roman tended his stall, he watched the bustling crowds, sighing inwardly.

It had been many years since he'd had that stroke of luck and reincarnated into the Naruto World.

The current year was Konoha Year 54. At this point in time, the Third Great Ninja War was nearing its end, and the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha were about to sign a peace treaty.

In a few more years, the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night would happen, followed by the Six Paths of Pain invading Konoha, and then the Fourth Great Ninja War would break out...

But unfortunately, he didn't have the Chakra talent of a ninja, couldn't cultivate Chakra, and certainly couldn't become a ninja!

Moreover, his parents had passed away early, leaving him an orphan. He could only rely on himself, selling palm-leaf woven grasshoppers and other handicrafts to make a living here.

While sighing inwardly, Roman skillfully wove a grasshopper from palm leaves, a technique he had long mastered.

Just then, a gentle, childlike voice spoke up:

"Excuse me, how much is this wooden grasshopper?"

"Three taels."

Roman answered instinctively, then looked up to see a little girl wearing a white kimono, with black shoulder-length hair, an extremely cute face, and a pair of white eyes.

With just one glance, Roman recognized the little girl in front of him as Hinata, the princess of the Hyuga Clan.

As expected, she would be abducted by the Hidden Cloud Village this year. Of course, the abduction wouldn't succeed; Hiashi Hyuga would stop it.

However, Hiashi Hyuga's brother, Hizashi, would die because of it.

After these thoughts flashed through Roman's mind, he realized Hinata hadn't spoken. Instead, she was gazing at him with her innocent, adorable Byakugan, utterly absorbed, and a strange expression appeared on her innocent, charming face.

?!

Why is she looking at me with such a strange expression?

My appearance isn't strange, is it?

Roman subconsciously touched his face. This action brought Hinata Hyuga out of her trance. She then seemed to remember something and asked the stall owner his name.

Roman said, puzzled, "My name is Roman, just an ordinary small vendor selling handicrafts."

Hinata Hyuga raised her hand to brush back a strand of hair, her gaze at Roman growing even stranger. She murmured softly, "It really is exactly the same... not just the appearance, but the name too. And even the fact that you make handicrafts..."

What's exactly the same?!

As Roman grew more bewildered, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity arose within him, as if Hinata in front of him was incredibly close, like his other half?

This feeling was so sudden that it left Roman a bit dumbfounded:

Hinata is my other half?

My 2D waifu?!

Thinking like that before transmigrating was one thing, but why now, after transmigrating and living as an ordinary person for over ten years, having already accepted my fate? Why am I having such inexplicably absurd thoughts?!

Roman shook his head sharply, trying to clear his mind, and said to Hinata, "One palm-leaf grasshopper is three taels of silver. That's just for the labor."

"I'll pay, but not right now," Hinata Hyuga said, looking directly at Roman. "Now, Roman, please look up and meet my eyes.

"Eyes are the windows to the soul. Look into my eyes, and perhaps you'll understand the connection between us."

Roman felt even more confused hearing this, but he still looked up and met Hinata's gaze.

As their eyes met, Roman felt an even stronger sense of familiarity with Hinata in front of him, as if she truly was his other half, or more accurately, another version of himself?!

???

My thoughts are getting more and more ridiculous, damn it!

Thinking this, Roman helplessly patted his forehead, trying to clear his head. Then he noticed Hinata Hyuga also helplessly patting her clean forehead.

At that, his eyes widened instantly:

Did I just control Hinata's body?!

But how is that possible? I'm just an ordinary person, without a single bit of Chakra in my body.

After his disbelief, Roman received a memory—Hinata's memory.

The memory described Hinata Hyuga.

She was also a transmigrator!

She, too, had been sent to the Naruto World by a Dayun Heavy Truck.

And more importantly, her name before transmigrating was also Roman, and she was skilled in making handicrafts.

Roman's eyes widened after receiving these memories, and a terrifying possibility occurred to him:

That Dayun Heavy Truck didn't just smash his body to pieces; it also shattered his soul into fragments, which then reincarnated into different parts of the Naruto World?!

One part of his soul reincarnated as Roman.

And the other part reincarnated as Hinata Hyuga.

Now, Roman finally understood why he could control Hinata Hyuga's body after looking directly into her eyes—because, at their soulful essence, they were the same person.

And at that very moment, Hinata Hyuga, having also received all of Roman's memories, looked at him with pity. She reached out to Roman and, in her childlike voice, said, "You've had a hard time these past ten-plus years. Come to the Hyuga Clan now. I'll take care of you."

"Huh?"

Roman was stunned. He hadn't expected Hinata Hyuga to say something like that. Wasn't she basically offering to support him? And a five or six-year-old girl at that.

That would be utterly depraved!

As he thought this, Roman's mind flashed back to past memories: cooking alone, weaving grasshoppers from palm leaves by himself, lonely and destitute, even hand-crafting straw sandals.

After recalling these things, Roman fell into a painful reverie, and his thoughts underwent a fundamental shift:

Even though weaving straw sandals and palm leaf grasshoppers can still sustain me, going to the Hyuga Clan to live off Hinata Hyuga would open up so many more possibilities!

After all, Hinata Hyuga is essentially another me. There's nothing wrong with living off myself.

Roman quickly said, "I'll just pack up."

"No need to pack, just come with me. The Hyuga Clan doesn't care about a few small things like that. When we get back to the clan, I'll feed you the best food!"

Hinata Hyuga's voice remained gentle and soft.

However, these words, falling on Roman's ears, were like celestial music, striking him right in the heart and making him display the brightest smile he'd had since his transmigration.

Meanwhile, the vendors on both sides who witnessed this all widened their eyes in shock:

Roman, a guy who sold straw sandals and shoddy handicrafts, rarely got any business, and could barely even make ends meet, was actually favored by the Hyuga Clan's young lady!

And taken away by her!

Was he going to become a child groom and marry into the Hyuga Clan?

Had he completely struck it rich?!!

Holy crap!
