After dying, Hinata was reborn as Hyuga Hiashi’s daughter in the Naruto World, where her wishes granted her Supreme Ancient Hua’s powers and an Idle System.

• Uchiha Fugaku saw the Black Shadow shrinking into its own shadow and urged everyone to stop it.

After the Black Shadow vanished, the Hidden Leaf Village investigated while Kumogakure accused it of killing their leader. Hinata discovered that her enhanced vision could see the Black Shadow’s strange energy, and she confronted a Kumogakure operative who had come to abduct her.

• Hizashi Hyuga said the Black Shadow had no trace of Chakra and was unlike the Masked Man, while Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the village to check for casualties.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hidden Leaf elders discussed Black Shadow and the Cloud Village’s motives, then confronted the delegation with a fabricated account of how their leader and several others had died. The Cloud Village delegation was left confused and doubtful after Hiruzen claimed the victims’ bodies had been reduced to ashes.

• Sarutobi Hiruzen learned that the Hyuga Clan had sealed Black Shadow in a scroll, while Danzo tried and failed to claim it for Root.
• Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura stopped Danzo from taking the scroll, and Sarutobi Hiruzen suspected the Cloud Village had come seeking the Byakugan.
• The Cloud Village delegation returned to demand an explanation for their leader’s death, and Sarutobi Hiruzen led them to a courtyard full of corpses.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen claimed Hidden Leaf patrol ninja had mistaken the Cloud Village members for intruders and ordered the guilty ninja executed.
• The Cloud Village delegation noticed their people’s bodies were missing, and Sarutobi Hiruzen claimed they had been reduced to ashes.

After the Cloud Village Delegation left, Sarutobi Hiruzen investigated the Hyuga Clan’s surveillance of the village and learned that more Black Shadows might appear. Hyuga Hiashi kept Hinata’s extraordinary Byakugan abilities secret, while worrying that she had rarely opened her eyes since her birthday banquet.

• The Cloud Village Delegation signed the peace treaty and left, and Sarutobi Hiruzen rebuked Danzo for wanting to use the dead prisoners as test subjects.
• Researchers in an underground laboratory struggled to identify the Black Shadow, which resisted physical attacks, weakened ninjutsu, and could not stay sealed for long.
• Hyuga Hiashi told Sarutobi Hiruzen that the Black Shadow was made of energy throughout the world and that more would appear, prompting Hiruzen to seek the Hyuga Clan’s help with research.
• After Hiruzen left, Hyuga Hiashi recalled that Hinata had predicted another Black Shadow and revealed that her Byakugan surpassed his own despite her being only three years old.
• Hyuga Hiashi worried because Hinata had rarely opened her eyes since the banquet, and she had explained that she was shutting down some of her eyes’ functions because they saw too much.

Hinata struggled to control her Byakugan after it began showing her the hostile energy surrounding the world, and she shut off her vision while reassuring Hyuga Hiashi. Two months after the Black Shadow appeared, a merchant brought the Hidden Leaf Village a commission to investigate an entire village’s massacre.

• Hinata found that chaotic, twisted energy had overwhelmed her vision and triggered her eyes’ self-protection, making it difficult to see normally or switch the ability off.
• Hinata decided to shut down her eyes’ functions, and Hyuga Hiashi noticed something was wrong and urged her to tell him if she needed help.
• Two months after the Black Shadow appeared, a frightened merchant arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village to request an investigation into a village where everyone had disappeared.
• The merchant explained that he had found the village empty except for stray cats and dogs, and one guard recognized a cat that belonged to the family near the village chief’s house.

A merchant and his six guards investigated a deserted village and discovered a family’s decaying corpses, only to be attacked by supernatural ropes. The ropes hanged and decapitated the guards, while the merchant escaped the village by crawling away.

• The merchant and his guards entered a house in the deserted village and found two decaying headless bodies and a child’s corpse.
• A rope descended from the sky and hanged the guard who had asked where it came from.
• More ropes seized the merchant’s guards, tightened around their necks, and severed their heads.
• The merchant panicked as the ropes appeared around him, but a leg cramp forced him to crawl toward safety.
• The merchant crawled out of the village and escaped.

Hinata investigated a merchant’s account of a Bizarre Creature by searching for the village where it had attacked. She found the abandoned village and traces of the creature, but not its body, then fell asleep from the strain of using her Byakugan.

• Hyuga Hiashi told Hinata that a merchant had escaped a Bizarre Creature and reached the Hidden Leaf Village, but Hinata showed little reaction.
• Hinata gradually undid the seals she had placed on her Byakugan after realizing its enhanced vision strained her brain.
• After finishing her meal, Hinata searched for the village the merchant had described and found it after half an hour.
• Hinata found bloodstains and traces of a Bizarre Creature in the abandoned village, but no corpses, ropes, or sign of the creature itself.
• Hinata stopped searching to rest, fell asleep, and woke at dinner to learn that Hyuga Hiashi was away handling something.

Hinata reflected on the Bizarre Creatures and decided she would act if she encountered them, while the Hidden Leaf Village studied the sealed Black Shadow and experimented with making it a Jinchuriki. The chapter ended as a new creature appeared near a guarded merchant and the village prepared to respond.

• Hinata learned that her father had been summoned by Anbu and reasoned that the village had discovered a clue about the Bizarre Creatures.
• Hinata considered whether the creatures’ chaotic energy had come from beyond the world or appeared because her soul had crossed into it, but concluded that hunting them all was unrealistic.
• Hinata resolved not to ignore a Bizarre Creature if she encountered one, while accepting that she would not search endlessly for them.
• A hemp rope descended onto the roof of the earthen hut where shinobi guarded a sick merchant, and a watcher reported that the target had appeared.
• The Third Hokage and the major clan heads discussed the Black Shadow, whose abilities had been studied after it was sealed.
• The Hidden Leaf Village sealed the Black Shadow inside a human body and found that its Jinchuriki could wield all of its power.

Sarutobi Hiruzen learned that Bizarre Creatures were multiplying across the Shinobi World, killing ninja and civilians, and might be powerful enough to face entire armies. He convened a meeting with the clan heads, who struggled to find a response because the Hidden Leaf Village lacked enough ninja.

• The Third Hokage made a loyal Jonin Black Shadow's Jinchuriki and assigned three Sealing Squads to maintain his seal.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the Anbu to investigate Chakra-less Bizarre Creatures after wondering whether more than one Black Shadow existed.
• Anbu squads suffered devastating losses while pursuing Bizarre Creatures, and one captured creature killed researchers before being sealed again.

• Sarutobi Hiruzen received reports of dozens of Bizarre Creatures, murders in the Land of Fire, and a village destroyed by one.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen briefed the clan heads, who spent the afternoon discussing the threat but found they had too few ninja to address it.

The Third Hokage and the clan heads tried to capture a Bizarre Creature, but its ropes killed a shinobi and the capture team vanished. Hyuga Hiashi watched the scene from a distance with his Byakugan and saw an evil power covering the area where the Third Hokage and the others stood.

• The Third Hokage ended the clan heads’ meeting and left with Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura after a Ninja Crow signaled that the Bizarre Creature had appeared.
• The shinobi at the temporary house caught the Creature’s rope with Sealing Jutsu-covered ropes, but one shinobi was lifted into the air and strangled to death.
• The Creature’s ropes multiplied, darkness spread, and the remaining shinobi were overwhelmed as corpses appeared beneath their feet.
• The Third Hokage and the others found the merchant dead, one patch of blood, broken ropes, and no sign of the capture team.
• The Third Hokage noticed Hyuga Hiashi and the Hyuga Clan were absent while Anbu reported what they had found.
• Hyuga Hiashi used his Byakugan from a thousand meters away and saw evil power covering a five-hundred-meter area around the Third Hokage and the others.

Hyuga Hiashi reported a sinister space surrounding an isolated house, and the Black Shadow Jinchuriki entered it to recover the captured ninjas and force its contents into a prepared barrier. The barrier trapped the ropes and rotting heads, but they pressed against it and rapidly exhausted the ninjas supplying Chakra.

• Hyuga Hiashi told Sarutobi Hiruzen that an abnormal space surrounded the earthen house, and the Third Hokage gathered the others to assess it.
• The Black Shadow Jinchuriki entered the space, confirmed the missing ninjas were alive, and offered to force the thing inside out.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the Barrier Squad to build a barrier while the Sealing Squad added protective seals.
• The Black Shadow Jinchuriki drew the space’s contents into the barrier, revealing ropes hung with decaying heads, and tossed several surviving ninjas out of his shadow.
• The ropes drifted toward the people outside and pressed against the barrier as the heads stared at them.
• Barrier ninjas began collapsing from Chakra exhaustion, and their replacements quickly weakened as well.

The Third Hokage and the other ninja struggled to keep a barrier around the ropes as headless corpses came to life and attacked it. The corpses merged into a giant, and its first blow threatened the already strained barrier.

• The Third Hokage ordered the barrier contracted as the ropes drained its Chakra.
• The headless corpses began moving, alarming the gathered ninja, and Uchiha Fugaku described what he saw to Hyuga Hiashi.
• The corpses reached the barrier and attacked it, forcing the ninja to increase the Chakra supplied at each node.
• Several black-clad corpses joined the attack, and the Third Hokage recognized them as his Anbu.
• The corpses merged into a five-meter-tall headless giant, which struck the barrier with a palm made of bodies.

Black Shadow's Jinchuriki extracted the headless giant corpse from the barrier, but it escaped his shadow space and advanced on the ninjas. In the rope's subspace, Hinata damaged one corner, escaped the living corpses with a shockwave, and realized that ordinary attacks struggled against the ropes' immense power.

• Black Shadow's Jinchuriki pulled the headless giant corpse through a gap in the barrier, but it tore out of his shadow space and walked toward the nearest person.
• The rope dragged Hinata and several ninjas into its subspace, where Hinata found headless corpses and noticed they had come alive.
• A shadow-form intruder entered the subspace and tried to shake it, giving Hinata a chance to punch a spatial weak point and collapse one corner.
• The intruder used shadows to rescue the living ninjas, while ropes and corpses from the damaged corner fell into the outside world.
• After the subspace healed, Hinata blasted approaching corpses away with Inch-Punch: Thunderbolt and realized that the ropes resisted ordinary attacks because their energy was exceptionally powerful.

Hinata learned to use Sealing Jutsu powered by true qi and sealed the Blood Corpse onto her jacket, while the clan heads sealed the giant corpse outside. With the ropes still multiplying inside the subspace, Hinata turned to sealing the entire three-kilometer space.

• Hinata decided to learn Sealing Jutsu and use true qi to seal the subspace after the ropes trapped her.
• The clan heads struggled against the giant corpse, which reassembled after their ninjutsu destroyed it.
• Hyuga Hiashi broke the giant corpse into five pieces, and the clan heads sealed each piece.
• Hinata sealed the headless Blood Corpse onto her jacket instead of putting it inside her body.
• Hinata gave up on sealing the ropes individually and targeted the entire subspace.

Hinata escaped the sealed subspace by using Sealing Jutsu, then concealed the rope and Blood Corpse inside strands of her hair. The Hidden Leaf Village prepared for more Bizarre Creatures as Hyuga Hiashi kept Hinata inside the clan compound.

• Hinata covered the subspace in sealing runes and warped the space until she escaped into her bedroom.
• Hinata sealed the rope and Blood Corpse inside two strands of her hair and went to bed, leaving the aftermath of the Bizarre Creature attack to the adults.

• Hyuga Hiashi told Hinata not to leave the clan compound, while the Barrier Squad and Sealing Squad modified the Hidden Leaf Village's great barrier.

After two years of preparing for the threat of Bizarre Creatures, Konoha’s young clan heirs began Ninja Academy, where Hinata’s horns and cuteness drew attention from her classmates. The chapter ended as their teacher, Umino Iruka, began the class introductions.

• Konoha trained its ninja in Sealing Jutsu while keeping the strategic value of the Bizarre Creatures from other villages, and two years passed.
• Hyuga Hiashi brought five-year-old Hinata to the Ninja Academy, where passersby admired her and stared at her horns.
• Uchiha Fugaku arrived with Sasuke, who watched Hinata after his father had told him to pay attention to her.
• Hinata sat behind Akimichi Choji, and the boys in class resented him for blocking their view of her.
• Sasuke entered and eyed Hinata and Choji, while Sakura and Ino competed for his attention.
• Uzumaki Naruto arrived just before class, sat beside Hinata, and stared at her horns; Umino Iruka then introduced himself and invited the students to speak.

Hinata attended the Ninja Academy’s opening class while reflecting on how her [Immortal Body] and [Byakugan] had evolved into powerful abilities, including the Tenseigan. She remained uncertain how to advance her abilities further, but planned to keep pursuing growth as the Third Hokage’s speech ended.

• Sasuke watched Hinata during his introduction, while Naruto announced his ambition to become Hokage and Hinata introduced herself briefly.
• Iruka and the Third Hokage explained the Will of Fire to the students.
• Hinata reviewed her System Panel and noted that [Immortal Body] had reached Level 2 and [Byakugan] had evolved into the Tenseigan, granting her control over attraction, repulsion, and space.
• Hinata considered ways to advance her abilities, including combining the Rinnegan with the Tenseigan, but found that Bizarre Creature energy could not be absorbed and set aside the idea of devouring Otsutsuki Kaguya.
• Hinata withdrew her attention from the System Panel when the Third Hokage finished speaking and noticed the students were still listening attentively.

At the Academy, Hinata compressed her True Qi while Iruka taught the students about ghosts, creatures that Hidden Leaf Village could not destroy and that had begun appearing more often. Iruka warned the class to stay calm, learn a ghost’s rules, and act within their limits.

• The Third Hokage finished his speech and left, and Iruka taught the students how to refine Chakra.
• Naruto quickly refined Chakra while Hinata absorbed Nature Energy and compressed her True Qi; her evolving constitution greatly increased how much energy she could hold, so she stopped absorbing it to avoid draining the world.
• After lunch, Iruka wrote “Ghost” on the blackboard and explained that Hidden Leaf Village had discovered the creatures two years earlier and could only contain them with Sealing Jutsu.
• Iruka told the students that ghosts lacked intelligence and followed specific rules, advising them to stay calm, observe those rules, and act within their limits.
• Iruka recalled that more than half of the twenty-plus ninja on a recent ghost operation had died.

Hinata learned that Bizarre Creatures had caused mass deaths across the countries and that the Hidden Leaf Village had begun teaching students how to deal with Oni. After discovering how many Oni the village held and reviewing its research, she found that its knowledge was limited and focused heavily on the creatures’ Jinchuriki.

• The Third Hokage and the village elders decided to teach students about Bizarre Creatures after the Feudal Lord pressured the village to address the growing threat.
• Iruka told the class that Oni could not be killed by any known method and warned that another way of fighting them could permanently damage or kill the user.
• Hinata asked Hyuga Hiashi whether the Hyuga clan had captured any Oni, and he confirmed they held one because the village limited each major clan to a single Oni.
• Hyuga Hiashi revealed that the village could no longer control all the Oni it had captured and had more than twenty Oni Jinchuriki, each monitored by a Sealing Squad.
• Hyuga Hiashi gave Hinata the village’s research reports, and she found that they offered little new information and focused mostly on experiments involving Jinchuriki.

Hinata read the experimental report on Headcutter and tested the creature’s powers before joining her family for a meal. Three years later, she defeated Sasuke again after using a modified Rotation to withstand his Fire Style, leaving their classmates amazed.

• Hinata read the Headcutter report and tested its ropes and blood figure in the empty study.
• Hiashi went to the Hokage Building to demand an explanation for Hinata’s exposure to the Bizarre Creatures, while Hinata ate with her pregnant mother.
• Three years later, Sasuke challenged eight-year-old Hinata to another duel, and their classmates gathered to watch.
• Sasuke used the Great Fireball Technique and the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, but Hinata’s Rotation: Modified dispersed the flames without harming her.
• Hinata beat Sasuke until the teacher stopped the duel, and the watching students were shocked by her technique.

Sasuke returned home beaten after another failed duel with Hinata, while Itachi and Fugaku discussed her skill and the Uchiha Clan’s improving ties with the village. Danzo’s schemes against the Uchiha kept being disrupted by escaped Bizarre Creatures, and the chapter ended with one appearing outside the Root’s entrance as Danzo moved against Shisui.

• Sasuke told Fugaku that Hinata had blocked his ninjutsu with Rotation, then vowed to discover its weakness and defeat her.
• Itachi explained that Rotation was a Hyuga secret technique reputed to provide absolute defense, and recalled witnessing Hinata’s skill and keen instincts.
• Fugaku asked about Shisui, and Itachi said Shisui had been assigned as the Third Hokage’s personal guard.
• Uchiha casualties fighting Bizarre Creatures led the clan to team up with other village ninja, gradually bringing the Uchiha and the village closer.
• Two Bizarre Creatures escaped Danzo’s laboratory, forcing Root to recapture them and delaying Danzo’s plan to discredit the Uchiha.
• When Danzo later tried to take Shisui’s eyes, a Bizarre Creature appeared outside the Root’s entrance.
