The Seventh Hokage Is No Reason to Make Me Bring Lord Orochimaru Here to Interrogate You

Hinata suddenly understood. "I see!"

Others might not have understood Sasuke's cryptic reminder, but how could she, Naruto's wife, not know?

She had heard Naruto recount the Fourth Great Ninja War countless times, and had even met the spirit of Hamura Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, on the moon. Naturally, she knew quite a bit about the legends of the Sages and gods.

She assumed it was the Sage of Six Paths who had helped Sasuke once again.

So she didn't press the matter.

What she cared about more, of course, was Naruto.

"What about Naruto?"

"He's still sealed away by the enemy..."

"What?!"

Hinata was shocked. Naruto had never been captured by anyone since the Fourth Great Ninja War!

"Naruto will be safe for now. Don't worry."

Sasuke looked at Hinata and gave her a reassuring nod.

She calmed down a little.

As Naruto's best friend and longtime partner, Sasuke wouldn't lie to her. If he said Naruto wasn't in mortal danger, then it had to be true.

Otherwise, Sasuke would be more desperate than anyone to rescue Naruto!

"Then where is Naruto? Can we go save him now?"

"The enemy must have sealed Naruto away somewhere in secret. I'll find a way to rescue him. You don't need to worry just yet."

"Okay!"

Sasuke's Six Paths chakra cloak and the Truth-Seeking Orbs floating around him were certainly convincing enough to ease Hinata and the others' worries, at least for the moment.

If even Sasuke couldn't bring Naruto back, they would be even more helpless.

"By the way, what about Kawaki?"

"He's fine too. The Kāma on his body has disappeared, so the enemy shouldn't be able to track him anymore."

"Thank goodness. If anything happened to him, Naruto would be heartbroken."

Hinata had no prejudice
