You're done for-you've fallen in love!

Dinner time.

The two people and the insect ate in the spacious cave.

As usual, the Slug Sage ate algae, while Kanami and Hinata took out their cup noodles to eat.

Compared to the past, Kanami ate much faster this time, even faster than Hinata.

He was simply thinking about how to convey the Tree Spirit's thoughts to the Slug Sage.

Let's Gate of Opening?

Kanami had considered this, but after careful consideration, he felt it was better to probe from the side, since he was living under someone else's roof—no, under a parasite's roof.

We should at least side with the Slug Sage. If he happens to have a good impression of the Tree Spirit, then it wouldn't hurt to Gate of Opening straightforward.

If the other party feels that the Tree Spirit is unsuitable and Gate of Opening, the subsequent interactions will likely be somewhat awkward.

What he didn't know was that the Slug Sage was eating faster than usual because he knew Kanami might bring up this matter, and he was feeling uneasy.

As someone who's been single for millennia, it would be a lie to say she's not lonely, but if you actually asked her to fall in love with a tree, she honestly doesn't know what she'd think.

Even when she discovered the Tree Spirit a few days ago, instead of driving it away, she let it stay. She herself didn't know what she was thinking when she let the Tree Spirit stay.

Compassion and kindness are my finest qualities as Sage. I must have taken pity on him to let him stay in the Slug Forest!

As the Slug Sage chewed on the green algae in its mouth, it thought to itself.

She then glanced at Kanami again, because her eyes were on the two antennae on her head, so she dared to look at Kanami boldly without fear of being discovered.

'What if he suddenly asks me what I think of Tree Spirit spirits? Ugh, so annoying! I haven't decided yet!'

Thinking of this, the Slug Sage chewed much faster.

What Kanami and the Slug Sage didn't know was that Hinata could immediately tell that the person and the insect in front of her were acting strangely.

Since she mastered Natural Energy, her five senses have been enhanced in every way, and she can easily sense even the slightest changes in a person or an insect!

'It seems like there's something going on between those two...'

Hinata slurped her cup of noodles, blinking her big eyes, glancing at Kanami one moment and then at the Slug Sage the next.

She even forgot to ask the question that had suddenly popped into her head.

But what could possibly happen between one person and one insect?

Hinata's simple-minded mind couldn't think of anything.

Unbeknownst to them, the three of them continued this mechanical repetition...

Kanami and Hinata, instant noodles, slurp, instant noodles, slurp...

The Slug Sage then adds a snack, chews, adds another snack, chews...

By the time the two people and the insect realized what was happening, they had already eaten a day's worth of food in one meal.

Kanami glanced weakly at the Slug Sage, then lowered his eyes again.

"Sigh, it's not that I don't want to help you, senior, it's just that I don't know where to start. Let's do it another day, senior shouldn't be in a hurry."

Kanami muttered to himself.

"Let's go."

Kanami took Hinata's hand and hurried towards the cave he had created.

"Oh, see you tomorrow, Lord Katsuyu."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Hinata."

The Slug Sage let out a slight sigh of relief.

'Thankfully, Kanami didn't ask me that question...'

Hinata, who was being pulled along, nodded to the Slug Sage and then followed Kanami.

The Slug Sage's cave was very large, a hundred meters high, and could easily accommodate two people.

But as couples deeply in love know, it's inconvenient in front of outsiders!

Therefore, Kanami had long ago built a dwelling a little further away using the "Wood Release Three Rooms One Hall Technique".

After returning to their lodgings, the two took a quick shower and lay down on the soft, comfortable bed.

Just as Hinata was getting ready to fall asleep, her eyes suddenly widened, and she sat up halfway in bed.

She realized that she had been so preoccupied with Kanami and the Slug Sage that she hadn't even answered her own question yet!

Noticing Hinata's movement, Kanami turned his head to look at Hinata, asking curiously, "What's wrong, Hinata?"

Just after asking the question, Kanami's gaze froze, and he stared at Hinata, somewhat lost in thought.

Hinata's long, glossy black hair and fair skin, paired with the simple white blouse she wore, added a touch of beauty to her already adorable appearance.

The two had been together for a year, and the changes each day were so subtle that they could hardly notice the changes in each other.

If they have a habit of taking photos, comparing photos from a year ago with their current appearances reveals significant changes in both of them.

If the Short Hair Hinata Hyuga was lively and cute before, the long- Hinata Hyuga now is beautiful, charming, and serene.

Of course, that's assuming you don't look at her big, clear eyes that reveal a hint of naivety.

"Feng... Kanami, is there something dirty on my face?"

Hinata noticed that Kanami was staring blankly at her, and a slight blush appeared on Hinata face.

Kanami only then realized what was happening.

He quickly swallowed.

Then, just like Hinata, he sat up halfway and gently scratched his face with his index finger.

He said, "No, it's Hinata is too beautiful."

Hearing Kanami's praise, Hinata lowered her head slightly, a smile spreading across her face.

Hinata then glanced sideways at Kanami's face a few times, murmuring:

"Kanami has changed too..."

Compared to Hinata's long hair that already reaches her shoulders, Kanami's bright red hair is a bit longer than her previous Short Hair, but it still falls into the category of Short Hair.

Kanami found it troublesome to take care of his long hair every day, so he often used Wind Release: Random Cut. Over time, he became skilled enough to use Wind Release to become a barber.

What happened?

Kanami asked again.

"Oh, right..."

Hinata's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she nodded slightly.

Turning to look at Kanami, his expression slightly grave, he said, "Today, as you instructed, I followed my own path of cultivation, and a strange thought suddenly popped into my head."

It felt the same familiarity I had with the giant statue in my mind.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Hinata recalled those words and repeated them in that weary tone, "Byakugan Princess, we cannot let the Shinobi World my brother created be destroyed..."

!

Upon hearing Hinata repeat her words, Kanami's body trembled, and goosebumps rose all over his body!

They came in a hurry and left in a hurry, returning to normal in an instant.

Kanami naturally knew what those words meant.

Otsutsuki Hamura!

The younger brother of Hagoromo Otsutsuki of Sage of Six Paths!

'But how could this have been said so far in advance!'

Kanami's face was grim.

I thought I knew the plot well, and even if the timeline was slightly earlier, with my current Chakra Tons, I could do whatever I wanted in the Shinobi World.

However Otsutsuki Hamura's words mean that Otsutsuki Toneri's plan is very likely to be brought forward!

'Am I capable of fighting that guy now...?'

Without realizing it, Kanami's fist had already clenched.

Neither Obito Uchiha, nor Madara Uchiha, nor Black Zetsu rescuing his mother put Kanami under such immense pressure.

Only Otsutsuki Toneri made him feel unprecedented pressure, because the other party wanted more than just to rewrite the world created by the Sage of Six Paths.

Most importantly, he has Hinata Hyuga since he was a child!

In the final chapter of the Last: Naruto the Movie, Otsutsuki Toneri gouged out the eyes of his Sister-in-law -law, Hanabi Hyuga, merging them into the Tenseigan, and also kidnapped Hinata Hyuga!

Now that we know the outcome, we must not let that happen again.
