Hinata: (⊙o⊙) Huh?

'Ouch, I can't suck anymore, this stone statue is really draining me dry!'

Kanami felt that the Chakra Tons in his body was decreasing, and he was somewhat worried.

Hinata noticed Kanami's subtle expression and asked, "Kanami, are you not feeling well...? Perhaps you should..."

No?!

What?!

Say no to a man!

"I can do it! You're still a long way from being able to stop me!"

A sunny smile spread across Kanami's face.

"Really?

Hinata asked uncertainly.

She could clearly see that Kanami's face was covered in fine sweat, and he was obviously feeling weak.

"If Kanami's face turns as pale as mine did before, I'll destroy it!"

Hinata made a silent vow in her heart, while her eyes remained fixed on Kanami's face at all times.

After some time had passed, in Hinata's deep consciousness, Kanami was unable to accurately perceive the speed at which time was passing.

He wasn't sure if a minute or an hour had passed, but he was extremely tired.

He looked completely drained, as if he had been up for three days and three nights straight, his face haggard.

We can't wait any longer!

Hinata immediately drew her free left hand and gathered Chakra in it, covering it with her palm.

Most of the Chakra that Kanami had supplied to her body disappeared, and the pale purple light surged instantly!

A bright light burst forth from Hinata's left hand.

"Gentle Step Single Lion Fist!"

A huge lion's head enveloped Hinata's entire body, and the Wood Release on her body instantly broke free.

Kanami was immediately startled.

Hinata, what are you doing?

"Even if he is my ancestor and may still retain a sliver of consciousness, this will kill you. I'm going to destroy him!"

Hinata's gaze was resolute as she slammed her left hand towards the stone statue's head.

"Boom--"

Hinata's left hand slammed heavily onto the stone statue's head.

The ground within Hinata's subconscious mind suddenly sank.

"Click--"

A crack appeared on the statue's head.

However, it wasn't enough to shatter the stone statue.

But just then, Hinata discovered that she could loosen her grip on her right hand!

The stone statue's horn stopped frantically absorbing her Chakra.

"I think I... succeeded."

Hinata smiled gently at Kanami.

Even though Kanami looked a little haggard, he managed a forced smile.

"It's good that you're alright."

Kanami had already consumed a lot of Chakra during the Mangekyō Sharingan test, and later used the power of the Sharingan to enter Hinata's deep consciousness.

It's the same way Uchiha Sasuke used the power of his Sharingan to enter Naruto's consciousness and destroy the Nine-Tails.

The Chakra itself had not yet returned to full, and after it appeared, it did not stop for a moment, and began to feed the Otsutsuki Hamura's Stone Statue with Chakra again.

He was completely drained, almost to the point of death.

"I'm sorry, I put you in danger..."

Hinata lowered her head and apologized to Kanami.

Kanami was stunned for a moment.

"No, I should apologize to you. I shouldn't have let you explore this statue so freely."

"The problem still lies with me..."

My question.

"Mine..."

"Your."

"Your..."

"Yes, it's mine." Kanami nodded with a smile.

"Huh?... Oh, no..."

Hinata took a while to realize that she had been Kanami.

"Alright, there's no point in arguing about who's right and who's wrong."

Kanami ruffled Hinata's hair.

Hinata lowered her head slightly, not moving away, letting Kanami's hands circle around her head.

"Since the statue has already been destroyed, let me just destroy it completely."

Kanami muttered to himself.

The main reason is that, in his memory, in the final chapter, after Otsutsuki Toneri completed the development of the Tenseigan, he was still able to summon a Giant Stone Statue.

And the stone statue is basically the same as the one in front of us.

If it is destroyed, Hinata may lose the ability to control the statue, but it will also deprive Otsutsuki Toneri of an important skill.

However, just as he finished speaking and was about to use the Sage Art: True Senju, an old man suddenly emerged from the chest of the stone statue.

"Please wait..."

As soon as he spoke, both Kanami and Hinata looked at him.

Upon seeing the old man's face, the two immediately recognized each other.

Otsutsuki Hamura.

"Ancestor?"

Hinata muttered softly.

I subconsciously put my left hand behind my back.

She had just smashed the stone statue with her left fist, and now she was encountering the real ancestor so soon, which made her very nervous.

At that moment, Kanami grasped Hinata's small hand.

Hinata, who had been feeling a little nervous, immediately calmed down.

Kanami looked up at Otsutsuki Hamura who had appeared before him. "What are you trying to do by absorbing my wife's Chakra?"

"Who? Your wife? The Princess of the Byakugan?"

A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Otsutsuki Hamura's usually composed face.

He remembered that the last time Hinata Hyuga's dream, Hinata hadn't mentioned that she already had a husband.

After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded silently.

Since he himself didn't ask Hinata about this, it's reasonable that he didn't tell her.

"Hello, Princess of the Byakugan's... husband."

Otsutsuki Hamura's lips twitched slightly; he found it rather awkward to pronounce.

What are you doing?

Kanami countered with a question.

At that moment, Hinata grip on his hand slightly.

She then gestured to him with her eyes.

"This is my ancestor Otsutsuki Hamura. Although I've never met him, as the Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, his strength is certainly not weak. Don't speak to me like that."

Kanami glanced at her sideways and winked in acknowledgment.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing, just leave it to me."

"All right."

Hinata nodded slightly.

Otsutsuki Hamura:???

He felt that the two people in front of him had already had a long exchange, but!

However, he did not see the two of them speaking at all.

Telepathy?

Hamura frowned slightly.

At this moment, Kanami asked again, "Hello, Otsutsuki Hamura, why are you absorbing my wife's Chakra?"

"..."

As if suffering from dementia, Otsutsuki Hamura hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, "It wasn't me who absorbed the Princess of the Byakugan's Chakra, it was this stone statue..."

"Not you? You mean you didn't make this statue?"

Kanami didn't believe it.

He witnessed Otsutsuki Hamura leap out of the stone statue.

"I created it to house a portion of my remaining consciousness, but its absorption of Chakra was passive and had nothing to do with me."

"If it's you, that's fine. How do you plan to compensate me?"

Kanami spoke calmly.

(⊙o⊙) Huh?

Hinata nearby, was completely dumbfounded.

This is my ancestor! He existed a thousand years ago. He appeared before the Shinobi World even opened up. He's Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths!

Even though it's just a remnant of consciousness, how dare it be so brave!
