Obito Uchiha knew that look in Naruto's eyes all too well. When Rin had been hurt all those years ago, his own gaze had been far more terrifying. He knew what Naruto needed right now, so he replied, "Well, according to the information we've gathered, the Crown Prince of the Bloodkill Principality most likely headed for the Extreme Ice Realm. There are also four hundred thousand troops still stationed along the Bloodkill Principality's former border. I think he'll gather those soldiers first."
Naruto paid no attention to the army of four hundred thousand. He merely asked quietly, "Where is this Extreme Ice Realm?"
Obito Uchiha gave Naruto a long look before saying, "The Extreme Ice Realm lies north of the Bloodkill Principality. Cross its northern border into Myriad Beast Mountain, then pass through the mountain, and you'll reach it. Our information says the daughter of the Extreme Ice Realm's ruler is the Bloodkill Principality's Empress-in other words, the mother of its Crown Prince, Xue Wuyi. He'll probably go there to find her."
Naruto nodded. "Got it."
Just then, Hinata stirred. Naruto hurriedly turned toward her, and to his delight, she slowly woke up. "You're awake, Hinata! You scared me to death. How do you feel? Does anything hurt?"
Having only just awakened, Hinata was still a little dazed. It took her a while to gather her senses. Seeing Naruto watching her with such concern filled her heart with happiness. She gently shook her head. "I'm much better now. I'm just a little weak. Don't worry, Naruto-kun. I'll be fine in a few days."
Seeing Hinata's pale face filled Naruto with both heartache and guilt. He had failed to protect her properly. Ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry, Hinata."
Hinata knew exactly what he was thinking. She smiled faintly. "I'm fine, Naruto-kun.
