In the forests of Konoha.

Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, and Ino were searching for Uzumaki Menma's Nine Masked Beasts.

Meanwhile, Uzumaki Menma discovered Neji, who was hiding behind a tree, activating his Byakugan, and peeking.

Uzumaki Menma said in a sinister tone, "Enjoying the view?"

The sudden voice startled Neji, who shivered and quickly stood up.

Seeing it was Uzumaki Menma, Neji's small face scrunched up. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be..."

Uzumaki Menma cut him off, righteously declaring, "Shouldn't I also be in the forest, right? I didn't expect people from the Hyuga Clan to use their Kekkei Genkai to commit such a shameful act as peeping!"

Neji's small face flushed red as he argued, "That's not it! I was trying to..."

Uzumaki Menma didn't give Neji a chance to finish a complete sentence, continuing to interrupt, "You want to say you were just trying to protect Hinata, right? That's bullshit! This is blatant peeping! Surveillance!"

Neji was so angered by Uzumaki Menma's words that he almost had a heart attack. "Don't slander me! I just simply wanted to protect Lady Hinata!"

"Hmph, Hinata's dad is fine with letting Hinata come out and play with us, so why do you need to protect her? I'm going to tell Hinata right now and see if she believes you or me!"

Uzumaki Menma made a move to walk towards Hinata.

"Wait!"

Neji anxiously grabbed Uzumaki Menma's hand.

Uzumaki Menma turned his head and glanced at Neji. "What, you want to get physical? Let me tell you, either you beat me to death today, or everyone will know about this!"

Neji had never encountered someone as troublesome as Uzumaki Menma and was already flustered. "What do you want for you to keep quiet?"

Uzumaki Menma revealed a sly smile. "You'll agree to anything?"

Neji looked at Uzumaki Menma's smile and felt a bad premonition.

But if he didn't agree, he would be socially dead.

Neji bit the bullet and agreed, "Anything!"

"Come with me!"

Uzumaki Menma grabbed Neji's hand and ran towards the streets of Konoha.

Uzumaki Menma pointed to a wall and said, "Use your Byakugan to look inside and describe the scene to me."

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Neji's forehead. "Isn't this a women's bathhouse?"

The place Uzumaki Menma brought Neji was outside the wall of a women's bathhouse in Konoha.

Uzumaki Menma nodded his little head and said, "Mhm, I've always been curious about what it looks like inside. Hurry up and take a look with your Byakugan and describe it."

Neji hesitated. "Isn't this not good? Isn't this peeping?"

"Your behavior in the forest just now was also peeping, there's no difference, hurry up, hurry up," Uzumaki Menma urged excitedly.

Neji, who had been caught by Uzumaki Menma, could only do as he was told.

"Byakugan!"

Veins popped around Neji's eyes as he looked into the women's bathhouse.

When he saw the scene inside, Neji froze in place.

A stream of warm liquid slowly flowed from Neji's nostrils.

Uzumaki Menma shook Neji. "Don't just look at it yourself, hurry up and describe it to me!"

Neji said blankly, "Very white... very big... a magnificent view!"

Uzumaki Menma complained, "What kind of description is that? It's not vivid at all."

Neji wiped the blood from his nose and was about to speak when he saw a middle-aged woman holding a broom, looking at Uzumaki Menma and Neji with unfriendly eyes.

"What are you two little brats doing here?!"

Uzumaki Menma immediately slipped away.

Seeing this, Neji hurriedly chased after Uzumaki Menma.

The middle-aged woman was still chasing after them with a broom.

While chasing, she shouted, "You two little brats haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you've already learned to peep into the women's bathhouse! Watch me catch you and teach you a good lesson!"

Neji's face was red and flustered. If there was a hole in the ground, he would have crawled right in.

Uzumaki Menma didn't care at all. He wasn't the one peeping, and he didn't see anything.

After a fierce chase, Uzumaki Menma and Neji hid in a small alley and finally escaped the middle-aged woman's pursuit.

Uzumaki Menma and Neji collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

Neji grumbled, "It's all your fault. If you didn't have to peep into the women's bathhouse, we wouldn't have been chased!"

Uzumaki Menma asked, "Never mind that, hurry up and tell me what the inside of the women's bathhouse looks like."

Neji's small face turned red, and the magnificent view of the women's bathhouse reappeared in his mind.

Coming back to his senses, Neji replied, "I didn't see clearly."

"What? How is that possible?"

"I really didn't get a good look, I'm not lying to you."

Neji was too busy looking at the big, white thing to remember what the women's bathhouse looked like.

Uzumaki Menma dejectedly hung his head. "Damn it, I really wanted to know what it looks like inside."

However, Uzumaki Menma immediately perked up again. "Neji, let's go look again next time! You have to look carefully then!"

Neji looked utterly repulsed. "There's no way there's a next time!"

Uzumaki Menma tugged at Neji's clothes, pleading. "Just once! Please!"

Neji's head throbbed a little.

They were clearly at odds with each other before, even fighting outside the Hyuga Clan, how did things turn out like this now?

Neji also secretly wanted to take another look at that magnificent view.

However, he definitely wouldn't want to go alone.

But with Uzumaki Menma, it might be okay.

Neji pretended to reluctantly agree. "Fine, you got me, I agree, okay! But this is really the last time!"

Uzumaki Menma promised, "It's definitely the last time!"

Neji stood up from the ground. "Then I'm leaving."

"Wait!"

Neji frowned slightly and looked at Uzumaki Menma. "What is it now?"

Uzumaki Menma said awkwardly, "My body was already overexerted this morning from training, and now after running around like this, I can't walk anymore. Carry me back to the forest."

Neji sighed. "You're such a pain!"

Neji still squatted down in front of Uzumaki Menma.

Uzumaki Menma climbed onto Neji's back.

Neji carried Uzumaki Menma step by step towards the forest.

Meanwhile.

Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, and Ino had searched almost the entire forest, but only found Byakko, Genbu, and Kinja, three of the Nine Masked Beasts.

They couldn't find the other six Nine Masked Beasts no matter how hard they looked.

The five finally decided to give up.

But when they returned to the starting point, Uzumaki Menma was nowhere to be seen.

Just as the five were about to go look for him.

Naruto pointed forward with a trembling hand, incredulously saying, "Men... Menma! And that guy!"

Hinata's eyes were also filled with disbelief.

Neji, who had fought just two days ago, was actually carrying Uzumaki Menma!

This couldn't be a dream, could it?!
