Konan's Face Drained of Color

Konan never expected that she would actually hear that voice.

She could never forget the voice that had caused her such a great loss, the one from which she was powerless to change anything.

At first.

She was leisurely bathing in the lake, intending to practice her special skill. So she transformed into a piece of paper and hid in the lake to cultivate, but unexpectedly...

The moment she regained her human form, she saw a person in the sky, and witnessed that person unleash earth-shattering power—a terrifying attack she would never forget.

But what happened next was something she hadn't expected.

She thought she was well hidden in the water, but to her surprise, the man spotted her easily and then plummeted from the sky into the lake.

At last.

After being 'educated' by this hateful fellow, Konan once again realized how terrifying he was, and under his threats, she dared not mention the matter to anyone, because...

Because if she angered this hateful guy, he would destroy the Land of Rain, destroy her home, and even wipe out all her companions, so she could only keep quiet, but she remained depressed.

Besides rescuing people, she also planned to relax after leaving the Land of Rain. However, instead of relaxing, she encountered this hateful guy again.

With mixed feelings, Konan turned to look at the person. When she saw the person's golden hair, she paused, then said, "Your appearance."

"Hmm, my strength has improved somewhat," Naruto said casually.

"Your strength has improved a bit?" Konan looked at Naruto Nam.

This guy's strength was already terrifying, like a natural disaster, and now it has increased again. The burning Golden Ki around his body clearly prove that Naruto's improvement is definitely not small.

This outcome made Konan even more frustrated, feeling that she would be under Naruto's control for the rest of her life.

Certainly.

She finally understood why Kakuzu and Hidan had called for help, why they dared not leave, and why they were so terrified.

Faced with a terrifying figure like Naruto, who would dare to leave? Who wouldn't be terrified?

But what good would it do to come? Who in this world could rival Naruto? Even if the entire organization were gathered together, they still couldn't face the formidable Naruto.

Because the gap was too large, to an unimaginable degree, she had personally witnessed the Chasm that remained in the Land of Earth, so she remained silent.

After a long while, Konan sighed and asked, "Naruto, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose?"

Naruto glanced at Konan, feeling the surging power within him, and his brow furrowed slightly as he thought about gaining Experience Points.

Naruto's bloodline has already reached its maximum level and doesn't need further improvement. He just needs to collect the Experience Points required to Upgrade System. However, Naruto doesn't want to give up on the lottery.

Now he faces two paths: one is to occupy this world, control the entire Ninja World, bring all the characters together, and gain a huge amount of Experience Points.

The other path maintains the original storyline, even though it's terribly distorted. But I can easily bring it back under control. If anyone deviates from the plot, I can just beat them up, right?

Take the Nine-Tails for example. If it dares to run around, just beat it until it obediently stays by your side.

If the Akatsuki Organization doesn't continue capturing the Tailed Beast, then they should personally visit them and give them a good "lesson." They'll probably comply obediently.

This path is relatively more reliable; it can maintain the Experience Points for a short time. When the system is upgraded, we can see if there are any new changes.

After all, this system upgrade was a major undertaking, and Naruto had a feeling that this system upgrade would bring about considerable changes.

Considering this, Naruto made a decision in his mind, then looked at Konan with a playful expression.

"I'll take these two with me for a while," Naruto.

"Take away?!"

Kakuzu and Hidan, who had been watching from under the big tree, changed their expressions slightly upon hearing this.

They didn't want to be taken away, not even knowing how they died, so they hurriedly looked at Konan.

From what they had just witnessed, they realized that Konan and Naruto knew each other, which gave them a glimmer of hope.

Konan didn't speak when she heard Naruto's words, but instead looked at Naruto with her pretty brows furrowed.

"Don't worry, they won't die. They'll continue with your plan. You just need to keep quiet. Now, listen to me."

Naruto began to explain, stating his demands and requiring Konan to act according to his wishes.

Konan felt helpless about this, but there was nothing she could do. What could she do against a powerhouse of this level? Could she disregard all the living beings of the Land of Rain, and Nagato's safety?

Left with no other choice, she could only agree, while also wondering why Naruto didn't stop their plan, which was truly puzzling.

Unfortunately, no one answered her question, because Naruto left shortly afterward, having finished explaining everything.

When Konan saw Naruto carrying Kakuzu and Hidan in one hand and the mountain-sized Nine-Tails in the other, flying rapidly through the sky, Konan was stunned for a long time.

"Truly terrifying strength."

Konan stood there for a long time before flapping her wings and leaving, heading towards the Land of Rain's base.

At the home of the Hyuga Clan Patriarch in Konoha.

Hinata was busy in the washroom, the sound of washing things kept ringing out, and she was doing it for quite a while, which puzzled Hanabi in the living room.

"Sister, what are you washing? Why are you taking so long?" Hanabi, blinking her big eyes.

"I'm doing laundry," Hinata the washroom.

"Wash clothes?" Hanabi asked, puzzled.

As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata has a dedicated grandmother to wash her clothes, and she only needs to wash her own underwear. However, Hinata spent so long washing clothes in the washroom, which means she must have washed quite a lot.

This puzzled Hanabi. She walked into the washroom and saw her sister using her fair little hands to wash clothes. She looked so serious that she really was washing clothes.

But.

When Hanabi saw the clothes that had been washed, Hanabi froze on the spot.

Since all these clothes belonged to Naruto and none of them were for his sister, Hanabi felt a pang of envy and jealousy.

Just two days ago, she asked her sister to wash her underwear, but her sister refused because she was going to Naruto.

Now look what's happened! My sister's been back for so long, and she's been doing Naruto's laundry the whole time. That's so unfair!

Feeling depressed, Hanabi wanted to say something, but since she was her older sister, she couldn't say anything and could only offer words of comfort.

"Sister, you can give these clothes to Grandma to wash. You're working too hard."

"It's alright, Grandma can't wash it clean, and Naruto doesn't like others touching his clothes." Hinata raised her fair little hand, wiped the sweat from her face, and said with a smile.

"This..."

Hanabi wanted to say, "It's just some clothes, is it really that big of a deal?" But she didn't say anything to his face, and instead offered a few more words of advice.

After realizing it had no effect, Hanabi returned to her room in frustration, then pouted and said...

"As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan, my sister has never washed so many clothes before. And she washes Naruto's clothes instead of mine! It's simply outrageous!"

After Hanabi finished speaking in frustration, she felt she still needed to go and talk to her sister. She couldn't always take care of Naruto like this, so she got up and went to the washroom.

"Hanabi, help me do the laundry," Hinata suddenly said.

"Huh? Why?" Hanabi asked, puzzled.

"I need to practice the Sweet and Sour Fish that Naruto taught me before," Hinata explained softly.

"Sweet and Sour Fish? Is that the one from the day before yesterday? It was already delicious." Hanabi thought of the Sweet and Sour Fish from the day before yesterday, and her foodie nature instantly resurfaced.

"No, Naruto said yesterday that it's still a little bit off. I'll practice some more today. You help me with the laundry, and I'll let you try the braised fish after I make it," Hinata said with a smile.

"Okay, big sister, hurry up and make it! Make a lot, and be quick, or Father will be back soon," Hanabi said happily, pushing Hinata into the kitchen.

Then she hummed a little tune, imagining the Sweet and Sour Fish she would eat later, and began washing the rest of the clothes.

She took two minutes to realize what was happening, then said in a daze.

"I came here to persuade my sister not to work so hard doing laundry, how did I end up doing the laundry? Turns out, I've gotten myself into this mess?"
