The red-haired Young Naruto was completely awake. His eyes widened suddenly and his mouth opened slightly. For a moment, he forgot to breathe and forget to speak.
The pair of Purple Eyes and Rinnegan reflect the dazzling galaxy and Blue Eyes's hometown, as if there are stars spinning, being born, and annihilating in the pupils.
An unprecedented shock and awe, originating from the instinct of life, swept through his body like an electric current.
The universe is so big that even a mayfly would be inferior to Shinobi World when compared to the universe.
Yūji felt as if he had become a particle of dust in the universe, but also seemed to have some mysterious connection with the vast starry sky.
"This is..." Yūji's voice was trembling, with an almost pilgrim-like piety, "... the universe?"
He never thought that one day he would be able to witness the scene described in the textbook so intuitively and so closely.
The vastness of this coexistence of magnificence and loneliness far exceeded the sum of all his imagination.
"Hmm."
Adult Naruto's voice sounded beside him, calm and gentle, as if he was just taking his son to see a special scenery in the countryside.
He also looked up at the starry sky and Shinobi World, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thinking about something in this vastness.
"It's beautiful, but also cruel."
The universe is very big, but to Otsutsuki, it is just one nursery after another. They use Ten-Tails to harvest the energy of one world after another to make the ethnic group Immortality.
He withdrew his gaze and patted his son's back gently, slightly bringing the shock back to reality:
"Let's just stay here for a while and get a feel for it. We can't stay too long."
"The 'me' at this point in time will soon come to the moon for some reasons.
If we stay here too long or leave too obvious traces, it may cause unnecessary interference in time and space. So, take a look and remember this scene, and we should leave."
Hearing this, Yūji was filled with reluctance and wished he could stay here for a few more days, take a good look at every star, and record this unparalleled scenery with his camera.
But he didn't bring a camera and he understood that his father was right, the taboos of time and space must be observed.
He suppressed the disappointment in his heart, nodded heavily, and tried to imprint the scene in front of him deeply in his mind.
After a while, Yūji seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and the previous disappointment was replaced by a new kind of excitement.
He squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil under his feet, and suggested excitedly:
"By the way, Dad! I can pack some 'Lunar Soil' and take it back! This is soil from the moon! It's definitely worth taking it back for research by Konoha scientists, or even just as a souvenir."
He was already imagining the envious expressions on his friends' faces when they saw the "specialties" he brought back from the moon.
However, when Adult Naruto heard his son's idea of "making money in the right way", he couldn't help but chuckled "haha" and shook his head, his tone was a little helpless and funny.
"Silly Kid, do you still remember what I told you in the cave before?"
Naruto reminded, "How did the moon come from?"
Yūji was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the past story told by his father about Sage of Six Paths sealing his mother, "Remember, Sage of Six Paths used 'Super·Planetary Devastation' to lift part of the earth from Shinobi World, turned it into the moon, and sealed his mother..."
Halfway through, he realized what he was saying, his voice gradually became softer, and his expression became a little weird when he looked at the so-called "Lunar Soil" in his hand.
Naruto nodded and confirmed his idea. "That's right. So, the 'Lunar Soil' you are stepping on now and holding in your hand are not, in essence, any alien material."
He paused and pointed to the blue planet in the distance:
"They are the land of Shinobi World. They are the part that was stripped from Shinobi World by Sage of Six Paths and sent up to the sky. After a long period of baptism in the cosmic environment, the composition may have changed, becoming drier and barren, but its root is still Shinobi World."
He patted Yūji on the shoulder. "So, in terms of scientific research value, it may not be as high as you think. For many properties, similar samples can be found in Shinobi World. At most, it can be regarded as a kind of 'homeland' with special historical significance."
After listening to Yūji, looking at the dusty "Lunar Soil" in his hand, most of the excitement he had just lost.
After working on it for a long time, I almost thought that the "Moon Specialty" I wanted to bring back as a treasure was actually the soil from my hometown.
It was just "airlifted" to the sky and lived there for hundreds of years.
"Okay..." Yūji threw the "Lunar Soil" in his hand back to the ground angrily and clapped his hands, "I am so happy for nothing."
"It's not in vain, you can take it back and collect it to commemorate this trip."
Naruto smiled and said, "At least, you saw the universe with your own eyes and saw what Shinobi World looks like. This experience and vision are more precious than any 'specialty'. Well, it's time for us to go."
Shortly after the father and son left, an eyeless white-haired Young Naruto drove a wooden round platform to this area.
"Huh?"
Toneri tilted his head slightly, and his pair of eyeless eyes accurately "landed" on the spot where Naruto's father and son had just stood.
His brows furrowed.
"Illusion?"
Toneri whispered to himself, his voice cold and ethereal.
He had absolute confidence in the accuracy of his Sensing, but because of this, this sudden "strange feeling" made him even more wary.
The moon, this lonely satellite that was chosen by Ancestors Hamura and has been isolated from Shinobi World for thousands of years, except for the descendants of these watchers and the sealed core, theoretically no outsiders should be able to reach it.
Soon, he Sensing reached an uneven spot on the ground.
"How could... there be someone?"
Was it the person who accidentally discovered the passage?
Although Toneri has not seen other humans for a long time since his father passed away, this is not good news.
For Toneri, who has a special mission and has his own unique view on Shinobi World's current situation, the arrival of Shinobi World's people means changes, which means that the secrets and plans he has guarded for a long time are likely to be interfered with.
Shinobi World people are the most greedy and violent. They have been fighting for hundreds of years. They may do some evil things when they come to the moon.
"We must find out."
Toneri suddenly made a decision in his heart.
He cannot allow unidentified Shinobi World visitors to move around on the moon, whether they break in accidentally or have ulterior motives.
He needs to find them, figure out their purpose, and then... deal with them accordingly.
Toneri mobilized the power of Giant Tenseigan among Temple and began to scan the entire moon. After scanning several times, there was still no result.
"Leaved?"
