After reaching a settlement, Returned Naruto and Innocent Naruto, Waterfall of Truth, had a long talk.
After all, coexisting in one body is not a long-term solution.
Therefore, Innocent Naruto chose to leave.
Returned Naruto asked, "Is there anyone you want to protect?"
Innocent Naruto said, "Is there anyone you want to protect? I can't even count them. To be honest, I still want to protect everyone..."
'Protect everyone', I was stubborn before, now I am thinking, Innocent Naruto, no longer naive!
Returned Naruto patted Innocent Naruto on the shoulder and said, "That's impossible, just choose one. As for what you can't take care of, there are still me and our companions to protect!"
"It's decided..."
Innocent Naruto made a choice after thinking carefully.
Phew!
His body began to scatter into spots of light.
Returned Naruto stood up and said goodbye.
Innocent Naruto:"Promise me one last thing!"
Returned Naruto: "You can say as many as you like!"
Innocent Naruto: "No matter what Sasuke becomes in the end, at the very end, you must, must pull him back on track!"
Returned Naruto: "Needless to say, he is our most important friend!"
Innocent Naruto: "Protect our homeland and don't let that Mirai happen again!"
Returned Naruto:"I will!"
"And..." Before disappearing, Innocent Naruto made a 'lip reading'.
Returned Naruto understood the lip language, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I understand..."
"Then I'll leave it to you..."
Phew! Innocent Naruto, the original Naruto, turned into light spots and dispersed.
A line of tears flowed down from the corner of Returned Naruto's eyes.
These were the tears of his final farewell to his once innocent self!
Konoha at four o'clock in the morning, it was quiet.
Among Back Mountain, Hinata has just finished yesterday's practice!
As soon as she said goodbye to Land of Iron, she made up her mind that no matter what happened to Naruto, she would become someone who could move forward side by side with her!
With her current strength, it is difficult to even protect herself!
So, become stronger!
After practicing, Hinata was exhausted and fell asleep leaning on the wooden pile.
Phew!
Fire Fly-like light spots gathered into the phantom of Innocent Naruto. He looked at the sleeping Hinata and wanted to reach out to touch her cheek, but he took it back...
He is leaving, but leaving does not mean disappearing, but turning into new power!
--"Hinata, I will use my Chakra and soul to unlock the true power of Byakugan for you!"
Phew!
The crystal light of Chakra and soul of Innocent Naruto flows into the eyes of Hinata!
"Hmm..." Hinata's claustrophobic eyelids trembled and opened.
"Naruto... jun?" Looking at the disappearing phantom in front of him, with the inflow of Naruto Chakra and soul, Hinata also understood what happened to Naruto!
"Hinata, no matter past, present, or Mirai, I will be with you!" Leaving these gentle words behind, Innocent Naruto's body completely dissipated!
Tears burst out of my eyes... and slid down Hinata's cheeks!
Zhi! Then, those pair of Byakugan were washed away and replaced by dazzling 'orange'!
The way to open the eyes of 'Tenseigan' is not just like that of Toneri, but it is synthesized by a large number of Byakugan, which is inferior after all!
Those who have the blood of Hamura, those who have the blood of Hagoromo, Chakra and soul nourishment are the authentic ways to open eyes!
From the memory of Returned Naruto, Innocent Naruto, who knew about this incident, decided to use his own way to fulfill Hinata, allowing her to gain this power that she did not have in her previous life, and also letting Hinata know all the causes and consequences.
Innocent Naruto does not have the rock-solid character of Returned Naruto... Therefore, he cannot bear to let Hinata wait in anxiety!
At this point, no explanation is needed!
Hinata Hyuga, gentle but strong said, "Naruto-kun, I will use the power you gave me to protect Konoha and everyone in Village. Then, I will wait obediently, no matter how long, for the day when you fulfill your wish and take me home!"
Waterfall of Truth Next, Naruto opened his eyes. He knew that the once innocent self had left this body and continued to protect him and his most important people in a way that suited him!
Naruto stood up and stretched out his palm.
Wow!
The waterfall in front of you split into two, revealing the entrance to the depths!
Seeing this scene, behind Naruto, Yamato was shocked. "This is...!?"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Paradise Island, it's Kumogakure. In order for Jinchūriki to control Tailed Beast, the supporting functional facilities are of course not It's as simple as Waterfall of Truth. Then behind Waterfall of Truth is the battlefield for Jinchūriki and Tailed Beast. Do you want to continue moving forward, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto said in a deep voice, "Now that we are here, there is no reason to stop. Orochimaru, please leave me with what I have to tell you!"
"Of course~" Orochimaru smiled intriguingly, and walked behind the waterfall with Naruto!
"What riddles are these two people... playing?" Yamato kept pace with the two men anxiously in his heart!
The battle... doesn't end here, it has just begun!
What awaits Naruto ahead will be a familiar yet brand-new challenge!
