"Welcome, guest from another world..."
The familiar voice, the ever-gentle expression— Ino's face flushed red at first, then turned inexplicably pale.
"You! You are... you are Naruto's teacher?"
"Consider this a belated self-introduction from last night: Uchiha Huayue, Lord of Hueco Mundo, the creator and maintainer of peace in this world."
"Nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future."
Huayue smiled gently, her eyes scanning for a moment before finally settling on Ino's stomach slightly below, her expression unusually subtle.
"Wait, what are you looking at! Naruto said you might have a way to get me back, that's why I came here. What's wrong with you?!"
In an instant, Ino's face turned crimson, and she couldn't help but shout in embarrassment and anger.
"Go back? Why go back? Traveling between worlds isn't as easy as you imagine. I don't have a way to send you back, but I do have a way to ensure your independent existence in this world..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ino barely managed to suppress her loss of composure, her face filled with despair.
"You mean... I can't go back to my original world? How can this be?"
"Before you arrived, this world had already overlapped with another, making us realize more deeply that the diversity of the world is a real phenomenon, Ino..."
The married woman below, Ino, looked up. Footsteps sounded from behind the curtain of Hueco Mundo, and a face that was extremely familiar to her appeared. She froze on the spot.
"Who... who is she?"
" The Ino of another world, because her personality is somewhat different from the Ino of this world, I call her the Timid Ino..."
When the Timid Ino saw her other self, she also showed a bright smile and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Hello, I'm from the future of this world..."
The married woman Ino, was struck dumb and collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Huayue simply smiled gently and forgave her loss of composure.
After all, when a person sees another version of themselves, they are bound to question the meaning of life.
As a gentle breeze blew by, two warm arms helped Ino, a married woman, to her Ino. She looked around, her eyes filled with disbelief.
" Sakura? Hinata? How could you two be...?"
"Calm down. Too much emotional fluctuation is bad for your health. Don't you know your own physical condition?"
"Have you already forgotten what the teacher just said? This person is no longer the Ino we know, but Ino from another world. She doesn't know that her condition isn't quite normal..."
Hinata finished speaking, a hint of envy in her eyes, and silently opened the Silent Blood Armor for the married woman Ino.
The next second, under the fluctuations of the life aura detection, a life aura different from her own emanated from the married woman Ino.
"This, how is this possible? I... my..."
"I've already said, calm down. It's us who are in a difficult position now that things have gotten this way. If we don't bring Ino back from this world, you'll take away her right to be a mother!"
For a moment, the married woman Ino felt utterly hopeless. She had come here without knowing why, and was now taking on another heavy burden in a daze. What should she do?
"Calm down. In short, have the medical department prepare some medicine to calm the soul. I will handle your matter as soon as possible and try to bring Ino back to this world before the new life is born."
"Now, I'll leave her in your care. I don't have the time right now; to perfectly transfer the wedge inside Karin's body, some adjustments are still needed..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huayue's figure disappeared from the throne.
Seeing that the married woman Ino was completely despondent, Sakura couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
"Don't worry, if there's really no other way, your teacher will create an Artificial Gigai for you, transplant your soul into it, and start a new life."
It felt particularly strange that Sakura was saying such an incredible thing.
"This world can even cultivate a physical body?"
"Can't it be the world twenty years from now? The technology of Artificial Gigai is already very mature, and people here will not suffer from certain intractable diseases. The speed of development is surprising even to us. This is entirely thanks to the wisdom of our teacher."
Faced with Sakura's honesty, Ino was momentarily at a loss for words. Twenty years later, the village had many more high-rise buildings, and countless advancements in science and technology...
However, the technology of artificial bodies is still too exaggerated. But why do they call their bodies Gigai?
With Sakura and Hinata's escort, Ino, a married woman Ino, temporarily stayed at Hueco Mundo to recuperate.
Meanwhile, in the office of Hueco Mundo.
Samui was dressed in an intellectual secretary's outfit and spoke in a gentle tone.
" Huayue, the wedge inside Karin's body has been successfully matched with the intended experimental subject, White Zetsu, and can be transplanted into White Zetsu's body at any time."
Hearing this, Huayue nodded with a smile. Just as he had expected, the reason why the Otsutsuki Clan was able to revive by relying on the bodies of others was entirely because they had the gene pool of most organisms in their bodies.
"Very good. Immediately transplant the Karma into the White Zetsu's body. In addition, have others pay close attention to the movements in the universe. The Otsutsuki Clan may invade this planet at any time."
After completing each administrative task, Huayue stretched lazily, while Samui beside her had a strange expression, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"They present me with several sets of gifts Tenten, saying they're little gadgets to improve relationships between men and women..."
Huayue was somewhat surprised. When did this little girl become so adept at this?
"Let me take a look..."
Samui silently turned and left, a clear bell ringing as he entered the house.
jingle--
Soon, Samui blushed, silently placed a box in front of Huayue, and slowly opened it.
The metal objects inside the box have smooth surfaces, much like the spinning tops that children usually spin on ice. There is a faint groove on the smooth metal surface at the tail end.
In addition, a dozen or so small bells were also placed inside the wooden box.
"Wow! That girl is so creative!"
Huayue's expression was strange. After coughing twice, she put the item away and strode towards the door.
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen Mabui and Yugito. Why don't you come along too?"
Samui blushed and lowered his head, silently following behind Huayue.
The Huayue Residence, located in Konoha and isolated outside the planned area.
The three of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, reunited. Yugito smiled, feeling wonderful not having to live alone outside the village anymore.
The three stopped in front of a forest of red maple trees covering the mountains, where the melodious sound of bells echoed.
" Samui, when did you start wearing bells?"
The Mabui was a little curious.
"Yesterday, the voice was very pleasant..."
