The sky over the Land of Rain is perpetually shrouded in thick, dark clouds. This world lacks Madara Uchiha who carved a gap in the mountain ranges between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, so whenever you arrive in the Land of Rain, it's either raining or about to rain.
A child stood under the eaves, gazing at the clouds in the sky. Suddenly, he excitedly pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Mommy, look! There's a god! A god flew by!"
Hearing her son's call while cooking, the mother quickly put down the spatula. Not quite understanding what he said, she asked, "What's wrong, child?"
"Mom, look! There's a god!"
"My silly son, where in this world is there a god?" The mother laughed dismissively and was about to go back to continue cooking when her son grabbed her apron.
Seeing her son's anxious expression, she could only look up at the sky perfunctorily.
The clouds in the sky remained thick, and after observing for a long time, I still couldn't see the "god" my son had mentioned.
The mother gently patted her son's head. "You're being naughty again."
She then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking, leaving her son looking aggrieved and sullen.
Shinsei enveloped Hinata with Chakra, and his Chakra wings flapped rapidly, carrying her through the sky in Issen.
The barrier formed by Chakra pushed away the surrounding moisture, creating tiny holes in the clouds. Hinata opened her Byakugan and carefully observed the ground beneath her feet.
Shinsei originally planned to extract information from Madara Uchiha of the other world about the places he had lived. However, ever since Madara Uchiha learned that Shinsei could travel between two worlds, he has kept silent about his past secrets, fearing that his other self might fall victim to Shinsei's clutches.
That hidden place is known only to him and Obito Uchiha. To find out this secret, you either have to defeat him or defeat Obito Uchiha.
Shinsei sent intelligence agents to gather information several times, but they all disappeared without a trace. So he gave up on that idea and decided to use a laborious method to find Madara Uchiha's hiding place in this world.
In this timeline, Madara Uchiha should still be relying on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to prolong his life, so that secret place must be able to accommodate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Given the enormous size of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, it would have been discovered long ago if it were on the surface, so its hiding place can only be underground.
Obito Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha was still several years away from dying. At this stage, Madara Uchiha would not be too old to Fudo and should still have retained a lot of strength.
That's good, it saves people from saying he's bullying the elderly. Even if they do say that, it doesn't matter, since he's not an adult himself.
Shinsei used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to reduce his and Hinata's weight, making their flight extremely fast. The forests and mountains below kept rushing past them, and the wind whistled past their ears.
This method, though seemingly cumbersome, is extremely effective. It was used last time to find the hiding place of Madara Uchiha from another world, thus successfully preventing them from synthesizing the Ten-Tails.
However, last time he had a general idea of the area; Madara Uchiha ruled the Land of Rain, so their newly built base wouldn't be too far away. But now, Madara Uchiha is hiding in some unknown corner, making the search area many times larger than before.
The two flew and searched rapidly, resting when they were tired and returning to another world to eat when they were hungry.
They were busy until the afternoon, and only a small portion of the area marked on the map had been searched. Hinata was usually quite quiet, but her face was flushed and a sweet smile played on her lips.
Ever since Shinsei rejected Konan, she has been smiling from time to time, and when she doesn't Byakugan, she will secretly look at Shinsei.
The sun gradually set, and the moon slowly rose. After asking Hinata, Shinsei learned that she wasn't quite ready to go back so early, so he lit a campfire. The two sat on the grass, gazing at the sky.
"Do you think there really are Ōtsutsuki Clan members on the moon?" Hinata mustered her courage and started a conversation.
Shinsei found it somewhat amusing; this girl was clearly making conversation out of nothing. A few days ago, she had seen Otsutsuki Kaguya's memories in the Mental Network.
Although there was no further information about Hamura Otsutsuki guarding the moon, Shinsei shared this information with some of Konoha's high-ranking officials, including Tsunade's disciple Hinata.
"Yes, some people live up there. Speaking of which, your Hyuga Clan is also a descendant of Otsutsuki Kaguya. Specifically, you are descendants of Otsutsuki Kaguya's second son, Hamura Otsutsuki. Your Byakugan is inherited from him."
"Huh?" Hinata was somewhat surprised; this was the first time she had heard of this information. "But there are no records of such things in the clan."
"There's a reason for that," Shinsei replied with a smile, "It also stems from a characteristic of your Byakugan."
Otsutsuki Kaguya's eldest son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who later became the Sage of Six Paths, had two sons.
The eldest among them is Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, from whom they inherited their Sharingan; Asura, the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, is the ancestor of the Senju Clan, and we also inherited his powerful physique.
As you know, the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan can evolve from One-Tomoe to Two Tomoe, then to Mitsudomoe, and finally to the supreme Mangekyō Sharingan.
While our Senju Clan doesn't have a clear evolutionary stage, we gain increasingly powerful Chakra as our bodies develop.
Among them, the Uchiha Clan produced Madara Uchiha, and the Senju Clan produced Hashirama Senju, both of whom were extraordinary ninjas.
"But your Hyuga Clan has never had such a powerful ninja, and it's rare to find one who can rival the Hokage. Do you know why?"
Hinata shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, but her expression showed an eagerness to know what would happen next, since it concerned her family.
"I can tell you, this is also related to my future plans. But I hope this secret ends with you and doesn't get out, okay?"
Hinata replied softly, "If... if this information is bothering you, then don't say anything more."
Shinsei shook his head. "I have nothing to be embarrassed about. The main problem is that if this secret is leaked, it will bring a huge disaster to your Hyuga Clan."
Therefore, once you know this, don't spread it around, otherwise the Hyuga Clan will pay a heavy price for it in the future.
"I... I absolutely will not tell anyone."
