The epic battle between Naruto and Sasuke was watched with bated breath by the entire ninja nation, and it became the talk of the town in the days that followed.

"Minato Namikaze's son has become so strong..."

"He was a genius when he was a child. If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage's accident, he might have been groomed as the successor to the Hokage long ago!"

"Uchiha Sasuke... I never expected that besides the Feather Emperor, another freak would emerge from the survivors of that clan!"

"He was unknown during the Fourth Shinobi World War, but in just eight years, he has grown to this level. I feel that he is even stronger than Nagato was back then. Is that just my imagination?"

"At the last moment, the image in the sky suddenly disappeared, so what was the outcome? Who will become the Hokage?"

"I'd prefer Naruto. The Yellow Flash may have his flaws, but he still has achievements. The Uchiha clan is Konoha's curse. Besides, Sasuke Uchiha has never actually lived in Konoha for a single day. He's not really a Konoha ninja. It's hard for an outsider, a descendant of a chaotic clan, to lead Konoha and win over the people!"

Then, with the official announcement that Naruto and Sasuke would jointly assume the role of the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, Konoha was in an uproar!

"Two Hokage in office at the same time? This is unprecedented! Are you kidding me?!"

"The problem is, those two men's fathers both had significant grudges against Konoha, especially the Uchiha... Won't they settle scores later after they come to power?"

"At the Third Hokage's funeral, I even spat in Naruto's face!"

"My sister's child burned down the Namikaze family's house at the foot of the garbage mountain. Although he himself was burned to death, my sister's family kept insisting that Naruto killed the child! Because of this, Naruto was tortured by Ibiki..."

"Although many years have passed, it wouldn't be difficult for the Hokage to find out. If he really holds a grudge, we're definitely in for a rough time!"

"Why don't we submit a petition to impeach them? These two people aren't qualified enough; they're too young!"

"Ha, eight years as a first-class city lord, isn't that seniority? Can't you see? Emperor Yu has already paved the way for them!"

"Sigh... Konoha is about to change. We'd better keep a low profile from now on!"

The discussions among these lower-ranking ninjas and ordinary people will not have any impact on the outcome.

Preparations for the Hokage's inauguration ceremony are proceeding smoothly.

……

On the eve of the grand ceremony, at the tranquil lakeside of Feathered Emperor Castle, Hinata Hyuga and Sakura Haruno meet.

Hinata is now an outstanding figure among her peers, both as a ninja and as a woman.

As a woman, Sakura may only have grown a head, but the Hundred Healings Seal on her forehead... is enough to prove her growth as a ninja!

During the Chunin Exams at the age of six, she developed feelings for a boy. For the next twelve years, due to various subjective and objective factors, she never expressed her feelings, letting that longing fester and grow stronger, a twelve-year-long unrequited love...

Now, she has turned eighteen.

Shared experiences led them to become good friends three years ago.

It was snowing, the lake was frozen, and even breathing was cold.

Hinata was wearing a coat, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was holding a red scarf tightly in her arms.

That was a scarf she had knitted for Naruto by hand, each stitch telling a story of her longing... After it was finished, she kept it there, because she didn't know in what capacity she had given it to Naruto.

Naruto is about to become Hokage, and I can finally send him off legitimately... but will my feelings be conveyed?

In Sakura's hand is a black cloak, which she made herself for Sasuke.

She gently brushed the snowflakes off the fabric, sighing, "I don't even know if it will fit. After all, I don't even know Sasuke's size..."

Hinata encouraged Sakura: "No, it's okay, Sakura. Yes, for boys, more important than whether it fits or not is the sentiment behind what you prepared. It will definitely reach them..."

Hinata said this, but she herself didn't have much confidence in it.

Sakura smiled bitterly, "I hope so..."

Hinata nodded in a prayerful manner: "Yes."

Sakura clenched her fist and said with great determination, "Then it's a deal! Tonight, neither of us is allowed to back down. We have to take this step!"

Hinata replied with a gentle yet firm tone, "Yes! Go for it!"

The two were preparing to go see the boy they liked.

"It's a pity that your feelings will never reach them..."

His calm yet aloof words, and his noble figure, descended amidst the interplay of moonlight and snow!

Sakura frowned: "I've never seen him before, he's not from the Ninja Kingdom!"

Hinata had activated her Byakugan, her pupils trembling: "His chakra is astonishing..."

Besides the astonishing chakra of the person in front of her... Hinata also discovered that her Byakugan's vision was distorted hundreds of meters away!

Hinata's heart tightened: "Only Yuki's 'Bodh Gaya' has a similar effect... The place where Sakura and I are right now has been isolated into a separate space!"

Spatial manipulation, one of the abilities of the Tenseigan, can create spatial channels between two celestial bodies for rapid travel, or isolate space like this!

With a formidable enemy at hand, Hinata was no longer the weak woman she once was. After assessing the situation, she calmly asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Whoosh! The newcomer took off his hood, shook his fluffy silver hair, and introduced himself: "My name is Ōtsutsuki Toneri."

"Otsutsuki!?" Hinata and Sakura's hearts skipped a beat upon hearing those three words!

Looking at Hinata's fully alert posture, Toneri smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We share a common ancestor and are destined to be husband and wife."

Sakura looked at Hinata in shock: "Husband and wife? Are you engaged???"

Hinata shook her head vigorously: "That's complete nonsense! I've never heard of such a thing!"

Sheren, however, spread his arms wide and declared matter-of-factly, "This world, created by Heaven, has nothing to do with anyone else. This world, created by the Sage of Six Paths, will soon come to an end, and then you and I, as the ancestors of the new humankind, will usher in a new era..."

"To portray coercing girls in such a refined and elegant way is utterly outrageous and utterly absurd!!!"

Toneri's arrogant words crossed Sakura's bottom line. She tucked her cloak under her arm, released the Hundred Healings Seal on her forehead, rushed forward, clenched her right fist (wearing a black glove), and struck Toneri's face!

"Heh." Shiren chuckled softly with his eyes closed, green chakra covering his palm, from which a green sphere shot out!

"Hmm? Chakra ball... I'll smash it!" In mid-air, Sakura frowned, a layer of blue chakra covering the Hundred Healings Fist, and she directly hit the green ball.

call out!

But the chakra covering the fist was instantly swallowed up by the green ball, and after it dented Sakura's fist, it disappeared through her skin!

"My chakra!" Sakura's expression changed instantly... The Hundred Healings Seal on her forehead quickly faded.

Whoosh! Then, the green ball, which had grown to more than ten times its original size, flew out from Sakura's back... and returned to Toneri's palm!

thump!

Sakura landed helplessly at Toneri's feet, where she was supported by two puppets dressed in gray robes that burst from the ground, her black cloak falling to the ground.

"Sakura!" Hinata rushed forward.

The servant rebuked him, saying, "For your sake, I won't hurt your friend, so don't even think about disobeying me!"

*Thud!* Hinata stopped, her expression one of intense struggle. After weighing the disparity in strength between them and the enemy… she lowered her hand, still trying to negotiate: “I will go with you… but you must promise not to do anything out of line!”

Recalling Toneri's dangerous words, Hinata spoke truthfully.

call out!

Toneri absorbed the chakra from the sphere, and the green sphere returned to its normal size. Its properties changed, and it became a mental sphere that could control minds.

"Not harming this girl is already the biggest condition for negotiation. The world of the Sage of Six Paths is corrupt and must be eliminated. Please bear with it for now, my princess..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Toneri rushed forward and shot a psychic ball into Hinata's chest. Hinata was then held down by two female puppets.

"Snow, Naruto, Father... Everyone." Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her consciousness began to fade.

The red scarf unfurled in mid-air and slowly fell onto the snow.

The servant looked down coldly at him, then stepped on him with one stride.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The puppet carried Hinata and Sakura into the air.

Shiren gazed intently around, his eyes deep: "Uchiha Yu possesses a time-reversal eye technique. Just to be on the safe side, let's undo this space manipulation technique later..."

Although Toneri is far away on the moon, he is well aware of the current state of the ninja world...

He has no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

"Uchiha Yu, no matter how strong you and your ninja country are, if you cause the moon to fall and destroy the Earth, you'll be going to meet the King of Hell soon..."

With those cold and confident words, Toneri, along with Hinata and Sakura, disappeared into the moonlight...

Twenty minutes later, Yu and Xiaoxue arrived at the scene of the incident, which was almost exactly the same as the scene back then, except that the location and time had changed.

Yu gazed at the moon and said to Xiaoxue, who was half-squatting on the snow, "Otsutsuki Toneri, the protagonist of the story 'The Unfaithful Moon Visitor' that Dad told you when you were little, is him..."

His eyes turned cold: "I was just about to go find him to get something, but he came looking for me himself. Let's just make the moon disappear and then recreate it using Earth Explosion Star..."

Yu dismissed it lightly, not taking the servant seriously at all.

Just then, a small figure appeared behind Yu and tugged at his clothes.

That's Tongtong.

Yu's gaze sharpened, and he took out the Hell Scroll from his robes.

When unfolded... the name 'Otsutsuki Takeshiki' was prominently displayed on it.

Closing the scroll, Yu frowned deeply, rubbing his temples in frustration: "Of all times, it had to be this time..."

The assignment of hell is absolute.

"Dad...you go ahead, leave that presumptuous Moon Visitor to me!"

Xue stood up, clutching the trampled red scarf tightly in her hand, her calm eyes showing a rare hint of anger.

"I will never forgive... someone who so casually tramples on other people's feelings!"

Selflessness... or simply 'selfless person'.

Chapter 747 The Progenitor Returns, Above the Moon

A magnificent palace, with a long dining table and an elegant candlestick in the center.

The man sat at the south end of the long table, swirling the wine in the glass vessel, looking at his fiancée across from him with a contented expression.

Hinata kept her head down, lost in thought, completely ignoring the delicious food before her.

Beside the west pillar, Sakura was bound with handcuffs and shackles. She hugged her legs and buried her broad forehead in her knees.

Clang! A female puppet placed a tray of bread in front of her.
