[The coastline of the Land of Fire.]
["I didn't expect it to arrive early."]
"Since that's the case."
"Alright, everyone, get ready."
"The faster the battle ends, the fewer the casualties will be."
On Turtle Island.
[Onoki floats in mid-air.]
Looking at the Land of Fire before me.
He said in a deep voice, "I wonder what the situation is like on the main battlefield now."
"Don't worry."
"The Allied Shinobi Forces will not lose."
"This combines the power of our three great ninja villages."
"And the samurai of the Land of Iron."
"All five daimyo support it."
"It can be said that the timing, location, and people were all in harmony."
"Even if the Land of Whirlpools is strong, it's impossible to determine a winner in a short time."
The Fourth Raikage chuckled.
[certainly. ]
The smile seemed somewhat forced.
Even he himself didn't quite believe it.
"Let's cut to the chase."
Mei Terumi seemed completely out of place with this surprise attack force.
[after all. ]
[It was Kirigakure, not Mei Terumi, that agreed to the alliance.]
"The Water Shadow is rather impatient."
"Then, log in."
"The daimyo of the Land of Fire awaits us."
[...]
[Konoha, the Land of Whirlpools]
Naruto paused, startled.
"Have we arrived yet?"
He walked out of the room.
I glanced at the sky.
Then she glanced at Xianglin and Ziyanghua, who were secretly watching her from the side.
Hmm...and she had a little girl with her.
"You'll be eating by yourselves tonight."
"I need to go out for a bit."
Naruto said softly.
[ah? ! ]
[Three gasps of surprise.]
"We've been discovered!"
"Naruto-nii-san is so amazing~"
"Run!"
[The jasmine and hydrangea were already prepared.]
Suddenly, Little Firework shouted, "Run!"
The two women suddenly became nervous.
[Immediately run away with Little Firework.]
[It's just around the corner.]
The little firework disappeared.
Hydrangea and Xianglin are getting anxious.
Don't leave us behind!
[Speed up immediately.]
However.
["Naruto-nii-san~"
"I want to go play too!"
"Just like last time, okay?"
Naruto looked at Hanabi, who was clinging to his leg.
[He looked up again, his gaze piercing through wall after wall.]
[I saw Xianglin and hydrangea running quickly.]
"No, that won't work~"
["Mmm~~"
However, the words of refusal had barely been uttered...
[Hana, who is usually like a little kid, immediately started using her charm and sweet talk.]
Naruto: "..."
Is it cute enough to overwhelm you?
Even Naruto couldn't help but squat down.
[He gently pinched Xiaohuahuo's cheek.]
["good."]
"How about I take you to the moon next time?"
[Upon hearing this.]
[Little Firework immediately puffed out its little mouth.]
[but. ]
[After realizing what had happened.]
Those large, flawless white eyes lit up.
"The moon...above?!"
[He was visibly excited.]
["Um."]
Naruto gently rubbed her little head.
["Oh really."]
"The purpose of this trip is to find the entrance."
"A passage to the lunar surface."
[With the awakening of the Rinnegan.]
Naruto's senses are becoming increasingly acute.
He could sometimes sense it vaguely.
On the moon, something seems to be watching the ninja world.
This feeling doesn't last forever.
[It is intermittent, not in nature.]
Therefore, Naruto couldn't determine the exact location either.
[and,]
To Naruto's surprise,
[It's the feeling of that surveillance chakra.]
It feels very familiar.
[Eye roll.]
[Hinata! ]
[After he imprisoned the demonic statue of the heretic within his own divine power space.]
Naruto was even more certain.
[Inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.]
[We have a similar feeling.]
[Naruto's initial speculation.]
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was hidden on the moon by the Sage of Six Paths.
[And there's a feeling of chakra on the moon.]
This means there are people on the moon.
[It is very likely that it is guarding the demonic statue of heretics.]
In other words...
[That entity that has remained silent.]
The Sage of Six Paths' younger brother...
It's right up there.
[They are very likely ancestors of the Hyuga clan.]
At this point, Naruto's train of thought became clear.
The big fox is very cunning.
[Clearly knows a lot.]
But they won't tell Naruto directly.
[unless...]
Unless Naruto can call her nice things more often.
Otherwise, they'll just be beating up a mute.
"Of course it's true."
Naruto gently patted Hanabi's head.
[After she started imagining what the surface of the moon would look like.]
Naruto immediately leaped into the air.
[Little Firework was caught off guard.]
[I failed to latch onto Naruto's coattails.]
[He could only watch Naruto fly away, fuming.]
However, she quickly forgot her anger.
After realizing something was wrong, Xianglin and Ziyanghua returned the way they came.
Naruto's lips curled slightly.
"Big fox, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Did the mission fail?"
"How is that possible?!"
[The voice of the great fox echoed in my mind.]
"When this fox takes action, failure is absolutely impossible."
"Just you wait, I've brought back a few women, and then..."
["Ahem!" Naruto coughed lightly a few times.]
It's both frustrating and funny.
I wonder who the big fox learned that from.
[Um...]
[It shouldn't be with her mother.]
[Incorrect.]
[Mom was corrupted by the big fox.]
[Um! ]
That must be it.
"Naruto Uzumaki."
Suddenly.
A sweet, unfamiliar female voice rang out.
Naruto frowned slightly.
This feeling.
[It felt like when the great fox tricked me into entering Gaara's sealed space.]
[A connected sealed space.]
["Two-Tailed Demon?"]
[Naruto asked.]
"It's me."
[Buzz—]
[Consciousness enters the sealed space.]
[soon. ]
Then they saw the enormous creature beside the large fox.
[A gigantic cat, its entire body covered in blue chakra flames.]
That's how it is.
[And its sweet and gentle female voice...]
The contrast is striking.
"Nice to meet you."
Naruto smiled.
[Then he raised his fist.]
[Two-Tailed Beastman pauses, taken aback.]
[Then it dawned on me.]
He quickly raised his hand and bumped fists with Naruto.
[Buzz—]
[In an instant.]
[The chakra that Two-Tails Matatabi had just recovered was almost entirely depleted.]
Caught off guard, You Lu fell straight to the ground.
[She let out a soft moan.]
[The Big Fox: "..."]
[Damn it!]
What's that noise?!
"Ninja Sect... Kurama really trusts you, as expected."
"With so much chakra, are you planning to revive the Ten-Tails?"
"It doesn't seem like enough~"
"Then I'll have to trouble you again."
[The traveler looked somewhat weak.]
Naruto's smile remained unchanged.
It's just kind of funny.
Even half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
[These are all amounts of chakra that are far beyond the reach of the Tadashi clan.]
The Sage of Six Paths is truly biased.
Yamanaka Ino: "Hmph~!"
Heitu: "Is there anything else to say?"
Mei Terumi: "Hehe~ As expected of Naruto with black-rimmed glasses~"
Tian Tian: "Since Naruto-kun with black frames has said so, does anyone still want to refute it?"
