Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"You've already seen everything, and you're still so shy," Naruto laughed. "Cute."

Hinata let out a soft moan, not daring to look at Naruto, and with her head down and face flushed, she ran out of the master bedroom and into the bathroom.

Naruto folded the blankets and tidied the bed before sitting down at the dining table. About half an hour later, Hinata arrived late.

The table was covered with dishes prepared by the puppet chef.

Sandwiches, bacon, fried eggs, miso soup—you name it, they have it.

Naruto only ate a little bit, and most of it went into Hinata's stomach.

After Hamura's chakra was replenished, Hinata was no longer a bottomless glutton. Her appetite was no longer terrifying, but it was still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Hinata doesn't have many hobbies, but eating and enjoying delicious food is one of them, and Naruto has no reason to be dissatisfied.

The puppet chef is his masterpiece. He created the puppets and used the Reincarnation Eye Technique to give them independent consciousness in cooking and creating delicious dishes.

As for ingredients, possessing the power of the Six Paths and being able to use Yin-Yang Escape Technique to create life from nothing is an easy thing for them.

There's no need to spend money to buy it; you can be completely self-sufficient.

"Um, how is Sakura?" Unable to bear Naruto's direct gaze, Hinata instinctively squeezed her legs together, blushing as she changed the subject.

"Hinata, we need your assistance with this matter," Naruto said.

"That person must die, but killing him won't be that easy."

"Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, Kamui."

"Sharingan Forbidden Technique, Izanagi."

"In addition, there's the Ten-Tails that fell into his hands. I wonder if he tamed and controlled it, and what kind of abilities it gained as a result."

"I understand, I will do my best," Hinata said earnestly.

"If we could find Sasuke and get his help, the success rate would be much higher," Naruto sighed. "Unfortunately, he hasn't shown up at all; it's as if he's vanished into thin air."

Chapter 239 An Unprecedented Spectacle

"There are many memories here. I don't think Sasuke will leave and go to another world."

“He’s not the kind of person who would run away from something; he’ll get back up wherever he falls.”

"Besides, I haven't even defeated my only opponent yet, so he's unlikely to leave. He's probably still somewhere on Earth."

"Perhaps they are quietly cultivating, training, and becoming stronger; perhaps they are trying to rebuild the Uchiha clan and revive it."

At this point, Naruto sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"I've searched every possible place they might go, and I've verified every suspicious lone wolf on Earth."

"What other options are there? Where could he be hiding? This is a real headache."

Hinata, who felt she couldn't help with this issue, remained silent.

Suddenly, a thought struck her: "Naruto-kun, um, the Inuzuka clan's keen sense of smell... could they use it to find..."

Naruto pointed to his nose.

"I copied their secret technique, the Beast Mimicry Ninjutsu, a long time ago. Now, without exaggeration, my sense of smell is several times better than theirs."

"I've tried the method you suggested, but it didn't work. If Sasuke doesn't want to be found, he'll definitely try to cover it up and erase his own scent."

Beast Mimicry Ninjutsu is a secret technique of the Inuzuka family that can greatly enhance the strength and speed of the limbs, including the sense of smell.

Having an overly acute sense of smell isn't necessarily a good thing; for example, it can drastically reduce one's resistance to foul odors.

In the story, during the Chunin Exams, Kiba Inuzuka was knocked unconscious by Naruto's fart.

This enhanced sense of smell only occurs when using the Beast Mimicry Ninjutsu; otherwise, it is just like a normal person's and does not cause any trouble in daily life.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that," Hinata shook her head and continued eating.

Suddenly, a piece of white paper appeared in her line of sight. She followed the hand holding the paper and looked at Naruto, her face full of confusion.

“How about using this to lure Sasuke out?” Naruto asked.

Hinata lowered her gaze, not understanding what Naruto meant, but as she focused her attention and looked more closely, she vaguely noticed something unusual.

"This is..." Hinata caught the white paper, and her Byakugan changed, transforming into the Tenseigan.

Relying on the extraordinary pupil power of the Tenseigan, he was able to truly see what was written on it.

To the average person, this is just an ordinary piece of white paper.

Only those with powerful pupils can discern the words inside. The level of pupil power determines how much one can see and whether it is clear or blurry.

"Sasuke, I need your help! It's extremely urgent! Come to the moon immediately!"

"If it could reach him and he saw it, it should be okay, right?" Hinata said uncertainly.

“I will cast a wide net, and as long as he is still on Earth, there is a high chance that he will see it,” Naruto said.

"In addition, there is a certain probability that this thing will fall into the hands of White Zetsu and eventually end up in Obito's hands."

"I tampered with it, and placed my eye power and chakra inside. It will automatically react to the chakra of White Zetsu, Obito, and Sasuke."

"Then mark it, and what happens next is self-evident."

"You're talking about casting a large net, this..." Hinata hesitated, "Chakra is one thing, but where do you get so much ocular power?"

Naruto smiled, and a crack suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. The crack opened abruptly, revealing a blood-red Rinnegan, adorned with nine tomoe.

"Although no eye techniques have appeared yet, the vast and boundless eye power here is difficult to exhaust."

With a new idea in mind, Naruto couldn't wait to put it into action.

They mass-produced blank paper and infused it with chakra and the power of the Rinnegan.

It's noon.

Ten thousand meters above the Earth's center, three figures floated above the clouds, facing each other.

“We’ll stick to the pre-assigned areas. You two will be responsible for the Northern Hemisphere, and I’ll be responsible for the Southern Hemisphere,” Naruto said. “If you need more, just contact me and I’ll replenish your supplies.”

"Alright, I'll go first." Ino put away the scroll full of white paper. Seeing Hinata awkwardly looking away and not looking at her, she coughed and flew towards the designated area.

"Then, I'll set off too," Hinata said softly.

"Be careful, stay safe," Naruto warned. "If he really attacks you, don't retaliate rashly. Hold him off, and I'll be there in a minute."

“I’ve been acting alone for a while now. If he wanted to attack me, he would have done it already,” Hinata said.

"Abandoning me and choosing to target Sakura, they must have done their research and know about my abilities."

"They didn't have any designs on me back then, so they're even less likely to do anything to me now."

As Naruto watched Hinata enter the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and fly away at high speed, disappearing from sight, he rubbed his temples.

The morning was spent using an enormous amount of pupil power, which caused my head to ache. The most strained part was my nine-tomoe Rinnegan between my eyebrows, which felt extremely dry.

"Based on your understanding, is it possible to tame and absorb the Ten-Tails, which hasn't yet eaten the Otsutsuki tree, and has transformed into a divine tree that bears the chakra fruit?"

Kaguya, who had framed Black Zetsu and caused his capture, was still reeling from the blow and remained sullen, ignoring Naruto.

Undeterred by the lack of answers, Naruto continued flying, scattering white paper as he went.

This day will be recorded in history.

For the first time ever, paper began to fall from the sky.

It's not snow, it's not rain, it's real paper that can be used for writing and drawing.

From north to south.

From west to east.

Whether in populated areas or desolate, cold places, without exception, they all wrote on blank paper.

It is an unprecedented spectacle.

After a busy day, I finally finished delivering the papers.

Naruto, Hinata, and Ino reunited at the spot where they had separated earlier.

"Will this really lure Sasuke out? I have my doubts." Ino rested her chin on her hand and said, "He's suffered a lot at your hands, can he still trust you?"

"My relationship with him is hard to explain in a few words," Naruto said.

"In short, we've done everything we could. The rest is up to fate."

"Even without Sasuke, I am confident that I can defeat Obito. My insistence on finding Sasuke is to increase the success rate."

Actually, finding Sasuke wasn't the hardest part; the real challenge was figuring out how to meet with Obito.

Even with Sasuke's help, it would be useless if Obito never showed up.

With that thought in mind, Naruto bid farewell to Ino and returned to the moon with Hinata.

Hinata entered the kitchen with great interest to prepare dinner for herself and Naruto.

Naruto sat on the balcony, deep in thought.

"what's up?"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind.

Naruto was stunned.

Turning around, I saw a grown-up Sasuke emerging from behind the curtains.

Chapter 240 Severed Finger

"Dinner's ready, Naruto-kun, wash your hands and get ready..." Hinata said abruptly as she entered the room.

Sasuke glanced at Hinata and nodded: "I understand. I will help if needed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished in an instant.

As Naruto walked past her, Hinata, who was going to wash her hands, said awkwardly, "Um, did I interrupt your conversation?"

"Why do you think that?" Naruto asked, glancing sideways.

"I've said everything I needed to say, and he's agreed to help."
