Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Naruto-kun, are you alright?" Hinata, who was kneeling beside him, was still wearing her pajamas and asked with a worried expression.

"I'm fine," Naruto said instinctively, rubbing his forehead.

The experience in the dream was incredibly real, vivid and clear in my mind.

Given his outward appearance, he was sleeping very soundly and could not be woken up by ordinary means.

It was the Wood Release clone that mobilized the power of the Six Paths, slapping Naruto's face to inject the chakra of all things into his body, thus waking him up with pain.

"You scared me to death! If you weren't still breathing and your soul was still inside your body, I would have thought you were dead," Hinata said with a worried expression.

"So, is this a side effect of reviving Sakura?"

“We can’t deny that that’s one reason.” Naruto pondered, “I think there are other factors involved as well.”

As he spoke, Naruto closed his eyes and, through his inner senses, that is, his consciousness, saw Kaguya face to face.

“You did it, didn’t you?” Naruto said.

"What?" Kaguya asked, puzzled.

"Stop pretending, that dream was unbelievably real," Naruto said.

"My sleep isn't that deep; I'm a very light sleeper, and I wake up at the slightest noise."

"It's really not normal that he only woke up this time with the help of a powerful external force."

"Besides you, who else would do such a thing?"

"What are you talking about?" Kaguya asked, bewildered and helpless.

"You suspect that I'm the reason you're in a deep sleep. But ask yourself, in my current state, even with all my might, I can't move an inch. What can I possibly do?"

"Kurama, did you sense anything unusual while I was asleep?" Naruto asked Kurama, trying to focus on something else.

"No, everything is normal." Nine Lama shook his head.

“Even if you don’t admit it, I’ve already become suspicious of you. You know the consequences of arousing my suspicion,” Naruto said to Kaguya.

"The day I fully mature will be the day you perish."

"If you insist on smearing me, even if I had a hundred mouths, I couldn't defend myself," Kaguya sighed in despair.

"The initiative is in your hands; you can think whatever you want."

Kaguya's life level is too high to peer into her memories, and her appearance makes it impossible to discern the truth from her appearance. Naruto sneered and interrupted the conversation.

“Although there’s no evidence, it’s probably her doing.” Naruto said to Hinata, “To be on the safe side, I won’t sleep anymore until I eliminate her.”

"Will it be okay if I don't sleep?" Hinata couldn't feel at ease.

"Yes, as long as I stay clear-headed and don't give her any opportunity, control will always be with me," Naruto affirmed.

He repeatedly assured her that he was alright.

Hinata used her X-ray vision to check the place inside and out several times before the matter was temporarily put to rest.

He had his usual half-hour morning exercise, with Hinata as his opponent, to practice and hone his combat skills so that they wouldn't become rusty.

Go to the bathroom to wash up.

Eat breakfast.

Upon learning that Hanabi was still unconscious, Naruto went to see her. He found that Hanabi was in good condition and had plenty of energy to support the Byakugan's transformation, so no further replenishment was needed.

After that, Naruto didn't go anywhere. He just stayed in Hinata's yard, on a recliner, sunbathing.

Hinata not only asked him to rest more and not to run around, but he himself was also so overwhelmed by this feeling of powerlessness that he didn't have the energy to do much.

Training in underwater swimming or undergoing high-intensity, high-pressure training in Kaguya's supergravity space would be far too difficult.

Given his current condition, it is absolutely impossible for him to do so.

A few simple activities are fine, such as sparring or wrestling with Hinata.

Forget about intense, strenuous workouts.

Lying on my back with my eyes half-open, staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze caressing my face, this lazy feeling is quite comfortable.

However, Naruto was still troubled by the dream he had last night.

Well, I've let myself go too much. Even if it's just a dream, how can I let my guard down?

He married so many wives in one go, and they're always inseparable, it's simply... simply...

"This is so awesome," Naruto muttered to himself.

To be fair, the dream did fulfill his inner desires, and the process was fascinating.

It was precisely this abnormal feeling that made Naruto even more certain that Kaguya was behind it all.

If this isn't Infinite Tsukuyomi, what is it?

Chapter 267 Neither Sorrow nor Joy

The three days we had planned passed in the blink of an eye.

Ninjas are known for their speed and efficiency.

Under the Hokage's orders, the Konoha ninjas who were away from home returned to the village as quickly as possible, and under the coordination of the Anbu, they were sorted out.

Those who cannot accept or acknowledge Naruto, and those who do acknowledge or acknowledge Naruto, are categorized into one group.

Those who had already accepted Naruto were divided into another category.

From a six-year-old child who has just entered the Ninja Academy and has refined his chakra, to an elderly man in his seventies or eighties who has retired.

Even in hospitals, for patients whose injuries or illnesses are not particularly serious and whose lives are not in danger.

Almost everyone who could come came.

"That, that, that, and that."

Standing high above, on the shadow rock of the first pillar, he looked down at everyone.

Naruto reached out, seemingly pointing randomly, but he actually pointed out those strangers who harbored ill intentions towards him.

Knowing that Naruto possessed the ability to sense malice and also understood the scope of malice, Tsunade said nothing and simply waved her hand.

He signaled to the secret service to take action and remove those who had infiltrated the area.

After two rounds of selection, the final number of ninjas who met the requirements was 46,133.

"Is that all?" Tsunade asked when Naruto looked at her.

“Hmm.” Naruto nodded and said, “We might not have enough people, but with the summoning beasts from the three great sage lands, that should be about right.”

"There are no three great immortal lands, there are two," Tsunade corrected.

"Jiraiya and Minato can summon the toads of Mount Myōboku through spirit communication."

"I, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata can summon a part of the Slug Sage's body from Shikkotsu Forest."

"We can't reach Ryuchi Cave, so we can't expect them to help us."

Naruto scratched his face and casually said, "Anyway, I have a plan."

Orochimaru and Sasuke are both Konoha rogue ninja, so it's not appropriate for them to appear openly in public.

Furthermore, Tsunade's favorability towards these two people plummeted to zero due to what they had done.

To avoid upsetting Tsunade, Naruto concealed the truth about Orochimaru and Sasuke from them; the only ones who knew were Hinata, Sakura, and Ino.

Tsunade gave Naruto a strange look, and as if she had thought of something, her eyes became deep.

We didn't delve into this matter further; there are more important things to do right now.

“No problem, let’s begin,” Tsunade said.

"Okay." Naruto nodded.

As Naruto requested, everyone stood hand in hand.

They stood in layers, three inside and three outside, several times.

On the outermost edge are Tsunade, Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Jiraiya, and Minato.

Separated by a distance were Sasuke and Orochimaru, both wearing masks and cloaks that concealed their entire bodies.

Seeing that everyone was ready, they looked at each other and, without prior agreement, bit their thumbs to form the hand seals for the spirit communication spell.

"Psychic art."

Bang bang bang bang bang!

A series of huge plumes of smoke rose up, and what appeared in sight was a behemoth that many veteran Konoha ninjas were very familiar with.

snake.

Toad.

Slug.

Based on the current situation at Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, a large size does not necessarily mean the strongest; on the contrary, smaller sizes are often more terrifying in strength.

The two toad sages of Mount Myōboku.

And Ryūchi-dō, where three goddesses transformed into human form.

The Shikkotsu Forest only has the Slug Sage, so the same example cannot be applied to it.

Prior to this, we had already exchanged greetings and everyone knew what was going to be done, so...

As soon as these summoned beasts appeared, they cooperated by making contact with the person closest to them.

On the First Shadow Rock, Naruto, who had been holding his hands together for a while, sensed something and slowly opened his eyes.

Below, there was a dense crowd of people, all standing in an orderly fashion, holding hands.

This is not a collection of separate individuals, but a group composed of numerous lives.

"Kurama, it's time to go," Naruto's consciousness said.

"Heh." Nine Lama chuckled softly.

The human and the fox were, first and foremost, of one mind.
