Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"The Sand Ninja who remained in the Four Purple Flame Formation was probably used as a sacrificial offering."

So, who will be the third one?

"Huh? This is it!"

Suddenly noticing Hinata and Hanabi's life force rapidly shifting, Naruto narrowed his eyes, leaving a shadow clone behind to watch over them. He then unleashed his full speed and vanished in an instant.

~~~

"I never expected to be so lucky as to run into these two members of the main clan. I also never expected that the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja would attack Konoha. This is a lucky break for me, hehe."

The man in the Hidden Clouds was secretly delighted, but his face remained impassive.

Suddenly, lightning filled my entire field of vision, and I was completely immersed in lightning.

The numbness causes consciousness and body to feel as if separated by a thick membrane, losing their connection.

A terrifying chakra attack followed one after another.

In slow motion.

A fist, crackling with electricity and enveloped in crimson chakra, slammed into his left cheek.

That punch was far too powerful.

Furthermore, his body was paralyzed by the Lightning Release chakra, causing him to lose the initiative and be completely unable to react or prepare any defense.

The Cloud Hidden Man's head was smashed open.

It's like a watermelon that's been hit by a baseball bat.

The Nine-Tails' chakra transformed into a giant hand, protecting the sack well. Upon opening it, they found the two sisters with their afro hairstyles had been awakened from unconsciousness by electric shock.

"Naruto! Naruto! Naruto! Your Majesty!"

"Sister-in-law! Sister! Sister!"

My mouth is so numb I can't control it.

"..." Naruto.

To ensure success and prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he opted for a decisive, one-hit kill.

He tried his best to direct most of his Lightning Release chakra towards the Cloud Village man, and the small amount of Lightning Release chakra that spilled out could only be considered accidental injury.

It's alright, it'll just be numb for a while.

"You weren't at home? How did you get kidnapped? Don't tell me you two ran away on your own..." Naruto said.

Hinata lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Naruto.

Hanabi stammered, her mouth trembling, "This, this, no, I want to see my brother-in-law, you, you, it's been so long, are you done competing yet? No."

"We just came out, who knew we would encounter something like this?"

Chapter 78 The End of Konoha's Collapse

"No disdain from a caged bird!"

"What did you say!"

"Quick, chase them! Those white eyes, we can use them as soon as we gouge them out!"

"There are two pairs! Those are the Hyuga main family sisters!"

Naruto, with Hinata in his left arm and Hanabi in his right, headed straight for the Hyuga clan. Inevitably, they were spotted by someone with ulterior motives, and a pursuit ensued.

Naruto calmly responded by unleashing the Nine-Tails' chakra, creating a thick chakra cloak that enveloped Hinata and Hanabi.

Shuriken, kunai, senbon, ninja swords, ninjutsu—all attacks that came at them were blocked.

The Nine-Tails' chakra, moving at will, transformed into a giant hand, then clenched into a fist and slammed down forcefully.

Even the ground is as fragile as tofu, let alone a ninja. Basically, if they even graz the edge, they will either die or be seriously injured.

More than a dozen shadow clones accompanied them, providing protection.

"Amazing!" exclaimed Hanabi, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

I only knew that my brother-in-law had a terrifying amount of chakra, but I didn't expect his combat power to be so high. It seems that he was holding back a lot during our sparring sessions.

"It's so warm..." Hinata with her afro felt very safe.

There is no better experience than being protected by someone you love. If there is, it must be when you fight side by side with that person.

It's not about one-sided protection, but about mutual help and support.

We must continue our efforts.

I am the best, and I can definitely achieve it.

Hinata's feelings, or rather her wishes and beliefs, grew stronger with each passing moment.

Deep within, unmoving, Hamura's chakra, which had calmed down after the last rhythmic movement, began to ripple once more.

Sealed space.

Kurama, who had been feigning sleep with its eyes closed and wasn't worried about Naruto's safety at all, suddenly opened its eyes: "This feeling... my chakra is being absorbed!"

Tell Naruto about this.

Naruto glanced at Hinata instinctively.

Such an anomaly couldn't have occurred without a reason. What condition did Hinata trigger? Did she activate Hamura's chakra?

Since that's the case, it's not good to interrupt it now.

Hinata needs to be given enough time to absorb more of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Thinking it over, Naruto changed direction, no longer heading towards the Hyuga clan, but instead dealing with the pursuing ninjas first, and then said.

"Do me a favor. Use your Byakugan to find ninjas with different headbands. Are they enemies, or just opportunists taking advantage of the chaos?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll do it!" Hanabi perked up and immediately rolled her eyes.

"Me too," Hinata quickly said, activating her Byakugan as well.

"Still absorbing?" Naruto asked Kurama.

"Hmm." Nine-Tails nodded. "What do you know?"

"I'm not sure, but absorbing your chakra definitely won't be a bad thing. After all, your chakra is a treasure," Naruto said.

"Heh, you've spoken the truth. When it comes to the quality and quantity of chakra, no one can compare to me," Kurama said confidently.

"Oh? What about the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?" Naruto asked.

"..." Nine-tailed Fox.

In order to allow Hinata to absorb more of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto took the two sisters on a long journey, fighting and killing Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja.

When Konoha ninjas and villagers were in mortal danger and in urgent need of help, Naruto, with a blank expression, offered his assistance in order to set a good example for young Hanabi.

After going through all this, he gained a lot of reputation. At the very least, those who received his help will no longer point fingers or gossip about him.

Suddenly, a loud bang occurred.

Naruto leaped onto the roof and saw Gamabunta, whose size was comparable to a tailed beast, and Manda, whose size was similar, appear at the edge of his vision.

The two sides then engaged in a fierce fight.

Without Naruto's instructions, the shadow clone used the Chakra Sensing Technique and then deliberately dispelled itself, allowing Naruto to know the specific situation.

The life force and chakra response of the Third Hokage disappeared.

Two impure world reincarnations also disappeared.

"Can you see that? What's going on over there?" Naruto asked.

"It's too far away, I can't see it." Hanabi shook her head.

Hinata was about to shake her head when she belatedly realized that her Byakugan's field of vision still seemed to have some capacity left, and could even be extended.

I tried it, and it actually worked!

While feeling greatly puzzled, Hinata exerted her full strength.

"That's a battle between two groups. We are from Konoha, and our opponents are from Sunagakure and Otoku... Ah! That's the Hokage!"

Hinata was speechless with shock upon seeing the deceased Third Hokage.

"Is there anyone on that giant snake? How many? And what is their condition? Describe what they look like," Naruto asked.

"Oh!" Hinata stammered, "Yes, there was someone lying on top of the snake's head, and his leg looked like it was necrotic?"

"There was also a red-haired woman standing next to her. She looked very strange. There were cracks on her skin and her eyes were lifeless."

The red-haired woman, could it be...?

Naruto gritted his teeth.

After hearing Hinata describe the woman's appearance, Hinata realized that it was not Kushina, but Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hashirama.

It wasn't Mito Uzumaki who died too old to get out of bed, but rather Mito Uzumaki in her younger days.

What's going on with this Impure World Reincarnation? It's stuck. Why are some people young and some old? Or is it that the age can be controlled by the caster?

"Is it because of Mito Uzumaki that Orochimaru's hands were sealed instead of his legs?" Naruto pondered.

ask.

Orochimaru, whose hands have been crippled.

Orochimaru, whose legs have been crippled.

Which is stronger?

Orochimaru, whose legs were crippled, must be stronger.

Orochimaru himself modified his body, transforming into a snake. Even without legs, he could crawl like a snake, and his speed wouldn't necessarily be much slower.

As long as you still have both hands and can use ninjutsu normally, the difference won't be too great.

"Such a huge change has occurred simply because of the addition of a Sand Ninja sacrifice." Naruto remained silent.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse after Jiraiya entered Sage Mode.
