Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

While Naruto was enjoying the care of his family, on the other side, Itachi Uchiha looked at his adorable younger brother and a thought struck him.

He immediately pulled out a pair of fluffy black cat ear hair clips from his pocket, and with a gentle smile on his face, he walked step by step toward Uchiha Sasuke, who was leaning against the railing, trying his best to maintain a cool and aloof image.

"Sasuke," Itachi Uchiha called softly.

Sasuke Uchiha turned his head warily: "What are you doing, brother...?"

Before he finished speaking, Itachi Uchiha had already swiftly placed the pair of cat ear hair clips on Sasuke Uchiha's head with gentle and precise movements.

With a soft "click," the hair clip was secured.

Sasuke Uchiha froze.

On his soft black hair, a pair of black cat ears stood up playfully, creating a striking contrast with his refined and aloof face and slightly widened eyes... making him incredibly cute.

After a brief silence—

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!" Naruto was the first to burst out laughing, clutching his stomach and doubled over with laughter. "Sasuke, you... hahaha... cat ears! They suit you so well, hahahaha!"

Mizuki joined in the cheering, letting out a loud whistle: "Wow! So cool, Sasuke! This look is definitely going to be on tomorrow's headlines!"

Sasuke Uchiha's face instantly flushed red, from his ears all the way down to his neck. He reached out to remove that damned cat ear hair clip, but Itachi Uchiha gently pressed his hand down.

"Nii-san!!!" Sasuke Uchiha was both embarrassed and angry, his voice rising eight octaves.

The two of them started arguing, one wanting to pick the fruit and the other refusing, which only made the surrounding laughter louder.

Amidst this joyful atmosphere, it was time to take photos.

When the photographer asked everyone to take their positions and was about to press the shutter, Hinata Hyuga, who always presented herself as dashing and heroic, suddenly did something unexpected.

She gently untied the hair ribbon that held her hair back.

Her long, purple hair, usually tied up high, cascaded down like a waterfall, flowing smoothly over her shoulders and back. A gentle breeze stirred, causing the strands to flutter softly.

She turned her head slightly, a faint, gentle smile on her face.

At that moment, the once strong and spirited young woman seemed to have instantly transformed. An indescribable gentleness, elegance, and tranquility emanated from her, like a quietly blooming orchid in spring, stunning everyone present.

The surrounding sounds seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Ino's mouth dropped open, Karin's eyes sparkled, and even Mio stopped chasing Naruto.

"Hinata...so beautiful..." someone murmured.

Only from the window on the upper floor of the Hokage Building, two pairs of eyes quietly fell on the purple-haired girl.

Uchiha Yao and Namikaze Minato stood side by side behind the window, their gazes piercing through the glass as they quietly observed everything on the rooftop.

"That little girl from the Hyuga clan..." Minato narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry, "She's not simple."

Uchiha Yao did not answer immediately; his gaze, sharp as an eagle's, was fixed on Hinata. To be precise, it was fixed on the depths of her pure white eyes.

Just moments ago, as Hinata let down her hair and her demeanor changed, a faint, almost imperceptible pale blue light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

If Uchiha You hadn't possessed a soul perception far exceeding that of ordinary people and maintained a high level of vigilance, he probably would have overlooked this fleeting phenomenon.

What bothered him even more was that the moment he and Minato turned their gazes toward Hinata, the girl seemed to sense something and very slightly tilted her head toward the window where they were!

Although she quickly returned to normal, as if she had simply turned her neck unintentionally, Uchiha Yao was certain that it was not a coincidence.

This newly graduated genin girl was able to accurately sense the well-concealed gazes of two powerful figures standing at the top of the ninja world.

This sensory ability far surpasses that of ordinary genin, and even many chunin and special jonin are unable to reach.

A deep interest and contemplation flashed in Uchiha Yao's eyes.

After taking the group photo, everyone was free to move around, chatting and exchanging contact information in small groups.

Just then, Hinata Hyuga took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. She turned around and walked quickly towards the Hokage Building.

She arrived at the entrance of the Hokage Building and happened to run into Uchiha Yao, who was walking out of the building.

"Hokage-sama!" Hinata's voice carried a hint of nervousness, but more so a firm resolve.

Uchiha Yao stopped and looked at her calmly.

Hinata quickly stepped forward, carefully took a beautifully wrapped small box from her bosom, and presented it to Uchiha Yao with both hands. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her voice was a little lower than usual:

"Hokage-sama... this is... a gift I prepared myself. Thank you for your continued dedication to Konoha, and thank you for... creating such a wonderful environment for our generation."

"Please...accept this."

Uchiha Yao raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze lingering for a moment on Hinata's slightly flushed face before settling on the exquisite box. He didn't immediately reach out to take it, but instead asked in a calm tone:

"Hinata Hyuga, is that right?"

"Yes!" Hinata replied quickly, her heart beating faster than usual.

"Your eyes..." Uchiha Yao's gaze fell on her pure white eyes, and he said slowly, "They are very pure and unique. They are among the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen."

Hinata was stunned.

Those pure white eyes widened instantly.

From childhood to adulthood, people have praised her identity, her hard work, her talent, and even her appearance.

But never... never a single person has ever praised her eyes.

Because the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is seen by many as a symbol of "monsters," a synonym for "terrifying," and a pair of eyes that are forever pure white, without pupils, and seem to be able to see through all disguises.

But at this moment, Uchiha You—the one who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world and whom she admired most—told her that her eyes were beautiful.

In an instant, an indescribable surge of emotion welled up in my heart and rushed to my eyes.

Hinata's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, burning like fire, and her heart pounded so loudly it seemed the entire Hokage Building could hear it. She lowered her head, unable to meet Uchiha Yao's eyes, her voice barely a whisper, trembling slightly:

"Thank you... thank you, Hokage-sama..."

Uchiha Yao reached out and took the gift from her hand, nodding slightly: "I accept the gift. I look forward to your performance in the Chunin Exams."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the Hokage Building.

Hinata was left standing there alone, covering her burning cheeks, unable to calm down for a long time.

Afterwards, in the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Yao sat behind his desk, a thick file spread out in front of him. It was Hinata Hyuga's complete record from when she entered the Ninja Academy until now, including her scores in every exam, her teachers' comments, her mission completion status, and... the records of the Anbu's secret observations.

He flipped through the pages, his gaze growing increasingly solemn.

Hinata's outstanding academic performance is well-known. But the files reveal much more than that.

The records show that this girl didn't rely solely on her talent. For years, she worked tirelessly, resting only six hours a day and devoting the rest of her time to rigorous training. Physical training, Gentle Fist practice, chakra control, tactical theory study... her schedule was packed full, with almost no free time.

This kind of perseverance is comparable to that of Might Guy, the blue beast known throughout the ninja world for his "effort," and his disciple Rock Lee.

Extreme effort, coupled with top-tier bloodline talent, and an extraordinary level of perception and combat intuition...

All of this combined to create Hinata Hyuga, who was able to consistently outperform the perfectly growing Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, and firmly hold the top spot in her grade.

Uchiha Yao was silent for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote a note on the cover of the file:

"Effective immediately, Hinata Hyuga's personal file is upgraded to S-class Top Secret."

"His younger sister, Hinata Hanabi, has had her file level upgraded to A."

"He has been included in the key training list, received preferential treatment in resources, and is required to report his progress to me regularly."

He put down his pen, turned his gaze to the window, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

This era is teeming with geniuses.

And that girl with the purest eyes may well become the brightest star among them.

At the same time, a member of the secret service appeared silently in the office, knelt on one knee, and presented a new intelligence report.

"Lord Hokage, we have the results of the investigation into Sarutobi Konohamaru."

Uchiha Yao took the information and began to read it.

After the Sarutobi clan was wiped out, the once unruly young master seemed to have grown up overnight. His chakra reserves skyrocketed within a few months, reaching a level far exceeding that of his peers and even surpassing many adult Chunin. At the same time, he displayed astonishing talent in learning ninjutsu, as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment.

Intelligence analysis suggests that Konohamaru likely possesses a latent bloodline limit, possibly stemming from the powerful life force and chakra of the Uzumaki clan, or perhaps from the Sage Mode characteristics of the Senju clan. The awakening of this latent bloodline limit is likely the result of human intervention—someone behind the scenes has forcibly activated his bloodline potential through some means.

After reading the intelligence, Uchiha Yao's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Forced grafting of power is ultimately like a tree without roots or water without a source." He casually placed the intelligence report on the table, his tone flat. "It may seem prosperous and splendid, but it's actually like cooking oil over a raging fire. If the foundation is unstable, problems will arise sooner or later."

"There's no need to deliberately suppress it, nor to pay too much attention to it. Just wait for it to dissipate on its own."

"Yes." The member of the secret service acknowledged the order and disappeared again.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The most prestigious barbecue restaurant in Konoha was bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter.

A get-together for Jonin and Genin, generously funded by Mei Terumi, is being held here.

The restaurant was steaming hot, the aroma of grilled meat filling the air, mingling with laughter and cheerful conversation. Kakashi, Guy, Uchiha Shisui, Yakushi Kabuto, Kurenai Yuhi, and other elite Konoha Jonin gathered together, chatting and laughing. All the past genius teams were also present, a truly magnificent gathering of the new generation of powerhouses.

In the squad led by Yekura, Temari from Sunagakure, Tenten from Konoha, and Haku, who possessed the Ice Release bloodline limit, were sitting together, talking in hushed tones.

In Tayuya's squad, Hotaru, Sakura Haruno, and other girls were surrounding Mei Terumi, chattering away and asking her all sorts of questions.

On Guy's side, Neji remained serious, while Rock Lee enthusiastically promoted his "Way of Youth" to those around him, and Shino Aburame sat quietly in a corner, his presence barely noticeable.

On the Shisui team's side, Sai, Kimimaro, Jugo, and other new generation geniuses were quietly eating barbecue, occasionally exchanging glances.

These young people, from different regions, families, and backgrounds, met, bonded, and formed friendships tonight. United in purpose, they swore an oath to fight for Konoha and claim glory in the upcoming Chunin Exams.

During the gathering, many clear-headed Jonin understood that Uchiha Yao had deliberately arranged for the surrendered ninjas from the Land of Water and the Land of Wind to be led by native Konoha Jonin, while the scions of Konoha's local elite families were taught by outstanding ninjas from outside the village (such as Terumi Mei and Pakura). This seemingly "crossover" arrangement was actually intended to accelerate the integration between the various clans, eliminate barriers, and solidify the unity and solidarity of the village.

As the party reached its climax, the store door was suddenly pulled open.

Two figures walked in side by side.

When the person who came into view saw his face, the once bustling and noisy barbecue restaurant instantly fell silent.

Uchiha Yao, Namikaze Minato.

Uchiha Yao and the Fourth Hokage made a joint appearance.

The entire audience fell silent in respect, and everyone instinctively stood up, ready to pay their respects.

Uchiha Yao waved his hand, a rare, amiable smile on his face. He raised his wine glass and addressed the crowd:

"Tonight there's no Hokage, no superiors, just companions to drink and eat with."

"Make yourselves at home, don't be shy."

He was the first to drink his wine, and his easygoing and carefree attitude instantly dispelled the tension and restraint in everyone's hearts.

The atmosphere became lively again, even more so than before.

Uchiha You and Minato moved through the crowd, clinking glasses and exchanging words of encouragement. Their presence undoubtedly infused the gathering with a stronger sense of cohesion and unity.

Before parting, Uchiha You walked to Mei Terumi and Pakura's side and whispered something:

"Don't drink too much tonight, go home early."

Mei Terumi and Yekura exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of a smile and warmth in each other's eyes, and nodded in unison, replying, "Yes, Hokage-sama."

As night deepened, the lights dimmed.

The new generation of Konoha is thriving in this peaceful and hopeful era.

The upcoming Chunin Exams, which will sweep across the entire ninja world, will be their first stage to shine.
