Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"What's going on?!"

The Sage of Six Paths looked utterly astonished.

He didn't understand why his physical body had become like this.

Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly. Seeing that Naruto's expression was also a bit strange, she gently tugged at Naruto's sleeve.

He asked in a low voice, "Naruto... what happened to him?"

Naruto glanced at the Sage of Six Paths, who was lost in self-doubt.

He shook his head and said, "It's most likely because his physical body was reshaped using the Ten-Tails' chakra."

"Ten-Tails?"

"Reconstructing...the physical body?"

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned for a moment, as these all touched upon areas where her knowledge was lacking.

"All I know is that tailed beasts exist... Reshaping physical bodies?"

"Is he dead?"

"Wait, did he come back to life?"

Naruto patiently explained things to Uchiha Hikaru, who was as curious as a baby.

Moreover, it's questionable whether the Sage of Six Paths can even maintain his true self now.

Ignore him and let him do whatever he wants.

Naruto was quite helpless about this.

After all, the old man of the Six Paths has big ambitions, so it's best to kill him.

Unexpectedly, this guy himself became a different kind of White Zetsu.

Although the physical body was reshaped.

However, it uses the chakra of the Ten-Tails.

There is also the natural energy of the ninja world.

Ultimately, as long as he still possesses the Ten-Tails' chakra, he remains a high-ranking White Zetsu.

"So that's how it is..." Uchiha Hikaru lowered his head slightly.

He glanced at the Sage of Six Paths, whose gaze was somewhat vacant.

She glanced at Naruto again.

Even at a time like this... he still patiently explained things to me...

clatter--

"Little friend, don't always let your mind wander."

Seeing Naruto's lips curl slightly into a smile, Uchiha Hikaru was filled with shame and indignation.

Why can he always read my mind?!

and also!

I'm not a little kid!!

at the same time.

Above the snow-covered ground in the north.

Rumble—!!!

Inside the castle, which was covered in a layer of "armor" of snow.

A loud roar rang out.

A figure violently smashed the door open.

Snowflakes fell slowly from the sky.

It landed on someone's hat.

Behind the burly man, a figure that resembled a woman slowly emerged.

The figure was rather slender, with pale skin and long gray hair.

Strangely, this person had no eyebrows and two protruding bones on his forehead.

It has two forward-curving, rabbit-ear-like hard horns on its head.

Beneath the veil, her eyes were entirely white.

A gentle breeze caressed his face, lifting the man's veil.

He slowly raised his head and looked around at the snow-covered earth.

"Did you find it?"

"no."

"It's alright, let's follow that scent."

"Let's go, Kim."

"yes!"

call--

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, whipping up the gently falling snowflakes.

whoosh-

next moment.

Momoshiki and Kinshiki, who arrived ahead of time, simply vanished from their original positions.

Meanwhile, on the moon, Toneri had already begun sending messages to Naruto.

But the moon is now imprisoned by the Kinshiki and Momoshiki.

All means of communication have been lost.

After trying for a long time, Sheren finally gave up.

"Those two are up to no good... They're from the same clan as Lady Kaguya... Communication methods have failed."

"Then we'll have to reopen the passage between the moon and the ninja world."

Thinking it over, the servant slowly raised his hand and began to form a hand seal.

Just as he was about to reopen the passage between the moon and the ninja world.

A voice suddenly rang in his mind.

But the voice was incredibly familiar.

"I understand, no need to bother."

It's Naruto-sama's voice!

The servant immediately knelt on one knee, his face full of respect.

"Yes, I understand."

He dared not disobey Naruto.

But I'm still worried.

However, since it's Naruto-sama... those two definitely won't be able to cause any trouble.

......

"What's wrong?"

"Who are you talking to?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked, puzzled.

"The guardian of the moon."

"A...guardian on the moon?"

Gollum—

Hikaru Uchiha swallowed hard.

She realized something.

He lowered his head and fidgeted with his ankles, looking somewhat helpless.

Finally, he gently pressed his forehead against Naruto's back.

Her ears turned red.

Her little face was as rosy as a ripe apple.

She asked hesitantly:

"Naruto...fighting you with kunai...isn't that hilarious?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto was visibly taken aback.

This girl...

"Of course not."

Hearing Naruto's answer.

Uchiha Hikaru didn't feel any better; on the contrary, he felt even more embarrassed.

Her little toe is so thick it's almost like she's carved out a three-bedroom apartment.

No wonder Naruto said he was cute back then... so that's why...

Umm~!

Uchiha Hikaru patted his burning cheeks.

But the next moment, her whole body stiffened.

"Not everyone is strong, and not everyone is a ninja."

"For example, if a genin or a civilian treats me as an enemy and attacks me with a kunai, I won't find it funny."

"Of course, this is not absolute."

"For example—"

Naruto drew out a long syllable, and Uchiha Hikaru nervously gripped his hand.

Seeing Naruto looking at her, she bit her red lips and quickly shook her head, implying to Naruto not to say anything more, otherwise she would lose her social skills.

"For example, some people have a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, or even the Mangekyou Sharingan...possessing powerful ocular techniques."

"Even the eye techniques of those Mangekyou Sharingan, under certain conditions, are comparable to the power to destroy the world."

"But then~"

"The owner of those eyes attacked me with a kunai... Oh right, her eyes were open at the time..."

"Ah~!"

Uchiha Hikaru screamed in a low voice, filled with shame and indignation.

Then he bit Naruto's hand hard.

He turned his head away, humming and muttering something under his breath.

Naruto chuckled, raised his head, and looked at the Sage of Six Paths who had gone offline as soon as they met.

At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths, standing before Naruto and Uchiha Hikaru, displayed an extremely interesting facial expression.

His left cheek showed anger and confusion.

His right cheek showed reverence and fervor.

"What did you do to me?!"

"Ashura... Meow... Ah~!!"

hum-

The Sage of Six Paths' mind went blank for a moment.

He never imagined that such words, such a tone, would come out of his throat.

hateful!!

Out of anger, the Sage of Six Paths temporarily took over the body.

I punched my own heart hard!

Get out of here, you horny heart!

He then took several steps back.

A burning sensation, both painful and itchy, came from my chest.

He never imagined that this body, reshaped with the Ten-Tails' chakra and the natural energy of the ninja world, would be like this.

The first time he got injured, it was actually because he hurt himself.

The Sage of Six Paths was truly speechless at this.

At that moment, he deeply regretted reshaping his physical body.

If he hadn't rebuilt his physical body, Naruto wouldn't be in such a vulnerable position in front of him now.

Even if Naruto's strength is beyond imagination, at least... he won't have to feel so frustrated.

The Sage of Six Paths could sense it and foresee it.

If he doesn't continue to fight for power with this new body, he'll soon be kneeling in front of Naruto, calling him "Naruto-sama" and licking his toes.

For the Sage of Six Paths, the patriarch of the Ninja Clan, this was undoubtedly more painful than being killed.

Just as he thought of this, the Sage of Six Paths' lips moved slightly.

"Naruto-sama~!"
