Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 683 Cognitive Modification

Hinata's ancestral home:

The now very old Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, were drinking together at their ancestral home, discussing matters concerning the younger generation of their family.

Boruto, the son of Naruto and Hinata, Rei Hyuga, the daughter of Neji and Tenten, Sarada Uchiha, and Chocho Akimichi of the Akimichi clan are all ready to lead their own teams.

In other words, they have become Jonin.

Under the current system in Konoha Village, becoming a Jonin is not an easy thing.

However, none of these people are simple individuals.

Especially Chocho Akimichi. Don't let her somewhat overweight figure fool you. If she really goes all out, together with Inojin Yamanaka, the son of Shikadai Nara and Ino Yamanaka, the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho would be incredibly powerful.

Even if Boruto didn't use the Six Paths Power (mass-produced), he wouldn't be a match for them.

Even Kawaki, who hadn't yet become a CS player, was no match for the three of them working together.

In this situation, many people even believe that the strongest of the new generation is the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

It's something that makes people unable to hold back.

Of course, this is also because Boruto has not yet awakened his Byakugan.

While peaceful times bring happiness, it must be acknowledged that they are not necessarily a good thing for ninjas.

At least for ninjas with ideals and ambitions who want to become stronger, fewer battles and fewer life-or-death struggles mean that relying solely on training to grow stronger is simply not an option.

After Yuya's death, Konoha Village's development shifted more towards the technology sector.

This doesn't mean Hinata didn't want to develop ninja capabilities; it's just that reality is what it is, and there's nothing she can do about it.

Yuya's foundation is incredibly solid.

Even if Hinata wanted to focus on ninjas and develop more and stronger ninjutsu, the ability of a single missile to destroy a country on the technological side is something that ordinary ninjutsu can never achieve.

Even among the Six Paths Ninjutsu, only a handful possess such power.

However, some people have now proposed the idea of technological ninjutsu.

As the name suggests, it is a combination of technology and ninjutsu.

Many people believe that combining the two will unleash even greater power.

And that is indeed the case.

However, for true ninjas, this kind of research can be considered heretical and unorthodox.

People like Naruto and Sasuke would never accept the enhancement of technological ninjutsu.

They don't need technological ninjutsu.

Of course, the two of them understood the convenience of technology, so they carried quite a few technological items, though most of them were auxiliary.

This time, a secret realm has appeared around Konoha Village. This secret realm is very magical; people over the age of twenty will be ejected from it.

In order to explore this secret place, Hinata ordered the formation of an elite team to investigate, and her son Boruto was the first to take the lead.

For Hinata, Boruto is not a hothouse flower; she must make Hinata set a good example for others.

That way, others will believe in her as Hokage and be willing to help her.

The information that Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were discussing was the latest information brought by these people.

That secret realm is undoubtedly related to the Otsutsuki clan.

It is even very likely that it is related to the very mysterious Otsutsuki god.

This was something no one expected.

However, the age limit of twenty has already excluded many people.

Nevertheless, Hinata has already given orders to do everything in their power to break the restrictions of that secret realm.

Moreover, with the assistance of Boruto and others inside, this operation should be successful.

This was precisely what Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were worried about at that moment.

If things really go wrong this time...

Then all their grandchildren would be doomed...

Soon after, the latest news came out.

The restrictions on the secret realm have been lifted.

Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were very happy.

However, just as the two were rejoicing, an invisible wave enveloped the entire world...

Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi froze for a moment, then both spoke in unison: "Someone wants to attack Lord Shibai?!"

Then, a storm that swept across the entire world began without any warning.

Apart from Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto, everyone else's perceptions were instantly altered.

This is the power of God...

……

In the space between life and death:

Hashirama Senju stared wide-eyed at the screen in front of him, grabbed Yua, and asked urgently, "What's going on?"

You Ya examined the situation carefully and then shrugged: "It seems that everyone's perception has been altered except for those four."

Simply put, they believe that Hinata, the Hokage, is the enemy, while the guy they're talking about, Otsutsuki Shibai, is on their side.

Hashirama Senju's eyes widened: "How could this be done?! Just who is this Otsutsuki Shibai?!"

You Ya touched his chin and shook his head.

That guy, Otsutsuki Shibai...

He'd never seen it in Shippuden, nor had he heard of it in Boruto...

That's right, Yua hasn't watched Boruto, but she has heard netizens in the Naruto mobile game group mention it.

It's said to be terrible, but it got better later on. Unfortunately, I wasn't interested at the time and didn't watch it. If I had known I would be transported to the world of Naruto, I would have watched it even if it was terrible.

Well, just looking at the manga, I've heard that Boruto is entirely the result of the animation team's mistakes, while the manga itself is excellent.

Forget it, there's no need to think about these things now.

The most important thing now is how to solve this problem.

You Ya stroked his chin thoughtfully, then sighed.

There's really no good solution.

They can only rely on themselves.

Yuya looked at Hashirama Senju helplessly: "We're all dead now, so let's not concern ourselves with the affairs of those who are still alive."

If this problem can be solved, the world will not be destroyed.

But if it can't be resolved...

That means our world is destined to be destroyed...

Hashirama Senju opened his mouth. Over the years, he had seen many other worlds destroyed, such as the other world where Tsunade was Hokage, the world where Danzo was Hokage, and other miscellaneous worlds...

However, he always believed that his world would not follow the path of those other worlds.

He has always believed this...

However, now...

The enemy is Otsutsuki Shibai, a member of the Otsutsuki clan who can be considered a god...

What to do...

What should I do?

Hashirama Senju gritted his teeth, his mind racing with thoughts.

What should I do...?

You Ya sighed, unsure of what to say.

Forget it, the person is already dead, so let's not worry about it anymore...

……

In the scene, Hinata and her three companions are constantly dodging the pursuit of their tense comrades.

They are now enemies of the world.

Moreover, because they were once comrades, they couldn't bring themselves to attack them and could only passively take the beating.

This was the first time Hinata and Boruto had ever witnessed something like this.

Furthermore, while altering their perceptions, Otsutsuki Shibai also used the destroyed barrier to add another layer of restriction to their Pure Eyes...

Hinata and Boruto, who had just awakened the Jōgan, were fine as long as they didn't use it.

But once you use eye cleansing...

Then their vision would immediately become hazy, and the Purifying Eyes' ability to purify everything would be powerless against this limitation.

Or rather, there is actually a way, because Otsutsuki Shibakai's restriction is effective for the entire ninja world, so leaving the ninja world would allow him to regain the ability to use the Byakugan.

Konoha Village possesses the ability to make people leave the ninja world...

So...

Are we going to the rocket launch silo?

After thinking for a moment, Hinata decided to take the risk.

There's no time to hesitate now.

No one knows whether this impact is temporary or will deepen over time.

In short, they had no choice but to get to the rocket launch site as soon as possible.

After sneaking in, Hinata discovered something very important.

The rocket launch site still uses the original setup.

The highest authority still rests with her, the Hokage.

Hinata only had a brief moment of confusion before she immediately understood.

That guy, Shiba Inu Ōtsutsuki... doesn't understand these technological creations!

Indeed, the restrictions apply to the entire ninja world, but if Ōtsutsuki Shibaaki wants to issue an order to change the settings of these facilities, he needs to understand the technological products and management systems here.

Moreover, it's not just a superficial understanding where you only know the name and which departments are involved.

He needed to understand the connections between the rocket launch silos in these facilities, the basic launch logic, and the various protective measures.

From childhood, children in Konoha Village have been taught that rockets need fuel to launch, and that fuel can be categorized into chemical fuels, new energy fuels, and mass-produced Six Paths Power fuels.

Fuels also have their own specifications for storage conditions, and they must be stored in different categories to avoid accidents. This is just one of the safety hazards related to fuel.

You need to understand how to set the rocket launch sequence, how to arrange the trajectory, how to return, how to recover, and so on.

You don't need to understand it too well, nor do you need to grasp the logic behind it, but you need to know "why".

For example, you need to know what the consequences will be if you don't store fuel properly. These are very simple things that even elementary school students can explain in detail.

However, the reason why rockets must be recovered involves some political factors to prevent other countries and forces from recovering them first.

These are things that Otsutsuki Shibaju could never understand.

It's impossible to understand in the short term.

This is an opportunity!

A...opportunity for them to launch a desperate counterattack!

As long as you get to the space station and then broadcast to the world from there, you're guaranteed to succeed!

Hinata was very excited.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto were also very happy.

They saw hope.

Afterwards, using her highest authority, Hinata led her people into the rocket launch silo, and then quickly began the ascent.

Just when the four were filled with joy and hope...

An attack... struck the rocket.

The rocket exploded in mid-air.

Even the most determined person has given up hope...

Otsutsuki Shibaki didn't understand the basic logic of these things, but he took a different approach and controlled the powerful military force of Konoha Village, namely the army.

The abnormality of this cognitive modification ability lies here.

The way the army uses its various weapons is very simple and brutal.

Moreover, all the weapons have only one objective: to kill more enemies.

Hinata and the other three did not die; it was just a small explosion, which they were able to withstand.

only……

The four of them were filled with despair.

This situation...

Really...

Is there any hope?

Otsutsuki Shibakai's abilities are indeed too abnormal.

His perception of everyone in the entire ninja world was altered, turning them into his slaves.

Even now, Otsutsuki Shibakai's true form has never appeared...

Even so, he had already instilled a sense of despair in Naruto and his companions...

gap……

too big……

"Thump"

At the same time, it wasn't just Naruto and his four companions who fell; Hashirama Senju, caught between life and death, also perished...

"Could it be... that Konoha Village... is really going to..." Hashirama Senju's hands trembled slightly. He could hardly believe that Konoha Village, which he had created with his own hands...

It will be so easily destroyed...

They had absolutely no ability to resist...

You Ya sighed. The enemy was too terrifying, and there was nothing he could do.

I don't know when, but more and more people gathered around.

Moreover, the Third Raikage, the Second Raikage, the First Five Kage, and the Second Five Kage all appeared here...

In the past, they didn't come because they didn't want to, since they would get beaten up by Hashirama Senju if they came.

But today...

Since it involved a disaster affecting the entire ninja world, they had no choice but to come.

However, things did not unfold as they had planned...

The entire ninja world was ordered by Otsutsuki Shibakai to relentlessly hunt down Naruto and his companions.

That's right, it's everyone in the entire ninja world.

Seeing this, Yuya sighed: "I've always been dedicated to uniting the entire ninja world, and I never expected to see it now, but unfortunately... it's in this kind of way."

Everyone else fell silent. Although Youya's statement was a bit of a cheesy joke, you know what...

This truly reflects the current situation...

Naruto and his companions were constantly being chased.

How many people are there in the entire ninja world?

The four of them were unaware.

But what they knew was that a dense, endless sea of people was hunting them down every moment...

These people were once their relatives, friends, and companions...

However, now...

Hinata had always been strong, until one day during a chase, she saw the leader and broke down.

The girl in the lead...

It's called Whirlpool Sunflower...

……

At the boundary between life and death, everyone fell silent.

Youya shook his head, already...

It's completely hopeless.

At least he couldn't think of any other way to solve the problem.

Everyone looked utterly hopeless.

Just then, Tsunade suddenly spoke up: "Look! What's that?!"

Everyone quickly adjusted the screen, zooming in to the maximum view of what Tsunade was looking at...

In the scene, an old man tremblingly holds his son's hand and instructs him, "You must... bury me at the Third Hokage's grave. After I die... you must continue to protect the Third Hokage..."

The old man's son looked at his father with some confusion: "The Third Hokage... the Third Hokage..."

who is it?

Who was it again?

Father, why must you be buried next to him?

On his deathbed, the old man flew into a rage. He raised his hand to strike his son, but he froze as soon as he raised his hand...

"The Third Hokage..."

Who was it again...?

Hmm... whatever, anyway, this is me, an old man...

My only wish...

The old man's son was a filial son. After placing his father in the coffin, he began to inquire throughout Konoha Village...

And soon...

Everyone in Konoha Village had the same question:
