Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

However, she still wanted to see Neji. Hanabi grabbed Hiruko's hand and said, "Then let's go to the hospital to visit Neji together, Toneri-nii."

“This…” Hiruko hesitated, a hint of embarrassment in his expression.

It wasn't that he didn't want to visit Neji; if Neji were at the Hyuga mansion, he might have personally rescued him by now.

His main concern was that he might run into Sakura Haruno at the hospital, and Sakura might accidentally reveal his identity if she let her guard down.

After all, the Naruto world isn't a Conan movie where people shrink so much they can't recognize or remember anything. If Sakura sees a familiar face, she'll definitely become suspicious and investigate.

In his memory, Sakura was still that careless, silly girl who couldn't even control her superhuman strength when she got excited. Sakura's investigation was tantamount to openly suspecting someone, and basically no one could be kept in the dark. Then most people in Konoha would probably notice him.

Hiruko wasn't afraid of being exposed and targeted by Konoha, since the entire village combined couldn't defeat him alone.

Even if you add Might Guy, who can open the Eight Gates Formation, it's the same. This ultimate creature has no other abilities, but his vitality is strong enough. He just doesn't resist at all and lets Might Guy kick him. Even if Guy is exhausted and stops firing the Eight Gates, he still can't kill him.

The main thing is right now. He's still building up his relationship with Hanabi. Even if his identity is exposed in the future, it has to be because his feelings for Hanabi are so deep that she can ignore his identity and deceive him, and because Hanabi is mature enough and has the emotional control of an adult.

Otherwise, this would have revealed in advance how deep their feelings were before, and how much Hanabi would hate him afterward. Children are quite vengeful to some extent, and they can even hold grudges for a lifetime.

"What's wrong, Brother Sheren?" Hanabi asked, her eyes full of confusion.

Subconsciously, she already regarded Sheren as her closest family member, so wasn't it only natural for Sheren to go to the hospital with her to visit relatives?

"No, it's nothing. Hanabi, you can turn around first. Let me change my clothes before we go to the hospital."

As Hiruko spoke, under Hanabi's feigned back-turned spying, he quickly changed into a white trench coat and wrapped a white mask around his face with bandages, shrinking the special markings on his forehead to almost a dot, and then switched his dark eyes to white eyes.

In a ward at Konoha Hospital, a large group of people had gathered, and Hyuga Neji lay quietly there, his body wrapped in gauze.

Surrounding the bed were Xiao Li, Kai, Tenten, Hiashi, Hinata, Hanabi, Hiruko, Sakura, and others.

"Neji!!!" Lee and Kai hugged Neji's arms tightly, their tear ducts instantly overflowing with tears. The scene was so dramatic that anyone who didn't know better would think Neji was already gone.

Holding tightly in the arms of the two strongmen, Neji immediately snapped out of his half-asleep state, his eyes wide with rage and bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Let...let go!"

His whole body was trembling.

"Wait a minute, Kai-sensei, you're hurting Neji by hugging him." Tenten said with great concern, her heart aching at the sight of Neji's pain.

"Ah! Neji, you're awake?"

Upon hearing Neji's voice, Lee and Kai became even more excited, completely ignoring Tenten's words. They hugged Neji so tightly that he trembled and spasmed all over, then his eyes rolled back and he stopped moving.

Sakura Haruno walked over, took the medical record form, and smacked the heads of the unreliable green-skinned, watermelon-headed master and apprentice twice. She said irritably, "Put Neji down right now!"

"Alright, alright, really, don't be so noisy in the hospital. Neji needs to rest. If you guys are so enthusiastic, Neji will just faint from the pain."

Sakura Haruno, wearing distinctive black-rimmed glasses, twitched her eyes twice, wondering to herself, "In the time it takes her to write a medical record, Neji has already been completely bewildered by these two silly master and disciple."

"Dr. Haruno Sakura, may I ask about Neji?" Hiashi Hyuga asked with some concern, his eyes full of worry.

"After the surgery, Neji is out of danger. He will be able to recover in about a month with proper rest."

Chapter 240 Let me see!

Sakura Haruno reassured everyone, saying that as the attending physician, she knew Neji's condition better than anyone else.

"That's good, that's good~" Hiashi Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something.

"Will there be any side effects from the surgery? I mean, will Neji still be able to be a ninja after this?"

Hiashi knew that Neji was a strong-willed child. If he could no longer be a ninja, it would be a devastating blow to Neji, and he might never recover.

"Yes, the surgery won't leave Neji with many aftereffects. As long as he can recover well, Neji can still become an excellent ninja," Sakura Haruno said calmly, her tone full of confidence.

"Really? Thank you so much, Sakura!" Lee's eyes lit up, and then he and Might Guy bowed to Sakura Haruno with tears streaming down their faces.

"Treating and saving lives is a doctor's duty, it's what I should do," Sakura Haruno waved her hand, then said seriously.

"However, I still have to remind you a few things: cultivation must be done in moderation! Neji's injuries this time were caused by improper cultivation. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have died before I came to treat him. You must take this as a warning."

“I understand. It is my dereliction of duty as a teacher not to help my dear disciple grasp the proper measure of cultivation!” Kai replied solemnly, his face full of self-reproach.

"Well, it's good that you listened," Sakura Haruno said with relief, finally her words hadn't been in vain.

Turning my head, I suddenly caught sight of a small figure wrapped up tightly in clothes. My body trembled for no reason, and my heart began to flutter inexplicably.

"By the way, who is this?"

Sakura Haruno tried to act nonchalant and asked casually, but a hint of wariness was revealed in her eyes.

"He is..." Hyuga Hiashi was momentarily at a loss as to how to introduce Toneri. Should he say he was a distant relative staying with him, or his future son-in-law?

If Toneri doesn't agree, it's not a good idea to reveal the moon's affairs to Konoha.

Speaking of Toneri, Hiashi was actually a little worried. Toneri's relatives were far away on the moon, and according to the ancient agreement between the Hyuga and Otsutsuki clans, they were to marry Hiashi's daughter.

Watching how naturally and intimately he interacted with Hanabi, every move he made revealed an unspoken understanding. Hanabi's gaze towards him was full of tenderness and affection, her eyes seemingly holding twinkling stars.

If nothing unexpected happens, given this trend, he will most likely choose Hanabi as his life partner.

However, Hanabi has a special identity. She is the future heir to the main branch of the Hyuga clan and the future clan leader who shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading the Hyuga clan to glory.

If Hanabi goes to the moon with Toneri, what will happen to the Hyuga clan? Who will manage the clan's affairs, big and small? Who will protect the clan's honor and future?

Then look at Hinata. She only has Naruto in her heart, and she has an extremely weak personality. She is shy and blushes when she talks to others.

With her personality, if she were to become the clan leader, it would be difficult for her to protect the clan's interests in the face of various conflicts and challenges both inside and outside the clan.

In Hiashi Hyuga's mind, Hinata was simply incapable of shouldering the future of the Hyuga clan.

But if Hinata is chosen, it would be even worse. Hinata already has someone she loves. If her marriage with Naruto is forcibly broken up, and Hanabi and Toneri are separated, neither of the two daughters will be happy. Hiashi gets a headache just thinking about it.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Toneri, and that his daughter Hanabi had a good impression of him, Hiashi would have wanted to kick this distant relative from the moon out of the Hyuga mansion long ago.

"Hello, doctor. My name is Toneri. My ancestors had a long history with the Hyuga clan. I am currently staying at Lord Hiashi's house."

Hiruko bowed slightly and briefly introduced himself, displaying impeccable manners and appearing very courteous.

Although he vaguely resembled an adult at this moment, he didn't think that Sakura Haruno, a simpleton like Naruto Uzumaki, could see through his disguise at a glance.

"So cute~"

Sakura Haruno put down the medical record in her hand, her eyes sparkling, and walked over step by step, trying to suppress the strange feeling that her heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She bent down in front of Hiruko, reached out and touched Hiruko's head, and said in a gentle, sweet voice, "How come you wear a mask like Kakashi-sensei at such a young age? You're so mysterious. Let me see you, please satisfy my curiosity a little, okay?"

"Oh no! Also, I don't like strange, unfamiliar women touching my head."

Hiruko frowned, roughly slapped Haruno Sakura's hand away, and looked somewhat gloomy.

He felt a vague unease, sensing that Sakura Haruno might have already discovered something.

"A strange woman?!"

Sakura tried her best to keep smiling, but her eyebrows kept twitching and the veins on her forehead bulged. She wished she could punch this brat to death.

But for some reason, she always felt a sense of danger in front of this kid, especially after she touched him. Her body also felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if they had crossed paths a long time ago.

"Be good, listen to me, let me see."

Sakura forced a smile and a kind expression, then reached out again to touch Hiruko's face.

"do not want!"

Hiruko pushed Sakura Haruno's hand away again, then he took two steps back, and Sakura Haruno followed with two steps. They went back and forth like this until Hiruko finally retreated to the corner of the wall.

Let me see!

Sakura Haruno slammed her hand against the corner of the wall, pinning Hiruko against the wall.

At the same time, Sakura Haruno lightly tapped the button next to her glasses with her left hand, recorded the child's approximate physical data, and then took off her glasses.

Hanabi tilted her head and looked at this strange scene, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Since Neji is alright, why don't we head back first, Toneri?"

Hanabi stepped forward, stood in front of Sakura Haruno, grabbed Hiruko's hand, and pulled Hiruko away from Sakura Haruno's chest, separating the two.

"Yes, Lord Hiashi, Hanabi and I will head back to train now." Hiruko breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he hadn't spoiled Hanabi for nothing.

Then, he quickly pulled the little girl away from this place where his identity could be exposed at any moment.

Duang ~

"Huh? Who is this brat acting so recklessly in the hospital?" Tsunade's familiar voice rang out, and Hiruko's lips twitched.

After experiencing the familiar fragrance and the impact of fleshy flesh, Hiruko tucked half of his head into his trench coat.

He knew who it was without even looking up, not to mention that he was very familiar with Tsunade's boisterous voice and rough mannerisms.

"Oh dear, the aroma is indeed somewhat different~" Hiruko took a few steps back, lowered his head, and muttered to himself in a voice that no one could hear.

The scent of Tsunade in this parallel world is somewhat different from the Tsunade he knows, perhaps due to the differences in their constitutions.

After all, his Tsunade possessed Wood Release and Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest, making her fundamental nature vastly different from that of ordinary women.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Tsunade, Toneri didn't mean it." Hanabi pulled Toneri aside and quickly apologized.

"Hmm, kid, remember not to be so reckless and impulsive in the hospital next time." Tsunade was completely unpretentious, with a kind smile on her face. She simply flicked Hiruko's forehead and walked away.

Hiruko didn't dodge. Feeling Tsunade's touch, he was lost in thought. Perhaps he had been out for too long and it was time to go home.

······Moon.

The earth's surface was ravaged, riddled with potholes and filled with dust, as if trampled by a giant monster, and seemingly having just survived a fierce battle.

The smoke and dust that filled the air were also covered with a large number of "living" cellular particles that were difficult to see with the naked eye. They drifted and moved in the air, as if telling the story of the cruelty of this great battle.

Inside the solemn Hamura Shrine, a boy dressed in white, with a magatama pattern around his neck, pale skin, and long blue-white hair, but born without eyes, was cowering at the feet of a white-haired man.

My body trembled slightly, whether from fear or some other reason, I don't know.

"Who exactly are you?" Otsutsuki Toneri roared in a hoarse voice, his voice seemingly trying to shatter the oppressive air of the moon.

He could hardly believe what he was seeing; he had always lived high above in the heavens, yet he was being invaded and attacked by people on the ground.

He tried his best, tried every possible method, and even used the powerful and mysterious power of the Great Reincarnation Eye without hesitation, but he still could not eliminate this enemy who came from the ground like a demon.

Why do you possess the power of the Tenseigan?

That is the supreme power that only those with the Hamura bloodline can unlock!

"You're from the Hyuga clan? Has the Hyuga clan on Earth already broken their ancient vows?"

Otsutsuki Toneri was filled with confusion and pain. What hurt him the most was that not only had his mind forcibly pried open by this demon, but his memories had also been arbitrarily searched, as if the most secret corners of his heart had been completely exposed.
