I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Could it be that they were really wrong, and that the mission left to them by their ancestor Hamura was not to purify the ninja world, which is why they chose Hinata, who had just appeared on the moon?

In this way, their centuries of effort, their mission that they were willing to risk the extinction of their bloodline, would be accomplished.

Wouldn't that make it a complete joke?

Thinking of this, the Otsutsuki members were somewhat confused, but then they looked at Hinata with fervent eyes. Hinata was someone who could communicate with the ancestor Hamura and was the true princess of Hyuga.

At this moment, Hinata walked up to the elder and tapped his forehead with her finger.

The elder was bewildered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Princess Hinata, we sinners were wrong. We are willing to go to the ninja world to atone for our sins!"

Upon hearing this, no one was more skeptical of life than Sheren.

He was originally treated like a prince by the Moon Clan, but now these elders have distanced themselves from him, which he finds hard to accept. However, having been defeated, he no longer has the right to be arrogant.

Hinata did not answer the Otsutsuki members' questions, and turned away, leaving behind a cool and aloof silhouette.

After leaving the main hall, Hinata's face instantly turned crimson, and she awkwardly dug her toes into a three-bedroom, one-living room shape. She had no idea how to respond to the Otsutsuki's titles; "Your Highness" and such were just too embarrassing.

Naruto noticed Hinata, who looked like a steampunk princess, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

Since becoming the successor to the Hyuga clan head, Hinata has only been gentle to herself, and in front of outsiders she has shown a more aloof attitude, like a cold and beautiful flower on a high mountain.

But in reality, Hinata is just socially awkward and doesn't know how to respond to others, so she can only act aloof.

However, the more interesting it is, the more interesting it becomes. That's why Hinata was sent to deal with the Otsutsuki members of the Moon Clan. Apart from Toneri, who has a special constitution, the rest of the Moon Clan members rely on the Great Tenseigan for power. Their true strength is not even as good as that of the Hyuga Ninja, so they can't cause much trouble.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Naruto continued his research on the Great Tenseigan.

Although Hinata held control of the Great Tenseigan, he asked her for full access, hoping to research how the Great Tenseigan could travel far.

After all, putting everything else aside, the Great Tenseigan can traverse the distance between the Earth and the Moon, transmitting chakra across half of the ninja world. This technology is terrifying enough. If it were used to perform genjutsu, it would be almost a weakened version of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After borrowing some chakra from Hinata, Naruto reached out to touch the Great Tenseigan, attempting to split it in two to create two Great Tenseigan, but he failed after losing Hamura's Eye as its core.

The separated part became an ordinary white eye, and even showed signs of decay.

Next, Naruto began testing the abilities of the Great Tenseigan. The Great Tenseigan has three main abilities: first, it can manipulate gravity and repulsion, making it easy to control meteorites several hundred meters in size.

Secondly, it involves manipulating puppets, even remotely controlling puppets from the ninja world from the moon.

Thirdly, it possesses keen insight, enabling it to monitor the ninja world like a satellite, making it a cutting-edge technology of chakra.

After manipulating several meteorites to orbit the moon, Naruto took out the fish basket, released Hamura's soul, and then solemnly asked, "Ancestor Hamura, I have done what I promised you, now you should answer my question."

Hamura looked somewhat embarrassed, but still said, "As for Ashura's reincarnation, go ahead and ask."

Naruto nodded and then said, "First, I want to know what exactly the Pure Land is, and why you've been lingering in the ninja world for so long without going there?"

Upon hearing the term "Pure Land," Hamura's expression turned extremely solemn: "How do you know about Pure Land?"

"The Second Hokage of Konoha invented the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which can summon the spirits of the dead. He retains his memories and some of his strength from his previous life. I'm very curious whether they are alive or dead."

"If I find your DNA, ancestor Hamura, can I resurrect you through Edo Tensei?"

Hamura shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's probably not possible for me to be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. As for the origin of the Pure Land, I can tell you about it, but it's better if you use the Tenseigan to shield yourself from the surroundings. If my brother finds out, he might cause you trouble."

Naruto frowned. Would the Sage of Six Paths cause him trouble?

After a pause, Hamura continued, "Naruto, you should know that there are many secondary dimensions around the ninja world. It is possible to travel between these dimensions using the spacetime abilities of the Rinnegan and other spacetime techniques!"

“I know that. I’ve been to the three holy lands. The holy lands are actually located within these subordinate spaces. Does the ancestor mean that the Pure Land is actually one of these subordinate spaces?”

"So, those who were resurrected through Edo Tensei didn't actually die."

Hamura shook his head again: "The Pure Land is different from these spaces. It is located inside the Divine Tree. When the beings of the Ninja World die, their souls go to the inside of the Divine Tree."

Chapter 296 The Caged Bird is No Longer Shackled

Upon hearing this, Naruto fell into deep thought.

If all beings in the ninja world go to the Pure Land after death, and the Pure Land is located inside the Divine Tree, then the existence of the Pure Land is not fundamentally different from the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The only difference is that one is a one-time harvest, while the other is a sustainable, exploitative approach.

The Sage of Six Paths, residing in the Pure Land, used a gentler method to slowly harvest the chakra of the ninja world without risking exposure.

Thinking about it this way, the Sage of Six Paths is truly brilliant, to have come up with such a method.

However, compared to the other Otsutsuki's one-shot kill methods, the Sage of Six Paths' method is obviously more acceptable, although it would face the threat of the Otsutsuki main family, since the Otsutsuki main family wants the Chakra Fruit.

Seemingly sensing Naruto's thoughts, Hamura sighed softly: "Is it hard to accept knowing the truth about the Pure Land? The Sage of Six Paths who defeated your mother's Ninja Clan is now slowly reaping chakra in the Pure Land."

Upon hearing this, Naruto glanced at Hamura and then asked, "Is it because Hamura's ancestor refused to nourish his soul in this way that his soul became so weak?"

Hamura nodded: "At first, I was indignant and felt that my brother's nature was no different from my mother's. I even had the idea of ​​destroying everything. But after hundreds of years, I gradually came to understand my brother."

“If my brother and I don’t accept the chakra of the dead, and if the Otsutsuki main family comes, we can’t stop those Otsutsuki who are focused on harvesting planets, even if we rely on the ninjas in the ninja world.”

"However, after meeting you, I realized that the ninja world may no longer need the protection of me and my brother."

Hearing Hamura's words, Naruto showed a relieved expression and suddenly realized, "Thank you both for protecting the ninja world. However, the future of the ninja world can be entrusted to Hinata and me. You can rest for a while."

Hamura smiled helplessly: "I am merely clinging to life. However, I have not seen my elder brother for hundreds of years. I wonder how he is doing."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Have Hinata come over later, and I'll tell her how to advance the Byakugan."

Naruto nodded, then had his shadow clone summon Hinata.

In front of Hamura, Hinata instantly transformed into a well-behaved child, looking at Hamura with some trepidation. She reached out her fist and touched Hamura's phantom image, thus gaining Hamura's inherited memories.

After inheriting the memories, Hamura's soul irreversibly collapsed, turning into a wisp of green smoke.

Hinata felt her head was throbbing. After digesting the inherited memories, she said to Naruto, "My ancestor told me how to awaken the Tenseigan. He told me to stay by the Great Tenseigan's side and let the Tenseigan modify my bloodline. In just a few months, I will be able to awaken the Tenseigan."

"A few months?"

"Yeah, it'll be a few months. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Naruto-kun during that time."

Hinata's eyes showed loneliness. Although their relationship hadn't been officially confirmed, she still wanted to stick close to Naruto and had already become dependent on him.

Naruto's focus, however, was not on that, but rather on the fact that Hamura had a way to awaken the Tenseigan in the Hyuga clan.

Why wait until Hinata arrives? Why didn't Hinata acquire this ability in Naruto's world?

Could it be that Hamura is too weak to pass on the legacy?

Thinking about it carefully, Naruto felt that this possibility was not low. Hamura may have really wanted to pass on his legacy at first, but a thousand years had worn away almost all of Hamura's power.

After defeating the main family, the branch family of the Moon lineage settled in the Moon Palace.

He never returned to life on the ground, and Jiraiya no longer tended to the dilapidated Hamura Shrine, nor did he find Hamura, who had almost become a bound spirit.

Another key factor was probably himself. He demonstrated strength at the level of an Otsutsuki and brought news that there were other Otsutsuki lurking in the ninja world, which made Hamura feel a sense of crisis.

However, Hamura's soul has completely dissipated, and no one knows Hamura's true thoughts anymore.

However, the Sage of Six Paths, who resides in the Pure Land, and Isshiki Otsutsuki, whose whereabouts are unknown, are the stronger beings who can threaten him.

For the next few weeks, Hinata stayed near the Great Tenseigan to improve her physical condition.

Naruto sent his shadow clones to travel between the ninja world and the moon several times, bringing back enough supplies. A month later, when Hinata's physical abilities reached a certain level, her eyes gradually showed a hint of blue, transforming into the Tenseigan form.

However, Hinata's Tenseigan is not stable; once she leaves the range of the Great Tenseigan, it will quickly return to its original state.

Hinata, unable to suppress her homesickness, approached Naruto and proposed returning to Konoha together. Naruto did not refuse Hinata, and the two, along with Hanabi and members of the Moon Clan, arrived near the Earth-Moon Passage.

After using the power of the Tenseigan to open a passage, the two and the Moon Clan members arrived in the Ninja World.

After several hours of trekking, they returned to the Hyuga clan's territory.

Concerned for Hinata and Hanabi's safety, Hiashi Hyuga, Neji, and the others arrived at the main family's old residence. Upon seeing Naruto and his group, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so glad you're all alright. Thank you so much, Naruto-sama."

Hinata Hanabi glanced at him and said, "Father, it's time to speak up. I've been so bored on the moon these past few days. Besides fighting with puppets, all I can do is watch my sister and brother-in-law show their affection... You're going to have another son-in-law."

Hiashi Hyuga said with a stern face, "Hanabi, don't be rude in front of Lord Naruto."

Hiashi Hyuga was certainly aware of the ambiguous relationship between his daughter and Naruto. He had known since Hinata was very young that Hinata liked Naruto, and he also knew that Naruto's true identity was the Fourth Hokage's son and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the village.

Therefore, he never prevented his daughter from meeting Naruto and hoped that they could become related by marriage.

However, after Naruto defected from Konoha and demonstrated strength surpassing that of the Five Kage, his attitude inevitably became more reserved. After all, Naruto was no longer just the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but also the leader of Uzushio Village and the uncrowned king of Konoha.

Hanabi stuck out her tongue and ran straight to Hyuga Neji's side, hiding behind his sleeve.

Neji looked at Hinata and Naruto standing side by side, unsure of what to say. Should he offer some words of blessing, or leave sadly? In any case, he was just a member of the branch family.

Just then, Hinata Hyuga walked up to Hiashi Hyuga and said, "Father, I plan to abolish the Caged Bird Clan at the next clan meeting. We Hyuga no longer need the Caged Bird Clan."

Hiashi Hyuga's expression darkened: "Do you know what this means?"

Hinata Hyuga nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know. I also know why the Caged Bird Seal was invented. However, the Moon Clan has already been subdued by my daughter, so no one can threaten the clan anymore!"

Chapter 297 Border Intelligence

A few hours later, under the guidance of Hinata and Hiashi, the Hyuga clan meeting was successfully held.

When Hinata proposed abolishing the Caged Bird system, it immediately caused a huge uproar at the clan meeting. Not only the main family members, but even the representatives of the branch families looked surprised.

As Jonin of the village, they were quite dissatisfied with the Caged Bird system.

However, they also understood that the Caged Bird Seal system protected the lower and middle-class clansmen, especially those who had unexpectedly awakened their Byakugan but were not ninjas. Only the Caged Bird Seal system could save them from the crisis of having their eyes stolen.

However, after joining Konoha, the crisis for the lower and middle-ranking clansmen has been greatly reduced.

The development of chakra technology has also made it extremely easy for blood to leak out. The Hyuga clan has had many discussions about whether the Caged Bird should continue to exist, and even the Fifth Hokage was very concerned.

After all, the Fifth Hokage was different from the Third Hokage; he didn't need the Caged Bird Seal to control the Hyuga clan.

However, traditions are not so easy to challenge, and getting the main family to relinquish their interests is not an easy task.

Thinking of this, the branch family Jonin and the main family members all looked at the main family elder. The main family elder glanced at Hinata and then waved his sleeve, saying, "I am old and do not want to get involved in the affairs of the clan. Let Hiashi and Hinata handle it."

After saying this, the elder of the Zong family took the lead in leaving the old Zong family residence, leaving behind a lonely figure.

When he saw Hinata and Naruto return alive, he realized that he could no longer do what the Hyuga clan had to do. The Caged Bird Seal was originally invented to deal with the Moon Clan.

But now Hinata has already dealt with all the people from the Moon lineage.

Whether from a strength or rational perspective, he cannot stop the trend of abolishing the caged bird.

After losing the banner of the main family elders, the other main family members did not dare to raise any objections. Their status and strength were inferior to Hiashi and Hinata, not to mention that they knew Naruto was staying in the clan.
