After returning, Naruto made sure to escort Hinata to her doorstep first.
As for why he didn't send Hinata inside...
Naruto really doesn't dare now. Given how bold Hinata had become, Naruto estimates that when they meet Hiashi, Hinata would suddenly kiss him.
In the past, he always jumped back and forth on the Hyuga Clan's red line, and holding hands was the most he'd ever pushed it, so even if the Hyuga Clan were angry, they did not take action.
But it would be different if he took Hinata in with him. Once Hinata kissed him in front of everyone, Naruto was certain today would end with either his death or the annihilation of the entire Hyuga Clan.
"Naruto-kun..."
"You're really not coming in with me?"
Hinata clasped her hands together, looking a little aggrieved, but Naruto noticed the eagerness in the girl's eyes.
"N-No!"
"I've got… stuff to do!"
"Next time, next time!"
Naruto was so scared that he ran away like a scared rabbit, which made Hinata giggle.
"Naruto-kun is so cute~"
…
After leaving the Hyuga Clan's compound, Naruto immediately went to find Uzumaki Stark. Some time ago, his clone said that the new weapon had been prepared.
"Take your weapon and get the hell out of here!"
When Uzumaki Stark saw the main body, he was immediately furious.
While they were technically the same person, exploiting one's own shadow clone like this was just inhumane.
Naruto ran to the black coffin next to him with a smile. He looked at it carefully, and even took out a measuring tape.
The new weapon is full two meters long. And once the coffin lid is opened, two people can lie down easily.
The main idea was that during battles, Naruto could place Totems of Undying inside it. And there is a hollow on the outside of the weapon, which just happens to let him touch the inside of the coffin.
As for the appearance, it is different from the standard rectangular coffins used in the Shinobi World, as this one was modeled after ancient Chinese caskets from his previous life.
Picking up the black coffin, Naruto excitedly swung it around excitedly, then gave it a few firm pats.
The black coffin immediately let out a long-lost sound.
"You mad Bro?"
Unlike the door panel, this black coffin did not have the words 'That's it?' engraved on it.
Mainly because he planned to install the beauty contact lenses later, and if there are words on them, it might affect the installation later.
"Oh, by the way, where is that Rinnegan?"
Uzumaki Stark put down the Impure World Reincarnation scroll in his hand and pointed at the top of the coffin impatiently.
"Channel Chakra into it."
"Then you can tap into the Golden Rinnegan's power."
"But I have to warn you that this thing consumes a lot of Chakra. Don't let anyone else use it, or they'll get sucked dry on the spot."
Naruto didn't take it seriously at first, until he grabbed the black coffin and started inputting Chakra, he realized the Chakra needed to drive the Golden Rinnegan.
The moment Naruto grabbed the black coffin, the Chakra in his body continued to flow into the black coffin, and the surrounding environment was blown by a strong wind under the influence of a large amount of Chakra.
At the same time, two new Dojutsu imprinted themselves into his mind.
One is the essential ability of the Rinnegan, Chibaku Tensei.
The other is the Dojutsu Urashiki has, Time Rewind.
But perhaps because it was only a single eye, the Time Rewind was limited to 3 seconds, with a 7-minute cooldown, and it also consumes a large amount of Chakra.
But Naruto was already very satisfied with this.
This Dojutsu allows him to speed up his own perception of time by three seconds in battle, allowing him to analyze the opponent's moves.
But this is also the disadvantage of this Dojutsu, because this ability cannot be used to predict time other than around oneself.
"Nice."
"I'm taking this with me."
"Remember to quickly research a method for resurrection through the Impure World Reincarnation."
Uzumaki Stark: "..."
'Maybe I should just dispel myself and escape this hell.'
Uzumaki Stark complained in his mind, but still picked up the scroll and began to study.
Naruto nodded in satisfaction, then opened the portal to find Sasuke.
When he arrived at Orochimaru's hideout, he saw Sasuke was wearing a white shirt and tight pants, with his chest exposed.
'Huh?!'
'Sasuke in white returns for a limited time?!'
'Or is it that this kid has finally outgrown his Chunnibyou phase and no longer wears black cloak?'
But when he saw the high ponytail on Sasuke's head and then at the Heavy Xuan Ruler behind him, Naruto realized that this boy was still in the previous state.
Sasuke seemed to notice Naruto's confusion and opened his mouth to explain.
"The black cloak got too small."
"Remember to make me a new one."
In fact, their heights have increased from more than 160cm before to more than 170cm now, so naturally, their original clothes can no longer fit them.
"Sure."
"I'll just consider it your birthday present."
Naruto teased, but found that the boy had already put his hand on the Heavy Xuan Ruler behind him.
"Sasuke, calm down!"
"I'll pick something else for you."
"No need. Just upgrade the Heavy Xuan Ruler for me."
Sasuke grabbed the Heavy Xuan Ruler and planted it into the ground, signaling Naruto to take it back and upgrade it.
Over the past two years, as his strength has grown, the Heavy Xuan Ruler that he used to use perfectly can no longer keep up with his pace of growth.
It also felt light and fluttery to use.
"Okay."
"Let's go back to the village."
After Naruto stored the sword, Sasuke called for Karin, and the three of them passed through the portal and returned to Konoha.
Sasuke, who had not returned for a long time, looked at the familiar buildings around him with nostalgia in his eyes.
"You two head to my place first."
"I'll go inform the others."
Since it's Sasuke's birthday tomorrow, Naruto plans to greet everyone first and gather the other friends for a small get-together.
Half an hour later, Shikamaru and the others receive the news that Sasuke's birthday is tomorrow. They decide not to invite the girls and just have a guys' hangout first.
They'll call everyone else tomorrow.
After all, there are always some topics among guys that girls shouldn't hear.
But then...
Kakashi and Guy show up to join the fun, and even Asuma tags along.
"Hey, Thin... Sasuke!?"
"Why did you change clothes?"
When everyone arrived at Naruto's villa, they were all surprised to see Sasuke wearing white clothes.
They remembered that this guy wore a hooded black cloak that covers his face all year round.
"I outgrew it."
Sasuke nods at the group and offers a brief explanation.
Naruto looked at the three middle-aged men in the room, and the Konoha 12, except the girls, all sitting on the sofa.
Even his brother-in-law is here.
For some reason, Naruto notices that Neji's attitude is much better than before.
"Come on, come on, let me get you all something to drink first."
Naruto chuckled and signals for everyone to move aside, then waves his hand and fills the floor with beer.
This scared everyone present so much that they almost ran out of the door.
'Damn it!'
'Who are you trying to drink to death?!'
Just as Naruto was about to say that no one was allowed to run away tonight, the communicator on his body made by the Cult Mechanicus rang.
The name displayed is none other than his wife's.
In order to prevent everyone from seeing that he was a man who doted on his wife, Naruto chuckles awkwardly and says he has something to take care of outside, while also telling everyone to enjoy themselves.
"Well..."
"It's Hinata, right?"
Shikamaru said speechlessly.
Just by looking at the dumb grin on Naruto's face, he could tell it was his girlfriend calling him.
Neji remains expressionless when he heard this, but his fists are clenched tightly.
Kiba scratches his head, glanced at Sasuke, and said in boredom, "Thin Ice Bro, what are we going to do next?"
"I don't want to drink this stuff."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Kiba in shock, fearing that Sasuke will pin him to the ground and beat him up.
Even Kakashi closed his little book and planned to enjoy the show.
But to everyone's surprise...
Sasuke just chuckles in response, and then speaks up to the group, "Let's play a game… Werewolf."
"How about it?"
"And let's add some stakes..."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and already plotting to make these guys experience the shame of wearing women's clothes.
He touched the Polaroid Camera in his arms.
'You're doomed!'
'After today, I will spread the pictures of you wearing women's clothes everywhere!'
