Lin Mo unhesitatingly activated his Sharingan, while tightly gripping a flying thunder god kunai in his hand.
If he confirmed that the Hyuga Hanabi in front of him was a genjutsu or someone else transformed, he would immediately make his move.
"Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"
Seeing Lin Mo's eyes, Hyuga Hanabi was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Brother-in-law, how do you have a Sharingan? Shouldn't it be a Tenseigan?"
Lin Mo was bewildered: What? I'll be that powerful in the future, even having a Tenseigan?
No, according to the plot's development, it would be strange if he didn't get a Tenseigan.
Moreover, he still had the diary, so he might even get the chakra fruit of the god tree tomorrow.
"Oh, I'm confused," Hyuga Hanabi patted her head and stuck out her tongue. "I forgot we're in the past right now. Brother-in-law, you haven't obtained the Tenseigan yet."
"847," Lin Mo mumbled the number, then asked, "Hyuga Hanabi, how did you come back from the future?"
After activating his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he could confirm that the Hyuga Hanabi in front of him was neither a genjutsu nor someone else transformed.
Speaking of which, this pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan was the version obtained along with "Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique," only possessing the ability of genjutsu, unable to copy or enhance perception.
But he didn't care; it was a free gain anyway.
"Brother-in-law, how do you know I'm Hyuga Hanabi?" Hyuga Hanabi looked surprised, but a hint of joy was hidden in her Byakugan.
She hadn't expected Lin Mo to recognize her future self; she was much prettier now than when she was a child, and her figure was even better.
Suddenly, a bold thought popped into her mind: why not just get together with Lin Mo now?
That way, she wouldn't have to worry about Hyuga Hinata's feelings later.
But if that happened, wouldn't her sister become her older sister-in-law?
And if she so rashly changed the past, would the future fall into chaos?
Hyuga Hanabi was in a dilemma, unable to make up her mind.
"I guessed," Lin Mo said with a serious expression. "You just said you traveled back from the future, and you appeared in front of me out of nowhere, with no temporal fluctuations that I could detect."
"You also called me 'brother-in-law' and have a pair of Byakugan. I know that Hyuga Hinata has a good impression of me, so it's only natural that we'd end up together in the future."
"Therefore, I guess you are Hyuga Hinata's younger sister, Hyuga Hanabi."
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!" Hyuga Hanabi immediately had stars in her eyes, propping her hands on her knees and fidgeting as she said, "Brother-in-law, I am Hyuga Hanabi, who traveled back from Konoha ten years in the future."
"As for how I got here, it's because..."
Slap!
Just as Hyuga Hanabi was about to get to the crucial part, a colorful bubble suddenly appeared beside her, cutting off her words.
At the same time, a dark crack appeared, and a slender, fair hand reached out from within, resting on Hyuga Hanabi's ear.
Hyuga Hanabi turned her head to look, her face a mix of frustration and fear, then she quickly turned back and shouted at Lin Mo.
But her voice couldn't get out, and the colorful bubble kept shrinking.
Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately threw a flying thunder god kunai.
"Whoosh!"
The kunai disappeared as soon as it entered the bubble, then reappeared and fell onto the floor at Lin Mo's feet.
Lin Mo did not make another move, only watching helplessly as the colorful bubble vanished.
"Sister, sister, let go of me quickly."
"Sister, you're not the gentle you used to be anymore."
Inside a colorful tunnel, Hyuga Hanabi's eyes were full of pleading.
Beside her stood a woman half a head taller than her; if she were to lie down, she would be a full head taller. The woman said impatiently, "Twisting your ear is still light. Tell me, what were you trying to do just now?"
The woman was wearing a black, tight-fitting long dress, with her neck and ankles exposed, and her light purple long hair draped over her shoulders.
She was exceptionally beautiful, but what was most captivating were her pair of purple eyes, glowing with a halo, exuding an oppressive feeling that made one's heart pound.
If Lin Mo were here, he would definitely recognize her as the grown-up Hyuga Hinata.
However, even he might not recognize her.
Because the temperament of this Hyuga Hinata had surpassed all the times he had seen her before by a long shot.
"I just wanted to warn brother-in-law to be careful of those bad guys from the Ōtsutsuki Clan," Hyuga Hanabi whispered in defense.
Hyuga Hinata stared at her silently, and said softly, "Your brother-in-law, for Sister Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, even destroyed their ancestral star and the Ōtsutsuki God. What kind of trouble can those desperate guys stir up?"
"Didn't that Urashiki still manage to find the Ōtsutsuki Clan's treasure that allows time travel this time?" Hyuga Hanabi felt that Hyuga Hinata was too careless.
"Do you think your brother-in-law wouldn't know about such things?" Hyuga Hinata's lips curved upward, and she gently shook her head, "Do I still need to teach you the principle of 'waiting for the rabbit'?"
"Or do you think your brother-in-law might have overlooked something?"
"Nonsense, brother-in-law has never been wrong," Hyuga Hanabi pouted and snorted, "Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. I'm going back to find brother-in-law and have him cook noodles for me personally."
With that, Hyuga Hanabi touched a turtle beside her and made a face at Hyuga Hinata.
Hyuga Hinata smiled and gently waved her hand.
In a flash, a dazzling light passed, and Hyuga Hanabi was taken away.
After Hyuga Hanabi left, Hyuga Hinata shook her head slightly: "Although your brother-in-law dotes on you, wanting him to personally cook noodles for you is harder than getting me to agree to you two being together."
"I'd like to see how long you two can hold out before you do something naughty behind my back."
A hint of darkness flashed in Hyuga Hinata's purple eyes.
If Lin Mo were here to see this scene, he would definitely be greatly surprised, realizing that this was a person with a gentle exterior and a ruthless interior.
As for why Hyuga Hinata had changed in this way, Lin Mo himself would have to ponder it.
"Time for serious business."
Recalling her thoughts, Hyuga Hinata turned her head to look aside, as if she could pierce through time and space.
Suddenly, her body was surrounded by purple Chakra, seemingly undergoing some kind of transformation.
Immediately after, a powerful suction force emanated from her palm.
Whoosh~
A colorful passage ripped open.
Then, a strange bird appeared before her, with golden eyes, a golden Rinnegan on its forehead, black markings covering its face, horn-like bird wings on its head, missing feet, and injured hands transformed into wings.
Seeing him, Hyuga Hinata roared, "You truly are a persistent ghost!"
"Can't you just let us live?"
"You are the persistent ones."
A sacred light emanated from Hyuga Hinata's body, and she said coldly, "Time cannot be violated, and the past cannot be changed."
"Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, die."
Powerful forces erupted, and a world-shaking battle thus began.
And Lin Mo knew nothing of these events.
He was a professional actor and also knew a bit of lip reading.
At this moment, he was staring at Hyuga Hanabi's mouth shape, trying to figure out what she had said.
"I came here for the Ōtsutsuki Clan's treasure—the Plough."
Lin Mo silently translated this sentence in his mind.
This did not surprise him.
According to the information he possessed, there had been two instances of time travel in the Ninja World.
The first was when Uzumaki Naruto pursued the rogue ninja Mukade and arrived at the ruins of the "Ancient City of Rouran" in the desert. Mukade broke the seal that Minato Namikaze had set on the underground Dragon Veins of Rouran, and traveled back to the past with Naruto.
Naruto thus met Minato Namikaze before he became the Fourth Hokage.
The second time was when three members of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's clan came to Earth to find her. Among them, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, after learning of the existence of Jinchuriki, planned to reclaim the Chakra within the Jinchuriki, re-grow the God Tree, and harvest the chakra fruit of the god tree.
For this purpose, he even used the Ōtsutsuki Clan's treasure "Plough," which had been lost in the Earth's oceans at some unknown time, to travel to the past, intending to steal the Nine-Tails Chakra from young Naruto's body.
Speaking of methods of time travel, the first was to return to the past through the Dragon Veins, but the location was limited to the ancient city of Rouran, so Hyuga Hanabi should not have returned this way.
As for the second method, the positioning was more flexible, and the time was uncertain. Judging by Hyuga Hanabi's appearance, it was indeed possible that this was how she came back.
"Beware of the Ōtsutsuki, they will return to the past to kill you!"
"Also, you need to be nicer to Hyuga Hanabi, and it's best to get the marriage settled early."
Lin Mo translated two more sentences, his expression becoming a bit strange.
The first sentence was nothing major.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could think of using the "Plough" to go back twenty years to steal Naruto's Chakra, so it was quite normal for things to change a bit in this world where he existed.
Judging by the fact that someone from the Ōtsutsuki Clan was traveling through time to kill him, what he did in the future must have been significant.
"Why does it feel a bit like Desolate Heaven Emperor?"
"This is practically a deliberate provocation."
Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
But what he found funniest was Hyuga Hanabi's last instruction.
She actually told him to settle the marriage early.
It seemed Hyuga Hanabi would have feelings for him in the future.
"It seems that the hand reaching out from the crack should be the future Hyuga Hinata."
Lin Mo found this experience quite amusing.
After thinking for a moment, he wrote a sentence in his diary.
[The Ōtsutsuki Clan is actually going to travel through time to kill me. What should I do? It's quite urgent!]
Boom!
In the Shikyū Space (Chamber of the Beginning), Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who was secretly destroying the moon's seal, showed a look of horror.
"The Ōtsutsuki Clan, traveling through time?!"
Boom!
"Group?" A bunch of garbled characters popped out.
The power of Yomotsu Hirasaka (Underworld Entrance) flickered in and out, and the surrounding void kept tearing open and closing.
Through these cracks, various worlds could be seen: some full of volcanoes and lava, some entirely of glaciers, some with churning sulfuric seas, some with endless deserts scorched by the scorching sun, and one world that felt incredibly oppressive just by looking at it.
These small worlds were all created by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya using Amenominaka: Lava Hell, Ice-covered Mountains, Sea of Sulfuric Acid, Endless Desert, and Supergravity Space. They could connect to the main Shikyū Space (Chamber of the Beginning).
Originally, these five spaces were all sealed, and even if Ōtsutsuki Kaguya used Yomotsu Hirasaka (Underworld Entrance), she couldn't open a true entrance, only vaguely sensing their existence.
But now, she was too emotional, and light seemed to flash in the crack on her brow. The power of Yomotsu Hirasaka (Underworld Entrance) suddenly increased, opening the spatial cracks again.
"In our clan, only the progenitor, Ōtsutsuki God, can travel through time."
"Or, was the lost Plough used?"
After an unknown amount of time, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's mood finally calmed down. She closed her eyes slightly and fell into contemplation.
She could confirm that everything Lin Mo said was true.
Because just now, she sensed a high-level energy of the same origin flowing into her body.
If she wasn't mistaken, this should be someone among Hamura's descendants who had reached a level above Six Paths. Due to the Byakugan's special ability to devour and fuse bloodlines, she gained a little benefit.
It was also because of this that she was able to use Yomotsu Hirasaka (Underworld Entrance) when she lost control of her emotions, revealing the five spaces.
It was a pity that the descendant's appearance was too brief, otherwise she could have gained more benefits, and perhaps soon completely break through the moon's restraints and return to Earth.
And the reason why that descendant suddenly appeared and disappeared was because he was within the power of time.
"No matter who it is, this Lin Mo guy will definitely be extraordinary in the future." A ripple flashed across Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's pure white eyes.
In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, her status was low; she was merely a guardian of sacrifices.
Many in the clan looked down on her, such as Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki.
But these people were not considered masters within the Ōtsutsuki Clan either.
And now, Lin Mo could actually make the Ōtsutsuki Clan interfere with him across time lines, which showed that his future achievements would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
"Perhaps he can become my ally."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya began to ponder.
[Traveling through time and influencing the future by changing the past, this is truly a clever method.]
[I hope this Ōtsutsuki Clan isn't too weak, otherwise it would be too boring.]
[But I need to cultivate properly and gain some more combat experience.]
Lin Mo vowed not to live aimlessly anymore. He stretched his limbs and walked towards the bathroom.
He had played chess with Kushina for too long last night and was a bit mentally exhausted, so... he drew another map.
He needed to find a real person to spar with.
At the same time, in various corners of the Ninja World, the girls holding the diary looked calm on the surface... but that was a lie!
The Ōtsutsuki Clan, a group of people Lin Mo called aliens, they already knew quite a bit about them, especially about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Regarding time travel, they also knew from the diary that someone in the Ninja World possessed this ability.
Theoretically, putting these two things together wasn't a big deal.
But when it actually happened, they were still shocked.
"The Ōtsutsuki Clan..."
"The future of the Ninja World absolutely cannot fall into chaos on its own."
In a small town on the border of the Land of Lightning, Samui lowered her head and pondered for a long time, then took out paper and pen to write a secret letter, which was then quickly sent to the Hidden Cloud Village through intelligence channels.
She wanted to change the minds of Fourth Raikage A and others in her own way.
At the same time, in the Hidden Rain Village of the Land of Rain.
Konan found Nagato and said, "This is the information I recently found about resurrection."
"I think after we deal with those two guys, we can take the opportunity to hold a meeting and collect all the methods of resurrection."
"Alright!" Uzumaki Nagato agreed without hesitation, nodding and saying, "Especially that sage talisman. Yahiko's body is still intact, and with it, resurrecting him will be easy. This must become our priority to find next."
