Chapter 600: Hinata Keeps Fainting
What an incredibly satisfying flood of yellow. (In the literal, physical sense.)
The sky above the Hyuga Clan compound had been dyed yellow by the setting sun...
...or perhaps by something else.
Naruto's shadow clone returned to his original body carrying the Flying Thunder God mark, allowing Namikaze Minato on the other side to complete the transfer successfully.
This was precisely what made Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder even more terrifying than Kamui.
Kamui had an upper limit to how much it could absorb at once. If the volume was too great, it had to absorb and release it gradually.
But Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder was different.
It could casually transfer an entire Tailed Beast Bomb in one go.
Transferring an entire sewage pit was effortless.
The Hyuga Clan members had just been preparing to bully the fox-demon femboy Naruto when they suddenly saw an enormous amount of sludge gushing out of his body.
They were instantly horrified.
None of them even had time to pick up the belts they had thrown aside before turning around and fleeing for their lives.
Seeing that he had successfully stopped the bullying, Naruto stood atop the waves by walking on water and smiled with satisfaction.
"Hinata, stop! Take a good sniff! You've caused so much killing that even the corpses have started to stink!"
High in the sky, Kushina shouted toward Hinata.
"...Hokage-sama, why don't you look down first?"
Hinata's Tenseigan Mode looked as though it were about to collapse at any moment. Looking weak, she pointed below, as if something she had just witnessed had shaken her heart and drained away her strength.
"Hm?"
Kushina lowered her head.
Her fully transformed golden Nine-Tails body had its lower half standing in the sludge.
The smell she had noticed earlier wasn't from corpses at all.
It was coming from the sludge beneath her feet.
Kushina froze.
"Your Hyuga Clan's sewers got clogged?"
That still didn't make sense.
The amount was simply too enormous.
Even if every Hyuga Clan member suddenly ate as much as an Akimichi, it shouldn't be this terrifying.
Faced with Kushina's question, Hinata completely fainted.
Her Tenseigan Mode dispersed as she fell straight toward the ground...
Well...
...it wasn't exactly the ground anymore.
At least there was no need to worry about her dying from the fall.
After all, the massive "body of water" below would provide plenty of cushioning.
"Oh no! Nee-sama is a clean freak! If she falls into that, she'll definitely slit her own throat the moment she wakes up!"
Seeing this, Hanabi immediately sprinted forward before making a huge leap into the air.
She caught the falling Hinata in her arms, then barely managed to land on the rooftop across the way, almost slipping off the edge.
"Hanabi..."
Saved by Hanabi, Hinata slowly opened her eyes, looking extremely weak.
"Nee-sama, what's wrong? Are you injured? But I didn't see Hokage-sama hit you!"
Hanabi anxiously examined Hinata's body, searching for any wounds.
"Hanabi... stop looking. I'm not injured. It's because of the Tenseigan..."
"The Tenseigan?"
"That's right. The Tenseigan is the eye that reflects the heart of the Hyuga Clan. The stronger one's heart is, the greater the power it can unleash."
"As for me now..."
Lying quietly in Hanabi's lap, Hinata stared silently at the sky without continuing.
Don't ask why she was staring at the sky.
It wasn't because she felt melancholic.
It was because only by looking upward could she avoid seeing what the Hyuga Clan had become—a city where everyone was dressed in golden armor.
Inside the engraved Tsukuyomi world, the Tenseigan had even inherited the setting of the Sword of Nunoboko from the real ninja world.
Sword of Nunoboko, the Sword of the Heart.
The firmer the user's will, the more indestructible Sword of Nunoboko became.
In the original story, Obito's Sword of Nunoboko shattered precisely because his resolve wavered.
That was why people later joked about "T0 Willpower Obito."
Hinata's current state was exactly like Obito's back then.
Her mentality had completely collapsed.
Originally, when she saw the Hyuga Clan below preparing to hold a "fan meet-and-greet" with Naruto, she had wanted to stop them.
Instead, Kushina misunderstood the situation and kept stopping her.
Then, out of nowhere, Naruto somehow summoned an enormous amount of sludge.
Had Naruto signed a summoning contract with a public toilet?
Just as Hanabi had said, the Hinata of this world suffered from severe mysophobia.
The moment she witnessed that scene...
...she completely lost hope.
Her shattered mentality caused her Tenseigan Mode to collapse.
"Hinata, are you okay?"
Naruto jumped over from the distance and asked with concern.
"..."
The moment Hinata saw Naruto...her eyes turned white—Well, they were already white eyes. (White Eye= Byakugan)
Then she fainted again.
"Uh... why does Hinata still faint so easily?"
Naruto scratched his head in confusion.
Aside from being unbelievably stronger, the Hinata inside the engraved Tsukuyomi seemed no different from the real one.
"She fainted because you stank! Naruto, go wash yourself, then we'll slowly settle the score."
Kushina walked over expressionlessly.
"As for the Hyuga Clan's current situation, I already know who caused it. That person will definitely come and clean it up himself if he wants to stay alive."
"Hanabi, bring your sister with me."
Half an hour later.
Everyone directly involved in the incident was standing inside the Hokage's office.
Well...
The weakened Hinata and Hanabi had been arranged to sit on the sofa.
"I'm all clean! I'm here!"
Fresh from his bath, Naruto walked in while waving his arm.
Thud.
Hearing the sound, Hinata subconsciously looked over.
The instant she saw him...
...she fainted again.
"Huh? But I already washed! Why did she faint again? Mom, see? I told you it wasn't because I smelled earlier!"
Naruto sniffed himself.
He clearly didn't smell anymore.
Then why had Hinata fainted?
"When we're working, address me by my title!"
Kushina glared at Naruto.
"Plant."
"..."
"Naruto, maybe you should just use a Transformation Jutsu.
"Whenever Nee-sama sees your yellow hair now, she immediately associates it with yellow poop... and then faints."
Hanabi shot him a resentful look.
"Huh? Is that really it?"
Having no other choice, Naruto used the Transformation Jutsu and turned into Sasuke before quietly standing to one side.
Hm?
Kushina immediately became alert.
Naruto had already cleared himself of being a Bond-Type Ninja because of the puppy.
But now...
Without the slightest hesitation, he had transformed into Sasuke.
That immediately made Kushina suspicious again.
Still, that matter could wait.
There were already several confirmed Bond-Type Ninjas present that needed to be dealt with first.
Kushina turned her gaze toward Guy, Kakashi, Lee, and Neji.
"All of you claimed you were falsely accused."
"And you also said you had evidence?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama. We're actually all furry enthusiasts. Being Bond-Type Ninjas was merely a disguise."
"That's right, Hokage-sama. We also need to report something important. Orochimaru appeared in Konoha, and we even fought him!"
"I already knew Orochimaru was in Konoha."
"And didn't you notice that the Third Hokage had already sealed away both of his arms at the cost of his own life?"
Kushina tapped the desk with her finger as she scrutinized the four of them.
"Of course we noticed, Hokage-sama."
"We even recorded the whole thing."
"This is the footage of our battle."
Kakashi pulled a video camera out of his pocket and placed it on the desk.
It was obvious that this had originally been intended to record the chaotic battle.
So...
What exactly had happened over there afterward?
