Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Gagamaru and Hyuga Mansion
"..."
"..."
As soon as this question was asked, the three of them fell into silence for a moment.
They haven't even graduated from the ninja academy yet, what good ninjutsu could they possibly know?
"Fireball Jutsu," After a long while, Sasuke finally said his ninjutsu with a bit of embarrassment.
"Transformation Jutsu," Although Naruto really wanted to laugh at Sasuke, thinking that he himself didn't know much, he also felt a bit embarrassed.
"Then it's settled, Sasuke and I will use fire-style jutsu as a feint to attract the enemy's attention, Naruto, you use the transformation jutsu to turn into that woman's appearance, and then take the opportunity to replace her."
Uchiha Kage actually knows some stronger offensive ninjutsu.
He knows all the basic fire-style ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, but the high-level ninjutsu he can use now is probably only the Rasengan that he figured out very early on.
Of course, even so, it's impossible to compare with those monsters outside.
So, it's better to honestly pretend that he doesn't know anything.
"But if that's the case, won't we all still die?", Sasuke has no objection to this tactic, but he is somewhat doubtful about the outcome.
"It's okay, we can't die here anyway, if it doesn't work once, we'll try a few more times, maybe one day we'll succeed?"
Uchiha Kage knows that the success rate of this tactic is probably as absurd as an ant stepping on an elephant, but if he doesn't arrange it this way, where would he get the ninja fragments to absorb?
Besides, as long as the probability is not zero, maybe one day it will really succeed?
"Kage is right, let's do it!"
'Yes, we can't die anyway!', Thinking of this, Naruto also gained a bit more courage.
"Alright," Sasuke could only nod helplessly in the end.
He really couldn't think of a better solution.
However, just as Uchiha Kage and the other two reached an agreement and were about to leave the mountain to deal with the Sage of Six Paths, a strange toad suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
"Huh?"
'The Great Toad Sage?'
Naruto and Sasuke were just curious about this toad, but Uchiha Kage recognized the other's identity at a glance.
"Hello, three young boys, it's too dangerous here, why don't you come with me to a safe place to take refuge," The Great Toad Sage at that time was just a young toad named Toad Maru.
"TOAD, the toad is TALKING!!!"
Naruto couldn't help but shout.
"Shut up, Naruto!", Faced with this talking toad, Sasuke was much calmer.
"Are you a summoned beast?"
"No, no one has been able to sign a contract with me yet."
Toad Maru took a deep look at the three boys in front of him, then turned his head to look at the battle in the distance.
Although he didn't know why there were three boys here, in order to avoid affecting Hagoromo and Hamura's fight against Kaguya, he decided to take these three boys away first.
"Where are you taking us?"
It's really surprising that there is a Great Toad Sage in this dungeon.
Uchiha Kage was a bit curious about what would happen next.
"A place where you can learn sage techniques, are you willing to go?"
Toad Maru said temptingly.
"Sage techniques?"
"Are they as powerful as their ninjutsu?"
Naruto and Sasuke almost asked at the same time.
"More or less."
Toad Maru's face was slightly sweating.
It's impossible to be like the Sage of Six Paths, that kind of prodigy.
But it's better to bluff for now.
"Then what are we waiting for, take us there quickly!"
Sasuke eagerly grabbed the little toad in front of him.

[Task Failed]
[Dungeon Settlement: None]
[Do you want to re-enter the dungeon]
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this..," Uchiha Kage sighed helplessly.
After the Great Toad Sage tricked them into going to Mount Myōboku, he didn't teach them sage techniques at all, or even if he wanted to, it was too late, because after Kaguya outside was defeated and sealed by the Sage of Six Paths, the three of them were forced to exit the dungeon due to task failure.
"Really, all that effort for nothing."
Not even a single fragment was obtained.
Uchiha Kage really wanted to curse.
It seems that before entering the dungeon next time, he still needs to think about how to deal with this troublesome toad.
"Huh? Why is there another building here?"
Back on the streets of this Konoha-like village, Uchiha Kage originally wanted to go to the Hokage building to reminisce, but found himself unknowingly walking to another place——
A large mansion with the Hyuga clan's nameplate.
[Current action points 1/3, do you want to enter the scene]
Pushing the door, Uchiha Kage found that there was indeed a prompt to enter here.
———
'Is this... a dream?'
Hinata stared blankly at her slender arms, her round and straight legs, and couldn't help but touch her cheeks.
Her face... and body, how did they become so mature?
Not only did she grow taller, but she also had beautiful waist-length hair.
Originally, she could still see her toes if she tried hard, but now she couldn't see them at all.
Her chest felt heavy, her shoulders sore.
'What a strange dream.'
'And, isn't this the training ground at home?'
Looking at the nearby practice dummies and the training ground, Hinata instinctively threw herself into the hard training of the Gentle Fist.
Until she was awakened by the sound of a door opening and a pleasant male voice—
"It's really Hinata baby."
Pushing open the door of the mansion, Uchiha Kage saw Hinata punching the wooden dummy at a glance.
But unlike the young Hinata at the ninja school, this Hinata was much older.
Well, literally much bigger.
Moreover, cuteness, youthfulness, and maturity, three different kinds of beauty, were surprisingly blended so perfectly on the same person.
Compared to the overly beautiful Tsunade, the mature girl in front of him could actually make Uchiha Kage feel more affection.
'She really gets more beautiful as she grows up...'
"Especially these crystal-clear eyes, so beautiful."
Because of Tsunade's "pearl" in front, Uchiha Kage was now just looking at Hinata in front of him, feeling a bit restless.
'But, why is there suddenly a Hyuga mansion here today?'
'Could it be that in the future, there will be more Konoha buildings and more... NPCs here?'
'It feels like if this continues, the revival of the Uchiha clan will really fall on me...'
Of course, the premise is that these NPCs can become real people.
Uchiha Kage shook his head, shaking off the overly colorful thoughts in his mind, and then walked straight towards Hinata in front of him.
'Just to be safe, let's first observe what kind of path this Hinata is on.'
'What if she's not an NPC...'
———
'K-Kage-kun?'
'How, how could he be in my dream...'
'And he even called me... baby?'
Hinata's face turned red in an instant.
'And...'
'How could Kage-kun possibly praise my eyes?'
'Even if it's a dream, this dream is too shameless, isn't it?'
'But, um... so in my heart, I've always been expecting Kage-kun like this?'
'Hoping he would call me baby, hoping he would praise my eyes that are disliked by others...'
'Waah! I-I's too shameful!'
If one could faint in a dream, Hinata at that moment would definitely faint from the shame of her messy thoughts.
'I...'
Hinata looked at Uchiha Kage who was approaching, just about to say something, but at this moment, she seemed to not be able to fully control the actions of this body, even speaking she—
"This is the Hyuga clan's ninja training ground, do you want to practice with me?"
It was supposed to be a greeting, but when it came out, how did it become an invitation to practice?
Hinata wanted to cover her mouth, but only heard the boy in front of her say "okay", and her body involuntarily walked to the center of the training ground and assumed the Gentle Fist stance.
Even the Byakugan was activated.
