Naruto: Check out these scenes #33

As Hinata's fists struck the surface of the Tenseigan, vibrant waves of chakra rippled outward, creating a dazzling spectacle. However, Hinata's full-force attack seemed almost futile; the Tenseigan Eye remained unscathed.

"How is this possible? It can’t be destroyed?" Hinata gasped in disbelief, her heart sinking at the realization that her efforts had barely shaken the Rinnegan's defenses.

Noticing Hinata’s frustration, Naruto paused for a moment, then suggested, "Hinata, why don’t you transfer your chakra to me?"

"Huh?" Hinata looked at him, surprise flickering in her eyes.

Naruto extended his hand toward her. "Together, we might stand a chance against this thing!"

"Okay!" she exclaimed, a bright smile breaking through her concerns as she grasped Naruto's large hand. It was the first time she had taken the initiative to hold his hand since the Fourth Ninja World War, and it sent a comforting warmth through her.

With a shared determination, Hinata channeled her chakra into Naruto, who reciprocated by amplifying the flow within himself. In that moment, golden and purple flames of chakra enveloped them both, illuminating their faces with an enchanting glow.

They sprang into the air together, condensing their chakra into a colossal Rasengan, its surface radiating power, now adorned with the fierce destructive force of the Lion’s Blast.

"What!!!" they shouted in unison as they unleashed their combined attack onto the Tenseigan.

This time, their strike shattered the outer shell of the Tenseigan, causing its mystical core to spiral and collapse under the onslaught of energy.

As the enormous Tenseigan disintegrated into a flurry of white dots that scattered like stars, Naruto squinted at the remnants, a sense of familiarity tugging at his mind. "These... are..." he began.

Hinata's eyes widened in recognition. "The Tenseigan is made up of Byakugan!"

Those countless Byakugan weren't just from the branch families but included powerful lineage from the main clan, each contributing to the formation of the Tenseigan.

[Senju Tobirama: I never imagined the Byakugan could evolve into the Tenseigan.]

[Uchiha Izuna: White hair, are you eager to study this?]

[Senju Tobirama: I do have some interest, I’ll pursue knowledge, but I assure you, I won’t cross any ethical lines.]

[Uchiha Izuna: Tsk, I don’t believe you.]

As Naruto and Hinata celebrated their victory, the effects of their triumph spread throughout the castle. The once-animated puppets suddenly lost power, clattering to the ground motionless.

"What just happened?" Shikamaru, who had been manipulating the puppets with his shadow technique, blinked in confusion as they abruptly ceased their movements.

"Shikamaru!" Naruto called out, hurrying over with Hinata at his side.

"Naruto, Hinata, are you alright?" Shikamaru asked, still puzzled.

Hinata nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Yes, but I'm so sorry about everything that happened."

Shikamaru glanced around, now clear that the battle had shifted dramatically. "Forget about that for now. What just occurred? Not only did the puppets shut down, but even the artificial sun is gone!"

Naruto quickly explained, "The power source for it all—the Tenseigan—has been destroyed! The moon should be free from its grip now."

"What?!" Shikamaru was taken aback, unsure whether to laugh or simply shake his head in disbelief; they had come here to rescue people, and yet, they had averted a monumental crisis almost by accident.

"Hey! Hinata!!" Sakura and Sai arrived, bringing with them the mission’s objective, the target of their rescue: Hanabi.

"Hanabi!" Hinata rushed forward, a wave of relief washing over her. "Thank you all!" she said, gratitude pouring from her heart. Amidst all the confusion, guilt gnawed at her since she hadn’t been able to protect her sister earlier.

Sakura gently retrieved a fragment of a scarf from her ninja tool pack and handed it to Hinata. "This... is yours, Hinata."

Naruto looked closely at the torn piece in her hands and exclaimed, "Wait! This is the scarf that Toneri destroyed!”

"Huh? How do you know?" Hinata was astonished, realizing that Naruto had been outside the artificial sun when it happened, leaving her puzzled about how he knew about the scarf’s fate.

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly and confessed, "I saw your memories when Toneri's jutsu passed through you."

Sakura chimed in, "You were going to give this to Naruto, weren't you?"

Shifting uncomfortably, Naruto remarked, "So this scarf was for me? Can I have it?"

“But it’s in ruins,” Hinata replied, reluctant to part with something so meaningful.

Naruto, undaunted, reached out his hands. "It doesn't matter if it’s torn. This is the scarf you made!"

Overwhelmed by his genuine affection, Hinata blushed fiercely, unable to resist. With a soft smile, she placed the torn scarf into his hands.

Looking at the precious artifact, Naruto grinned and declared, "Thank you, Hinata. I promise to cherish it."

[Kushina: Oh, Naruto, you’re quite smooth. It makes me blush!]

[Uzumaki Boruto: Grandma, please! Mom's about to faint!]

[Jiraiya: Where on earth did this kid learn to charm people?]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen: Jiraiya, you’re not getting any younger! You should start thinking about marriage before your students have kids while you remain single.]

[Jiraiya: Well…]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen: Didn’t you have a thing for Tsunade? Now’s the time to pursue her!]

[Tsunade: Marriage is not on my agenda yet!]

[Senju Hashirama: Tsunade, being single isn’t everything; think about your future.]

[Tsunade: Grandpa, your take on romance is way out of touch.]

[Senju Hashirama: Ohhhh~]

[The Fourth Raikage: Why does it sound like the God of Ninja is shedding tears?]

[The First Raikage: How else could we muster the courage to confront him and ask for the tailed beasts?]

[The First Kazekage: Thanks to the First Hokage's overly kind nature, we managed to gain the upper hand. By the time the Second Hokage came around, he had grown quite stingy with resources.]

[Senju Tobirama: I can’t shake the feeling you guys have taken advantage of my brother’s generous spirit.]

[Uchiha Madara: So, all those tailed beasts I so painstakingly collected were just swiped by you guys?]

[A group of former Kages: No, that’s not what we said!]

Amidst the laughter and friendly banter of Naruto and his friends, Toneri stood among the wreckage of the Tenseigan, fists clenched in fury.

This was everything his clan had worked for—a treasure forged from their Byakugan, their life’s dedication now laid to waste. "We offered up all our Byakugan to create this eye, and they dare…”

His voice seethed with rage, "I will use this eye to eradicate Earth and everything in your world, Naruto!"

As he finished speaking, Sheren's eyes glowed ominously, their faint blue light a terrifying portent of what was to come.

Just as Naruto and his comrades reached the castle's exit, Shikamaru noticed the special clock on his wrist ticking once more. "What’s going on? Is this clock moving again?"

"Huh?" The group exchanged wary glances, realizing that the crisis they thought had passed was stirring once more, a reminder that danger still lurked around them.
