Chapter 518 Spring Water

Sand Hidden Village
Kankuro's face was full of envy and desire.
"I wish I could be as strong as them..."
"If I enter the Infinite Tsukuyomi, my dream is likely to be to use puppets to fight alongside Naruto and the others."
Then he fell into fantasy.
In fantasy.
His whole body was shining with golden light, and six truth-seeking jades were floating behind him. Naruto patted him on the shoulder.
"This time, it's all thanks to your puppet, Kankuro-sama."
Sasuke, who had the Six-magatama Samsara Eye, snorted.
He looked unconvinced.
"I never thought a puppet could be so powerful."
"Hey Hey……"

Hokage's Office
Kakashi looked at the five people in front of him and said, "Your mission is to rescue the kidnapped Hinata Hanabi, the four-member team led by Shikamaru, and Hinata who volunteered to join. 】
After that, he said to Shikamaru: [Shikamaru, stretch out your hand.]
Shikamaru reached out his hand in confusion: [What's wrong? ]
The assistant standing by made a seal with one hand.
A disk appeared in Shikamaru's palm.
【This is……】
Kakashi explained to the others: [This is a top-secret clock that only the Five Kage have.]
Naruto asked: [Is there any special meaning for this time? ]
[This is the countdown to the destruction of the Earth. ]
Shikamaru touched his chin: [But I don't understand, why is it necessary to equip this thing to rescue Hanabi? ]
[The person who moved the moon is most likely Toneri, the one who kidnapped Hanabi. ]
Is there any evidence?
Kakashi slowly said: [Based on my... intuition. ]
……
Ninja World
"Your intuition is spot on."
"I can testify for you that it was Sheren who did it!"
"This rescue team is well configured! There are people with high IQ, people who can fly, people who are strong, people who have good insight, and uh... Sakura is also quite strong and can help at critical moments."

When passing by the forest, Sai said: [I am here, and I lost the group of people who kidnapped Hanabi. ]
Shikamaru said: [Everyone, please split up and look for clues. Naruto, Hinata is in your care.]
【Leave it to me.】
The four big birds drawn in the fake super beast painting carried five people separately.
Naruto on the big bird looked back at Hinata and asked: [Are you okay? ]
【I'm fine. 】
Hinata opened her Byakugan and looked down. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she saw.
Naruto asked: [What's wrong? ]

Jiraiya sighed.
"Ah... As expected, the most common lie women tell is that I'm fine."
Naruto wondered, "Is that so?"
But Hinata doesn't look like she's in trouble, does she?
Jiraiya continued, "Hanabi has been kidnapped, and there is a time limit for her rescue. Hinata must be suffering more than anyone else."
Naruto suddenly realized.
"That's something."

The two men squatted in the snow.
Hinata used her hands to push aside the thick layer of snow and saw Hanabi's kunai with a small doll tied to it.
【This is Hanabi's kunai. 】
Hinata picked up the kunai, opened her backpack and wanted to put the kunai in it, but Naruto saw the red scarf in the backpack.
[So you are wearing a scarf. ]
Hinata's body stiffened.
[Why don't you fence it in? Don't you feel cold? ]
[I...I'm not afraid of the cold.]
Hinata put the kunai into her backpack and said, "Oh, by the way, I have to report to Shikamaru and the others as soon as possible."
Naruto really didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
[Yes, you are right.]

"I just realized Hinata was wearing so little when I heard Naruto ask."
"Hurry up! It's time to show your gentle side. Put your coat on Hinata!"
"Hinata didn't really listen to Hanabi and wear so little just to look pretty, did she?"

Shikamaru, who was sitting on the big bird, asked: [Hinata, did you see anything? ]
[There is a glowing spring under the cave. ]
[Glowing spring water? ]
Screen turn
Several people came to the spring that Hinata mentioned.
Look at the characters engraved on it.
[That is the 'A' in the ninja word 'AUN', which probably means: Start from here. ]
Shikamaru asked: [Hinata, can you see what's under the spring? ]
【My vision is distorted.】
[The white eyes will be distorted...]
[I can only go down and take a look.] As he said this, Naruto looked down at his scarf.
【By the way, this cannot get wet. 】
Sakura on the side complained, "Isn't that too much? Getting the scarf wet is no big deal."
[No, this scarf is very precious.]
Hearing Naruto's words, Hinata lowered her head in disappointment.
……
Somewhere in the ninja world
Boruto's eyes widened instantly.
"Who gave Dad this scarf?"
"Uncle Sasuke, Dad...won't..."
Future Sasuke: ...
He knew what Boruto was worried about.
He was afraid that Naruto had other very important women outside besides Hinata.
"No, don't worry."
After that, he said with a serious face: "I guarantee with my own character that Naruto is definitely not that kind of person."
If it was true, how could it be hidden from him?
Ninja World
"Hiss...I seem to have discovered an incredible secret."
"This scarf, wasn't it given by Sasuke?"
"Could it be the Third Hokage's relic? This shouldn't be the case..."
Pure Land
Kushina's eyes were filled with apology.
"If I had known that this might cause misunderstanding Hinata, I would have burned this scarf with my last breath before I died."

Sai squatted down and reached out to touch the water surface.
[There's no need to take off your scarf. Even if it touches the water here, it won't get wet.]
As he spoke, he showed the pool of water in his palm to the others.
The water in Sai's hand quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, several people did not waste any more time and jumped into the water one after another like dumplings.
After entering the water, several people swam towards the depths, but before they swam far...
Screen turn
[Imagine, if tomorrow is the end of the world, who would you want to be with? ]
[Stop it, there will be no doomsday on earth. 】
【For example, the moon falls from the sky or something like that. 】
……
Ninja World
"Oh no! The screen is broken! Wasn't this the one that was played before?"
"Iruka, you're such a badass! You really got it right!"
“It should be a memory, right?”
"The end of the ninja world. This should be a big deal for everyone, but I am more curious now whether Hinata wrote Naruto on the paper? Could she have fallen in love with Naruto at such a young age?"
"There's something wrong with this water. Shikamaru was a bit reckless this time. He should have asked Naruto to send a few more shadow clones down there."
on screen
And Shikada said the same thing as before.
[If the end of the world comes, I hope that what falls from the sky is not the moon, but moon cakes. ]
The whole class burst into laughter.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
A classmate exclaimed: [It’s the moon! ]
A huge rock fell from the sky and hit the ninja school.
--boom
Naruto coughed a few times due to being choked by the smoke, but still kept his hands behind his head.
But the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
It became the scene of the Chunin Exam.
The referee announced: [Uzumaki Naruto vs. Inuzuka Kiba. ]
