The bumping inside the sack continued.
Protected by the Limitless Technique, Hinata hadn’t suffered any actual physical damage, but her brain was spinning furiously.
Something is wrong, something is deeply wrong!
How could these Kumogakure guys walk through like they owned the place?
Even if the Hyūga patrols had blind spots, were Konoha’s barrier team and Anbu all on vacation too?!
Hinata’s pair of pale-blue Six Eyes narrowed slightly in the dark.
The details she had glossed over while reading Naruto in her past life now clicked rapidly into place in her mind like puzzle pieces.
The Kumogakure envoy delegation comes to sign a peace treaty, yet they choose to make their move tonight.
And the moment they make a move, Konoha’s higher-ups don’t even make a peep!
Holy crap!
I remember now!
Hinata gasped inwardly, her scalp instantly going numb.
This is a rigged death trap!
It’s that disgustingly nauseating ‘Kumogakure Kidnapping Incident’ from the original story!
What happens next?
Old man Hiashi discovers I’ve been kidnapped, gives chase all the way, and ends up slapping that Kumogakure leader to death on the eve of signing this damn treaty!
And then?
Those shameless scumbags from Kumogakure will turn around and bite back, claiming Konoha violated the peace and demanding the corpse of the killer, Hiashi, or else they’ll start a war!
And those top F4 higher-ups in Konoha led by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, for the sake of so-called ‘the bigger picture’ and ‘peace’, will undoubtedly surrender to Kumogakure without a second thought, forcing the Hyūga clan to hand someone over!
In the end, Uncle Hizashi, to protect old man Hiashi and for the sake of so-called Branch House destiny, will have to choose to die in Hiashi’s place!
Inside the sack, Hinata bit down hard, her chubby little fists clenching so tight they creaked.
Damn it!
This is totally a pre-arranged script between Konoha’s higher-ups and Kumogakure!
That old schemer Danzō definitely wanted to use Kumogakure’s hands to weaken the Hyūga clan’s strength!
What do I do?
What do I do?!
Hinata’s mental processing power was totally fried.
If I let old man Hiashi chase them down and kill them, Uncle Hizashi is bound to die!
Then should I kill these three scumbags myself?
No way!
I’m only three years old!
Even if I beat them into pulp, how am I supposed to explain that to Konoha’s higher-ups afterward?
If Konoha’s higher-ups find out that a three-year-old me can instantly vaporize three Kumogakure elites, that old freak Danzō will drag me into Root overnight to slice me up for research!
This won’t work, that won’t work!
Am I seriously just going to watch Uncle Hizashi die?
Watch Neji’s passion—which I just hyped up today—get extinguished by cold reality all over again?!
Panicking, Hinata scratched her head inside the sack, fine beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Right at that moment, the Kumogakure ninja carrying her stopped diving deep; the trajectory of his Earth Release shifted upward toward a residential area.
“Boss, we’re about to pass the edge of the barrier.
We’ll surface here for air and then break through directly!”
“Move fast!
The Hyūga people could notice at any second!”
Subconsciously, Hinata raised her head, her Six Eyes’ panoramic x-ray vision piercing straight through the earth layer above.
In her field of vision, the upper layer was a run-down, narrow studio apartment.
Inside that drafty room, a brat with bright, golden hair was sprawled across the tatami mat, fast asleep, occasionally smacking his lips as if eating Ichiraku Ramen in his dreams.
It was none other than Uzumaki Naruto!
And right around Naruto’s abdomen, that complex, mysterious Eight Trigrams Seal was radiating a faint red chakra glow in the vision of her Six Eyes.
Hinata froze.
The next second, a surge of wild joy and deeply unscrupulous radiance burst violently from her pale-blue eyes.
“Hahaha!
Heaven leaves no dead ends!”
“Sorry, Naruto!”
Hinata clasped her hands together in her mind, apologizing with zero sincerity.
“So Uncle Hizashi doesn’t have to die, and so this lord here doesn’t expose his strength, I’m just going to borrow your resident ‘Old Man Nine-Tails’ today!
Let Konoha’s rightful weapon of mass destruction take the blame for this!”
A cold glint flashed in Hinata’s eyes; she hesitated no longer.
Taking a deep breath, the chakra within her began to circulate wildly in an extremely bizarre pattern.
Reversed Cursed Technique: “Hollow Purple”… No, “Red”!
At this moment, Hinata’s Gojo Satoru template was only 15% unlocked. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
She had no idea that even at just 15%, in the world of Naruto, it represented a terrifying, world-shaking level of destructive power!
Eat this blast!
BOOM—!!!
Without a single hand sign, without any warning!
An invisible yet overwhelmingly massive repulsive force—strong enough to crush everything—erupted upward, centered on the sack where Hinata was!
“What is that sound?!” the Kumogakure ninja carrying the sack roared in terror.
Before he could even react, the soil beneath his feet and the rocks around him were blasted violently from bottom to top by an invisible meteorite in that very instant!
With a deafening bang, the ground blew apart completely!
Dirt within a radius of a dozen meters shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption.
“Ahhh!”
The three Kumogakure ninjas were like leaves caught in a gale, sent flying straight out of the ground by that irresistible repulsive force amidst a sky full of mud and debris, slamming heavily against the walls on both sides of the street and coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
As for the run-down apartment directly above, it suffered an unprovoked disaster.
The thin floor instantly collapsed, and Naruto—still smack-lip-deep in his dreams—plummeted bed and all right into the massive crater below.
“Ouch!
That hurts!”
Rubbing his bruised backside, Naruto blinked his eyes open groggily, completely clueless about what had just happened.
“What’s going on?!
What kind of explosion was this?!”
The Kumogakure leader scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring in absolute shock at the massive crater.
Right at that moment, a seam was abruptly torn open from the inside of the sack at the bottom of the crater.
A fair, chubby little hand shot out of the sack like lightning, stamping with pinpoint precision right onto the abdomen of the dazed Naruto sitting nearby!
Eight Trigrams Seal: Release!
Targeting the sealing nodes clearly seen through her Six Eyes, Hinata smashed a small, highly concentrated cluster of chakra directly into them.
Hummm——!
Naruto’s small body stiffened abruptly.
His azure pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpricks, transforming into beast-like vertical slits!
“ROAR——!!!”
A blood-curdling, inhuman roar burst from Naruto’s throat, echoing across the night sky of Konoha!
Immediately following that, an extremely evil, violently turbulent red chakra surged out from within Naruto like viscous, materialized blood, instantly wrapping around his entire body!
One tail, two tails, three tails!
Three tails condensed from red chakra whipped wildly behind Naruto, scorching the surrounding air until it hissed with heat!
The three Kumogakure ninjas outside the crater were completely dumbstruck.
“Th-this…
what kind of monster is this?!”
“Red chakra…
filled with a malicious aura…
could it be…”
The Kumogakure leader’s legs went weak, his voice warped out of pitch by extreme terror as he blurted out,
“The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?!
Why is Konoha’s Nine-Tails Jinchūriki going berserk here?!”
But he didn’t get a chance to think about it anymore.
Having lost his sanity and driven entirely by killing instinct, the three-tailed Naruto abruptly lifted his head, those crimson beast-pupils locking dead onto the three Kumogakure ninjas outside the crater.
“Roar!”
Bang!
The ground beneath Naruto’s feet shattered instantly.
His body transformed into a red streak of lightning, appearing directly in front of one of the Kumogakure ninjas in the blink of an eye.
“Lightning Release…”
Overwhelmed with horror, the ninja tried to weave hand signs to counter.
Pfft!
A claw wrapped in red chakra pierced straight through his chest!
“Number Two!”
The Kumogakure leader’s eyes split open in fury.
Yet a red afterimage flashed before him—the three-tailed Naruto, moving like a true wild beast on all fours, tackled another ninja to the ground, opened his bloody maw, and bit clean through the man’s neck.
“Monster!
You monster!”
Completely breaking down, the Kumogakure leader turned to run.
But three red chakra tails stretched out like lightning, instantly binding his limbs and neck in a tight grip.
Crunch——
A teeth-gritting sound of cracking bones echoed.
Before the Kumogakure leader could even scream, his entire body’s bones were crushed to pieces, and he was flung aside like a limp ragdoll.

Three formidable Kumogakure elites: completely wiped out!
Watching everything unfold from the seam of the sack, Hinata couldn’t help but cheer wildly in her heart.
Nicely done, little yellow-hair!
You’re taking this blame to the grave—even if old man Sarutobi comes to investigate personally, he won’t find a single flaw!
Who’s going to suspect a three-year-old loli?
Everyone will just think those Kumogakure guys had terrible luck, stumbled upon the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki on their escape route, and triggered a Jinchūriki rampage that wiped them out!
Perfect!
However, Hinata didn’t have time to celebrate for long.
Having slaughtered the Kumogakure ninjas, the three-tailed Naruto slowly turned around.
Those crimson vertical slits, brimming with endless fury and a desire for destruction, fixed straight on Hinata down at the bottom of the crater.
“Roar——!”
Running on all fours, Naruto let out a deafening roar, his three tails thrashing wildly behind him as he lunged straight toward Hinata with a whistle that tore the air apart!
Holy crap!
You’ve gone bloodthirsty, haven’t you?!
Even your benefactor wants a bite?!
Hinata was startled.
Though she knew she had her Limitless Technique for protection, getting pounced on by a giant red monster like that was still pretty gross.
Taking a deep breath, she rapidly gathered chakra within her, her pale-blue Six Eyes instantly analyzing every single movement and trace of chakra flow from the three-tailed Naruto.
“Since you want to fight, this lord will keep you comp—”
Hinata assumed a textbook martial arts stance, preparing to meet an earth-shattering brawl head-on.
Except…
In the limit-range vision of her Six Eyes, the pouncing three-tailed Naruto was…
practically crawling with openings!
Fast as his movements were, they were completely disorganized; massive as his strength was, his chakra distribution was chaotic.
He looked like a drunk man swinging a sledgehammer—all raw power, zero technique.
“Uh…”
Hinata’s mouth twitched violently.
Watching the tooth-and-claw three-tailed Naruto close in on her, Hinata met him head-on without an ounce of hesitation.
Slipping to the side with practiced ease, she effortlessly dodged Naruto’s seemingly ferocious swipe, then casually raised her chubby little fist.
Bang!
A completely unadorned punch landed squarely on the back of Naruto’s head!
“Awoooo—”
Accompanied by a deeply aggrieved howl.
The three-tailed Naruto—who had just looked majestic enough to obliterate three Kumogakure elites a second ago—went limp like a machine pulled from its power source, his eyes rolling back as he passed out cold right in mid-air.
The red chakra wrapping around him receded like a retreating tide straight back into the Eight Trigrams Seal on his abdomen.
Thud.
Naruto’s small body slammed heavily onto the ground right beside Hinata’s feet, completely knocked out.
The air fell dead silent once more.
Maintaining her punching pose, Hinata looked down at Naruto sleeping soundly on the ground, then looked at her own fair, tender little fist.
An awkward silence hung thick in the night wind.
That’s it?
Hinata couldn’t help rolling her eyes heavily, completely speechless.
“I thought popping three tails would make him some kind of powerhouse, but he couldn’t even take a single basic attack from three-year-old me?”
“He’s that weak?”
“Old Man Nine-Tails, your cheat code is garbage!”
While wildly roasting him in her mind, Hinata pricked up her ears.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
The hyper-enhanced sensory power of her Six Eyes clearly captured over a dozen powerful chakra signatures rushing toward them from the distance at blistering speed.
And right at the front of the pack, that pure, dense glob of white chakra belonged to none other than her old man, Hyūga Hiashi!
“Crap, the old man’s coming!”
Hinata’s eyes rolled around.
“Blame shifted, time to clock out!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, she rolled on the spot, expertly burrowing back into the dirt-scented sack and pulling it shut from the inside.
Eyes tightly closed, breathing slowed, her body went completely limp on the ground.
Faking unconsciousness—she was a professional at it.
Next, she’d just wait and see how Konoha’s higher-ups and her old man stressed over the three corpses and one unconscious Nine-Tails Jinchūriki lying out here.
“Uncle Hizashi, Neji, I’ve rewritten your fates today!”
A corner of Hinata’s mouth curved upward in the darkness as she peacefully drifted off into “unconsciousness.”
