"You said you want to take us to see if we can obtain the Tenseigan, so why are we here?!" Neji's eyes widened, and even with his calmness, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, this is the fastest shortcut." Natsuo laughed.
"But you are taking us flying into the sky!"
Natsuo's eyes had changed to the Rinnegan, and at this moment he had a smile. He held Neji by the neck with one hand and carried Hinata against his chest with the other hand. At the same time, it manipulated gravitational and repulsive forces to fly directly to the Moon.
Neji was stunned, the altitude increased rapidly, and the Konoha village under his feet had gradually turned into a small black spot. Even with the Byakugan, he couldn't see anything clearly.
Although he already possessed the strength at the Elite Jonin level, if he falls from this height, he will definitely die!
Gritting his teeth tightly, Neji tried his best not to be afraid, but the situation of not being able to feel anything under his feet and the realization that he might die also made his heart beat wildly.
Hinata's heart was also beating wildly, although the reason was very different from Neji's. 'I'm being hugged by Brother Natsuo... I'm being hugged...'
Hinata's face was flushed, her arms grabbed onto Natsuo's neck, her head was pressed against his chest, and she could hear the vigorous and powerful beating of his heart.
She felt her breath fill with Natsuo's scent... Hinata didn't say a word, she rolled her eyes and fainted from embarrassment.
Natsuo glanced at her, then he didn't pay attention to her. After all, this kind of situation has been going on for a while.
Soon, the wind pressure caused by Natsuo's speed made Hinata wake up again. She raised her head subconsciously and saw Natsuo's face.
Unconsciously he took a deep breath, and inhaled Natsuo's scent...
Hinata had been fluctuating between passing out, being awake and passing out again.
"Natsuo-sama, where are we going!" Neji couldn't help but said.
Now not even the black dot that was Konoha is visible below.
"To the moon."
"The moon?!" Neji's eyes widened. 'Speaking of which, it seems like we really came straight to the moon...'
No wonder Natsuo waited until nightfall to call the two of them, because only at this time can the direction of the moon be seen.
In fact, there are many ways to get to the moon.
Like the portal located inside the underground spring they used in The Last: Naruto the Movie
Natsuo also does not believe that during these hundreds of years the Otsutsuki clan on the moon have not opened other passages, perhaps they have already placed entrances throughout the shinobi world.
Even if those entrances existed, Natsuo didn't know where they were, and he also didn't intend to waste time looking for them.
The Rinnegan can control gravity which allows it to levitate, and since Natsuo obtained the Six Paths Chakra added to his unique Sage Mode he was able to acquire the ability to fly similar to that of the Sage of the Six Paths.
Although Natsuo does not understand why in the Shinobi World you can still breathe when you get so far from the Planet or even on the Moon. But since even the Moon was created with the power of the Rinnegan, it is normal that this type of situation can occur.
"Why are you yelling Neji? Is it because you're afraid of heights?" Natsuo asked half-jokingly.
Neji was silent for a moment, gritting his teeth and trying to adopt his usual mature and stable posture.
"Natsuo-sama, I think normal people would be afraid of heights if they were taken to such a high altitude."
"Who said that, isn't Hinata okay?" Natsuo moved his arm to move Hinata, motioning for Neji to look at Hinata, who had just woken up and passed out again.
Neji: "..."
I think it's not that Hinata isn't afraid of heights, but that she probably doesn't have a place in her mind for fear...
Natsuo's speed was very fast, and they quickly approached the position of the moon.
Even without the Byakugan, Neji could see the pits and craters, completely different from the white moon seen from the ground.
Neji looked at all this with a look of surprise and was even more surprised when he saw what the Shinobi World looked like from space.
This scene also made him begin to gradually forget his fear, and his gaze was replaced with one of curiosity.
Of course, it may also be that the flight time is too long, and he is used to this situation.
"This moon is really ugly." Neji even began to comment enthusiastically: "We see it as a white moonlight from the ground, but now it is full of bumps..."
"If poets and artists found out, I don't know how depressed they would be."
"Huh? Natsuo-sama, there seems to be something flying towards us from the moon..." Neji stared blankly at the being that was getting closer. Then he activated the Byakugan and saw... 'A Puppet?'
"Oh, it's normal." Natsuo's expression was calm. "Perhaps the residents of the moon saw that we were coming, so they reacted?"
"There are still inhabitants on the moon?" Neji asked in surprise.
Natsuo looked at Neji and asked: "Neji, why did I bring you here?"
"Uh...to see if we can get the Tenseigan."
"So, if there are no residents, where would we get the Tenseigan from? Do you really think I'm so lazy as to take you on a hike?"
"Huh? Natsuo-sama, they don't seem to be very friendly." The corner of Neji's mouth twitched.
The puppets have already started brewing light green light bullets and blasted towards Natsuo.
Apparently the moon doesn't welcome foreign visitors.
Neji's brow was dripping with sweat, and he was still in space at this time. Although the space is amazing, and they can continue to breathe, it also does not affect the battles between people... But there is no foothold!
Gentle Fist, which Neji is best at, is useless at this moment, he directly becomes a burden.
'I can only trust Natsuo-sama, I hope he can solve them.' Neji gritted his teeth. 'But now he is holding Hinata and me while he flies, I don't know if in this situation he can face the enemy.'
Neji looked at Natsuo's Rinnegan, it was the first time he saw those eyes, he was naturally surprised and also had many doubts. But in the end he didn't ask or say anything.
But still, he can judge that Natsuo's current ability to fly is related to those eyes. And although Neji doesn't know what other abilities those eyes have, no matter what, it seems that it will be difficult for Natsuo to face the enemy with two charges in his arms...
Natsuo narrowed his eyes slightly and the skeleton made of chakra instantly took shape, followed by the appearance of muscles, skin and armor...
Complete Body - Susanoo!
The Susanoo had a pair of wings, and while carrying the three people, it rushed straight towards the group of puppets.
"Is this... the Susanoo?" Neji was surprised, but upon being inside the Susanoo, he instantly felt an incomparable sense of security. 'But since Susanoo can fly, why doesn't Natsuo-sama take us flying like this all the time? Also why did she have to carry me by the neck?'
Feeling embarrassed, Neji instinctively wanted to speak, but saw Hinata wake up in Natsuo's embrace with a surprised cry. 'Well... Now it seems I understand why Natsuo-sama insists on using such a troublesome method to get here.'
Neji looked helpless.
Meanwhile, the Susanoo began to attack all the puppets indiscriminately.
The two samurai swords slashed down in turn, and each blow carried a fierce sword energy, smashing all the puppets involved.
The puppet army, which clearly consisted of thousands, was completely defeated! Just a few hits, they eliminated them all!
And the puppets' sporadic light bomb attacks seemed to tickle the Susanoo, without even causing a bit of damage.
[Bang!]
The Susanoo landed directly on the surface of the moon, and, at the same time, pieces of the puppets fell all over the surface.
"As expected of Natsuo-sama!" Neji's eyes were excited, this is the power of the man he is willing to follow.
"As expected of Brother Natsuo..." Hinata's face was a little red, probably because Natsuo's hand was still around her waist when she was clearly in the inner space of the Susanoo with a foothold...
However, Natsuo ignored him and smiled in the direction of the moon instead. Suddenly, he spoke out loud.
"Aren't you going to come out to see me?"
Waited for three minutes, and there was no response.
"If you don't come out, then I will go in." Natsuo said calmly, Susanoo directly tore the surface of the moon with a knife and entered the inner space.
At this moment, Hinata and Neji discovered that it appears that the interior of the Moon was hollow.
"Yes, since there are residents here, they will definitely renovate the place where they live. How can they possibly live in such a desolate place?" Neji suddenly realized.
They rode Susanoo, wandering through the forests, looking at the many ruined houses below, full of neglect and decay.
There was still an artificial sun hanging in the sky, and a constant stream of puppets emerged from it, heading in their direction.
"Natsuo-sama, let me fight you!" Neji volunteered.
He came here to become stronger, how could he stay behind when there are enemies in front of him!
Natsuo looked at him: "Are you sure?"
"Ah... sure."
"Then try it."
"...?" Neji looked at Natsuo with a strange look, how is he supposed to be able to fight those flying puppets?
…
"These puppets are so strong?!" Hinata widened her eyes in surprise.
And Neji's forehead was also sweating. 'When Natsuo-sama knocked the puppets to the ground, he did it so easily...'
'But when I went up to them, I realized that all the puppets were at the Chunin level. Although they only had one form of attack, their power was comparable to A-level ninjutsu! Coupled with the advantage of flight, it is estimated that ordinary Jonin are not as difficult to defeat as them.'
That's all, it's just a Jonin, and it's not like Neji can't solve it. But the problem is...
The large number of puppets!
Compared to the White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets, which has been famous in the shinobi world for years or the Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets obtained from Sasori by the Kazekage Rasa recently, they are nothing.
After all, human puppets of Sasori's technique can only display the strength of an ordinary Jonin.
When Sasori uses this technique plus he has no weakness in his main body it is equivalent to the peak of the Kage level.
But isn't this group of puppets in front of Neji equivalent to at least a hundred Kage-level peaks besieging him?
Neji soon fell to the disadvantage and almost died. It was Natsuo who swung the Susanoo sword directly and saved him.
Neji had to walk back to the Susanoo depressed. The quality of this battle was too high for him to get in.
"Don't worry, the reason for bringing you was so that you would understand the origin of the Tenseigan, I never thought of making you fight to obtain it." Natsuo patted Neji on the shoulder. "Besides, you're still young, so there's no need to worry so much."
"Leave the matter in my hands..." Saying this, Natsuo attacked with the Sword of Susanoo in the direction of the artificial sun.
[Boom!]
The huge sword energy directly cut a hole in the light film of the artificial sun, and then strode in.
And within the artificial sun, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with his eyes closed, looked at Natsuo and the others with an angry expression.
"People of the lower world, you..."
"Are you the only one left of Hamura's lineage?" Natsuo revealed the Rinnegan and looked at it with a smile. "I heard that you want to destroy the world?"
"If you submit to me, I will forgive you for your ignorance, what do you think?"
