Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 46 Old Deng! He's keeping hamsters here!

The next morning.

Konoha remained sunny and breezy, with the Uchiha clan's territory bathed in the soft morning light.

Uchiha Izumi woke up with a start, her forehead still damp with fine beads of sweat.

She had been in the illusion world for far too long, which caused her to have nightmares all night. Every time she woke up, she was terrified that she was in the illusion world again and would have to experience the pain of her clan's annihilation once more.

This torment tormented her all night.

As she washed and dressed, the girl in the mirror had faint dark circles under her eyes, and the beauty mark under her eye added to her beauty.

Upon entering the living room, a bowl of miso soup and rice balls were laid out on the table, along with a sticky note.

【I'm off to work now, Quan, keep up the good work! — Love, Mom】

As Izumi's fingertips traced the note, a warm current seemed to flow through his heart, and the nightmare of last night's massacre was largely washed away.

After finishing breakfast, Izumi put on her ninja headband, checked her equipment, and headed out to the team's rendezvous point to complete the mission with her teammates and instructor.

Within the Uchiha clan's territory, peace and tranquility prevailed, and some elderly residents who remained greeted Izumi warmly.

This calm, however, made Izumi grip her ninja tool pouch even tighter.

So, what exactly does that mysterious person want?

After leaving the clan's territory, Quan couldn't help but think of all the things she had experienced during the 'Night of Extermination in an Infinite Cycle'.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Izumi naturally knew genjutsu and had also received training from her elders in the use of the Sharingan.

However, the effects of the illusion techniques she learned on the senses were mainly focused on the individual. For example, the "Naraku-sight Technique" only allowed people to see the most terrifying scenes in their hearts.

But the illusion created by the mysterious man last night was just like a real world.

Despite 'dying' multiple times, Izumi failed to find a flaw in the illusion world, stubbornly believing that he was still in the illusion world.

The entire genjutsu world seems to be confined to the Uchiha clan's territory and the Konoha Police Department. Once you leave this area, you will be intercepted and killed by masked Konoha ninjas.

Izumi had heard of these masked ninjas; they were ANBU ninjas belonging to the Hokage.
But why would the Anbu seal off the Uchiha clan's territory?

"Ohayo, Izumi." A clear voice interrupted her thoughts.

Izumi looked up and saw Uchiha Shisui, who was wearing a black turtleneck short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, with brown armor on his right shoulder, greeting her gently.

"Good morning, Brother Zhishui." When Quan first moved back to the clan's territory with his mother, everything was unfamiliar to him, and he had received help from Zhishui.

Shisui was gentle to everyone, and she took care of Izumi, who had just moved in, like a younger sister.

"Did you not sleep well?" Shisui and Izumi were walking together, and the observant Shisui noticed Izumi's complexion.

“No…it’s just…” Izumi didn’t know what to say.

She recalled witnessing the massacre of the Uchiha clan, where the clan leader Fugaku and his wife were killed by Itachi at the Uchiha clan compound, and how Uncle Yashiro, Uncle Tetsuka, and others were killed by a mysterious masked man at the Konoha Police Department.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have never seen Shisui's shadow.

"If you feel too tired, take a break." Shisui thought that Izumi had just graduated and become a genin, and was not used to the intensity of ninja missions.

Quan opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.

Could it be that Shisui told him he encountered Itachi and a mysterious person in the genjutsu world who massacred the entire Uchiha clan?

And there are Konoha's ANBU ninja outside the clan's territory blocking information? Hunting down the surviving Uchiha clan members?

"Yes, I'll adjust myself!" Izumi tried to respond to Shisui with a smile.

"Don't push yourself too hard." Shisui stopped walking; he had already arrived at the Konoha Police Department.

After the two parted ways, Izumi kept looking back at the Uchiha clansmen coming and going from the police department building, feeling that something was not real.

Even after reuniting with her teammates and undergoing low-level missions under the guidance of a special Jonin, such as weeding, clearing blocked rivers, and helping a noblewoman catch her pet, Izumi always seemed distracted. ——————

In the Hyuga clan's territory, the morning scenery resembles a meticulously painted ukiyo-e scroll.

Hinata knelt on the futon, the lacquerware plate in front of her resembling an exquisite bonsai.

Two slices of salmon were neatly arranged on the edge of a bowl of miso soup, along with a small bowl of rice and a small dish of fruit. This was her breakfast.

"I'm full!" Hinata put down her bowl and chopsticks. Although there was still about a quarter left, she had been taught family etiquette since she was a child, and everything she did had to be done according to the rules.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Hinata's mother said with a smile.

Her father, Hiashi Hyuga, was holding a bowl and deep in thought, unaware of his daughter's state.

Just as Hinata was about to say something more, another voice came to her mind.

'You've never been full, have you?' Hinata, the leader, took control of the body.

'Sister...don't do this...' In her mind's eye, Hinata was afraid that her sister would do something outrageous again, so she quickly stopped her.

Hinata, the leader, said in a deep voice, "Menma told me last time that you have a big appetite, but I never noticed before, so... you're never truly full, are you?"

'elder sister……'

'It was my oversight. Leave the rest to me.' Hinata, the eldest sister, wasn't a big eater during the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World,' and in the past three years, she's been sleeping most of the time, so no one has paid attention to Hinata's appetite.

When Hinata opened her eyes again, her entire demeanor had changed. The timidity and cowardice in her Byakugan had disappeared, replaced by arrogance and confidence.

Hinata's mother immediately noticed the change in her daughter.

Hinata's mother was well aware of her daughter's special circumstances, but before she could ask, Hinata scolded, "Old Deng! Are you raising hamsters here?!"

The bowl in Hiashi's hand cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

He raised his Byakugan with a very serious expression and looked at Hinata.

If it were any other member of the Hyuga clan, being stared at by the clan head with that kind of gaze would already make them timid.

But Hinata, the eldest sister, was very dissatisfied with her father: "Two more servings... no, five more servings!"

"With such a heavy training schedule every day, you still don't give me enough to eat! Are you afraid I'll overfeed you?"

Hinata's sharp tongue, like kunai, pierced Hiashi's chest with precision.

This little cotton-padded jacket is not only made of substandard cotton, but it's also drafty.

"Hinata, how dare you speak to your father like that?" Hinata's mother said.

She first instructed the servants to give Hinata an extra meal, then slowly got up, came to Hinata's side, hugged her daughter, and said gently, "Tell Mom what's wrong."

To her as a mother, both Hinata and the fiery Hinata were her daughters.

Moreover, it felt to her like she was raising two daughters with completely different personalities, which was quite interesting.

"Mom..." Hinata, the eldest sister, hesitated for a moment as she felt her mother's warmth.

The mother in this world was very good to her. Although Hiashi was always being criticized and her father's authority was being challenged, she was still very tolerant of her.

But she also had parents and a family in that world.

She gradually came to understand what Menma meant by saying "this is not real" all the time.
