An invisible spark seemed to burst forth in the air.

Chapter 113 Obito: Zetsu, is there any medicine?
Naruto scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and explained, "My father has been very busy lately, often leaving early in the morning to handle official business, so he's not home right now."
At this point, his eyes dimmed, and he sighed softly.
In a dream.
My father is alive and powerful, but he is too busy.
Even he himself had only met him a few times.
Neji clicked his tongue in regret: "Tsk, I thought I'd get to see the Fourth Hokage in person!"
Then he resumed his cheerful expression: "Then I won't be a third wheel! Since the Fourth Hokage isn't here, I'll be going now. Brother-in-law!"
He winked at his blushing sister, "Hinata, you can play here for a while. I'll come pick you up tonight."
"I, I know..."
Hinata blushed and answered softly, not daring to look at Naruto's expression, and simply lowered her head.
Watching Neji leave, Naruto let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"call--"
He patted his chest, muttering, "Finally gone..."
This overly enthusiastic brother-in-law is really hard to handle, even more difficult to deal with than Sasuke in my dreams!
After Naruto finished his rant, he turned around and saw Hinata still standing awkwardly in the entryway, her face flushed.
He stepped aside and gestured for us to come in, saying, "Come on in!"
"Um……"
Hinata softly agreed and followed Naruto into the living room, carrying the gift box.
Kushina saw what had just happened, but simply covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.
Upon seeing the young guest approach, she warmly stood up to greet her: "Is that Hinata? Welcome, welcome!"
"Hello, Auntie... Um... Excuse me..."
Hinata bowed shyly and politely.
Kushina pulled Karin, who was sitting next to her, to her side and introduced her to Hinata with a smile: "Hinata, this is Karin, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto's family member. She's been staying with us for a while. Karin, this is Hinata, Naruto's friend?"
"I've heard Naruto and Aunt Kushina mention you all the time!"
Karin stood up timidly. "Hello, Hinata-chan. My name is Karin. Nice to meet you!"
"Don't just stand there, sit down! I'll go get you something to eat," Kushina said, taking the gift box from Hinata and placing it aside before going into the kitchen and bringing out some snacks.
Inside the restaurant, Kushina chatted idly with Naruto, Hinata, and Karin in a relaxed atmosphere.
Although Hinata in the dream was still somewhat shy and timid, she was very dignified and polite, and spoke softly yet gracefully.
Hinata is considerate and caring towards Naruto in every way she does, and Naruto does not reject Hinata's care.
……
in the audience.
Karin initially watched Hinata's every move on the screen without thinking much of it.
However, as the scene progressed, she slowly realized that something was wrong.
Although Hinata in the dream had a faint blush on her cheeks, she was elegant and graceful.
Moreover, she got along with Naruto naturally and harmoniously, and it was as if she had already stepped into Naruto's life.
In reality, although I spend every day with Naruto, ...
Karin clenched her fists as she thought about this.
Karin gritted her teeth in shock, thinking, "I never would have guessed that this seemingly shy and introverted girl would be such a formidable opponent!"
[Ding! Karin's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Karin was unaware that Hinata, sitting beside her, was also experiencing a mix of emotions.
Hinata looked at herself on the screen, poised and confident as she chatted with Naruto's family, and felt a deep envy.
In my dream, Hinata Hyuga was gentle and poised, completely unlike my real self, who always stammered and couldn't look Naruto in the eye...
She gently gripped the hem of her dress.
While lost in thought, Hinata suddenly noticed a detail.
On the screen, Karin is sitting with Kushina like family, suggesting she lives at Naruto's house.
In reality...
Hinata blinked, turned her head with some confusion, and whispered to Sakura beside her, "Sakura, where does Karin live in the real world?"
Without thinking much, Sakura instinctively replied, "Hmm? I'll live with Naruto then!"
"Living with...Naruto-kun?!"
Hinata was struck dumb upon hearing this, her pupils dilating in shock!
Her small mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't utter a single word. In her mind, it was as if a million fireworks were exploding, turning into a series of booming exclamation marks.
Naruto and Karin are living together?!
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Sakura, oblivious to Hinata's expression, continued her barrage: "After the last qualifiers, Naruto was taken out of the village by a very powerful ninja to train, and Karin seems to have gone with him too."
Hinata: !!!
An even more formidable rival than Sakura-chan has appeared!!
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Hinata pursed her lips, flustered for a moment, but slowly her eyes became firm.
She can no longer run away; she must be strong!

……
Night fell.
In Konoha Village, the lights were dim in the Hatake family's residence.
In the bedroom, Kakashi lay straight back on the bed, his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling with one eye.
The reason Kakashi didn't appear in the audience that night was actually quite simple: he had insomnia.
"Sigh..." Kakashi sighed deeply.
"Why is that masked man in the audience?"
He was completely dumbfounded after learning that the mysterious masked man had appeared in the audience.
Kakashi isn't stupid, if the rule he deduced is correct.
The identity of this mysterious masked man is becoming increasingly clear.
He is connected to him and is also a member of the Uchiha clan.
"Obito..."
He slowly uttered the name, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Kakashi just couldn't understand how that guy could possibly be Obito.
How could Obito possibly lay a hand on Minato-sensei!
Kakashi just couldn't understand this problem!
"Could it be... that my assumptions about the rules are wrong?"
……
the other side.
Another person who didn't sleep well that night was the mysterious masked man from Amegakure.
Early morning, Rain Hidden Village.
The light rain pattered against the eaves.
As dawn broke, Dai Tu suddenly sat up in bed, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
He stared blankly at the raindrops falling outside the window, remained silent for a moment, and then softly murmured a name: "Lin..."
"hateful!"
He slammed his fist on the headboard, yelling, "Why didn't I enter that dream last night?!"
Obito paced back and forth in the room, scratching his head and trying to figure out why he couldn't enter that mysterious space again.
Recalling last night's events, he rubbed his messy hair and muttered to himself, "I kept dreaming about Lin last night, and then kept waking up in fright... Could it be a problem with my sleep quality?"
Ordinary dreams can't compare to that bizarre one!
It's not realistic enough; there's no olfactory, tactile, or auditory feedback!
