An unprecedented sensation was spreading through the Leaf Village.

The village was filled with whispers about Danzo's case and his long track of cruelties.

Moreover, Sasuke's return, as well as Naruto's impressive achievements, such as eliminating the leader of Akatsuki, were the talk of the town.

"Oh my God, I saw Naruto and almost fainted," confessed one.

"You too?" replied another, surprised.

"He's so handsome... How can he be?" wondered a third, charmed.

"And what a genius he is," observed a fourth, admired.

Of course, Naruto's appearance always drew attention, but never as much as now.

In recent days, he performed numerous feats that catapulted him into the center of attention. He was mentioned at least once in almost every conversation.

In the Leaf Village, it was practically impossible to find someone who didn't know him.

"Speaking of which, is it true what they're saying about the Hyuga princess, Hinata?" questioned one of the voices.

"Is it true that she defeated a member of the Akatsuki practically alone using a bow and arrow?" asked another.

"I'm not sure... But that's what they're saying around," replied a third.

"A bow and arrow... I think I've never heard of a ninja using something like that before," reflected a fourth.

"Well, thinking about it, it aligns quite well with the Byakugan, doesn't it?" suggested another.

"And so, in the end, is it true or not?" questioned the last one, still uncertain.

The one responsible for all this commotion was in a training field, trying to develop a storage ring using Sealing Techniques.

His intention was to use the orb as an energy source to create an object capable of sustaining a dimensional space more practically than a sealing scroll.

His parents approved the idea and promptly offered to help him.

However, Naruto, wishing his parents to continue to grow stronger, instructed them to contribute only through a shadow clone. There was no need to interrupt their own training for this task since it didn't have the same urgency.

While testing the creation of the ring, Naruto also did not forget to employ his multiple shadow clone jutsu and distribute purple and red orbs among them.

He himself was already close to mastering all divine arts and god arts he had. If possible, he wanted to perfect everything to the fullest before reaching the Planetary State.

In this state, he would probably release an aura that would encompass the entire planet. If he were even more prepared, the result might be even more impressive.

For this reason, he considered it vital to learn everything that was at his disposal on the third map. There were still divine arts and god arts that he needed to master.

Lu Ze, the original story's character, took much longer to acquire his abilities, but it's important to remember that he didn't have the shadow clone jutsu at his disposal, unlike him.

Naruto even felt he was naturally more talented, even without relying on the use of clones, but this didn't have much relevance. What truly mattered was to keep his progress steady, striving to surpass himself at every moment.

Only with absolute power could he act according to his will. A clear example was what happened with Danzo and Obito.

If Naruto weren't so powerful, none of that would have been possible. Until then, the fourth ninja war could have erupted.

He admits that he pondered whether the war could bring something positive, by forging an alliance among the five nations. However, how many sacrifices would have to be made for this to be achieved?

And, honestly, such a war would be unnecessary. It was just a matter of time until he could gather all the villages and induce them to accept a peace agreement. Otherwise, they would have to face him as an enemy...

And, unlike the First Hokage, Naruto was on the path to immortality. There wouldn't be a war as long as he was alive.

'Is my birthday coming... Should I celebrate with a party?' Naruto wondered.

Soon it would be October 10, and a celebration could be a perfect opportunity to invite his closest friends and share with them the much-appreciated rabbit meat.

Such an occasion could also be a good time for those who haven't had a chance to taste it yet.

After pondering, he quickly agreed with the idea, believing it to be a great initiative.

Now, he also wouldn't need to ignore Sakura and Sai anymore. After all, Danzo was dead and Sasuke had returned to the village.

Despite disagreeing with many of Sakura's choices, she was still a dear friend. It wouldn't be right to continue excluding her when there was no longer a need.

However, regarding the faint light orbs, Naruto was still unsure whether to start sharing them or wait until he reached the Planetary Stage.

Creating several invitations, Naruto used some shadow clones transformed into little blue birds to distribute them.

As for the celebration venue, he thought of renting a banquet hall. He also sent a request to Tsunade for her help in securing an appropriate space for the celebration.

Later, already in the evening, Naruto received confirmation from everyone, promising to attend the event. Tsunade also replied, allowing him to use the Senju Clan to organize the party.

'Perfect!' Naruto was excited to receive this news through the shadow clone he had left in the village.

'Let's see, here's a letter from Hinata...' Naruto thought. In the missive, she was asking if she could visit him that night, she seemed to be unsure about the technique he had taught her.

Of course, Naruto was also aware of her incredible feat in defeating a member of the Akatsuki. He wanted to see her and congratulate her.

After writing an affirmative response, Naruto began to remove rabbits from his mental dimension, a skill he discreetly hid by touching the Torii Seal. Then, he started the process of implanting the Sharingans he had previously collected from Obito's hideout.

There were many of them, more than fifty pairs. Naruto took quite some time to complete the procedure, which would be even more time-consuming without the help of shadow clones.

It was approaching 9 PM when he finished. Teleporting, he appeared in his house. After a quick bath, he headed to the kitchen and noticed that almost everything was already prepared.

It was clear how useful the shadow clones could be, saving his time.

Hearing the doorbell, Naruto smiled and went to answer it. Hinata was waiting on the other side of the door with a shy smile.

Leaning forward, he gave her a quick kiss. Then, he smiled and said, "Good evening, welcome, make yourself at home~"

Stunned, not expecting Naruto's sudden action, Hinata froze. She touched her lips mechanically as if she couldn't believe what had just happened.

Hinata's cheeks grew increasingly red and she slightly pursed her lips.

Naruto laughed, waiting patiently. Hinata came to her senses hearing his laughter, a sound so charming that it instantly melted her heart. Although she was embarrassed, she felt pleasantly surprised. She entered the house led by Naruto, who closed the door behind them.

Upon entering, she smelled the wonderful aroma in the air. However, she noticed it was slightly different from the last time she had eaten there.

"Hehe, noticed the difference?" Naruto noticed her intrigued look and replied, "This time, the meat is of a slightly superior quality than before."

Hinata had her hair in buns that day, delicately arranging the fringe falling by her face with the tips of her fingers. With a charming smile, she said, "Yes, it really seems different."

"By the way, you look stunning today," Naruto complimented her with a caring smile, "Every day that goes by, you seem to become even more beautiful~"

Hinata was dressed in a red silk kimono with a delicate cherry blossom pattern. The square neckline revealed a strip of immaculate skin, hinting at subtle sensuality, while the black sash around her waist accentuated the graceful shape of her body.

He touched her nose, making her blush furiously, almost to the point of fainting. Only the strength of her trained body kept her standing.

Watching her blush and back away like a frightened bunny, Naruto couldn't resist. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled her close.

Naruto's sudden action took her by surprise again. Before she could realize it, their lips were sealed in a kiss. Hinata widened her eyes momentarily, her mind a whirlwind of emotions, before closing them and surrendering to the moment.

During the kiss, Hinata wrapped Naruto in her arms, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. They lost themselves in the experience, delighting in the intimate and tender closeness they shared.

The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the tangible vibration of love surrounding the couple. The kiss was filled with affection, gentleness, and intensity, a true manifestation of the love they both nurtured for each other.

Finally, they slowly disentangled, their gazes locked onto each other, lips slightly pink from recent contact. A radiant smile emerged on both their faces, reflecting the happiness and love they felt.
