"Has anything unusual happened recently in the Land of Fire?"
Noah asked after thinking for a moment. He wasn't sure where the current Naruto timeline was. From what he could tell, it was still manageable with the current level of power—those godlike enemies hadn't started appearing yet.
"Hmm… lately there've been constant reports of Tailed Beasts being captured," Hinata answered after some thought. "Recently, the One-Tail Shukaku from the Land of Wind was taken too. It was done by a rogue ninja group called Akatsuki."
She had gone to help during the rescue mission. But it was only then that they realized how terrifyingly strong the Akatsuki were. Just two members had been enough to defeat an entire Kage.
"Akatsuki, huh?" Noah nodded, guessing this was around the time Deidara captured the One-Tail. The Fourth Great Ninja War was still a bit down the line, so there was time. He figured it was the perfect opportunity to train Hinata into someone strong—at the very least, give Froggy a reliable ally next time he returned to the Naruto world.
"You need to be careful around that organization," Noah warned. "According to my sources, their leader possesses the Rinnegan. That's the legendary Sage of Six Paths' eye—you should let your Hokage know."
Hinata's eyes widened in shock. She'd never heard of such a thing. But she didn't question Noah's words—he had no reason to lie. In fact, he seemed to know a lot about Akatsuki, like some hidden figure deeply involved in the ninja world's shadows.
"Actually, scratch that," Noah changed his mind, waving his hand. "You'd better not say anything. If you tell them, the Yamanaka clan might try to dig through your mind to find out where you learned it." A simple girl like Hinata wouldn't be able to explain it. If she couldn't give them a believable reason, the village might start suspecting her. Even as the Hyuga heiress, she wasn't immune.
"Just keep it to yourself for now," he added. "If you ever run into Akatsuki, don't fight—just run. You've got no chance against them."
Hinata nodded seriously. Her expression showed absolute trust in Noah's words. After all, Froggy had once saved her, and now his father was warning her. She had no reason to doubt either of them.
Noah rubbed his chin thoughtfully, realizing Hinata needed a power boost. But how exactly? He wasn't sure where to start. His own path was mostly based on physical strength and stamina.
'System, can I travel to Hinata's world myself?'
He finally asked after hesitating a moment. Normally he wouldn't bother, but now it concerned Froggy's safety. If something happened to him, Noah wasn't sure the Travel Frog system could revive him.
[Response: Host must obtain a Naruto World Ticket to travel there.]
'Ticket? What kind of ticket?'
Noah paused for a moment, confused.
[The ticket refers to something tied to the Naruto world's main storyline, containing great power.]
The Divine Tree. Noah immediately understood. At minimum, he'd need a branch from the Divine Tree, which only Froggy could bring back. Noah had no control over that part.
While Noah was lost in thought, Hinata quietly looked around the house. Everything inside looked tiny, like it was made just right for Froggy. As for Noah himself, she couldn't quite figure him out.
By the time Noah finished communicating with the system, Hinata was already familiar with everything in the room.
"White Night-sama, you feel so warm and kind," she said with a gentle smile. The entire room gave off a feeling of peace and warmth.
"Kind?" Noah raised an eyebrow. "No one's ever said that to me before." Even Hinai had never complimented him like that—it was a first for him.
"Eh?" Hinata blinked, surprised he cared about something like that.
"Oh right, White Night-sama," she suddenly remembered. "If Froggy ever comes back, I want to thank him in person. He gave me a new future. If it weren't for him, I'd have already been captured long ago."
"He probably hasn't returned to Konoha because of the bounty on his head," she added quietly. "But now, I can protect him too."
"I used to be so weak," she admitted, her voice soft but firm. "Froggy gave me courage. He saved me from the hands of bad people."
Hinata stumbled over her words, not knowing how to express her feelings. She really hoped Froggy could visit Konoha again. He was the one who changed her life, gave her strength. But at the same time, she didn't want him to come—because of the danger.
Now that all of the ninja world had a bounty on Froggy's head, if he showed up, he might get caught the moment he stepped through the village gates.
"It's fine," Noah smiled. "Froggy will be happy to hear that." Next time Froggy went to the Naruto world, it would be when the timeline stabilized. He was sure they'd meet again—he looked forward to it.
They chatted for a while longer before Hinata finally mentioned she should leave. She still felt Noah's presence was oddly comforting, like there was a quiet kindness in him. In her whole village, she didn't have many real friends—just her teammates and a few teachers. But being here felt a hundred times more comfortable than being at home.
"Since you're leaving, let me give you one more small gift."
