Naruto: We are invincible

In order to save Nao, Itachi actually put aside his self-esteem.

"Why... do you want to do this?" Naruto asked curiously, but Itachi remained silent.

"You love her? You have been loving her for so many years?" Naruto asked tentatively, as if he realized something.

Itachi nodded.

"Always loved you." Itachi said softly.

"She has been with me since we were young. We were born only one month apart. We are friends and also rivals. We graduated from the ninja school together, joined the same team, and took the Chunin Exam together. I fell in love with her because she treated me as an ordinary person. In her eyes, I'm not the son of the Uchiha clan leader, nor a genius, I'm just... Itachi." Itachi's voice was full of sadness, and Naruto listened quietly without saying anything.

"It seems we are more alike than we thought." Naruto said with a smile, which confused Itachi. "I also fell in love with Hinata because she accepted me from the beginning. No matter what the people in the village said, she never thought of me as a monster. In her eyes, I was always just Naruto. And... I would do anything for her." Naruto explained as he walked over to Itachi, who was holding Nao's head and letting her rest on his knees.

Naruto gently placed two fingers on Nao's forehead and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes turned silver with several concentric circles appearing around his pupils.

Naruto's fingers emitted a dazzling light, and Itachi noticed that Nao's breathing gradually became steady, her broken bones reconnected, and even the wounds on her skin began to slowly heal.

Naruto retracted his chakra, stood up, and took a few steps back.

Nao moved. She slowly opened her eyes and asked confusedly, "Itachi-kun... I feel much better. Where are we?"

"Itachi-kun?" Naruto couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nao address Itachi.

He knew he had made the right choice.

"He will be exposed soon." The nine-tailed fox whispered, and then said no more.

"We are in Konoha, the home of the Senju clan." Itachi replied. Nao became alert when she heard the word "Konoha". She sat up suddenly, but found that there was only darkness in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Hinata asked with concern when she heard the noise. She was curious why Nao's eyes were always blank white.

"I recognize your voice." Nao ignored Hinata and said in the direction of the voice, "You are the Hyuga clan member who fought with me in the Hidden Mist Village that day."

Nao took a defensive stance. She was now in the enemy camp and had to be extremely alert.

"My last name is Senju now... and I'm engaged to Naruto," Hinata explained, but Nao didn't seem to care.

"Don't be nervous, Nao." Itachi said, placing his hand on Nao's shoulder, and Nao relaxed. "You are safe now, they are all friends." Itachi comforted.

Nao snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Don't move," Naruto said, walking up to Nao and placing a finger over each of her eyes.

"Relax," Naruto said softly, but Nao was still nervous.

"Is he trying to dig out my eyes?" Nao thought fearfully.

She was now like a rabbit caught in a wolf's den, and she had lost her eyesight, which made her even more uneasy.

"Hell Road." Naruto whispered, and Nao was surprised to find that what Naruto said was exactly the same as what Nagato said when he treated her eyes in the Hidden Mist Village.

Before Nao had time to think about it, she heard Naruto say, "Open your eyes."

Nao hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes.

What appeared before her was Naruto's familiar face, but his eyes were no longer the scarlet Sharingan, but the Rinnegan that radiated dazzling light.

"You actually opened the Samsara Eye..."

Nao patted his forehead and suddenly realized:

"You are all descendants of the Uchiha and Senju clans, so it's not surprising that you can open the Samsara Eye. I really don't know why Fugaku didn't think of this."

"So, this is true..." Itachi said with a complicated expression. Nao turned around and asked, "Everyone is still alive, right?" Itachi nodded.

"Who is the masked man?" Naruto asked. Nao felt frightened by his sharp gaze. She swallowed, knowing that she could not lie.

"Uchiha Fugaku." Nao replied.

"Isn't he the head of the Uchiha clan?" Naruto asked. Everyone nodded.

"Another self-righteous Uchiha." Tobirama said disdainfully.

"I finally remembered where I've seen his chakra. Seventeen years ago when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, I felt his chakra." Minato said with sudden enlightenment.

Nao then began to look carefully at the people around her, and when she saw the people next to Minato, her eyes widened in surprise.

"The Fourth Hokage?" Nao shouted in surprise.

She saw Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Mito Uzumaki, and Kushina Senju.

"How... is this possible?" Nao asked in disbelief.

"The power of the Rinnegan transcends life and death." Naruto explained with a smile.

"I see." Nao patted her forehead again, "You are the perfect vessel for the Rinnegan. The power of the Uchiha and the Senju are perfectly integrated in you. You can use its power without any burden, unlike Nagato."

"Okay, now it's time to tell us everything you know about the Uchiha clan and the Akatsuki organization." Naruto asked, and Nao knew she couldn't refuse.

### One hour later ###

"This information is very useful, thank you, Nao." Naruto said. Nao nodded and looked at Itachi.

"What should we do now?" Nao asked, and Itachi also looked at Naruto.

*smack*

Itachi hit Nao on the back of the neck with his backhand, and Nao immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Itachi quickly caught her and placed her gently on the ground.

"Itachi, what are you doing?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"I have to go find Sasuke. Can you promise me one thing?" Itachi looked at Naruto solemnly, with a hint of pleading in his tone. "If I don't come back..." He didn't say anything else, but Naruto understood what he meant.

"I will take care of her like a family member, I promise, Itachi." Naruto said solemnly.

Itachi nodded, used the body-flickering technique to disappear from the spot, leaving only a shadow.
