Naruto: We are invincible

"Those three years were the happiest time of my life. I finally had a friend, Itachi. He always kept to himself, but I would occasionally make him smile." Nao said, and Hinata couldn't help laughing after hearing that.

"We are friends and rivals. We both longed to become strong, encouraged each other, and sparred almost every day. In the end, we took the Chunin Exam together and both passed. That guy defeated me in the final round, but I think I gave him a hard time too." Nao pouted in feigned dissatisfaction.

"Later, Itachi was transferred to the Anbu, and I became alone again. My sister often went on long-term missions, and I began to train day and night again. In this way, year after year, I became a Jonin. I occasionally saw Itachi in the clan land, but I don't know why, he always avoided me, as if he was deliberately distancing himself from me."

"It wasn't until Lord Fugaku announced that he was going to launch a coup that I understood why Itachi did this. He had been keeping his distance from me so that he could better complete his mission. Everyone in the family was controlled by him using illusions. I watched him slaughter everyone with my own eyes, and then he left Konoha with the charge of being a traitor."

"I could feel that he was in great pain while on the mission. I wanted to find him and tell him that he didn't kill anyone, but Lord Fugaku wouldn't let me. Two years after I left Konoha, my sister died, and I became completely alone. To make matters worse, a civil war broke out in the Hidden Mist Village, and this war was actually instigated by Lord Fugaku in order to weaken the Hidden Mist Village."

"I became more lonely, carrying out missions numbly every day. After returning home, I was so tired that I fell asleep and started repeating the same life the next day. I continued to carry out missions, and as the Sharingan evolved, my strength became stronger and stronger, and I awakened new powers. Until that time when I was on a mission in the Hidden Mist Village, I met you." Nao sighed.

"To me, it was just an ordinary mission. But I lost." Nao smiled self-deprecatingly, "You made me realize my own shortcomings. I began to reflect on myself and started training again, hoping to meet you again one day and avenge my previous shame. After the civil war in the Hidden Mist Village ended, the Uchiha clan was forced to leave there, and I received a new mission - to blow up the ninja school in Konoha and kill everyone inside."

"I came to Konoha to carry out a mission..." When Nao said this, Hinata's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe that Nao would actually take on such a mission.

"We even passed each other on the street," Nao recalled with a complicated smile on her face.

Hinata also recalled that encounter, when she felt a familiar chakra.

"I sneaked into the ninja school, and in the corridor, I heard Iruka's voice. He was giving a lesson to the students about 'The Will of Fire'." Nao said.

Hinata couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. It turned out that Iruka would talk about the "Will of Fire" wherever he went.

"He said that everyone in Konoha is a family and that we should take care of each other and support each other. I was very sad at the time because I had never felt this kind of warmth since my parents passed away."

"I gave up the mission and went back to tell Lord Fugaku about this. It was only after that that I found out that the murderer of my sister was actually Lord Fugaku!"

Nao's tone became angry when she said this:

"I always thought that my sister died when she exchanged her Mangekyō Sharingan with me, and I blamed myself for it for a long time. I was too eager for power, so I forced my sister to exchange eyes with me, and eventually killed her. But all this was a conspiracy by Lord Fugaku. He killed my sister because she no longer obeyed him. I hate him so much, he actually took away the last relative in my life!"

"I fought him to avenge my sister, but I lost and was left here to die by him. Luckily Itachi found me and brought me back here... to my new home." Nao said this with a genuine smile on her face, "I... I just don't want to be alone anymore."

Hinata hugged her gently and said:

"You still have us, Nao. You will never be alone again. You still have Itachi."

"Thank you." Nao's eyes were filled with tears and she gave Hinata a big smile. This was the first time she had smiled so sincerely in many years.

"By the way," Hinata asked as if she suddenly remembered something, "Have you confessed to Itachi?"

When Nao heard this question, she blushed and hurriedly avoided Hinata's gaze. Hinata couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this.

"Not yet..." Nao replied hesitantly.

"Why not?" Hinata asked confused.

"What if he doesn't like me?" Nao lowered her head and said in a low voice.

She couldn't bear the pain of rejection now.

"He was even willing to ask Naruto to save you for you." Hinata said with a smile.

Nao was stunned for a moment. Although Itachi was not as arrogant as the other members of the Uchiha clan, he also had his own self-esteem. In order to save her, he was willing to bow to others.

"You, you said he really likes me?" Nao felt her face getting hotter and hotter, as if she was back many years ago when she confessed her love for Itachi to her sister.

"Of course he likes you." Hinata said affirmatively, and Nao nodded excitedly after hearing that.

"Then...what should I do?" Nao asked at a loss. She had never made friends before, let alone female friends. She had never had this feeling when talking to her sister before.

"You should..." Hinata whispered a few words into Nao's ear.

## Naruto and Itachi's side##

Naruto and Itachi were eating quietly in the kitchen when suddenly, Itachi shuddered.

"What's wrong with you?" Naruto asked concernedly when he saw Itachi twisting uncomfortably in his chair.

"I feel like something bad is about to happen." Itachi said, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Just then, the kitchen door suddenly opened, and Hinata and Nao walked in, both with malicious smiles on their faces.

"Oops..." Naruto and Itachi looked at each other and swallowed at the same time.

"You two, stand up!" Hinata ordered, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Naruto and Itachi stood up obediently, not sure what the two girls were going to do.

"Nao, let's start." Hinata turned to Nao and said, "Open your Sharingan and I will show you."

Nao nodded, her eyes instantly turning blood red as she locked her gaze on Hinata.

Hinata walked up to Naruto, looked him straight in the eyes, bit her lower lip gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
