Somewhere inside a dark underground path…
Multiple sounds of footsteps echoed around the empty path as few fully clothed silhouettes made their way through .
"Move your lazy asses," A figure leading in the front spoke .
"…"
A couple of meters away, two groups emerged .
"Quickly,"
"They are getting away," One of the men in the groups shouted .
"Hmm?" The figure at the front of the group of bandits turned back .
"Tsk,"
"Ginro!" The leading male shouted .
"Hyah!" The man named Ginrou threw two flying objects that were directed towards the two groups .
"What is that?" One of the men in the two groups asked .
"That is…"
"Everyone, DODGE!" The man shouted at the top of his voice .
(Whoosh!)
The two objects landed in front of both groups,
(BANG!)
It was a hand grenade .
"You're not getting away!" The leader of both groups shouted .
"Tsk," The man named Ginro clicked his tongue .
"The Leaf Police Force is no joke," Another person amongst the bandits commented .
However, at this moment .
(Whoosh!)
"Huh?" The man leading the bandits frowned .
"DISPERSE!" The leader immediately shouted his order upon seeing a silhouette flash by; however, it was too late .
(Whoosh), (Whoosh)
(Whoosh), (Whoosh), (Whoosh)
Shurikens flew out in all directions .
"It's a shuriken," One of the bandits was surprised; however, that wasn't enough to scare him .
("Hmph, As if I'd be scared by a mere shuriken,")
("Even ninjas are unable to stall us the phantom thieves,") The man thought to himself .
However, all that thought process stopped the moment a shine caught his eyes .
("Just now,")
("What was that?") The man asked himself as he tried to observe the shuriken once again .
Despite the Shuriken's high velocity and spin, the man was used to having quick reflexes and thus took the milliseconds he had on hand to observe the shuriken . And that's when it dawned upon him .
("These aren't regular shurikens,") The man thought as he observed the elliptical path the shuriken took .
The shuriken appeared to him as though someone was controlling it . However, in the next millisecond, the shuriken traveled in such a way that all the little light the underground path had suddenly shined on a thin thread-like material that was attached to it .
It was at this point that the thief remembered something a while back he had heard from his captain while discussing their plan for the heist .
< Manipulating Windmill - Quintiple Blades >
(Whoosh), (Whoosh)
(Whoosh), (Whoosh), (Whoosh)
All five Shurikens neatly circled around their targets and pinned them in their place .
*bz* *bz*
Electricity trickled around the wires .
"Gah!" The five bandits shouted in pain at the sometime before passing out .
"…" The two groups chasing from behind were slack-jawed .
(Whoosh!)
A man in dark robes appeared suddenly by the five bandits who were unconscious on the floor .
"As expected of the Chief's husband," the leader of one of the two groups commented as he stared at the man in dark robes .
…
The man in dark robes walked towards the two groups, slowly revealing his face in what little light the underground tunnel contained .
The man was obviously Uchiha Sasuke, who belonged to the world of the limited Tsukuyomi .
"Uchiha Sasuke," The leader of one of the groups responded .
"Hand these four to the torture and interrogation department," Sasuke said, following which he left the scene .
"Yes, Sir," the man saluted .
"He left," A woman amongst the squad commented with a dreamy look .
"You do realize he's married, right?" Another one asked with concern for the woman .
…
(Whoosh!)
A silhouette whizzed past the silent dark tunnel . The figure in question was the leader of the bandits from before .

"Uchiha Sasuke…" The man thought back to the silhouette of Sasuke that flashed past him befogging, capturing all his men in one full swoop .
"I swear, I'll have my revenge," The man said, following which the gaze of his eyes shifted towards his body that was in constant motion entirely focused on making a getaway .
…
"The tunnel ends here," The woman commented as she stared at a patch of grass at the foot of a hill at the edge of the town .
"Hinata," A voice called out towards the woman .
"How rude," One of the members of the two teams that stood behind Hinata commented upon hearing the voice .
Hinata frowned a bit as her gaze turned towards the source of the sound .
"Menma,"
"Wait!" Shikamaru called out from behind with a lack of breath from trying to hard to match Naruto's pace .
…
"He's coming!" Hinata warned her team .
"Team 1, Prepare!" The leader of Team 1 ordered .
"Yes," The members of team 1 shouted in return, activating their Byakugans and getting into a stance with one palm out .
The members of team 2 sighed, seeing that the enemy was already overwhelmingly outnumbered since the beginning .
…
Inside the tunnel, The bandit leader saw the exit of the tunnel up ahead .
"Time to disappear," The man said, following which he upped his speed .
"Hah!" The man shouted with confidence as he burst off the door .
< AIR PALM! >
Team 1 shouted together and slammed the bandit leader .
(Bang!)
The leader of the Phantom thieves had been knocked out senseless without a fight .
("That many air palms at once?") Naruto gulped hard, imagining the pain of the person who was at the receiving end of it .
"We'll be taking him with us, chief," A member from Team 2 walked over and informed Hinata .
"I'll leave it to you," Hinata said .
"Mm," The person nodded following which he turned towards his group .
"Let's go!" Following which both teams left, leaving Naruto, Shikamaru, and Hinata behind .
"Looks like you didn't need a hand," Naruto chuckled, seeing Hinata standing alone while also being reminded of his wife, the older version of Hinata, who had belonged to him back in the previous timeline .
Hinata looked at Naruto .
"Menma,"
"Even if we know each other, you are to address me as 'chief' when I'm on duty," Hinata commented in a monotonous tone .

"Oh…yeah…" Naruto was reminded of the cold reality of this world once again .
But he already knew that he couldn't blame anyone; after all, this was just a fake world he entered of his own violation .
"I see that you are back in the village,"
"Just a few days ago, I heard you became the new leader of the Akatsuki," Hinata said .
"Yeah…"
"Just got a few days off, so I'm here in the village," Naruto said .
"I see…"

"Is there anything you need help with?" Hinata asked .
"Anything…"
"…"
"None at all…" Naruto spoke slowly as he stared at her .
"I see…"
"Please excuse me,"
"I must head back to Police HQ," Hinata said, following which she walked away from Naruto .
"…" Naruto silently stared at Hinata, walking away . Though she paused, it was only to acknowledge Shikamaru's presence .
Shikamaru looked at Hinata .
"Chief," Shikamaru called .
"Yes?" Hinata looked at Shikamaru .
"I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find Sasuke," Shikamaru asked .
"Uchiha Sasuke is handling a matter for me right now,"
"Is there a message I can pass to him?" Hinata asked .
…
Shikamaru then passed the details of how he was arranging for a boys night out, to which Hinata agreed to give the message . A moment later, Hinata left, leaving Naruto and Shikamaru alone .
"Is anything wrong, Menma?" Shikamaru asked .
"…" Naruto silently stared at the void where Hinata stood previously, thinking about the past between the two .
"Menma?" Shikamaru called out .
"Ah,"
"It's nothing,"
"Let's go," Naruto said, following which the two left once again in the direction of the Kaminarimon Group building .

Hanato was busy typing on Denki's laptop .
"What's he doing?" Metal asked, trying to figure out what was going on through the laptop's display .
"Shh!!"
"You'll disturb him," Denki warned Metal .
"…" Metal stared quietly .
"It's done," Hanato stared at his work on Denki's laptop .
"Let me see…" Denki started reading over the data Hanato had provided .
"This could help stabilize our position for a while,"
"Gee…Thanks, Hanato," Denki smiled .
"Anytime," Hanato smiled .
"So when is it?" Denki asked .
"What?" Hanato asked .
"You know,"
"The party," Denki said .
"I haven't decided," Hanato said .
"I see…" Denki nodded dejectedly .
"Oy Hanato," A voice called out .
"…" Hanato looked up to see Raiju making his way over .
"You've got to try this slushie,"
"Its soo good," Raiju said, following which he handed over a cup .
"What flavor is it?" Hanato asked .
"Its called Citrus Blast," Raiju smiled .
"Hmm…" Hanato stared at the Yellow-colored drink in the cup .
"Trust me," Raiju said with a confident smile .
"Here goes nothing…" Hanato drank a sip .
"…"
"It's Sour!" Hanato commented in a low voice .
"BuHAhahahaha," Raiju laughed at the top of his voice, staring at Hanato's face that was alternating between red and blue from the after taste .
"That's our target…" A few meters away from the place where Hanato and the rest gathered, two men stared at the group .
"That boy will be the one to test the tool,"
