On the same night, Naruto ventured into the hunting world after returning to his parent's home. Unlike before, he now slept in the room that was originally designated for him. Given that the room no longer suited a teenager, a few changes were needed, particularly with the bed and the wardrobe.

"Happy birthday, Naruto," Hinata declared enthusiastically, as she hugged him. Naruto returned the embrace and, as they pulled away, let out a light laugh.

After several visits to the hunting dimension, the two had become quite close. It had been a little over a month since they began meeting, considering the time elapsed in the hunting dimension.

However, Naruto noticed something strange in Hinata's behavior. Although she seemed genuinely happy for him, there was something that seemed to bother her.

After two days of hunting, Hinata returned to normal, so he put that matter aside. After all, she didn't seem willing to talk about it and he certainly wouldn't press her to do so.

Ever since Naruto took on the role of Hokage, despite Hinata feeling proud of him, she also began to feel lonely. She felt particularly anguished for their children, especially considering that on Naruto's own birthday, he stayed at the office and did not come home. So, it was understandable that she appeared somewhat annoyed.

At first, Naruto even made an effort to be more present, however, over time, the frequency with which he was at home decreased considerably. This change was starting to bother Hinata more and more. Although she tried to understand his situation, being responsible for managing the whole village and all, his absence still affected her.

Was it really necessary to help an elderly woman cross the street or take on random tasks every day to the point of being so exhausted that there was hardly any time left for the family?

It's not that she considered it wrong to help others, but it seemed like he was acting in a way that begged for the love of others while neglecting his own family.

These thoughts led her to recall a conversation with her sister, Hanabi.

'Just imagine, Sis: a stranger, a mere acquaintance, comes into your house with dirty shoes. Do you reprimand him? No? And if it's Boruto doing that, do you reprimand him? Yes? Why? Aren't you being more careful with a stranger than with your own family?', were Hanabi's words that came back to Hinata's mind.

At the time, Hinata had a vague understanding of what Hanabi meant, but she didn't think things were exactly like that. But now, she understood better. Naruto was behaving in a similar way. He was more focused on earning the adoration of strangers, neglecting his own family in the process.

Hinata decided that she needed to at least try to talk to him about this. If not for her, then for their children. Things couldn't continue like this. She had made countless sacrifices for their family to function, even abandoning her career as a ninja to take care of the children at home. Couldn't Naruto make some sacrifices for the family too?

Hinata wasn't asking for much, she just wished that he was more present on important dates. Like, for example, on Boruto's or Himawari's birthdays. It would be a lie if she said that she didn't care if he didn't celebrate her birthday, but if he at least showed up on the children's birthdays, she would already be satisfied.

She was pulled from her thoughts when Naruto finished attracting the attention of several beasts, totaling more than 200, and then, thunderclouds appeared in the sky, creating a hard-to-forget scenario.

BOOM!

The deafening sound, as if the sky was tearing apart with powerful lightning illuminating the entire scene, made Hinata's heart race.

Naruto's power was something she had never experienced, not even when she had seen Madara use all his power, not even Kaguya managed to make as strong an impression on her as Naruto, who was right near her.

The power he demonstrated in recent days was something she couldn't help but admire.

⊱⋅───⊱◈◈◈⊰───⋅⊰

Naruto, after spending nine days in the hunting dimension with Hinata, began planning his next moves.

'I should at least find Kaguya's home planet,' he pondered.

This idea began to form in his mind recently. If he could locate the Ōtsutsuki Clan before they arrived, many problems could be avoided. However, he frowned at the same time, as he had the feeling that things weren't that simple. In theory, they would already be traveling through space toward his planet.

'No matter, anyway, I want to see what the universe out there is like,' Naruto murmured in his mind.

Maybe that was the real motivation. To say that he wasn't worried about the Ōtsutsuki Clan would be a lie, but it was just a slight irritation, it didn't reach the point of fearing their arrival. The power that the hunting dimension granted him, gave him this level of confidence.

Currently, he possessed an absurd amount of orbs, which gave him a nearly unlimited stock of energy. Even if he fought non-stop for a month, he would still have enough energy to continue the battle.

After reflecting, the first thing he did was teleport to the training area, where he took a special kunai and threw it toward the moon.

Of course, Naruto avoided Toneri Ōtsutsuki's palace. Although he intended to confront him at some point, for now, he left this matter aside. But he would not be as indulgent as the conclusion that occurred in the original Naruto series. What Toneri Ōtsutsuki had done was simply regrettable.

When the kunai hit the moon, a shadow clone of Naruto teleported there.

Under the moon's low gravity, Naruto's shadow clone used his eyes to scrutinize the distance and visualize the next planet where he would throw the kunai with all his strength.

With the distance being much greater than that separating the Earth and the Moon, the clone formed a light arc, creating a chakra arrow and positioning the kunai at its tip. He pulled the arc string to the maximum, then released it.

The ground under his feet sank. The pressure of the shot created a crater. The force of this act imprinted a perfectly circular depression in the lunar soil, as if a gigantic fist had descended from the sky and marked its presence there. The landscape around was shaken violently, causing a dust storm and fragments of rocks to be launched into the air, creating an almost surreal image amidst the deserted lunar scenario.

The light arc, shining intensely, tore through the moon's night sky, leaving a trail of brightness that cut through the darkness. With a deafening bang, the kunai was launched with tremendous force, ripping through space like an accelerated shooting star, its speed almost impossible to be captured by the human eye.

The shockwave resulting from the shot caused the arc to recoil violently, causing a tremor that spread across the lunar soil. The energy released from the chakra arrow ricocheted, creating a pressure wave that emanated in all directions, deforming the terrain around and causing more fissures to spread like spider webs across the moon's surface.

This display of power, capable of drastically changing the lunar landscape, served as a testament to the awe-inspiring potential Naruto possessed, the force of his shot being a physical representation of his current strength.
