Arriving at the future Konoha, the initial plan was to find Otsutsuki Isshiki while also gathering some undiscovered treasures.
Now both goals are about to be achieved. The location where Otsutsuki Isshiki hides the Ten-tailed beast has been found by Uchiha Sasuke, and soon he will be able to explore it with his Kamui clone.
After Uchiha Yoichi instructed the Kamui clone to keep a close eye on the movements of the Konoha Ninjas, he went to the second floor to start alchemy.
"As a reward, I'll help you solve the problems in the Ninja World before going back..."
Uchiha Yoichi thought to himself, and then focused on the alchemy process.
With the Five Great Ninja Villages and the Shell Organization at war, there are bound to be many casualties, and his secret medicine will come in handy.
For the civilians and the ninjas unaware of the Shell Organization, Konoha still feels like a peaceful day, even a bit lively because of the sale of Orange smartphones. The demand was so high that the ninjas had to maintain order.
Due to the Orange phone's exquisite appearance and powerful features, even ninjas found it hard to resist; furthermore, Uchiha Yoichi had the 'Manufacturing Assistant' enhance its signal reception ability.
The Pioneer's signal transmission technology crosses space wormholes. Although there are few devices in the Ninja World, after redesigning and enhancing them, the signal transmission and reception of the Orange phones were improved dozens of times over.
So even ninjas cannot overlook the Orange phone, and after experiencing its powerful functions, all Five Great Ninja Villages placed orders with the Tenseigan Clone's company, using them for emergency communication between ninjas.
It wasn't until the sunset that the employees of Orange announced the next sale time, which slowly dispersed the crowd blocking the street.
After squeezing her way out of the crowd, Hyuga Hanabi let out a small sigh of relief while looking at the phone box cradled in her arms, but soon she smiled.
"After completing the mission, I rushed here to line up; I almost didn't get one... I should visit my sister today and add her number!"
After making up her mind, Hyuga Hanabi made her way towards the Uzumaki House.
Upon arriving and knocking on the door, Hyuga Hanabi picked up Uzumaki Himawari, who opened the door for her, with a cheerful smile, and then walked inside.
"Hanabi? How come you're here today..."
Hyuga Hinata asked as she came out of the kitchen upon seeing Hyuga Hanabi.
Hyuga Hanabi replied with a laugh, "I went to line up and bought a phone after completing a mission, and I thought I'd come see you. I remember you also have a phone. Why not add my number?"
"Then stay for dinner. How's father doing?"
As Hyuga Hanabi sat at the dining table, she continued, "No need to worry about dinner. There's someone at home taking care of him; and these days, his complexion has improved a lot, thanks to Himawari~"
Hearing this, Hyuga Hinata smiled. She knew her father loved Boruto and Himawari, longing to bond with his grandchildren; however, she didn't say much, returning to the kitchen to continue preparing the meal.
Shortly after, Hyuga Hinata prepared dinner for everyone and asked Himawari to go upstairs to call down Uzumaki Boruto.
"Aunt Hanabi, you're here... Hey, is that the Orange phone? You got one already?"
Seeing the phone in Hyuga Hanabi's hand, Uzumaki Boruto's eyes widened as he quickly ran over and said enviously, "So cool, I want an Orange phone too..."
If I had an Orange phone, I'd surely be the center of attention at school; however, Uzumaki Boruto quickly lowered his head, realizing he'd have to save up all his allowance for four or five years to afford one.
"You can get a phone once you become a ninja, Boruto!"
Hyuga Hanabi said with a smile, then looked around and asked, "Where's Mr. Naruto?"
"Don't mention that lousy dad; these days, if he comes home even once in four or five days, that's already impressive!"
After sitting down at the table, all Uzumaki Boruto could do was grumble, but Hyuga Hinata quickly replied, "Boruto, you shouldn't talk about your father like that..."
"Your mom's right, Boruto. All the ninjas in the village are busy these days. I was notified just after returning to the village that I need to go to the Hokage Building tomorrow. I might need to carry out a task soon…"
Hyuga Hanabi remarked, "The number of ninjas dispatched outside the village has increased severalfold recently, along with many joint tasks. Boruto, you should understand Mr. Naruto."
"Tch..."
Uzumaki Boruto clicked his tongue stubbornly but knew inside that he had been wrong, yet his long-standing complaints about his father made him reluctant to admit it.
But suddenly, Hyuga Hinata asked in surprise, "Huh? Hanabi, do you have a mission tomorrow?"
"Yes, although I don't know what the mission is yet, I've already been informed. Why, sister?"
A bit embarrassed, Hyuga Hinata replied, "Tomorrow is the drama shooting day. I told you last time about accompanying me..."
"Oh, that? I'm sorry, sister. Maybe next time; I'm really busy with tasks these days."
Hyuga Hanabi pressed her palms together in apology, looking genuinely sorry. She also wanted to experience drama shooting, but with so many tasks lately, even coming to buy the phone today was only possible because she finished a mission early.
"But..."
Hyuga Hinata looked troubled. She still wanted Hanabi's advice to avoid complications during tomorrow's tricky scene in the drama, fearing a repeat of last time.
However, knowing Hanabi's mission responsibilities, she couldn't object. After all, village duties come first.
Curious, Hyuga Hanabi asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
"Um… nothing,"
Hyuga Hinata forced a smile and shook her head, deciding not to trouble Hanabi. She figured seeking Hanabi's help might make Hanabi abandon the task to support her at the shoot, which would delay the village's mission.
The dinner was quite unpalatable, at least for Hyuga Hinata, although Hyuga Hanabi, Uzumaki Himawari, and Uzumaki Boruto shared laughter and chatter.

The Next Day
"Mom, I'm off to school, and I'll drop off Himawari at Grandpa's."
Standing at the front door, Uzumaki Boruto shouted inside before heading out with Uzumaki Himawari.
After a good while, Hyuga Hinata slowly emerged from the house, showing a mix of determination and uncontrollable redness, heading towards the drama filming site.
