"Let's move, everyone!"
Uzumaki Naruto said to the people in front of him. Everyone participating in this operation looked incomparably serious; they all knew what enemy they were about to face.
The Ten-tailed!
The monster from the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Although only one hundred and eighty people were participating, for Uchiha Sasuke this was the ideal number. Opening a Space-Time Passage also consumed Chakra; if there were too many people, he would have no Chakra left after arriving, and would need a lot of time to recover.
Raikage Darui said, "This time it's about the safety of the entire Ninja World. We all know what enemy we're facing. Let's go!"
Among the Five Great Ninja Villages, Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Ninja, and the Hidden Rock Ninja had sent the most Ninja. All the participants in this mission were Jonin, with another twenty Medical and Barrier Ninja.
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Sasuke."
"I know!"
After Uchiha Sasuke finished speaking, his left eye turned into the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. After gathering Chakra, he opened a Space-Time Passage in the space before them.
"Go in. On the other side is where the Otsutsuki are cultivating the Ten-tailed. Naruto, the Five Kage and I will go first!"
"Got it!"
With that, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were the first to leap into the Space-Time Passage. After the two of them, the other Ninja, led by the other four Kage, followed one after another into the Space-Time Passage.
In the distance, the Kamui Clone clearly saw that Space-Time Passage, and used the Kamui Dojutsu to open his own, successfully following along Sasuke's Space-Time Passage and locating Otsutsuki Jigen's Different Space-Time.
"That far... But at least I found it. Next is to snatch the Ten-tailed."
Uchiha Yoichi showed a satisfied smile on his face, but then thought that relying on the Kamui Clone alone might not be enough; after all, Uchiha Sasuke could also open a Space-Time Passage. Even if he managed to steal it, he might not be able to retreat.
He still had to bring the Tenseigan Clone along. With these two clones, it would be pretty much foolproof.
After recording the coordinates of the other Space-Time location, the Kamui Clone went to find the Tenseigan Clone and brought it along as well; but before bringing the Tenseigan Clone, he needed to alter his appearance.
"Time to go shoot the drama..."
Uchiha Yoichi checked the time, straightened his clothes, and then headed outside.
——————————
When he arrived at the filming location, Uchiha Yoichi wasn't the last to show up. It wasn't until they were about to start shooting that Hyuga Hinata finally showed up late.
"...Sorry, Director, something came up at home today, so I'm late..."
When Hyuga Hinata arrived, she apologized to Director Wada. Today both Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hanabi had left on a mission, so that had delayed her.
"It's fine. Hurry and get ready, we're about to start shooting."
Director Wada waved his hand as he spoke, then began directing everyone. The set was quickly arranged.
The normal scenes were shot very smoothly. This wasn't difficult at all for Uchiha Yoichi and Hyuga Hinata; after all, both of them were already experienced.
And this kind of "explosive popularity" was all a heavily watered-down illusion, just that the fake performance was so convincing it fooled everyone.
By the time the normal shooting wrapped, it was already around three or four in the afternoon, and the crew had moved into the final filming room.
When Hyuga Hinata saw this place, her face couldn't help but flush a rosy red. It was here last time that she and Uchiha Yoichi had done it... and now they were going to shoot here again...
Her snow-white fingers kept rubbing together nervously. Even though no one was near her at the moment, the blush on Hyuga Hinata's face grew deeper and deeper, and she couldn't help but recall what had happened last time.
Very soon, the set for this scene was ready. As usual, Director Wada cleared everyone out, then came over to Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Yoichi and said to them, "Then I'll be counting on you two for this part. This time we're using a new type of camera; it shouldn't break again. If you need anything, just call me anytime, Ms. Hinata, Mr. Yoichi."
"Y-Yes, I understand."
Hyuga Hinata sighed inwardly. The method of "accidentally" breaking the camera they'd used last time couldn't be used again—if they did that again, it would definitely make others suspicious.
After Director Wada and the others all left, only Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Yoichi were left in the room.
Uchiha Yoichi didn't go talk to Hyuga Hinata right away; instead he went to adjust the camera. Only after everything was ready did he walk up to her and ask, "Shall we start, Lady Hinata..."
"We'll... we'll shoot... but Mr. Yoichi, what happened last time, I absolutely won't allow it again!"
Hyuga Hinata said firmly to Uchiha Yoichi. He merely shrugged and replied, "Don't worry, Lady Hinata, I respect you. I definitely won't go in this time... But we still need the necessary physical contact—you've read the script too, right? Otherwise we can't film at all."
"I understand... As long as, as long as you don't go in, the other stuff for the shoot... is okay."
Hyuga Hinata lowered her head, speaking in a small, shy voice, her face burning. To her, even those scenes were already way over the line, but there was nothing she could do. She had already accepted the drama's offer, and there were so many fans; she naturally had to finish filming it properly.
"I-I'm ready, Mr. Yoichi..."
Hyuga Hinata said bashfully. Because of her makeup, the flush on her face looked even more alluring. The mature charm of a married woman and the purity of a young girl were perfectly combined in Hyuga Hinata.
After Uchiha Yoichi finished adjusting the camera, he came to Hyuga Hinata's side and murmured softly, "Ten seconds from now, Lady Hinata..."
"Mm..."
Lady Hinata answered softly, face burning red.
Ten seconds later, Uchiha Yoichi stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Hyuga Hinata. "My lady, I like you. There's no need for us to suppress these feelings..."
Hyuga Hinata said with 'panic' on her face, "But..."
"No buts, my lady. Let me feel your feelings..."
As soon as Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, he kissed Hyuga Hinata's lips, then slowly savored this delicious taste that seemed to carry a fragrance.
"We can't..."
The sound of resistance echoed in the room. At first Hyuga Hinata still remembered to say her lines, but under Uchiha Yoichi's fervent advance, her mind quickly turned hazy.
She even seemed to ignore it when Uchiha Yoichi's hand slipped under her clothes. With her brain short on oxygen, her reactions grew sluggish.
'Even without going in, today I can still let you feel something different, Lady Hinata...'
After more than ten minutes, Uchiha Yoichi sensed that Lady Hinata's consciousness was already a bit blurry. If he went in for a deeper taste now, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist.
But afterward, Hyuga Hinata would probably be even angrier, so there was no need for that.
