Naruto Law of the Devil

"Sign a Summoning Contract?!"

Hearing Yu's suggestion, Hinata was taken aback. Although the crab's appearance did not quite match her aesthetic, there was no denying its formidable power.

"No, let Haku and Kimimaro sign the Summoning Contract instead…"

After hesitating for a moment, Hinata shook her head. "With their strength, they should be able to use it better than I can…"

"Alright…"

Seeing Hinata's refusal, Yu didn't press the issue further. He understood that changing Hinata's unconfident and gentle nature wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.

"So, giant crab…"

Thinking of this, Yu turned to the massive crab sealed with Thread Bind and asked, "Do you agree to sign a Summoning Contract with Haku?"

"Click, click, click…"

Although this giant crab had been residing in the uninhabited, mysterious cave for a long time, it was a sentient Summon Beast capable of understanding human speech. After being impressed by Yu's display of strength, the crab decisively clamped its one movable pair of giant pincers when it heard Yu's question.

"Very good…"

Seeing that the giant crab was so cooperative, Yu nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand to dispel the black lines binding it, and took out a scroll from Kaio's alternate space. He then had Haku and the crab sign the Summoning Contract.

"So your name is Umimaru!"

After signing the Summoning Contract with the giant crab, Haku immediately learned its name and showed a smile. He had finally obtained his first Summon Beast.

Seeing Haku's delighted expression, Kimimaro also showed a hint of envy and longing on his face.

"After all, he's still just a kid…"

Seeing Haku's joyful expression after obtaining a Summon Beast, Yu couldn't help but smile and lightly shook his head.

After successfully helping Haku sign the Summoning Contract with Umimaru, Yu's gaze wandered around the surrounding environment.

Although the cave was similar to the previous one, with quartz-like stones scattered everywhere, this cave had a skylight-like opening at the top.

What was surprising was that through the opening, they could see a sun, positioned at a subtle angle with the cave entrance, resembling a human eye.

"Let's go up!"

Retracting his gaze, Yu stepped on invisible, transparent threads and flew up, taking Hinata with him. Haku and Kimimaro quickly followed, climbing up the walls.

Finally, emerging from the cave onto the cliff outside, it felt as if they had entered an entirely new world. Hinata, Haku, and Kimimaro looked around in disbelief.

Before them, a vast, endless blue ocean stretched out, and on the horizon, a continent floated in the distance. Even more astonishing, another continent was floating in the sky above.

"How is it possible? How could there be a sun inside the cave…"

Staring at the somewhat glaring sun above, Haku could hardly believe his eyes.

"And that landmass, it's actually floating in the sky…"

Even the usually stoic Kimimaro couldn't help but murmur at the extraordinary sight before them.

"This should be an artificial sun created by some Ninjutsu…"

"And that floating island in the sky is probably a mirage caused by the refraction of the ocean surface, corresponding to the continent across from it…"

Although Yu had been mentally prepared, seeing this magical landscape with his own eyes still left him deeply impressed.

However, as they entered this wondrous world, they had unknowingly attracted the attention of a mysterious presence.

…

Meanwhile, in a grand palace on the moon.

"Interesting…"

"It seems that someone has intruded into the territory we once had on Earth…"

Seemingly sensing something through the power of the Tenseigan, a middle-aged man with silver-white hair suddenly opened his eyes in the palace.

"They're probably just insignificant little pests…"

But soon, the middle-aged man gently rested his hand back on the armrest of his luxurious chair. "In any case, there's nothing of value left there. Send out the Puppet squad to kill them all and bury them there forever…"

"The world created by the Six Paths Sage was a failure…"

"The last attempt to welcome the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan princess and seize the Byakugan was ruined by that guy named Yakushi Yu…"

"This time, when Toneri awakens the Tenseigan, it will be the day we destroy Earth and create a brand new world…"

His pure white eyes showed no sign of emotion. The man's voice echoed coldly in the chilling palace.

Outside this magnificent palace, countless floating islands drifted through the air. On one of these islands, which featured a colossal statue seated upon it, a grand Tenseigan was enshrined in a temple, its boundless and mysterious radiance flowing continuously.

…

After about ten minutes, Yu, along with Hinata, Haku, and Kimimaro, crossed the entire ocean and arrived in a vast forest.

"This place is so huge…"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a large forest and ocean could exist inside the cave…"

The four of them moved through the forest, and Haku couldn't help but exclaim.

"If I'm not mistaken…"

"This should be the territory where the ancient Otsutsuki Clan lived…"

As Yu explained to Haku, his Observation Haki had already sensed a village not far ahead.

"Otsutsuki Clan?!"

Hinata, who was following Yu, instinctively widened her Byakugan. It was clear that her encounter with Otsutsuki Torifu and Otsutsuki Toneri, who had tried to abduct her and Hanabi from the Hyuga Clan, had left a deep impression on her.

"Hmm…"

"The Otsutsuki Clan, which existed before the Warring States period, is the family of Six Paths Sage Hagoromo Otsutsuki…"

Seeing Hinata's reaction, Yu began to explain. Due to being a traveler, he actually knew more about these hidden facts than Hinata, who is a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura.

"The Six Paths Sage's family?!"

Hearing this, Haku and Kimimaro's eyes widened in shock. The Six Paths Sage had always been a myth in the Ninja world, and they hadn't expected that the legendary figure was real.

"Strictly speaking, Hinata, Kimimaro…"

"Actually, both of you are also descendants of the Otsutsuki Clan…"

Seeing the astonished expressions on the three of them, Yu couldn't help but chuckle as he revealed this fact.

"Us?!"

Hinata and Kimimaro were both visibly shocked by the revelation.

"You'll understand in time…"

Yu, however, did not intend to elaborate further. He led them onward for another ten minutes until they finally arrived at a towering mountain. An ancient village was constructed on top of the mountain before them.

"This really is a village where Ninjas lived…"

As they entered the ancient village, Haku picked up a worn Kunai from the ground, which looked like it had been there for a long time.

"Brother Yu, this whole village doesn't have a single person around…"

Hinata, walking beside Yu, used her Byakugan to scan the area but found no one.

"Let's keep going and see if we can find anything…"

With buildings on both sides of the street in a dusty yellow color, Yu led the group along the street.

The village was larger than they had imagined, filled with dilapidated ruins—some destroyed by warfare, others ravaged by fires.

"Yu-sama! Come look over here!!"

At this moment, Kimimaro, who had been walking ahead, seemed to have discovered something.

Yu, Hinata, and Haku quickly went over to see what Kimimaro had found. It appeared to be a shrine or temple. Kimimaro was pointing at a statue several people high, dressed in a cassock. The statue looked ancient and worn by time, and even Yu couldn't discern if it was a statue of Hagoromo or Hamura.
