Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

Just as Sora lost count of how many times he had fallen into the river because he was practicing treading water with Hanaya, and was pulled out of the water by Hanaya and Paimon again and again, on the other side...

(Mingyun Town)

Looking at the girl's appearance, Menma froze in place. At the same time, after walking a few steps forward and seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Hashirama was also froze -

The delicate face, the long, smooth hair with a hint of blue in the ink, the Konoha forehead guard that was worn around the neck like a scarf, and the gray-purple jacket, these were the most familiar images of the person in the two people's impressions. However, the opaque fishnet bra that was completely exposed because the zipper of the jacket was not zipped up at all, and the shorts full of explosiveness in the lower body instead of the knee-length pants with bandages on the right side, indicated that this person was not exactly what the two people thought.

But no matter what, even with this change, it did not prevent the two from knowing this person... or, in other words, knowing the name of her current appearance:

"Hinata?!" x2

That's right, the image of the girl in front of you is exactly from Hyuga Hinata in Naruto. However, she is different from the original Hinata. The real Hinata is a very shy girl and would never dress in such a hot way.

unless……

[The moment I saw her, I suddenly understood something.] While Hashirama was still in shock that the girl in front of him was actually Hyuga Hinata, Menma's sudden words woke him up.

[What...what's going on?]

[From our previous experiences, you can also find out the source of our power.] Menma said, [Whether it was your Hashirama at the beginning, or Obito, Madara, and Tobirama later, they were all dead people in the ninja world. And from their confessions, I can also know that they were pulled into that space by an unknown existence and all their power and a trace of consciousness were extracted, forming those balls of light, waiting for those who come later to pick them up.]

[Yes...yeah, what's wrong?]

[Then why am I Menma Uzumaki? You know, even at the end of Road to Ninja, Menma was only awakened by Naruto and returned to Minato and Kushina, but he didn't die. And the same is true for Hinata in front of me.]

[That's true... Then what conclusion did you draw? You know I'm not good at thinking about these things. I can't understand you if you say something too profound.]

[Your brain is useless...] After mercilessly complaining about Hashirama, Menma continued to explain, [Although Limited Tsukuyomi is just a test product of Infinite Tsukuyomi and is also a large-scale illusion, since it can create such a large world that can give people a real sense, then...

Is there a possibility that this is a kind of creation? Even if it is just a small castrated version, even if it is just some "programs" generated according to reality and inputting data, even if... it cannot exist for a long time. ]

[No way... can an illusion create the world? Even the Infinite Tsukuyomi can't be that amazing, right?]

[Before judging a technique, it is best to thoroughly study its essence before expressing an opinion.] Menma shrugged his shoulders and did not agree. [You know the essence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. It is just a "beautiful dream" given to everyone as a reward while capturing and converting them. However, the Limited Tsukuyomi is different.

You know, in "The Road to Ninja", after Naruto and Sakura entered the limited Tsukuyomi world, Sakura in that world also came to the real world until they returned to reality. You think this can be done with just an illusion to suck two living people in and throw out the counterparts inside? ]

[Uh…] Hashirama was speechless. He had never thought about this before, but now that Menma had said this, he thought about it again… Eh? It seemed to be true.

Although the people in the limited Tsukuyomi world are just modified copies of those in the real world, it is undeniable that they are definitely not like the people simulated in the so-called illusion. Otherwise, how to explain Uzumaki Menma's Rasengan series of ninjutsu and Nine-faced Subaha, the limited Tsukuyomi Sakura who ran to the real world, and the entire world that was created by Obito but cannot be controlled by Obito?

[If I am right, Limited Tsukuyomi is a whole new world, which is the biggest difference between it and Infinite Tsukuyomi.] Menma was still talking about his conclusion, [even if its lifespan is extremely short, even if it disappears soon.

However, the people who existed in that world would not disappear casually. After the world collapsed, they had nowhere to live and were also judged as "dead". Everyone has a soul. Although the body is simulated and the memory is fictitious, all of this is recorded in the soul and then they all come to the Pure Land. When the mysterious existence took power and consciousness from the Pure Land, it did not let these people go.

And all of this is the reason why I can stand here now, and why she can lie here. ]

[This…this…]

Although he understood a little bit, the huge amount of information contained in Menma's words still made Hashirama's brain freeze again and again. He even forgot about Hinata in front of him and focused on repairing his brain that was about to be scrapped due to overload.

……

Behind the two of them, Zhongli quietly watched them whispering to each other without saying anything.

Although he couldn't hear a word of the two's communication due to the protection of chakra, and even if he wanted to interpret their words by looking at their mouth shapes, the relevant memory would be blurred in the next second, but he knew that they did this for his own good. What if he heard something he shouldn't have heard, and the World Tree determined that it was taboo knowledge, then wouldn't he be doomed?

But there must be a limit to whispering. Seeing that the two were about to continue talking, he couldn't help but pretend to cough twice and reminded them: "Excuse me, you two, she is about to wake up."

Menma immediately stopped his long speech, poked Hashirama's forehead with two fingers together, and after successfully forcing him to restart his computer, he motioned for him to look at Hinata's position.

Just as Zhongli said, the girl who was lying motionless on her back beside the puddle suddenly moved her eyelids, and then she uttered a slightly irritated hum. Then, she slowly raised her right arm and covered her face:

"%#&~..."

No one could hear clearly what she said, including Menma and Hashirama who were standing in front of her. However, with many years of experience in their previous lives, they could tell at a glance that this was definitely the look of "waking up but still wanting to stay in bed".

The reason is simple; the two of them have always been like this before.

The two were speechless for a while. But just when Menma was about to yell "How can you sleep at your age?", perhaps because Hinata's arm had been soaked in water, the arm she was holding on her face was covered with water stains, and the slippery and cold touch immediately dispelled Hinata's sleepiness, causing her to take her arm away and open her eyes.

A pair of crystal clear pure white eyes, shining brightly under the sunlight. Although I don't know if this word is appropriate for a girl like her...

Seeing Hinata wake up, Menma swallowed back the words he was about to say. But just when he was about to change the subject and ask about Hinata's current condition, she spoke first -

"Oh my god, what's going on..." The words full of greasy flavor came out from the pair of delicate lips, which immediately brought an extremely strong sense of disharmony to the two of them. The atmosphere originally created by Hinata's bubbling beauty was instantly ruined by her own, "What's wrong with me..."

Fortunately, through her words, Menma and Hashirama were able to completely confirm one thing: the other party was indeed from Blue Planet as well, and could barely be considered their "fellow countryman."

"Um..." Hashirama raised his hand and said softly, "Do you feel... okay?"

"Huh?" Someone spoke to her right after she woke up, which immediately attracted Hinata's attention. Her eyes immediately turned to Hashirama, "You are... eh eh eh?!"

"No...are you okay?" Seeing Hinata suddenly look surprised, Hashirama became even more confused.

"You...you are...Senju Hashirama?" Unexpectedly, Hinata called out Hashirama's name the next second, "This...could this be...Konoha?"

"No...that's not it..." Hashirama waved his hands quickly, but he didn't know how to explain it next.

Meanwhile, Menma once again fell into deep thought:

[He called out Hashirama's name directly, and was also able to name the place Konoha. It seems that this fellow villager who became Hinata was also a villager in his previous life, or someone who had watched the Naruto anime. ]

At this time, Hinata shifted her gaze to Menma and was stunned again: "No... No way, why is even the version abandoned here?"

[It's confirmed, this girl is definitely from the village.] Hearing this, Menma's face darkened, but he still came to a conclusion in his heart.

After all, whether the other party called him "Menma", "Mysterious Masked Man", or even "Black Naruto", it would not reveal too much. But the title of "Version Abandoned Child" could only be said by the villagers.

Don't you think so? The villagers don't know how to play Menma?

[Big sister, could you please stop being so outspoken?] Menma took off his mask and used chakra to transmit the words, while staring at Hinata's face expressionlessly.

"You..." Hinata seemed to want to say something, but at this moment Menma's right eye suddenly flashed red, and then Hinata immediately froze in place without moving.

“Since you have important matters to discuss, I will leave first.” Seeing that they clearly needed some private space to exchange information, Zhongli immediately said goodbye to them. “If you need me in the future, please come to the Hall of Rebirth in Liyue Harbor to find me.”

"Well, no problem. Thank you very much for your company along the way, Emperor." Menma nodded and said.

Afterwards, he and Hashirama watched Zhongli turn around and leave. Poor Zhongli didn't know at the moment that when the bill of Wangshu Inn was sent back to Wangsheng Hall, what kind of torrential output would be waiting for him was what kind of torrential output from Walnut.

……

"That person just now... was Zhongli?"

Just after Zhongli's figure completely disappeared from Mingyun Town, Hinata finally came to her senses and said while looking in the direction where Zhongli left.

"You actually know him?" Menma turned his head and asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Hinata looked a little indignant. "If it wasn't for the fact that I got 77 out of 80 when I drew from his card pool, and this was the tenth out of 80 limited pool draws, how could I have been so angry that I had a heart attack and died of anger?!"

"Uh..." Hearing about this kind of death, Menma was speechless. Although there were people who died of anger due to heart disease, and this kind of death was also very common when reading time travel or rebirth novels in his previous life, second only to luck or being electrocuted by a leaky mobile phone or computer, but when he really heard that someone died due to this reason, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
