Naruto's eyes widened in shock and alarm at the severe penalty...

Naruto infiltrated the Stone Village enemy hideout

NINE-TAILS' CHAKRA SUPPLEMENTING HIS OWN, courtesy of their recent bond

He moved stealthily through shadows, avoiding guards

HIS MISSION OBJECTIVE NEAR: Hinata Hyuga's cell location revealed by System intel.

Naruto reached Hinata's cell finding her gagged and bound

HE QUICKLY FREED HER removing gags and seals with Nine-Tails enhanced strength.

As Hinata stood, moonlight streaming through the window illuminated her face

SHE SAW NARUTO FOR THE FIRST TIME – eyes widening in surprise...

Then softening into a gentle blush.

Naruto's heart skipped a beat, unaware of the effect he had

HE GRABBED HER HAND, WHISPERING: "We must escape now!"

They moved swiftly through shadows ,Naruto leading Hinata back to Hidden Leaf borders

ONCE SAFE, NARUTO STOPPED AT THE HYUGA CLAN ESTATE EDGE

HE TURNED TO HINATA, SERIOUS TONE:

"Hinata, promise me – tell no one I saved you.

My... reputation in the village isn't exactly good."

Hinata nodded softly, still blushing ,"I promise, Naruto... thank you."

Naruto smiled slightly and feeling unexpected happiness

HE WATCHED HER SLIP BACK INTO HER ESTATE before turning away into night shadows.

[ SYSTEM TASK UPDATE:

◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

"Operation Hyuga Rescue SUCCESSFUL. Rewards processing...

SYSTEM TASK REWARD REVEALED... ]

Naruto returned to his apartment – System notification blinking on his mental screen

[ SYSTEM VOICE:

ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

"Rewards for 'Operation Hyuga Rescue' completion: ACCESS GRANTED*" ]

A holographic image materialized before him

NARUTO'S EYES WIDENED:

A pair of eyes appeared and familiar yet astonishing

[ THE BYAKUGAN – HYUGA CLAN'S LEGENDARY DOJUTSU (EYE TECHNIQUE)! ]

Naruto's shock turned to excitement – he reached out to touch the hologram –

But noticed something odd – a red seal overlaid the Byakugan image –

"LOCKED" emblazoned in bold letters

Naruto's excitement faltered and he turned to System

NARUTO ASKED: "System, what's with the 'Locked' seal? I completed the mission!"

System responded calmly

[ SYSTEM VOICE: (˘ ˘ ˘)

"The Byakugan reward requires... further synchronization. Details classified." ]

Naruto was speechless 😶

Naruto scowled ,unsatisfied with the vague answer

HE SIGHED HEAVILY: "Figures... always secrets with you, System..."

Shaking his head, Naruto walked away from the hologram

HEADED HOMEWARD, LOST IN THOUGHT:

"What does 'further synchronization' even mean...?"

The apartment door closed behind him ,Byakugan hologram still glowing, locked
