After reading the pop-up, Naruto's heart pounded a few times.

One was the Dark Gold quality Apperceiving God's Rune of Wisdom, the other was the Gold quality Green Moon Altar, and there was also a richly rewarded hidden quest.

"The reward for the Dragon Slaying Quest was only a Legendary-grade equipment, but I didn't expect to get a Legendary-grade item and a Quasi-God-grade item this time."

Naruto held the Rune of Wisdom fragment, many thoughts flashing through his mind.

He remembered that the goblin's crown movie of Goblin Slayer seemed to take place in the Great Snow Mountain, where they encountered the Goblin Paladin who was "divinely inspired" by the god of awareness, as well as the evil church that worshipped the god of awareness.

And the goblin's crown was a new dungeon.

This meant that the hidden quest, Green Moon Mystery, would most likely start from the Great Snow Mountain!

"It seems I really have to go to the Great Snow Mountain."

While Naruto was contemplating, he sorted out the quests he hadn't completed yet.

These included Dragon Slaying, Famous Throughout the Capital, and Green Moon Mystery.

If he went to the Great Snow Mountain, there would also be a dungeon quest related to the goblin's crown.

Dragon Slaying couldn't be rushed; he had to complete the Famous Throughout the Capital quest first, which was a "prerequisite" and required slowly advancing in the Adventurers' Guild to become a Gold-Grade Adventurer.

So Naruto decided to go to the Great Snow Mountain first to complete the dungeon quest and hidden quest!

Naruto lowered his head and looked at the Apperceiving God's Rune of Wisdom fragment again.

"No wonder this troll spoke human language so fluently; it was because of the Rune of Wisdom fragment."

Without another word, Naruto directly equipped the Rune of Wisdom fragment.

From now on, when he encountered other races speaking, he would be able to understand them and even communicate without hindrance.

As for human languages, even in different Underground Cities and different worlds, they were probably assumed to be the same.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a stone pillar of the giant cylindrical tower collapsed with a bang, attracting the attention of Naruto and the three girls.

"No, this ancient ruins fortress is about to collapse, let's go!"

Naruto didn't hesitate and quickly led the three girls away.

After escaping the ancient ruins fortress, before they could catch their breath, the magnificent and ancient building behind them finally collapsed with a "rumbling" sound, turning into ruins and becoming dust in history.

"That was close, we almost got buried alive."

The Witch's voice was still lazy and alluring, but her lingering fear could be heard.

"Phew~ To be able to come out alive is already a blessing from the gods," the Sword Saintess said with lingering fear.

Naruto said "Oh" and asked, "So it's all thanks to the supreme god?"

"Of course not! If it weren't for Naruto, we would probably have died at the hands of the trolls long ago," the Sword Saintess puffed out her rosy cheeks, looking very cute.

The Elf Archer put down her clan member in her arms and saw that all the other elves rescued by Naruto's Shadow Clone were also there, safe and sound. She said with immense gratitude, "Goblin Slayer, I represent the elven race in thanking you."

"From now on, when you go to the Elf Forest, you will be our most honored guest!"

"Haha, no need to be polite."

"This is not a place to stay for long. Let's quickly withdraw and return to the nearest human Border Town first."

After all, they had just taken down a Demon God General's fortress.

If they stayed too long, perhaps a powerful existence, one of the sixteen Demon God Generals, would come looking for them.

Without knowing the strength of the Demon God General, it was better to retreat first.

Although Naruto was not old, he had clearly become the backbone of this adventuring party. The Sword Saintess, the Witch, and the Elf Archer naturally followed his words.

The journey back to the Border Town took several days.

During this time.

Naruto left a Shadow Clone because his main body had to exit the Underground City and return to the Fire Shadow World to participate in the upcoming Ninja Academy graduation exam.

...

...

Konoha Village, Hyuga Clan grounds.

Main family residence.

Hyuga Hiashi, as usual, sat kneeling in the tea room, playing Go, with his favorite vegetable tempura on the tatami beside him.

However, today he was not alone; there were a few old men in the tea room, with Byakugan eyes and wearing simple kimonos, their foreheads free of the ugly Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark.

Main family elders!

"Hiashi, I heard that Hinata has made great progress recently. It's time for you to make a decision, isn't it?"

"That's right. As the head of the main family, you must set an example. According to the clan rules, members of the branch family must have the 'Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark' carved on their foreheads when the main family's eldest son turns three. You've been delaying for so long, using Hanabi's youth and Hinata's weakness as excuses for not being able to bear the responsibility of the main family."

"If this continues, other branch families will probably have complaints."

"The Land of Fire has its laws, and the clan has its rules. Without rules, how could the Hyuga Clan stand in the Ninja World for so many years without falling!"

The main family elders spoke one after another, continuously pressuring Hyuga Hiashi.

However, after so many years, Hyuga Hiashi had grown accustomed to the high pressure he endured as the head of the family.

Hyuga Hiashi didn't rush to answer. He took the tea brewed by the branch family woman next to him and took a shallow sip.

"Dong~"

The "Shishi-odoshi" in the dry garden sounded.

After the upper part of the bamboo tube filled with water, it naturally tilted down to empty the water, then tilted back up to its original balance, its tail striking the stone, emitting a crisp sound.

Hyuga Hiashi put down his teacup, his face stern and unsmiling, and replied, "Elders, do you think what maintains the relationship between the main family and the branch family is the 'Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark'?"

"Of course."

"With the Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark, the branch family will wholeheartedly protect the main family."

The main family elders showed no hesitation, answering definitively, as if the idea of the "Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark" was deeply ingrained.

Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi was inevitably a little disappointed, but it was also within his expectations.

"I believe what maintains the main family and the branch family is not the 'Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark', but blood kinship."

"Even without the Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark's restraint, my younger brother Hizashi would stand up for me and for the main family."

The main family elders' expressions were clearly displeased.

"Hiashi, what do you mean?"

"Are you still trying to evade putting the Hyuga Branch Family Curse Mark on Hanabi?"

"Hehehe, Hiashi, we know your love for your daughters, but do not fantasize about shaking the Hyuga Clan's long-standing clan laws and rules."

"Hiashi, remember, you are the current head of the family, but that doesn't mean the next head cannot be chosen from another main family lineage."

The main family elders continued to put pressure on Hyuga Hiashi.
