Konoha: Starting by giving Hinata the Tenseigan!

At the Hyūga residence, a sudden scream shattered the early morning tranquility.

"Look! There's a huge black sphere above the young lady's bedroom!"

"Oh NO! It's not good! Lady Hinata is nowhere to be found! Someone hurry and notify the clan head!"

"You idiot! Ever since the young lady was almost abducted by those Kumogakure ninjas, guards have been stationed everywhere. How could anyone have taken the young lady away without a sound?"

The Hyūga Clan's shinobi turned the area upside-down but still couldn't find Hyūga Hinata.

"Hey, do you think the young lady might be trapped inside that big black sphere?"

"That thing seems to be floating higher and higher. Should we blast it open to check?"

"Idiot! What if she's really in there and gets hurt?"

While the guards bickered, unsure of what to do, the clan head Hyūga Hiashi and other high-ranking family members arrived, accompanied by a few medical ninjas.

"Use a D-rank fire jutsu, to blast it open," Hyūga Hiashi ordered gravely.

Staring at the sphere in the air, he had no idea what kind of material it was made of, but he felt a heavy, oppressive sensation in his heart.

This black sphere was no ordinary object.

Sure enough, 

A small orange fireball whizzed through the air, only to dissolve silently the moment it touched the black sphere.

"Again! This time use ten Fireball Jutsu at once!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately, the gathered clan shinobi all launched this lowest-level Fire Style attack.

Again, it was silently absorbed.

"This time, switch to other nature transformations. Increase the power by one rank!"

Remaining composed, Hyūga Hiashi gave the order. They couldn't confirm whether his daughter was inside, so he couldn't simply unleash a full-scale assault.

But the clan had numbers on its side. Step by step, they would find a way to break this black sphere. That was the best approach.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

"Earth Style: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!"

"Water Style: Water Colliding Waves!"

One after another, the C-rank ninjutsu blasted into the air.

Boom!!!

Some of the jutsu collided prematurely, creating massive noise, but still failed to shake the black sphere, and not even a ripple appeared on the surface of the sphere.

"How is that possible? Even though they were just C-rank jutsu, used in such large numbers their combined force should be on par with the destructive force of an ordinary A-rank jutsu."

"And yet we haven't put so much as a crack in it."

The nearby crowd wore looks of shock.

If Natsuki were on the scene, he would have recognized it instantly as a shield formed by a Truth-Seeking Orb. 

Using conventional ninjutsu, it was absolutely impossible to break.

Unless one used Senjutsu, or possessed Six Paths power, there was no way to destroy it.

"This time, don't hold back! Use your best jutsu, one by one!"

Hyūga Hiashi bellowed.

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"

…

Rumble!!!

A series of deafening explosions echoed through the sky above the Hyūga clan grounds, quickly reverberating across all of Konoha.

This round of attacks featured large-scale, high-powered jutsu whose combined impact was extraordinary.

In the blink of an eye, countless figures raced toward the Hyūga compound, streaking in like lightning.

Nearby civilians turned pale. 

It had only been a few years since the Nine-Tails' Rampage, was something terrible happening in Konoha again?

Maybe they really should consider moving out…

Members of the ANBU, each wearing unique masks, arrived first. 

They were just about to question the Hyūga about the situation when a booming voice resounded:

"Who dares disrupt Konoha's peace? Do you think the Konoha Police Force is just for show?"

One by one, members of the Uchiha Clan, all wearing uniforms emblazoned with a fan symbol on the back, filed in.

At the forefront was Uchiha Fugaku, head of the Uchiha Clan and Captain of the Konoha Police Force.

"My younger daughter appears to be trapped inside that black sphere, and no ninjutsu can break it. Captain Fugaku, do you recognize this thing?"

Hyūga Hiashi stopped his clansmen, who were about to block the police force's approach, and turned to ask.

If anyone in the village had the abilities to conjure up something so strange, it would undoubtedly be the Uchiha, capable of awakening the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan with all its bizarre powers.

Fugaku focused his gaze on the large black sphere floating in the air. It looked more profound and unfathomable the longer he stared. Even with his experience, he couldn't identify what it was.

Of course, given his cautious nature, even if he did recognize it, he likely wouldn't say so. He would just let the Hyūga keep struggling and spending their energy.

"I've never seen anything like it. Whoever created this must be truly powerful.

"Still, there's nothing in this world that's truly unbreakable. If you haven't managed yet, you simply haven't used enough power.

"Would you like us to lend a hand?"

Fugaku offered. After all, he too was curious about what that black sphere was made of.

He had seen from a distance how it easily withstood a barrage of attacks from multiple shinobi. If it could be replicated for armor, it would be a major boon to the clan.

"Heh, the Hyūga Clan is known for its Byakugan and Gentle Fist Taijutsu. Their ninjutsu talents probably don't measure up to your average shinobi's," some of the more arrogant Uchiha officers in the police force scoffed. "No wonder their attacks had so little power. Let us handle it ourselves."

These were the same hotheaded Uchiha who, two years later, would contribute to sparking the Uchiha's downfall. 

They might have just wanted to look impressive by smashing the black sphere, but their words were clearly inflammatory.

Sure enough, before Fugaku could scold them—

The Hyūga shinobi exploded in fury. "Bastards! Let's see how powerful you are, then!"

"We're not afraid of your Sharingan!"

"Come on, see what the real number-one clan in Konoha is capable of!"

They formed up neatly, and the many subordinate ninjas of the Hyūga Clan surrounded the entire police force in an instant.

"Enough! The Hyūga Clan isn't so weak that we need help from outsiders."

Seeing the situation escalate, on the verge of igniting an internal conflict in Konoha, Hiashi hastily called off his clansmen. 

Right now, rescuing his daughter took priority.

After speaking, he stomped the ground and propelled himself into the air!

"If ninjutsu won't work, then let's try taijutsu!"

"Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher!"

A fierce beam of compressed Chakra blasted from his palms, colliding with the black sphere.

Boom!!!

At last, the immovable black sphere budged.

It veered off in a diagonal trajectory from midair, slicing across a large swathe of Konoha…

Its landing point? One of Konoha's most iconic buildings, the Hokage Tower…
