In Konoha, at the Hokage Building, listening to the words of his comrades on the screen, the Third Hokage's face broke into a smile, and his heart felt warm.
He even felt that his Will of Fire had been a bit narrow at times.
'A person's life is not just one'—this truth can perhaps only be grasped in real war.
Without reaching a desperate situation, how could the Ninja ever comprehend it!
The Konoha Ninja named Hinata on the screen had, at this moment, taught everyone in the Ninja World a lesson.
The Third Hokage's face showed a benevolent smile.
Uzumaki Naruto truly hadn't chosen the wrong person.
Recalling the previous scene, where Naruto was driven to despair by Obito's words, perhaps he was re-encouraged by Hinata.
Immediately after, listening to the words Light Screen Naruto spoke later:
'Comrades live in your heart.'
Always remember your comrades in your heart!
Remember that there is still a will alive in your heart.
Naruto doesn't just have his own life!
The Third Hokage even felt that he had suddenly realized something.
These young juniors are truly incredible!
Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked the wrinkles on his face and couldn't help but sigh.
He truly was old, and he had underestimated them too much...
At the Ninja Academy, on the Observation Deck, Naruto was completely moved by the content of the screen.
His calm and steady face couldn't help but break into a sunny smile.
Those words struck directly at his heart.
What was now deeply embedded in his heart was abundant hope.
Loneliness? How could he possibly possess such a thing!
He had his parents, his teachers, and comrades like Hinata who were moving forward together!
Loneliness had long since disappeared from his reality, and even more so from his future journey!
Naruto's whiskered face softened.
What are comrades?
Comrades are beings that can never be forgotten!
Shikamaru looked at the screen, and the vague negative emotions in his heart about the future gradually smoothed out.
He seemed to see the future in his eyes, and also seemed to return to rational calm.
Such situations would indeed be encountered in the future.
But there was nothing to fear.
As long as anyone chooses by their own will, even if the outcome after their choice is not perfect, we should not dwell in sadness.
Shikaku recalled, what was their choice for?
It was to protect the Ninja World, and also to protect him, his son, as a father.
His father hoped that he and the Ninja World could overcome this difficulty.
So, until the very last moment, he was still thinking of a way, and he even came up with a solution...
Ino looked at the screen, her heart shaken by Hinata's words and also by Naruto's words.
At this moment, she was still sad about the sacrifice of her father on the screen, but it hadn't reached the point of agony.
Her heart was healed by the words of her comrades on the screen...
After watching this segment, Kakashi was relieved for Light Screen Naruto and also for his comrades.
Naruto was worthy of their trust.
And they were worthy of Naruto's protection.
Only this kind of mutual protection could be called true camaraderie.
Recalling Obito's actions on the screen, a memory flashed in Kakashi's eyes.
He felt nostalgia for the Obito of the past.
But immediately after, determination also flashed in his eyes.
If Obito denied the will of comrades, and even wanted to erase that will, then he would absolutely defend it to the death, even if it meant killing Obito...
[The Ten-Tails unleashed a massive Tailed Beast Ball]
[It attacked Naruto, Killer Bee, Kakashi, and Might Guy]
Naruto's golden Nine-Tailed Mode collapsed.
The Eight-Tails Gyūki, exhausted, returned to Killer Bee's body.
Kakashi had exhausted his chakra while using Kamui to transport Gyūki.
Might Guy was exhausted from using Hirudora.
[But]
[The Tailed Beast Ball grazed past them]
[It hit a distant mountain peak, erupting in a huge white light and sound]
[Raising a massive cloud of dust]
["It missed, was it intentional?"]
[Sounds of figures moving without concealment came one after another]
[Kakashi looked through the mist, "They're finally here."]
[Killer Bee also looked up, his expression startled]
[Two Ninja wearing 'Shinobi' headbands were the first to jump in front of them]
["Kakashi, Might Guy, sorry to keep you waiting!"]
[Immediately after, two more came]
[Pairs of figures continuously appeared]
[The surroundings seemed to be swarming with countless teams gathering]
[Ino and Hinata arrived together]
[They explained: "The most precise Mind Transfer Jutsu, aided by the Byakugan, was broken in just two seconds."]
[Hyuga Hiashi: "But it still made that big guy's attack miss, splendid!"]
[Hinata first asked with concern: "Naruto, are you okay?"]
[Uzumaki Naruto, without turning his head, smiled and affirmed to Hinata]
[Still facing Obito and Madara squarely]
At this moment, countless people stood behind him.
This was the most powerful response to Obito's words.
[Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru arrived at this moment]
["Don't show off just because Hinata is here, Naruto!"]
[Dozens of Aburame clan members, wearing identical dark green trench coats]
["Insect Enslavement Jutsu!!!"]
[Countless insects surged from their sleeves]
[On the other side, dozens of Ninja lined up and attacked simultaneously]
["Mist Concealment Jutsu!!!"]
[A thick mist rose, gradually spreading across the entire battlefield]
[Countless insects also secretly spread within it]
[Two more figures landed beside Naruto's group of four]
["I'm here, Naruto!" said Choji.]
["Good, now we won't be easily sensed!" said Shikaku.]
[Killer Bee also had comrades concerned about him beside him]
["Bee-sama, your injuries are much lighter than I expected!"]
["Bee-sama, weren't you seriously injured?!"]
["Hey, Omoi, you're getting too concerned!"]
[Lee came to Might Guy-sensei's side]
[Seeing him being supported by Kakashi-sensei, his physical condition was clearly not good]
[He asked worriedly: "Guy-sensei, did you use Hirudora?"]
[Another figure appeared]
["I'm late, Captain Kakashi!" said Sai.]
[Sakura quickly walked behind Kakashi, her green healing chakra appearing]
[Countless Ninja figures]
[One after another, as if endless]
'Inoichi, Ao, confirm the situation!'
[The mid-range projectile squad in mid-air had not yet landed]
["First Unit arrived!"]
[The close-combat assassination unit marched in unison]
["Second Unit arrived!"]
[The mid-range support unit ran up]
["Third Unit arrived!"]
[The aerial support unit jumped and landed]
["Fourth Unit arrived!"]
[The unit clad in armor and wielding samurai swords marched in]
["Fifth Unit also arrived!"]
[Medical teams dispersed everywhere, all with green chakra in their hands]
["Medical Unit also here!"]
["Sensor Unit arrived!"]
[Looking at the huge mist below]
["You think you can hide like this?" said Madara on top of the Ten-Tails.]
[He controlled the Ten-Tails' giant tail to sweep]
[A hurricane rushed towards the mist]
[The endless mist was instantly blown further away]
[The mist dispersed]
[Only to reveal]
[Countless Ninja gathered below]
[The Shinobi Alliance, unprecedented in the Ninja World]
[The yellow-haired, orange-clad Konoha Ninja at the forefront formed hand signs]
["What you see now is the Shinobi Alliance Jutsu!"]
["The greatest, strongest, and most incredible Ninjutsu in Ninja history!!!"]
...As the passionate scenes on the screen played, and as Light Screen Naruto activated the greatest Ninjutsu, the entire Ninja World erupted.
Ninja from countless corners seemed to transform into members of the Shinobi Alliance on the screen.
The greatest, strongest, and most incredible Ninjutsu in Ninja history!
It was the Ninjutsu of all Ninja united in one heart!
The enemy was unimaginably powerful, but the unity of everyone's will was also unimaginably powerful!
Facing an existence like the Ten-Tails, which human power could not resist, the Shinobi Alliance would confront it with their united will!
One person could not, two people were powerless.
Then three, four... up to countless!
When comrades in front were threatened, comrades in the back rushed forward to protect them!
After protecting their comrades, the protected comrades could also recover their strength!
Just like Naruto, Kakashi, and the others!
Now they needed protection!
Therefore, the Shinobi Alliance had arrived!
From distant places, they rushed to the front lines!
This was what it was for!
Protecting the Ninja World was the will of every Ninja!!
