Hidden Cloud Village.
Surrounded by high mountains.
Raikage Building.
Killer Bee silently watched the screen.
When he first saw 'Sage Fox Naruto', he was inspired and was about to rap a few lines to match the battle atmosphere.
But then came the admonitions from Naruto's mother.
The more he listened, the emptier Killer Bee felt inside.
Damn idiot!
Naruto already had him as a companion.
Lucky enough!
Then his father, Minato Namikaze, appeared, followed by the reappearance of his mother's voice!
The screen was clearly trying to curry favor with Uzumaki Naruto!
What a stupid screen!
Killer Bee's eyes narrowed under his sunglasses!
The main character of the screen really had privileges.
He also wanted to be a damn protagonist...
Hidden Sand Village.
Kazekage Building.
Gaara watched the screen showing Kushina admonishing baby Naruto.
His eyes suddenly felt a little dry.
His past memories resurfaced.
His heart began to ache again.
The more he listened to Kushina's voice on the screen,
The more he hurt.
He wanted to let the pain flow out.
Temari gently comforted him, "Your mother's love for you is no less than Naruto's mother's; you have the sand your mother left you..."
That was absolute defense.
Having watched so much of the screen's content,
Temari's impression of the sand was now very clear.
Gaara was never alone; he just didn't know it.
Kankuro: "Gaara, I am your biological brother!"
Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
Observation Deck.
Naruto watched and watched, tears streaming down his face.
This kind of thing was truly moving!
Naruto personally experienced the mother's love contained in those few nagging words!
Listening to Naruto's cries,
Sakura couldn't help but get teary-eyed.
The content on the screen was indeed very relatable.
Don't be picky, eat more and grow up quickly!
Every life, at its very beginning, usually hears such sounds!
And then later, words about making friends, pocket money, and so on.
How could these words not move people!
"One after another, Senior Kushina is truly..." "Naruto, please stop crying, you're making me want to cry too!"
Naruto's tear-streaked face turned around.
"I want to cry, I can't stop it!"
Choji's eyes were a little red.
He secretly suppressed the emotions in his heart.
As Naruto's companion, he naturally hoped Naruto could feel his parents' love for him.
But it would be better if it wasn't a "dying wish."
Sasuke's originally cold face gradually softened as he watched the screen.
Memories flashed through his eyes.
If that incident hadn't happened, he would have had such a mother too...
Jiraiya's eyes also showed sadness.
Kushina told Naruto to "stay away" from him.
This kind of thing should have been bad for him.
But he found it very endearing.
Staying with him made it easy to be led astray.
Kushina thought far ahead, and it was truly good.
But Naruto probably wouldn't be led astray by him.
He was Uzumaki Naruto after all.
Kushina, Minato, you can rest assured.
Because your child has truly grown into a hero recognized by everyone...
[Nine-Tails Naruto was enveloped by the golden Kurama.]
[He closed his eyes and slowly felt the natural energy.]
['This way, the absorption of natural energy also speeds up.']
Kurama did not suppress Naruto from absorbing natural energy.
On the contrary, Nine-Tailed Chakra and natural energy mutually assisted each other.
[Just then,]
[On Nine-Tails Naruto's golden face, two orange eye shadows appeared.]
[The symbol of Sage Mode manifested.]
[The next moment,]
[Sage Fox Naruto opened his eyes.]
[A cross-shaped bright light appeared in his orange pupils, revealing sharp brilliance.]
[After the bright light flashed,]
[The 'cross' was clearly imprinted within his pupils.]
["Alright!"]
Chakra filled his body!
Observation, attack power, reaction speed, and so on, all received a great boost!
Plus, his father next to him was in the same state!
Six Paths Obito was nothing.
Fearless...
[—]
[In the sky, a giant blood-red moon hung high.]
[A divine tree piercing the sky stood over the entire Ninja World.]
[At the top of the giant tree was a massive bud.]
[It seemed as if it could touch the blood-red moon at any moment.]
[It seemed as if it was about to bloom and bear fruit at any moment.]
The Divine Tree could drain the Ninja's Chakra, turning them into emaciated corpses!
[This was the Ten-Tails' ultimate form.]
[It was a foregone conclusion.]
[But,]
[Naruto, with his head bowed, knelt on the ground.]
[Golden Chakra spread throughout his body.]
[In just an instant,]
[He transformed into Golden Naruto in Sage Mode Nine-Tailed Chakra.]
[Other countless Ninjas, despairing in the face of the Divine Tree, suddenly had a vision in their minds.]
[Ino trembled, 'I felt it, this is... Naruto's inner world! Through my jutsu...']
Through the connection of Nine-Tailed Chakra.
Through Ino's Mind Transfer Jutsu.
Naruto conveyed his will to everyone on the battlefield.
[Countless Ninjas saw those images.]
Sasuke walked alone into the deep forest.
Unwilling to associate with the group of Ninja Academy students behind him.
The ten-year-old Naruto reached out, wanting to call out to him.
But he still lowered his hand.
['At that time,']
['I really should have called out to you.']
['After that, I kept thinking this, kept thinking this.']
Again and again later.
Unable to catch up with Sasuke's lonely back...
[Sakura was stunned, receiving the images from Naruto's mind.]
The memorial service for the Third Hokage.
[The Impure World Reincarnation Third Hokage saw that image.]
Teacher Asuma Sarutobi's smiling face, with a cigarette in his mouth.
Immediately after, Teacher Asuma's grave.
Teacher Kurenai and other companions dressed in black.
Their faces were sad.
[Ino, Choji, and Shikaku, who was near death from having his Chakra absorbed, all saw this image.]
The scene of the Perverted Sage and Naruto laughing heartily face to face.
Then, another lonely grave.
A solitary character "師" (master) on it.
["I—"]
[Tsunade, rushing to the center of the battlefield, and Orochimaru, standing alone, heard Naruto's inner voice.]
Itachi supported Nagato.
["I—"]
[Sasuke, within his purple Susanoo, heard Naruto's inner voice.]
Sakura held the dying Elder Chiyo.
["I—"]
[Temari and Gaara, rushing to the center of the battlefield, heard Naruto's inner voice.]
The sacrificed Neji.
["I don't want to regret!"]
[Hinata heard Naruto's inner voice.]
[Sage Fox Naruto raised his head, his cross-shaped eyes fixed forward with the firmness of a nail.]
["I don't want to regret 'why I didn't do it at that time' again!!!"]
["Besides, we've already done so much!"]
["I can't pretend any of this doesn't exist!!!"]
[The Impure World Reincarnation Fourth Hokage used Flying Thunder God to appear beside Naruto, transferring his dark golden Nine-Tailed Chakra.]
[The Impure World Reincarnation Tobirama looked at the dazzling golden Sage Fox Naruto, 'Uzumaki Naruto, looking at him is like looking at my older brother.']
['Although he's a naive, simple-minded, foolish boy who always spouts pretty words,']
['I don't know why everyone likes him and relies on him.']
[The emaciated Shikaku slowly opened his eyes.]
'Naruto, you're always like this.'
'Risking everything, going through fire and water for us.'
'It was the same before, whenever something concerned us,'
'You would never slack off, never compromise.'
'In front of you, I even feel embarrassed to complain about trouble.'
["Dad, I'm sorry."]
["Naruto won't even let me go to you."]
'Dad, it was a long time later that I realized,'
'How many difficult things Naruto had accomplished all by himself.'
'Now, I don't want him to experience that feeling again.'
'I just can't help but feel that way.'
One day, that guy will become an important figure in our village.
Being with Naruto, I can't help but think... of continuing to walk with him.
[Shikaku propped up his body, damaged by the Divine Tree.]
He felt Naruto's will.
Therefore.
He couldn't die like this.
He still had to be Naruto's strategist...
Naruto's belief saved him!
