Naruto looked toward the Young Obito who appeared beside Old Obito, and similarly extended his hand.
"Obito from another world, you too, I know you are a good person, just bewitched by Rin from the other world, she is a bad girl, you shouldn't continue listening to her."
Young Obito looked at Naruto's serious expression, only feeling a bit like laughing.
Even now, Naruto still believed that Young Rin was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Whether it was because the mask naturally carried a schemer's aura, making people easily misunderstand, or because after seeing him deceive many ignorant girls, Young Rin also learned how to deceive ignorant boys.
He looked toward the allied shinobi behind Naruto and said, "Naruto, rather than trying to shake my and the other me's will, why not ask the people behind you, how many of them still have an unshakable belief like yours?"
Naruto was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"
Then, he turned his head to look behind.
Leading them were still the Kage from the five great villages.
At this time, the Raikage A was already furious, "Damn genjutsu, don't think you can shake my will!"
"Naruto, don't worry, we will all firmly stand behind you and fight Uchiha Obito to the end!"
This sentence aroused resonance, and soon, from all directions of the allied forces, came a deafening shout.
"Fight to the end!"
"Never give up!"
"Never retreat!"
One wave louder than the last, one tide higher than the last, forming an unstoppable momentum.
Naruto was also infected by the momentum, clenching his fists, he looked toward Young Obito.
"Did you hear them shouting?"
"Even though they're already trapped in the illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi, they still resist unwillingly!"
Young Obito nodded, "After all, they are elite ninjas from the five great villages, possessing endurance and willpower beyond ordinary people. This, I acknowledge."
After a pause, Young Obito said, "But does everyone think this way? Naruto, how about you look more carefully."
Naruto furrowed his brow and looked back again.
This time, looking carefully, he found that some people had very complex expressions, showing no desire to fight at all, and even when facing his sweeping gaze, could only lower their heads and avoid it.
These people, although not the majority, were not few within the allied forces either.
They merely remained silent while most shouted, so Naruto didn't hear their voices at first.
Naruto couldn't suppress his anger and shouted at these people, "What's wrong with you? Just because of a small dream, you've fallen?"
This question caused some ninjas to show expressions of shame.
But there were also some ninjas who were instead angered.
One seemingly ordinary ninja stood out.
He clenched his fists, looked at Naruto, and roared, "Do you know, in reality, both of my parents died during the Nine-Tails' attack, and it's been a long, long time since I've eaten the food they made!"
"It was Uchiha Obito who fulfilled this wish for me. Not only did I eat the food made by my mom and dad, I also live happily with them every day."
"I would rather this dream never end for a lifetime. That way, I can live happily with them for the rest of my life!"
Naruto's pupils shrank, and his tone softened, "But... fake things are ultimately fake..."
This sentence made that ninja even angrier.
"You fox demon who has never experienced fatherly and motherly love, how would you know the warmth of living with parents?"
"How could that be fake, that's clearly real!"
"If you don't understand, then don't speak carelessly!"
This sentence caused Naruto's pupils to shrink violently, and a somewhat familiar feeling returned again.
Turns out, no matter how hard he worked, how many times he saved Konoha, there were still people who, in their hearts, saw him as that fox demon from the beginning.
It's just that because he became strong, those people feared trouble and stopped speaking those mocking words out loud, learning to hide their hatred.
'But in reality... nothing has changed...'
Naruto's tears could not help but flow; this sincere outburst from the Konoha ninja in a moment of rage was the biggest blow to him.
He gritted his teeth hard, desperately holding back tears, and said, "Just how much do I have to do to gain your recognition?"
That Konoha ninja shouted, "Let me keep dreaming, then I'll acknowledge you. I'll even firmly support and love you in the dream, let you be Hokage for a lifetime, as long as... my mom and dad are still alive."
By the end of his words, that Konoha ninja was also sobbing uncontrollably.
At this moment, nearby, Edo Tensei Namikaze Minato stepped in front of that Konoha ninja and slowly said, "Please don't say that to Naruto. I was very gentle with him, he does have fatherly and motherly love."
That Konoha ninja immediately became embarrassed, "Sorry, Lord Fourth Hokage, I just... just really miss my mom and dad, but I know clearly, it was you who saved Konoha!"
Namikaze Minato didn't know what to say either, only looked toward the stunned Naruto and said, "Naruto, wake up, don't take words said in anger as reality!"
"Words in anger?", Naruto said self-deprecatingly, he had already endured too many of such angry words.
He even couldn't help but say to Namikaze Minato, "Father, tell me, if I also sink into the dream, will I be able to see you and mom?"
Saying this, Naruto paused and looked toward the two Obitos in the distance, "They... both have eaten mom's cooking, but I haven't."
Both Old and Young Obito simultaneously felt Naruto's pitifulness. Indeed, meals from Kushina-nee, they both had eaten, though sometimes, when Kushina tried out strange dishes, they also tasted some dark cuisine.
But those past pains, when reminisced, also become a kind of happiness, right?
Seeing this, Old Obito imitated Naruto's earlier posture and extended his hand to Naruto.
He said, "Naruto, the one who should come over is you. I'll let you eat Kushina's cooking every day."
Naruto, however, gave a bitter smile and sobered up.
He quickly regained his determination, "Uncle Obito, undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The dream may make up for the pain and regrets of many people, but such people are ultimately the minority. Most people still clearly know which side they should stand on!" [T/N: Justice is for the majority, not for all.]
After speaking, Naruto once again looked toward the Allied Forces and said, "Then choose again, are you standing with me, or crossing over to stand with Uchiha Obito?"
