Young Rin blinked, "Under these circumstances, can we still win?"
Old Rin gently smiled at Young Rin, "You already didn't have the chance to accompany Obito in the ninja world and see this world full of a thousand scars."
"So you also don't know that actually in this ninja world, the largest number are civilians who had no choice during wartime; just living was already extremely difficult."
Young Rin puffed her cheeks in displeasure, "I know, Obito told me."
Old Rin saw Young Rin's adorable manner and couldn't help laughing, "That's great, you were very well protected by him. I also want to be like you. It's just, both me and this world's Obito are pitiable people."
Then Old Rin returned to seriousness, her gaze carrying a trace of reminiscence, "These civilians have long been pressed so heavily they can't catch their breath, lost the will to resist; when meeting various problems, also instinctively escape. Therefore, perhaps they just in that moment didn't react yet…"
Young Rin paused, then suspiciously said, "Is that so?"
Old Rin nodded, "Like when you go to a strange place and see a basket full of fresh strawberries radiating an enticing aroma, but would you dare to eat them at once?"
Young Rin's little face reddened, only she knows what she loves to eat most.
She said, "Of course not dare. Maybe it's a trap."
But then she added, "However, if it's not a trap, I would definitely finish eating them."
Old Rin laughed, "Exactly. So wait. The more suppressed they have been, perhaps the more fierce their rebound..."
Meanwhile on the field, with the number of Naruto's side continuously increasing, the momentum around Naruto was pushed to an unbeatable level.
At this moment he felt victory was assured, and he didn't want to mock Obito, only said solemnly, "You have already lost. Continuing to struggle has no meaning."
Meanwhile Young Obito simply said, "Naruto, haven't you noticed, among those supporters behind you, they all lack one characteristic?"
'Characteristic?', Naruto raised his head, looking at the huge crowd behind.
Among them were old people and children, nobles and warriors, daimyo and shinobi, ordinary people and disabled people.
It seems there are all kinds of people.
Naruto looked up and said to Young Obito, "No, they already represent everyone. You don't need to keep pretending with tricks anymore."
Young Obito shook his head and said calmly, "Naruto, you're wrong. Behind you there are all kinds of people, but their projected consciousness, they are wearing clothes, most are neat."
Naruto was stunned, 'That seems so, but is there any problem with that?'
At that moment, as if to respond to Naruto's words, the number of people behind Old Obito suddenly began to increase.
These people's gazes seemed numb, numb but also flickering with a trace of light.
Their clothes, most were tattered and torn, as if worn year after year, worn out, old, ragged, still patched and makeshift to get by.
Naruto suddenly realized something. He had seen many such people before, they were just the most ordinary people in the ninja world. Ordinary. They were like landscape in a painting that he subconsciously ignored.
But can you really ignore them?
Naruto suddenly widened his eyes. A bad premonition attacked him.
Meanwhile, across the ninja world, those trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi were immersed in beautiful dreams.
Amid the immersion, they heard Obito's voice.
Then they suddenly understood.
So it turns out, this all was only a dream.
How could the world suddenly become so beautiful?
For the sake of family, for the sake of wife and children having food, the man living by the sea was still forced to sign an unequal contract with the shipyard.
Every day besides eating and sleeping, he worked continuously for the shipyard. The income was so meager that even a simple meal was insufficient for the family.
The wife, having no choice, resolved that if it didn't work, she would go out...
The husband had no strength to stop her.
At this moment, Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated, and he sank into the dream.
In the dream, everything changed. Here the shipyard owner treated employees well, gave ample rest and benefits, and allowed him to prepay his wages to purchase the company's ships.
Soon he had his own new ship, built his own fleet, quit his job, went to sea to fish, and each time returned fully loaded.
In this world, his wife and children wore happy, joyful smiles.
In this world, he no longer worried about life, gradually dreamt his own dream, he would become a man to conquer the sea.
However just then, Obito's voice pulled him back. Only then did he know that all this… was only a dream made for him?
Can a dream replace reality?
In reality, his wife and children, are they also immersed in such a beautiful dream?
If so, what is there to refuse?
'To hell with this damned reality.'
The man still raised his right hand. He resolutely wanted to sink back to sleep.
In the ninja world, there are many people like that man.
In some dream, an old soldier put down his bowl and said to his son and grandson, "If one day you know this wonderful life is only a dream, what will you do?"
Son and grandson were stunned. The young grandson innocently said, "Grandpa taught me, no matter how cruel the reality, we must face it bravely."
"But Grandpa, what exactly is cruel reality?"
The elder was silent. Cruel reality is: he gave a lifetime for his village, ended with full-body disability, but the compensation was never paid.
His son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, facing him bedridden and without money for treatment, ultimately chose to pack up and run away, leaving him alone.
He resented nothing, because as an old soldier he knew that was the reasonable choice. You can't drag down a whole family for one useless person.
He had a steel-like will, even in the dream world, for his newly returned and filial son and daughter-in-law, he taught them the same.
He should stand on the side of the Allied Great Nation shinobi.
Meanwhile…
This time the elder stood up and said to his grandson, "Cruel reality is that, despite encountering injustice, because of the huge gap in power, we are powerless to resist."
"Cruel reality is that no one stands up for ordinary people. We are like tools. When useful, they hold you high; when useless, they throw you aside and don't even glance at you."
"So if there is a chance to prove that the weak can resist the strong, to prove that the rule of Konoha is not IMMOVABLE, then no matter what that is, I must see it!"
After speaking, the elder resolutely raised his right hand.
