Konoha.
Hokage Building.
The Third Hokage's expression relaxed slightly.
Watching the Light screen Iruka and Light Screen Naruto's mutual reliance and bond, he gradually felt that entrusting Naruto to Iruka was perhaps the best decision he had ever made in his life.
'Please, you must return alive.'
This was also the Third Hokage's hope for Light Screen Naruto.
Naruto was supported by more than just Iruka, Minato, Kushina, and Jiraiya.
There were also many close friends and comrades in Konoha... Ninja Academy.
Observation Deck.
Iruka's eyes felt as if sand had gotten into them, making him rub them repeatedly.
Seeing the Light screen Iruka, he had completely put himself in his shoes.
If he were in that situation, would he try his best to stop him?
According to a Ninja's duty, and according to the bond between Iruka and Naruto, he would definitely want to do so.
Even if Naruto became strong, even if Naruto could stand on his own, he still wouldn't want Naruto to be in danger!
Such an order might just be what he wished for.
But, he also understood Naruto's responsibility.
Uzumaki Naruto!
'To become a Hokage acknowledged by everyone' was never an empty promise!
It was his resolve, evident in every word and action, a commitment to follow through!
It was his awakening after continuously recognizing and understanding pain!
It was the expectation of his parents, the continuation of their dream!
It was the result of countless choices made during numerous battles... Iruka turned to look at Naruto.
He couldn't help but fall into some real-life memories.
Speaking of which, throughout his years of constant interaction with Naruto, he guided Naruto, and Naruto also influenced Iruka.
They mutually promoted each other and grew together.
He and Naruto were both mutually reliant...
Naruto's eyes were red.
The letter in the screen truly moved Naruto!
Every stroke, Naruto could imagine the state of mind Iruka-sensei was in when he wrote it!
'Please, you must return alive.'
This was not only Iruka-sensei's expectation, Naruto was also hoping for Light Screen Naruto!
At the same time, Naruto's heart stirred.
He couldn't help but look at Iruka-sensei beside him on the Observation Deck.
He happened to catch the other's gaze.
Both of them almost simultaneously touched their heads and smiled sheepishly.
'No matter what, always keep each other in your heart.'
This was the resolution they both made without prior agreement... Hidden Cloud Village.
Raikage Building.
The Fourth Raikage roared in anger: "What exactly is this Konoha Ninja named 'Iruka' doing?! Can he just ignore a superior's mission like this?! He even wrote a letter in advance to prevent failure! Does he even have the resolve to complete the mission?!"
A could understand Iruka's actions.
Golden Naruto was strong; it wasn't his fault if he couldn't stop him.
But writing a letter in advance, it was as if he had foreseen his own failure!
A found such a thing difficult to comprehend.
Wasn't it justified to stop Naruto for the Shinobi Alliance at that time?!
Even a slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the world!
Are all Konoha Ninja people who disregard missions like this?!
In the Fourth Raikage's view, if he were in that situation, he would definitely intercept Naruto for safety's sake.
Even if he was Golden Naruto, so what?
Perhaps he would even look up to Sage Fox Naruto in the end...
Killer Bee quietly watched the screen for a long time, uncharacteristically silent.
Listening to his older brother's anger, he had many things he wanted to say to his brother, but unfortunately, his brother might not listen.
Since the Third Raikage's sacrifice, since he was confined to the Cloud Gorge, his older brother had forgotten some things.
He could understand the Light screen Golden Naruto and Light screen Iruka.
Why Jinchuriki could control their Tailed Beasts, why he, as an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, could unleash power exceeding the Eight-Tails.
"Yo, brother, don't get angry yet, Naruto is the protagonist destined by the screen ♫"
"♫ Future victory is already accurately reserved ♫"
"♫ How Naruto achieves victory, the screen reveals everything ♫"
"♫ If big brother can calmly watch—"
The Fourth Raikage completely ignored him and interrupted directly.
"Bee!!"
"Have you forgotten our current stance?!"
"We are the Hidden Cloud Village, we once had conflicts with Konoha, and even now we are not on good terms!"
"What screen protagonist? The future is not yet determined, who can guarantee it?!"
Killer Bee was interrupted but didn't get angry.
He still had to listen to his older brother's words, at least on the surface.
Samui watched the small friction between the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee.
Her eyes stared at the sky.
Her interest in the screen was growing.
As the screen continued to play, many private, unspoken, and true things in the Ninja World might be continuously exposed.
Konoha at this moment must have been significantly affected, right?
After all, even their own Village was like this... [Hidden Cloud Village Border]
[Dark Night]
[Golden Naruto glowed with a fiery light all over his body]
[He and Killer Bee rushed forward together]
[However, at this moment, his mood was inexplicably anxious]
'It seems an enemy has taken on our appearance.'
'You wouldn't happen to be that enemy, would you?'
'What nonsense are you spouting?'
'No one can be trusted.'
[Naruto's mind was filled with different malicious intentions coming from the outside world]
As Golden Naruto, he could sense people's malice and goodwill.
[Suddenly]
[Two figures descended from the sky, blocking their path, stirring up a violent commotion]
[Naruto was stunned: "Grandma Tsunade!"]
[Killer Bee: "Big Brother!"]
[The Fourth Raikage angrily rebuked: "We are here to stop you two, don't even think about going any further!"]
"Big Brother, let Naruto go, please ♫"
"I'll vouch for him, maybe ♫"
"Don't talk nonsense, this war is being fought to protect you two, if you two are captured—"
Naruto interrupted: "The enemy's jutsu will be completed, and the world will be destroyed, right! Iruka-sensei told me everything!"
"If you know that, then why are you going? You two big idiots!"
[Then the two began their 'Talk no Jutsu']
You say you are protecting me, but each of you is throwing your life away!
Anything is better than the end of the world!
I'm not so cold-blooded that I can know all this and remain indifferent!
"Stop talking, I won't let you go!"
"If I can't talk you out of it..."
[The golden figure, swift as lightning, attempted to bypass the Raikage's interception line]
Golden Naruto Mode.
High burst speed!
Like a golden flash!
[The Raikage's body instantly formed a Lightning Release armor, with blue-white Lightning Release Chakra covering his entire body]
Fourth Raikage.
Famous for his speed in the Ninja World!
Swift as blue lightning!
[Just as the rapidly moving Golden Naruto was about to break through the interception]
[The blue-white figure followed with equally extreme speed]
[He punched the golden figure back to its original position]
[Tsunade, standing nearby, could only vaguely sense two different Chakras moving at extremely high speeds]
[Completely invisible]
[Naruto was shocked by the Fourth Raikage's speed and hard punches, when he heard the other's words]
"No one in the Ninja World is faster than me, not since the Fourth Hokage passed away."
Naruto trembled, "You knew my dad!"
"I sparred with him many times. I once thought no Ninja could defeat him. I heard he was the Child of Prophecy Jiraiya, one of the Konoha Sannin, spoke of, called the Savior. As a Savior, why didn't he appear in this crisis? Because he failed in the Nine-Tails incident. And you, as his son, haven't learned any lessons, and are even foolish enough to spout baseless possibilities."
[Listening to the Fourth Raikage's disparaging remarks about his father, Naruto lowered his head and responded in a low voice]
"Don't talk as if you know my dad so well."
"The Fourth Hokage didn't fail."
The Fourth Raikage: "If you insist on going, I will kill you right here and now."
[As he spoke, the lightning on A's body grew more intense, continuously crackling]
[Naruto showed no fear, directly forming hand signs]
"It seems you have a death wish."
