Hidden Cloud Village.
Surrounded by high mountains.
Raikage Building.
Watching the last scene of sunlight, heavy rain, and intertwined footprints.
Everyone in the office was touched by something.
The Fourth Raikage even forgot his identity as the Raikage at this moment.
He became one of the Shinobi Alliance on the screen.
A surge of ambition rose from his heart.
In this situation,
How could one say the protagonist of the screen was Uzumaki Naruto?
The protagonist of the screen was every Ninja of the Shinobi Alliance!
Killer Bee, uncharacteristically, didn't rap.
Because he felt that
This kind of scene wasn't suitable for rapping.
Even when the screen showed facing an enemy as powerful as the Masked Man,
Killer Bee on the screen still rapped easily, adjusting the battlefield atmosphere.
But now, facing his companions on the screen, facing a situation where everyone was seriously watching the screen,
He felt it wasn't necessary.
There was no need to do anything extra.
The images on the screen had already explained everything... Hidden Sand Village.
Kazekage Building.
Gaara looked at the last image on the screen.
He felt a certain artistic conception.
Sunlight in the heavy rain.
Hope in despair.
And those countless footprints.
All seemed to illustrate the significance of Naruto's battle.
Naruto wasn't some senseless, stubbornly idiotic fellow.
He considered things much, much deeper than ordinary people.
Those unfamiliar with him also didn't understand him.
Uzumaki Naruto,
Had always been a hero beyond ordinary people... Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
Observation Deck.
Hinata once again saw her confession on the screen revealed.
Unlike before,
This time, she didn't shyly cover her face.
She continued to stare at the screen.
'Always, always chasing after you'
'But not this time'
'You wait for me'
These words, instead, became the source of strength in Hinata's heart.
She couldn't let Naruto-kun bear it alone.
She wanted to face all difficulties alongside Naruto-kun... Kiba watched his self-exposure on the screen.
He smiled wryly.
He hadn't expected himself to still be persistent at that time.
Even though Naruto had already left him far behind.
But Kiba's overestimation of himself on the screen made Kiba laugh with relief.
To take Naruto as a rival?!
Future Kiba!
I'm setting this goal here with you as well... Shino's heart suddenly stirred.
'Reason? Not needed.'
This kind of support that needed no reason.
Was it really what his future self would do?!
Shino was shocked by how his future self on the screen had changed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but truly think about such a future.
Unconditional trust?
Perhaps it wasn't bad... Shikamaru chuckled as he watched the screen.
Whether Naruto was smart or idiotic,
Presumably, that moment wasn't important.
What was important was that he would help Naruto.
He would take responsibility.
A person who took responsibility should be considered mature... Choji smiled as he saw his thin self on the screen.
He undoubtedly loved snacks.
But at certain times,
Giving up this hobby was also reasonable.
The smart Naruto, and the thin Choji!
At this moment, it was all reasonable... Watching the screen, Ino's eyes couldn't help but become firm!
Watching the screen, Tenten's heart couldn't help but feel at ease!
Watching the screen, flames burned in Lee's eyes.
Sakura's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears at this moment.
Everyone was there!
Naruto was never alone!
The wind, endless wind.
The leaves, endless leaves.
The wind carried the leaves.
The leaves revealed the wind's existence.
A Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, massive like a giant tree, was going berserk.
Its two branches embraced its head.
Its nine eyes were wide open in fury, and its giant mouth was agape.
The Ten-Tails was forming.
This wind was its byproduct.
The White Masked Man stood at its feet.
"For me, the Ten-Tails doesn't need to be revived in its complete form."
"My goal is merely a great genjutsu."
"Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"To plunge all humans on this planet into the same genjutsu."
"To create a unified world without individual divisions."
"A perfect world without war and discord."
"Only in a single consciousness, where individuality is abandoned, does truth exist."
"This world no longer needs hope, future, or renowned heroes."
"Even if the Ten-Tails revives in an incomplete form, I can still cast Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Reality will end."
"All that remains is an endless,"
"Never-ending, singular dream."
The direction the Masked Man was facing.
Naruto, in his orange combat uniform, looked across through the wind and leaves.
Kurama had conveyed a message to him.
'The Sage of Six Paths said that the day the Ten-Tails is fully revived is the day the world ends.'
'It's the combined Chakra of all the Tailed Beasts, from Ichibi to me, Kurama.'
'It is the origin of Chakra, the creator god, Amenominakanushi, Tatara, Daitarabotchi.'
'It has many names.'
'It drinks the sea, splits the earth, moves mountains.'
'It is the so-called progenitor of creation.'
Since that was the case,
Naruto's eyes were exceptionally focused and firm.
His azure pupils were clear and singular.
He was very clear-headed at this moment, completely unaffected by the Masked Man's words.
He spoke each word with conviction.
"I... have a dad, a mom, and the Perverted Sage."
He spoke with unwavering determination.
"Children will admire heroes!!"
"That's why I can charge forward without any hesitation!!"
"I'm going to become a Hokage greater than all previous ones!!"
"That's my dream, you idiot!"
Uzumaki Naruto confidently curved his lips.
He countered directly.
Similarly,
Might Guy: "Although I don't want my youth to end, dreams always have a day they wake up."
Kakashi: "Ah, dreams are meant to be realized."
Killer Bee: "♫ Dreams dreams dreams, so many dreams, my dream is a MILF's XX ♫"
"♫ The more dreams are realized, the closer truth becomes ♫"
Just then,
White Masked Man: "Individuality blurs the truth; I am no one."
"Therefore, only my words are words derived from the world's truth."
Naruto looked over.
No need for more words.
He instantly transformed into Golden Naruto.
Holding a blue Rasengan in one hand.
He flew at extreme speed into the air, his target directly the Ten-Tails.
At this moment,
The world was collapsing.
Rubble seemed to lose gravity, floating in mid-air.
Darkness encroached upon the entire Ninja World.
The terrifying Demonic Statue of the Outer Path tree monster was evolving into the ultimate Ten-Tails.
And,
Golden Naruto, in mid-air, glowed resplendently.
His tiny figure was the only light in the apocalypse.
Dispelling darkness, dispelling cold.
Like a sunset samurai in the ultimate battle!
No retreat!
Like the only light among the specters and demons!
Absolute justice!
Like the fated hero's moment!
This battle must be won
