At this moment, the Ninja World instantly erupted.
Everyone was deeply shocked by the White Masked Man's shocking self-revelation on the screen!
Infinite Tsukuyomi!
A Genjutsu that all humans would fall into together!!
An endless, never-ending, singular dream!!!
Countless Ninja were stirred by the Masked Man's idea.
Destroy the Ninja World.
Initiate the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Collect the Ten-Tails.
It was all to implement a Genjutsu across the entire Ninja World!
And there was even a seemingly grand ideal?
A perfect world without war and animosity?
The content revealed at this moment.
For countless people in the Ninja World watching the screen.
It was as if they were facing an enemy with terrifying strength and extreme ideology.
But then the enemy took off his mask and told everyone he was only pursuing a nobler ideal!
This kind of scheme.
Gave countless people a sense of déjà vu.
As if they had seen it somewhere before.
Recalling it.
Everyone suddenly remembered Nagato of the Akatsuki Organization!
He also had a noble ideal of peace!
And the White Masked Man also came from the Akatsuki Organization.
Could it be that everyone in the Akatsuki Organization was a 'good person'?
It's just that their actions seemed so extreme.
Of course, this was also a funny thought while watching the screen.
Truly facing the Masked Man.
No matter his reasons.
They would firmly oppose him.
If someone kills, can they really be forgiven by saying they did it for peace?
Countless people in the Ninja World did not want this madman to succeed.
Everyone hoped that Naruto could truly be like a legendary hero.
Defeat this hateful Masked Man!
No matter his reasons.
The final scene, like a traditional painting.
Also lifted the spirits of countless Ninja.
Everyone seemed to see from that image.
A history stretching back a thousand years!
The ultimate doomsday future of the Ninja World!
There was a grand, epic feeling!
And Uzumaki Naruto.
Was the most dazzling light in this grand story!
Everyone was filled with confidence for a moment... Hidden Cloud Village.
Hokage Building.
Inside the conference room, everyone's expressions were grave.
Everyone was shocked by the Masked Man's self-revelation on the screen.
The Third Hokage frowned and said, "A Genjutsu covering the entire Ninja World, Infinite Tsukuyomi!? Is there really such a powerful Ninjutsu?"
Regarding a Ninjutsu of this magnitude.
The Third Hokage felt that from a human perspective, it was simply impossible.
Was what this Masked Man said true?
But his tone didn't sound like he was talking nonsense.
His tone was very calm.
Individuals who reach this level of strength generally disdain to lie.
But to first start a war, causing countless Ninja lives to be lost.
And then talk about a 'perfect world'?
How could such a world be perfect!
The Third Hokage's impression of the Masked Man deepened.
He was completely an individual who had become fanatical and possessed terrifying strength.
Shikaku frowned and analyzed, "Such a Genjutsu covering the entire Ninja World, even the Six Paths Sage, the ancestor of Ninshu, would find it difficult to achieve. Even relying on the power of the Ten-Tails, I always feel that this matter isn't so simple..."
How could a normal person conceive of such a method of 'peace'?
How could humans, stripped of their individuality, still be called human?
Living forever in a dream, even a beautiful one.
To some extent, it is also a deprivation of freedom.
If reality is destroyed, no matter how beautiful the dream, it is ultimately empty.
This was Shikaku's thought, and also the thought of every normal person.
The most incomprehensible point to him was still the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Who created this Ninjutsu?
And does it truly have such an effect?
Why create such a Ninjutsu?
Who told this Masked Man?
Shikaku keenly sensed too many perplexing things.
Like a conspiracy.
Of course, this was also one of his many speculations.
He could only slowly eliminate all incorrect guesses based on the subsequent content of the screen.
And finally arrive at the truth of the Ninja World... Ninja Academy.
Observation Deck.
Ninja Academy.
Naruto's voice was firm and resolute.
"My dream is to become Hokage, to become a Hokage acknowledged by everyone!"
In his opinion.
Everything the Masked Man on the screen said was nonsense.
What's wrong with a child aspiring to be a hero!
Even when he grows up to be an adult.
There must be a hero-like presence in his heart that always supports him!
The world absolutely needs heroes!
And it needs dreams!
Naruto has had a deep understanding of dreams since he was a child.
Sakura looked at the screen.
Actually, she was a bit hesitant at first.
After all, falling into a beautiful dream.
Thinking about it might not be bad.
But immediately after.
Listening to Naruto's confident words beside her.
A resolute expression also appeared on her face.
If she chose a beautiful dream, she would be choosing to abandon everything in reality.
How could that be possible!
She looked at Sasuke-kun, Kakashi-sensei, Ino, Naruto, and so on.
She thought of her parents at home.
She thought of her growth experiences in Konoha.
All of this.
She was unwilling to abandon!
Ino's thoughts were very simple.
Making a decision was also very easy.
From beginning to end, the Masked Man was an enemy of the Ninja World.
For his own goals, he abandoned all of reality.
Completely disregarding everyone's thoughts.
Seemingly for a 'perfect world'.
Seemingly fair like a scale in his heart.
But in reality, he was the most selfish individual.
Such a person is a villain, an evil person... Shikamaru stared at the screen, deep in thought.
Why did the Masked Man wear a mask?
Wearing a mask, not daring to show himself, not wanting to show himself.
'I am nothing.'
Did he abandon his former self, or was it truly for the so-called 'greater good'?
What is certain is that.
This individual has old acquaintances, people he knows who are still alive.
If he truly abandoned everything.
He would definitely not be wearing a mask.
Wearing a mask, on the contrary, indicates that he has not truly let go.
This was Shikaku's thought after observing the Masked Man for a long time.
Who would wear a mask all day for no reason?
The masks of Anbu and Root were for executing missions.
Kakashi-sensei's mask... Shikaku had complex guesses.
To prevent dust? A habit from being in Anbu? To hide his appearance?
Thinking of this.
Shikaku cleared his head.
No need to think so complicated for no reason.
Aren't the adults still pondering those difficult problems?... Kakashi looked at the screen.
His visible eye seemed nonchalant.
But deep down, a faint irritation inexplicably arose.
Dreams, for him, had died a long time ago.
That was after his father's suicide.
At that time.
His heart only held missions.
Missions were greater than comrades.
This was the lesson his father's death taught him.
Until he met many people later.
Minato-sensei, Obito, Rin.
'Yes, those who break the Ninja World rules are called trash.'
'But, those who don't value their comrades are worse than trash.'
The time Rin was captured.
He, a newly promoted Jonin, was hit hard by Obito's uppercut and fell to the ground.
He could have resisted, but he didn't.
At that moment, he was 'changed' by Obito.
Obito was the catalyst for his change.
After that.
He was no longer like a living corpse.
Existing only for missions.
But then.
A series of blows... Many things cannot be explained in a few words.
Regarding that memory.
Pain outweighed joy.
But Kakashi still visited the graves once a year.
Sometimes.
Compared to the pain, he was more afraid of forgetting their existence.
Obito, Rin, Minato-sensei...
