[Ōnoki: So it's finally over.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Yes… this livestream really was long.]
[Minato Namikaze: Well, a lot of things happened. There was even a trip to another world.]
[Mei Terumi: But where did that handsome guy run off to?]
[Jiraiya: Uh… he probably went to look for Shizuka and Samui.]
[Tsunade: That's very possible. After all, he needs to confirm whether the two of them have returned as well. Don't you think so, Nagi?]
[Shiranui Nagi: Shizuka, Samui… I see. The me in the screen probably went to deal with Jashin.]
[Mabui: Yes. The Land of Lightning isn't that far from the Land of Hot Water.]
[C: Jashin, huh? If the Jashin actually revived, that would be troublesome.]
[Hidan: No! Lord Jashin must not be blasphemed—! pfft!]
[Kakuzu: This brat fainted again.]
[The white screen lights up]
[Pain invades Konoha. The Leaf ninja resist bravely, but most of them are no match.]
[Pain VS Kakashi — Kakashi runs out of chakra and dies from exhaustion.]
[Danzō avoids the battle, waiting to reap the benefits.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Kakashi-sensei! And so many people died because of me… damn it! Pain! If you have a problem, come at me!]
[Kakashi Hatake: Calm down, Naruto. They were targeting you from the start. Besides, that's another world. In our world, Nagato has already been persuaded by Nagi.]
[Might Guy: Damn it!! What was I doing in that world?! My best friend sacrificed himself and I wasn't even there?!]
[Kakashi Hatake: Calm down, Guy. You might not have been in Konoha at the time in that world.]
[Shikaku Nara: I didn't expect Konoha in that world to be invaded… what a disaster.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzō, even at a time like this, the you from that world still wanted to become Hokage. That's very much your style.]
[Tsunade: Hmph. Luckily my Second Grandpa locked him up years ago. Otherwise, who knows what kind of internal chaos he'd cause.]
[Tobirama Senju: Danzō, behavior like yours has nothing to do with being Hokage.]
[Danzō Shimura: Teacher, I—]
[Hashirama Senju: Silence!]
Seeing Danzō sacrifice villagers for his own benefit enraged even Hashirama. Even if it was another world, it proved that Danzō truly had such intentions.
[Danzō Shimura: …]
[Yahiko: Fortunately, in our world Nagato already chose to follow Nagi's path. Otherwise, things would be troublesome.]
[Ōnoki: Still, the Six Paths of Pain are truly powerful. Konoha was overwhelmed so quickly.]
[Deidara: Of course! Without Nagi in that world, our leader could massacre everyone!]
Until…
[Pain VS Konohamaru — Konohamaru solo kill.]
"Remember this well! I am a genin of the Sarutobi Clan who bears the name of the village! My name is Sarutobi Konohamaru!"
[Deidara: ⊙?⊙! Am I seeing things? The Naraka Path got solo killed by a little brat?!]
[Nagato Uzumaki: That's another world's me.]
Nagato absolutely refused to acknowledge that as himself. The Naraka Path being defeated by a genin kid was simply too embarrassing.
[Asuma Sarutobi: Well done, Konohamaru.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Hmm… I didn't expect that brat from that world to grow this much.]
[Konohamaru Sarutobi: Hehehe! See, old man? Now you know how awesome I am! I'm Konohamaru! Hand over the Hokage seat already!]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Brat! I praised you twice and now you're getting cocky. Looks like you're asking for a beating.]
[The screen continues…]
Pain floats into the air.
"One sack of rice… how many floors must it be carried?
One sack of rice… carried to the second floor…
One sack of rice… so heavy…
One sack of rice… makes me wash it…"
"Shinra Tensei!"
Konoha is flattened into ruins.
[Ōnoki: So this is the power of the Rinnegan. Quite impressive.]
[Fourth Raikage A: Indeed. Very powerful.]
[Rasa: Very powerful.]
[Mei Terumi: Why do I feel like your tone doesn't match your words at all?]
[Ao: Well… after seeing Nagi and Six Paths–level battles so often…]
[C: It somehow feels… underwhelming.]
The shinobi world had already witnessed too many dazzling and overwhelmingly powerful techniques.
Now, Pain's Shinra Tensei seemed somewhat ordinary in comparison.
[Nagato: …]
Damn it.
My extremely chakra-consuming Super Shinra Tensei, and you people are actually looking down on it?!
[The screen continues…]
Naruto returns and battles Pain.
He is defeated and pinned down.
Hinata rushes forward to save him and confesses before collapsing.
Six-Tails Naruto battles the Deva Path.
"My animation budget is higher than yours!"
Pain uses Chibaku Tensei.
The Fourth Hokage appears.
Father and son reunite.
Naruto talks Nagato down.
Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.
Naruto becomes the hero of Konoha.
[Kushina Uzumaki: sob sob Our Naruto really had it tough… But Hinata, Auntie approves of you.]
[Hinata Hyuga: Th-thank you… Aunt Kushina…]
[Ino Yamanaka: Hinata, you're surprisingly bold~ Naruto, aren't you going to say something?]
[Sakura Haruno: Yeah, exactly.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Um… thank you, Hinata.]
[Hinata Hyuga: N-no… it's nothing, Naruto-kun. I… I…]
[Shizuka: Uh… Hinata is brave and strong, but…]
[Tenten: Something feels… off.]
[Karin Uzumaki: It's probably because we're used to the Hinata from that other world. Seeing this shy version feels strange.]
[Tsunade: True. I'm not used to it either. If it were that Hinata from the other world, she'd twist off the Deva Path's head and use it as a ball.]
[Hinata Hyuga: …]
[Minato Namikaze: I didn't expect Naruto's Sage Mode to be this powerful. Truly worthy of being my son.]
[Jiraiya: Exactly! I never thought you'd achieve Perfect Sage Mode. Even I couldn't do that.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Hehehe! Really? I'm that amazing in the future?]
[Madara Uchiha: Hmph. A Sage Mode learned from beasts… not even worth half of Uzumaki Naruko.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: …]
[Kurama: Hmph. Fourth Hokage, you bastard. You're still inside Naruto.]
[Minato Namikaze: Haha… just an extra safeguard.]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Hmph! Who told you to try and take our son's body back then?]
[Deidara: Wait, Leader… you just got talked to death by Naruto like that?]
[Nagato: Uh… well…]
Nagato himself was confused.
Did the version of him in that world really trust Naruto so easily… and then die after using Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique?
[Jiraiya: It's fine, Nagato. The you in that world chose to believe Naruto. Don't worry—Naruto there won't betray your expectations.]
But Nagato didn't respond.
[Nagato: Nagi, do you think the me from that world made the right choice trusting Naruto? After watching the previous videos of how you persuaded us… I have a bad feeling.]
[Konan: I feel the same way.]
[Shiranui Nagi: Sigh… the you in the video still didn't believe in your own strength. Entrusting the future of Amegakure to an outsider was a mistake from the start.
Naruto is a hot-blooded idiot. Someone with that personality is very easy to manipulate.
If something happened to Konan afterward, your Hidden Rain Village would become nothing more than fish on a chopping board.]
[Nagato: …Sigh. Then we can only hope nothing happens to Konan.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Hey! Nagi! What do you mean "hot-blooded idiot"? Am I really that untrustworthy?!]
[Sasuke Uchiha: You? Heh. The Nagato in that video must have had his brain knocked loose by you to entrust things to you.]
[Jiraiya: Hey, hey! Nagi, is trusting others really wrong?]
[Shiranui Nagi: Trusting others isn't usually wrong. But Nagato is the leader of a ninja village. What kind of leader entrusts their village to outsiders?]
[Ōnoki: Nagi is right. If I were in that situation, I would never allow outsiders to interfere with my village so easily.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Jiraiya… you're still too naive.]
[Jiraiya: …]
