[Ōnoki: So this is the resurrection technique Nagi mentioned… the one Nagato used. Truly impressive.]
[Hashirama Senju: Madara, it seems this is the technique you planned to use to revive yourself.]
[Madara Uchiha: That's right. But the brat Nagato from that world actually used Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique on Konoha. Forget it. With that bastard Black Zetsu around, whether I revive or not hardly matters.]
[Tobirama Senju: You're surprisingly open-minded about it.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: So the me from that world became Konoha's hero… I'm kind of jealous.]
[Deidara: What, you want to fight our leader too?]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Not really. I just think… being acknowledged by everyone in the village must feel great.]
Although the Third Hokage had revealed Naruto's identity years ago, Naruto still felt a subtle barrier between himself and the villagers.
[Minato Namikaze: Naruto, you don't need to think that way. In your mother's and my eyes, you're the best.]
[Kushina Uzumaki: That's right!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Hehehe.]
[The screen continues…]
The Five Kage Summit. Sasuke gets beaten repeatedly. Sasuke kills Danzō.
Obito declares the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Killer B VS Kisame.
Naruto trains on Turtle Island, battles the Nine-Tails, meets his mother, and awakens Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
Kabuto Yakushi forms an alliance with Obito.
Might Guy VS Kisame — Kisame proves himself a true warrior.
Konan VS Obito. Six hundred billion Explosive Tags. Konan is killed. Obito obtains the Rinnegan and replaces his mask with the White Mask.
Obito and Kabuto launch the Fourth Shinobi World War.
[The white screen ends.]
[Mei Terumi: That was… a lot of information.]
[Ōnoki: The Five Kage Summit… and Obito actually declared war?]
[Fourth Raikage A: A war to protect Killer B and Naruto Uzumaki.]
[Tobirama Senju: Danzō, your fight with Sasuke was quite something.]
[Tsunade: Stabbing Susanoo with a kunai, using Izanagi like extra lives, and in the end you even sealed an entire bridge. You're really something.]
[Ōnoki: Hiruzen and Danzō truly have great teamwork. One seals a pair of hands, the other seals an entire bridge.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: …]
[Danzō Shimura: …]
[Kurama: Damn it, Kushina! I didn't expect you to appear too.]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Of course. When our son needs help, how could we parents just stand by?]
[Kurama: Damn you! Your whole family has been scheming against me from the start, haven't you?!]
[Deidara: So the Kisame from that world died too?]
[Kakuzu: Choosing suicide to protect intelligence… he's a real man.]
[Itachi Uchiha: Well done, Kisame.]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: It's nothing. Besides, that was the me from another world, Itachi-san.]
[Might Guy: Hoshigaki Itachi! I'll remember your name!]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: You ridiculous beast! You even got my name wrong!]
[Might Guy: Hahaha, sorry about that. I'll remember you too—Uchiha Kisame!]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: …]
[Orochimaru: Kabuto, I didn't expect the you from that world to cooperate with Obito.]
[Kabuto Yakushi: I was probably trying to prove my own worth. Looking at it now, that version of me really lived an empty life.]
[Mei Terumi: Holy—! How many graves did you rob?! That's so many Reanimations!]
[Ōnoki: And most of them are powerful shinobi… wait, did you even reanimate the Kage of each village?!]
[Kabuto Yakushi: I'm not sure. For the first couple of years Orochimaru and I kept drawing lots for experiments. In the later years, according to my memory, we didn't rob any graves anymore.]
[Rasa: With so many Edo Tensei shinobi and a hundred thousand White Zetsu, this war won't be easy.]
[Tsunade: Now I understand why Nagi paid so much attention to Kabuto. That Edo Tensei army is truly troublesome.]
[Kakashi Hatake: Fortunately that's another world. But even if it happened in our world, it wouldn't matter. With Nagi and the others around, that reanimation army wouldn't be enough for them to fight.]
[Nagato: Obito! You bastard!! You actually killed Konan!]
[Yahiko: Damn it! I won't forgive you!]
[Obito Uchiha: Hmph. That was the version of me in the white-screen world. What does that have to do with me?]
[Nagato: Doesn't that mean you still have the same intentions?!]
[Obito Uchiha: Hmph. Once the screen ends, you're welcome to come at me.]
[Konan: I'm actually curious how Nagi will deal with you.]
[Obito Uchiha: …]
[The red screen lights up]
Nadeshiko Village – Village Chief's Office
Shizuka was reviewing reports sent by her subordinates when she suddenly sensed something.
Opening the drawer of her desk, she discovered that Nagi's Flying Thunder God kunai was emitting a chakra response.
Understanding immediately, Shizuka infused her chakra into the kunai in response.
In the next instant—
Nagi appeared in the office.
"Nagi!"
Seeing the man she loved, Shizuka rushed forward without hesitation and hugged him.
Nagi quickly reacted, gently stroking her hair.
"Shizuka… we're back."
"Mhm."
With the warm atmosphere between them, the two naturally shared a kiss.
…
Afterward, Shizuka handed Nagi a document.
"Nagi, this is the intelligence I gathered from spies I sent to Yugakure."
Nagi froze for a moment.
Shizuka smiled.
"After being with you for so many years, if I didn't even understand what my boyfriend was trying to do, then I'd be a pretty incompetent girlfriend."
Hearing this, Nagi felt warmth in his heart.
"Thank you, Shizuka."
Shizuka shook her head with a cheerful smile.
"I'm happy if I can help you."
Nagi picked up the file and began reading. Soon, his brows furrowed.
"The Land of Grass, the Land of Demons, and the ruins of Kūin Village…"
"Yes. According to my village's reports, some mentally unstable people from Yugakure frequently travel to these places," Shizuka explained.
Hearing this, Nagi closed his eyes in thought.
His brows tightened.
"This is bad."
"What's wrong?"
Shizuka asked worriedly. With Nagi's current strength, very few things should trouble him.
"The Land of Demons, the Land of Grass, the former Kūin Village… they all share something in common."
"And that is?"
"They each contain evil entities or demonic forces."
"Demonic forces?"
"Yes. The demon sealed in the Land of Demons, the evil creature we dealt with earlier in the Land of Grass, and in the ruins of Kūin Village… Shinno might still be hiding there, along with the Zero-Tails."
"These beings represent the 'evil' of this world. If they're combined with Jashin…"
"The consequences could be unimaginable."
A very bad premonition formed in Nagi's heart.
Shizuka immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
"Nagi, we shouldn't waste time. Let's depart right away."
"Right."
"Tokoyo."
"Yes."
A female ninja suddenly appeared inside the office.
She looked at Nagi with surprise. She had been guarding the door the entire time—how had he entered?
Shizuka issued her orders.
"Tokoyo, Nagi and I will be leaving for a while. I'll leave things here to you."
"Yes, Village Chief."
So this is the man Lady Shizuka has always been thinking about…
Just as Tokoyo finished responding—
Shizuka and Nagi vanished instantly.
