An unpleasant gloom hung over Naruto. Sasuke pursed his lips and subconsciously tightened his palms. "Aren't you a hero of the Fourth Shinobi World War? And a popular candidate to become the Seventh Hokage? It's normal for you to be liked, isn't it?"
These words were like a gentle breeze, lightly blowing away the shadows on Naruto's face.
"It means that in the future, everyone will acknowledge me!" he murmured, staring at the light screen as if he could see his bright future reflected on it.
“But it doesn’t feel real.” He scratched his whiskers, looking like a restless cat. “The future me isn’t me either.”
"Hmph, who knows? Anyway, to me, you're just a stupid loser."
"What did you say? You stinky Sasuke!"
Sasuke seemed to have a natural talent for manipulating Naruto's emotions, easily pulling him back to the present reality, and the lively and vivid expression reappeared on the blond boy's face.
Kakashi, who was resting his chin on his hand, looked more relieved.
Gaara, sitting opposite them, gently raised his eyelids and glanced at the two who were grabbing each other's collars and yelling at each other.
Noisy, hostile, yet subtly close.
His eyes were filled with inquiry and curiosity, almost overflowing. Why could Naruto Uzumaki, also a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, laugh so carefree?
Was it because he was in the Pure Land, yet still missed his parents? Or was it because he constantly thought about his teacher? Or perhaps it was the boy who often argued with him?
He stared blankly at Naruto Uzumaki, like a botanist staring at a mutated little plant, filled with a pure desire to study it.
[Player 3 (50L): It's me, hehehe! I'm still in the womb, an embryo. It's so warm! I can even hear the Fourth Hokage and his wife talking.]
"What the hell?" Naruto was unhappy, as if his identity had been stolen, but he still stared intently at the screen, wanting to know what his parents would say to him, who was still a fetus.
(Uchiha Mikoto: Can you still experience the feeling of being in the womb? That 'empathy' is amazing.)
(Fugaku Uchiha: It's practically like a genjutsu.)
(Tobirama Senju: It's hard to say whether this is truly a game created by incorporating illusion techniques.)
(Uchiha Izuna: A genjutsu that covers the entire ninja world? How many ninjas would that require to operate? How is that possible?!)
The casual question and answer between the two made both Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha narrow their eyes.
Such a large-scale genjutsu, capable of covering the entire ninja world, should only be possible with Infinite Tsukuyomi.
In later online forums, Obito Uchiha was called a war criminal, while Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were called heroes of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
It's clear that the Fourth World War is over, and everyone is gradually starting a happy new life.
Could it be that the blissful life shown on the celestial screen is the future in the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
"No, that's not right." Madara immediately rejected the conclusion. He couldn't seem to create such a future with his imagination.
Anyway, he had never thought that ninjas could go on some so-called 'forum', chat with people from different ninja villages, and care about the Hokage's love life without any sense of boundaries.
I never imagined that a ninja academy could be so beautiful, or that ninjas could do jobs other than escorting and killing.
I never imagined that ninjas could play games in their spare time!
Therefore, there is only one conclusion: those guys in later generations used Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a game!
Damn! Why is he so upset?!
Obito Uchiha reacted faster than Madara, after all, in the new world he wanted to create, there was Kakashi, Rin, Obito, his teacher, and Kushina, all living happily.
The future in the sky could not be the Infinite Tsukuyomi he created, nor could it be the old man's creation. How could there be no Hashirama Senju in the old man's new world, and no younger brother of his?
"Damn it, they actually used Infinite Tsukuyomi in the game!" He gritted his teeth and stared at the sky, feeling extremely resentful. Why was that good-for-nothing unwilling to enter the new world of Infinite Tsukuyomi?
They could have easily obtained happiness.
(Naruto Uzumaki: What will Mom and Dad say?)
(Kushina Uzumaki: Was it during your pregnancy? You've said a lot.)
(Minato Namikaze: Yeah, Kushina was not only talkative back then, but she was also very worried about Naruto's future. She would touch her belly every day and mutter about the three forbidden ninjas. Sometimes she would also talk about how we met. In short, she seemed to have endless things to say.)
Minato smiled. It seemed that many of Kushina's worries had come true. As expected of a mother.
A deep longing welled up in his eyes; those happy days, just thinking about them brought a genuine smile to his face.
[51L: I'm genuinely envious, bro, come livestream for everyone!]
[52L: What are they talking about? I'm so curious. What are the personalities of the Fourth Hokage and his wife?]
[Player 3 (53L): Livestream link.]
The link was automatically clicked, and the live stream started.
So the screen split in two, one side showing the forum feed, and the other showing Player 3's game livestream.
[The game scene takes place in the Fourth Generation's house, a small but cozy house with baby supplies scattered throughout, and even the corners of the tables are covered with protective foam.]
(Kushina Uzumaki: Although the house layouts are slightly different, the details are almost identical!)
(Minato Namikaze: Yeah, Kushina and I were a bit flustered at the time. We had just been diagnosed with the baby when we went on a big shopping spree and bought a lot of things the baby could use.)
Naruto sniffled, a pool of clear water welling up in his azure eyes, which he quickly wiped away. He had decided to face the future properly, to stop crying and to stop dwelling on the past.
Knowing that his parents were so excited about his birth made him very happy.
[Inside, Kushina sat on the sofa, smiling as she looked at her husband, who was nestled against her round belly. She reached out and stroked Minato's blond hair, a happy smile on her face.]
"Is that guy the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki?" In Kumogakure, Killer Bee excitedly started rapping, the lyrics of which were basically a praise of that woman.
It's rare to see someone who, as a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, can smile so happily.
[The scene shifts, and Jiraiya appears in their house. Minato mentions the child's name and decides to name him after the protagonist of Jiraiya's novel, "The Tale of the Strong-Willed Ninja."]
"Hehe!" Naruto chuckled and scratched his head, then took out the "The Story of the Indomitable Ninja" that he always carried with him, waved it at Sasuke, and grinned like a cunning fox. "Sasuke, would you like to take a look at this masterpiece by the Perverted Sage?"
"The main character in this story has the same name as me."
Sasuke turned his head away in disgust, "You can tell from the title that it's a boring book."
“You have no appreciation skills at all!” He pressed his cheek against the book, his chubby face squished into a small ball, his eyes filled with fascination. “The main character in it is super cool.”
Chapter 79 Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts (4) Do you want to experience being blown up by Obito?
"Tch~" Sasuke was very disdainful, but his bright black eyes stared at Naruto for a few more seconds, and he secretly memorized the name of that boring book.
[54L: Wow! I saw Gouketsu Jiraiya!]
[55L: My eyes are getting hot. I want to urge for more updates to "Make-Out Paradise" again, but unfortunately, that will only happen after I die.]
[56L: After reading the previous sentence, I thought you were going to get sentimental, but...]
"Hahaha, I never thought that after I died, everyone would miss my 'Make-Out Paradise'!" Jiraiya laughed loudly, a tear welling up in the corner of his eye. "I still prefer the name 'Hero.'"
Well, as a ninja, if you only have one low-grade erotic novel that people remember, that's really a failure.
[57L: The newly released movie "The Hero Jiraiya" is amazing! I miss Jiraiya-sama so much!]
[58L: The scene where he says goodbye to the Fifth Hokage was so heartbreaking. The Fifth Hokage won his first gamble, but lost to Jiraiya.]
Konoha Hospital.
Tsunade, who was trying to rebuild her body, had just picked up a scalpel when she saw this sentence. Her hand trembled, and with two clinking sounds, the scalpel immediately fell back into the plate.
She slumped down, tilted her head back, covered her eyes with her hands, and let out a long sigh. She wanted to drink again.
[59L: That despicable Pain! How dare he lay a hand on his own teacher! You're not human!]
"Payne?"
"teacher?"
The ninjas in the Hokage's office exclaimed in surprise in unison. The last sentence was shouted by Jiraiya. His mind quickly flashed through his disciples. Apart from Minato and Naruto, there were only three disciples he had taken in from the Land of Rain: Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
Pain is the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and according to the latest intelligence he received, Pain is in the Land of Rain.
Which of the three will Payne be?
While Jiraiya was in a daze, he also felt a little happy, which meant that the news of the three deaths he received on the battlefield was false.
But what exactly led them astray?
"Does Jiraiya-sama have a clue?" Shikaku and the others looked at Jiraiya.
"Hmm." Jiraiya nodded, informed the Second Hokage and Shikaku about the three disciples, and applied to go to the Land of Rain to gather intelligence, and if possible, bring back Itachi Uchiha as well.
Tobirama gave him a deep look. "You will die. The future has already been shown. Even if you are my disciple, Pain will not show you any mercy."
"Hahaha," Jiraiya said with a nonchalant attitude towards death, "There are some things that have to be done, it's my responsibility."
"But don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill." He stood up, walked out, and waved behind him. "Also, please tell Tsunade for me not to gamble this time."
If a disciple goes astray, it is the master's responsibility to correct him. If the master cannot correct him, then at least he, the master, should guide him to a better life.
*
Payne remained completely unfazed when he saw his name appear above.
They have already begun their operation.
Watching Nagato (Pain) walk away, Konan felt a moment of complicated emotions, after all, he had killed Jiraiya, their teacher.
It seems that Jiraiya-sama will not approve of their path... but... it doesn't matter anymore.
For Konan now, Nagato's ideal is her ideal, and anyone who hinders them from realizing their ideal is a stumbling block to be removed.
Teachers are no exception.
After Yahiko's death, they lost their former innocence and naivety. They realized that peace could not be achieved without bloodshed.
[60L: Payne was definitely not human.]
Nagato's heart skipped a beat. Was this damn screen about to reveal information?
Deidara, who had gone with Sasori to capture the tailed beasts, looked at the sky and nodded. "The leader said he's a god, hmm!"
[61L: Payne: I am God!]
[62L: "Let the world feel pain, Shinra Tensei!"]
[63L: The man who destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village with a single move.]
[64L: The man who made Konoha's horizon drop by ten meters!]
(Hashirama Senju: So strong! So why did you destroy Konoha? What grudge did you have against Konoha?)
