The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

"Naruto-kun, I'm sorry, I didn't know them today..." 9.

Chapter 267 Thank you, Naruto

Most of the people in the timber industry have left.

Only a few of Naruto's closest friends and Kakashi Hatake remained!

Seeing that she finally had a chance to talk to Naruto, Hinata Hyuga immediately stepped forward!

However, she was interrupted by Naruto Uzumaki halfway through her sentence:

"Hinata, I know this has nothing to do with you. If you knew, you would definitely choose to believe me!"

Naruto patted Hinata's head and said with a smile.

When Hinata saw Naruto touch her head, her face first turned red, then steam rose from her cheeks, and then she fainted.

"Hinata, hey, Hinata, are you alright...?"

Upon seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki immediately panicked.

"What an idiot! I don't know why, in the videos, he's always the first person I think of in a crisis!"

Sakura Haruno rolled her eyes at him, then slowly walked over and began to treat Hinata!

At this moment, Sakura Haruno was treating Hinata Hyuga with her hands, but she was constantly thinking about the last words she said in the video.

"Sakura, don't worry, no matter what I choose in the end, I will never let what happened in the video happen to you!"

Naruto Uzumaki knew Sakura Haruno very well.

As soon as he saw her expression, Naruto roughly guessed what she was thinking!

Sakura Haruno immediately looked up when her thoughts were seen through.

However, when she saw Naruto Uzumaki's bright smile, she suddenly felt an urge to cry!

She has always taken Naruto's existence for granted!

I should take his protection for granted, I should be willful towards him for granted, and I should entrust everything to him for granted!

Whether it's Team 7, Konoha, or the Ninja World.

She always thought this sense of entitlement would continue until the very end.

However, it wasn't until the video surfaced that she realized he was just a peer of her age.

Although he emitted light and dispelled everyone's darkness.

However, no one illuminated the darkness within his own heart.

The more Sakura Haruno thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt for the boy in front of her!

In her heart, she thought of many grand words and beautiful phrases to reassure him, to let him choose without worry, but in the end, only five short words came out:

"Thank you, Naruto!!!"

"Hey..."

Yamanaka Ino, who was standing nearby, saw the reactions of her friend and Naruto Uzumaki.

To be honest, she was a little jealous of her best friend.

After all, who wouldn't want the person who secretly loves them to be a hero? Who wouldn't want someone to help them through thick and thin when they're lost and helpless? And who wouldn't want someone to risk their life to save them when they're in danger?

"If there's one flower that's most suitable for Naruto, it's definitely the sunflower!"

Yamanaka Ino spoke in a low voice, a voice only she could hear.

The sunflower's flower head faces one goal, always revolving around the sun. No matter where the sun goes, it follows it, just like Naruto, who keeps chasing his dream.

On the other hand, Sunflower's words are a silent expression of love, just like his love for the timber industry and those around him. He always expresses his love directly through his actions, and even though he is covered in wounds, he has never regretted it! He didn't even tell the other party afterward.

"You are truly someone I can't bring myself to hate!"

After saying that, Ino Yamanaka squatted down to help take care of Hinata!

"Naruto, are you confident about tomorrow's battle?"

Nara Shikamaru looked at his best friend and asked!

Shikamaru had actually thought about today's events countless times.

He believed that if given a little time, he could definitely come up with a better solution.

Unfortunately, sometimes things can't be controlled just because you're smart enough!

Since the mistake has already been made, he is not one to back down.

Therefore, he came here with a guilty conscience!

"I don't know. Obito and Madara are both very strong, but I believe they won't hurt me!"

Naruto Uzumaki paused for a moment, then slowly replied, "0..."

"Yes, I believe that. They went to great lengths to establish your authority, so you can't let them down tomorrow!"

Shikamaru pointed at Kabuto Yakushi and Obito Uchiha and said!

"Establish authority, what does that mean?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Shikamaru Nara with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Naruto, you..."

Kakashi Hatake looked at his disciple with a hint of helplessness, and then explained:

“Obito and Kabuto, as they introduced themselves, were the initiators of the Fourth Shinobi World War!”

How could someone like that possibly argue over something so trivial!

"Yes, so they must have had a purpose in doing this!"

Nara Shikamaru, responding to Hatake Kakashi's words, said:

"Based on what happened today, I suspect they want to give you a chance to establish your authority in the ninja world!"

And establishing authority is the best opportunity to demonstrate strength!

"Once you're strong enough, everyone will have to consider your abilities!"

"So, that's how it is!"

After Nara Shikamaru explained, everyone finally realized what was going on!

"Thank you, Kabuto, Obito!"

Naruto looked at the two of them gratefully and said!

"Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. We should be the ones expressing our gratitude!"

Faced with Naruto's gratitude, Obito and Kabuto looked embarrassed and said...

"Hmph, they did it on purpose, but I'm innocent!"

At this moment, Madara Uchiha, who had been innocently dragged into the mess, snorted coldly!

"Innocent my foot! If it weren't for us, you'd still be limping around in your old, faded body, waiting for the Uchiha to hang themselves!"

Obito Uchiha rolled his eyes at him and said without any politeness!

"you..."

Just as Madara Uchiha was about to erupt in anger, Obito interrupted him:

"What, you're not satisfied? Then tomorrow, you can show no mercy!"

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me, I can do it too. You can just prepare to end up in the hospital!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest.

"Kakashi, is there something you want to ask?"

Chapter 268 Gathering—Before the Battle Begins

Minato, who was standing to the side, looked at Kakashi Hatake's hesitant expression and asked.

"Minato-sensei, Kushina-nee, I..."

Kakashi Hatake opened his mouth, his expression somewhat complicated.

He, who was always eloquent, probably never imagined that he would one day be unable to speak!

"I understand, Kakashi. It must have been tough for you all these years, leaving you here all alone!"

Kushina walked out with a smile on her face, and just as she was about to reach Kakashi Hatake, she punched him and sent him flying into the ceiling!

"Damn it, do you think I would say that?"

"You idiot, how could you come up with such a strategy to trick my son? Are you asking for a beating?"

Meanwhile, in the world of Minato, Kakashi suddenly sensed a murderous aura.

But when he looked around, he found nothing unusual.

"It must be my fault! Kushina and Minato aren't here right now, so there shouldn't be any danger!"

But then, the image of Yamato's miserable state suddenly flashed into his mind.
