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

Sakura Haruno stepped forward, passing Naruto with his back to the others, so they wouldn't see her expression.

"I'm sorry, I..." Sakura Haruno's clumsy acting didn't fool Naruto Uzumaki, who said with a hint of sadness.

"The weather's nice today, let's open the curtains!" Sakura Haruno interrupted Naruto, changing the subject instead.

After saying that, Sakura Haruno drew back the curtains and opened the closed window!

Neither Shikamaru nor Tsunade spoke; how could they, with their intelligence, not see through Sakura Haruno's feelings?

"Sakura, I will keep my promise. I said it was a promise for life."

Naruto quickly explained!

Unable to bring back his best friend had already left Naruto Uzumaki extremely frustrated, but he still had to pull himself together and comfort his teammates!

"That's enough, Naruto!" Sakura Haruno said, looking out the window.

"Sakura, this guy! Nara Shikamaru is trying to explain things to Naruto."

"I always say it, I will never go back on my word, because that is my ninja way."

Naruto interrupted Shikamaru's explanation, revealing a long-lost smile as he spoke.

Upon hearing Naruto's words, everyone who had been wearing a serious expression broke into smiles!

"Sigh! Isn't Naruto being a little too considerate?"

"That's right! He's the one who needs comforting the most right now! Instead, we have to suppress our own sadness and comfort others!"

"That's right, he should be the most unhappy person because he can't handle Uchiha Sasuke. He even got seriously injured because of it!"

"Sigh! Let's keep watching the video! Maybe it's because of this personality that he's able to save the ninja world later on!"

In the video, Jiraiya reappears and tells Naruto about the Akatsuki era. Having experienced Orochimaru's defection, he doesn't want Naruto to repeat his mistakes and even threatens not to guide Naruto's training!

"If you're going to chase after Sasuke, then disregard what I said about training earlier. I'll have the Anbu keep an eye on you, and depending on the situation, I might even forbid you from leaving Konoha."

Jiraiya's words startled Naruto!

"You're not just an ordinary brat; you're the nine-tailed fox that Akatsuki has his eye on. Let's stick to the facts. If you don't listen to me and act recklessly, this is the only thing I can do."

Jiraiya continued with a serious expression:

"One day, you'll have to face an enemy even more formidable than Orochimaru. Just give up on Sasuke then; you'll face that fate sooner or later anyway! Stop suffering, forget it all, abandon it all! It's not just about ninjutsu and strength; a ninja needs to cultivate the ability to make correct judgments and choices! To survive as a ninja, you need to be smarter! If you're a fool, life will be very difficult in reality!"

Jiraiya spoke at length, perhaps trying to persuade Naruto, or perhaps trying to persuade himself!

"I understand!" Naruto listened quietly to Jiraiya's words: "If being smart means this, then let me be stupid for the rest of my life!"

Naruto said with a serious expression:

"I can come up with even more powerful ninjutsu all by myself. I will definitely go and save Sasuke! And then, and then, I will take down the Akatsuki!"

Naruto got more and more excited as he talked!

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and remained silent for a long time.

"Someone like you, even if you did it alone, would only come up with some boring, erotic ninjutsu anyway."

Jiraiya stood up and continued:

"You're a bit slow, but if you're a complete idiot, you might actually amount to something. Prepare yourself after you're discharged, you big idiot!"

The screen then slowly dimmed...

Chapter Seventy-One: The Past

"Hey, wait a minute, the Akatsuki they're talking about, could it be our organization?!"

Yahiko, far away in Amegakure, looked at the video with a bewildered expression and asked!

"It's probably just a coincidence of names! We founded Xiao to change the country and build a bridge of hope to world peace through communication between people!"

Nagato thought for a moment and said, "It's probably not the same Akatsuki that Jiraiya-sensei mentioned."

At this time, the Akatsuki organization was fighting for the peace of the ninja world. What they didn't know was that after Yahiko died in the future, Nagato's personality changed drastically, which led to Akatsuki becoming the organization Jiraiya mentioned. Of course, everything has changed now. Danzo has been controlled by Obito, and Obito didn't scheme against Akatsuki. If nothing unexpected happens, Yahiko won't die a tragic death!

"How about we go to Konoha and take a look? I'm really curious about my junior brother, Naruto Uzumaki!" Konan said after thinking for a moment. "We can also visit Jiraiya-sensei while we're at it, and ask him about that Akatsuki he mentioned."

“Great! I support Konan’s suggestion. We haven’t seen Jiraiya-sensei in a long time, and to be honest, we really miss him!” Yahiko immediately agreed.

"Alright... Now that the ninja world is suddenly so peaceful, we don't have much to do!" Nagato nodded, agreeing with Konan's suggestion.

So the three of them set off for Konoha!

"Jiraiya, no wonder you said we and Sasuke are different from Naruto!" Orochimaru said in a strange tone as he watched the video.

"If Naruto gave up as easily as you, the ninja world would be doomed."

"Hmph..." Jiraiya snorted coldly, not giving Orochimaru a direct answer!

"That girl who's with Sakura Haruno, in the world of the memory orb, she must be Sasuke's wife!" Fugaku Uchiha said suddenly after thinking for a long time after watching the video.

"How do you know?" Minato, the only one present who knew the truth, asked curiously!

“Although I’ve only seen Sasuke a few times on video, he is, after all, my son, and I can roughly guess what kind of personality he has!” said Fugaku Uchiha.

By this time, Kakashi had already told Itachi and Shisui everything, so he returned to the Hokage Building and happened to overhear Fugaku's words!

As Sasuke's teacher, Kakashi knew Sasuke quite well, so he was also very interested in what Fugaku was saying!

"Could you elaborate?" Kakashi asked!

“Sasuke is a person who lives in the past. As a child, he had a kind heart, which was the happiest time of his life. Later, his clan suffered a great change, and his personality also changed drastically, but his kind side still exists!” Fugaku Uchiha said!

"Could you be more specific?" The people inside the Hokage Building were completely confused and couldn't understand at all!

"Sasuke had a happy childhood with his family still alive. He lived his most authentic life during that time, so what we see is an optimistic and kind Sasuke!"

Later, a major upheaval occurred in his family, and he became an avenger. At this time, his kindness was suppressed deep in his heart, and his mind was filled with nothing but revenge!

Later, persuaded by Naruto, he returned to Konoha. At this time, he was thinking of atonement, and his kind side reappeared.

"You mean Sasuke will marry Sakura Haruno to atone for his sins?"

Nara Shikaku and the others don't have any memories of marriage, so they don't know who Sasuke's wife is!

"Yes, I heard a lot about Sasuke from the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi. Back then, Sasuke did many things that harmed the ninja world in order to seek revenge. Although he returned to Konoha later, the mistakes he made did not disappear just because he returned to Konoha. Given his personality, he will definitely make amends!"

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Although Fugaku Uchiha had only seen Sasuke a few times on video, he had already analyzed Sasuke's personality to a great extent based on the information provided by Kakashi and Minato!

"Sacrificing one's life's most important event to atone for sins? That's unlikely, isn't it?" Lin said, somewhat skeptical.

“For Sasuke, from the moment he decided to return to Konoha, the rest of his life was destined to be spent in atonement. It doesn’t matter to Sasuke who he marries. Perhaps there is affection between them, but more than that, it is Sasuke’s guilt towards Sakura Haruno!” Fugaku Uchiha said!

Minato nodded secretly. According to Kakashi, before Sasuke returned to Konoha, he had tried to kill Sakura Haruno more than once, even though Sakura had always loved him deeply. He showed her no mercy. Minato didn't believe they would get married back then!

But according to Naruto, they later became husband and wife, which puzzled Minato. After hearing Fugaku's explanation today, Minato understood a little!

"If they were a couple in the memory sphere, would you try to bring them together in this life?" Minato asked tentatively.

Fugaku thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Why?" Minato asked!

"If Sasuke married Sakura Haruno to atone for his sins, then his sins have already been atoned in the Light Sphere world! He owes no one anything in this life, so he can truly live for himself!"

Fugaku Uchiha continued, "Of course, if the two of them have feelings for each other, they don't need me to bring them together at all!"

Minato nodded. The things of the past life cannot be applied to this life. Both Minato and Naruto, who used the Rinne Reincarnation technique, understood this very well. Just like Fugaku said, how to live this life is one's own choice, and no one else can control it!

"Kakashi, not only Sasuke, but I also hope that in this life, you can live your own life!"

Minato looked at Kakashi and said!

Sasuke Uchiha wasn't the only one who lived through the past; wasn't Kakashi also living through the past in his previous life?

His father committed suicide, his best friend died to save him, the girl who liked him was killed by his own hands, and his teacher and his wife both died tragically on the same day!

Why does Kakashi favor Sasuke? Is it really not because they share a similar plight?

Apart from Sakumo Hatake's suicide, nothing else has happened in this life, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, nothing else will happen. Therefore, Minato hopes that Kakashi can also create his own wonderful life!

Kakashi was well aware of his teacher's good intentions. After a long silence, Kakashi revealed his signature smile...

Chapter 72 A Day in the Minato Family

Seeing Kakashi's smile, everyone in the Hokage Building breathed a sigh of relief!

No one wants their loved ones to be bound to the past, and Minato is no exception!

"So, shall we continue playing or what?" Kushina asked!

"Forget it! Judging by the time, the people from the other villages should arrive in Konoha tomorrow. Let's make some preparations!" Minato said after thinking for a moment.

The five great ninja villages need to send some professionals to the Land of Snow to help develop chakra armor. This was decided beforehand. Since they had just established diplomatic relations with the Land of Snow, the five great ninja villages couldn't just force people on them. So they decided to gather the relevant talents in Konoha and let the Daimyo of the Land of Snow personally select them after he came to Konoha!

Judging by the time, the people from the other ninja villages should arrive tomorrow, so Minato needs to do some preparations!

Seeing that everyone was about to get down to business, Kushina and Rin went back first! These things were for Minato and the others to worry about, and Kushina was happy to have some peace and quiet!

Do you think Naruto will end up with Sakura Haruno?

"No way! Naruto already has the princess of the Land of Snow, how could he possibly be interested in Sakura Haruno!"

"That's hard to say. If a boy did so much for you, wouldn't you be moved?"
