Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

[Next, the fourth good thing.]

Neji longed for freedom since childhood, but as a member of the Hyuga branch family, he could never escape the control of the Caged Bird Seal.

[It wasn't until the Fourth Shinobi World War that Obito learned Neji longed to fly freely like a bird.]

[Thus, Obito, who loved doing good deeds, directly helped Neji fulfill this lifelong wish.]

Under the sky,

Everyone across all timelines filtered out the noise and directly combined it with the information from earlier, specifically Neji's death during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It seems Neji will be killed by Obito in the future.

As for the caged bird, once the person dies, the caged bird is gone, so for Neji, that can be considered freedom.

Konoha Village, in the territory of the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga stood in the courtyard, staring at the words on the sky, completely frozen in place.

"Neji was killed by Obito?"

On the other side...

Neji Hyuga's expression was eerily calm.

He touched the headband on his forehead and said with relief.

"I see."

Standing next to him every day, my eyes were already red.

"Neji..."

Rock Lee clenched his fists, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

"That Obito!! How could he!!"

Hyuga Neji suddenly laughed, muttering to himself.

"Freedom, though not the kind of freedom that comes from being alive."

Lee Rock was stunned.

"Neji... what are you saying?"

Neji shook his head, his voice soft.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the only way for a caged bird to be free is to die."

[Finally, the fifth good thing was that on Naruto's birthday, they managed to gather all the prominent figures in the ninja world.]

"Gather all the important figures in the entire ninja world?? On Naruto's birthday??"

On the streets of Konoha, a villager nearly choked to death on his own saliva.

"Isn't that the Fourth Shinobi World War?!"

"You tell me, aren't all the important people here?"

"It seems...it really is!"

After learning about Naruto's dream, Obito wanted to help Naruto create a stage for him to realize it.

Therefore, he decided to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War, uniting all the shinobi villages against him.

Then let Naruto become a great hero of the ninja world.

After that, Naruto became Hokage, and the ninja world enjoyed several decades of peace.

This shows that Obito was an absolutely good person; he never sought anything in return for his good deeds.

[I only wish to quietly contribute to the ninja world and help everyone who encounters difficulties.]

"Am I a good person?"

At this moment, seeing what the sky has said.

Obito was completely bewildered.

At this moment, the expression beneath his mask was completely numb.

To be honest, even if he wrote it himself, he couldn't achieve the same effect as Nassar.

Hidden Cloud Village.

The roar of the Fourth Raikage, A, reverberated throughout the street.

"He started the Fourth Shinobi World War!! How many people died!! And then Tenbu says it was to help Naruto realize his dream?!"

"This canopy has better be saying the opposite of what it means!!!"

In the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

Tsunade propped her forehead up with one hand, utterly exasperated.

"I think I've figured it out now. The Nassar Research Institute in Kumogakure is a place that specializes in researching lame jokes."

In Amegakure, Nagato sat in a wheelchair, looking at the words on the sky and slowly spoke.

"The Nassar Research Institute of Cloud Hidden is indeed a very interesting organization."

Xiao Nan stood behind him, her face full of speechlessness.

"Nagato, you really believed that?"

Nagato coughed and then shook his head.

"They are mocking Obito."

"But the sarcasm was quite skillful."

The text on the screen continued to change.

Was Neji's death fateful or a plot device? Why did destiny insist on killing him off?

Under the sky,

Hyuga Neji tilted his head back, his white eyes filled with a sigh.

"So my death was to advance a certain plot point?"

He lowered his eyes, his fingers slowly clenching in his sleeve.

"Is the mission of separating from the family... ultimately inescapable?"

And the Hyuga residence.

In one corner of the branch family, several young Hyuga branch family children were huddled together.

"Even a genius like Neji died protecting the main branch of the family in the end...?"

"Then we..."

[During the Fourth Shinobi World War, although Neji's death was ostensibly to protect his comrades, he was in reality fulfilling the mission of the branch family.]

Neji's death was fate's way of bringing Naruto and Hinata together.

These words caused an uproar in the Konoha training ground.

Naruto Uzumaki froze on the spot.

"Wait, wait, wait! What? Neji has to die just to bring Hinata and me together?!"

He scratched his head, his expression shifting from shock to confusion, and then from confusion to a complex, indescribable discomfort.

"This...this is ridiculous! Does that mean I won't talk to Hinata unless Neji dies?"

On the other side, Hinata's face was already red to her ears, but this time, she didn't faint.

She clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes slightly red, and her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"If... if that's really the case... then I'd rather never be with Naruto-kun than with Neji-nii-san..."

Before she could finish speaking, tears began to fall.

The Hokage's office.

Jiraiya stood by the window, his hands resting on the windowsill, his expression very serious.

"I've met Neji a few times; he's a very serious kid."

"His death was to push Naruto to grow, which is just too cruel."

During Pain's invasion, Hinata confessed her feelings to Naruto, and from then on, Naruto developed feelings for Hinata.

But here's the problem: Naruto only ever liked Sakura in the early stages, so how do we connect that?

Thus, Neji's death during the Fourth Shinobi World War became the catalyst for Naruto's descent into darkness.

[Let Hinata slap Naruto again to wake him up and pull him back from the brink of turning evil.]

Itachi Uchiha sat in the corner.

He knew better than anyone what it felt like to be controlled by fate.

He personally turned his life into a meticulously designed game of chess, and then transformed himself into a chess piece, stepping on squares drawn by others with every move.

Neji, like him, was a pawn.

However, Neji may never have known why he died.

As mentioned earlier, Neji possesses exceptional talent and battle intelligence.

[During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Neji had already become an elite Jonin. Faced with the Wood Release: Wood Piercing Technique, he did not use the Rotation Technique to defend against it.]

[That's fine, even if he exhausts his chakra, he can still somewhat withstand the Splinter Technique with his taijutsu alone.]

Konoha Training Ground.

Rock Lee snapped out of his grief, abruptly raising his head, his eyes blazing with fury.

"That's right! Neji is the strongest taijutsu ninja of our generation! How could he possibly be unable to withstand a mere sapwood jutsu!"

Hyuga Neji looked at Lee, who had inexplicably become agitated again, with an unusually calm gaze.

To be honest, given his own situation, even if he couldn't use the "Reverse Heaven" technique, he could indeed defend himself with physical skills.

but...

If this is fate, how can I possibly resist it?
