Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

However, he unexpectedly spread his arms and stood directly in front of Naruto and Hinata.

His death, while seemingly tragic, is highly consistent with his reasons for protecting his comrades and his mission within the branch family to protect Hinata.

[As for the death of Neji's father, Hizashi, the explanation given was also to protect his brother and the peace of Konoha; the manner of death for father and son was essentially the same.]

The Hyuga clan's territory, the main family's residence.

Hiashi Hyuga stood in the courtyard, his expression so complex it was almost distorted.

He looked at the words on the sky and recalled the scene when the spies died in his place.

"It's happening again..."

"He died protecting the main family once again."

Behind him stood Hyuga Hanabi, her small face full of confusion and unease.

"Father... Neji-nii-san..."

Hiashi Hyuga did not answer. He didn't know how to answer.

Meanwhile, in the area of ​​the Hyuga branch family, some people had already begun to sob quietly.

A middle-aged branch family ninja sat under the eaves, his face covered with his hands.

"Lord Hizashi is like this, and Neji is like this too... Are the lives of us branch family members so worthless?"

An older woman from the family who had separated from the main branch patted him on the shoulder.

Whether it's valuable or not... isn't up to us to decide.

Forest on the border of the Land of Lightning.

Tobirama Senju stood under an ancient tree, his brow furrowing as he looked at the description of the Hyuga branch family on the sky.

"A caged bird,"

"This is indeed a design that is difficult to evaluate."

The young Hiruzen Sarutobi stood to the side and asked cautiously.

"Tobirama-sensei, if you were to govern the Hyuga clan, how would you handle it?"

Tobirama Senju remained silent for a long time before finally speaking his mind.

"...it won't be much better than it is now."

"Because the Byakugan has too high strategic value, both in terms of its strategic value and the so-called Tenseigan, the risk of it being left out in the wild is enormous."

The light from the sky slowly swirled across the heavens, and then a new title appeared.

What gifts did Naruto receive at his wedding?

Under the sky,

Naruto blinked, his expression shifting from serious to confused.

"Marriage? Me and Hinata?"

Sakura Haruno stood beside him with her arms crossed, her words tinged with speechlessness.

"Is it a bit... a bit much for Tianmu to be discussing this at this time?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

We were just talking about how Neji died, and now we're talking about wedding gifts.

This is definitely a bit of hell.

Neji Hyuga himself was standing not far away, and his lips twitched slightly when he heard those words.

They started their wedding before their own bodies were even cold?

Konoha Year 60, Hokage's office.

Jiraiya leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"I never expected to hear news of Naruto's marriage..."

"But the wedding... if Minato and Kushina were still here, they would be so happy."

Although Kushina was no longer alive when Naruto got married, his mother's love reached Naruto before the wedding through Konohamaru.

It was a somewhat worn green scarf.

Although the scarf is a bit old, it's still proof of my mother's love.

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Kushina Uzumaki stared blankly at the words on the sky.

Her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her eyes instantly reddened, and her voice trembled slightly.

"A scarf? The scarf I just finished knitting not long ago?"

Minato Namikaze stood beside her, gently putting his arm around her shoulder, his gaze deep and intense.

Kushina leaned against Minato's chest, her voice slightly choked.

"Minato...I...Is there anything I can leave for Naruto?"

Minato nodded slightly. "Tenbu said it was Konohamaru who delivered it. That means we at least saved our feelings for the day it was delivered."

Kushina lowered her head, and two lines of tears silently slid down her cheeks.

"...That's good. That's good."

She paused, then looked up, her voice tinged with a hint of gritted teeth and anger.

"But that Obito!! If it weren't for him!! I could have given the scarf to Naruto myself!!"

[Secondly, Konohamaru gave Naruto a wedding gift: a hand-filmed congratulatory video.]

On the streets of Konoha.

Sarutobi Konohamaru stood in the crowd, looked up at his own face reflected in the sky, and paused for a moment.

"...Me? I filmed Naruto-nii-san?"

Moegi next to him slapped him hard on the back: "Konohamaru! You're on TV! You were amazing in the future!"

Konohamaru was still in a daze, but the corners of his mouth had already involuntarily turned up.

Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his grandson's face on the sky, his pipe hovering in mid-air.

He found it hard to believe that his usually mischievous grandson would be so sensible one day.

Jiraiya leaned to one side and said in a very serious tone.

"Old man, your grandson is quite something. He knows how to handle people better than you do."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "...What do you mean by that?"

To make this video, he practically traveled throughout the entire ninja world, even going so far as to find Orochimaru, the man who killed his grandfather.

Upon hearing this, the entire ninja world fell silent for a moment once more.

Then everyone wore a subtle expression.

"Looking for Orochimaru???"

"Orochimaru, the one who killed the Third Hokage???"

Sixty years into the history of Konoha, villagers looked at each other in bewilderment on the streets.

"Does Konohamaru have such a big heart?"

"That's the murderer who killed his grandfather..."

"Wait, Tianmu said 'Orochimaru has already reformed at this point'? Orochimaru can reform?"

"With a sky canopy, what's impossible in this ninja world..."

[At this point, Orochimaru had reformed and was gradually becoming like Jiraiya.]

Yinyin Village, underground base.

Orochimaru looked at the words on the sky with a puzzled expression.

"Have I become like Jiraiya?"

How could I possibly become that lecherous and heartless guy?

[Jiraiya: Orochimaru has become like me?! What does that mean?! He's copying me and writing books?!]

[Tsunade: Impossible. Orochimaru could never learn to act like Jiraiya.]

[Jiraiya: Tsunade, how dare you talk to me like that?! What kind of person am I?!]

[Tsunade: Don't you have any self-awareness?]

Orochimaru: ...Can you guys please stop arguing in the comments? It's affecting other people's viewing experience. Also, Jiraiya, I haven't become like you. Don't flatter yourself.

...

To prepare a gift for Naruto, he even disguised himself as a waiter and secretly listened to what other people were giving as gifts.

[Orochimaru's actions were completely unnecessary. He could have simply used Edo Tensei to summon Naruto's parents and Jiraiya, thus fulfilling Naruto's lifelong regret.]

Konoha Year 60, Training Ground.

Naruto suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.

"Yeah!! Orochimaru can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique!! Couldn't he just call out his parents and the Perverted Sage?! Why did he have to disguise himself as a waiter to eavesdrop?!"

Kakashi stood to the side, his lips twitching slightly.

"Naruto, theoretically it's possible, but in practice..."

"Kakashi-sensei! Don't give me any theories! I know Orochimaru did this! He even summoned the First Hokage!"

"..." Kakashi fell silent.

To be honest, if given the chance, who wouldn't want to see their loved ones during their happiest time?
