Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[And then there's Kakashi Hatake, who seems lazy but is actually incredibly slick.]

[A genius in his youth, an elite in the ANBU, and an ace when he became a Jonin.]

While saying "I'm just an ordinary ninja," he copied thousands of ninjutsu, created his own Lightning Blade, and could go toe-to-toe with anyone.

This Versailles-style scroll is the highest level of artistry.

In Konoha Year 48, in the Hokage's office.

Kushina stood with her hands on her hips, looking indignant. "That Kakashi kid, he's so amazing, yet he always says he's just average! Isn't that infuriating?!"

Minato said with a smile.

"That's just his personality."

Nara Shikaku then revealed a playful expression.

"Fourth Hokage, don't you think Kakashi's line of reasoning sounds a bit like yours?"

Minato was taken aback: "When did I say I was ordinary?"

The text on the celestial screen continues:

Even Shikamaru, who always complains about how troublesome things are and is known as the number one person who just lies down and does nothing, was forced to become a team leader, forced to come up with strategies, and eventually ended up becoming the Hokage's chief advisor.

[Want to just lie low in the ninja world? Not a chance!]

In the ninja world, if a person doesn't roll up their sleeve, they will die.

Upon hearing this, the ninja world fell into a deathly silence.

All the ninjas stopped in their tracks; some sighed, others smiled bitterly.

An old ninja squatted in the corner, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a long puff of white smoke.

"Tianmu is right. If you don't take action, and others are better than you, then you're doomed, aren't you?"

"In the ninja world, if you don't roll up, you'll die."

The visuals on the sky switched again.

[The Ninja World's Most Simply Person Ranking]

The moment those words were seen, the air in the entire ninja world seemed to freeze for a moment.

In the 60th year of Konoha, on the training ground.

Naruto scratched his head. "A 'simp ranking'? What does 'simp' mean?"

Before Sakura could even speak, Sasuke's cold voice drifted over from the side.

"Someone like you who's persistent and clingy."

"Who are you calling a persistent pest! Sasuke, you bastard!" Naruto jumped up and pointed at Sasuke's nose.

"I'm just being persistent! Unlike you, who always has a sour face!"

Kakashi stood not far away, watching his two disciples bicker as usual, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

A list of "simps"? Interesting.

【I. Uchiha Obito】

When these words appeared on the sky, the entire ninja world seemed to be muted.

In the newly opened timeline of the Sky Curtain.

The training ground where Minato's team was located in Konoha Year 45.

When young Obito saw his name at the top of the list, he choked violently.

"Cough cough cough! What the hell?! Me? A simp???"

Rin Nohara sat to the side, tilting her head to look at the sky, then at Obito, her expression a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Obito, what does 'simp' mean?"

Obito's face instantly turned bright red. "I don't know, maybe this suddenly appearing celestial canopy is starting to talk nonsense!"

Inside the Divine Might Space.

Obito Uchiha sat alone on the high platform, his legs dangling in the air, his gaze fixed on his name on the sky.

At the top of the list?

Oh.

When it comes to the pinnacle of simp behavior, it has to be Uchiha Obito.

[When Lin is alive, the world is colorful; when Lin is dead, the world is full of despair and deserves destruction.]

On the training field, Nohara Rin looked at the sky, her expression gradually changing from confusion to an indescribable look.

She turned to look at the boy Obito, hesitating to speak.

When young Obito noticed Rin's gaze, he froze. He tried to avoid her eyes, but found himself unable to move.

"Obito..." Nohara Rin's voice was very soft.

"W-What are you doing!" Obito's voice was stiff, as if he had to use all his strength to keep it up.

Nohara Rin opened her mouth, but in the end she only whispered, "You must never become that kind of person."

The young Obito was stunned. The next second, he abruptly turned his face away and muttered.

"I see."

After witnessing Rin being mistakenly killed by Kakashi, Obito instantly broke down, allowing Madara Uchiha to seize the opportunity and willingly accept the Eye of the Moon Plan.

[I'd give up everything to create a world free from war, a world where Lin exists.]

For this reason, he transformed into the number one villain in the ninja world, becoming an enemy of the entire world.

[For a girl he'd never even held hands with, he was willing to be a pawn, dragging the whole world down with him.]

This obsession and drive have cemented his position as the king of sycophants.

Inside the Divine Might Space.

Obito Uchiha, hidden behind the mask, suddenly laughed. His laughter echoed in the empty space, carrying a meaning that was hard to describe.

"For a girl he's never even held hands with?"

He repeated the sentence to himself, his tone devoid of anger, more like a self-deprecating remark.

"What do you know... you know nothing."

When he carried out the Eye of the Moon project, it was never just for Lin alone.

What he wanted to create was a world without pain, loss, or war.

There, everyone can live with a smile forever, just like Lin.

What's wrong with that?

If it weren't for that damned Black Zetsu, Infinite Tsukuyomi might really be the best solution.

The Hokage's office in Konoha.

Tsunade's eye twitched as she watched Obito's sycophantic behavior. She turned to Jiraiya, who was sprawled on the sofa next to her, and said, "Jiraiya, do you think Obito has something wrong with his head?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya said seriously, "There's no logic to feelings."

He then shrugged and added.

"But then again, he is indeed quite a troublemaker."

【II. Sakura Haruno】

In the 60th year of Konoha, on the training ground.

Sakura was still immersed in Obito's painful unrequited love, and her feelings were complicated as she looked at the words on the sky.

The next second she saw her own name, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh?! I'm on the list too?!"

Thinking of her previous comments about Obito, her face flushed red and then turned pale.

"What is Tianmu going to say about me?"

If Obito is the king of simps, then Sakura is undoubtedly the queen of simps.

From childhood to adulthood, Sasuke was the only man in her eyes.

Even though Naruto, the son of a high-ranking official, was constantly trying to win her favor, she ignored him completely, her heart entirely devoted to the rebellious Sasuke.

[What about Sasuke? He barely acknowledges her, at best ignoring her, at worst directly trying to kill her. He stabs her in the genjutsu, and then tries to use Chidori on her in reality.]

[Let's look at Sakura again, whose main theme is "Sasuke may torment me a thousand times, but I will still love Sasuke like my first love."]

But in the end, she actually succeeded in winning over Sasuke.

Although the price was spending years alone in an empty house raising her child, it was worth it for her.

On the streets of Sunagakure, a group of onlookers couldn't stop laughing.

"Wow! That Sakura from Konoha, after being treated like that by Sasuke, she still went out of her way to marry him? She's such a simp!"

"But she succeeded! What do you call that? You get everything by sucking up to the end!"

"Then that means you bet correctly!"

"But wasn't her married life essentially a living widow's existence?"
