Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Let's talk about the matter of Kumogakure abducting Hinata Hyuga.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Kumogakure was at fault, but he was afraid of war and dared not confront them.

Everyone knows why the Hidden Cloud Village kidnapped Hinata.

[After recruiting Hinata to Kumogakure, they gouged out her Byakugan.]

[Then raise them to adulthood and have them reproduce for the Cloud Village ninja.]

If Hinata were really kidnapped and taken to Kumogakure, then not only Konoha, but the entire ninja world would be doomed.

The entire ninja world fell silent for a moment.

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki stroked his beard and chuckled briefly.

"They kidnapped a little girl from the Hyuga clan, and the entire ninja world is wiped out?"

"This sky is really making Konoha look good."

Huang Tu stood below, looking up at the sky.

"Father, since Tenmoku says so, there must be a reason. Could the Hyuga clan's Byakugan possess some power capable of destroying the ninja world?"

Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi leaned back in her chair, her fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, twirling a strand of hair.

"A little girl can decide the fate of the ninja world? That's an exaggeration."

Qing stood to the side, staring at the sky with one eye.

"Lord Mizukage, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is indeed not to be underestimated. I went to great lengths to obtain this one back then. If Kumogakure truly obtains the pure Byakugan of the main clan, and they multiply it in large numbers..."

Mei Terumi waved her hand, interrupting him.

"That wouldn't be enough to destroy the entire ninja world."

The sky didn't keep everyone guessing for long; new text covered the entire sky.

[Back when you, Uncle Obito, were using talk-no-jutsu on Naruto]

If it weren't for Hinata's slap...

[Your Uncle Naruto is about to transform into Menma and make the entire ninja world suffer.]

Konoha 48th year.

The Hokage's office.

When Minato Namikaze saw the name Obito, his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

"Obito... is he still alive?"

Konoha 60th year.

Training Course.

Kakashi, who was leaning against the tree trunk, instantly stood at attention.

Obito didn't die; he's still in the ninja world.

Moreover, he used talk-no-jutsu on Naruto?

Kakashi's chest heaved violently.

Obito, where are you? Why are you targeting the teacher's child?

Naruto pointed at the sky, jumped twice on the spot, and shouted loudly.

Who is Uncle Obito?

"And who is Menma? Why should I make the entire ninja world suffer?"

Sakura kicked a pebble to the side and put her hands on her hips.

"Idiot Naruto, what Tenbu means is that you almost went astray, and Hinata woke you up."

Hinata stood on the training ground of Team 8, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, all the way to her ears.

"I...I slapped Naruto-kun?"

She covered her face with her hands, squatted on the ground, and almost buried her head in her knees.

"How could I possibly hit Naruto-kun...?"

At that moment, Obito, who was far away in the Akatsuki organization, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Will they expose his secrets behind this veil?

The scene on the screen changed, and the text was replaced with new content.

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi also harbored selfish motives towards his son.

He's paving the way for Asuma to become Hokage.

[Thinking about it, if Asuma hadn't died, wouldn't he most likely have become Hokage?]

Hokage Building.

Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was slumped in a chair.

"Old man, you've even planned out the Hokage position?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Jiraiya.

"Asuma is my son, and of course I hope he will be successful. But that doesn't mean I have to pass the Hokage position to him."

At the barbecue restaurant in Konoha Village.

Asma, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, remained expressionless.

"Is the old man paving the way for me?"

The surrounding ninjas all turned to stare at him.

Someone muttered to themselves.

"Asuma served as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas under the daimyo of the Land of Fire..."

"Isn't that just trying to gain favor with the powerful figure?"

"The Daimyo has the authority to nominate Hokage candidates."

"Go to the daimyo's side to gain experience, then come back and become Hokage. What a clever plan."

Asma stood up, slammed the money on the table, and turned to leave the barbecue restaurant.

He had no desire to become Hokage; the old man's unilateral arrangement only made him more resentful.

The sky continued to display evidence.

First of all, the students in his tenth class all came from prestigious families.

The Nara clan, the Akimichi clan, and the Yamanaka clan.

[And then there's his girlfriend, Kurenai Yuhi; the class she teaches is also comprised of top students from various powerful families.]

Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main branch; Kiba Inuzuka of the Inuzuka clan; and Shino Aburame of the Aburame clan.

Basically, everyone with connections is in their group.

On the streets of Konoha Village, villagers and ninjas whispered among themselves.

"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio are the pillar families of Konoha."

"The Hyuga clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Aburame clan—they are all great clans."

"Hand over the reins of these families to their sons and daughters-in-law..."

"Isn't this just a way of winning over the major families in advance, preparing for their rise to power?"

In the Nara clan's residence.

Shikaku sat on the corridor, looking at the words on the ceiling.

Ding and Hai sat next to him.

None of the three spoke.

Shikaku picked up his teacup and took a sip.

They were very clear about this matter back then, and they also understood what the Hokage was implying.

Now that Tianmu has revealed the truth, the political exchange behind it has been laid bare before the entire ninja world.

Third Class Training Ground.

Hyuga Neji stood in front of the wooden stake and sneered.

"The eldest daughter of the main family has had people paving the way for her to be won over since she was a child."

"Those who split up the family can only serve as guards, no matter how hard they try."

Tian Tian stood by, not daring to say a word, and could only silently tidy up the kunai and shuriken on the ground.

Xiao Li jumped down from the tree and shouted loudly.

"Neji! Youth doesn't need a background! With hard work, even ordinary people can shine!"

Neji turned his head and looked at Lee.

"Some things cannot be changed by effort alone."

The contrast in the text on the sky is even more stark.

[In contrast, consider the other classes.]

[Team Guy consists of ordinary ninjas, including Neji from the Hyuga branch family, and Tenten and Rock Lee, who have no powerful connections.]

[Although Kakashi's team is a top-tier team.]

However, both Naruto and Sasuke were very unpopular when they were young.

[It has even less to do with any influence.]

[Plus, there's Sakura, a super ordinary ninja.]

There's not much to say about this; it's just there to fill space.

Training ground for Class 7.

Sakura stood there, her cheeks flushed red.

"Just here to make up the numbers?"

"I painstakingly refine my chakra and practice shurikenjutsu every day!"

"Why do you say I'm just here to make up the numbers!"

In an instant, Sakura's violent side kicked in, and she punched a tree trunk next to her.

The tree shook violently, and leaves fell, hitting the three people on the head.

Naruto was so frightened that he took two steps back and put his hands in front of his chest.

"Sakura, don't be angry, Tenmu is definitely making things up!"

Sasuke turned his head and coldly uttered a few words.

"Without a bloodline limit or a family secret technique, you really can only make up the numbers."

Sakura turned to stare at Sasuke, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

She looked down at her bright red fist.

Compared to Naruto and Sasuke, she is indeed inferior in every way, whether in terms of bloodline limit or background.

[A review of the life of the third generation.]

[A remarkable youth, but a deeply frustrating old age.]

[If the Third Hokage had used the Reaper Death Seal on the Nine-Tails during the Nine-Tails' night, instead of the Fourth Hokage.]

Then he is a true hero.

Unfortunately, he isn't.

Hokage Building.

Jiraiya walked to the window and looked down at the village where the protests were gradually fading.

"Old man, you could have been a hero."

"But you chose to live."

"To survive, to watch Minato die, to watch the village become like this."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes, his shoulders trembling slightly.

The scene of the Nine-Tailed Night replayed in his mind.

If I had gotten there faster, Minato might not have died. It was just that one step away...
