Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Mei Terumi: Madara Uchiha has been dead for so long, yet he's still the target of bullying in the dreams of the Konoha villagers?

Konoha Village, on the street.

The villagers looked up at the sky, their expressions extremely complex.

"Um...do we bully others in our dreams too?"

"...I think this dream is pretty good. Since it's a dream anyway, of course I should bully the strongest one."

"That's right. In reality, I can't even see a shadow of Madara Uchiha. It would be a waste not to bully him in my dreams!"

"Are you serious?"

Switching between different celestial screen views:

Late at night.

The Konoha villager who had been bullying others all day returned home, lay on his bed, and closed his eyes contentedly.

"What a fulfilling day..."

"Tomorrow, let's go bully the Third Hokage a bit..."

His consciousness gradually blurred, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

at this time,

A faint thought flashed through his mind.

"Is this... heaven?"

Under the sky, everyone fell silent once again.

[Black Soil: Heaven??? A place that's all about bullying others is called heaven?!]

[Deidara: The minds of these Konoha villagers are definitely not like those of normal people...]

[Hidan: Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! His paradise is bullying others! What kind of weird setting is this?!]

[Onoki: ...Although I had expected this, seeing it in person still leaves me somewhat puzzled. It seems this Will of Conqueror has truly become the underlying code of the Konoha villagers.]

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

Hei Tu stood to the side, hands on his hips, a gloating expression on his face.

"Grandpa, how did the Konoha ninjas manage to endure it?"

Ōnoki thought for a moment and then said.

"Maybe it's just a habit. After all, from the Warring States period to now, Konoha's ninjas have been bullied."

Kurotsuchi: "...This is too tragic."

[The visuals change.]

The real world.

Naruto stood amidst the ruins, watching as everyone was trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Damn it... I have to stop all of this..."

Just as he was about to rush forward, a hand grabbed him from behind. Sasuke asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Naruto! Where are you going?!"

Naruto turned around, his eyes burning with unwavering determination.

"I will never allow those who bullied me to dream!"

Under the sky, the entire ninja world fell silent.

[Fourth Raikage A: ...This kid, he really grew up in Konoha.]

[Mei Terumi: I thought he was going to say he wanted to save the world or protect his comrades... but this is it?!]

[Kurotsuchi: Hahahaha!!! As expected of a Konoha ninja! Extremely vengeful!]

Deidara: That's a good reason! I support it! Why should they get to dream when they're being bullied?!

Upon hearing this reason, Sasuke and Naruto reached out their hands, their fingers touching in the air to form a reconciliation seal.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi - Released!!!"

Under the sky,

In a dark cave.

The elderly Madara Uchiha sat on a stone chair, but he raised his head and stared at the figures of two boys in the sky with his cloudy eyes.

His lips moved slightly, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

Why...?

"Infinite Tsukuyomi... It's already activated..."

"Why were those two brats able to dispel it...?"

"What am I doing in the future?! Why didn't I stop it?!"

He coughed violently, a sight that infuriated him greatly.

"That's... a plan I've been working on for decades!!!"

Why?!

The sky screen changes.

Madara Uchiha's eyes were full of condescending contempt as he looked at Naruto, who was about to form hand seals, as if he were looking at an arrogant ant.

"Your specialty is shadow clones?"

His tone was flat, yet it carried an undisguised sarcasm.

"Even forbidden high-level ninjutsu only makes more useless people."

Naruto paused for a moment, then retorted loudly.

"I'm not a loser!"

Ban didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone remaining calm.

"They're nothing but a rabble."

Naruto looked completely bewildered, opened his mouth, and stammered as he repeated the unfamiliar word.

"Huh? Ugh... Ugh... A mob?"

Under the sky, the people from other villages were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

[Fourth Raikage A: ...This Naruto, doesn't even know what "rabble" means?]

[Mei Terumi: I remember his IQ was only around 90... This is too realistic.]

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

Onoki stroked his beard, his expression subtle.

"Naruto Uzumaki... The fact that he can stand here proves that his combat strength is indeed not low, but his education level is probably not even enough to attend the Ninja Academy properly."

"Is Konoha's education system really that backward?"

Konoha Year 60, Training Ground.

Naruto's face turned bright red as he pointed at the sky and protested loudly.

"This 'sky' is defaming me! Of course I know what 'the mob' means!"

Sasuke stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Then explain it to me."

Naruto opened his mouth, then his expression froze.

"Uh... it's... that..."

Sakura covered her face, unable to bear to look.

"Naruto, you'd better not explain."

Naruto panicked, "I really know! It's just a bunch of people gathered together!"

In the celestial display.

Madara looked at Naruto, who was racking his brains, and his tone was full of undisguised disdain.

"As expected, he's a piece of trash."

"Didn't your parents teach you that?"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha glanced sideways at Madara.

His expression was extremely subtle, as if he was trying to suppress a laugh.

Then he spoke, his tone very serious.

"It means that no matter how many people there are, it's all for nothing if their minds are empty."

[Hozuki Suigetsu: Naruto didn't have parents because of Obito...]

Mei Terumi: Why do I feel like Obito was trying to hold back a laugh when he wasn't saying anything?

Under the sky,

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Obito, who was giving a serious explanation on the sky, and her expression was extremely complicated.

"...If it weren't for Obito, Naruto wouldn't be so clueless about such a simple word!"
