Yun chuckled lightly: "Why do you still have the nerve to call Ye Yue 'Auntie'? If it weren't for me back then, wouldn't you have wanted to kill her too?"
Itachi remained silent.
Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Yun-kun... I'm just as curious, because in my opinion, your influence shouldn't be on the path of destroying the world."
“I can sense that you are not disappointed in this world. On the contrary, you probably want to save it.”
Yun did not answer. After a long while, everyone looked at the battlefield outside the passage again.
……
"boom!!!"
Lightning flashed as the Fourth Raikage, empowered by the Weighted Rock Technique, slashed down with his hand, striking back the Ten-Tails' One-Day Tail with all his might.
On the other hand, the technique of melting monsters swept through, but had little impact.
The sand and gravel flew through the air, but it seemed that the other party swung its tail and scattered them.
The nine tails descended, and the longsword parried, but the nine tails swept towards it.
For a moment, the battlefield resembled the end of the world, a battle between monsters, with the sky and earth collapsing.
……
Chapter 437: Talent
The Ten-Tails' revival requires the chakra of all nine tailed beasts. At this moment, the Ten-Tails has already obtained all the chakra of the One-Tail to the Eight-Tail, and the remaining Nine-Tails has also obtained half of its chakra from the reanimated Fourth Hokage.
In fact, under these circumstances, Obito was already ready to take the next step and become the so-called Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
But he didn't, because even after seeing the power of the Ten-Tails, he still wasn't confident he could fight that person, that guy who seemed so relaxed and carefree from beginning to end.
He only had half of the Nine-Tails' chakra left, but he still wanted to obtain it so that the Ten-Tails could become his jinchūriki in its most perfect form.
"boom!!!"
The Ten-Tails stretched out its arm and slammed down. The immense power was so great that even the Fourth Raikage needed Onoki's help to barely repel it.
As for breaking through defenses...
After a series of battles, the battlefield had long since become a sinkhole more than ten meters deep, but neither the Rasengan Shuriken nor the successive attacks of the Five Kage could break through the Ten-Tails' defenses.
Only Susanoo Blade imbued with Amaterasu's fire can cause the flames to dissipate by splitting the opponent.
The masked man, who seemed to be looking down on everyone from above, stood atop the Ten-Tails like a god.
Amidst the roar, the Nine-Tails in its armored form was once again repelled, and its Kurama Mode was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
"Give up..."
Looking down at Naruto, who was gritting his teeth, Obito said, "In this cursed world, there has always been only hatred and darkness between people. Only true power can bring peace."
"Om..."
The golden Nine-Tails chakra dissipated, the armor reformed, and Naruto and Sasuke stood atop the Susanoo.
"How can peace be true peace if everyone lives in constant fear and dread?"
"The feelings between people are universal! As long as we can trust each other, true peace can come!"
Naruto looked exhausted, but his body remained straight, with one hand resting on his abdomen.
"I know what it feels like to be unappreciated, and I know the pain of a friend being forced to leave because of the village..."
"People may distrust, deceive, and hurt each other for various reasons... But even so, I cannot forget... I cannot forget the beauty between people..."
"Being recognized...being trusted...being protected...being accepted! Haven't you experienced these things? Forgetting the good because of painful experiences, choosing to let everyone live under oppression, this is not the peace I want."
"Chakra is the power of protection, establishing connections and understanding. It's a power that allows one to trust another as long as they believe in them! And I..."
"I want to gain everyone's trust! To gain everyone's recognition! To become Hokage, to strive to change this world, and to enable everyone to abandon hatred!"
"That's why... the Allied Shinobi Forces exist!"
Naruto's roar echoed across the battlefield, yet his seemingly ordinary words seemed to conceal another kind of power—the power to change people's hearts.
The five Kage, along with the high-ranking officials of the five great ninja villages, all had received information about Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
From the Chunin Exams to the Uchiha joining the Hidden Cloud Village, the influence of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can be seen in everything.
At this moment, that special power seems to be affecting everyone's hearts without their noticing.
The war, which lasted for several days, resulted in the highest number of casualties among the five major ninja villages since the establishment of the ninja village system.
From mutual hatred and animosity, to these days of mutual support and rescue.
The ninja symbol on everyone's headbands flashed through everyone's minds, and everything from the past gradually faded away in this war with its enormous casualties.
Obito, standing atop the Ten-Tails, was also deeply moved.
Become Hokage?
Such a ridiculous dream...
"I'll be watching you!"
A voice rang in Obito's mind, and then a scene appeared.
At that time, when he fell from the tree, his bold words were not ridiculed. Rin smiled and said that she would watch over him and watch him become Hokage.
For a moment, the image of Naruto on Susanoo overlapped with his own childhood self.
"Becoming Hokage... but it doesn't save the world..."
Obito looked down at Onoki: "Back then, Hashirama, as the First Hokage, could easily have overwhelmed you with his power, but after him... the Fourth Shinobi World War began."
Onoki, carried on the back of the Fourth Raikage, struggled to lift his head, his hunched body gradually straightening.
"Perhaps... We were the same back then, or rather, before this war. The purpose of the alliance was only because of you, and after that, the ninja world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) will return to the past."
"But now..."
"The Raikage saved me many times, and I saved him many times, as did the ninjas from both villages. As for Naruto... I am old now, but I also want to see his future, whether he will change the world."
Gaara stepped forward: "No one likes war. I've always believed that Naruto will be the one to change the world."
The Fourth Raikage looked at Susanoo, and for a moment, those words from back then floated into his mind.
They... will change the world, and they will determine the future of the world.
……
In an instant, the words of the Five Kage solidified Naruto's stance and will, making him the center of the battlefield.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails in the sealed land regained its chakra, and golden light reappeared.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
As the clones descended, streams of chakra were separated, and the elite Jonin and the Five Kage who remained on the battlefield all sensed this new power.
Above Susanoo.
"You should know that the role they can play is negligible."
"No... I'm thinking about more than just now. This war has gone on for a long time, and it's no longer just about defeating him."
Sasuke paused, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Naruto.
He understood, but the wisdom within it seemed something Naruto couldn't possibly have conceived of.
Peace in the future?
If we cannot get everyone to abandon hatred and trust each other, then with the Infinite Tsukuyomi abandoned, perhaps winning and losing won't make much difference.
……
In the dark cave.
Uchiha Yun frowned slightly as he watched Naruto make his declaration.
Although the world has not been changed much, it has even been corrected again and again because of its existence.
Even so, Naruto's trajectory has changed drastically. At least after Sasuke obtained the Eternal Eye, Naruto's contact with other villages should not have reached this point.
Gaara might have made up for the lost bond during the previous Kazekage rescue mission, but many things were missing, so the impact shouldn't be this profound.
Is it talent that persuades people?
Or was his perception altered for some reason, like Obito's before him?
"It seems... Sasuke has made a very good friend."
Yun turned to look at Itachi: "You never know, maybe I'll have a boyfriend..."
Itachi's eyes widened in an instant.
(°Д°)丿
For a moment, Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a glance and remained silent.
Yun continued to look out of the passage.
Soon, those who had gathered the Nine-Tails' chakra came together, seemingly focusing all their power on sharpness.
Under the cover of Susanoo, the formation was like a sharp blade, cutting through the Ten-Tails and hitting the target—the connection between Obito and the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails, now out of control, went berserk. Even with the Nine-Tails in its armor, the combined power of the Tailed Beast Ball could only barely alter its trajectory.
In the chaos, no one noticed that a figure enveloped in golden chakra entered the Ten-Tails' mouth.
On the other side, Obito, who was wearing a mask, was also confronted by Kakashi and Guy. Not long after, his mask was shattered due to Kakashi deliberately holding back.
Just like in his memory, Obito's recognition threw Kakashi into a state of confusion.
However, persuaded by Naruto's talent, he pierced Obito's chest in another dimension.
However... it pierced not only Obito's heart, but also the cursed seal talisman left by Madara Uchiha in his heart.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Obito coughed up a mouthful of blood but didn't seem to care, even smiling as he formed hand seals.
The next moment, the still raging Ten-Tails was absorbed into its body, and a white sphere suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.
"Is that so..."
