Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Hinata couldn't lift her arm, and her figure froze for a moment.

"Hinata! Get out of the way!"

Naruto roared hoarsely, trying to stand up and push Hinata away, but he had no strength at all.

Hinata did not turn around.

She simply opened her arms more resolutely, like a moth drawn to a flame.

If she dodges, Naruto will die.

A wooden splinter pierced her left chest with pinpoint accuracy.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was so muffled that it silenced the entire world.

"Hinata-sama!"

"Hinata!"

"Miss!"

"..."

The Hyuga clan ninjas were almost frozen in place.

Hinata's body jolted violently.

The wooden splinter pierced through Naruto's chest and exited through his back, bringing with it warm blood that splattered onto Naruto's face.

The barrage of wooden spikes that had been raining down on the ground stopped.

The sounds around Naruto seemed to disappear.

His astonishment froze, gradually turning into confusion, followed by deep terror.

His pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the blood-stained, sharp wooden splinter protruding from Hinata's back.

Hinata's outstretched arms fell limply to her sides.

Blood quickly stained her chest, and her body swayed before collapsing forward.

"Hinata!"

Naruto finally let out a heart-wrenching scream.

He suddenly felt a surge of strength and reached out to catch Hinata's limp body.

Naruto hugged Hinata and slowly knelt down on the ground.

Muzan and Obito watched this scene from above the Ten-Tails' head.

Muzan stared at Hinata, who had died saving Naruto, and a smile crept onto his lips.

changed.

Neji's fate fell upon Hinata.

But perhaps dying to save Naruto was Hinata's destiny?

Obito stared intently at Naruto, not missing a single change in his expression.

Naruto held Hinata's hand tightly; Hinata's hand was frighteningly cold, and blood was flowing from her body at an unprecedented rate.

Naruto futilely tried to cover the wound on her chest with his hand to stop the gushing blood, but the warm blood instantly soaked through his fingers and kept seeping out from between them, and he couldn't stop it at all.

"Why...why did you do this?"

"Hinata! You idiot! Why?"

Naruto's voice trembled, choked with sobs, and he spoke incoherently.

Hinata lay in his arms, her breath faint.

The excruciating pain caused her body to spasm slightly, but her expression was unusually calm, even carrying a hint of gentle relief.

She struggled to lift her heavy eyelids; her pure Byakugan eyes were somewhat unfocused at this moment, but she still tried her best to gaze at Naruto's face.

Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth and slid down her pale skin.

Hinata tried to raise her hand to touch Naruto's cheek again, but she no longer had the strength.

Her voice was soft and weak, and with that voice she finally expressed the emotions she had been holding back for years.

"Because... I've always... loved Naruto the most..."

She had practiced these words countless times, but had never had the chance to say them aloud, nor did she dare to.

But in the final moments of his life, it seemed there was nothing left to worry about.

The confession finally broke free from all shyness and timidity, clearly conveying Hinata's feelings to Naruto, whom she loved most.

Hinata's Byakugan eyes quickly filled with tears.

she really...

She really misses Naruto-kun...

She wanted to keep living, to keep protecting Naruto...

she really...

I really like Naruto.

Hinata's gaze, fixed on Naruto, slowly lost focus.

Finally, it went out completely.

Her head was tilted slightly to one side, nestled in Naruto's arm, her expression as peaceful as if she were asleep.

Naruto, who was closest to Hinata, clearly sensed that Hinata's breathing had stopped and her heartbeat had stopped.

Naruto held Hinata, his eyes dull and lifeless.

Everything around him quickly lost its color before his eyes.

why?

He's losing everything, isn't he?

Naruto held Hinata, motionless.

"Hinata..."

Tears streamed down Hiashi Hyuga's cheeks.

He closed his eyes tightly.

Chapter 620 Naruto's Will!!

Naruto remained kneeling on the spot, motionless, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

He lowered his head, staring blankly at Hinata in his arms, who seemed to be just asleep.

His mind went blank; he simply couldn't accept the fact that Hinata had died protecting him.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the heart-wrenching grief, like a belated tsunami, instantly overwhelmed all his reason.

it hurts……

My heart hurts so much.

Naruto let out a silent roar, and pain and despair flowed from his eyes.

He couldn't make a sound, but everyone could feel the despair and pain in him.

Tears welled up uncontrollably in Naruto's eyes, dripping hot water onto Hinata's already cold cheeks.

Looking at Naruto's pained and desperate appearance, Obito felt as if he had returned to that night many years ago.

The rain was icy cold, and he held Lin, whose body had already lost its warmth, in his arms, feeling just as desperate and in pain.

My heart felt like it was being ripped apart; the pain was so intense I couldn't breathe.

"Why...why is it like this again..."

Naruto choked back tears, his voice broken and fragmented.

"I clearly...I clearly swore to protect everyone..."

But now, Hinata is dying to protect him.

Obito's cold voice clearly reached Naruto's ears: "Naruto, are you in pain? Are you in despair? This is the reality of the real world. In the dream of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, there would be no such tragedy."

Muzan glanced at Obito, who was immersed in Naruto's grief. Since Obito had once again focused his attention on Naruto, whom he cared about, then he wouldn't be surprised if he continued to massage the Ten-Tails.

As if sensing something, the ten tails began to flap wildly.

Yes...it's painful...

It's so painful...

Watching loved ones die before your eyes time and time again, while being powerless to stop it...

An unprecedented sense of gloom began to drag Naruto down.

The once radiant blue eyes are now empty and lifeless.

"Naruto!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap, exploded in Naruto's mind.

It's the Nine Lamas!

Nine-Lama's voice was filled with impatience and anger: "You idiot! Are you just going to admit defeat like this? Are you going to be fooled by that bastard's words?"

"Look at that little Hyuga girl in your arms!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox's voice was deafening.

Why did she make this choice?

"Is this to make you give up the fight?"

"She traded her life for yours, just so you could use it to surrender?"

"Are you going to so easily betray the will of all those who believe in you and place their hopes in you?"

"Get your act together!"

Kurama's roar struck Naruto's almost stopped heart like a heavy hammer.

He was startled and looked down at Hinata.

"Naruto! Don't give up!"

Kakashi tried to remain calm, placing his hand on Naruto's shoulder and silently transmitting his power.

"Idiot Naruto! You're not the kind of person who would give up at a time like this!"

Sakura's shouts pierced the battlefield.

"Naruto! Believe in yourself! Just as we believe in you!"

Shikamaru's voice reached Naruto's ears.

Each sound, each word, converged into a warm and powerful torrent, surging into Naruto's cold and desperate inner world.

I can't... I can't give up!

Hinata protected me with her life...

Hinata's belief that she protected with her life...

So many comrades placed their hopes on me...

How could I...

How could I possibly collapse here!

"The escapist world you're describing isn't the answer at all!"

"The real answer is to inherit the will of the deceased, safeguard the hope of the living, and create a truly peaceful world where such tragedies will never happen again!"

Naruto gently placed Hinata, whom he was holding, on the ground.

He stood up and shouted at Obito above the Ten-Tails' head, his eyes as firm as steel.
