Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
Observation Deck.
Watching this segment on the screen.
The junior Ninja were truly startled.
Six Paths Obito on the screen suddenly grabbed Naruto's neck!
His expression before had been so sorrowful!
But his actual actions were completely opposite!
Why was Six Paths Obito so unstable?
However, as the screen continued to play.
Naruto ultimately "persuaded" him successfully.
The junior Ninja were all overjoyed.
Naruto smiled brightly, "It's just as I thought! How could something from a fantasy compare to reality? Fantasies are always rigid, soulless. Believing in fantasy is deceiving yourself..."
This was the conclusion Naruto reached after seeing the stiff Rin, stiff Kakashi-sensei, and stiff father on the screen.
Shikamaru: "If you choose Infinite Tsukuyomi, you are essentially choosing to abandon your memories of reality, ignoring the traces of your companions' existence."
Sasuke's heart settled.
He felt that this battle on the screen should be drawing to a close.
Regarding the Ninjutsu like Infinite Tsukuyomi that appeared on the screen.
Sasuke had seriously considered it.
Whether it was good or bad, whether this Uchiha senior was truly correct.
Carefully feeling his own heart.
Sasuke still couldn't forget the Uchiha clan massacre night.
His pain for so many years couldn't be easily resolved by fantasy... Jiraiya said at this moment: "What Obito on the screen chose, we can't completely say it's wrong. At least his initial thought was peace, and it seems he was ultimately stopped. It's not good for us to easily make judgments about unknown things."
"But we know that Light Screen Naruto's approach is definitely correct, and that's enough."
"'Don't underestimate the power of the masses,' this power is precisely the power of belief."
That is, conviction.
Outside Hidden Cloud Village.
Cave entrance.
The Akatsuki members present all looked at the Masked Man / Uchiha Obito.
They really wanted to know what Obito was thinking at that moment.
But Obito's strength was not something to joke about.
Itachi looked at Obito.
He knew that Obito wasn't simply convinced by Naruto and then defeated.
He also had his own resolve.
A denial of his own existence as Six Paths Obito.
A denial of his own actions.
And Rin's significance to Obito must have been quite profound... [Outside World]
[The sky remained dark]
[The blood moon hung high]
[A trace of blood ran from the corner of Six Paths Obito's mouth]
[He lay on the cold, dark rock]
[His expression was vacant, as if he might depart at any moment]
[Kakashi knelt beside him]
[Reanimated Minato with his golden cloak stood beside the two of them]
Minato's team was only missing Rin to be reunited again.
["Rin, she, she was my only light."]
["After losing Rin, the world in my eyes changed drastically."]
["It became a pitch-black hell."]
["There is no hope in this world, even though I traveled all over the world under Madara's name."]
["However, what I saw and heard only made me more convinced of this."]
["Even with this Sharingan, I still couldn't see anything."]
["Couldn't find anything."]
[Kakashi looked at the weakened Obito before him and slowly confessed]
["Actually, I don't quite understand either."]
Six Paths Obito trembled, "Then, that new path I chose..."
["The path you chose is indeed one of many paths."]
["Perhaps, it wasn't actually wrong."]
[Kakashi lowered his eyes and continued softly]
["At that time, I also felt this world was like hell."]
["I thought I had lost you, then quickly lost Rin, and finally lost Minato-sensei."]
But.
Obito had once given the young Kakashi a Jonin promotion gift from under a rock.
'No matter what the villagers say'
'You are an excellent Jonin'
'This is a small token of my appreciation'
'Please accept it'
["Although I didn't quite understand, I also tried to open my eyes and look with my heart."]
["I felt that as long as I had the Sharingan you gave me, and your words, I would be able to see clearly."]
[On the other side]
[Naruto leaped vigorously on the Divine Tree]
[Continuously jumping and climbing]
[His goal was the Divine Tree flower bud above, close to the blood moon]
[On the rock]
Six Paths Obito: "Are you referring to Naruto?"
["How can you be so sure his path won't fail?"]
Kakashi stood up and looked towards the top of the Divine Tree, "No, he certainly has a chance of failing."
Six Paths Obito was startled and asked.
["What's the difference between me and Naruto? Why do you trust him so much?"]
Looking in the direction of Naruto at the top of the Divine Tree.
It was as if he saw Naruto tirelessly and actively searching for the flower bud, then resolving it.
["Obito, because I can assert that, compared to you now, he is less likely to fail."]
["Why?"]
Kakashi answered without hesitation, with certainty: "Because if he encounters obstacles on his path, I will help him."
["Why help him?"]
["Because he won't give up on his dream, nor will he give up on reality."]
Six Paths Obito was stunned.
He only heard Kakashi continue.
["That's the kind of person he is."]
["And his determined steps attract many companions."]
["When he encounters difficulties, others will instinctively want to help him."]
["And the more such helpers there are, the closer he gets to the finish line."]
["That's the difference between you two."]
[The sky suddenly darkened]
[Rolling dark clouds blocked even the light of the blood moon]
Six Paths Obito: "Are you saying that in this pitch-black hell... there really is such a thing?"
["Actually, you're the same; if you want to see, you should be able to."]
["Because we possess the same eyes."]
["As long as reliable companions gather."]
["Hope might become a visible entity."]
["That's what I believe."]
["Obito!!"]
[Top of the Divine Tree]
Sage Naruto with orange eye shadow spotted the target.
["Shadow Clone Technique!!"]
Three Sage Naruto's shouted in unison, "Great Ball Rasengan Shuriken!!!"
["Continue, make it bigger."]
The Great Ball Rasengan's intense white, scorching light shone.
Growing larger and brighter.
In the dark world, it was the only light!
Illuminating the path for the Shinobi Alliance as they came to provide support!
Shining across the entire Ninja World!
Lighting up the lighthouses in the hearts of countless Ninja!
