Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

These are the ninjas of Konoha.

Where leaves dance in the air, fire burns eternally; this is the Will of Fire of Konoha.

However, the comments that appeared on the video the next second made them freeze in place.

Yes, why choose death to gain freedom? Isn't it because we lack freedom while we're alive?

(Uchiha Madara: Heh, what's so special about this?)

(Uchiha Izuna: To ensure the peace of the village, we have to let the villagers die? I can't understand it.)

(Madara Uchiha: I already said that Hashirama was wrong; you've got the priorities backwards.)

(Hashirama Senju: Madara, you had foresight. It was my fault; I set a bad example for later ninjas.)

To protect the village, he was willing to kill his own brothers, family members, and even his son; that's probably the extent of his extremism.

This led the ninjas who succeeded him to a path that went in the wrong direction.

Just like Hiruzen, who constantly sacrificed villagers in pursuit of peace, and Itachi Uchiha, who killed his entire clan for the sake of peace.

(Tobirama Senju: As Hokage, one can sacrifice oneself to ensure the peace of the village, but one cannot actively use the sacrifice of a small number of villagers to seek peace for the majority. Such a village will have no future or light.)

(Hiruzen Sarutobi: I'm so sorry, it's all my fault.)

I can understand now why Sasuke said it was a shackle of fate.

Neji's father chose death to achieve his freedom, and Neji did the same.

It may seem like freedom, but isn't it just a helpless act under the premise of not having freedom?

Tobirama sighed deeply. After watching so many videos, he began to recall the village's situation when it was first established.

If he were back then... never mind, there's no use thinking about it anymore, it's all in the past.

Kakashi Hatake felt somewhat relieved. At least the Caged Bird Seimei had changed in the future, and there shouldn't be any more tragedies like those involving Hizashi and Neji.

He thought of his three disciples, a faint smile appearing in his eyes. As long as he kept going, he would eventually meet companions who would fill the void in his heart.

Things that couldn't be changed before will always change.

So... Obito, I will stop you. His gaze instantly filled with a dark determination, no matter the cost.

The camera returns to Sasuke, who pauses for a second and says, "I admire Neji's death and thank him for his willingness to sacrifice himself for Naruto, but I also hope everyone can see the irrationality behind this tragic sacrifice."

Why is freedom only attainable at the moment of death? Why is peace only achieved through sacrifice?

[If it were Naruto... when Sasuke picked up his pen, looking at Naruto's back outside the courtyard, if he were the loser, he would choose to have it all.]

He possesses the courage and ability that the third generation lacks.

Konohamaru nodded admiringly. "Truly as dignified as Lord Sasuke, as calm and objective as ever."

"Where's Naruto?"

Naruto's gaze darkened, his eyes becoming calm. Only at times like these did everyone realize that Naruto seemed to have grown up.

"Neji has already broken free from his fate, so I will help him complete what he couldn't finish and change the fate of the Hyuga clan."

Chapter 72 You said I was a loser, I said you were a genius

Another video clip was inserted into the live stream.

In the scene, Neji and Naruto are standing facing each other.

Off-screen, Naruto scratched his head in confusion, "When was that?"

The person inside looks to be the same age as him, but he hasn't experienced the fight with Neji yet.

Sasuke tapped Naruto on the head. "Idiot, you can tell it's the Chunin Exams, but our Chunin Exams have been interrupted."

"Oh, I see. That's why I don't know Neji."

Neji, sitting opposite them, looked at the screen with some curiosity.

At the start of the match, Naruto used his most frequently used Shadow Clone Technique, and a large group of Narutos rushed forward, making a lot of noise.

Neji activated his Byakugan, easily dealt with the situation, and then bypassed a large number of Naruto clones to find the 'real body'. He believed that the one that attacked the least was the real body.

Naruto, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, raised his head and laughed arrogantly, "So, didn't I tell you not to make decisions so casually?"

"Could it be?!" Neji was suddenly startled. The Naruto he thought was the real Naruto vanished with a bang. He turned around abruptly, and two Narutos rushed over, their fists aimed directly at his cheeks.

Blue chakra suddenly erupted, surging around Neji. He turned around, forming a 360-degree absolute chakra defense that sent Naruto flying.

Back to the days!

Hiashi Hyuga, watching from outside the screen, stared wide-eyed in astonishment, never expecting Neji's talent to reach such a level.

"Wow, amazing! What is this?!" Naruto's eyes widened in surprise. The visual effect looked a bit like his Rasengan.

Naruto, who had just learned the Rasengan from the perverted sage, thought this and stared at the screen with even greater focus.

"Gentle Fist Technique, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Neji struck a pose as if spreading his wings like a great roc, and rushed towards Naruto.

"Eight Trigrams Second Palm!"

"Eight Trigrams Four Palms!"

"Eight Palms!"

"Thirty-two palms!"

"Sixty-four palm strikes!"

Bang bang bang!

The chakra that erupted from his palm struck Naruto's body, sealing his sixty-four pressure points.

For a moment, Naruto could barely stand up.

"Is it painful? Kneeling before a power you cannot change, realizing your own powerlessness."

"The idea that dreams can come true through hard work is just wishful thinking."

"Hmph, I don't like that at all."

Out of fear of embarrassment, the three classes who had gathered to eat barbecue quickly dispersed. On the way home with Sasuke, Naruto held the back of his head with both hands, looking extremely disdainful.

“Yeah, who told you to be the worst student?” Sasuke nodded calmly.

"What did you say?! I'll catch up with you soon!"

Sasuke casually replied, "Mmm..."

Naruto struggled to his feet. "I told you, I don't like giving up."

Neji gritted his teeth and told Naruto about the inescapable fate of the branch family: the cursed seal of the Caged Bird Technique.

On Hinata's third birthday, he had a caged bird tattooed on his forehead, and his father was killed by the main branch of the family.

From that time on, he harbored an intense hatred for the main family.

"Fate was decided from the very beginning of this exam; your fate was to lose to me."

"You can't make a decision like this without trying!" Naruto refused to give up, but was punched squarely in the stomach and fell to the ground.

He got up again.

Neji: "How could someone like you possibly understand the pain of carrying a destiny that can never be erased in one's lifetime!"

How could he not understand?

No one understood it better than him.

Naruto lowered his head, his gaze unreadable.

A young child stood crying in the isolated crowd, with the ferocious nine-tailed fox following him like a demon's curse, forever haunting him.

The indifference, disgust, rejection, and Nine-Tails' hatred were all concentrated on one child.

what is that? !

Neji frowned. He suddenly remembered the Nine-Tails incident written in the history books, and the occasional encounters with the residents on the street who disliked and rejected Naruto.

Is that why?!

The Nine-Tails was sealed inside him?

A painful fate that can never be erased... So that's how it is, so we are the same.

Neji bit his lower lip tightly, lowering his head in disbelief. So what was he talking about?

Naruto opened his eyes, his blue pupils flashing with determination. "I understand, so what? Don't think you're the only one in this world who's special."

"As a branch family member who is supposed to protect the main family, you took advantage of the exam to beat Hinata up like that. You were actually rebelling against fate yourself."

......

At the crucial moment, Naruto extracted the Nine-Tails' chakra at incredible speed, making it difficult for anyone to deal with him.

"I don't know about the resentful fate of the branch family that you mentioned. Since you've said you can't resist it, then let it be. Once I become Hokage, I will help you change the fate of the Hyuga clan!"

A violent collision between the Rejuvenation Technique and the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The examination hall was filled with loud noises and billowing dust.

After the smoke cleared, Neji climbed out of the large crater he had been hit by, and everyone thought Neji had won.

However, the next second, a dramatic change occurred.

Neji, who went inside to see Naruto, thought, "Loser, sorry, that's reality..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto suddenly appeared beneath his feet and punched him in the chin.

Neji fell to the ground; the outcome was decided.

Neji was convinced. "Using Shadow Clone Jutsu in that situation, is that your specialty? I was careless."

However, the truth shocked Neji once again: "I failed the graduation exam three times because I was very unlucky. The ninjutsu questions in the graduation exam were always the ninjutsu I was least good at."

"The Shadow Clone Technique used to be the ninjutsu I was least proficient in."

"So stop saying things like 'fate can't be changed,' because you're different from me; you're not a loser."
