The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

The shop's lights drew Naruto in, and after standing there for a long time, he finally decided to go inside...

But to everyone's surprise, Naruto only bought one popsicle stick this time!

Naruto then sat down on a bench not far away!

Naruto kept his head down throughout the entire film, and none of the audience members could see his expression...

Above the bench stood a solitary streetlamp, its light attracting several moths to play on it. Occasionally, they would bump into the lamp, making a clanging sound.

Naruto sat alone on a chair under the streetlight, holding an opened popsicle in one hand, but the popsicle was intact, without a trace of having been eaten...

Perhaps because it had been left out for too long, the popsicle began to melt, and the melted water slowly condensed, eventually forming a droplet!

Under the influence of gravity, the water droplet slowly fell into the soil, leaving a black dot...

Then, the second and third water droplets also began to fall!

But this time, the water droplets were noticeably heavier than before! When they hit the soil, they formed several smaller droplets that fell into the surrounding soil.

The camera slowly pans upwards, and finally, people can see Naruto's expression...

At this moment, Naruto's eyes were filled with tears. The tears from his eyes slowly flowed down the corners of his eyes, and finally met, forming countless tears that fell into the soil...!

Naruto didn't react at all, didn't make a sound, didn't wipe away his tears, and didn't even blink!

Just sitting here quietly...

"I thought Naruto would cry and make a scene, but he didn't. It was just that his silent tears made me feel even worse..."

"Perhaps this is the real Naruto... Before meeting Iruka, Naruto spent countless lonely nights alone, never even shedding a tear in front of others..."

"What's even more regrettable is that they didn't even leave behind a single group photo..."

"It's truly ironic that a ninja like me, who has seen countless deaths and comedies, is actually feeling sadness at this moment!"

"The more beautiful the memory, the more painful it will be when it's lost..."

At this moment, no matter where they were in the ninja world, no matter what they were doing or whether they were on their way, they all stopped and looked at the boy in the video who was silently shedding tears!

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Kushina's tears, just like Naruto's in the video, slowly streamed down her face!

However, unlike Naruto, Kushina couldn't shed tears with a blank expression!

She was biting her lip tightly, her hands gripping the round table in the office, her expression one of deep sorrow.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Hokage's office was also feeling bad!

Some of them lowered their heads, while others turned their heads away in reluctance.

Jiraiya's face was filled with self-reproach!

"I'm so sorry, Naruto, for giving you so many bad memories!"

Jiraiya lowered his head and muttered to himself with some guilt.

"Naruto!"

Just then, Iruka slowly appeared in the video!

Upon seeing who it was, Naruto quickly wiped away the tears on his face!

"I've heard about what happened to Lord Jiraiya!"

As Iruka spoke, he sat down next to Naruto!

Naruto's head moved slightly, but his eyes remained lifeless...

"I want him to keep watching me. I really want him to see me become Hokage! I can't let that perverted sage keep seeing me embarrassed! I..."

This is probably the first time Naruto has opened up and spoken for so long since leaving the Hokage's office today!

But before he could finish speaking, Iruka interrupted him!

"Lord Jiraiya always praises you, like he's talking about his own grandson. He always speaks of you with great pride! He believes you are the one who will inherit his will! He has no doubt that you will one day become an outstanding Hokage!"

Jiraiya-sama, I've always been watching you!

Even now, somewhere, someone is watching you!

That person won't praise you if they see you looking down! So just be the person they always praise, just like before!

Don't be discouraged anymore, because you are an excellent student acknowledged by Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin!

Iruka slowly stood up, walked to Naruto, broke the popsicle in half, and then picked one up and held it out to Naruto…

Upon hearing Iruka's words, a slow smile began to appear on Naruto's face...

"Thank you, Iruka-sensei!"

Naruto slowly took the popsicle Iruka handed him and said, "!"

"Why is there so much sand? It's making my eyes water nonstop..."

0 ········Requesting flowers 0 ········

"That's right, I didn't want to cry, but sand got into my eyes, and I just couldn't hold back the tears..."

In the viewing area of ​​Sunagakure Village, many ninjas rubbed their eyes and spoke slowly.

"Ice popsicle, huh!"

In the Hokage's office, Minato watched the video and silently memorized the information!

He hoped that one day he could share an ice pop with Naruto...

In the video, the scene shifts to the morning of the next day!

Outside Naruto's house, Shikamaru kept ringing the doorbell, but strangely, no one came to answer the door...

"What? You're not home?"

Just as Shikamaru was about to give up, Naruto's door slowly opened...

"Shikamaru, what's wrong?"

Naruto stared blankly at Shikamaru and asked!

"Anyway, may I come in first?"

Then, Naruto and Shikamaru went into the house…

"So, do you understand now?"

...

Shikamaru showed Naruto the photo with the coded message on it!

"Hey, Naruto, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Naruto hadn't responded for a while, Shikamaru couldn't help but ask again!

But Naruto still didn't react!

"Naruto!"

Finally, Naruto snapped out of his daze at Shikamaru's loud shouts...

"Oh, sorry, sorry, what did you say?"

Once Naruto came to his senses, he held the photo with the coded message and apologized to Shikamaru!

"Come with me for a moment!"

"Where to?"

"Okay, just follow me!"

Shikamaru, unable to bear seeing Naruto's dejected state, took Naruto to Konoha Hospital!

"Why did you suddenly come here?!"

Naruto, standing at the hospital entrance, asked with some confusion!

"Wait a moment!"

Shikamaru smiled slightly!

"Oh, here it comes!"

At that moment, a faint sound of a door closing came through the video!

"Oh, Teacher Hong? She ate too much barbecue and was sent to the hospital! Her belly is bigger than Ding Bi's..."

"This child..."

Seeing Naruto's reaction in the video, even Kushina, whose mood had just started to improve, was completely speechless!

"Heh, Naruto's background is only 16 years old, it's normal that he doesn't know..."

Minato explained somewhat awkwardly!

The people in the viewing area were even more speechless as they stared at this oblivious boy!

"This kid made me both laugh and cry, he's something else..."

"What I mean is, there needs to be a limit to simplicity..."

Everyone started complaining!
