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

"This must be class assignment, right, Kakashi?" Minato asked, watching the video.

"Yes...yes," Kakashi said, wiping the sweat from his brow, sounding a little guilty.

"Thank goodness we skipped that part," Kakashi thought thankfully!

If his teachers and mentors knew that Naruto's first kiss was taken by an Uchiha boy, and that he was watching from above the crystal ball, he wasn't sure he'd even survive to leave this building...

Minato and Kushina looked at Kakashi, who seemed guilty, with some confusion, but they didn't delve into it. Instead, they continued to look at the video.

Naruto slipped a chalk eraser between the door cracks, wanting to teach the late teacher a lesson.

Everyone in the Hokage Building smiled slightly at the prank!

"Kakashi, you won't get hit by such a simple trap, will you? That would be so embarrassing!" Rin said to Kakashi with a smile.

"Who knows! Maybe I'll actually get hit," Kakashi said with his eyes closed and his signature smile on his face.

Sure enough, just as Kakashi was about to open the door, a chalk eraser from the crack in the door struck Kakashi's white-haired head.

Watching Naruto laugh heartily in the video, Minato and Kushina smiled with some relief. Perhaps Naruto had suffered a lot of unfair treatment in his childhood, but he was still able to face life with optimism, which was the most gratifying thing for them!

[The video continues playing, now showing the bell-stealing drill! In the video, Naruto directly confronts Kakashi, who easily dodges the attacks, and is ultimately defeated by a ninjutsu called 'Thousand Years of Death'...]

Looking at their son in the video, Minato and Kushina felt a little embarrassed.

"This child really is just like you, Kushina," Jiraiya exclaimed.

Everyone smiled kindly. Perhaps to others, Naruto in the video seemed silly, but it's often this kind of 'fool' that touches people's hearts.

Previously, the ninja world was filled with daily killing, hatred, and scheming. Intelligent people had long since become numb, just like what Gaara said to the Third Tsuchikage in the future memory: "When did you lose yourself?" Intelligent people only care about the gains and losses of memories; only 'fools' would care about others.

"Perhaps Naruto's ability to change the ninja world in the future is related to this 'foolish' spirit," everyone thought.

This memory gradually came to an end, concluding with Team 7 passing Kakashi's test.

However, after the video ended, Kushina did not stop, but continued to inject chakra into the memory crystal.

The crowd in the square saw the scene pause and prepared to go home, but after a short while, the memories resumed playing, and the crowd stopped and continued watching the screen.

The video begins in a foggy area, where a young boy lies on the ground. Sasuke Uchiha stands before Naruto, his body pierced by steel needles. Despite his severe injuries, he stands strong. Naruto slowly raises his head, and Sasuke says:

"Naruto, honestly, you're always like this, you're just getting in the way!"

Naruto, not seeing Sasuke's upper body and with the enemy already down, exclaimed happily, "Not bad, Sasuke!"

But when he realized what was happening, he froze. Sasuke Uchiha was covered in steel needles, looking like a hedgehog, blood gushing from his body. Naruto was stunned to see Sasuke like this. Sasuke turned around, smiled slightly, and said...

"What kind of expression is that? You're such a complete idiot!"

Naruto quickly sat up and said, "Why...why did you take that for me?"

"How should I know?" Sasuke looked up at the sky and said, "Why is that?"

My thoughts began to reminisce about everything that happened after I formed Team 7 with Naruto.

After thinking it over, she lowered her head and said, "I clearly hate you the most."

Naruto stood up and said excitedly, "Why? Why did you save me?"

Sasuke didn't say anything, but smiled slightly with his back to Naruto!

Naruto clenched his fists and yelled at him, "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

The scene froze for a moment, and after a long while, Sasuke slowly said, "How was I supposed to know that my own body would make the decision to save you on its own?"

As he was about to collapse, Naruto rushed over and caught him: "Sasuke!"

Sasuke didn't give Naruto a chance, and slowly said, "That...that man, I made up my mind, before I kill my brother...how could I just die like this?"

After speaking, he slowly raised his hand, as if grasping something.

"Don't you dare die, Naruto!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes. Naruto was stunned, his sky-blue eyes filled with disbelief as he stared blankly at the motionless Sasuke, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, the boy opposite him stood up and said, "He bravely rushed in to protect someone important to him, even knowing it was a trap. He is a ninja worthy of respect."

After saying that, he turned around and continued, "Is this the first time you've witnessed the death of a comrade? This is the path a ninja must walk."

After speaking, he slowly melted into the ice.

"Stop nagging," Naruto said slowly, putting Sasuke down. "Me too, I used to hate you the most."

At this moment, steam began to rise around Naruto, but he seemed oblivious and continued, "Unforgivable!" Red, spiraling chakra slowly rose, seemingly alive, sweeping across the ground and causing cracks to appear. Then, the chakra rose again, crisscrossing in the air to form a series of 'well' shapes.

Naruto began to tremble uncontrollably, the six slashes on his face became even more pronounced, and his eyes, which had turned from sky blue to blood red, snarled:

"I'm going to kill you with my own hands."

Chapter 49 The Meaning of Ninjas (Part 1)

The red chakra grew larger and larger, beginning to engulf Naruto's figure!

"How could this be? How could there be such chakra?" the boy exclaimed in surprise! "Impossible! Chakra can actually materialize! Moreover, this kind of chakra is extremely repulsive!"

Red chakra began to condense in the air, and a fox-shaped figure formed in the air. Meanwhile, the steel needles that were originally stuck in Naruto's body began to be expelled, and his injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The boy opposite Naruto looked at him in surprise, while Naruto was also looking at the boy, but his eyes were extremely fierce.

"Such an astonishing killing intent! He's completely different from that boy from before!" Haku exclaimed in surprise, seeing that Naruto seemed to have become a completely different person.

Naruto didn't hear what Haku said; his mind was filled with thoughts of avenging Sasuke!

"Here it comes!" Naruto walked towards him, and Haku quickly picked up a steel needle and shot it at Naruto. When the steel needle flew in front of Naruto, Naruto simply roared and sent the steel needle flying!

"What?" Bai was taken aback that his attack was so easily neutralized. However, Bai was a seasoned veteran, and despite his surprise, he was quick and dodged to another block of ice!

Avoiding the attack from Haku, and seeing that Naruto was unguarded behind him, he shot out more than a dozen steel needles, piercing Naruto's body and turning him into a hedgehog!

However, such an attack did not cause Naruto any harm. Naruto simply roared and, with a burst of strength, dislodged the steel needles embedded in his body.

Naruto's strength left Haku helpless for a time, but Naruto wasn't going to stop and wait for him. Enraged, Naruto attacked him directly. The Nine-Tails' chakra not only fully healed Naruto's injuries, but also increased his movement speed several times over. Naruto seized the opportunity and ran straight towards the ice block where Haku was, throwing a punch that shattered the ice block instantly!

"Watch this!" But Haku was no slouch either. The instant the ice shattered, he hid inside the broken pieces, waiting for an opening in Naruto's attack to launch a sneak attack from behind. But Naruto was even faster. The moment Haku attacked, he spun around and dodged!

After dodging, Haku instantly revealed his true form. It turned out that Naruto's goal was to get Haku to leave the ice block where he was hiding. At this moment, Haku also realized Naruto's plan and, sensing that something was wrong, hurriedly flew towards the ice block. However, Naruto clearly wouldn't give him that chance and chased after him, instantly grabbing Haku's hand!

"Impossible!" Haku exclaimed in terror as he was captured. At that moment, Naruto's killing intent completely suppressed Haku, and red chakra burst forth from Naruto's body.

"No, there's nothing I can do, I just can't withstand this kind of power!" Haku said with some pain, looking at the power that Naruto Uzumaki was unleashing.

But Naruto clearly wasn't going to let him off the hook. Naruto clenched his right fist tightly and then slammed it hard into Haku's face!

The terrifying force sent Bai flying, like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ice wall behind him.

After smashing through the ice wall, the force didn't diminish at all, and it slammed heavily into the ground!

Seeing this, the viewers were quite shocked and couldn't help but start discussing it.

"As expected of a hero of the ninja world! His strength is clearly at the level of a Jonin!" someone exclaimed in surprise!

"With this level of power he's unleashed, it looks like I'll never catch up to him in my entire life." Some ninjas were also frightened by the power Naruto had unleashed!

"Don't worry! Not only will you not be able to catch up in your next life, but you probably won't be able to catch up in the life after that either!" One of the reborn individuals couldn't help but say after hearing what the other person had just said!

Of course, it's not all about Naruto's strength; some people are also discussing the bond between Sasuke and Naruto!

"Now I finally understand why Naruto Uzumaki still couldn't forget Sasuke Uchiha after Sasuke betrayed Konoha."

"Yes! So their bond was formed at that moment!"

"Why does Sasuke, who values ​​his comrades so much now, turn out like that later?"

The square was buzzing with discussion, with all sorts of topics being discussed, and it quickly became very lively!

Inside the Hokage Building, Kushina was also watching intently, as was Minato, who couldn't help but think, "This person's bloodline limit is very similar to that of the boy I brought back from Kirigakure! Could it be..."

Haku struggled to his feet after being knocked down, clearly suffering serious injuries and unable to maintain his bloodline limit! However, Naruto Uzumaki obviously wasn't going to let him go. Seeing Haku get up, Naruto quickly walked towards him.

At this point, Bai was in despair, and he couldn't help but think:

“I am no match for this boy, Mr. Zabuza, I have already…”

As he was thinking, the mask that Naruto had broken fell off, and a moment later, the mask had completely fallen off!

The video showed a handsome young man with listless eyes. Strangely, after revealing the boy's true form, Naruto stopped attacking! His red glasses returned to their original color, and the red chakra disappeared!

"So it was you. You were from back then," a gentle voice appeared in Naruto's mind.

"Why? Why didn't you kill your most important companion? I just killed him to protect you. Why didn't you kill me instead?" Bai said, his eyes lifeless.

Naruto turned his head, looked at Sasuke's figure, and angrily punched him. Without the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto's punch wasn't fast; Haku could have easily dodged it, but he didn't, standing there dumbfounded, enduring Naruto's rage! This punch knocked Haku to the ground, causing him to vomit blood.

"Where did your earlier aura go? You can't possibly kill me now," Bai said, sitting up and wiping the blood from his mouth. "He must be a very important person to you, right?"

Looking at Haku like this, Naruto recalled the words he had spoken to Haku when they met over the years. Haku was now able to stand, and he didn't continue speaking:

"Often, people don't understand the situation and show mercy to enemies who should be killed, even finding excuses to let them live! That kind of thing is not compassion to me at all."

Bai muttered to himself:

"Do you know what it means to exist without dreams, without being needed by anyone, and with nothing left but the pain of simply being alive?"

Naruto, not understanding the meaning of the spoken language, couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Zabuza-san doesn't need a useless ninja. You've already taken away the reason I existed!"
