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

"It might be cruel to say this!"

"Say it quickly!"

Nara Shikaku's words piqued everyone's curiosity!

"Because Naruto likes her!"

Nara Shikaku replied!

"What do you mean?"

Nara Shikaku's words left everyone even more confused!

"Actually, this isn't a big secret. Jinchuriki are at risk of going berserk, and every country has its own methods for dealing with these risks! The Konoha method is to strengthen the bonds and restrain them!"

"So you chose Sakura?"

"Well... after all, besides the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan is the only other clan capable of suppressing the power of the tailed beasts!"

However, since there were no descendants of the Thousand Hands at that time, "

"So you've taken a shortcut, hoping to target the Jinchūriki and use their emotions to suppress any potential Tailed Beasts?"

"..."

"Don't you think it's cruel to Sakura to do this?"

Upon hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Tsunade angrily stepped forward and roared!

P.S.: I wasn't feeling well yesterday and didn't update. I'll make it up tomorrow!

Chapter 123 Confession

"It wouldn't be cruel. Although there is a certain threat to the body of a Jinchuriki, we have also prepared the most reliable teachers and companions for them!"

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said!

"Because you like her, you don't want to hurt her. Because you don't want to hurt her, you have to suppress the tailed beast within you, right?"

"That's pretty much it. Back then, no one in Konoha was qualified to team up with the Jinchuriki of the strongest Tailed Beast in the ninja world. That was the best possible outcome..."

The Third Hokage sighed and said slowly.

"Why didn't I know about this?"

After listening to the explanations from the Third Hokage and Shikaku Nara, Tsunade gradually calmed down!

"At the time, only I, the Third Hokage, Danzo, the two advisors, and Kakashi knew about this. We didn't tell anyone else, and there wasn't even a record of it..."

Nara Shikaku stared at the ceiling and said in a lazy tone!

"Kakashi knows too?"

Tsunade's expression turned cold as she looked at Kakashi with a suspicious gaze.

"Of course Kakashi needs to know. As descendants of the Uchiha clan and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, Naruto and Sasuke are destined to become ninjas, so this matter definitely needs to be discussed with Kakashi!"

Orochimaru stepped forward and spoke in a hoarse voice!

"They really arranged everything perfectly!"

Tsunade retorted sarcastically!

"The ninja world is a place full of killing, and ninjas deal with death every day. This arrangement is for their own good!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said!

"That's enough, Sakura! This kind of joke isn't funny at all!"

"Why are you angry! I've just transferred my feelings from Sasuke to you. Aren't they saying a woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea?"

"I hate people who deceive themselves!"

In the video, Sakura, Kiba, Sai, and Lee found Naruto!

Then Sakura did something that shocked everyone!

"Sigh, how could her tricks possibly fool Naruto!"

"It's really tough on Naruto. He just finished dealing with Pain, and now he has to deal with Sasuke and Team 7..."

"Most importantly, not only did he have no one to help him, but he also had a whole bunch of people who were just making things worse..."

"Is this Sakura a bit naive? Even I don't believe this kind of lie, but she told it to Naruto?"

Inside the Hokage Building, Rin watched Sakura's confession in the video and asked in shock!

"It's not just naivety, it's downright stupidity!"

Obito Uchiha said bluntly without any mercy!

"Wasn't she supposed to be very smart? How come?"

Even the Third Hokage was shocked!

"Perhaps it's because I'm too concerned..."

Tsunade said somewhat embarrassedly…

"Although I'm happy that so many girls like Sasuke, why do I feel a pang of sadness for Naruto when I see this scene..."

In the movie theater, Uchiha Mikoto said in disbelief!

"In just a few days, Naruto first experienced the death of his teacher, then the destruction of the village, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade who had always trusted him falling into a coma, the rare opportunity to see his father, only to part again after exchanging a few words, then his best friend in class being wanted by the police, and then being betrayed by the girl he liked... It feels like Naruto has experienced all the painful things in the ninja world..."

Itachi Uchiha said with some reluctance!

"Those companions are really something, coming out to cause trouble at a time like this..."

Someone nearby complained!

"He messes everything up, and in the end, Naruto always has to clean up the mess. Sigh, that kid really has it tough!"

"Who says otherwise? It's not that I look down on these kids from Konoha, but Sasuke's strength is already comparable to the Five Kage. When he gets Itachi's eyes, his strength will definitely surpass the combined strength of the Five Kage. What can they possibly do against him?"

"Sigh, all I can say is that they really don't know their own limitations!"

Why do I suddenly want to see Naruto driven to the brink by Konoha and then turn to the dark side?

"I want to see it too!"

In the viewing area, everyone was talking about the video!

Almost everyone was indignant on Naruto's behalf!

"Naruto, let me make this clear: this is a war to protect the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails, and also to protect you, for the sake of the ninja world. As the Kazekage, I will fight to the death to protect you. And if Sasuke Uchiha, a member of Akatsuki, appears as an opponent of our Allied Shinobi Forces, I will show no mercy!"

In the video, as soon as Sakura and the others left, Sai's clone appeared and told Naruto the reason for Sakura's unusual behavior!

After that, the Fourth Kazekage, Gaara, also arrived!

"Naruto, you told me you were going to become Hokage. I'm Kazekage now. If you're prepared to bear the title of Kage, then as Sasuke's friend, do what you should do!"

Gaara tried to persuade Naruto to give up on Sasuke, but Naruto was also caught in a deep confusion!

"I consider you my friend. For me before, 'friend' was just a word, without any other meaning. But since meeting you, I've realized that the important thing is the meaning of this word. What is the meaning of this word? What are you willing to do for Sasuke? Think about it carefully!"

Gaara's words left Naruto speechless for a long time!

"Naruto!"

Yamato wanted to go and try to persuade Naruto, but Kakashi stopped him!

"You have to find the answers yourself!"

For a moment, the whole thing fell silent!

On a vast, snow-covered land, the road ahead seemed exceptionally uncertain!

Naruto stood there quietly, constantly recalling things about Sasuke. The more he thought about it, the more erratic his breathing became...

"Naruto, what's wrong?"

As Naruto's breathing grew heavier, Kakashi noticed that something was wrong with him!

"Calm down, Naruto!"

At this moment, Naruto clutched his heart tightly with his hand, and his body finally gave way, causing him to kneel on the ground!

Naruto's sudden change not only startled Kakashi and the others, but also made the audience tense!

"Is it hyperrespiration!?"

【"Breathe slowly"】

"Naruto, Naruto!"

Can you hear me, Naruto?

Naruto's consciousness began to waver, and he eventually collapsed in the snow!

"Kakashi, what's going on?"

Inside the Hokage Building, Minato's expression was unusually grim.

Chapter 124 The Angry Watergate

"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. It could be due to excessive anxiety, or it could be a lingering effect from after Sasuke pierced through my body at the Valley of the End..."
