Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Using the remaining Ten-Tails chakra, Obito maintained his Six Paths form and fought fiercely with Naruto, but Kamui had already been figured out.

Even with the Rinnegan, she cannot compare to Kurama in Sage Mode, and Naruto's Rinnegan is superior to hers.

"So strong..."

Minato, Kushina, and Kakashi were all present. Seeing Naruto beat up Obito like a granddaughter, they couldn't help but marvel at Naruto's potential.

Keep in mind that Naruko is only fourteen years old now. She can continue to grow. Given enough time, Naruko will become, no, even surpass the God of Shinobi.

"Teacher, let's go too!"

After Kakashi came to her senses, she stared at Obito with a complicated look in her eyes. She had once regarded Obito as her deceased best friend, but now, her hatred for Obito was etched into her bones.

When she was at her most desperate and helpless, Ningxia pulled her back at all costs and promised to stay with her until she recovered and forever.

It was Ningxia's existence that allowed her to persevere, and even though Ningxia has now disappeared, she will still strive to live on.

Because she promised Ningxia that she would live a good life, even if... she was destined to be alone in the future.

She will carry on with her memories of Ningxia and live a good life. For Ningxia... she must persevere.

"Um……"

After being resurrected, Minato kept inquiring about what Ningxia had done. To be fair, Ningxia's work was impeccable.

Even Minato is very grateful to Ningxia. If it weren't for Ningxia, Naruto probably wouldn't have had a chance to get a hot meal during his childhood, and he wouldn't be like he is now.

But... the thought that Naruko had become so obsessed because of Ningxia made Minato feel terrible.

If Ningxia were still here, everything would be alright, right?

Naruto in Kurama Sage Mode was already able to overpower Obito, and with the addition of Minato and Kakashi, Obito was completely powerless to resist.

"Uh...ah...Kakashi...?"

As his Rinnegan was punctured and destroyed, Obito seemed to have been replaced by someone, kneeling on the ground and groaning in pain.

"Obito?"

Kakashi keenly noticed that Obito's demeanor had changed, and quickly pulled Naruto back from finishing him off.

"Kakashi... Kakashi..."

Obito looked at Kakashi, Minato, and Naruto with his remaining Sharingan, his eyes filled with guilt.

"I...I'm sorry, Kakashi, teacher, and...Naruko, but you must remember that I am just Izuna's puppet."

"So... don't let your guard down! The Kara organization is dangerous! And Rin, she's right next to Izuna, save her."

"Nin...uh...Kakashi! Use Lightning Blade on my head! I don't want to be controlled anymore! Please..."

Obito spoke very quickly, revealing as much information as he knew as possible, and then urging Kakashi to kill him.

"Obito..."

The sudden change left Kakashi bewildered, but Obito urged him on again with a stern voice.

She carries the mark left by Izuna in her mind, and if it isn't broken, she will only continue to hurt others.

"I'll do it."

Naruko realized that Kakashi was unwilling to kill, so she offered to do it herself, but was ultimately stopped by the determined Kakashi.

"Leave it to me."

Kakashi's tone was frighteningly calm as he already conjured the Lightning Blade in his hand, aiming it at Obito's head...

With a sound like fireworks exploding, Obito felt as if his brain had been emptied, and with his remaining consciousness he looked at Kakashi with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

I'm finally free. I'm so sorry... Brother Ningxia, I'm so sorry, Lin, I messed everything up...

As his consciousness gradually faded, Obito, filled with guilt, embarked on his journey to the Pure Land, but suddenly felt a sense of reality in his body—she… had been resurrected?

"Kakashi, I will always protect you."

Ningxia's voice echoed in Kakashi's ears. This was a mark that Ningxia had left long ago to prevent Kakashi from falling into darkness again.

When Kakashi killed Obito, Kakashi, who was already on the verge of collapse, fell into despair.

Why do the people around them leave one by one? Rin and Obito clearly didn't want to die, but they had to die for their own reasons.

Even Ningxia... is gone.

Why is this world like this? This world... is hell!

This despair triggered Ningxia's mark, successfully bringing Kakashi back and incidentally saving Obito, who had just been shot in the head.

"Ningxia..."

Kakashi closed his eyes, as if he could still feel Ningxia beside him.

She knew that Ningxia would not leave her; Ningxia... had always been by her side.

"Kakashi?"

Naruko glanced at Obito, who had fully recovered, and she was absolutely certain that only Ningxia could have done this.

"Naruto, Ningxia... he's always been protecting us..."

Kakashi clutched the amulet left by Ningxia, as if he could still feel the lingering warmth from when Ningxia made it, and the promises they made during the New Year.

Naruko looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression, and then sensed... a familiar aura in the air, but it quickly dissipated with the wind, leaving only an even more empty sense of loss.

"Um... Naruko, tomorrow is your birthday. Kushina made you a cake. Let's go."

Minato approached Naruko, trying to distract her by mentioning her birthday.

But when Naruko hears that tomorrow is her birthday, she always thinks of the cake Ningxia would prepare for her every year, and how everyone would surround her and give her their blessings.

Seeing this, Minato's lips twitched. He knew that Naruko was starting to reminisce again. Ningxia was just too important to Naruko.

On October 10th of the second year of Konoha, Ningxia suddenly made a big cake, topped with Naruko's favorite fruits and cream that was hard to come by these days.

The cake was beautiful, attracting Hashirama's attention. He exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the cake, while Tobirama gently tapped Hashirama beside him.

She knew that Ningxia would bake cakes several times a year, and the reason she didn't bring them last year was mainly because she had broken up Ban's house.

"Hikari, could you blow out the candles for Naruko?"

Ningxia felt guilty towards Mingzi and the others. He wanted to go back as soon as possible, but he couldn't leave now.

Unbeknownst to him, he had become entangled in many things in this era, and at the very least, he could not leave this place until he completed the necessary tasks and awakened the Rabbit Talisman.

"Oh~"

Guang wasn't jealous. Ningxia would celebrate her birthday, and there would be two birthdays: one was the birthday her parents celebrated, and the other was the birthday she was born from the seal.

Ningxia gently blew on the candle, and as the candle went out, she began to cut the cake for the women.

He placed two of them on the balcony, chatted with Ban for a while using the sheep talisman mark, and then returned to the group.

Everyone dotes on Hikari, especially Tobirama and Hashirama. Even though Hikari is a bit of a nuisance, she's well-behaved and sensible! And she always stays with Ningxia.

If... even if the relationship with Ningxia is confirmed, Guang will definitely still live with them, so it's best to establish a good relationship in advance.
