Chapter 33: Naruto's Determination
PS: Thank you for the tips of "Sadistic Old Love", "Ruthless is Love" and "Demon God"!
###
Because of Kenshin Kamiizumi's "wind and thunder double shape", the battlefield fell into silence for a while. Of course, Too had to stop attacking because he had to resist Kenshin's counterattack. The ninjas of the Coalition Army, however, were also exhausted from resisting the rain of wooden thorns and were unable to fight back.
At this time, Kenshin's ninjutsu had stopped, and Obito also manipulated the Ten Tails to spread out the tail that surrounded his body.
"Who's that young man?"
Looking at the humble faith who showed the appearance of an immortal in front of him, Madara couldn't help but ask.
"That person's name is Kenshin Kamiizumi, nicknamed 'Wind Sword Saint', Konoha ninja Murakami Shinobi, the fastest ninja in the ninja world today, good at swordsmanship, wind escape and thunder escape, and is a genius who is still above Kakashi." Obito replied.
"Oh, genius? Hum! ”
Madara was known as a rare genius in a thousand years, so he was not interested in those so-called geniuses. The experience of standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world for many years makes Madara look down on everyone except for his lifelong friend and rival Senju Tsuruma.
"Naruto!" After blocking Kenshin's attack, Obito didn't immediately attack again, but instead spoke to Naruto, "Look around you!" ”
Naruto looked around and saw that he was surrounded by ninjas who had been injured or killed by the "art of cuttings".
"Look, that's what you rebelled against." Obito's voice sounded again, "Didn't you always say that you wanted to protect your companions?" Doesn't it mean that no one will ever be allowed to kill their companions? [Note 1] Now, do you dare to say it again? ”
(Note 1: Naruto had previously said to Obito, "Never let anyone kill my companions!") ”)
Looking at the miserable scene around him, Naruto's throat moved, unable to speak.
"Why don't you say it? Say! Obito forced Naruto, "Go and touch your companion who is getting cold a little bit, and feel the death well!" ”
Listening to Obito's words and looking at his dead companion, Naruto couldn't help but sweat oozing from his forehead.
Obito continued to strike at Naruto, "The killing will continue, and your childish words and thoughts will eventually turn into nothingness. This is the result of empty talk about ideals and hopes, this is the reality. ”
"Naruto, don't listen to him." Seeing that Naruto was a little shaken, Ninji hurriedly said, "He said this to shake your confidence. ”
Although Naruto also knew that Obito's words were not good, it was also a fact that the huge casualties of his companions were also true, and the contradiction between ideals and reality made him not know what to do for a while.
Obito continued, "Naruto, what is in such a reality? Your parents are gone, your master is gone, if you continue to resist, your companions will fall like this one by one, and you will live in a world that no one recognizes, and what awaits you in front of you is the loneliness you are most familiar with and feared! Alright, come here, Naruto! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made an invitation to Naruto.
Because Ninji did not die like in the original book, Naruto did not suffer such a strong mental impact as in the original book, and he lost his faith in a few words by Obito. On the one hand, Naruto still believes that what Obito did was wrong and should be stopped. But on the other hand, he also knew that if the war continued, new companions would surely die, and he no longer wanted to see his companions sacrificed. Faced with a dilemma, Naruto didn't know what to do next, just stared blankly.
"Naruto."
Suddenly, a call sounded next to Naruto, and Naruto, who was in a state of confusion, immediately looked up and saw Kenshin Kamiizumi standing in front of him.
"I think you've misunderstood something. What do you think we're fighting for? Kenshin Kamiizumi asked Naruto.
"Why...... And the war? Naruto repeated the question of Kenshin.
"Well, what are you fighting for?" Kenshin asked again.
Then, without waiting for Naruto to answer, he continued, "You don't think everyone is here just to protect you, do you?" Indeed, in the beginning, this war did break out to protect you and Kirabi, but now that the war has progressed, everyone is not just fighting to protect you. This war has now become a war to protect everyone, and everyone is fighting for their own future. Do you think that if you give up resistance and stop fighting, the war will end and no one will die again? I'm telling you, no! Even if you give up fighting, the war will not end, and we will all continue to fight until we are victorious! ”
Hearing Kenshin Ueizumi's declaration, Naruto's heart couldn't help but be shaken.
"I'm right." Hinata, who was beside Naruto, also spoke, "We all won't give up fighting." And I think, 'Never let anyone kill my fellows!' Neither your faith nor your words are vain. Not only Naruto, but everyone has taken this sentence and this belief to heart, and our lives are closely connected. The same is true of those who sacrificed their fellow soldiers, and they fearlessly interpret this belief. If we abandon this statement and this belief, then the sacrifice of these companions will not be meaningless? Isn't that the equivalent of us killing our own companions with our own hands and severing this bond? So, stand up with me, Naruto. ”
Naruto looked up and saw Kakashi Hachiki, Mike Kay, Sakura Haruno, Rock Lee, Inuzuka Ya, and Shino Oil...... and many other companions showed themselves full of conscious expressions.
Naruto took Hinata's hand and stood up, looking at Obito with a determined gaze.
Obito immediately understood Naruto's decision, took his hand back and said, "That's it! Then you can taste it, what is despair! ”
Then, Obito manipulated Too to wrap his body around his body with his tail, leaving only a gap in the place of his mouth. But seeing that the ten tails opened their mouths behind the tail, through the gap, they condensed the tailed beast jade again.
Because the Ten Tails had protected themselves with their tails beforehand, Kenshin Ueizumi couldn't sabotage its actions like he did last time. Seeing that the ten-tailed tailed beast jade was about to be launched, the eight-tailed human pillar Liqi Rabi suddenly jumped out from behind.
I saw that he turned into an eight-tailed form in mid-air, condensing a tailed beast jade at a speed faster than that of ten-tailed. Then it shot its own tailed beast jade towards the tailed beast jade that was about to be completed by the ten-tailed mouth. But seeing that the two tailed beast jades collided, the eight-tailed beast used his own tailed beast jade to push the ten-tailed tailed beast jade into the mouth of the ten tails. Under the impetus of the Eight Tails, the two Tailed Beast Jade fell into the belly of the Ten Tails together.
After that, a violent explosion occurred in To-Tail's stomach, and To-Tail's originally slender body swelled into a spherical shape in an instant. Because of the activity of Yao and Kirabi, another crisis was resolved.
By this time, Naruto had already taken Hinata's hand and stood up again.
"Brother Kenshin, Hinata, thank you! It's great to have you around. ”
As he spoke, an orange chakra rose from Naruto's body.
Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!
Suddenly, Hinata looked at her hand and said in surprise, "This ...... This is......! ”
I saw that as Naruto transformed into the nine-tailed chakra mode, Hinata, who had been holding hands with Naruto, was also wrapped in a layer of nine-tailed chakra. She felt a steady stream of power pouring out of her body, and she couldn't help but feel that she was omnipotent now.
"The Technique of Multiple Shadow Clones!"
Naruto split up several shadow clones. As soon as the shadow clones appeared, they began to scurry around the battlefield, clapping their hands with the surviving Combine ninjas in turn. The ninjas who had clapped their hands with Naruto immediately had a layer of nine-tailed chakra on them.
Seeing this scene, Madara and Obito were immediately startled, and Obito hurriedly manipulated one of the tails of the Ten Tails to shoot at a shadow clone of Naruto, trying to prevent him from continuing to distribute the Chakra of the Nine-Tails to the ninjas of the Combine Army.
But at this moment, Hinata hurriedly jumped out from the side.
"Gossip empty palm!"
I saw a chakra shockwave emanate from Hinata's hand, striking the tail and sending it flying backwards.
"Oh, oh, ...... with just an empty palm!"
The ninjas who were watching couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.
Even Madara couldn't help but exclaim, "The little girl has become so strong with Naruto's strength." ”
After Obito saw Naruto's chakra, an ordinary ninja could become so strong, and his heart was even more shocked, and Lonely manipulated the Ten Tails to stretch out three tails and shoot Naruto's shadow clone again.
"Multiplication!"
At this time, three ninjas from the Akido clan who had accepted Naruto's chakra stepped forward. I saw that they all performed the "multiplication technique" to turn themselves into ten-meter-tall giants, and then one by one, they firmly hugged all three tails from the ten tails.
The successive obstructions made Obito angry. He shouted, "Don't underestimate me! "I'm going to use the cutting technique to kill the three ninjas of the Akido clan.
"Shadow Mimicry!"
Just as the wooden spike was about to shoot, a group of ninjas of the Nara clan used the "shadow mimicry technique" to restrain Toao's movements. I saw that this group of ninjas of the Nara clan connected their shadows with each other, forming a thick shadow that connected to the Ten Tails, completely stopping its movements.
"Obito." Naruto said to Obito, who was standing on top of the immobile Ten Tails, "I don't know why you became the way you are, but your idea is wrong. Indeed, the sacrifice of our companions in reality will bring us a lot of pain. But isn't this pain proof that my companion is still alive? The imaginary companion in the dream who will not be injured is not real, which is equivalent to erasing the companion in reality. What you are doing is just a form of self-escape. So, no matter how heavy the pain is, I will carry it on my back and move on! ”
By this time, Naruto had already distributed the Chakra of the Nine-Tails to all the surviving Combine ninjas. Feeling the power that they had never felt in their bodies, the Ninjas of the Combined Army, who had been a little desperate due to the huge casualties of their companions, were full of confidence again, and they spontaneously followed behind Naruto and stood in front of the Ten Tails again.
