The confrontation between Naruto and Obito had actually ended long ago. Obito had no choice at all. Everything started because of Rin Nohara, and naturally it had to end for Rin Nohara as well.

Resurrection is more appealing than creating a new world.

Although Naruto preferred Obito Uchiha's cautious rejection, this would allow Naruto to torment him further. For example, he could say, "No way, you don't care about Rin Nohara at all."

No wonder Rin Nohara seems to prefer Kakashi, who's heartbroken over her. Stop pretending, you trash.

The matter was brought to a close, Obito's plan to capture the Nine -Nine-Tails was also completely disrupted by Naruto. Sasuke Uchiha was still on his way on horseback.

Even though tonight's events seemed to end abruptly and without serious consequences, Naruto realized that he, Obito Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and the Otsutsuki all seemed to be moving towards a bigger stage.

Originally scattered throughout the Shinobi World, these forces have gradually converged over time, vying for supremacy in the Shinobi World, centered around the Nine-Tails.

Now it all comes down to how strong each side is, how tough their fists are, and how much power they wield.

He stood on a distant telephone pole, gazing down at the scene of the Hinata reunion Yamanaka Clan the mountains near the village entrance. Both women's families were present, and Naruto didn't dare approach.

We could only watch from afar, and the picture wasn't very clear.

This experience was just a minor incident; although it ended without serious harm, it wasn't a big deal. For some reason, it seems that once you're associated with the Nine-Tails, you can't escape the fate of being at the center of the Uzumaki.

"However, it's not entirely without its benefits; at least things seem to have taken a turn for the better," Naruto muttered to himself from his high vantage point.

"As expected, the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish; opportunity and misfortune often go hand in hand."

If this incident hadn't happened, in the peaceful Shinobi World, neither Yamanaka Clan nor Hinata would have accepted his coveting what he had. But with chaos looming, who can escape the temptations of the world?

He has no intention of being a savior, and Sasuke probably doesn't have that thought either. With the Otsutsuki's fate sealed, the Shinobi World is bound to descend into chaos sooner or later.

Although Obito, that idiot, was a bit of a chuunibyou and hypocrite, he was right about one thing: as long as ninjas exist in this world, the march of war will never stop.

Where there are people, there is conflict; where there is conflict, there is a world of its own. On a small scale, it's a brawl between villages; on a large scale, it's war.

There are ways for ninjas to maintain peace, such as transforming into the Hashirama Senju to keep order. Even if war resumes a hundred years later, so what? Just have another Hashirama Senju.

The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unity, and after a long period of unity, there will be

If no strong-willed savior steps forward, the Fourth Shinobi World War will inevitably break out sooner or later. After all, Black Zetsu is like weeds, impossible to eradicate completely, and will eventually revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Keep chasing after Black Zetsu? That's too hasty. As the ancients said thousands of years ago, it's better to guide than to block.

Black Zetsu is omnipresent if he so desires. Moreover, he has been lying dormant for so long without any apparent lifespan limit, demonstrating his extraordinary patience.

Was he supposed to live in constant fear, with so many people he cared about, and always have to operate in secret? How could that be? Since Black Zetsu wanted to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki, then let him do it.

If you want the Nine-Tails, just take it.

As long as the women around him are safe, Black Zetsu doesn't care what he does; he'll just sit back and wait for that moment to arrive. A good sword is only used at the crucial moment.

Now that he has Obito Uchiha face and given him a sweet treat, that guy will most likely not want to provoke him again.

Dawn broke and the sky brightened.

Seeing Ino and Hinata being taken away by their parents in the distance, Naruto simply went home to sleep. He couldn't be bothered to report to Kakashi or anything; someone would come looking for him anyway.

Following his memories back to his familiar home, Naruto retrieved the various brochures from the door. Nikko slanted into the hallway as Naruto retrieved his key from his Sealing Space.

He skillfully inserted the key into the lock, turning it a few times before the lock clicked open. The house looked exactly the same, not even dusty.

Either it's the Nine-Tails, or someone else cleaned it up. But the Nine-Tails... forget it, that guy's always drunk, probably lying on some rooftop right now.

He wasn't too particular. He took a shower, dried himself off, put on his underwear, went into the bedroom, turned on the air conditioner, covered himself with a blanket, and went straight to sleep.

He woke up to find it was already dusk. He struggled to get out of bed, yawning as he swung his large pendulum. Slipping on his slippers, he lazily walked forward and flung open the door.

The living room was filled with the glow of the sunset, its warm yellow light scattering across the walls. It was as if someone had forcibly crammed the sunset into the space, bathing it in a gentle orange glow.

The curtains fluttered, and a figure walked in through the balcony window with elegant steps.

Uzuki Yugao wore a green vest Jonin of Konohagakure, and her purple hair was tied in a bun. Surprisingly, she wasn't wearing a mask, revealing fair skin and delicate red lips.

Perhaps the vest was too tight, pressing a curve into her chest, like an inverted jade bowl.

Naruto glanced at the newcomer, too lazy to change his clothes, and went shirtless in just his underwear. He yawned, walked into the kitchen, and while filling a glass with water, looked at Uzuki Yugao standing in the living room and asked.

"Sent here for questioning? Lady Yugao?"

Hearing those teasing words, Uzuki Yugao didn't react. She knew this person all too well; she probably just found him troublesome.

"I can't help it, this is my job, please cooperate." Uzuki Yugao swayed, bent down to find a cup in the living room, and went to make tea for herself.

"You've been using this lame excuse for years, can't you come up with something new?" Naruto, somewhat speechless. He raised his cup to drink water, glancing at the widow not far away.

Something about Uzuki Yugao seems off today, like something's not quite right. Could it be Black Zetsu in disguise? Oh well, I'm not interested in aliens.

However, Black Zetsu shouldn't be bothering me so soon, unless my bones are loose.

"No." Uzuki Yugao finished brewing the tea and said slowly, "You are not the same as before. Sending a green Anbu would most likely result in you just giving up on him."

"It's just a mission report, right?" Naruto put down his water glass, walked to the sofa, and sprawled out, staring at the ceiling. "What does Kakashi want to know?"

"Was this an intrusion targeting you?" Uzuki Yugao sat upright on the sofa, gently blowing on her tea with her red lips. "The Anbu didn't notice anything at all."

"Well, the person who came claimed to be Uchiha Madara, but I'm not quite sure who he really is." Naruto left the story unfinished, glancing at Uzuki Yugao out of the corner of his eye.

"But they didn't get very far before I intercepted them. Ino and Hinata should be home safely by now, right?"

"Yes, she was just a little frightened. I heard that the Hinata and Yamanaka Clan have increased their vigilance, Ino has been taken to live in the Yamanaka Clan's ancestral home by Lord Inoichi."

Uzuki Yugao slowly said, "If you want to see Ino, I'm afraid it won't be possible for a while."

"Why?" he asked.

"The elders aren't stupid; they can see through the trickery in this incident. Those people are clearly after you." Uzuki Yugao smiled.

"More importantly, they kidnapped both Ino and Hinata at the same time. What do you think that means?"

"I don't know." Naruto sighed, already realizing that he could no longer keep it a secret.

The idea of having multiple wives isn't so easy to enjoy. It's all Obito Uchiha. What was supposed to be a secret has now been brought into the open.

"You don't need to be so sad. Kakashi asked you what you're thinking."

"I don't have any ideas, let's just wait and see."

"Well, that's all we can do for now." Uzuki Yugao stood up, about to leave, but was stopped by Naruto.

"Hey, you're acting weird today?"

"Where?" she asked, turning around.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel like you—" Naruto looked Uzuki Yugao up and down, his brow furrowing slightly, "Hmm, have you made some changes?"

Uzuki Yugao stared at him for a while, then parted her lips slightly and said calmly from the living room.

"Is it so hard for you to accept even a small change in your widow?"

Damn it, she's sharp-tongued; she's still the same Uzuki Yugao. Naruto was startled and immediately raised his hands in surrender, indicating that he had never thought that way.

Not long after Uzuki Yugao left, there was another commotion on the balcony. Kurama (the Nine-Tails- Kito) was peeking furtively through the window. The moment it saw Naruto, its expression changed.

With a whoosh, the French windows opened, and the Nine-Tails Fox tiptoed in.

"You're back?" Naruto asked without turning his head.

"Ah, aren't you sleeping?" Nine-Tails a little guiltyly. He had drunk all the alcohol in the refrigerator and had also tricked Hinata out of a lot of alcohol.

"I've had enough sleep. There's something I need to tell you." Naruto sat up and looked at Nine-Tails with a slightly serious expression. "Kurama, someone's got their eyes on you."

"Who?" Nine-Tails didn't care.

"A guy with a somewhat complicated background, similar to Uchiha Madara." Naruto pondered that Black Zetsu's attributes should be similar to menstrual cycles, or perhaps lubricant.

As for the origin of the Tailed Beast, they ultimately come from Chakra, or more precisely, they are products that have gained sentience by absorbing the life energy of the Shinobi World.

"Uchiha Madara? The evil Uchiha!" Nine-Tails reacted as expected, its eyes blazing with fury.

"Calm down, what's the rush? Can you even beat them?" Naruto said coldly, kicking it directly. The latter became timid and even showed signs of becoming a lackey.

"So what if you can't beat him?" It wanted to say that it couldn't beat him because of his father, who had taken away half of his power. But even in his prime, he couldn't fight against Uchiha Madara.

"What should we do then?" Nine-Tails looked bewildered. Its increasingly obese body had completely lost its former domineering aura.

"I don't know, good luck to you." Naruto got up to leave.

"Wait a minute! You're just telling me this? Aren't you going to try to think of a solution?" Nine-Tails was getting anxious. "What if Uchiha Madara really comes?"

"What are you afraid of? You won't die. Just wait to be resurrected." Naruto had already put on his clothes and glanced back at it before leaving.

"You're not trying to beg for my help, are you?"

"How could that be? Hah," Nine-Tails felt a little guilty; it had indeed thought that for a moment just now.

The force of inertia is immense; it has grown accustomed to a comfortable life over the past few years. Even if trouble arises, Naruto will handle it anyway.

Now that this has been brought up suddenly, Nine-Tails is a little irritated. It's not exactly afraid—it won't die anyway—but it's worried about what might happen if something unexpected happens.

Its peaceful life is about to be disrupted, but the Nine-Tails is not tired of its current life. If it is sealed again or dies, it will face a long period of boredom.

When it wakes up again, will it still be able to live such a life? Its original intention to destroy Konohagakure has long been thrown into the bottle, and now it is only confused.

Feeling down, Nine-Tails skillfully climbed onto the small sofa, pulled out a bottle of wine from under the sofa, and gulped it down.

Meanwhile, Naruto had already gone downstairs and was wandering aimlessly along Konohagakure Street.

Night had fallen, and the Konohagakure Street were bustling with people. Naruto joined the crowd, soaking in the lively atmosphere. Suddenly, he felt a strange sense of loneliness.

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu's sudden attack caught him somewhat off guard. Although the situation was dealt with in time, it still caused some impact.

To put it more poetically, the gears of fate have moved forward one step.

While he maintained the three-way relationship with Hinata and Ino, he had already considered how the plot would unfold. However, none of his predictions came true; instead, Obito Uchiha suddenly appeared.

Reality is indeed illogical. Obito Uchiha probably didn't even handle the other Tailed Beast before heading straight for the Nine-Tails, aiming for a surprise attack?

After wandering around for a while, Naruto stopped. He had been lost in thought, and looking up blankly, he realized he had arrived near Konoha Hospital.

So he simply found a nearby stall and ate something, then carried a bag of food to Konoha Hospital. Ever since Tsunade and Shizune left, the Medical Unit had fallen to Sakura.

During his absence, Sakura was also extremely busy. He actually had opportunities to contact Sakura, but considering that the incident had only recently occurred, he felt somewhat awkward and decided to give up.

But who could have imagined that the Main Personality would wake up at that moment, and before they could react, they had already eaten rice.

Although it's the same body, the two personalities are giving different feedback, and the feelings before and after are quite different. It's so awkward; Naruto doesn't want to run into Pink Sakura either.

A few minutes later, Naruto smoothly entered the Medical Unit and easily found Sakura's office. Sakura Haruno, who used to work odd jobs at Konoha Hospital, has now become a leading medical authority.

He lingered at the door for a while, unsure who the Sakura inside was. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door anyway, knock knock knock.

Sakura looked up at the sound, and was slightly taken aback when she saw Naruto, but then stood up. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You've arrived?"

Okay, it's confirmed now, it's Black Sakura.

"Uh, I just got back and came to check on things," Naruto replied.

"Really? I heard about what happened last night." Black Sakura glanced at him, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and smiled radiantly.
