Tenten: I Never Dated Before Dying, Naruto: You Might Have to Draw Lots in Your Next Life

Konohagakure has already gone ahead from Naruto, so he won't let his wife and children participate in the battle. He guesses that his two fathers-in-law should be here, but he estimates that it will be their turn to make a move.

If Black Zetsu doesn't revive Kaguya, he'll defeat Uchiha Madara.

"Choji?" Naruto, with his sharp eyes, spotted Choji flashing by in the thick smoke of the battlefield and rushed forward to stop him. "Where did you go? Where's Shikamaru?"

Choji was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was Naruto.

"Cough cough, don't mention it, I don't know. After the explosion, Shikamaru said he would contact Konohagakure. So we went to find you guys, but we were scattered by the battlefield Impure World Reincarnation army."

Boom!...

A flash of lightning and a clap of thunder shook the sky. The Fourth Raikage, surrounded by lightning, leaped high into the air like a raging thunderbolt and then crashed down. Like a decapitating axe, he cleaved straight towards Uchiha Madara on the battlefield.

At the same time, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, arrived first using Dust Release.

However, all the attacks that landed on the area two meters away from Uchiha Madara began to dissolve silently, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without making a ripple.

This scene stunned everyone, Uchiha Madara slightly raised his eyes. He raised his hand and sensed the boundless, surging power within his body, and a faint smile finally appeared on his face.

Obito's Chakra disappeared? Who revived him?

That doesn't matter. This power that transcends the entire world, the power belonging to the Sage of Six Paths, is continuously surging out from within him, and this moment has finally arrived.

Looking down at the terrified faces on the battlefield, Uchiha Madara raised his hand.

"The day I awaken will be the day eternal peace arrives."

The three shadows: (terrified and fearful)

Everyone looked up and froze in place.

Suddenly, something astonished everyone, including Uchiha Madara: the Impure World Reincarnation army suddenly stopped in their tracks, and the force controlling them abruptly released its grip.

The Impure World Reincarnation failed across the board?

Hidden somewhere, Black Zetsu leaped up, his eyes scanning the battlefield. Sure enough, using White Zetsu's perspective, he spotted Naruto at the edge of the battlefield.

"Naruto Uzumaki, he can actually do that."

A chill ran down Black Zetsu's spine. He stared at Uchiha Madara, who was suspended in the sky, a cold glint in his eyes. He had to speed up, or he wouldn't make it in time.

Choji: "Naruto, what!!! What is that?!"

Naruto: I won't listen to advice.

The Death Reaper's Authority

Suddenly, Death Reaper figure of a grim reaper with a blue face and fangs appeared in the sky, looking down upon the world. Its cold eyes sent chills down one's spine, and it held a white dagger in its mouth, its disheveled hair making it look like a vengeful ghost.

The suffocating feeling of death suddenly descended, and a terrible thought arose in the minds of everyone on the battlefield. Death Reaper had noticed the survivors and was reclaiming his authority.

The sky and earth changed color, and all the Edo Tensei Army standing on the battlefield radiated light. Little by little, they began to dissipate, turning into clusters of light that flew into the sky.

"Forget about the Uchiha, it's all Sasuke." He casually remarked, then told Choji, "Go find Shikamaru, don't wander off, wait for Konohagakure's vanguard to arrive."

"And what about you?" Choji asked, slightly taken aback.

"Looking for Tenten? The battlefield is so chaotic, we definitely have to find her." Naruto waved his hand, and without saying more, he plunged into another direction of the battlefield.

Choji stood there, stunned. Most people would probably find this absurd at this point: even the Death Reaper has intervened, the world is practically ending. And Uchiha Madara —and you still have the nerve to look for people?

Even if we find Tenten, what good will it do Uchiha Madara, who is on par with the First Hokage, has been resurrected. If we don't deal with Uchiha Madara, we'll all still die anyway.

Choji, however, thought it made perfect sense; the end of the world and finding comrades weren't mutually exclusive. A team wouldn't abandon its members, and Naruto had always been that way.

Choji turned his head and glanced at the Death Reaper reflected in the sky, instantly getting goosebumps. He wondered what Choji would think if he knew the Death Reaper had just patted him on the shoulder.

"Tenten!"

When Naruto found Tenten, she had just finished Jonin five Impure World Reincarnation. She had several large open wounds, was covered in blood, and looked like a candle flickering in the wind.

Fortunately, Naruto snapped his fingers on the battlefield and reversed the Impure World Reincarnation, otherwise Tenten would probably be reporting to the Pure Land by now.

"Naruto?" Tenten was in a daze, barely managing to stay upright thanks to sheer willpower.

She was already slightly injured when she was blasted away by the blast wave, and then she was confronted head-on by a Jonin Impure World Reincarnation Jonin Edo Tensei. After a fierce battle, she was almost at her last gasp.

Tenten could clearly feel her life rapidly slipping away; she was covered in blood, her eyes dull and lifeless. She never imagined she would die in such a way, and it had to be Naruto.

Thinking about what happened a couple of days ago, she felt a pang of resentment, but then suddenly felt relieved. Why think so much when you're almost dead? It's time to let go.

"Tenten, wait a minute, I'll give it to you." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tenten was still alive.

It's good that he didn't die; it would be a bit troublesome to bring him back to life if he did.

"Naruto, I... I might... die." Tenten felt her eyelids were heavy, and her voice was trembling with tears. "Why do you have to see me even when I'm about to die?"

"Holy crap Naruto exclaimed in shock. He had intended to say she wouldn't die. But upon hearing this, he immediately became furious. What did she mean by "being seen by me"? He was filled with disgust.

Even though you're about to die, you still despise yourself? Damn, that's a bit heartbreaking.

While secretly helping Tenten stop the bleeding, he pretended to be sad and asked.

"Tenten, do you have any last wishes?"

Upon hearing this, Tenten burst into tears. Her mind was blank, and she didn't even think about how she had the strength to cry, when she clearly didn't even have the strength to open her eyes just moments before.

"I've never been in a relationship before, you guys are all married and have kids. Even Rock Lee, that blockhead, is still single. It's just me, sob sob sob."

"Sigh, you probably won't have time to date. It's fine if you don't date." Naruto said cheekily.

"Oh no!" Tenten became more and more agitated as she spoke, probably feeling that she was being provoked by Naruto before death. "I... I don't even know what kissing feels like!"

"And... and that kind of thing... I... I saw you with Anko and Naruto from the Anbu before, waaaah, you deserve to die, Naruto... Naruto!"

Naruto: "."

Damn it, a million grass mud horses galloped through his mind.

That Tenten is really something else. Knowing she was about to die, she immediately spilled her secret. Holy crap, this woman really needs a lesson!

"You have a few minutes left, so say what you need to say quickly, and I will pass it on."

Upon hearing this, Tenten burst into tears and said a lot of things. She talked about Guy, Rock Lee, and everyone else, and finally, while crying, she cursed Naruto again.

"Can you kiss me? Waaaaah, I have no choice now, waaaah, I don't want to die with regrets." Tenten cried her eyes out.

"Okay." Naruto had almost stopped the bleeding for her, but he was still holding back his resentment. Damn Tenten, half of her last words were cursing him.

He didn't mind that her face was covered in blood Tenten, and kissed her mercilessly, capturing her lips. His tongue tasted the blood, but he didn't care anymore, kissing her fiercely until she was almost suffocating.

"Are you... are you going to kill me? Waaaaah!!" Tenten gasped for breath, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "You only know how to bully me, you deserve to die! Naruto Uzumaki!"
