"But! If Princess Fuyun's guard hadn't rushed forward to block the hidden weapons, the Princess would have been killed!"
Naruko's loud voice echoed through the movie theater.
"Achoo!"
About a dozen meters away from the group.
Neji Hyuga, who was heading outside, suddenly sneezed.
"Neji?"
Rock Lee gave Neji a puzzled look.
"Did you catch a cold?"
Tenten, her hair in two buns, asked.
"No... I guess someone might be bad-mouthing me..."
Neji, who had also come to the theater to watch the movie, muttered as he left with the other two.
"No, she wouldn't."
Back with the group.
Izumi rejected Naruko's opinion.
"Princess Fuyun materializes chakra over the surface of her body, allowing her to deflect any projectile attack. Even if that guard hadn't rushed forward, the Princess would have been completely unharmed. Just like your Tailed Beast Cloak, Naruko."
"Um... um..."
That seemed to make a lot of sense.
Naruko was left speechless.
After all, she really did have a Tailed Beast Cloak.
Of course.
It was only a movie. With certain exaggerated techniques and elements, so-called logic could be ignored to a degree.
Naruko, who had never watched a movie before, probably didn't understand how they worked.
"But..."
Nohara Rin blinked and looked at her junior, who was almost taller than she was now.
"Izumi, what you said makes a lot of sense, but those ordinary people had to do something... They might not have Princess Fuyun's bloodline, but precisely because they were ordinary people, their struggles and sacrifices were all the more moving, weren't they?"
Nohara Rin had once been abducted by Kirigakure ninja.
Back then, she had been prepared to sacrifice herself.
Even though she was just an ordinary person.
With no special ancestry or bloodline advantages.
She still believed in sacrificing herself for Konoha.
