Looking at the united Iwa Ninja below, Naruto raised the corners of his mouth.
Will of Stone?
Konoha also has Will of Fire.
Wherever Konoha flies, fire is endless.
Kakkō will illuminate the village forever and allow new shoots to sprout.
This is a will with the warmth of life and the weight of inheritance.
It does not originate from an immortal stone, but flows from the bonds between people.
In Konoha, will is transmitted in another form: that is "burning".
When a Ninja dies, his relatives, disciples, friends, those who have been warmed by the fire of his life, will silently pick up his unfinished ideals and beliefs, carefully protect the embers, and rekindle them in their own way.
These little sparks may be weak, but they continue to accumulate, intertwine, and grow stronger in the process of transmission.
In the end, the perseverance and sacrifice of countless people, the burning and handover of countless lives, merged into the "Will of Fire" that illuminated the Konoha night sky and dispelled the long cold winter.
It is about the tenderness of inheritance and the determination of sacrifice.
Just like when autumn comes, the old leaves will willingly wither and fall, decomposing themselves into nutrients and quietly seeping into the earth, just so that the new branches and leaves can grow stronger in the next spring.
In the original work.
Perhaps it was not until the last moment of his life that Hiruzen Sarutobi truly touched the bitterest and most profound core of Will of Fire.
During his long years in power, the big tree Konoha was quietly eroded due to his excessive tolerance and compromise with the "fetters" of the past.
The conspiracies, unnecessary internal strife and sacrifices that grew in the shadows, like silent insect pests, caused the power of Konoha to be lost for a time, and the branches and leaves were no longer as lush and vigorous as they were when First was.
The old leaves have been absorbing nutrients on the tree, but the new leaves have fallen and turned into nutrients that nourish them.
Third's "fire" was once blazing because of his sincerity to the village, but it also became hesitant, gentle, and even dim at certain moments because of his feelings for his old friends.
Until the end, he used his own life as firewood to burn in front of the invaders, explaining in the most direct way what it means to "light up the village" and "let new leaves sprout".
Is that considered a solution to the problem or something else?
This kind of thing has never happened in the current time and space, and Naruto is not easy to evaluate.
"It's... so exciting!"
A voice with obvious admiration and excitement came from the top of Eight-Armed Asura's head.
I saw that Naruto had reached the very edge of Eight-Armed Asura's head at some point.
He looked down, looking at the Iwagakure ninjas who had rekindled their fighting spirit from despair and whose eyes had become as firm as Rock's. He looked at Ōnoki, whose tears were still wet but full of momentum. Golden's eyes were filled with an unprecedented, pure and fierce fighting spirit!
It is a kind of appreciation of "will" itself, a resonance of "unyielding", and the excitement of meeting an opponent and meeting a good talent!
"It seems... just looking down like a 'god' is a blasphemy against this 'Will of Stone'." Naruto whispered to himself, with a wild and uninhibited smile on his lips.
The next moment, he made a move that stunned everyone.
He suddenly jumped from Eight-Armed Asura's head!
Without using any Ninjutsu buffer, it just fell straight to the ground like Meteorite!
In the rapidly falling wind, his voice sounded clearly:
"Eight Gates Formation open!"
"Gate of Healing open!"
"Gate of Life open!"
Every low cry was accompanied by an even more violent Chakra explosion in his body.
"Gate of View, open!"
Violent steam intertwined with green and Golden rose around him!
In the process of falling, he quickly pulled off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, and then skillfully tied the two sleeves of his shirt into a knot around his waist, turning the clothes into a simple "war skirt."
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise and smoke and dust rose into the sky.
Naruto stepped firmly on the ground with both feet. Where he landed, Rock the ground cracked radially, forming a pit with a diameter of more than ten meters.
His muscular upper body was bare, his muscle lines undulating under the steam and Chakra light, and the temporarily modified "war skirt" was tied around his waist.
Golden The violent Chakra arrogance intertwined with green was burning around him like a real Flames, burning and twisting the surrounding air.
He slowly raised his head, with a wild and pure smile on his face. His eyes were like the sharpest blade, scanning all the regrouped Iwagakure Ninja in front of him with firm eyes, and finally fixed on Ōnoki in the air.
Then, he stretched out a hand, pointed forward, and crossed his fingers at all Iwagakure's enemies.
The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable, almost arrogant confidence and invitation to fight:
"You..."
"Let's go together!"
Uchiha Hikari in the sky controlled Susanoo, and was preparing to cooperate with Eight-Armed Asura of Naruto in the next wave of attacks, but saw Naruto's sudden "self-degradation" and jumped down to invite Eight Gates to fight.
A moment of speechlessness came to my mind.
She controlled Susanoo, slowly descended into Iwagakure, released the costly full body form, and returned to the appearance of a girl wearing white Golden Cloak.
She looked at the guy not far away who was wrapped in golden and green steam and was "provoking" the entire Iwagakure. She couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead, and her cold voice contained a rare hint of complaint:
"This guy... is on top?"
You don't need to use the good, crushing Eight-Armed Asura, but you have to jump down and use Taijutsu?
Is this some weird combat aesthetic?
On the opposite side, Ōnoki, who had just regained his fighting spirit and was full of momentum, saw Ming giving up his advantage, which was equivalent to an arrogant move that tied his own hands. He was stunned at first, and then laughed in anger!
"Hmph! You actually gave up the advantage of the giant god and chose to fight in close combat?"
Ōnoki's voice was filled with the anger of being slighted, and also with the dignity of meeting an opponent.
"You guy... you are so arrogant!"
But then, fighting spirit ignited in his eyes! Since the other party dared to be so "arrogant", then Iwagakure would use the most direct and fierce collision to respond to this "arrogance" and prove that "Will of Stone" was no empty talk!
"Iwagakure Zongren!"
Ōnoki's right hand, which held the stone high, swung forward suddenly!
"Follow me!"
Iwagakure's people are killing Naruto.
Countless attacks came overwhelmingly.
"Earth Terrain Shift."
Naruto stamped his foot, and the stone wall erupted, blocking the oncoming attack. Even the ground around Naruto sank, cutting off Iwa Ninja's power.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
A Kunai was thrown, and with the Hand Seals of Naruto, a Kunai turned into a salvo of thousands of arrows.
The Iwa Ninjas resisted frantically, and Naruto suddenly rose up, using Flying Thunder God Technique to knock down dozens of people in an instant.
"It's Flying Thunder God!"
