Chapter 81: The Red vs. Blue PK Match Ends! The Winner—[Name]
["Winners—ten in total."]
Madara Uchiha stared at the wall of bullet comments, unsurprised.
From the very beginning, he did not believe that the thing was just meant to show them some irrelevant "information".
"Please, Sasuke Uchiha, from the Fourth Shinobi World War, come forward to receive your reward."
"!!!!!!!!!"
On the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War—
Almost all eyes in the room were focused on Uchiha Sasuke.
Minato Namikaze: "Just as I expected!"
"What?! Dad?!"
Naruto wasn't good at thinking about these kinds of questions, so he quickly asked his father, the Fourth Hokage, what clues he had discovered.
Minato smiled at Naruto, "Looks like all Sasuke-kun have made the same choice~"
"The same choice...?" Naruto still didn't quite understand.
Tobirama Senju couldn't stand it anymore, or perhaps it was because he had developed a professional habit from explaining things to his clumsy older brother back then.
"You're just like your older brother in this regard, you have absolutely no talent for using your brain."
Under the resentful gaze cast by Hashirama, he said, "There are nine mirror walls in total, and with our world, there are ten timelines in total."
The Second Hokage, looking at the comical little divine tree on the comment wall, continued, "In another world, the blue team won, so Sasuke chose the ten timelines that 'disagree'..."
"—All of them were judged as 'winners'."
"Oh! I see!!"
Naruto slammed his fist into his palm, looking as if he understood.
But after being tormented by his brother for decades, Tobirama knew that his brother had either not understood or had not taken in at least 70-80% of what he was explaining.
He really didn't listen. Naruto was so happy that Sasuke had him as a friend that he didn't realize how unlucky Sasuke was.
"And Sasuke made the same choice in all timelines!" Naruto was overjoyed and wanted to bump Sasuke with his shoulder, but Sasuke dodged him with a cold face.
However, Naruto wasn't discouraged. With a forced smile, he complained, "I told you everyone around me is dishonest! Kurama and Sasuke, you two are the most dishonest! But you're also the most important people to me!"
Kurama, enraged and humiliated within Naruto's inner world, clenched its fists and berated Naruto for his growing disrespect. If it weren't for its orange fur, its fox face would probably be bright red.
Sasuke wore a cold expression, but he was extremely unhappy inside!
They're talking about anonymous voting...
He made the same choice in all ten timelines! What's with the anonymity?!
And you even have to claim the prize! What's the point of an anonymous award?!
"Please, Sasuke Uchiha, from the Fourth Shinobi World War, come forward to receive your reward."
The barrage of comments urged again.
Sasuke wasn't interested in such unknown and vague things. More importantly, it was because of the content of the comments. Even though many people knew him and liked him, it couldn't compare to the comments that used extremely offensive language to insult and slander Itachi...
No one else knew whether the so-called "going forward to receive the award" was some kind of conspiracy, so no one in the ninja world urged Sasuke to do so.
Even Naruto only tried to yell at the barrage of comments, asking what the reward was and why it couldn't be explained beforehand.
But all it got in return was another urging from the "Divine Tree Barrage Wall"—
Sasuke was already fed up with this prank, which resembled Naruto's mischief. Ignoring the others' advice, he leaped several times and landed at the foot of the Divine Tree's barrage of bullets.
Just as he reached the green circle at the foot of the bullet screen wall, the chibi-style little divine tree in the bullet screen wall spat out a treasure chest commonly seen in RPG games.
The treasure chest was like Pandora's box; inside was a red Rinnegan that looked like a fruit...
The prize for this Red vs. Blue PK competition is—
"I can grant you any wish."
"Anything."
"But only one at a time."
……
Grant Sasuke Uchiha one wish?!
Even though there's only one, are there no restrictions at all?!
Almost immediately! The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, advised Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing beneath the Divine Tree's barrage of attacks, "Make a wish upon it to stop Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha's plot!"
This idea immediately resonated with the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"Yeah! That thing could easily suppress even the Ten-Tails! Maybe it really can stop Obito and Madara!"
"Please, Sasuke Uchiha! Please end this war!"
"Make a wish on that thing to stop Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha!"
"Yes! As long as we make this wish, the great war will end immediately!!"
At first, Tobirama Senju only offered suggestions, but his eagerness to end the war turned into a request or even a demand from the Allied Shinobi Forces.
His words even implied that if such a good opportunity was not used to end the war, then Sasuke Uchiha would be a sinner of the war, just like Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha.
It sounds shameless, but isn't that just human nature?
With those comments serving as a cautionary tale, Naruto was somewhat influenced as well, and he didn't want to force Sasuke to make a choice, either himself or through others.
However, given the public opinion, he couldn't order everyone not to interfere with Sasuke's wishes.
Impatience, anger, and resentment were brewing in my chest...
Madara Uchiha looked down on this rabble; in his eyes, the Allied Shinobi Forces were nothing more than grains of sand.
However, he had to be wary of that unknown power and regarded Tobirama Senju, who gave advice to Sasuke Uchiha, as despicable.
Seeing that Obito Uchiha still made no move, the reanimated Madara Uchiha had no choice but to personally intervene!
Hashirama, who was standing nearby, anticipated Madara's intentions and immediately used Wood Release to block him.
"Ban, calm down! That child might not actually try to stop you!"
"You think I'd fall for your tricks again?! Hashirama!!!"
Fire Release and Wood Release techniques danced nearby, their attacks possessing devastating power, nearly impacting the Allied Shinobi Forces around them!
At the crucial moment, Naruto once again shared the Tailed Beast Cloak with them!!
Feeling the surging chakra emanating from Kurama within him, Naruto also experienced his own inner thoughts...
In reality, Naruto wasn't as indifferent as he appeared when he saw so many insulting comments on the screen.
Especially those comments that think he disregarded Sasuke's hatred and forcibly kept Sasuke by his side with his own dreams, beliefs, and bonds...
This made Naruto reflect time and again on whether what he was doing was really the right thing to do.
"once……"
Naruto's voice flowed into the hearts of the Allied Shinobi Forces through Kurama's chakra.
"I once thought about killing everyone and destroying Konoha to pieces."
It wasn't just the voice! Naruto's memories seemed to reappear before their eyes as well!
There were even Konoha ninjas who saw their own faces in Naruto's memories! That was many years ago, and because Naruto was the "Nine-Tails Kid," the prejudice these adults held against him was as heavy as a mountain!
He's not allowed to come near! My kids aren't allowed to talk to him! Even a glance from 'that guy' makes me feel like I'll have terrible luck for the next week!!
Naruto: "I hate Konoha, I hate everyone in Konoha. Although I live here, I don't feel a sense of belonging. No one acknowledges my existence."
