[Swish, swish, swish—]
[Everyone stood up.]
[They looked at Naruto with faces full of disbelief.]
[So... Naruto had already started taking action long ago... and had even done so much!]
[Shikamaru fell silent for a moment and said, "So, how do we need to cooperate with you now?"]
["It's simple: categorize everyone."]
["I mean—everyone."]
[Naruto said while looking into Shikamaru's eyes.]
[Everyone?]
[Shikamaru was stunned for a moment.]
[He probably guessed Naruto's meaning.]
["Alright, I understand. I'll tell my old man."]
["What exactly is it?" Kiba asked somewhat anxiously.]
["We just need to do our part well," Neji said.]
["Our part?" Choji was puzzled.]
["Improving our strength," Shino said.]
["Humph! When my darling takes action, it will definitely succeed. Overthrow that damn Third Hokage!" Ino immediately became excited.]
["And!"]
["And... make those people who bullied Naruto-kun... pay the price!"]
[Hinata shouted with a blushing face.]
[Everyone's gaze immediately converged on her.]
[They hadn't realized this girl could also be so petty and hold such a grudge.]
["That's right. Just because they didn't know and were used as pawns, they should be forgiven? How can there be such a good deal in the world?" Tenten also agreed with Hinata's words.]
["Yes!"]
["I still remember those people!"]
[Sakura raised her fist and spoke fiercely.]
[Looking at everyone, a warm current flowed through Naruto's heart.]
[However, there was no need to be too impatient.]
[Tsunade hadn't arrived yet.]
[In addition, things at the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools hadn't truly ended yet.]
[And...]
[Naruto hadn't fully grasped the information on the other Four Great Shinobi Villages, the numerous Villages in the Ninja World with significant strength... and the various nobles and dignitaries.]
[If he was going to do it, it would absolutely not be in such a procrastinating manner, taking them on one by one.]
[Going one by one was too slow and would drag on for a long time; the longer it took, the more variables there would be.]
[What Naruto intended to do was massive.]
[Once everything was ready.]
[Starting from Konoha, he would overthrow the ruling class with lightning speed and stabilize the situation.]
[Then, with the Land of Fire as the center, he would 'bloom' outward in all directions.]
[In other words.]
[The moment he moved.]
[It would represent... the Fourth Shinobi World War!]
[Involving the entire Ninja World!]
[Wherever a Ninja Village or Ninja existed, the flames of war would surely spread.]
[Integrate everything and reshape the entire Ninja World!]
[According to Naruto's initial thoughts, he should have spoken out at this time.]
[But plans couldn't keep up with changes.]
[Uzumaki Kushina and Minato Namikaze had appeared.]
[That made things even easier.]
[Once the matters at the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools were over, the effect would be even better if they represented Naruto.]
[Resurrecting a former Hokage, a former Uzumaki, a former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...]
[Bringing even one of them back to life would be enough to move many people.]
Senju Tobirama: "Plan before acting. Black-framed Naruto-kun has not disappointed. He hasn't forgotten many things just because of his own powerful strength."
Mei Terumī: "He's truly a little man who makes one's heart itch~"
Kurotsuchi: "Enough, you're still separated by a screen."
Kurotsuchi: "Besides, what we should be thinking about now is... how to handle his moves, right?"
Kurotsuchi: "The opponent is that kid, Black-Framed Naruto!"
Fourth Raikage: "What to do? We're cooked!"
Fourth Raikage: "That Black-Framed Naruto kid is very troublesome... and he also possesses a large number of Forbidden Jutsu left by the Second Hokage..."
Fourth Raikage: "That guy will only grow more courageous as he fights. When the time comes, truly no one will be able to stop him!"
Ōnoki: "Don't speak so absolutely. Without the suppression of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, Konoha later appointed a 'Shinobi Bear'... After so many years, our foundations aren't bad either."
Ōnoki: "It won't be that easy to swallow us all in one breath."
Orochimaru: "What about an Edo Tensei army composed entirely of elite Jonin, sustaining war through war?"
Orochimaru: "Don't forget, soon the 'me' of that world will meet Black-framed Naruto-kun."
Orochimaru: "I know quite a lot... if I encounter Black-framed Naruto-kun... cluck cluck cluck~ I can't say how long I'd last. Anyway, the Uchiha aren't attractive at all anymore~"
Everyone's breathing hitched.
When Orochimaru said this, everyone remembered.
Besides the possible appearance of an Edo Tensei army... there was also the New Shinobi Sect army, which was comparable to death squads.
And once other Jinchuriki appeared... they would immediately defect.
It would be fine if Naruto sealed them in an instant.
But if they were controlled by Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyo Sharingan... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Only at this moment did everyone realize.
Senju Hashirama was not as simple-minded as he appeared.
In a large-scale war, the appearance of Jinchuriki as war weapons—that is, Tailed Beasts—was no joke.
Not to mention Konoha still had the strongest Tailed Beast.
If they couldn't hold out and released their Tailed Beasts... Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki... which one wasn't a natural enemy of Tailed Beasts?
It wasn't that the 'cannons' couldn't reach the other side.
It was that once the 'cannons' were released, they would immediately turn toward their own side.
Many people thought of this.
In an instant, their scalps went numb.
"Is it possible... that First Hokage - Hashirama Senju's schemes were even deeper?"
"Uchiha Madara was too impatient... if he really wanted to sweep across everything, casualties would be unavoidable."
"If he had waited a bit longer... let the Uzumaki Clan help everyone seal the Tailed Beasts into Jinchuriki first... once Konoha was ready... and everyone had let down their guard... then, detonate the 'bomb'!"
"The Uzumaki Clan could definitely undo the Jinchuriki seals from a distance..."
"Oh my god!"
"It's practically winning without fighting... how is this giving out benefits? How is this a love for peace?!"
"I heard that back then, the First Hokage - Hashirama Senju, who already had the title of god of shinobi, was even humble and submissive..."
The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became!
Senju Hashirama: "..."
Senju Hashirama: Hahaha~
Senju Hashirama: Am I as smart as everyone says?
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Is that for real?!
Suddenly, Uchiha Madara wasn't sure if he really understood his close friend Hashirama.
The black-framed large screen images continued:
[After calming everyone's restless hearts—food is the most important thing in the world: dinner time!]
[During this time, Naruto also revealed some information.]
[Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao, who were still very happy, were directly stunned.]
[Ah?]
[The Fourth Hokage and Sister Kushina... were resurrected?]
[Gulp— x2]
[The two women unconsciously swallowed their saliva.]
[We're finished!]
[This... this... if this is exposed... the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero!]
[Won't she skin us alive?]
[Daring to 'eat young grass'... Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao silently looked at each other.]
[Then they looked at Anko, who was gorging herself carelessly.]
[Wait!]
[Suddenly, both of their eyes lit up.]
[Then they looked at each other again.]
[Oho~!]
[You're thinking the same thing?]
["Come, come, come, Anko, eat more~"]
["Come, let's have a toast~"]
["By the way, Anko, Yūgao plans to go out and continue gathering intelligence; she'll definitely be able to help Naruto later."]
["I also have to take those three little ones... sigh~"]
["Anko, with both of us away, we can only rely on you. You absolutely mustn't let Naruto-kun feel lonely..."]
[Anko's eyes lit up. There's such a good thing?!]
[She immediately patted her impressive chest, "Leave it to me!"]
