Chapter 657

~4 min read 776 words

That's right, Haruno Sakura is exactly that kind of woman.

In his past life, as a shut-in otaku, Xu Feng had crushed on Tsunade, Hinata, Mei Terumi, and even Temari, who didn't have much screen time.

But Sakura alone...

Forget crushing; the moment he saw her, he inexplicably lost all passion.

Even Xu Feng didn't know why.

Busy with the final post-production, Xu Feng finally got the trailer ready one week after filming wrapped.

Though, rather than a trailer, it was more of an official opening MV. The opening theme was none other than that legendary song with the highest sing-along rate across the entire Naruto series—"Blue Bird"!

The side story, the Kakashi Past Arc, had already been released previously.

But back then, because the cast hadn't been finalized, it was just a semi-finished MV consisting of shots of Savannah, the singer, interspersed with footage of the 12 Konoha Genin from the youth arc. This time, however, the complete version had finally arrived!

Eight o'clock in the evening, Bilibili video site.

In the official livestream room with the highest follower count on the entire site.

The moment the video was uploaded, countless 2D fans flooded in.

Among them were many new "two-dimensional" fans who hadn't even finished their site entrance exam yet.

【It's finally here, let's watch the trailer to satisfy the craving first.】

【It's not long, only a minute and a half.】

【Are you kidding me? If the foreigners next door see this, they'll think I'm looking down on them!】

【Give us another minute, one minute per person!】

Seeing the terrifying number of concurrent viewers, many competing peers secretly shook their heads and gave a bitter smile.

It was exactly as those industry bigwigs had analyzed before.

As long as Xu Feng's works maintained their usual standard, this website could never lose money. "Between spreading wings and flying high, one can reach the destination of dreams; remember to keep moving forward, belonging to me, belonging to me, the azure sky!" The playback officially began.

Savannah's singing voice suddenly rang out.

Like the "Blue Bird" in the song title, it spread its wings and glided across the playback page.

Naruto, dressed in a brand-new orange and black outfit, and Sasuke, wearing white and facing away from the screen, were the first to occupy the left and right sides of the screen.

Immediately following were the kunai in Naruto's hand, the Kusanagi sword in Sasuke's hand, Naruto's tear-filled eyes, and Sasuke's cold Sharingan, flashing across the screen one by one.

Clearly, the two of them, now grown up, had already met!

Just then, the rhythm of the background music grew increasingly high-pitched, the Blue Bird flew past once more, and brought with it the brand-new title logo—"Naruto: Shippuden"!

"The taste of a masterpiece's sorrow, never having truly understood or savored the bitterness of the past, nor ceasing to explore whether this moment will allow me to abandon the cage I have long since had enough of..." Savannah's voice rang out once again.

The grown-up Konoha rookies appeared one after another.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio: Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji.

The reconnaissance trio: Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino.

The taijutsu trio: Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten.

Naturally, there were also old faces like Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, and Asuma.

Each pair or group occupied only two or three seconds of time before immediately switching to the next.

This made the fans in the livestream room curse Xu Feng for being so fast; they hadn't even seen them clearly.

However, the main event arrived!

"Knowing that one day, I will fall into ruin, even so, my heart still pursues the light that belongs to me!!!" Savannah's singing reached its climax.

And the teaser MV was the same.

A grown-up Gaara engaged in a fierce battle with a mysterious long-haired man riding a white giant bird, soaring through the sky.

Sakura swung her pink fist, attacking a vicious-looking monster of a man wearing a mask, who crawled on the ground like a scorpion.

Shikamaru and Asuma teamed up to confront a man with a look of ecstasy, wielding a scythe.

Jiraiya spat out a burst of flames, colliding with the sky full of paper flowers unleashed by the cold and glamorous beauty played by Gao Yuanyuan.

And there was also Sasuke, whom countless Naruto fans had been eagerly anticipating, swinging his blade at Uchiha Itachi!

These budget-exploding battles flashed by in an instant, finally returning to Naruto.

The protagonist picked up the Blue Bird feather that had fallen onto the surface of the lake and glanced toward the distance. The large title characters appeared once again—"Naruto: Shippuden"!
