Chapter 505: The Ninja World Cannot Be Without Hope

【The video froze!】

【The video didn't continue to play Haruno Sakura's final fate.】

【But almost everyone didn't believe she could survive...】

"Even if she survives, what's the point of living in a world without family, without a village, and without friends!"

In this world, Terumi Mei looked at the video and said in a low voice.

【At this moment, the screen in the video had gone completely dark!】

【And then, a passage of text appeared on the video!】

【This text was not the desperate font written in blood on a gray-white background like before!】

【This time, it was a pure white background, with hope-filled text written by leaves coming from afar!】

【The beauty of life lies in its fragility, fragile as a thread, slowly winding into a snow-white cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, there is life, and there is death; it all depends on how we choose.

Nothing truly valuable comes from personal ambition or purely from a sense of responsibility, but rather from love and dedication to humanity and objective things.

All other responsibilities in the world can be shared or transferred; only the responsibility for one's own life can be borne entirely by oneself, without relying on others in the slightest.】

"... What does that last sentence mean?"

The video remained fixed on this text for about ten minutes before the screen disappeared completely!

But the people watching the video remained facing it, unable to recover for a long time!

"I think I somewhat understand what the Sage of Six Paths wants to say!"

In this world, in Uzumaki Naruto's home, Nara Shikaku said in a low voice!

"What do you mean, Shikamaru?"

Inuzuka Kiba, Akimichi Choji, and others, whose brains weren't very sharp, looked at Nara Shikamaru with eager eyes!

"How troublesome... how should I put it..."

Nara Shikamaru scratched the back of his head, summarized his words, and then spoke slowly:

"The first sentence is about the choice of life!

We are currently at a fork in the road. If we choose correctly, we are the first video! If we choose incorrectly..."

Shikamaru didn't continue, but everyone present knew very well!

"Choose what? How do we choose?"

Rock Lee continued to ask with a confused look.

"Think about it—in the video, whose departure led to the situation developing to an irreversible point?"

At this moment, Yamanaka Ino reacted!

"You mean... Naruto?"

Rock Lee said uncertainly!

The biggest difference between the first video and the second video was the absence of Uzumaki Naruto!

At this moment, Rock Lee finally reacted too!

"So if we want to choose 'life', we need Naruto to stay, right?"

"No, it's naturally not that simple!"

Just as Rock Lee opened his mouth to try to persuade Naruto to stay, Hatake Kakashi spoke:

"The second sentence is left by the Sage of Six Paths for you, Naruto!"

Hatake Kakashi looked at Uzumaki Naruto and said!

At this moment, Minato, as Uzumaki Naruto's father, finally spoke:

"Naruto, the Sage of Six Paths hopes you will stay, but he doesn't want you to stay just because of responsibility or reluctance!

The reason you were able to accomplish so many impossible things in the first video is because you deeply loved the ninja world and Konoha in your heart, even to the point of sacrificing your life for them!

If you lose that, even if you stay, you won't be able to do what you did in the first video!"

"I..."

Naruto opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Don't be in a hurry. As long as we are here, this ninja world won't fall into chaos, so you have plenty of time to consider it slowly!"

Uchiha Obito smiled and patted Naruto on the shoulder!

"Thank you, Obito..."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded gratefully!

"Then what does his third sentence mean?"

Inuzuka Kiba asked curiously!

"You don't even understand that?"

Uchiha Obito said irritably:

"The Sage of Six Paths means for you all to do your own jobs well. If you don't have the ability to solve the problem, just be good cheerleaders and don't cause trouble!"

"......"

"......"

The implication of Uchiha Obito's words was quite obvious!

And the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but look at Hatake Kakashi and Tsunade!

"Ahem, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit strange, Nara Shikamaru coughed lightly and said:

"The Sage of Six Paths means that we each have our own responsibilities. We cannot throw all the responsibility onto Naruto just because he is strong! That is irresponsible to him and to ourselves!"

"Then what should we do next?"

Inuzuka Kiba asked curiously.

"I said it already—the choice isn't in our hands at all!"

Nara Shikamaru shook his head!

Inuzuka Kiba: "Then are we just going to do nothing?"

Shikamaru: "No, this matter has already risen to the level of the safety of the ninja world. Next, we need to convene a Five Kage Summit to decide the direction!"

Inuzuka Kiba: "Then let's go summon the other Kage quickly!"

Shikamaru: "No, I don't think that's necessary. If I'm not mistaken, they are already on their way to Konoha!"

Just as Nara Shikamaru had predicted, at this moment, all the major and minor forces in the ninja world were heading toward Konoha!

"Old man, didn't you say we should wait and see first?"

Not far from the entrance of Iwagakure, Onoki and his granddaughter Kurotsuchi were rushing at full speed!

On the way, Kurotsuchi asked curiously!

"... Originally, that was my plan!"

Onoki, who was floating in the air, was silent for a moment before answering.

"Then why..." ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
