Shikamaru and the others showed an atmosphere of disbelief at first, but as Sasuke’s story continued, they began to think more seriously and together than anyone else. And Shikamaru, who had noticed something strange while watching Naruto, opened his mouth.
“Sasuke. I understand your story. But that’s it. I’m concerned about one thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“What the Six Pathsians want is probably not to understand each other by being connected through chakra.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Listen. You are you and Naruto is Naruto.”
“…”
Sasuke looked at Shikamaru as if he was saying something obvious.
“Yeah, it’s a matter of course. But there’s something strange about that ‘power’ you’re using.”
“Is it strange?”
“If you share each other’s feelings, memories, actions, or everything, it’s no longer two people. You are one person”
“!!!”
When Sasuke heard Shikamaru’s words, he felt as if he had hit his head with a hammer. It was strange when I thought about it. The Six Masters clearly tried to get rid of fights and conflicts through this power. But it didn’t. The stronger this power is, the more you have the same feelings, the same actions, and the same thoughts, the harder it is to call it someone else.
A world where everyone does the same. There will certainly be no conflicts or fights, but can that really be called a peaceful world? Connecting the chakras… it is not simply connecting the minds, but the power to unite the souls. Naruto and I are different. We like each other, but we don’t want to be each other. I admired and liked a different look from myself.
“I… ”
It was stupid. It was a child who couldn’t see anything because he was drunk with power. What is a ninja hero? What does it mean to be Hokage… More than anything… Deserving to have Naruto by your side…
“Sasuke!”
“!!!”
Just when Sasuke was frustrated and about to despair, Sakura got up from her seat and approached as if she had made up her mind. And just hit him on the cheek. Not only Sasuke, but also Sai and Shikamaru, who were watching, widened their eyes unexpectedly.
“Wake!”
“S-Sakura?”
“Sasuke, I like you. Ever since… ”
“!!!”
Sasuke couldn’t say anything as if his head couldn’t keep up with a series of sudden events. However, since I had been aware of Sakura’s feelings from before, I was able to come to my senses right away.
“Sakura, sorry… ”
“You don’t have to answer. Because I already know”
“…!”
“I’ve been watching you all along. How hard you struggled, how hard you worked… I saw it closer than anyone else.”
“…”
“That’s why I hate Naruto. It would be a lie to say that I’m not jealous, but I’ve seen everyone suffer because of Naruto next to you.”
Sakura recalled the image of Sasuke overdoing it because of Naruto. He just ran looking at her. He didn’t even look at himself next to him. The resentment and anger turned toward Naruto. Of course, I am aware that it was a foolish act, so I regret it only now.
“You have always watched Naruto. I ran relentlessly without giving up. I know that better than anyone.”
Sakura started to shed tears without realizing it. However, as if denying that he was crying, he roughly wiped away his tears and continued talking.
“The Sasuke I like, the Sasuke I know, doesn’t give up! Not giving up is the way of your ninja!”
“…”
“Naruto is paying for his sins by admitting his mistakes and regretting them. But you’re not going to do anything just because of that? Damn you, don’t be funny!!”
Sasuke’s eyes changed at Sakura’s cry. Clearly, Sasuke made a mistake. However, if she stays still like this, she will not be forgiven by herself, Sakura who liked her, Dolyo, and most of all, Naruto.
Sasuke quietly closed his eyes and recalled the words Naruto had shouted to him one by one in the image world. That wasn’t what Naruto said, but what Toneri did, but it’s a fact that can’t even be excused. So I have to go apologize.
I apologize until you forgive me
We will work together to make sure we don’t make this mistake again.
“Thank you, Sakura and sorry.”
“If you know, wake up properly, damn it”
Sakura once again wiped away her tears and spat out a small curse.
“I like Naruto. But I didn’t deserve to like her yet. So… ”
Having made up his mind, Sasuke stood up and clenched his fists while looking at the moon.
“I will go to you to become a man suitable for you, Naruto”
Shikamaru gave a small smile to Sakura, who was quietly clearing her mind.
“Are you okay?”
“it’s okay. It’s just belatedly admitting something I knew but didn’t want to admit.”
“But you… ”
“Because girls cannot survive unless they are tough!
Realizing that Sakura had already made up his mind, Shikamaru said nothing more and looked at the moon. And he made a promise to himself secretly. In order to ensure that there will never be a failure like the last time, I once again thought and rethought the strategy for tomorrow.
Epilogue – Episode 20
[to you again]
“Now, it’s time for the ceremony.”
“no!”
For several days, Hinata cared for Naruto more than herself even when her eyes were taken away. However, after hearing Toneri’s purpose, she couldn’t understand him, and most of all, she objected to getting married against Naruto’s will.
“I owe you a favor, so I don’t want to hurt you. So, one last warning. get out of the way”
“I can’t hand over Naruto!”
“Whoa… ”
Toneri sighed in annoyance and signaled to the puppets with a wink. Then the puppets pounced on Hinata and roughly threw them away from Naruto.
“No…I…Naruto!”
“…”
Despite Hinata’s desperate cry, Naruto just stared into the air and approached him as Toneri intended. Hinata resists fiercely, but more puppets grab her.
“Naruto! Wake! This is not what you want!”
“…”
“Why did you learn to knit from me? You haven’t handed it over yet! I was just being honest… !”
“It’s no use. Naruto right now… Anit?!”
Toneri suddenly noticed that tears were falling from Naruto’s doll-like face.
“It must be a hindrance.”
Hinata’s resistance was stronger than expected, so Toneri sighed and snapped her fingers once. Then Hinata’s vision sank into darkness again.
“After the ceremony, I’ll cast another spell. Stay calm in the meantime. But if you want to interfere with the continuation, then there will be no forgiveness.”
“Ugh! Wait… wait!”
“Keep an eye on that guy.”
“all right”
The puppets take Hinata into the room, and the remaining puppets take Naruto to the wedding ceremony. Toneri also moved to prepare, but for some reason, Hinata’s words flashed through her mind.
‘No, don’t worry about it’
Toneri forcibly forgot Hinata’s words while counting Hamura’s breath again.
Shikamaru and the others rode a bird made of Sai’s super water level and flew towards the artificial sun. However, numerous puppets appeared and started attacking them.
“Ask for cover!”
“No brain, Spiral Bazra!!”
At Shikamaru’s cry, Sasuke’s magic technique shot down the breathless puppets in an instant. In the meantime, Shikamaru passed by Sasuke’s technique and went under the puppet, who was badly injured, and activated the technique.
“Shadow mimicry!”
Shikamaru manipulated the puppet and opened the door to the artificial sun. Shikamaru gave a signal and everyone went into the sun, where there was a huge castle in the center.
“Let’s attack the center!”
“okay”
As it flew toward the center, not only the flying puppets attacked, but also an attack to shoot down from under the castle. Sasuke evaded the attack by one piece of paper, and opened his eyes to the Yoon Hoi An and the Sharingan.
“Sasuke, can you tell me where Hinata and Naruto are?”
“It’s rough, but… Hinata is on top of that tower!”
“Sakura, Sai! Hinata please”
“”Okay!””
After safely descending to the castle, the group divided into two teams and moved to rescue Hinata and Naruto. As Sasuke and Shikamaru were running towards Naruto, the puppets came out and kept interfering.
“Move!!”
Sasuke defeated the puppets in an instant and moved forward. As Shikamaru followed Sasuke, he smiled, thinking that such a desperate and ninja-like Sasuke was the first time he had seen it since the war.
‘If you are now, I will make Naruto come back to you…in two ways’
Then, when he saw Toneri and Naruto about to hold a wedding ceremony, Sasuke shouted.
“Naruto!!”
“Haa.. is it yours again? But your fists will never reach me.”
As a huge puppet stood in Sasuke’s way, Toneri took Naruto and went deeper. Shikamaru shouts at Sasuke as he watches the puppets constantly pouring out.
“Leave this to me!”
“Please, Shikamaru!”
Shikamaru used shadow mimicry to stop the puppet’s movements, and in the meantime, Sasuke entered the room where Toneri entered. Shikamaru approves that Sasuke has entered and opens his mouth in front of the entrance.
“It’s annoying, but you’re off limits from here… And it’s the start of the puppet show!”
“Naruto!!”
Sasuke, who managed to catch up with Toneri and Naruto, immediately realized that Naruto’s condition was strange. It was because Toneri’s chakra was controlling Naruto in Naruto’s body.
“Give me back Naruto!”
“Okay, give it back”
With one gesture from Toneri, Naruto rushed at Sasuke and started swinging his fists. Sasuke panicked and dodged Naruto’s attack, but he began to be pushed back by the increasingly fierce attack.
“Naruto realized that you were using him too. I won’t go to you anymore”
“Do not be ridiculous! I know you don’t know that you’re controlling Naruto!”
“I just made my wife honest”
Toneri smiled and snapped her fingers, and Naruto went into golden, fox mode. When he attacked Sasuke with speed and power that was different from just before, Sasuke barely defended himself with Susano’o and endured.
‘Damn it… At this rate, there’s no time to get rid of Toneri’s chakra!’
Naruto’s chakra and Sasuke’s chakra naturally connected because he couldn’t attack and was only defending. Every time he blocked an attack, Naruto’s memories flowed to Sasuke. Then Sasuke realized that Naruto had made a scarf for him. The scarf that Naruto threw away when Toneri first tried to kidnap Naruto.
“Naruto…you… ”
And soon, he also found out that Naruto was hiding something. Naruto was scared. That your feelings are being honest. I mean the feeling of jealousy. Then Sasuke noticed that Naruto was crying. In an unexpected situation, Naruto’s attack broke Susano’o and hit Sasuke directly.
“Cheuk!?”
Sasuke pierced through the wall and flew outside. And Naruto followed Sasuke to the end and clenched his fist.
‘Naruto… ‘
Sasuke paused as he watched Naruto approaching. Toneri smiled as he watched Sasuke and Naruto fight.
“Die in despair at the hands of the woman you love.”
At that time, Toneri felt the last movement of her eyes and sat down as if in pain. And that movement further strengthened the chakra controlling Naruto.
“Ugh… now… now… finally… I can finish everything…!”
Toneri couldn’t help but laugh in the midst of the unbearable pain.
“Hinata is up here!”
“for a moment!”

Meanwhile, when Sai and Sakura go up to Hinata’s tower, they notice that a group of puppets with childish iron heads are waiting for them. The dolls, whose cute looks turned into goosebumps in an instant, attacked Sai and Sakura. As the two of them made their way while destroying the dolls that were attacking, I noticed that Anjok was in a commotion.
“between!”
“I know, super high level!”
When Sai draws a tiger and runs to the noisy place, he sees Hinata, who is fighting the puppet even though she is blind. Even in a battle that could never be won, Hinata broke the puppet as if she would not give up even though she was seriously injured.
“I… go to Ruto…!”
Epilogue – Episode 21
[How to convey sincerity]
The castle of Toneri, which had been silent for a long time, was in a commotion. But among them, not far from Toneri’s castle, there was a quiet and brutal sound of someone being beaten. The source of the sound was Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto climbed on top of the fallen Sasuke and moved his fist several times. Again and again… blood splattered and flesh ripped. Even if Naruto was being manipulated, the fist in Golden Fox mode was absolutely not negligible. Sasuke didn’t avoid or block the fist, which would not be strange even if it was a normal ninja, but rather was hit as it was.
“I…don’t…Naruto… ”

“I said I would protect you…”
