Silence—
At this moment, everyone quieted down, silently waiting for Black-Framed Naruto's response.
Everyone held their breath in anticipation.
[Buzz—]
[Naruto's whole body jolted, and he suddenly looked up.]
[There was nothing unusual.]
['This feeling... it seems like I've felt it a long time ago.']
[Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly.]
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Again?!
Black-Framed Naruto... could he really be about to notice the existence of the Comparison Screen?!
["Naruto," Izumi called out softly.]
[At the same time, within the Sealing Space, the Great Fox also called out Naruto's name.]
[Naruto snapped back to his senses.]
[After a moment of silence, a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.]
[He pulled his conflicted Wife Izumi into his arms.]
["The world of genjutsu is indeed very beautiful."]
["But I don't think it's that simple."]
["There is a price to pay."]
["Tsukuyomi... one second in reality is a long time in there... and if everyone enters the Infinite Tsukuyomi, it means that on this land... humanity will disappear entirely in a very short time."]
["But for many in the Ninja World, a world of genjutsu... is indeed something they long for but cannot obtain."]
["It's just... I can't let the Great Fox disappear."]
["Similarly, it's unfair to the other Jinchuriki."]
["The Ten-Tails, huh?"]
["If the complete Tailed Beasts aren't required, perhaps it could be revived... that kind of power could do many things."]
["..."]
[Naruto said a lot, and Izumi listened quietly.]
["Everything has two sides... if this sickly Ninja World were beautiful, perhaps no one would miss this Infinite Tsukuyomi that is too perfect and feels unreal."]
["Thinking about it, as one of the victims of chronic warfare, it's normal for Uchiha Madara to long for the realization of this Infinite Tsukuyomi."]
["In short... if I have the ability, and once I know whether this so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is real and what the cost is."]
["I will give everyone a chance."]
["Considering the worst-case scenario—where being caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi means certain death—would anyone be willing to spend their life trapped in it?"]
["Of course, before that, I will reshape this Ninja World."]
["And... stop Uchiha Madara."]
["Let everyone see the Ninja World after I've reshaped it."]
["If at that time, many people still choose the Infinite Tsukuyomi... then it means I am an absolute failure."]
[Izumi tilted her snow-white neck; at this moment, Naruto was shining in her eyes.]
[It seemed that after deciphering the contents of the Stone Tablet, Naruto had become more confident... making her even more unable to help herself.]
[*Mwah*—]
[No words were needed, only following the body's instincts.]
[An absolutely beautiful world of genjutsu?]
[No, I don't need it!]
[Uchiha Izumi slowly closed her eyes.]
Everyone: "..."
Originally, they were still shocked by Black-Framed Naruto's thoughts.
But in the next second, they were force-fed dog food.
Damn it!
No puppy love allowed!
We haven't even been in love yet!!
Pure Land World.
Uchiha Madara was dazed for a moment.
Black-Framed Naruto's voice kept echoing in his mind.
After a long time, he gave a cold laugh.
But then he shook his head helplessly.
This answer was not what he expected.
He originally thought Black-Framed Naruto would have one of two reactions.
One, extreme approval.
The other, extreme disdain, even cursing him for being foolish.
He didn't expect... it would fall right in the middle.
Even... Uchiha Madara's brow furrowed.
Ultimately, he still shook his head.
He was the great Uchiha Madara; who could possibly plot against him?
It was just that Black-Framed Naruto had been plotted against too much and subconsciously thought the worst of everything.
Persecution Mania.
On the other side.
Inside the underground base at Kannabi Bridge.
Uchiha Obito also frowned deeply.
Plotted against?
He thought of himself, then of Uchiha Madara.
Then, he subconsciously looked back.
Huh?!
Where was Black Zetsu?
Where was White Zetsu?
Where did they all go?
Meanwhile, within the Genesis Space.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's delicate face remained cold.
She naturally guessed that this came from the avatar of her will, Yin Release · Black Zetsu.
Of course, hearing the name Otsutsuki Hagoromo again.
A cold light flashed in Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's pure white eyes.
The black-framed large screen continued:
[It made sense now.]
[Many things made sense now.]
[Of course, along with it came even more doubts.]
[Naruto felt that if he could figure everything out, he could expose that invisible hand he had always felt.]
[But it was clearly not that easy to obtain at the moment.]
[Perhaps... after mastering the Edo Tensei jutsu, he could get the cells of the past Hokage... and reincarnate them all. Not only would he have tireless free labor, but he could also learn everything.]
[As for Uchiha Madara... a centipede dies but never falls.]
[For a Ninja at that level.]
[Edo Tensei could be broken in the blink of an eye.]
[At that point, it would be easy to end up "going for wool and coming home shorn."]
["Great Fox, is there no room for compromise?"]
["Hmph~"]
["If you can undo the Inner Four Symbols Seal, This Fox will hide nothing from you regardless of what you ask."]
[The Great Fox said decisively, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.]
[Of course, Naruto couldn't guess what This Fox was thinking this time.]
[Actually...]
['Hmph, anyway, This Fox doesn't know much. If I know, I'll answer; if I don't, it's useless even if you ask.']
[Thinking this, the Great Fox felt it was only natural.]
[Seeing this, Naruto stopped pressuring the Great Fox.]
[After all, if he wanted to, the Great Fox would eventually spill everything obediently.]
[It was just because Naruto realized a problem.]
[He learned many secrets today... but if his strength couldn't keep up, knowing more was meaningless.]
[Perhaps, once his strength reached that level, he would naturally know.]
[For example, after mastering Edo Tensei.]
['For now, I should resolve the matter of the seal.']
['Double Four Symbols Seal... Minato Namikaze actually had quite a talent for Sealing Jutsu.']
['It's a bit tricky... a single one is simple, but to undo the Inner Four Symbols Seal, one cannot bypass the Outer Four Symbols Seal.']
['And it's incomplete... no, a stable Inner Four Symbols Seal with an opening.']
[Naruto had a bit of a headache; this Four Symbols Seal felt like something that needed to be shattered and reforged.]
[It was like drawing a wavy line without thinking, and then working backward to turn it into a puzzle; one can imagine how difficult it would be for the one trying to solve it.]
[Otherwise, the Great Fox, who watched it every day, wouldn't say he understood nothing.]
[In fact, Naruto felt that the Great Fox... didn't know the first thing about it.]
[Of course, Naruto couldn't say this out loud, or else wouldn't that tsundere fox's fur stand on end?]
[*Mwah*—]
[After a long time, Wife Izumi blushed and lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, her ears red with embarrassment.]
["Let's go home."]
