By the time Naruto sprinted back from several hundred meters away, the wedding ceremony was nearly complete.
It was now time for everyone's favorite part—the banquet.
Taking a glance at his cheerful mother and Karin, Naruto puffed out his cheeks and muttered to himself, "Hmph, no way am I sitting with Mom."
"...I'll go sit with Itachi instead!"
With that, he made his way toward Itachi's table, spotted an empty seat, and plopped himself down without hesitation.

Shikayu patted Obito on the shoulder and said,
"Enough about me. let's talk about you instead."
"You've been engaged for four or five years now, and yet there hasn't been any progress."
A moment of silence passed.
Shikayu glanced around, then lowered his voice.
"Is it still because of… that incident back then?"
Obito shook his head lightly.
"It's not just that. There are… other reasons too."
As the two spoke in hushed tones, Rin came running...

Obito's words struck like a bolt of lightning.
They exploded in Madara's mind.
Madara froze in place, a mixture of shock and doubt clouding his expression.
"Altered? How is that even possible?!" he demanded, his voice edged with disbelief.
Obito shrugged casually and replied,
"It's not entirely impossible. Think about it—nearly a thousand years have passed since the Sage of Six Paths left that stone tablet behind."
"If I could bypass the Sage's restrictio...

If only this world had no wars.
If everyone could bask in peace, dancing and laughing together in harmony.
What a beautiful world that would be...
Madara was lost in his thoughts when a voice interrupted him.
"Grandpa Madara, it's getting late. Let's go."
Madara replied calmly, "Hmm, very well."
Obito glanced at Madara, who was still dancing gracefully in the center of the dance floor, looking as though he was a soaring crane.
He was speechless.

Sarutobi Asuma's expression turned grim as he stared at Uchiha Mirai.
"Uchiha… Mirai."
He had thought that after becoming the Guardian Ninja of the Daimyo in the Land of Fire, he would never cross paths with Mirai again. Yet here they were, facing each other under such circumstances.
"Asuma, do you know this guy?" the Daimyo asked, his voice trembling with hope as if grasping at a lifeline. "Hurry! Make him release me! I'll agree to any demand he has!"
Asuma's tone w...

As the Daimyo seethed with rage, Mirai finally decided to visit the Daimyo's mansion.
Seeing Mirai arrive leisurely, the Daimyo bellowed, "Uchiha Mirai, you're three days late!"
Upon arriving in the capital, not only had Mirai openly broken the law and killed someone, but he had also failed to present himself before the Daimyo promptly. Instead, he had been spending his days indulging in food, drink, and leisure with two women, leaving the Daimyo waiting for three whole days.

Time passed quietly.
By the next morning, the first light of dawn stretched across the wide expanse of the lake. Emerging from Akira's Kamui dimension, Akira, Fugaku, and Shisui materialized on the lake's surface.
Moments earlier, they had sensed the Three-Tails nearing the final stages of its revival. They arrived just as it was about to awaken fully.

"My control has been..." Orochimaru's expression shifted from shock to grim disbelief.
The moment Senju Tobirama fell under genjutsu, Orochimaru lost command of his Edo Tensei body.
'Her dōjutsu... So this is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan? Incredible!' Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with an almost fanatical light.
"Orochimaru, your improved Edo Tensei doesn't seem very stable. Just now, it looked like Senju Tobirama was about to break free from your control," Uch...

Thud!
A sharp, crisp collision echoed in the air.
Red and white streaks mingled, and the wide, glaring eyes paired with slightly parted lips reflected the final emotions of their owner's life.
In just a fleeting instant—
The Fourth Raikage, A, had fallen!
On the rooftop, his headless, broad-shouldered body froze for a moment before teetering. With a heavy crash, it tumbled from the heights and slammed onto the ground.
"Raikage-sama! No!"

"I'm dead... Can Kumogakure still..."
A's bronze-toned, muscular body was covered in a sheen of sweat. His eyes were tightly shut, teeth clenched, and his fists so tightly balled that his nails threatened to pierce his palms.
From the rooftop, Tobirama observed the Raikage's inner struggle with an expression devoid of sympathy or pity—only cold severity.
Why did the Raikage have to die?
A solid Kage-level force like him, along with Kumogakure itself, could have been ...

"This marks the end of one of the hidden masterminds in the shinobi world. At least things should get a little less troublesome from now on," Tobirama remarked with a faint sigh.
His choice of words—"a little less troublesome"—was deliberate. He didn't claim that all disputes would cease entirely. Black Zetsu and Obito might no longer stir trouble from the shadows, but Tobirama himself would have to take action openly.
The shinobi world had always been divided among feudal lor...

Black Zetsu sneered, watching Madara endlessly unleash ninjutsu and sealing techniques against him.
Like mud, his body constantly reformed, while every sealing technique and jutsu was quickly nullified. Black Zetsu's initial panic had long since transformed into unshakable confidence.
Madara's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't stop. His hands weaved seals rapidly, summoning flames of terrifying heat that engulfed Bl...

A luxurious carriage rolled steadily into the capital city of the Land of Fire.

Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Uchiha Mirai's demand.
She wouldn't be allowed to leave the village until she paid back her debt?
Tsunade was well aware of how much she owed outside the village. By a conservative estimate, it was over a billion ryo. Where could she possibly get that kind of money?
Angrily, she snapped, "Who told you to pay off my debts without asking me?"
Uchiha Mirai raised an eyebrow. "Isn't paying off debts a basic pri...

After dinner, the three of them tidied up.
Sakumo headed to the kitchen to do the dishes, while Obito and Kakashi sat together, discussing an important life event: Kakashi's wedding.
Obito, looking unusually serious, asked,
"So, how many pairs of groomsmen and bridesmaids are you planning to have at the wedding?"
Kakashi thought for a moment before replying,

Inside the records room.
Orochimaru stared at the towering stack of books on the desk, his head pounding.
He had given up searching for Uchiha Tajima and instead focused his efforts on locating Uchiha Izuna's burial site.
But even so...
"Finding the remains of someone who died seventy or eighty years ago? Impossible!"

"Seriously…?"
Hearing that Obito wanted to meet with him alone again, Orochimaru felt his knees go weak.
Dealing with all three brothers together was already a nightmare—how was anyone supposed to handle this?
Obito, noticing Orochimaru's hesitation, let a dangerous glint flash through his eyes.
"Orochimaru, didn't you hear me? Get out here now!"
With a bitter smile, Orochimaru forced himself to follow Obito out of the meeting room.
"Yes, Obito-sama."

The moment Obito performed the Edo Tensei, memories began flashing through his mind.
When they first met, they were just five or six years old—awkward kids seated together thanks to Kisuke-sensei's matchmaking.
Nagano was shy, quiet, and terrible at expressing himself back then.
No one could've predicted he'd eventually become that guy—the one everyone wanted to punch.
(Not that I, Obito, had anything to do with that. Definitely not.)

Still Kimimaro.

At that moment, Kisame's battle had come to an end. The Sanbi had been reduced to the size of a small pot, trembling in fear as Samehada clenched it tightly in its jaws.
