Shocking! The Mysterious Sky Veil Brings Chaos! | Naruto

"Demon fox! The Nine-Tailed Fox—it's transforming!"

"I knew it! That thing isn't human—it's a monster!"

"What was the Third Hokage thinking, keeping that fox in Konoha?"

"Why didn't the fox just die?!"

"Look at it! It's exactly the same as it was back then. That cursed fox!"

"It's that fox's fault the Fourth Hokage is dead. It deserves to pay for what it's done!"

As the villagers of Konoha watch the video of Naruto in his enraged, chakra-leaking state, their faces twist with fear and hatred.

"I can't listen to this anymore!"

"Those Konoha villagers... I'll just say it—they're despicable!"

"Konoha calls itself a great nation, but they can't even protect a child? Fine, hand him over to us smaller nations. We'd take good care of him!"

"They pushed a kid this far? This is what they call a great nation? A so-called ideal village? Give me a break!"

"Why did the Land of Fire seal the Nine-Tails in a child in the first place?"

"Apparently, it was the Fourth Hokage's decision. Did no one stop to think about how the child would feel?"

The mocking comments scrolling across the video screen make the faces of Konoha villagers turn pale.

"He's not a hero—he's a demon fox! Even if he were a hero, I would never forgive him!"

"Because of that fox, my wife and unborn child died!"

"If not for the fox, the Fourth Hokage wouldn't have sacrificed himself!"

Naruto lowers his head as he listens to these hateful words. His expression is full of pain.

No matter what he does, it seems the villagers' hatred will never go away. Why? Why do they hate him so much? He's done nothing wrong.

"These villagers are disgusting." Shikamaru, usually unbothered, speaks coldly, clearly angered by what he's hearing.

Even someone as lazy as Shikamaru can't help but feel furious at how Naruto has been treated. For the first time, they truly understand his pain.

"They're horrible..." Hinata murmurs, her pale eyes filled with anger.

In the video:

Sasuke stares at Naruto, whose chakra is leaking out in rage. His face is full of shock.

"What are you?!"

"Your friend!" Naruto growls.

With a twisted expression, he shouts: "That's why I won't let you go to Orochimaru! Even if I have to break your legs, I'll stop you!"

Naruto clenches his right fist, and the air around it compresses violently, creating a shockwave that ripples across the lake. The force sends Sasuke flying.

Before Sasuke can react, Naruto punches him hard in the stomach.

Sasuke's eyes roll back momentarily, and Naruto follows up with a series of punches, sending him flying again.

Finally, Naruto clasps his hands together and slams them down on Sasuke's head, driving him into the lake with incredible force.

"Ahhh!!!" Naruto lets out a primal roar, his voice echoing through the air.

Sasuke bursts out of the water, but Naruto speeds toward him in an instant, landing another barrage of punches and kicks.

The final kick launches Sasuke into the air.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

Sasuke forms seals quickly, releasing a massive fireball from his mouth.

"Haahhh!"

Naruto blows out a breath, extinguishing the fireball with sheer force.

The fight continues in the water, with Naruto overpowering Sasuke and slamming him against a wall.

Grabbing Sasuke by the collar, Naruto yells: "Wake up already!"

"If you don't come to your senses, I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to move, and then I'll drag you back—Sasuke!"

"Is this guy really a genin?!"

"He just blew away a Fireball Jutsu like it was nothing!"

"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—he's not a regular ninja! This seems normal for someone like him."

"Look at Gaara; he can fully transform into his Tailed Beast. Naruto doesn't seem like that big a deal compared to that."

"This is what ninja fights look like? Incredible!"

The Konoha 12 watch the video in awe.

The "dead-last" they once knew now seems like a completely different person. His strength in this enraged state terrifies them.

In the video:

Sasuke, gasping for air, growls: "You're so annoying..."

"How could someone like you—someone without parents or siblings—understand me?!"

Naruto's anger falters for a moment at Sasuke's words, and Sasuke's emotions flare even more.

"You, who've always been alone from the start—what could you possibly know about my pain?!"

"It's because I once had those bonds that I know how much it hurts to lose them!"

"You can't even imagine that kind of pain!"

Sasuke lands a brutal kick, sending Naruto flying. The force knocks Sasuke into the lake as well.

"What's Sasuke even saying?" Shikamaru frowns, his voice tinged with frustration.

Naruto, watching the scene, feels uncomfortable. Sasuke's words hit harder than any punch.

Everyone knows Naruto is an orphan. Sasuke's words feel like they're rubbing salt in a wound.

But the video also shows glimpses of Sasuke's own tragic past.

Perhaps that's why Sasuke feels so much pain.

For someone like Naruto, who's never had family to lose, it might truly be impossible to understand.

In the video:

Naruto stands silently on a wooden pillar, staring at the rippling water below.

"I don't know what it's like to have a parent... or a brother," Naruto says quietly.

"But..."

The scene shifts to Ichiraku Ramen, where Iruka and Naruto share a meal.

"Today's on me. Eat as much as you want!" Iruka says warmly.

Hearing this, Iruka, watching from Konoha's Ninja Academy, stiffens, his eyes wide with shock.

"Alright! I'm digging in!"

"A ninja's first priority is a full belly, right?!"

"Hey, don't overdo it! You'll get stuffed." Iruka smiles, his gaze kind and gentle.

"When I'm with Iruka-sensei, I think... this is what it must feel like to have a father," Naruto says in the video, his voice filled with warmth.
