A Bold Move
On the black-framed screen, the world watches as Gaara burns with fury, his intense desire to tear Uzumaki Naruto apart palpable. Meanwhile, Naruto continues to provoke him, deliberately pushing buttons to make Gaara lose his cool.
Previously, the white-framed content offered audiences a glimpse of the ninja world's dynamics, and the spectacle unfolding now only confirms their suspicions. Gaara, a volatile and bloodthirsty individual, is not one to take such provocations lightly.
Naruto's actions, however, seem calculated. He deliberately antagonizes Gaara, knowing that the latter thrives on emotional outbursts. To top it off, Naruto dispatches Tōsu, a ninja from Otogakure, before anyone can react. His calculated move is further amplified by his observant nature, noting Orochimaru's indifference to Tōsu's death. Naruto is confident that Orochimaru has no regard for Tōsu and won't retaliate.
The next target of his plan is Hyūga Hinata. Naruto, who always seems to know how to navigate people, is certain he can convince Hinata to forfeit her fight. This maneuver ensures that his first match in the finals will be against none other than Gaara—a matchup he's been planning for.
A Calculated Risk
Gaara's growing resentment of Naruto is evident. The audience can't help but marvel at Naruto's cunning strategy. During the month-long preparation, it is almost certain Gaara will stew in his emotions, his fury bubbling beneath the surface. By the time the finals arrive, his suppressed rage will explode, possibly triggering the power of Shukaku, the One-Tail, within him.
Second Hokage Senju Tobirama observes the situation with intrigue. "If Gaara discovers he cannot defeat Naruto during the finals," he muses, "his frustration may drive him to release Shukaku's full power."
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen attempts to defend Konoha's handling of such situations, explaining their preoccupation with Orochimaru during that time. However, this reasoning does little to appease the likes of Tsunade or Tobirama, who are unimpressed by the excuses.
Tsunade quips, "If I return to Konoha as Hokage, will I end up being played like a fiddle by that sly Naruto?"
Uzumaki Kushina defends her son, laughing, "Tsunade, you're overthinking. Naruto may be cunning, but he's not a devil."
Naruto, watching the events of his alternate world unfold, reflects deeply on his counterpart's decisions. "This Naruto is not only clever but fearless," he mutters. "Sasuke barely holds Orochimaru's interest anymore, and my counterpart... he's leagues ahead."
An Evening with Hinata
The scene shifts to an evening walk between Naruto and Hinata. Hinata is visibly nervous, her hands fidgeting as she struggles to express her gratitude. "Naruto-kun… thank you… for helping me in my match against Neji," she stammers, her face flushed.
Naruto, ever perceptive, changes the subject to ease her embarrassment. "Hinata, what happened between you and Neji? You're from the same clan, yet his hatred for the main family is evident."
Hinata, her expression turning somber, recounts the tragic history of the Hyūga clan—the divide between the main and branch families, and the unjust sacrifice of Neji's father. Naruto listens intently, his fists clenching as her story unfolds.
"This is ridiculous!" Naruto exclaims. "Why should Konoha bow to Cloud Village's demands and let Hyūga Hiashi's twin brother take the fall? It's unfair, plain and simple!"
Even the Nine-Tails stirs within Naruto, acknowledging his anger but urging patience. "You can't change the world in a day," the fox mutters. "Focus on your goals for now."
A Queen in the Making
Naruto turns to Hinata with a serious expression. "Hinata, you've been through so much, but you've come out stronger. You just need to believe in yourself."
Hinata's eyes widen as Naruto continues. "You're not just a kind and talented person. You're the eldest daughter of the prestigious Hyūga clan. With confidence, you could shine like a queen—not just within your clan but throughout the entire ninja world."
The sincerity in Naruto's words leaves Hinata breathless. Her admiration for him deepens as his encouragement ignites a spark of confidence within her. "I'll do my best, Naruto-kun," she says earnestly.
Naruto smiles warmly. "That's the spirit. Remember, you're already incredible. The light you have can inspire not just your clan but everyone around you."
Hinata, overwhelmed by his kindness and belief in her, resolves to embrace his advice. She vows to work toward a brighter future for herself and her clan.
Reactions Across the Ninja World
The viewers are captivated by Naruto's words. His ability to inspire and uplift Hinata earns him admiration from many, especially the women watching.
Terumi Mei comments, "This boy has a way with words. If I were younger, I'd be smitten too."
Yamanaka Ino sighs, "Hinata's so lucky. Naruto's encouragement would make anyone fall for him."
Meanwhile, Tsunade and Orochimaru exchange sarcastic remarks, their bickering lightening the mood. Even Hyūga Hiashi feels a glimmer of hope, wondering if this alternate Naruto might truly bring about positive change for the Hyūga clan.
Naruto's Philosophy
In the privacy of his thoughts, Naruto reflects on the injustices of the world. "There's too much inequality in this world," he thinks. "But instead of complaining, I'll use it as fuel to grow stronger."
His determination shines through as he resolves to challenge the status quo and create a better future for everyone, starting with his friends and allies.
As the chapter concludes, the audience is left in awe of Naruto's growth and his ability to bring out the best in others. His journey is not just about becoming stronger but about inspiring those around him to rise above their circumstances.
