Konoha.
Hokage Building.
From Naruto, the Third Hokage saw something.
It was something he possessed.
Something all previous Hokage also possessed.
As long as there are leaves dancing, fire will burn.
The shadow of the fire will illuminate the Village, and new leaves will sprout.
When a Ninja wishes to protect those he cherishes most, his true power will manifest.
This is the true meaning of the Will of Fire.
And it is the ultimate path to peace in the Ninja World.
Hidden Sand Village.
Training ground.
Gaara had, at some unknown point, retracted all his sand back into his gourd.
He wasn't sitting on the sand, looking down at the screen.
Instead, his hands hung naturally at his sides, and he gazed up at the screen, head tilted back.
Like an innocent child.
'We are similar people.'
'The pain of being alone.'
'It's not ordinary pain, is it?'
'For some reason,'
'I can deeply understand your feelings.'
Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto.
This sense of recognition, truly… where sand and leaves intertwine, seeds can sprout.
Not far away, Kankuro looked over, astonished.
It was the first time he had seen Gaara like this.
The dangerous aura around him had softened considerably.
Temari's expression was dazed… On the screen.
Two types of people under the light.
Met in this battle.
Did light illuminate darkness, or did darkness stain light?
We don't need to delve into the meaning of existence.
But the fire of Konoha passed to Uzumaki Naruto.
Before the next battle arrives,
Let's play a small surprise as a curtain call.
"Naruto's Wedding: Gaara's Gift"
As soon as the subtitles appeared,
A massive wave of public opinion swept across the entire Ninja World.
"Eh, hey, hey!!!"
"Naruto's wedding?!!"
"Gaara's gift!!"
"Just when we were about to watch the next battle, they're giving us something sweet?"
"I wonder how grand the Seventh Hokage's wedding must be!"
"I'm actually quite looking forward to it!"
Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
Everyone was originally still immersed in profound questions like "the meaning of survival."
Suddenly, this new information appeared.
It instantly pulled everyone out of their thoughts.
Everyone began to liven up.
Naruto still regarded Sakura as his crush at this point.
He innocently said, "Eh, wedding!!? Is it mine and Sakura's?"
Sakura's embarrassment exploded; she furiously punched Naruto.
"How could that be!!!"
After speaking, Sakura quickly looked at Sasuke.
She hoped he wouldn't misunderstand such a thing.
Sasuke replied indifferently, "Hmph, boring!"
Ino: "A wedding!! Naruto is getting married even on the screen!!!"
Shikamaru: Naruto's wedding?
The main point doesn't seem to be there, does it? There's also Gaara's gift later.
It seems Gaara and Naruto became friends later?
Moreover, according to the habits of this screen,
It might not actually show Naruto's wedding scene.
It's very possible that Gaara is the protagonist of this clip~~
After considering, Shikamaru couldn't help but turn to look at the girl with the biggest reaction on site.
Hinata's face was so red from seeing this screen that she almost fainted… On the screen.
Konoha Street.
The figure of a young Gaara.
"What is marriage?"
"That's a very philosophical question…"
Hidden Sand Village.
Training ground.
Gaara looked at "his future self."
His usually cold face now showed a few involuntary twitches at the corners of his eyebrows.
It really was him!
His future self's demeanor had completely changed… [The other three accompanying Gaara also appeared one after another.]
[Young Lee, young Tenten, young Kankuro]
Konoha.
Training ground.
Lee saw his handsome self on the screen.
He once again flashed a "white and shiny teeth" smile.
"Guy-sensei, I'm still so spirited on the screen! I've always maintained my will!"
"You've grown up!! Lee!"
"Sensei!!!"
In short, there's absolutely no change, is there~
Tenten really wanted to complain.
However, her attention was quickly drawn to herself on the screen.
She herself hadn't changed much either.
She had grown much taller!
After admiring himself, Lee remembered the content on the screen.
"Guy-sensei, by the way, what does marriage mean?"
"Marriage!!?"
This instantly hit a blind spot in Guy's knowledge.
Two drops of cold sweat trickled down his brow.
Guy briefly felt his image as an all-around teacher was about to be shattered.
"Doesn't marriage represent love!!?"
Lee's drawing style suddenly changed, his entire body becoming elongated.
His cheeks were red, filled with shyness and longing.
Before, Lee had looked at the pink-haired girl on the screen.
It was as if she had instantly struck his heart.
This… could this be love!!
Especially Sakura holding a kunai and blocking in front.
It was… so cool!
Might Guy, feeling guilty, smiled and nodded in affirmation: "Lee, you're absolutely right!"
Lee was clearly very excited.
His view on marriage was actually correct!
"Then for Naruto's wedding, we definitely need to give a gift! What should we give?"
Guy actually began to ponder deeply.
He stroked his chin in thought.
"The most important thing about a wedding is the two people getting married…"
Tenten: "…"
How old is Naruto right now!?
And you're already thinking about wedding gifts?
This is truly unnecessary worry!
"Neji, what gift are you planning to give?"
In a flash, Tenten calmly asked Neji.
Her master and disciple were playing by themselves, so Tenten could only chat with Neji.
Neji's expression was somewhat surprised: "I…"
Hidden Sand Village.
Training ground.
Temari looked at Gaara's attire on the screen.
Her eyes widened.
This was typically the clothing worn by a Kage!
Gaara was a future Kage!
Though shocked by this, she still wanted to see her future self.
Usually, the three of them went on missions together.
Why wasn't she there this time?
Kankuro stared in shock at his uninhibited self on the screen.
He was actually that close to Gaara!
Was his future self that strong?
Thinking about it, that wasn't quite right.
Gaara must have become easier to get along with!
On the stone chair.
Gaara was sitting and chatting with the others.
"As Kazekage, how should I congratulate Naruto…"
"Although Kankuro said it should be grand,"
"But after listening to Naruto's sensei and the ramen shop owner,"
"It's probably fine as long as Naruto is happy."
The next moment,
Killer Bee, taking an unconventional route, sprang out from the bushes.
He performed a rap and dance that Tenten secretly evaluated as "terrible."
"…Four-sho barrel of Kumogakure-produced sake for the mirror-breaking ceremony."
"Ten barrels in total, yeah."
"Super high-grade Kumogakure-produced beef."
"An entire cow provided, a whole roasted ox feast, yeah."
"The game prize is a popular gaming console, generously providing ten units, yeah."
This rap caused headaches for countless people in the Ninja World.
Every sentence required a rap.
It was truly an assault on the ears!
Hidden Cloud Village.
On a high mountain.
Killer Bee watched his shining self on the screen, instantly feeling his soul float in the air.
Such a grand stage playing his rap and dance.
It was just like a super large concert!
However, it would be even better if he himself could perform a carefully prepared piece!
