Inside the Shinigami's belly, four figures materialized.
Eight eyes. Two hands. Half a fox.
They immediately locked eyes!
Putting aside the Yin Nine-Tails, whose soul was trembling in fear, wasn't that damn Senju Hashirama who once slapped me so hard I scraped the ground?
How the hell was he here too?
The Third and Fourth Hokage looked at the First and Second Hokage with excited faces, but at that moment, the Second Hokage smacked them down.
"Monkey, what the hell are you so excited about? Didn't you seal us in here?"
…Amidst a wave of depression, the four Hokage were already making a racket inside the Shinigami's belly…

[Uchiha Madara: Putting aside that idiotic Senju, if my brother weren't beside me right now, I'd even suspect the kid in the video was his reincarnation.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Tsk, as expected of a descendant of my Uchiha Clan. There's even one who looks exactly like I did when I was little!]
Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto stared nervously at the screen.
At this point, it would be bad if either Naruto or Sasuke killed the other.

Video footage:
A "Killer Matt" versus a "Dog Daycare" battle…
The two faced each other across the shore.
Sasuke once again charged up his Chidori, while Naruto formed a Rasengan with one hand!
Only this time, Sasuke's Chidori crackled with black lightning, and Naruto's Rasengan was layered with red Chakra.
The two leaped across the gap!
"Chidori!"
"Rasengan!"
The clash of the two techniques split the air itself.
Alternating red and blue streams collided, merging into a giant purple sphere that swallowed them both.
At that moment, Sasuke's free hand struck Naruto's chest.
Naruto's clawed hand only managed to graze Sasuke's headband…
The purple sphere swelled violently, darkening into black.
The waterfall smashed against it, but the black sphere refused to break—repelling the water instead.
Then, as if reaching its limit, cracks spread from the center.
In an instant, white light flashed. Their eyes met.
Just like the very first time they shook hands.
Did it end here?
Sasuke stood, staring at the fallen Naruto.
Naruto's headband fell with him.
"Naruto!"
"I…"
At that moment, the sky broke into heavy rain.
The cumulonimbus clouds formed earlier by Sasuke's Fire Release and the later explosion of the black sphere had finally burst.
Even the heavens seemed to ache for the two.
Sasuke suddenly convulsed violently. The side effects of the Cursed Seal were too much. Though his body was slowly adapting to it, this was his first time using such a state.
The pain made him collapse to his knees in front of Naruto.
Their faces were only two centimeters apart—close enough to touch foreheads!
In the end, Sasuke still couldn't kill him…

[Uchiha Mikoto: Phew~ You scared me to death. Thank goodness Sasuke didn't go through with it. If he had killed Naruto, wouldn't Kushina be after me with a knife?]
[Uzumaki Kushina: …As long as you know. It's just that these kids from our two families are strange. They're clearly good friends.]
[Uchiha Sasuke: Can't good friends try to kill each other?]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Sasuke! How are you talking to your Aunt Kushina?]
[Uchiha Sasuke: …]
[Ōnoki: I thought all Konoha brats were like this—good friends fighting to the death!]
[Fourth Raikage: Hmph! The charm of men~]
[Senju Tsunade: Sasuke… Are you sure you want to go? Won't you hesitate a little more? Your Mom is here too. Won't you ask your mother for her opinion?]
[Uchiha Sasuke: You ask your mom for her opinion! Where are your manners?]
[Senju Tsunade: ??? I meant you should ask your mother for her opinion…]
[Uchiha Sasuke: …Oh. The way you speak is easily misunderstood!]
[Ding! Starting to release the question!]
[Ding! Question One! Please tell me, how many times did Naruto in the video fall into the water?]
[Ding! Correct answer reward: Naruto-style Chakra Outfit Trial Card × 1. Incorrect answer punishment: Unknown!]
[Ding! This question is time-sensitive. Chat content containing numbers will be counted as an answer! Please chat carefully!]
______________________________________________________________________________________
Everyone was stunned.
???
???
???
You asked me to carefully watch the entire video, and this is the question? How many times Naruto fell into the water???
Holy crap, can you be any more shameless? Who the hell would remember that?!
[Ōnoki: I'm old. This kind of question, I can't answer…]
[Fourth Raikage: Cough cough, I just had something to do, so I wasn't paying attention! It's definitely not because I don't pay attention to battle details!]
[Uchiha Madara: Wasn't it twice?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Mm, I remember it was twice too.]
[Ōnoki: As expected of the big shots. So brave!]
[Senju Tsunade: Truly brave!]
[Mei Terumī: Impressive, impressive! Brave Uchiha! Not afraid of difficulties!]
[Uchiha Madara: ??? Brother, they don't seem very smart.]
[Uchiha Izuna: …I feel like the ones who aren't smart are us two…]
[Ding! Currently judging Uchiha Madara's answer. Naruto's number of times falling into the water is: Twice]
[Ding! Uchiha Madara's answer is incorrect! Punishment: He must cosplay as a maid, take a selfie, and send it to the chat group!]
[Ding! Currently judging Uchiha Izuna's answer. Naruto's number of times falling into the water is: Twice]
[Ding! Uchiha Izuna's answer is incorrect! Punishment: He must cosplay as a maid, take a selfie with a hair clip, and send it to the chat group!]
[Uchiha Madara: ??? Incorrect??? I know what a maid is, but what the hell does 'cosplay' mean?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Heh heh… I knew it. We were too hasty. We're the fools…]
The entire Ninja World burst into laughter.
This Uchiha brother duo—were they smart or just stupid?
Ōnoki laughed so hard his teeth almost fell out. Luckily, his earlier voice message hadn't been heard in the Pure Land.
But Madara and Izuna's selfies… would soon be known across the entire Ninja World!
[Ding! System Popular Science: Cosplay means role-playing~]
[Ding! Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, please put on your maid outfits within three minutes and upload a front-facing photo to the group chat!]
[Uchiha Madara: What the hell! You want me to wear this? A maid outfit?! I'll curse you, you Sage's board! Come out here, old man! Today, either this old man dies, or you perish!]
[Uchiha Izuna: …Heh heh, it's over for us…]
Madara raged furiously while Izuna looked at the maid outfit in his hand, wanting to cry but no tears would come.
Both of them knew—the System's power could not be defied.
But God damn it… wasn't a maid outfit going too far?!
[Fourth Raikage: Cough cough, I just have to say it—a maid outfit is indeed a bit excessive…]
[Uchiha Madara: !!! Well said, Fourth Raikage! If I ever get the chance, I'll spare your life!]
[Fourth Raikage: ??? (Dumbfounded) Spare my life…]
[Ding! Chakra Outfit Trial Card corresponds to Maid Outfit Trial Card! They're both one-time use fashion items! Is there a problem?]
