In the video, the palm of the arm the masked man was clutching suddenly began to melt, with large amounts of white liquid dripping from it.
Then, with a soft plop, it fell to the ground.
The shinobi watching the video all wore horrified expressions.
Just what kind of monster was this masked man, Tobi?
Not only did he possess that seemingly invincible technique that allowed him to switch between tangible and intangible states, but his mastery of Space-Time Ninjutsu was also no inferior to that of the Fourth Hokage.
And now, it seemed that his body itself was different from that of an ordinary person.
There were simply too many secrets surrounding this Tobi.
The video continued playing.
The masked man looked at Minato Namikaze and murmured,
“You turned the tables on me. As expected of the Fourth Hokage. Is this what they call appearing and disappearing like a ghost? I really can’t afford to let my guard down for even a moment—”
Before he could finish speaking,
Minato Namikaze’s figure suddenly teleported directly in front of him.
He slammed his palm against the masked man’s chest!
At the same time, the kunai in his right hand instantly stabbed into the masked man’s abdomen!
The masked man cried out in pain and was startled.
“The Flying Thunder God Technique? I see now. You marked me!”
Immediately afterward, Minato’s left hand moved, carving a formula onto the masked man’s body.
The masked man asked in disbelief,
“A Contract Seal? You’re planning to separate me from the Nine-Tails?”
Minato Namikaze said,
“That way, the Nine-Tails will no longer belong to you.”
The scene suddenly changed.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, which had been rampaging through the village, suddenly threw its head back and roared.
Its eyes, which had taken on the shape of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, returned to their golden, vertical pupils!
The scene shifted back to the open ground outside the village.
The masked man leaped backward once again, putting distance between himself and Minato Namikaze.
He calmly said,
“As expected of the Fourth Hokage. I didn’t expect you to injure my arm and separate me from the Nine-Tails.”
“But the Nine-Tails will belong to me sooner or later.”
As he spoke, spatial distortion surged from the hole in his mask, twisting his entire body into a spiral as though he were preparing to escape.
The masked man’s voice also became ethereal because of it.
“I am the one who will unify the world.”
“I have plenty of methods at my disposal.”
As his voice fell, the masked man completely disappeared.
The video ended there.
Within the alternate dimension, almost every shinobi throughout the entire Shinobi World let out a long breath, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
There was no denying it—the video had been absolutely incredible!
Then the Fourth Hokage appeared and teleported the Nine-Tails’ Tailed Beast Bomb away, perfectly saving the village.
After that, the masked man revealed his nearly invincible technique of switching between tangible and intangible states, making everyone believe that the Fourth Hokage was certain to lose.
Yet immediately afterward, the Fourth Hokage used his incredible battle intelligence and superb ninjutsu to achieve a desperate counterattack!
He even severely injured the masked man and broke his control over the Nine-Tails!
The entire video perfectly demonstrated how the Fourth Hokage suppressed Tobi, the seventh biggest show-off, and successfully ascended to the position of sixth biggest show-off!
Might Guy was fired up.
“That was an unparalleled battle! I completely accept the Fourth Hokage ranking sixth!”
Killer B also said,
“Although I don’t want to admit it, that Minato Namikaze kid really is stronger than me! He absolutely deserves the title of sixth biggest show-off!”
Deidara, the eighth biggest show-off himself, also shared his thoughts.
“Come to think of it, even after obtaining a Kekkei Genkai like Lava Release, I still wouldn’t want to run into an opponent like Konoha’s Fourth Hokage! Don’t you agree, Tobi?”
Hearing this, the gaze beneath Obito’s wooden spiral mask was gloomy, but even he had to admit that Minato had indeed defeated him back then.
However, Obito didn’t care too much.
His goal was to gather all the Tailed Beasts, become the Ten-Tails’ jinchuriki, and create a world where Rin existed.
Whether his plan was exposed or his abilities became known to everyone, he remained completely confident!
Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the various villages immediately had their assistants record the valuable information revealed in the video.
Namely, they could exploit the fact that Tobi became tangible at the instant he launched an attack and use that moment to counterattack him!
With this information, they finally had a little more confidence in dealing with the Akatsuki.
They were also more confident in protecting their respective village’s jinchuriki and preventing the Tailed Beasts from being taken away!
The voice of the Lord of the Myriad Worlds rang out.
“Everyone, next, the top five of the Ten Biggest Show-Offs will be revealed!”
“Before each one is announced, if anyone can correctly guess the candidate, they will receive an unprecedentedly generous reward!”
“Moreover, if you don’t want the reward, you can exchange it for the opportunity to ask me one question. No matter what the question is, I can answer it!”
As soon as these words were spoken,
Sakura, Hinata, Temari, and the other female shinobi suddenly had their eyes light up.
They weren’t particularly interested in powerful abilities or anything like that.
Since the Lord of the Myriad Worlds could foresee the future, if they were lucky enough to correctly guess one of the biggest show-offs, why not give up the reward and instead ask the Lord of the Myriad Worlds what kind of husband they would have in the future?
Sakura, in particular, really wanted to know whether she would be together with Sasuke in the future.
Hinata, meanwhile, stared at Naruto-kun, who was being loud and carefree in the distance, equally eager to find out whether her future husband would be the Naruto she had always secretly loved.
Just as the shinobi throughout the entire Shinobi World were preparing themselves to guess the fifth biggest show-off,
…
…
Blue Star.
Su Han suddenly opened his eyes and sat upright from the computer desk.
“I actually fell asleep while making the videos…”
He muttered a couple of words and rubbed his bleary eyes.
In order to complete the orders from the owner of the Myriad Worlds Video Website, his major client who had directly prepaid fifty million dollars,
Su Han had stayed up late for three consecutive days and had already finished editing three more video series. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
They were:
[Counting Down the Five Most Tragic Shinobi in Naruto]
[Counting Down the Five Happiest Couples in Naruto]
[Counting Down the Ten Greatest Ninjutsu in Naruto]
Su Han opened the three video series and gave them one final check.
“The Five Happiest Couples should be beyond dispute.”
“But who should take first place among the Five Most Tragic Shinobi? Jiraiya? Or Minato Namikaze and Kushina?”
Su Han closed his eyes and weighed the choices in his mind.
As a Naruto fan, when it came to tragic shinobi, Jiraiya and the couple Minato Namikaze and Kushina were the ones Su Han considered the most tragic.
When Jiraiya set out for the Hidden Rain Village to investigate the Akatsuki, the confession he never managed to say to Tsunade—”When I come back alive, I’ll marry you”—was already filled with regret.
Then, because he lacked sufficient information, he was killed by his own disciple.
It was truly tragic enough.
As for Minato Namikaze and Kushina, just when their son Naruto had been born and the family of three was about to begin a happy life together,
Obito’s actions caused the Nine-Tails to be extracted from Kushina, leaving her on the verge of death.
Then, in order to seal the Nine-Tails, the couple sacrificed themselves, forever separated from their newborn son.
Especially the final scene, where Kushina looked at little Naruto on the sealing platform and carefully gave him her final instructions, made Su Han feel that it was both magnificent and deeply moving.
He had included that scene in the video as well.
“Who should take first place among the Five Most Tragic Shinobi?”
Su Han’s gaze shifted back and forth between the two videos as he made his choice.
Finally, his eyes settled on one of them.
“That’s it. I’ll put this one in first place!”
He then packaged the three video series and sent them to the website contact.
Su Han stood up, went to wash his face, made himself a bowl of beef noodles, finished it in a few quick bites, and returned to the computer.
The chat window flashed.
A message from the website contact arrived.
“Thank you, Mr. Su. You’ve worked hard!”
“Our website owner is extremely satisfied with the quality of your videos!”
“We look forward to seeing you create even more excellent videos!”
Seeing this, the corners of Su Han’s mouth lifted slightly.
As long as his major client was satisfied, that was all that mattered.
“Then it’s time to work on the most important series!”
Su Han rubbed his hands together excitedly, opened the complete Naruto series once again, and began editing another set of videos.
…
…
The Naruto world.
Within the pitch-black alternate dimension, the voice of the Lord of the Myriad Worlds slowly rang out.
“All right. I’ll give everyone three minutes to discuss. After that, starting with Konoha Village, each village will send one representative to guess who the fifth biggest show-off is!”
