"My companions are struggling and killing enemies on the battlefield, why do I have to hide here!"

"Maybe I am the only one who can stop Hana!" Naruto shouted.

"Because the purpose of this war is to protect you." Iruka said with a firm look.

"Naruto, you still don't understand, Hana is different now than she was before!"

"Her goal now is not only to destroy Konoha, but also to assist Madara in completing the Moon Eye Plan!"

"She killed the daimyo of the five great countries, causing them to suffer an unprecedented crisis. Now Hana has fallen into darkness! You should also be aware of it!"

"And she and Madara used all their forces to seize your Nine-Tails and Killer Bee's Eight-Tails. Even if Hana doesn't have this goal, Madara does."

Iruka walked to Naruto. In front of Iruka, he said earnestly; "No matter how good friends you and Hanako are, you can't think too much in this situation."

"Once the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails are taken away, the enemy's technique will be completed and the world will be destroyed!"

"Protecting you is equivalent to protecting everyone and the future of this world."

"Everyone is fighting for you at this moment, Naruto... I hope you can defeat yourself!"

"You can only endure it now! It's hard for Hanako to come back!"

Listening to Iruka's almost pleading tone, Naruto's thoughts returned to the past.

It was a day when he was eight years old. He went to the Uchiha family for dinner, and Hanako cooked his favorite food for him and Sasuke respectively.

"Wow! Ichiraku Ramen! Hanako, you can actually do it!"

"Hehe." Hearing Naruto's praise for her cooking skills, Hanako rubbed her nose.

"Shut up, Hanako's cooking is the most delicious, just eat it!" Sasuke interrupted Naruto, picked up the salmon and ate it with miso soup.

"Sasuke!" Naruto glared at Sasuke with dissatisfaction.

Seeing the two people fighting each other, Hanako patted Sasuke and Naruto on the shoulders.

"Don't be angry! Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat."

Seeing this, Sasuke and Naruto stopped making trouble.

This meal was a happy one. Naruto was older than Hanako, so he talked at the table. Although Sasuke pretended to be uninterested, he was also listening to Naruto's words silently.

What about playing well with Shikamaru and Choji, was listened to by Hanako seriously.

Sasuke finished eating quickly and walked towards his own room. The night of genocide still had a great impact on Sasuke. Only Naruto and Hanako were left in the living room.

"Hana..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" After putting away the dishes, Hana wiped the table.

"You said, if one day, we both have to face a choice, but this choice will hurt each other..."

Naruto whispered, but Hana put down the rag, washed her hands with water, and sat next to him.

Under the slightly dim light, Hana smiled very brightly, she lifted her temples and stared at Naruto.

"Hmm?" Naruto was puzzled.

As a result, Hana pinched his face immediately.

"What are you kidding!"

"Naruto, we are best friends!"

Hana patted Naruto's cheeks with both hands and let him look at her like this.

"Naruto, you will definitely become Hokage, and I will definitely find that crystal clear flower field!"

"No matter what, I have no doubt about it, so there is no need to worry about this kind of thing!"

After hearing this, Naruto looked at Hana with a dazed expression. At this moment, Hana's innocence and simplicity were deeply engraved in his heart.

And Hana's charming smile left the most profound footnote for the warmth in Naruto's heart now.

The promise in childhood, the bond after growing up, and the promise with Hana, this encounter has been indelible in Naruto's heart. Even at this point, Naruto still firmly believes that he and Hana must still be best friends!

Even if this friendship has become a thing of the past, Naruto will not forget it.

Naruto raised his head and looked at everyone present, including Iruka. This is the perseverance that Naruto has never had before.

"I will end this war alone."

"No matter the hatred or the pain, I will bear it all by myself. This is my mission!"

Listening to Naruto's words, Iruka was furious: "Didn't you understand what I said? You have the Nine-Tails in your body!"

"This is not just your problem, Naruto!"

"After Hanane, you are the first teacher to acknowledge me..."

"Why do you only think about the Nine-Tails now, but don't believe me!" Naruto asked, patting his chest.

'Now is not the time to be willful.At that time, you were one of the most important students to me...'

"Whether it's you or Kanon, it's true!" Iruka recalled the happy days when he and Naruto were often invited by Kanon to the Uchiha family for dinner, but now they are all gone.

"I treated you and Kanon as my younger brother and sister..."

At this moment, Naruto's Sage Mode faded, and his eyes turned blue.

"Now, Kanon has joined the enemy and is trying her best to catch you."

"How could I watch you go to such a dangerous place and sit back and do nothing!"

"Besides, you shouldn't bear this matter alone. Kanon has become what she is now, and I, as a teacher, have also made a profound mistake."

Naruto interrupted Iruka when he heard this: "I am no longer the same as before!"

"I have become stronger, and wasn't it Iruka who gave me this forehead protector?"

Iruka looked at the forehead protector that had just fallen off and picked it up.

"Naruto... you've become stronger, but Hanane has become stronger too!"

"Look at Konoha before, look at the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations..."

When Iruka was about to say something else, he was interrupted by Naruto

"So what, Hanane is still Hanane, isn't she?!"

Iruka was also startled when he heard this, Hanane is still Hanane...

He walked in front of Naruto with a silent expression and handed the forehead protector to Naruto.

The moment Naruto took it, the seal on Iruka's body turned.

"No! Even so, I can't let you go!"

Naruto was startled and lowered his head.

"Teacher, I said I've become stronger, and such a seal barrier is useless to me..."

Suddenly, Naruto activated the Nine-Tails Chakra mode and instantly broke free from the shadow imitation technique.

"Not good!" Aburame Shiwei instantly made a move, and countless insects wrapped around Naruto.

But these parasitic bugs were useless. Naruto, who had mastered the Nine-Tails Chakra, flew out of the swarm in just a moment.

Looking at the direction where Naruto was going, Aburame Shiwei ordered: "Timyi, tell the barrier team in front that Naruto is going there!"

"Yes!"

"Others, come with me to chase Naruto, hurry up!"

Naruto was very fast, he shuttled through the jungle, but he was still a little confused, why, why did Iruka teacher stop him.

But soon, when Naruto was about to put on the forehead protector, a piece of white paper was stuck in the forehead protector.

"This is..."

Naruto opened the white paper and saw the words on it, which were written by Iruka.

This is what was written on the note.

"I know you. You must be eager to go to the battlefield immediately."

"I understand your feelings for Hanane and your determination. Since you have seen this letter, it means that I failed to stop you."

"From the moment Tsunade-sama ordered me to find a way to stay on the island of Kumogakure Village, I prepared this letter just in case."

"It's embarrassing to do this before the mission starts..."

"I don't know if you can get this letter successfully when the time comes."

"You left without hesitation. All I can say is..."

"You must stay alive and bring Hanane back!"

At this time, Iruka also looked in the direction where Naruto left, but he smiled at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Naruto... I'm too weak."

"I consider myself your brother, but I always fail to protect you and Hanane..."
