For the "Gods" mentioned by the screen, everyone present had their own choices in mind.
To avoid pointless arguments like those between Kakashi and Asuma, where they just banter, everyone decided it was better not to say anything aloud.
At most, after the screen finishes playing, they could have a private discussion.
Regardless of what others thought or who they picked, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were certain to be on the list.
In their view, even during the "God battle" of the Fourth Great Ninja War, these two were at the top.
"In the Fourth Great Ninja War, one of the 'Gods' is definitely me."
Sasuke spoke with absolute certainty, and no one contradicted him.
Thinking about it, Sasuke, who had transplanted Itachi's eyes and evolved them into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, no longer had the flaw of reduced vision. Wouldn't he unleash Mangekyō's specialized techniques recklessly?
Not to mention, a fully awakened Susanoo alone was troublesome. Few people present could defeat that.
"Since there's Sasuke, then there must be me too."
Naruto said this with confidence as well.
Everyone present immediately recalled Naruto's performance on the screen.
He could perfectly use the Nine-Tails Mode and even form various Rasengans. Such abilities and performance were enough to be considered Kage-level combat power.
At that moment, everyone suddenly realized.
Sasuke and Naruto's performances on the screen seemed a bit frightening.
Sasuke had his clan Kekkei Genkai, plus he transplanted Itachi's eyes, giving him the strength he showed on the screen.
But what about Naruto?
Was it just because of his mother's Uzumaki bloodline?
Oh, and also the perfect Nine-Tails Mode.
This mode was something both Mito and Kushina, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, never managed to achieve, but Naruto did?
One has to admit, the Child of Prophecy is truly terrifying.
"Good to see that Konoha has a successor," the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction as he looked at Naruto and Sasuke.
Back then, he had firmly rejected Danzo's request to have them join ROOT. Now, it seemed that this decision was undoubtedly the best one he made in his lifetime.
"To be honest, I'm a bit envious of Sasuke and Naruto."
With the hints provided by the screen, the paths of strength for Sasuke and Naruto were already clear. All they had to do was follow the steps shown on the screen.
As time passed, they would eventually become the kind of powerful figures displayed on the screen.
This situation caused Asuma, Kakashi, and the others to feel envious.
They also wanted such spoilers.
But unfortunately for Asuma, his fate had already been sealed on the screen, and how to grow stronger would be something he had to figure out on his own.
Kakashi, on the other hand, still had a glimmer of hope.
"By the time it's my turn, I hope the ending won't be too bad."
[Naruto completed his training in controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra and gained the ability to sense malice. The hidden Kisame, inside Samehada, was immediately detected, punched in the stomach, and forced to flee in a panic after being injured.]
[Samehada, however, did its last favor, transferring some chakra from Killer Bee and revived Kisame.]
[But without his sword, Kisame was soon surrounded and trapped by his destined opponent, Guy.]
[Neither side held back. Guy opened the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates, using Morning Tiger.]
[Kisame used his big shark bomb technique, which absorbs chakra and grows stronger the more chakra it absorbs.]
[However, everyone knew that Guy was a Taijutsu master who relied solely on Taijutsu, not ninjutsu. When Kisame realized he couldn't absorb Guy's power, he probably cursed inwardly, and unfortunately, he was defeated by Guy.]
[Later, Kisame's information was collected by Aoba Yamashiro on the Akatsuki.]
[In order to avoid information leakage, Kisame bit off his own tongue. He remembered what he had heard when he first met Itachi Uchiha: those who kill their own kin never have a good end.]
[After the life-flashing-before-eyes moment, knowing there was no escape, he struggled to break free from his restraints, summoning a summoning beast to take his own life.]
[This act of not betraying his comrades left a deep impression on Guy.]
[Guy: "He lived like a true ninja, and he died like a true ninja. Kisame Hoshigaki, I will remember your name for the rest of my life."]
"Old man, do you think there's a chance we could turn Kisame over to our side? Maybe get him to join Konoha or even return to the Hidden Mist?"
It was clear that Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, genuinely admired Kisame and didn't want him to die just like that.
"Although I also admire Kisame, I have to say, you're just dreaming."
"I know it's difficult, but anything is possible if we try."
The Third Hokage shook his head. "Anyway, I don't think it's likely. Based on the belief Kisame showed on the screen, I don't think it's possible to change his mind before he fails."
"Sigh~ It's really a shame."
[It's hard to imagine that Guy would say something so literary. One can only imagine how deeply Kisame left an impression on him.]
[Before his death, Kisame successfully had the summoning beast deliver the information back to the Akatsuki. In the worst-case scenario, he completed his mission perfectly.]
[Looking at his life, during his time in the Hidden Mist, he couldn't see the situation as Fuguki Suikazan did, and could only bury himself in his work as a tool.]
[The Eye of the Moon Plan, for which he fought, later became a deception.]
[But so what? In this world, who can truly see all the truths?]
"What? The Eye of the Moon Plan is a scam?"
The people in the office exchanged glances.
The Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and others had just been advising Rin to ask Obito about the Eye of the Moon Plan when she had the chance.
But now, not long after, the screen said the Eye of the Moon Plan was a scam.
This was getting interesting.
What role did Obito play in this plan?
Was he the planner, or was he just an executor?
There were too many variables, and Rin decided that the next time she saw Obito, she would definitely ask him for a clear answer.
[On this ninja continent, in the end, it was only Kisame who honestly formed the seals, like a ninja guarding information and dying with dignity.]
[Kisame had many likable qualities.]
[When it came to handling Suigetsu, a ninja from the Hidden Mist, he never went for the kill and was always patient.]
[Kisame was also very polite in his dealings with others. The manual clearly stated: his tone was always as attentive as if he were trying to please, especially towards Itachi, where his concern even bordered on worry.]
[The manual also clearly mentioned that all members of the Akatsuki had their own pursuits, but Kisame never voiced his beliefs aloud.]
[Among all the Akatsuki members, Kisame was the only one who was diligent and unwavering in his commitment to the organization's ultimate ideals.]
[He had never stepped on a landmine throughout his journey, and he also had clear goals, grew over time, and had solid strength. It was characters like him, who had experienced growth, that the public liked.]
