058: New Mangekyo, A Girl With Flaming Hair and Burning Eyes!

"Explode, Reality! Crumble, Spirit! I am the wielder of black flames, let this smoke-filled world be cleansed by the inextinguishable black flames!"

Naruto's loud voice instantly attracted the attention of the people around the Hokage Rock.

"Pfft~~ Who is that?"

"Damn it, it's that naughty Nine-Tails brat again."

"He should be locked up, I don't understand why Lord Hokage let him out so freely."

From the crowd, one hurtful comment after another followed.

However, this didn't make Naruto retreat in the slightest.

On the contrary, he became even happier because he felt the attention of the crowd.

"See? As expected, these words are very eye-catching."

Naruto turned sideways, gave a thumbs up, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, smiling at Sasuke.

Idiot.

You're a big idiot!

Sasuke's face was gloomy, but there was a slight tremor in his eyes.

Only now did he truly realize that Naruto was also an orphan.

Just like him.

"Move aside, your tone is wrong, and you said the lines wrong.

"Watch me!"

Sasuke also took two steps forward, standing side by side with Naruto at the top of the Hokage Rock.

"Explode, Reality! Crumble, Spirit!"

"I am the wielder of black flames! I will do my best to let the inextinguishable black flames cleanse this smoke-filled world!"

This time, even more villagers gathered.

"What's going on?"

"That seems to be the Uchiha survivor, right?"

"Shhh, do you want to die? You can't talk about the Uchiha."

"What are they doing? Did they get infected by the demon Nine-Tails?"

"It's... possible. Should we call the ninja adults over?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and even some ninjas had noticed them.

However, neither of these two's identities were something they could touch.

As long as they weren't taken out of the village by suspicious individuals and didn't do anything dangerous, they wouldn't bother to stop them.

Moreover, that little Uchiha had just experienced the night of the clan massacre.

However, was it really okay to let them carry on like this? Should they report it to the Hokage?

"Tsk!"

"Your voice is too low, it's far worse compared to mine!"

Naruto said dissatisfiedly.

"Forget it, I won't compete with you this time. Let's do it together, how about you say one line, I say the next one?"

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, speaking with a proud look.

Because of Naruto's presence, he no longer felt the initial embarrassment.

"Alright, is this a competition? You're going to lose! This is my home turf."

Naruto also raised his head, looking down at people with his chin.

"Hehe, then let's begin, this time, I'll go first!"

Uchiha Sasuke: "Explode, Reality!"

Uzumaki Naruto: "Crumble, Spirit!"

...

The two were as thick-skinned as city walls, their voices rising and falling in a competition.

The setting sun in the sky began to gradually sink, and a brilliant fiery cloud appeared.

The entire earth was bathed in a crimson glow.

It reflected a dazzling light in their eyes.

"No one can escape the cycle of this world producing waste.

"Cleanse... the world...

"Reshape... the world..."

In the corner of the crowd, a young girl in a black robe and a hood, murmured with a numb expression.

Beside the girl, Natsuki watched his two little friends performing hard on the Hokage Rock, and said softly:

"See? Even in the most difficult times, they never lost hope."

"Can you believe it? They are destined to reach the pinnacle of this ninja world."

The girl's eyes gradually lit up with a glimmer of light.

It was Uchiha Izumi, who had been rescued by King Arthur.

For a month, Natsuki had tried every means, but he could only occasionally help her break free from her self-imposed isolation, slightly opening a crack in her heart.

This time, taking advantage of Sasuke's request, he brought her along. 

All three were "orphans." Perhaps they could find some resonance in each other's voices.

"They are just like you.

"You know them, one is named Uchiha Sasuke, and the other is Uzumaki Naruto."

These words finally caused a slight stir in the girl.

Her empty eyes became increasingly brighter.

"Can I go up there?"

The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Yes!"

Natsuki nodded, then warned: "However, if you are discovered by ANBU, you will likely lose your life."

"Then, do you want me to go up?"

The girl tilted her head, looking at Natsuki. 

At this moment, her eyes clearly reflected Natsuki's image.

"Perhaps, fading away while burning brightly is better than becoming a walking corpse. But, let me make this clear, we will not be saving you this time."

"Alright! I'm going up there."

"Hmm, right, take this with you."

The girl caught the exquisite badge that Natsuki tossed over. 

The badge had a background of an endless abyss, with a dazzling magic circle on it.

Izumi tilted her head again, looking at Natsuki with a slightly puzzled expression.

Today was the day her facial muscles had moved the most in an entire month.

As her heart opened, many self-sealed memory fragments slowly began to surface.

"After you go up, you can no longer hide your identity and return. Either perish in a daze in the land where you were born and raised, or completely wake up and remember who you are. At that time, we will send you away from Konoha.

"This badge is the symbol of the Dimensional End's Congregation that I founded. Perhaps it can grant you some luck. If you have the aptitude…"

The aptitude for being a chuuni...

The girl carefully pinned it to the most prominent position on her left chest.

...

Naruto: "Wow, Sasuke. Look, so many people. As expected, just learning a little bit from Natsuki is enough to attract everyone's attention."

Sasuke: "Yeah, the most incredible thing is that I'm shouting nonsense here with you, a big idiot, and I don't feel embarrassed. Have I been assimilated by your remaining braincell?"

But with these shouts, the suppressed feelings he had held since the clan massacre a month ago were greatly relieved.

He felt much more comfortable.

Could this be Natsuki's purpose?

To gain great power, you have to first step out of the shadow of the past?

For the first time, Sasuke felt that he, too, had an epiphany!

If there was anyone in the class that Sasuke couldn't understand but held awe for, it was only Natsuki.

"Can you speak like a normal human? Don't just stand there and continue! Didn't Natsuki say to shout until sunset? We're almost there."

Naruto angrily kicked Sasuke.

Just as they were about to continue,

a person wearing a black robe and a hood covering their face walked out from behind them.

"Can I shout with you?"

The newcomer was Izumi. 

She originally wanted to ask them, as orphans, how they could live so comfortably in this world, why their eyes were still full of hope, just why...

Finally, when she truly came to their side, thousands of words were reduced to this one sentence.

"Sure, big sister, do you also want to gain attention?"

Naruto recognized her as an older sister from her voice and height. 

Although he was a little reluctant to share the attention with another person, he still agreed, as he didn't know how to refuse girls.

"Then, let's begin! The sun is about to set, let's use all our remaining strength."

"Explode, Reality!"

"Crumble, Spirit!"

Naruto: "I am the wielder of black flames, let this smoke-filled world be cleansed by the inextinguishable black flames!"

Sasuke: "I am the wielder of black flames! I will do my best to let the inextinguishable black flames cleanse this smoke-filled world!"

Uchiha Izumi: "I am the Crusader of the crimson flame. In this life, my flames will continue to grow stronger to burn away the darkness. In this world, I will strive to rebuild a world of harmony for all. 

"I firmly believe that my clansmen, my loved ones, have not perished, they are always by my side, silently supporting me..."

The voices of the three rose one after another.

Finally, Izumi's voice seemed to explode in the sky above Konoha, echoing in all directions.

"That... Big Sis... You recited the lines… wrong..."

Naruto turned his head in astonishment, his head buzzing. For the first time, he was willing to bow down in terms of his proud loud voice.

He stopped mid-sentence, but was suddenly stunned by the huge change in the young lady beside him.

A powerful airflow suddenly rose, blowing off the girl's hood.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, gradually turning into a brilliant red, then the color became brighter and brighter, with faint flames flickering.

Her three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.

The ocular power that had surged during the night of the clan massacre, the eyes that were close to evolution finally ushered in a qualitative change.

The three tomoe connected with her pupils, transforming into the shape of a blade.

The black in her eyes disappeared, replaced by an increasingly bright flame color.

The Crusader of the crimson flame!

"Sister Izumi!"

Sasuke's jaw dropped in surprise, recognizing the older sister who had protected him on his way home.

Then the girl leaped into the air.

The last sight of the two little sprouts landed on the shining exquisite badge on her chest...
