Chapter 76 Naruto Cries in Anger: Why do all the guys who like Sasuke insult me?!
A dozen or so bullet comments of varying lengths flooded the screen, seemingly spamming the comment section. They poignantly described the deep bond between Naruto and Sasuke.
His statement that he had liked Sasuke for over a decade was particularly unbelievable to the ninja world.
Sasuke Uchiha was only 17 years old during the Fourth Shinobi World War...
"You've liked Sasuke for over a decade?" The ninjas, unable to comprehend the difference in time flow between the two worlds, exclaimed in surprise, "Does that mean you've liked him almost since he was born?"
Of course, these weren't the ninjas' main concerns. The information revealed in the comments and the profound understanding of Uchiha Sasuke were what caused silence to fall over each timeline.
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
"To stop the war and bring peace to the ninja world by using the most cruel method on yourself?" Tobirama Senju rationally remarked, "The thought processes of you Uchiha after awakening your Sharingan are truly... peculiar, yet somehow they make a sliver of sense..."
"Tobirama, Tobirama..." Hashirama whispered to his younger brother, "You should be a little more tactful with your words, or Madara will misunderstand."
Tobirama Senju didn't utter a single grand statement. Compared to himself, his elder brother's words were much more direct, weren't they?
"Are you really going to do this?! Sasuke!!" Naruto's surprised eyes were filled with tenderness for Sasuke.
From the day he was born, he became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and no one in Konoha knew the pain of being a Jinchuriki better than him.
And those comments on the screen actually said that Sasuke planned to become the Jinchūriki of the entire ninja world?! Cut off all contact with everyone, and as the number one enemy of the five great ninja nations, accept everyone's insults, attacks, and even assassination attempts?!
Faced with Naruto's questioning, Sasuke Uchiha chose to remain silent with a cold expression...
Naruto knows Sasuke too well. When Sasuke is silent, it means that's exactly what he's thinking! He wants to do what the comments are saying! To sacrifice himself to bring peace to the ninja world!!
While feeling sorry for Sasuke, Naruto was both angry and anxious about Sasuke's mindset! Moreover, he knew that Sasuke was very stubborn! Extremely stubborn!! Ordinary methods of persuasion simply wouldn't change his mind!
"Now I understand. No wonder my future self was willing to pay the price of losing an arm to stop you," Naruto said.
Looking at the comments, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
"But to see that someone likes you and cares about you so much..." Naruto Uzumaki smiled happily. "I don't know why, but I feel very happy too. My chest feels like it's filled with joy."
Sasuke remained unmoved. Just as the comments said, how could his hatred be quelled with a few words?
However, Nara Shikamaru advised Naruto to say such things less often in the future.
Naruto: "Why, I'm asking you?"
Why else?! The most terrifying thing is flirting without even realizing it!
……
However, while the grown-up Naruto might be happy that someone likes Sasuke, the young Naruto wouldn't be.
Timeline before the Uchiha Clan Massacre —
Naruto was so angry he was biting his clothes!
"Ugh! Why do all the girls like Sasuke?!" Naruto was almost crying with anger. "Those girls! Almost all of them are cursing me! And they all especially like Sasuke!! Why is that?!"
Sakura: "Because Sasuke is stronger and more handsome than you! You idiot Naruto!!"
The other girls behind Sakura nodded in agreement, practically writing "the difference in quality is obvious" on their foreheads.
Whether it's Naruto, Sasuke, or the girls in the ninja academy, they are all only 6 years old...
They cannot yet fully grasp the amount of information conveyed in the bullet comments, nor Sasuke's resolve to become the public enemy of the ninja world in order to seek peace.
They simply cannot understand the feelings of a reader who has loved an anime character for over a decade.
Only the adults standing behind them can understand Sasuke's madness, Sasuke's pain, and Sasuke's despair.
If some of the Konoha ninjas were wary of young Sasuke, preventing him from growing into a future dictator equal to Madara Uchiha.
Then Itachi, Mikoto, Fugaku, and the clansmen who watched Sasuke grow up were in so much pain that they didn't want that kind of future no matter what.
However, according to Nara Shikaku's analysis, the future shown in the mirror is already predetermined, and it seems to be a parallel world compared to their world.
"Parallel worlds don't interfere with each other, but knowing this information can help us avoid such a future." Nara Shikaku seemed to be reporting to the Third Hokage, but he was actually subtly hinting at Uchiha Fugaku.
Shikamaru and Sasuke are about the same age, and as a father themselves, Shikaku can somewhat understand Fugaku Uchiha's feelings at this moment.
As a mother, Uchiha Mikoto's dark eyes were filled with sorrow.
When Naruto complained that everyone liked Sasuke and disliked him, she took Kushina's place and stroked Naruto's head, telling him, "There are many people who like you too, Naruto."
Mikoto Uchiha: "Like Kushina and Minato, and like Sasuke and me~"
Mikoto couldn't directly tell the future Naruto that he would rather die than give up on Sasuke. She could only stroke Naruto's little head and turn her gratitude for the future Naruto into affection for the little Naruto in front of her.
However, her words immediately drew the ire of young Sasuke!
Her face flushed red like a tomato, and she angrily denied it, "Who would like this loser! I don't like him at all!! He's always causing me trouble, and he's so noisy, and..."
"Oh dear~ You're saying one thing and meaning another~"
"Mom!!" Little Sasuke's face turned puffy with anger.
Fugaku Uchiha stood with his hands in his pockets, glancing to the side.
Mikoto...she knows how to tease her son...
However, when Naruto looked up, he could see the unresolved worry in Aunt Mikoto's dark eyes about the current situation and the unknown future.

Timeline of the Wave Kingdom Mission —
Zabuza glanced at Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing there stunned by the comments, and said, "Are there some problems with the brains of all you Uchiha?"
The future Sasuke Uchiha, Obito Uchiha who controlled Yagura Karatachi, Madara Uchiha resurrected by Edo Tensei...
Haku looked at Sasuke, feeling that the boy's future fate was far too tragic. If he had to choose, perhaps it would have been better if he had died in childhood.
"They clearly wanted to change the ninja world and lead it in the right direction, but they used methods that almost no one else had ever thought of," Bai sighed.
As the barrage of comments overflowed from the mirror and filled the sky, he and Zabuza pondered what choices they should make for the future.
I just hope that what Mei Terumi told them during the Fourth Shinobi World War—that the Mizukage was manipulated by Obito Uchiha—can also appear in these comments, so that the people of Kirigakure can discover the Uchiha's conspiracy sooner.
But if not...
Zabuza thought to himself that if it were him, he would choose to make a trip to Kirigakure to send the message back.
But when Zabuza looked at Haku, who was determined to follow him to the death, he hesitated again.
Meanwhile, the seventh squad, on their first high-difficulty mission, were still preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Naruto complained indignantly to the comments section above: "I've liked Sasuke for over ten years?! Damn it!! Why hasn't anyone liked me for over ten years?!"
