Chapter 135 - After the War [2] (1/2)
''No! Please don't!'' Black Zetsu cried out after feeling his body being slowly pulled towards Naruto. It looked like an invisible hand grabbed it, dragging it away.
Naruto's eyes scared it to no end. A black abyss that seemed to devour everything and anything.
Even Hagoromo couldn't help but pity Black Zetsu's fate as he saw it was locked by a strange force. Looking towards Naruto, he said: ''Fulfill your promise, reincarnation of Ashura. I won't interfere any longer, now, I will return to the Spiritual Plane.''
'Tch, don't worry, old man. In no time, I'll be scaring you to death even though you're already dead!' Naruto thought to himself with a mischievous smile.
''Hey... What will we do with him? I mean, he's the main culprit of the war with the exception of Black Zetsu. Though he was manipulated, the amount of casualties is just huge.'' Sasuke said with a frown, truth to be told, if not because he knows that Obito is Kakashi's childhood friend... He would instantly kill Obito.
The latter sighed before saying: ''What I did was unforgivable and nothing in the world can revive the countless deaths caused by me. It doesn't matter what you choose, I'll comply and even if you ask me to use my own life as a punishment, I will do it.''
Naruto shook his head slightly before saying: ''You're still Nii-san friend but also my parents' murderer. Dying is a bad punishment, in your lifetime, you'll serve under Uzushiogakure, that's all.''
'Just... that?' Obito thought while furrowing his brows before nodding, he understood that Naruto was making things easier for him. He bent his body down before saying: ''I thank you for your help, Naruto. If this is how you wish me to redeem myself, I'll serve under Uzushiogakure.''
Seeing that, Sasuke and Haku couldn't help but sigh as they also understood Naruto was making things easier. The black-haired youngster sighed once again before he said speechlessly: ''You're weird, Naruto. Anyway, the Infinite Tsukuyomi has been released and now we must calm everyone down, what are you going to do from now on?''
''Hmmm... I guess I'll open Uzushiogakure for anyone that want to live inside it and live leisurely. That reminds me... Do you want to live on Uzushiogakure as well? You and Sakura, you know...?'' Naruto said while giving a sideglance to Sasuke, who thought for a bit before nodding.
Haku smiled before he quickly said: ''Now that I've finished my training, I can go back and live at Uzushiogakure as well, Naruto-sama. I'll be able to help you with everything there!''
Giving Haku thumbs up, Naruto smirked before saying: ''Ey ey ey, your Hyoton has gone a mutation and I know why that is happening. I'll help you understand 'that' energy later, how?''
''It's fine for me.''
Nodding, Naruto's body floated up before he said in a tone that was neither loud nor low, it was just normal. However, his voice seemed to pass through the air and fix itself deep onto the mind of every single person in the world: ''The Infinite Tsukuyomi released by Uchiha Madara released a major threat to the world, the Rabbit Goddess who is also known as Otsutsuki Kaguya. She has been killed by the Nanadaime Uzukage known as Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke.''
''The war has been won!'' Through these last words, cries of victory rang with sorrow yet happiness-filled feelings. Many lost their families in that war and knowing that it has been won at least reassured them that their families had been avenged.
Naruto smirked before his voice was transmitted to them: ''I, Naruto Uzumaki, also announce that Uzushiogakure will be officially opened to anyone who enters it. People who lost their family in the war will have extra care for a specific amount of time, children who can't take care of themselves will be put in our many orphanages.''
With the message transmitted, he stopped talking.
Meanwhile, on the place where Tsunade was put in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Fifth Hokage woke up groggily before hearing Naruto's words: ''Good words, brat.''
Due to just waking up from the dream, her body lost balance but before she could fall, someone's hands grabbed her shoulder, supporting her. A man with nicely combed white-colored hair and a good beard said: ''How are you doing, Hime?''
