Shocking! The Mysterious Sky Veil Brings Chaos! | Naruto

The Ninja World Reacts

"Beautiful! That hit landed perfectly. Could this be Naruto's counterattack?"

"Wait, wasn't that move a bit... too brutal?"

"Ugh, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable back there."

"Even though it was an amazing move, Naruto's chances of winning are still slim."

The attack's aftermath sent a collective shudder through everyone watching.

"Well done, Naruto!"

Naruto's close friends cheered, pumping their fists as they saw the boy pull off a successful counterattack.

Scene: The Battlefield

As the smoke cleared, Gaara's figure emerged. His body was partially crumbling—half of his sand armor had collapsed from the explosive tag's impact.

"Damn it! He actually targeted the weakest spot—my tail!" Gaara growled.

"That guy!"

"Uzumaki Naruto, I swear I'll kill you!"

Gaara's furious gaze locked onto Naruto, his bloodlust palpable as he roared with rage.

Back in the real world, Gaara walked out of the room where he had been watching, his face dark and menacing. His siblings, Temari and Kankuro, felt a chill run through them.

"Gaara..." Temari whispered, her concern evident, but she didn't dare approach him.

Gaara stared at the sky, his mind swirling with confusion. How could someone with a past so similar to his fight to protect others, even at the cost of his own safety?

To Gaara, people were obstacles. He needed no one's approval, no one's love. He was a demon, a bringer of destruction.

"What companions? What family? Everyone should just die."

Scene: Sasuke's Determination

Sasuke, breathing heavily, forced himself to speak. "Hey, Naruto!"

"Even if it costs your life, save Sakura. You have to do it. Once you get her out, run!"

"I can still hold him off for a little while..."

"If I die... it just means this is all I'm capable of."

In the scene, Sasuke wavered as he struggled to stand, his body trembling.

"I've already lost everything once..." he muttered. "That's why... I don't want to lose my precious companions again."

Naruto stared at Sasuke, stunned. His eyes filled with hope and a strange, indescribable light.

"Precious companions..."

Naruto's voice echoed the thought aloud. "Precious companions..."

He watched Sasuke in disbelief. The proud, arrogant boy was saying something so heartfelt.

"He acknowledged me... he recognized my existence."

Jiraiya ruffled Naruto's hair with a soft smile. "You're happy, aren't you?"

Naruto nodded vigorously, his grin wide and genuine.

Konoha Village

"Sasuke-kun... you did that for me?" Sakura whispered, tears streaming down her face. She never thought Sasuke would go so far for her.

"Go, Naruto!"

"Could this be another breakthrough moment?"

"Is this the power of bonds?"

ONSCREEN

As Naruto looked at Sasuke, he remembered the mission in the Land of Waves and Kakashi's words.

"I will never let my comrades be killed by the enemy."

A light began to glow in Naruto's eyes—a spark of determination and courage that pushed away his doubt.

"Do you have someone you care about deeply?"

The image of Haku flashed through his mind.

"When people fight to protect those important to them, they become truly strong."

The doubt in Naruto's gaze disappeared, replaced by steadfast resolve and an unyielding spirit.

"So that's what it means..."

Driven by an unseen force, Naruto slowly stood, his trembling body now steady. His eyes shone with determination.

"Because he's so much like me... living a lonely, sad life..."

"That guy has always fought alone, for himself, and that's why I thought he was strong."

"But real strength... isn't like that. Fighting only for yourself doesn't make you truly strong!"

Naruto's body stopped shaking. A wave of strength surged from within him.

"I won't lose!"

The voice of his companions echoed in his mind as he clapped his hands together to form a seal.

"HAAAH!"

A burst of chakra exploded from Naruto's body, enveloping him like a roaring blue flame.

Blue chakra wasn't rare—it was the standard for most shinobi.

But what shocked everyone was the sheer amount of chakra pouring out of Naruto. This wasn't the Nine-Tails' power. It was his own.

"Is this... chakra manifestation?"

The leaders of the Five Great Nations were stunned.

"Such a young boy... how does he have so much chakra?"

The Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes. "If he grows stronger, he'll be a major force for Konoha—and he's already the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki."

"Unbelievable," Onoki muttered. "That kid's chakra reserves rival those of top-tier shinobi—and he's just a child!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled warmly, his eyes filled with pride. "You've grown so much, Naruto. Minato, I hope you're watching this moment."

ONSCREEN

"I will protect all of you!" Naruto shouted, his conviction at its peak.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

POOF!

A massive cloud of white smoke blanketed the forest. As it cleared, the sheer scale of Naruto's clones became visible.

From Gaara's perspective, the entire forest was teeming with Narutos. Every tree, every branch was covered with clones. The sight sent a cold sweat down his back.

The ninja world was speechless.

"...What?!"

"How many... 500? 1,000? There's no way! Is that even humanly possible?!"

"That kid... how does he have this much chakra?!"

"Chakra? No, this isn't chakra—this is tonnes of chakra!"

"I thought he was a dropout... If this is a dropout, what am I?!"

"At his age, with chakra like this? He's already nearing Kage level!"

The Twelve Guardians couldn't hide their shock.

"That guy... he's been hiding this all along?" Kiba muttered, his disbelief mirrored by everyone around him.

Even Sasuke, a natural prodigy, stared at Naruto with wide eyes. He couldn't believe Naruto, of all people, had such power.

Kakashi chuckled. "That amount of chakra... not even I have reserves like that."

Deep down, Kakashi felt a pang of envy. "No wonder... he's an Uzumaki."

Scene: 2,000 Shadow Clones

Sasuke's stunned voice echoed in the scene. "Is this... really that same Naruto?"

Naruto stood tall, his voice firm. "I will protect you all!"

As the white smoke cleared, 2,000 shadow clones emerged, covering the forest like an army.

Gaara froze, sweat dripping down his face.

The ninja world collectively lost their composure.

"TWO THOUSAND?!"

The sheer scale left everyone speechless. Then the first voice broke the silence:

"WHAT THE HECK?!?"

Pandemonium erupted.

"This many clones?! That's not chakra, that's insanity!"

"This is Uzumaki Naruto?!"

"If this is a dead last, I quit!"
