Naruto, check out those famous scenes

However, despite Naruto and his friends' determination to stop all this, the enemy was as elusive as a ghost in the dark night, so they could only passively follow the enemy's traces.

What's more, the enemy also possesses the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which undoubtedly makes the situation more confusing and difficult to deal with.

Moreover, at this time, the Hidden Cloud Village had unilaterally announced that the Land of Lightning would remain hostile to the Land of Fire until it was proven beyond doubt that Naruto was not responsible for this incident.

This statement was like adding another layer of force to a taut string, making the atmosphere on the border instantly tense to the extreme.

The weapons of the Hidden Cloud Village are ready to go, and the Konoha Village has to prepare for the battle.

The relationship between the two sides is now like walking on the edge of a cliff. Any slight disturbance could trigger a devastating war.

Naruto and the others knew very well that there could not be the slightest mistake at this moment.

Every decision and every action they make may affect the fate of the entire continent.

However, the Hidden Cloud Village has entered a state of war and strictly restricted the entry and exit of people, which makes it impossible for Naruto and his friends to directly enter the Hidden Cloud Village to find out the truth.

At this critical moment, they cannot take a tough offensive so as not to intensify the contradictions and trigger a greater conflict.

In desperation, Naruto and his friends could only choose to retreat temporarily and return to Konoha Village.

On the way back, Naruto held his head, frowning, his heart full of distress and helplessness: "The current situation is really a mess."

Seeing this, Shikamaru patted Naruto's shoulder gently, trying to comfort him: "Now we can only return to Konoha and wait, and..."

His tone suddenly became serious: "The most important person now is you, Naruto."

Naruto nodded, but his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and self-blame.

He was fully aware of the weight of his responsibility, but faced with the current predicament, he felt helpless.

The tailed beasts were once his friends, but now they are facing the fate of being sealed, and he is powerless to do anything about it. This feeling makes him feel very painful.

At this moment, Hinata looked at Naruto's lost expression and her heart was filled with worry.

She wanted to comfort Naruto but couldn't find the right words.

Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded among them: "This crisis was not caused by people from this world."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert.

They looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound.

Even Naruto, who had extremely strong perception abilities, failed to notice the other party approaching immediately.

"Let your guard down. I am not your enemy."

At this time, a white-haired man wearing a loose white coat and with his eyes closed slowly walked out of the woods not far away.

His appearance surprised everyone, especially Shikamaru, who held a kunai and asked warily, "Who are you?"

The white-haired man replied calmly, "I am Otsutsuki Toneri."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the name.

The Otsutsuki are a clan of the legendary Six Paths Sage, and have long disappeared in the long river of history.

However, the person in front of them claimed to be Otsutsuki Toneri, which made them feel unbelievable.

Sheren seemed to have noticed their surprise, so he explained: "I am not a direct descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, but I do have a deep connection with him..."

However, before he could finish his words, Sasuke had already drawn his sword and cut Toneri in half with one strike.

But surprisingly, there was no blood flowing from Sheren's body. Instead, he fell straight to the ground, motionless.

Then, another servant came out from the side and said with a smile: "I am not your enemy."

Everyone then suddenly realized that what Sasuke had just cut off was just Toneri's puppet.

Sheren continued to explain, "Because I have something important to protect on the moon, I can't come in person, but I can assure you that I mean no harm."

To prove his sincerity, Toneri further revealed: "The mastermind behind this crisis is not someone from this world, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from another world."

Hearing this shocking news, everyone was stunned.

Sasuke couldn't help but ask: "How did you know this?"

Sheren smiled calmly and replied, "I just divined it when I was bored."

As everyone was in a tense standoff with Sheren, in Naruto's inner world, Naruto's (system space) voice rang softly: "Sheren..."

Naruto turned his head and asked curiously, "Do you know him?"

Naruto (System Space) nodded slightly: "Although he is a headache when he is crazy, he is usually a good person."

Looking back, in order to destroy the world created by the Sage of Six Paths, Sheren actually dared to drive the moon into it. His madness was astonishing.

Naruto frowned, "Why do you say that about him?"

Naruto (System Space) fell into deep thought: "Well... he does have his own ideas and pursuits, but his methods are a bit too extreme."

At this time, Shikamaru in the real world couldn't help but challenge Toneri: "Why did you help us?"

Toneri's answer stunned everyone: "Because my fiancée, Hyuga Hinata, is here."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Some were confused and uncertain, while others looked shy.

Sakura, in particular, immediately smelled a scent of gossip.

Hinata's cheeks blushed with embarrassment, and seeing this, Naruto immediately protected her behind him.

Sheren shook his head helplessly: "I am not making up stories, I just respect Hinata's choice."

Naruto pressed on: "Why Hinata?"

Sheren took a deep breath and said, "Because her chakra and mine come from the same source."

After that, he seemed to have something important to do, so he said to Hinata: "If you need anything, feel free to find me. I will do my best to help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheren's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other and talking among themselves.

Naruto looked at the direction where Toneri left and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

After Toneri left, Sasuke put away the Kusanagi sword and frowned, "That Otsutsuki, I always feel that his words cannot be fully trusted."

Shikamaru fell into deep thought: "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from another world he mentioned may be able to connect the clues we have."

Indeed, the fact that the other party can possess the same chakra as the Nine-Tails and can even completely transform into a tailed beast is most likely because they are also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, Sasuke was skeptical: "How could there be other worlds?"

At this time, Naruto had a disagreement with Sasuke: "I think it's possible."

After all, the Seventh Hokage from another world lives inside him, and his godfather is also from that world.

Shikamaru didn't want to get involved in the argument between the two, so he waved his hand: "Whether true or not, this is the only clue that can explain everything at the moment."

He stood up and said, "Let's return to Konoha and report the situation."

In this way, the three of them embarked on the journey back to Konoha with their own doubts and speculations.
