Shikaku Nara: And that wraps up the battle reports from each field.
|
|
Hm...
|
|
We took some major damage, but let's just rejoice that he didn't take over our world.
|
|
Yeah, and also that Naruto and Killer Bee got out of this alive.
|
|
Never in a million years did I expect the real Madara to show his face here.
|
|
He held his own against all five of us... That's a dangerous opponent.
|
|
And then there's also the fake one with the mask...
|
|
Something tells me we'll be fighting them both again one day. The Ninja Alliance must stay alert at all times.
|
|
Let's hold another strategy conference on the coming decisive battle.
|
|
And we'll need to reform the educational system of each village to produce ninja with adaptable fighting skills.
|
|
Yeah. Now that we've come this far, we've got nothing to hide from each other.
|
|
......
|
|
Nothing to hide from each other... Hmmm...
|
|
What is it, Lord Raikage?
|
|
To tell you the truth, when we formed this alliance, I never thought our relationship would hold up like this.
|
|
I thought each village was in this for their own interests, to see how much they could profit from the war.
|
|
I honestly thought that, once the war was over, we'd all go back to how we were before.
|
|
But reality has proven me wrong.
|
|
We're trying to bring the world together as one, in the truest sense.
|
|
I'm starting to think there really is a little hope for a new era.
|
|
Hmph...
|
|
Well, to usher in that new era, it all depends on how we carry ourselves from here on out.
|
|
First we need to beat Madara. Everything else comes after that.
|
|
I hear ya.
|
|
Which raises the question, how do we handle Killer Bee and Naruto, considering how crucial they are?
|
|
That reminds me, Lady Hokage. How's he doing...?
|
|
Still sawing logs.
|
|
Normally the Nine Tails would speed up his recovery, but this time it seems even he was worn to a frazzle.
|
|
Look at him, out like a light.
|
|
Maybe we--
|
|
Don't worry, he's fine. He'll wake up soon.
