Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

what's the situation?

What does this choice mean?

"Could it be that the dream is about to play a segment about the chosen person?"

She frowned and muttered to herself.

Aside from that, she couldn't think of what it meant for these two completely unrelated names to appear at the same time.

“If that’s really the case…” Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard, pondered, and shook his head, “There’s no need to make it like this, forcing us to choose, is there?”

“Perhaps we’ll have to choose one of them, and then…” Hiruzen Sarutobi speculated, his gaze returning to the screen, “and then the chosen person will appear here directly? After all, this place is part of the dream.”

His guess made Tsunade's heart skip a beat.

If it really appears right here...!

Tsunade's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her chest pounded like thunder.

Kabuto Yakushi overheard this conversation.

He barely managed to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and forced himself to think calmly about the current situation.

If Dean Nono is chosen, will she appear before me?

Thinking of this, his originally cold blood suddenly became hot.

However, before Kabuto could figure out a solution, Tsunade could no longer contain her longing.

Without much hesitation, she took a step forward and shouted her choice: "I choose Rope Tree!"

Tsunade's powerful voice echoed in the empty stands, filled with urgency, excitement, and hope...

She was terrified that if she was even a second too late, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

The voice just fell.

She realized that her actions were somewhat abrupt, that she, as the Hokage, had lost her composure, but when she thought of the hope that her brother might be able to return, Tsunade could no longer care about anything else.

Upon hearing the sound, Kabuto suddenly snapped back to reality, his expression changing drastically: "Oh no!"

He gasped, inwardly realizing something was wrong.

slow!

Kabuto was sweating profusely with anxiety, staring intently at the screen, trying to see if there was any way to salvage the situation.

Just as Tsunade finished speaking, the strange characters on the screen flickered slightly.

A small avatar suddenly appeared next to the "Thousand Hands Rope Tree" option.

It's Tsunade in cartoon form!

Clearly, her dream had recorded her choice.

"One person, one vote?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, then paused for a moment before realizing what he meant.

Tsunade looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally couldn't stand idly by.

Without further hesitation, he also spoke up: "I also choose the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree."

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, another avatar appeared after "Nawaki" on the screen.

This scene invigorated Tsunade.

"Great!"

Two votes!

Regardless of which choice Kimimaro or Yakushi Kabuto makes, Nawaki will at least be evenly matched, and may even win!

She gazed intently at the remaining two.

Kimimaro was slightly taken aback by the stares from Tsunade and the Third Hokage.

He actually had no idea about the two names on the screen; he didn't recognize either of them.

Whether it's Senju Nawaki or Yakushi Nono, they are just unfamiliar names.

In his confusion, he noticed that Kabuto's expression was extremely complicated, especially when he looked at the "Yakushi Nonou" option. A look of excitement and pain appeared in Kabuto's usually calm eyes.

"Yakushi Nonou... shares the same surname as Yakushi Kabuto."

Kimimaro thought to himself that he could more or less guess that it was probably an important person to Kabuto.

Recalling Kabuto's almost out-of-control reaction when he saw the name, he made a decision.

"I choose Yakushi Nonou."

Although the dream mechanism puzzled him, he was willing to support it since it concerned Kabuto's wish.

At this moment, however, Kabuto Yakushi was acting out of character, standing motionless in place.

After Tsunade chose Nawaki, he was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.

Upon hearing that Kimimaro had chosen Nonou, his back tensed up abruptly.

The opportunity... is not completely gone!

The word "wild" practically rolled out of Yakushi Kabuto's throat.

However, that last shred of reason held him back.

The fear in his heart, like an invisible cage, firmly locked his voice—

No!

How should he face Dean Nono...?

Just thinking about what's going to happen next...

Kabuto's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat trickled down his temples, and his body trembled slightly. In the end, he couldn't utter a single word.

She... doesn't recognize me anymore.

Kabuto's heart is bleeding. Nono was deceived by Danzo back then and never recognized himself until her death.

And aren't I the culprit myself?

Even if the dream brings her back, so what?

Is it better to see her stare blankly at you, as if you're a stranger, or to face her disgust and disappointment after she learns the truth?

Kabuto felt he didn't have the courage to accept any outcome.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Tsunade stared nervously at Kabuto Yakushi: "Hey, are you going to choose or not?!"

She didn't know why Kabuto Yakushi had such a pained expression, assuming he was hesitating about who to choose.

But the longer she delayed, the more uncertain she felt.

When Kabuto heard the call, it was as if he had been jolted awake from a nightmare.

He suddenly shuddered, his hands hanging at his sides clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

After a few seconds of internal struggle, the light in Dou's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head slightly as if deflated.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to clear his mind of the countless agonizing thoughts.

“...I choose the Thousand Hands Rope Tree.”

A simple sentence, yet it seemed to have exhausted all of Yakushi Kabuto's strength.

After he finished speaking, his shoulders slumped slightly, and he stood there exhausted, his gaze unfocused.

"What?" Tsunade was stunned, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened as well.

I just thought Kabuto was leaning towards Nonou, but at the last minute he actually... switched his mind and chose Nawaki?

Kimimaro was even more astonished and puzzled: "Kabuto..."

He frowned and looked at Kabuto, only to find that the other man's expression was blank, and he couldn't believe why he had given up the option that he originally seemed to care about very much.

However, Kabuto Yakushi no longer wanted to explain, and simply lowered his head, remaining silent.

As Kabuto Yakushi made his choice, several dazzling fireworks burst onto the screen, exploding in the dark theater and illuminating the surroundings with a play of light and shadow.

Immediately afterwards, the text in the center of the large screen began to change and recombine rapidly.

"Voting results: Senju Nawaki!"

The large, golden lettering was fixed in the center of the screen, shining brightly.

A cute, cartoon-style smiley face was thoughtfully drawn next to it, as if to congratulate all the viewers.

"Dear viewers, please look forward to it!"

A message appeared on the screen, and then the entire screen suddenly went black with a "whoosh".

"Eh?!"

Tsunade paused for a moment, then quickly took two steps forward, almost bumping into the screen.

However, all that remained was darkness, and nothing could be seen.

"Is it...over?"

Tsunade stood there, stunned, feeling utterly lost and disoriented by the huge disappointment she had experienced.

She had been eagerly awaiting the appearance of Rope Tree, but after the voting ended, only a few inexplicable prompts remained, and the dream abruptly ended.

The entire audience area was plunged into complete darkness, as if even the last glimmer of light had been taken away.

Tsunade's heart sank, and in her anxiety, she shouted, "Hey! Wait! What does 'stay tuned' mean?! Where's Nawaki—"

Her voice echoed in the boundless darkness, receiving no reply.

Before I knew it, the surroundings had become completely silent, and the other figures in the dream seemed to have vanished.

Tsunade felt a blur before her eyes, and then the world suddenly spun around her!
