The last series (4)

Forget the journalists, even the guests who had been invited by Kevin stood dumbfounded after seeing the people who had just stepped on the carpet. And even if the 5 weird looking men and a woman didn't surprise the people around, then the people who had arrived with them.

Unlike the previous 5 people who had their head and face covered, the 'bodyguards' who had arrived with the 5 people weren't covering their faces. Their inclusion was what made the people who were wildly speculating in their minds, received their affirmation.

The 5 people were the famous 5 kages of the shinobi world. The world where the famous ninjas exist. During the war against Thanos many had seen them but there was always a debate among the people about their existence. As Earth now was connected to the universe many had tried searching for the existence, but they had failed.

But here they were, with all power and grandeur. Even the normal people could say these were the actual deal. The journalists and the people finally understood what Kevin meant when he said the guests who would arrive would blow their minds.

And John too just said that he had invited many of his friends. So this was what it meant that he said that he had invited 'friends'. John had gotten his share of fortune by making movies, series and anime. Of course, he had his hands on other businesses, but the main theme was always the entertainment industry.

And many of his stories were supposedly based on real people. Now one of the anime had come to life, they wondered who else would arrive. There were many anime that John had produced over the years.

The journalists who had their mouths wide open for a few seconds after seeing the entry of the Kages, left John in a jiffy and ran to interview the Kages. Emma laughed seeing the craze of the journalists.

And if that was not enough, the fans who had come to the premiere to support were going crazy seeing the Kages. Even the guests who had arrived were flocking around the Kages to get an autograph or a picture with them.

John who was seeing all of this just smiled. He had expected such a reaction from the people around. He had hidden their existence for a very long time. It was time to bring the big guns out. He would need a massive amount of fan values to boost the powers of his summons and this can only be done via anime.

The last series was his masterpiece for sure but in the end they didn't contribute anything to his fan values. The anime was his real power. And this premiere would be his main show.

"Sir Naruto Uzumaki, it is known that you have half of the Kurama inside you. But what happened to the other half, has it accumulated?" One journalist asked.

"Ahh.. Yess... With the help of my friend John, I was able to get the full chakra of Kurama. Now he is sleeping inside me. Do you want to talk with him?" Naruto said with a smile. His words made the journalist shiver.

Talking with Kurama. A being that was made to dominate everything. But again during the end of the anime, he had become quite cute and mellow. He, as a journalist can't miss such a huge chance,

"Yes Sir, I would love to have an interview with Kurama." Kurama replaced the consciousness of Naruto and for the first time Kurama was a little excited to give the interview. For the first time he had seen people that were not afraid of him and wanted to talk with him actively.

The other journalists were talking with the other Kages and like him each and everyone was excited. They were clicking pictures and even signed some kids who had come to cosplay in the premiere. Though none of them came with the cosplay of the anime, the shinobis signed these cosplayers happily.

And it was not the end, after a few minutes of the emergence of the shinobi. A number of cars arrived near the red carpet. Each of the cars were white in color and the car who was on lead was a big one. Slowly the doors of the car opened and from each car, one person stepped out.

The first to step out was an old man who had a cane in hand. He had a white long beard and even long white eyebrows. He seemed like he would fall down any second. This person was also known to many.

Yamamoto Genryusai.

And following him the other Captains too had stepped out. There was another uproar among the crowd when the famous Captains had arrived. First it was the kages and now the Captains.
