CHATBOT: Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight of Zeratul. Memories of their past encounters flooded back, reminding him of the battles they fought side by side. Excitement and nostalgia filled Naruto's heart, making it hard for him to contain his emotions. "Zeratul! It's really you!" Naruto exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face.
