I was on the brink of just ending it all, but my friend came and talked me down.

I have talked someone down from suicide.

I really just need someone to talk me down.

Talk no Jutsu

The most OP jutsu in all of Naruto created by the 7th Hokage Naruto Uzumaki. This jutsu doesn't require any hand signs at all, just some depressing ass background music and a sob story that can relate to the opponents. What makes it even deadlier is that there is no counter for it and it doesn't even use up any of the user's chakra. Naruto has most notably defeated opponents such as Gaara, Nagato Uzumaki, and Obito Uchiha with this OP jutsu.
