The 'We Can End This Now, It's Not Too Late' meme originates from the Naruto: Shippuden series, specifically highlighting Naruto Uzumaki's signature diplomatic approach, often dubbed 'Talk-no-Jutsu' by the fan community. In these scenes, Naruto attempts to redeem major antagonists—most notably Obito Uchiha or Nagato—by appealing to their lost humanity and offering a path to peace. On the internet, the template has evolved into a humorous way to depict dramatic interventions. It is commonly used when someone is about to make a terrible mistake, like sending a risky text, making a bad purchase, or staying up too late, with Naruto representing the 'voice of reason' trying to prevent the inevitable disaster.
