Naruto's Exam

In a distant fantasy world, on a continent called "Erina", there is a mysterious village surrounded by lush trees - Wind Whispering Forest Village. Shino said seriously: "This means that Sasuke from another world, in order to pursue the power of his brother Sas, left the Wind Whispering Forest Village and joined the dark wizard Orochimaru."

Jiraiya, the forest sage who had always been behind Naruto, couldn't help but sigh when he heard them mention his fellow disciple, his former best friend.

If asked about his deepest regret in life, he would say:

He failed to win Tsunade's heart;

There was no way to stop Orochimaru's descent into darkness;

He failed to save the soul of his apprentice, Minato Namikaze, in time.

A life full of regrets, however, seeing Naruto's growth, it seems that he has made up for some of the regrets.

"Leaving the village without permission and joining the enemy camp, especially Orochimaru who once betrayed the Wind Whispering Forest Village... This behavior is undoubtedly an act of treason." Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

As expected, the young Konoha ninja Ino looked extremely sad, Sakura's eyes were already filled with tears, and Sasuke was lost in deep thought. Naruto retorted to Jiraiya unconvinced: "Impossible! This is just your guess. The answers to the questions all show that Sasuke is still an apprentice ninja of the Wind Whispering Forest Village!"

"Don't be impatient, Naruto, I haven't finished yet." Jiraiya's words attracted everyone's attention, and they were all looking forward to what he would say next.

"Normally, such conditions would be enough for the leader of the Senju clan, the Hokage, to declare Uchiha Sasuke a traitor. But...!"

"But what?" everyone asked.

"If there is a trustworthy person who is willing to guarantee Uchiha Sasuke with his life, reputation, and credibility to ensure that he will not harm the Wind Whispering Forest Village and that his actions will not cause losses to the village, then we can temporarily postpone judging him as a traitor."

"Is there such a rule?" People were surprised.

"This person must have a very high status and prestige in the village, right? Could it be Master Kakashi?" Naruto thought to himself with respect in his eyes.

However, Kakashi smiled bitterly: "No, I..."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto. He was able to put forward such a point of view, which clearly showed that he had a deep understanding of the following:

"Naruto, it was you who made the Hokage hesitate to label Uchiha Sasuke as a traitor in the past few years. The only one who could do all this was you, the young man who sacrificed himself, inherited the blood of the Fourth Hokage, and protected the power of Konoha's seal."

Uchiha Sasuke stared at Naruto, and although his face was expressionless, his heart was surging. He knew very well that the person who guaranteed him with his life was not Kakashi, but the seemingly carefree golden boy - Uzumaki Naruto.

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, who had a deeper understanding of the political situation and worldly affairs, also understood this point.

The two crows also cast grateful glances at the lively blond boy.

[Mist Hidden Village Ninja Chojuro, Konohagakure Village Ninja Uzumaki Naruto, please accept this mysterious draw reward. 】

The familiar and cold mechanical voice sounded again.

The text in the image gradually faded away, and was replaced by a huge compass of destiny.

[Please ask the Hidden Mist Village Ninja Chojuro to take the first action. 】

The rules are as follows:

[Shouting "Stop" within 30 seconds will be considered as completing the selection. ]

[The maximum waiting time is thirty seconds. If you do not call a halt after this period, you will be deemed to have automatically waived the right to receive the reward. ]

"!!!"

Sakura exclaimed, "It's different from last time!"

Ino agreed, "That's right, wasn't there no time limit last time?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about," Kakashi explained lazily, "The previous scene hasn't finished playing yet. You can't make us wait for hours every time, right?"

[At this moment, the destiny compass of the Hidden Mist Village ninja Chojuro began to slowly turn. ]

Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke quickly opened their Samsara eyes and tried to peek at the reward content in the Destiny Compass. Then, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, who knew the truth, also opened their Samsara eyes wide and observed carefully.

In a distant space, Uchiha Obito, wearing a mask, quietly opened the mysterious Samsara Eye hidden behind the mask...

-

In a distant fantasy world, four adventurers named Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi are witnessing an astonishing scene. In this mysterious world, a magical item called "Phantom Crystal" has aroused their heated discussion.

"Hey, it seems that this crystal has the ability of endless shuriken, just like the legendary 'Phantom Shuriken Array'!"

"You mean I only need to carry a Phantom Crystal and can transform it into countless Shurikens as needed?!"

"Wouldn't that save us a lot of magical resources for making shurikens and reduce the burden of carrying equipment?!"

"Everyone, look! The crystal stone contract actually includes an agreement to summon a spirit beast! This is so unfair, why didn't I unlock this secret?!"

At this time, more than twenty seconds had passed. When everyone was speculating whether the guy from the Misty Forest Kingdom was going to give up the challenge, a surprising scene happened - the phantom crystal in the image seemed to be touched by an invisible force, and the scene inside it instantly stopped!

[3] The Phantom Crystal displays the "Steam Fury Power Experience Scroll", and the picture shows a distorted and deformed second-generation water element master.

[2] A photo of a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village appeared inside the crystal. However, it was said that he had died more than ten years ago while on a mission to retrieve the former Third-Tail Jinchuriki.

[One] The picture changed again. Before most people could see the details clearly, they saw the phantom crystal in the image disappear, and it was replaced by colorful talisman paper pieces floating all over the sky.

Then, a piece of news that shocked everyone emerged: [Confirmed resurrection: Kirigakure Village rebel ninja, demon Momochi Zabuza]

"Ah! Where is Shiro? What should we do with Shiro?!" Naruto cried out loudly. If only Zabuza could be resurrected, it would be too cruel!

"Naruto, be quiet, this is another village's business." Kakashi said calmly, "No matter what, Zabuza is still a traitor. Even if he is called back by the people of Kirigakure, he will only face endless imprisonment or even more severe punishment."

Hearing the name "Kijin Zabuza", Jiraiya felt curious: "Is he an acquaintance?" Namikaze Minato next to him also showed a hint of curiosity.

Kakashi took a deep breath and continued to stare at the image in front of him. He found that these rewards can be roughly divided into several categories: attribute promotion, unique magic weapon, secret technique experience ticket, permanent secret technique learning, healing elixir, summoning spirit beast contract and resurrection of the dead, etc.

Soon after, the image returned to the phantom crystal, and a mechanical voice sounded:

[Please ask the Hidden Leaf Village Ninja Uzumaki Naruto to draw the reward. 】

The rules are as follows:

【Just shout “Stop” within thirty seconds. 】

[The maximum time is 30 seconds. If you do not call a stop after the time limit, you will be deemed to have automatically given up the reward. ]

"Alright!" Naruto rubbed his hands, eager to try, "Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, I'm leaving it to you!"

"Hmm..." Kakashi's eyes revealed a dead fish-like laziness, "Naruto, time is limited. Which of these categories do you want most - attribute improvement, unique magic weapon, secret technique experience ticket, permanent secret technique learning, healing elixir, summoning spirit beast contract and resurrection of the dead?"

Even though it wasn't a battle scene, the resolute expression on Naruto's face made him look as if he was about to step onto a life-and-death battlefield. "Do I even need to ask? Of course, resurrecting the dead is the priority!"

"Naruto……"

"After all, no matter who leaves this world, there will always be some regrets that cannot be made up for, right?" Naruto responded, "Anyway, Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, it all depends on your guidance!"

"Huh, it's you after all." Sasuke smiled sarcastically, but there was more understanding in his eyes, "In fact, I thought of suggesting that you consider improving your wisdom or comprehension."

At this moment, the pattern in the Phantom Crystal began to rotate, and Naruto spat, calling Sasuke a fool, while the crows, the eye messengers who possessed the Rinnegan, all focused their attention on the contents of the image.

In the first few seconds, Naruto could still capture the various weapons and enviable secret techniques flying by. As the rotation speed increased, he could only wait nervously for Kakashi and Sasuke to give them instructions.

He could even hear his own heartbeat clearly. The thirty seconds at this moment seemed longer to him than the usual three minutes, or even ten minutes!

Suddenly, Sasuke yelled, "Naruto!"

Without hesitation, Naruto yelled at the image, "Stop!"

As a result, accompanied by a mysterious flash of light, the Phantom Crystal gave the final answer - [Confirmed resurrection - Nine-tailed Demon Fox Kurama! ]

At this moment, Naruto's face was filled with shock, and he turned his head dully to look at Uchiha Sasuke who had just called out his name...

Sasuke was equally dumbfounded, "Stupid waste, did I ask you to say 'stop'?!"

"I didn't ask you to stop, why did you call my name?!" Naruto retorted with a frown.

In the distant arcane continent, a mysterious power called "Xiaomeng" exists, and one of the options is a taboo - to revive the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Alpha. This made Naruto, who witnessed all this, look surprised: "How is it possible! How can a Jinchūriki survive when the tailed beast falls? You are always at the bottom, a fool!"

"Hey! Who are you calling a fool?!" Sasuke roared in response.

"Of course you are the last one in the rankings!"

"You want a fight, you bastard Sasuke!"

"Yes, that's exactly what I want!"

Sakura, who was standing by, opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief: "Just now I thought you two had an extraordinary chemistry! My feeling of being touched was instantly shattered!"

Kakashi sighed expressionlessly: "Has the spirit of teamwork been thrown out of the window..."

The two powerful Crow Clan members who were silent on the side - Crow-Feather Itachi and Crow-Eyed Shisui - were both speechless.

And deep in the arcane dimension, Uchiha Obito said to himself in shock: "Resurrection... Nine-Tails?!"

At this moment, Xiao Meng's power revealed a fact that shocked everyone - Naruto's lottery results showed that he could choose to resurrect the Nine-Tails!

Not only was Naruto confused by this, but the entire Arcane World's residents were stunned! Who on earth was behind this operation? ! !

At this moment, Kurama has turned into a golden fox full of doubts. The reason for this is that it used up all its chakra and vitality to help the seventh generation Hokage Uzumaki Naruto defeat the powerful Otsutsuki Isshiki, and finally disappeared from the world after activating the tailed beast form. However, in the blink of an eye, Kurama found himself back to the state at the beginning of the seal!

The dark golden cage of confinement still surrounds the area, and the seal left by the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze is still clearly visible. The most difficult part is...

[“Who are you?! Come out!”]

A thunderous roar exploded in Jiu Lama's ears, and the powerful airflow directly blew its fox ears into the shape of an airplane.

"Tsk," Jiu Lama complained, "I don't know what the current situation is. Anyway, you should move a little bit. It's too crowded here."

[“Why don’t you go out if you feel too crowded? This broken cage is so damp and small!”]

Kurama stretched out his slender fingers and scratched his ears, "Then why don't you just ask Naruto to remove the seal as soon as possible."

[“Humph! If it weren’t for this seal, I would have dealt with this brat long ago!”]

Jiu Lama laughed out loud, "If you have such an idea, then you may never be able to do it in your lifetime. As a former demon, I know this very well."

【"What did you say?!"】

In this world that looked like a dark golden underground sewer, cold winds blew over the wet walls and ankle-deep water, exuding a gloomy atmosphere. At the end of the deep tunnel, there was only one voice echoing, but it felt like two people arguing.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard, but due to the small space, the battle seemed particularly confined.

Walking through the tunnel, what comes into view is an enormous golden cage door. Rough roaring sounds can be heard from it, making people wonder what kind of ferocious monster is imprisoned inside!

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a fiery orange-red fox slammed into the cage door, but the sturdy metal cage did not move at all!

Then, another giant fox that looked exactly like the first one pounced on him, its sharp claws pointed directly at the first one's throat:

"Tsk tsk, to think I was so easily angered back then. But you are only half a body now, unlike the captain of the Nine-Tails who is the manager of the tailed beasts and recognized by the Sage of the Six Paths!"

"As the manager and the strongest tailed beast, am I not the captain of the tailed beasts?" Kurama said proudly, "After all, I am the only complete Nine-Tails recognized by the old man of the Six Paths!"

At this moment, from the deep spiritual perception of the arcane world, everyone heard the metallic voice announcing——[Resurrection confirmed——Tailed Beast Nine-Tails Alpha! 】

The scene just now has explained everything. Isn't Uzumaki Naruto the Jinchūriki of Konoha who possesses the power of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox? Once the Jinchūriki seals the tailed beast, they will coexist with it. If the tailed beast dies, the Jinchūriki will die; and vice versa. However, the tailed beast is a living being condensed by chakra. Even if it dies, it can wait for the chakra between heaven and earth to regenerate.

So how did Naruto survive and revive the Nine-Tails? When did the Nine-Tails fall, and why did the various forces in the ninja world not notice it? Were the intelligence agencies so negligent? And what does the title of Kurama really mean?

At this moment, if someone could see the inside of the cage that sealed Jiu Lama, they would be stunned by the scene before them!

Two nine-tailed foxes! In the huge dark golden cage, there were actually two lifelike nine-tailed foxes imprisoned!
