Naruto's Exam

Against the bustling backdrop of the city, in the image, four legendary Hokage stood in front of Minato Namikaze and were sent to their respective locations by his teleportation technique.

The first Hokage still stood there calmly.

When the camera zoomed out, the audience was surprised to find that the positions where the four Hokage stood cleverly formed an invisible square area!

"so cool!"

"Minato-sama!"

“With just a few whooshes, he was able to move so far in an instant! And his well-thought-out strategy! It’s unparalleled! Even the Nidaime-sama…”

A loyal fan of Minato was about to continue praising him, but his companion quickly covered his mouth and blinked wildly, suggesting: Idiot! The Second Hokage is standing right next to you!!!

[The First Hokage: "Let's begin! Ninjutsu..."]

[The four Hokage shouted in unison: "Four-Red-Yang-Formation!!"]

Audiences around the world held their breath! The monster that had left tens of thousands of ninjas helpless!

Now, there are only four people——

At this moment, the leaders or representatives of the major villages who were rushing to Konoha snorted coldly, "All the glory has been taken away by the Hokage!"

In the picture, the Four Red Yang Formation formed by the four Hokage trapped the huge monster, the Ten-Tails, which was running wildly, in a red square barrier!

"As expected of the successive Hokage!"

"That monster must be at least a hundred meters tall, right?! Can this barrier really stop it?"

"Are you stupid? That's the Hokage! They definitely can!"

Uzumaki Mito, standing next to the man, said: "I don't know about the Fourth Hokage, but Hashirama, Tobirama and that little guy are very powerful!"

Little...little guy or something...

Suddenly, a strange eye shadow appeared on the face of Hashirama Senju in the picture, like the patterns on the statues of gods in mythology, adding a bit of majesty to the God of Ninja!

[“Immortal Art: Mingshenmen!!!”]

Sasuke was stunned. Immortal Technique?! Is this the Immortal Technique of Hashirama Senju?

Then, the whole world saw what the "Ming Shen Men" was!

The huge red torii descended from a thousand meters in the sky, accurately nailing the monster's ten tails to the ground with a loud "bang! bang bang!"!

"so amazing!!!"

The citizens in front of the screen were shocked by this scene! How big and heavy must this torii be to nail such a monster there and make it unable to move?

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Is that red thing a barrier? Can it really seal off that kind of monster?!"

It looks like just a thin transparent barrier. How could it possibly compare to the huge rock wall that the Ninja Alliance had just used?

"Hmph! How can those elementary earth escape techniques be compared with the Four Red Yang Formations of the four Hokage." The speaker was a Konoha ninja who was on a mission.

"A barrier like this can only be cast by four ninjas above the level of Kage!" Being able to witness it with one's own eyes, even if it is through a video, is a rare eye-opener!

"The guardian deity of the ninja..."

Someone murmured the title of the First Hokage.

No matter how the Ten-Tails struggles!

The "Mingshen Gate" that nailed it firmly made it impossible for it to escape!

Just then, everyone noticed that reinforcements had arrived!

"Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura immediately shouted excitedly when she saw the person coming!

She knew that Sasuke-kun would not abandon the friendship of Team 7!

Didn’t we also say that horrible question and answer?!

Sasuke-kun will always be Konoha's Genin!

["You're late, Sasuke!!"]

The Naruto in the image seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time...

This was something that Sasuke, who was watching, couldn't help but mind.

"You... the last one..."

In the images, there are very few people who trust Sasuke as much as Naruto does.

Even his former fellow Konoha Genin became wary and attacking when they saw Sasuke!

Kiba pointed at Sasuke and scolded: "You guy! What on earth do you want to do?!"

Even the future Haruno Sakura, after all the pain she had gone through, just said calmly: "Why is Sasuke-kun here?"

[“A lot of things have happened, and now I have decided to protect Konoha, and…”]

"and?"

At some point, the unconscious Naruto had regained consciousness and was looking at the image with an expressionless face, looking completely different from his usual self.

Just like...the sunlight is blocked by thick dark clouds.

"Naruto." "Naruto-kun..."

After Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata also noticed Naruto's abnormality.

But no one knew what to say to Naruto at this moment, so they all chose to remain silent.

at this time--

[Uchiha Sasuke in the video said: "And, I want to be the Hokage!"]

[“Ahh?!!!!”]

[“Ahh?!! ~v!”]

Inside and outside the image, there were sounds of surprise.

Shino frowned and said: "Sasuke, do you think your mistakes can be easily erased?" Things in the past will never change for any reason.

Shikamaru also insisted: "No matter what happened later, this kind of thing can't happen! Does he know what he is saying?"

Kiba shouted angrily, "A fugitive for many years! What a joke! He suddenly came back?! Does he understand the meaning of Hokage, bastard!!"

Ino slapped him on the head, "Fool! Didn't the 'Horror Quiz' already say it! Sasuke-kun is not a fugitive at all!!"

Sakura defended Sasuke: "Yes, that's right! Sasuke-kun has always been the most outstanding Genin in our Konoha Village!!"

Kakashi looked helpless: "Hey, Sakura, I hope Sasuke can be more than just a Genin..."

Sasuke looked at himself on the screen. He didn't pay attention to the other ending. Instead, his eyes fell on the former loser who dreamed of becoming Hokage.

Sasuke was shocked to see Naruto's expressionless face.

Naruto...has he given up his dream of becoming Hokage?

Was his expectation of becoming "Hokage" dashed?

【"Naruto..." Minato, in ghost form, looked at his son with concern like an old father. 】

[“I don’t care what others think. It was the past Hokage who caused the current situation, so I want to become the Hokage and change the village.”]

Sasuke's words sounded so weak on the screen, but Naruto obviously didn't agree.

He remembered his brother Itachi's instructions:

"Naruto, I'll leave Sasuke in your care."

And the truth Itachi taught him:

"It's not that you have to become a Hokage to be recognized, but you have to be recognized to become a Hokage!!"

...

Naruto was silent while watching the movie:

"It's not that you have to become a Hokage to be recognized...it's that you have to be recognized to become a Hokage..."

[“That’s right! Naruto!!” the Fourth Hokage came to Naruto and said. ]

[“As a father, I don’t know how to ask for your forgiveness, but at least...”]

[“But at least, I hope you can stick to your dream. Even if your goal is not to become Hokage, please believe in your companions!”]

The Fourth Hokage knew that Naruto couldn't hear, but he still tried his best to convey his will to his son!

On the screen, 12-year-old Naruto lowered his head and thought about Uchiha Itachi's words.

The 16-year-old Uzumaki Naruto responded on the screen, walked towards Sasuke, and announced with a sunny look:

["Of course I'm the one who's going to be the Hokage!!"]

Hearing the declaration on the screen, the 12-year-old Naruto raised his head and repeated dully: "Hokage...huh...?"

[“Tsk!” The nine-tailed fox gnashed its teeth in dissatisfaction inside Naruto’s body: “The order is disrupted! I didn’t expect it to have such a big impact on him!”]

[Yang Jiuwei: "What do you mean?!"]

[“The place I’m at is the direction of the plot development,” Kyuubi explained: “Before the video being played now, Naruto had already met Minato and Kushina!”]

"!!!"

Yang Jiuwei was surprised:

【“Aren’t they all dead?!”】

[“It’s a long story. Minato had planned it all those years ago. He wanted to seal his and Kushina’s chakras together in Naruto’s body.”]

[“Hmph! Cunning human!!”]

...

Back to reality, it was already late at night, and audiences from all over the world were still reluctant to leave the viewing area.

On the screen, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, the two core forces of the ninja world, are preparing to join forces to fight against the Ten-Tails.

Haruno Sakura, also a member of Team 7, is not to be outdone!

[“Don’t look down on me just because I’m a woman!”]

Standing next to Sasuke and Naruto, she is not only as good as men, but also extremely handsome...

The audience was shocked by the aura of these three young people.

However, just as Naruto was about to take action,

[The First Hokage: "Wait."]

The monster called "Ten-Tails" actually condensed a crimson energy ball again, trying to break through the barrier!

This time, the energy ball formed at an astonishingly fast rate.

It reached the previous scale in just a dozen seconds!

"What should we do?!" The ninja watching asked anxiously, "Can the Fourth Hokage transfer it again?!!"

No one responded, and everyone was nervously waiting for the next plot development!

Minato warned the other Hokage on the screen: "The Ten-Tails is trying to destroy the barrier! Hokage, please pay attention!!"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth and said, "Understood!!"

The second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama was full of confidence: "Humph! Come on..."

Chapter 1: Urban Peak Showdown

The founder of the Hokage Group, Senju Hashirama, stared at the roaring monster on the screen with sharp eyes: "..."

……

"My God..."

"It's even bigger than our shield!"

"Look! It's shooting out energy balls!!"

At this moment, the global audience outside the screen were all extremely anxious, fearing that the future three years later would really be the end of the world.

When the energy ball hit the light red protective shield hard, the light of the explosion instantly illuminated the screen. At that moment, the light filled the entire world.

The whole place was silent, and people's breathing seemed to have stopped.

After more than ten seconds of white light, the camera zoomed out and people could see the situation clearly.

The dark red energy ball exploded within the Four Symbols Sealing Array. The expanding force distorted the shape of the Four Symbols Sealing Array, but the array did not break. Like a tamed wild beast, the four walls of the array forcibly squeezed the energy back, forcing the energy to gush out upward!

In a farther perspective.

A few kilometers away from the Four Symbols Sealing Array, a pillar of energy that reached the sky was forcibly pushed into the sky like lava from a volcanic eruption, and then -

"Bam—!!"

Explodes out amazing energy at an altitude close to space!

Leaders from all walks of life who watched the film, including those from other cities, were so shocked by this scene that they were speechless.

Only the ninja coalition on the screen had gone through many days of fierce fighting and had long been numb to fear and shock. At this moment, they were amazed at the power of the Four Symbols Sealing Array.

"Even the Ten-Tails' ultimate move can't break the protective shield! The Four Symbols Sealing Formation is indeed a ninjutsu that requires four Kage-level strongmen to work together!"

"Where's the Ten-Tails?!"

A sentence on the screen awakened the crowd that was immersed in it.

That's right!

With such a fierce attack, the monster was trapped in the protective shield. Doesn't that mean it took all the impact? !

"The modern Hokage is so powerful?!!"

The ninjas of Konoha exclaimed, winning great honor for the village! From then on, they could stand up straight when facing ninjas from other villages on missions!

Naruto stared at the screen with wide eyes, muttering to himself: "This is... the Fourth Hokage..."

Minato Namikaze on the side curled his lips: "You should call dad, Naruto."

Fortunately, no one heard the faint complaint, otherwise tomorrow's headline might be "The Fourth Hokage dotes on his son."

“Wood Style·Wooden Clone!!” “Senjutsu·Mingshenmen·Head Seal!!!”

Accompanied by the roar of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Four Symbols Sealing Formation opened small doors at multiple locations for the Allied Ninja Forces to enter.

That head-sealing technique nailed the Ten-Tails' head to the ground, preventing it from condensing the giant dark red energy ball it had previously!

The two armies were in high spirits, and as the First Hokage's clone charged in, they all broke into the protective shield!

The Ten-Tails completely lost its ability to move.

In order to prevent the ninja alliance from contacting its true body, its wooden body differentiated into countless small clones.

……

It was the climax of this fierce confrontation.

The pink-haired girl Haruno Sakura stood beside Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, two Konoha Genin who had been pushed to the top of the ninja world by many images. Looking at the backs of the two charging, she regretted that she only knew how to cry and rely on them, so she always followed behind them!

This hatred towards herself made Haruno Sakura continue to grow in the future.

A diamond-shaped mark appeared on her forehead!

"Yin Seal!!"

The Third Hokage recognized the mark immediately and was pleased with the growth of these children. Uzumaki Mito saw the same seal on her forehead and thought of her lawless granddaughter, and couldn't help but smile a little.

The 12-year-old Genin Sakura realized in Haruno Sakura's memories that she had always disliked Naruto, but she relied on him and dragged him down again and again in the Land of Waves and at important moments in the future, and she felt guilty...

She clenched her fists secretly.

It's still Haruno Sakura, and she's also a member of Team 7.

she!

I will never let such regret happen again!!

"Now, I have accumulated enough strength!!"

The moment Haruno Sakura on the screen revealed her Yin Seal, she was no longer the weak girl who could only cry!

When audiences around the world saw this, Sakura Haruno suddenly became more motivated and she smashed the Ten-Tails' clone with her clenched fists mercilessly!

then--

The clone flew past Naruto...

Flying past Sasuke's eyes...

As if in slow motion, the two young men who had always been rushing in the front had shock in their eyes.

The Ten-Tails clone did not stop its movement and flew dozens of meters away while being beaten!

"Go to hell!!!"
