Naruto's Exam

In the bustling city, Iwagakure has not experienced strange events of the resurrection of the dead like Konoha or Sand Village. A well-informed man looked at those figures that obviously did not belong to this era and asked: "Why don't these bodies rot?"

Tobirama, a well-known elite, explained: "They are probably not the original bodies of the deceased, but more like the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, used to reshape the bodies of the dead and bring them back to life."

The Tsuchikage nodded, inwardly marveling at the endless possibilities of such an extraordinary power.

In the first coffin was a Konoha ninja from the past, known to few.

The second one is a retired ninja who is enjoying his old age in peace.

The third one, although not dying of old age, was also a happy one.

The fourth...

The fifth...

Until the ninth coffin, no powerful ninja who could be considered as a candidate for resurrection had appeared.

Kakashi smiled bitterly: "It seems that my luck is really not that good."

If Naruto is lucky, maybe he can have the chance to revive Rin, Obito, Sister Kushina or Sensei Minato.

Naruto encouraged, "Teacher Kakashi, don't give up!"

Sakura agreed, "Yes, these people don't have many regrets, but it's a good thing that they can strengthen Konoha."

However, the straightforward Sasuke poured cold water on him mercilessly: "I don't think there are many outstanding people among these nine people."

Naruto, Sakura: "..."

Kakashi's luck was so bad that even Asuma couldn't help but tease him: "Let Naruto answer the questions next time."

Kakashi: "..."

Disappointment was certain. He was looking forward to this reward more than the super-powerful ninjutsu experience ticket that could destroy Konoha.

"Alas... I was born with-" Bad luck.

Before he could finish his words, Kakashi froze.

The tenth coffin slowly opened, and a face and attire that was both familiar and unfamiliar came into his sight.

Of course, it also caught the eyes of other people.

They saw the one that appeared in the video not long ago——

After Kakashi's death, he met Konoha White Fang on the way to paradise.

Everyone was stunned!

Might Guy came back to his senses first, tears welling up in his eyes: "Great! Kakashi! This is youth! Naruto-kun is right, don't give up on youth, because you never know what better things are waiting for you!"

Akashi, who died at the hands of Hatake Sakumo, felt mixed emotions: "..." He suddenly realized that he had become a joke, and felt very bad.

"What exactly is your Konoha's luck?"

Tobirama glanced at the younger generation of the Sand Ninja and replied lightly: "It can't be helped. Maybe there is a lucky person in our village."

Mei Terumi sighed: "It's only been a month, and you Konoha have occupied most of the viewing content, and the rewards are also very generous."

"That's right," Killer Bee: "Eighty percent of them are images of Naruto, the idiot."

Zabuza still coveted the 600 billion treasure talismans: "What a pity that pile of treasure talismans..."

Uzumaki Naruto, who was blessed by good luck, was happy for Teacher Kakashi: "That's great, Teacher Kakashi! I told you to persevere to the end!" In his excitement, his habit of speaking came out again.

From childhood to adulthood, Kakashi's fate is like a lonely star, and he has long recognized this fact.

Whether it's my father, Rin, Obito, or Minato...

Every time, he was the one who stayed behind.

Only he survived.

At this moment, he hesitated instead. Was it really right to resurrect his father?

After all, my father committed suicide amid the criticism of the whole village.

And if...

If he used the "Big Spiral Chariot" to die together with the masked man, then wouldn't his father who was left alone suffer the pain of loneliness like himself before?

"What are you hesitating about! Teacher Kakashi!" Naruto yelled, "Resurrect Konoha White Fang! Isn't he your father?!" Even if Naruto didn't regret his choice, he could understand the pain of missing such an opportunity. He didn't want Teacher Kakashi to experience the same bitterness.

"Naruto?" Kakashi looked at his student.

"Both Kakashi-sensei and Konoha White Fang have regrets, don't they?! What are you so hung up on?"

"Regret..." Kakashi chewed on the word. Yes, he still had too many regrets. The horror quiz might be an opportunity to change his regrets.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "That's right, Kakashi. Sakumo's death was due to the times. It was a time of war, and some key missions might have affected the survival of the Land of Fire."

"On the other hand, it is a problem for the village and even the entire ninja world," he continued: "Faced with the choice of saving his companions or completing the mission, Sakumo did what he thought was right and believed in it..."

"I think Sakumo never regretted his choice until the end. He silently fought against the rules of the entire ninja world in his own way!"

"Kakashi, your father is a hero."

"..."

There was silence, and the Kage from other countries also agreed with this statement.

What people say may be scary, but a hero like White Fang will never die from pressure!

This statement is too ridiculous! It's a joke!

White Fang of Konoha, he challenged the entire system of the ninja world with his death!

He is... a hero...

The ripples in Uchiha Obito's heart made him unable to help but grab his chest, and the pain from the talisman there intensified.

"!!!!!!"

After Kakashi was shocked, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his words under the mask were firm:

"I choose... Hatake Sakumo, please revive him."

[Confirmed resurrection - Hatake Sakumo]

"Oh!"

The white smoke dissipated, and the first nine coffins disappeared into thin air.

The only coffin left was the tenth one chosen by Kakashi - Hatake Sakumo's coffin.

Emerald green light surrounded the surroundings, and an even larger chakra carrying vitality descended from the sky and poured into the coffin like a flood!

Visible to the naked eye!

The dead wood in the coffin revived, took root, sprouted, and grew branches and leaves!

In just tens of seconds, it turned into a wooden shrine!

On both sides of the original coffin, there grew a wooden Inugami statue facing each other. From a distance, it looked like an Inugami shrine!

Itachi: "This is similar to what happened when Mito-sama was resurrected!"

Shisui: "According to the villagers who resurrected me..."

"Ok?"

Shisui gave a mischievous smile, "My coffin became a Crow Tengu Shrine."

Itachi: "......"

"However, the chakra required to revive the Second Hokage and Deidara was enormous." Sasuke revealed, "Especially during the Second Hokage's time, the sky seemed to be covered by huge trees, and the ninja school and its surroundings were blocked by dense forests..."

Several Uchiha clan members fell into deep thought. They had too little information about this horrific incident.

……

Over there, Hatake Sakumo opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him with some confusion.

Looking around for a moment, he said to himself: "Is this... Konoha Ninja School?" Back then, whenever he had no missions, he would always come to pick up his son Kakashi Hatake from school, so he was very familiar with this place.

"dad……"

"Hmm?" Shumao looked at the man who called him "Dad" and was shocked...

The great hero of Konoha, known as the "White Fang of Konoha", had made great military achievements and his reputation far surpassed the "Three Ninjas"...but at this moment, he was stunned!

"Um...this person, are you...Kakashi?" Sakumo asked hesitantly behind the mask, after a moment of reaction.

"...Yes, Dad." Kakashi suppressed his inner excitement and answered.

"It should be many years later now, right?" Looking at Kakashi's covered left eye, Sakumo realized that a lot must have happened to Kakashi after his death.

"It's Konoha's 60th anniversary now, and I'm already 26 years old..." Kakashi said.

Kai silently blessed his lifelong rival in his heart. He could hear the sob in Kakashi's trembling voice under his calm appearance.

Hatake Sakumo nodded and looked around at the thousands of Konoha ninjas and civilians gathered here, and even ninjas from other major ninja villages. When he saw Akashi from the Sand Village, he was stunned for a moment and still couldn't understand this strange scene.

"Kakashi, can you tell me what's going on? Also, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Kakashi lowered his head slightly, then pulled up his forehead protector, revealing the severe scar and the bright red Sharingan.

"It looks like you've been through a lot..."

In Sakumo's memory, Kakashi was still the six-year-old boy. In the blink of an eye, he had been dead for twenty years. For him, death and resurrection were just a blink of an eye.

The well-behaved little Kakashi who never worried his parents is now twenty-six years old, wearing a Jonin uniform and having Uchiha eyes.

Sakumo silently looked at his son twenty years later.

The child's eyes lost their innocence and vision for the future, replaced by tenderness and exhaustion that could not be concealed...

"I'm sorry, Kakashi." Hatake Sakumo said, "My choice back then still implicated you."

I think of another future self in the image, and his encounter with his father after his death.

Kakashi shook his head, "No, Dad..."

He said: "I can now understand your choice at that time. Breaking the rules of ninja for an important partner."

“Now I am proud of you!”

Sakumo didn't understand, but was deeply touched by Kakashi's words. He smiled and said, "You are really like your mother, a gentle and tough child."

"Thank you, Kakashi." Then he stopped Kakashi who wanted to speak and came to the Third Hokage.

"Konoha Jounin Hatake Sakumo, report back!"

Then, he looked at the young man next to the Third Hokage...

"!!!" The experienced Konoha White Fang was also surprised: "Second generation Hokage?"

He really couldn't understand why the former Hokage appeared here, and so young?

"Did you bring him back to life?" asked Sakumo.

Senju Tobirama put his hands on his hips and denied: "It was not me who resurrected you. Both you and I were resurrected by an inexplicable question."

"Q&A?" Sakumo, who grew up in the war years, believes that he needs to collect intelligence quickly in order to make the best decision!

“What is the other party’s purpose?”

"Purpose? Probably to let us see images of the future." Tobirama said, "At present, it seems that there is nothing else to do except to be careful about the rules of the question and answer."

Sakumo doesn't understand what the so-called future images are yet, but he will know soon.

Because Pein couldn't wait to know why Uchiha Madara wanted to kill Xiaonan! Isn't their goal world peace? !

So...why? ! !

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of Konoha White Fang's resurrection, other ninja villages were secretly jealous of Konoha's increased strength...

Pein growled, "The guy behind the Q&A, have you forgotten something? Where is the video I want to see?" He pulled out his chakra stick and pointed it at Uchiha Madara: "What is your purpose?!"

"learn."

As the metallic voice sounded, the masked man said, "Didn't I say it? For world peace."

"To create a world without war, without pain, and without regrets!!!"

A world without regrets...?

As soon as he said this, he felt as if he had almost grasped something, but missed it.

Kakashi frowned slightly.

A world without regrets?

Looking at the newly resurrected Konoha White Fang...

If their world continues to develop in this way, can it be said that there are no regrets?

As long as the teacher, Kushina-sister, Lin, and all the people who made you feel sorry for them are resurrected...

That would be a world without regrets, right?

He looked at the masked man in the distance and asked in his heart:

How is the world you want to create different from this world?

Kakashi looked at the sky which was suddenly covered by dark clouds and was confused.

……

The sky was covered with dark clouds and drizzle fell.

Upon learning that this video had nothing to do with them, and was not even Konoha's business, many civilians left, leaving only the ninjas without missions to gather intelligence, waiting to see how Akatsuki would resolve internal conflicts.

They each showed their special abilities and used their own ninjutsu to create a space to shelter from the rain.

Gaara had a blank expression on his face, he just crossed his hands and lightly made hand seals with two fingers.

The sand behind him continued to pour out, and instantly formed a statue of a woman, holding him, Naruto, and other people nearby in her arms, using her gentle hands to protect them from the wind and rain...

New images unfold——

The scene in the video is similar to Konoha now, with a gloomy sky and constant drizzling rain...
