Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Am I, as the Hokage, too much of a failure?

Have I been too lenient with Danzo, leading to the current situation?

Buzz—

However, just as he was lamenting inwardly, the earth suddenly shook, immediately snapping him out of his thoughts.

“What's going on? An earthquake?”

He wondered, but the Land of Fire wasn't on a seismic belt. The First Hokage and the others were rather casual when choosing a location.

They simply built it where he and Madara Uchiha had agreed upon as kids.

Fortunately, nature was kind, and the Land of Fire had excellent geographical conditions, so they didn't need to worry about such problems.

The sudden occurrence of this situation truly surprised him.

Just then, the office door was urgently knocked open.

“Lord Hokage, something's happened!”

Yamanaka Inoichi rushed in, his face pale. He spoke anxiously.

“In the direction of the Grass Country, there's an outbreak of powerful and vast chakra.

This chakra completely surpasses common understanding, and it can be felt even from a great distance.”

“A man-made phenomenon?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was grim. This kind of uncontrollable power was the most terrifying!

But soon, he suddenly realized something. According to Kakashi's report when they departed, they were heading towards the Grass Country.

“Does that chakra have a familiar feeling?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked tentatively, and Yamanaka Inoichi hesitated for a moment before gently nodding.

“There is some, but it's also very different. This power...

…seems very similar to the newly promoted leader of Root, Shihara Shūzawa's power, but the chakra signature isn't exactly the same.”

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both surprised and helpless.

The uncertainty made it truly difficult, but if it really was Shūzawa, then the Leaf's strength would increase significantly!

But...

…with such strong power, I'm afraid Danzo is doomed this time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was complex. Meanwhile, in the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, Dotai was sorting through documents.

The Fourth Raikage had left with his younger brother, leaving the affairs of the Land of Lightning to him.

“Lord Dotai, something bad has happened!”

Just then, an Anbu rushed in!

“Lord Dotai, according to the Sensory Team's report, there's been an outbreak of immense chakra…”

“A chakra outbreak?”

Dotai was stunned. Why would a chakra outbreak need to be reported?

But the next moment, when the Anbu said the rest, his expression instantly changed!

“According to the Sensory Team's report, the source of this power seems to be in the Grass Country…”

The Grass Country?!

Hearing this, Dotai suddenly felt dizzy.

The Grass Country, wasn't that where the Raikage went?

In an instant, his face turned incomparably pale.

“I wonder what will happen to Chiyo and the others this time…”

In the Hidden Sand Village of the Land of Wind, Rasa was looking at a report, unable to stop himself from worrying about the situation in the Grass Country.

Rasa was somewhat displeased with the two elders, as they wielded too much power!

But what made him helpless was that the village couldn't do without these two people.

Sometimes he needed to consult Chiyo on political matters, and he needed to find Ebizō for the Anbu, and sometimes even Ebizō had to take the blame.

‘Sand Pot,’ wasn't just a nickname sometimes.

And because of the geographical environment of the Hidden Sand Village, and because the daimyo was also poor, they were unimaginably poor!

It wasn't easy for them to train qualified successors. After all, being a ninja was always an expensive endeavor.

Boom—

However, at that moment, the entire Hidden Sand Village suddenly shook, causing Rasa to stand up abruptly!

“What's going on? An earthquake?”

He murmured in disbelief, then ran to the window, but soon his whole body froze in place.

Because he saw a sandstorm like a tsunami, pouring down on the Hidden Sand Village, blotting out the sky and the sun!

Seeing this scene, his whole face turned pale.

“What exactly is this?!”

The world was full of disturbances, but for the Grass Country, the center of the battle, the whole world seemed to be in tranquility.

In the sky, thunder accompanied the constant rain.

The violent chakra aura ultimately affected the weather and environment here, and on the ground, even someone familiar with the Grass Country would be dumbfounded.

Because the terrain of this area had been completely rewritten!

The originally lush forest had now become a desolate ruin.

As if struck by a meteor, the originally flat ground had become like the surface of the moon, with deep pits that seemed to be silently sobbing.

Deep ravines spread in all directions, and the seepage of groundwater and rainwater into the ravines formed rushing currents.

The currents surged forward, eventually forming huge waterfalls at the end of the ravines!

“What exactly is this…”

Kakashi and the other Anbu ninjas looked up into the distance, each of them numb.

In their memories, there was clearly a plain ahead, but now they saw a shocking waterfall!

“That kind of power…”

Looking up, they seemed to still want to find the golden light flashing in the sky, and the terrifying giant Buddha that was thousands of meters tall.

And the hundred-meter giant covered in scarlet armor, exuding a chilling aura.

But at this moment, these things had disappeared, leaving only endless mess.

“Is everyone alright?”

Kakashi rubbed his stuffy chest. Although they weren't directly attacked, the spread of that terrifying power still affected them.

He now felt a tightness in his chest, and he should have suffered some internal injuries.

“It's okay, just a little uncomfortable. Many people are injured, but we haven't lost anyone.”

Tenzō rubbed his chest and immediately looked back before speaking.

But his gaze kept looking forward, seemingly still not recovered from the earth-shattering scene just now.

“Was that just now… the power of Wood Release?”

“Shouldn't you be the one answering that question?”

Kakashi almost couldn't hold back when he heard this. Besides Shūzawa, you're the only one who knows Wood Release, does that make sense?

But soon he sighed, because he also knew that Shūzawa was really too different from others!

“Maybe it's Shūzawa's new power. Yūgao, do you know?”

“Sorry, I'm not too sure either.”

Yūgao also felt a little tightness in her chest. Fortunately, she had the ability of a medical ninja and had already begun to recover.

But she couldn't give an accurate answer to Kakashi's question, after all, Shūzawa rarely discussed these things.

“Is that so?”

Kakashi nodded, but he wasn't surprised.

“Forget it, after all, probably no one can explain Shūzawa's power clearly. He's really...

…However, everyone, I'm afraid our mission can't stop yet, we still have more things to do.

So, please everyone persevere.”

Kakashi really had the intention of abandoning the mission. In fact, any ninja who encountered the current situation would probably have the thought of giving up in their minds.

But considering that the person who took action was Shūzawa, it wasn't surprising that he had such power, and Kakashi finally decided to continue.

Besides, Danzo was really too important. They had to see the person alive or the body dead, how could they just give up?

“Yes!”

Yūgao and the others immediately responded loudly, and Kakashi silently withdrew his gaze.

Looking at this ruined wall, he couldn't help but sigh.

“Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen again…”

“Is it over?”

On the ruined walls, Shūzawa slowly fell from the sky. He didn't feel very well now.

“Sure enough, forcibly using True Several Thousand Hands isn't a good choice for me.”

Feeling the consumption of his own chakra, Shūzawa couldn't help but complain.

Of course, this wasn't to say that Shūzawa couldn't use this technique now. On the contrary, his hard conditions were basically met.

But the key was that his Wood Release level was probably still a bit low, and there was also a gap in proficiency.

This led to the fact that if his ‘True Several Thousand Hands’ wanted to unleash stronger power, it would have to consume more chakra and energy!

On the contrary, the ‘Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion,’ which was no less powerful than Shūzawa's all-out ‘True Several Thousand Hands’ and had a stronger single-point blasting ability, didn't consume so much of his chakra.

But looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh. The power of this kind of ‘map cannon’ was really something that his ‘Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion’ couldn't achieve.

Even though he had held back a little...

In any case, Nagato was now a partner, and Shūzawa didn't need to smash Yahiko's body to pieces.

At the same time, Chiyo and ‘Sand Pot’ were in the crowd, and Shūzawa had to give Ebizō a little face.

Besides, if they died, where would Shūzawa go to fleece sheep in the future!?

Just like he was still keeping the Akatsuki organization, before he reached ‘omnipotence,’ he needed enough free points.

It wasn't difficult to send them to their deaths now, but Shūzawa wouldn't have a suitable fish pond in the future, so it was better to keep them.

“It's best to force them to unite with the Akatsuki, and I'll have more free points!”

Shūzawa muttered to himself, but looking at the situation in front of him, he secretly shook his head.

Even if he held back, the current power was scary enough!.

After all, this was the True Several Thousand Hands that Hashirama Senju had ‘only used once’.

“Shūzawa.”

Just then, a voice suddenly came, and Hikari was walking towards this side.

And not far away, he also sensed the chakra of Konan and Ebizō, who were also rushing here!

“Are you okay.”

Shūzawa walked over and asked Hikari in a low voice.

“You know what I'm asking, you're really messing around, can your eyes handle it?”

“It's okay, I also want to see where my limits are.”
