Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Nagato's main body had long been brought back by Obito Uchiha. This battle could be considered a demonstration that Nagato wasn't slacking off.

The Gedo Statue was even summoned directly, which could be seen as a display of his resolve!

But alas, even the Gedo Statue didn't seem to achieve the results they desired.

"The strength of the Gedo Statue is plain to see, but the power within its core is still very empty."

Nagato, controlling Pain, glanced at Obito to the side, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"If we want to unleash its greater power, I'm afraid we need to put in some effort elsewhere."

"I understand."

Obito Uchiha nodded, understanding what Nagato meant.

The Gedo Statue is essentially the husk of the Ten-Tails, and the power of the Ten-Tails is naturally the Tailed Beasts!

These repeated defeats had already made Obito somewhat impatient. He truly wanted to complete his transformation as soon as possible, to reach the level he desired, and thus...

To create this new world!

"How long do you estimate it will take before the desired action can begin?"

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath and asked in a low voice. Nagato, upon hearing this, replied without hesitation.

"Originally, it could have started immediately, but this operation consumed a great deal of power. To compensate for this consumption, it will probably take another two to three years.

However, you can almost start trying to acquire the Tailed Beasts in some areas in advance, while for others, you'll need to think of alternative methods."

In fact, even without today's battle, it would still take Nagato about two to three years to recover.

But disliking Obito in his heart, he unhesitatingly pinned the blame directly on Obito's head.

Anyway, he knew his own condition, so he could say whatever he wanted!

And Obito, upon hearing this, immediately felt like he couldn't hold it in anymore.

The problem with this matter was being blamed on him?

But he couldn't explain anything, because the reason Nagato gave was perfectly reasonable!

Looking at the gazes of the Akatsuki members, and Pain's silent stare, Obito immediately felt his fists hardening.

He knew that he was really going to take the blame this time!

And although Nagato couldn't see Obito's expression, he could guess Obito's frustration.

This situation made him feel very comfortable, after all, he disliked Obito to begin with. In his eyes, this guy was a real liar!

Being able to disgust him was naturally something he would do, he felt no pressure or burden.

"But..."

However, he quickly couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little worried in his heart.

"I wonder how Konan is doing now. Teacher Jiraiya has already returned to Konoha, why hasn't she chosen to leave yet..."

"I say, you're really bold enough to actually stay in Konoha."

Under the hazy moonlight, on a high-rise building in Konoha, Shūze and Konan stood side by side, gazing together at the distant outskirts of Konoha, which had been completely deformed.

"Also, don't worry, I've already scouted Nagato's location in advance, and the attack didn't head in that direction.

At the same time, I didn't target Obito Uchiha, I sensed that he took Nagato's main body away in advance.

So there's no need to worry about his safety. Also, you need to be careful, Jiraiya is in Konoha."

"Yes, I know."

A gentle breeze blew, and Konan gently tucked her long hair, which was fluttering in the wind, behind her ear.

She turned her head, her bright brown eyes quietly looking at Shūze.

"Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful. Also, are you alright?"

"Of course I'm alright. Actually, Nagato didn't fight desperately this time. Although the Gedo Statue is strong, it's not as troublesome as imagined."

Shūze couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, he rested one hand on the railing and smiled slightly as he spoke.

"Also, this operation has made Konoha remember you, and subsequent developments will have a certain bias.

Various preferential measures will be plentiful, and at the same time, some necessary support will be greater, whether it's infrastructure or trade.

Even including the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, and all the surrounding small countries as well.

And if nothing unexpected happens, you can also sell your goods to those small countries."

The money that can be earned from trade is actually more than from missions!

Although the ninja village organization mainly focuses on ninja missions, the daimyos are the ones who handle trade.

But that's for small country ninja villages. Which major country ninja village doesn't develop some necessary trade themselves, especially military trade!

In addition, the unique characteristics of some villages will also be continuously exported and promoted, these are all big money-making projects.

The small villages that Konoha has gotten its hands on are basically open to Konoha, and it's not so easy for others to enter.

It's just that with this Chunin Exam operation, many things need to be changed slightly.

"Of course, the market of the Land of Fire and your market will also be opened simultaneously, but you may still have to suffer a bit, after all, Konoha's production capacity is much stronger than yours."

"I know this, and I'm mentally prepared. Just focus on developing our own unique characteristics."

Konan nodded with some amusement, and after thinking for a moment, she continued to speak.

"Also, haven't these things already started? Although we have always been at a disadvantage, we have to admit that development has indeed been much faster."

"It's just that you feel it's not equal enough, and you feel uncomfortable, so I specifically explained it."

Shūze smiled, looking at the hazy moonlight, he said quietly.

"After all, the size of the Rain Country determines many things, and this cannot be changed."

"I know, so you guys are making a cake now, and trying to make the cake bigger, right?"

Konan nodded. She was no longer the person who only thought about solving problems with fighting.

As she took over the Rain Country and came into contact with Hideki, the more she saw and understood, the more clearly she could think about many things.

"That's good. Also, Hayate is likely to become the Kazekage. Interact with her more, it will be good for you in the future."

Hideki stood up straight and casually patted the dust off his body.

"After all, she is your biggest employer. It's always good to have a better relationship.

Also, it's very late, go back and rest early."

"Okay."

Konan nodded, watching Hideki turn around and prepare to leave. She hesitated slightly, but quickly and firmly asked.

"When will you be free? I'd like to invite you to sit down one day, after all, you've helped us so much."

"When did you become so polite?"

Hideki couldn't help but look at her with some curiosity when he heard this.

"I'm busy these days, after all, such a big thing happened."

"I know, I'm afraid your name will resound throughout the ninja world after dawn, Lord Hideki."

A rare hint of teasing appeared on Konan's cold face, which Hideki had rarely seen before, but he also laughed along.

"That's true, but I don't think this is world-renowned. On the contrary, like Danzo, I might be an enemy of the world."

In fact, there was no need to wait for dawn. Today, Hideki had already heard his name constantly throughout Konoha.

The entire Konoha was now talking about his story everywhere. Everywhere in Konoha, one could hear about his deeds.

Even if it was very, very little, people were always tirelessly talking, and the listeners still listened with relish even after hearing it many times.

Hideki was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, but he realized that he had underestimated this enthusiasm.

"It is for the enemy, but not for us."

Konan shook her head gently, and then continued.

"Then let's do it three days later. We will be returning to the Rain Country by then."

"Then let's do it three days later. Let's just treat it as a farewell to you."

Hideki also nodded. He reached out and put his hand on Konan's shoulder. In the next moment, they disappeared instantly.

When they reappeared, they were already in Konan's room.

"Rest well, it's very late, I have to go back too."

"Okay."

Konan nodded, she stood in place and watched Hideki's figure disappear again.

After a while, she sat down on the bed and murmured.

"A farewell? I'm afraid you've got it wrong. This is showing 'sincerity'."

Returning home, Hideki stretched hard.

In fact, he had wanted to come back a long time ago, but there were far more things to do today than he had imagined.

He glanced at Yūgao's room and, finding no one there, simply returned to his own room.

"The Anbu's affairs are really more than I imagined. I'm afraid Yūgao is going to accompany Hayate today."

Shaking his head, Hideki sat cross-legged. In an instant, his system interface appeared in his eyes.

This time, the operation was so big, showing his strength so strongly, wasn't it all for this moment?

Now that everything has been resolved, and even the matter is much bigger than he remembered, and he has shown even stronger power.

His gains will probably not be bad!

【Completed Task: Chunin Exam】

【Task Evaluation: SSS】

【Reward: 20 Free Points】

Seeing this familiar beginning, Hideki couldn't help but nod slightly.

20 free points, this is enough for him to squander!

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the subsequent rewards!

【Due to the expanded coverage of the Chunin Exam, the additional support from Sunagakure has also been included in the hostile camp, causing many variables】

【However, the host's task completion is extremely high, the evaluation is extremely high, and special rewards are obtained】

【Wood Release Experience (Hashirama Senju Peak)】

【Storm Release Experience (Darui)】

【Double Free Points】

Seeing these three rewards, Hideki was slightly stunned, and in the next moment, he stood up instantly!

"Wood Release Experience..."

Although Hideki didn't care that much about Wood Release, the Wood Release experience of peak Hashirama Senju was still worth his careful consideration.

In this battle with Hashirama Senju, he could clearly feel that Hashirama Senju's detailed control of Wood Release was really strong.

Even if it was just Impure World Reincarnation, that kind of precise control was really worth Hideki's study!

After all, it is a T0 in the high version, even if it is behind the version in the future, he will definitely not be bad. This kind of person is always worth learning and observing.

And Storm Release...

"Is it finally here!"

Although Darui didn't make a move, he was counted in the hostile camp, which gave Hideki a chance!

And Storm Release is the power he lacks the most now, and it is also the power he has been pursuing.

Even if it is an experience card, once the formula of Storm Release is mastered, he can get his own Storm Release.

"With Storm Release, that is the beginning of my ascension to godhood!"

Bloodline Limit Combination, ever since he realized that he had become a 'numerical freak', he had been craving it.
