Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

Hinata Hyuga emerged from a specially designated medical room, a blue totem now visible beneath her straight bangs.

As the clan leader, she set an example by being the first to imprint the 'Bluebird' spell mark, serving as a role model for her clansmen.

However, once the Caged Bird was released, she was no longer the clan leader. She was largely to blame for the failures of the previous reforms, and despite her best efforts, Hinata's own abilities were limited.

Not only did it fail to proceed smoothly according to the Sixth Boss's plan, but it also hindered progress, causing many unforeseen events. This time, an oversight led to the Sixth Boss's assassination.

Hinata looked at the Hyuga clan members queuing outside the medical room with a mix of happiness and frustration. She thought that Neji would be very happy to see this, which was probably the only consolation for her.

She bought a bunch of lilies and went to Neji's grave to pay her respects, bringing him the good news that the caged bird was finally free.

“I’m still not as good as Neji. If you were here, you would definitely do a better job as the clan leader than I did,” these were the words of her father, the previous clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.

Hinata still feels deeply hurt by the disappointment and regret conveyed in his voice.

“But if Hanabi succeeds to the throne, she should be able to handle clan affairs well. I don’t know what to do right now,” she said, lowering her head with a look of confusion on her shy face, but only for a moment.

"I heard Naruto-kun is back, but I wonder if she..." Thinking of Naruto, she felt both happy and disappointed.

She wanted to see him, but felt guilty because she had done a terrible job as the head of the Hyuga clan. Naruto would definitely look down on someone as useless as her.

Hinata ran into Tenten as she walked back. She paused for a moment, then nodded to her shyly.

"It's Hinata," Tenten said, holding a large bouquet of flowers and a copy of Konoha's daily newspaper. Today's headline was about the complete release of the Hyuga Caged Birds. She gave Hinata a casual greeting and then walked past.

After learning about the Hyuga clan's branch family and the Caged Bird Seal system, it became impossible for me to feel any affection for Hinata.

She knelt down in front of Neji's grave, her expression slightly complicated. Neji treated Hinata like a younger sister, but she couldn't. Sometimes, when she dreamed of that jade-like boy in the middle of the night, she would feel a bit of resentment towards Hinata when she woke up.

She knew this mindset was wrong. Neji's death was not Hinata's fault, nor was the main family's oppression of the branch family.

Her mistake was being born into the main family; her very existence was a form of exploitation and oppression for Neji.

Neji's act of protecting Hinata with his life during the Fourth Shinobi World War is hard to say whether he was protecting Naruto or Hinata. If it was to protect Naruto, then Hinata might have found some solace amidst her pain. But if it was to protect Hinata, then... her heart, even if she survived, would likely only be filled with hatred.

Forget it, why think so much? The future is getting better and better, isn't it?

"Neji, you must like today's news... Teacher Li and Teacher Kai aren't in the village, but they asked me to bring you flowers..."

The girl with black hair and a bun has transformed into a mature woman, but the emotions in her eyes remain unchanged. She rambles on to Neji about the major events that have recently occurred, hoping to convey their longing to the Pure Land and let those who are sleeping in peace know that while they miss him, they are also working hard to change the village.

To build a better future for ninjas.

Now the timeline.

After the live stream ended, the key members of the Hokage's office gathered again to analyze the intelligence.

Three days later, Naruto, who had been training with the Perverted Sage, and Sasuke, who had been training with Orochimaru, also received a new mission.

"What? Is it an S-rank mission?" Naruto stared at Kakashi with wide, cool eyes, his whiskers trembling with excitement.

Even Sasuke was somewhat looking forward to it. He trained every day, but even he felt a little irritable and bored. Not to mention, Orochimaru never showed any mercy, and Sasuke was often covered in bruises.

Being able to go out and breathe some different air during the mission was a kind of rest for him.

However, a high-level mission would be even better, as it would be a good opportunity to test the results of one's training over the past period.

"Well~" Kakashi stared at the two rapidly developing kids and said slowly, "Although it's not an S-rank mission, there are still a lot of variables in this mission, so you'd better be prepared."

With the Second Hokage and the First Hokage ready to be resurrected at any time, along with the Three Legendary Sannin, Konoha was able to hold its ground for a time, deterring the Akatsuki from attacking. However, the situation was different outside Konoha.

After all, this mission involves two Jinchūriki traveling together.

"So what exactly is this mission?!" Naruto exclaimed, already incredibly excited.

Kakashi: "Escort Gaara, the former Kazekage, back to Sunagakure."

"Eh????"

When the sky that transcends time and space first appears, it reveals the identity of the future Fifth Kazekage: Gaara, a boy who grew up amidst hatred and fear of others!

The future Gaara, the Kazekage, is worlds apart from the present-day gloomy young Gaara; the difference is immense.

The Sand Ninja who saw the future Kazekage were all stunned and speechless. After all, who among them didn't know that Gaara was a monster?!

As a Jinchūriki, his emotions are extremely unstable. He went berserk and attacked the village countless times when he was a child.

The ninjas of Sunagakure almost all live in the shadow of being tortured and killed by Shukaku, and Gaara is much like Shukaku, a bloodthirsty and cruel monster!

Will appointing such a monster as Kazekage really lead to the destruction of Sunagakure?!

But the Fengying on the screen seemed to be very well-loved, and the gentle smile on her face was genuine.

This put them in a dilemma: should the Fifth Kazekage choose him or not?!

After days and nights of discussion, the elders of Sunagakure still couldn't find the reason for Gaara's change, and could only hope that Gaara would grow after learning about the future.

After all, the situation in the ninja world is tense right now, and their Sand Village cannot be leaderless.

Thus, Gaara became the quasi-Kazekage.

"Damn it, that guy became Kazekage so quickly." Naruto, carrying a small backpack, walked out with Sasuke, Kakashi, and a guy supposedly named Yamato, muttering to himself, clearly dissatisfied.

After seeing Gaara and his siblings at the Konoha gates, they dared not speak; Gaara's gaze was simply too fierce.

"Everyone's here, let's go." After confirming with Maki, the Jonin leading the Sand Village trio, Kakashi and his group quickly got up and headed towards the Sand Village.

Not long after we went out, the sky brightened again.

In another time and space, a certain bloodline ninja, during a rare holiday, excitedly registered an account for a newly released game and logged into the game forum.

[#The mobile game "Shadow Ninja" is finally out!! Does anyone know about it?! I'm so excited!#]

[1L: I'm so excited too! I heard that the first 50 players to register an account can participate in a lucky draw, and the prize is supposedly a Nine-Tails doll! The 2-meter tall kind! I really want one!]

[OP: Draw your sword! Anyone who tries to take Kurama from me is an enemy!]

"Kurama? Who said that?" Naruto scratched his cat-like cheeks in confusion, unaware that inside him, the creature locked in the cage suddenly widened its eyes.

"What is this 'X-Shadow Ninja' mobile game?!"

Resting in the house Yamato built with Wood Release, we sat down to watch the movie in peace. Apart from Naruto talking to himself, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

[2L: Waaaaaah, I missed it! I was only 51st in line, I'm so upset.]

[3L: Hahahaha, I happen to be ranked 50th, I'm so lucky today!]

[4L: True luck depends on the lottery; you might not get anything at all.]

[5L: Official news: There are 20 prizes, meaning there's a 3/5 chance you won't be able to win one.]

[6L: Wow, there are 20 of them! The production team is really generous.]

[7L: After all, it's an official Naruto game, so it's expected to be high-quality. Plus, the developers of the most popular game from 75, "Five Kage Alliance," were also involved, so the funding should be quite substantial.]

Looking back after World War IV, the economies, technologies, and entertainment sectors of various regions entered an era of rapid development, relying on internet technology, and mobile games developed from these sectors gradually became popular.

Merchants have set their sights on the 'Fourth Shinobi World War' IP, constantly producing various games and releasing ninja-related merchandise such as hero cards.

The profit was huge.

Unfortunately, with the release of the "Fourth Shinobi World War Documentary," the huge gap between the game and real history has left many players extremely frustrated.

Theoretically speaking, there's nothing wrong with that; the key is combat power! In the documentary, Naruto and Sasuke's fight was earth-shattering, and the Ten-Tails' attack on the Fourth Shinobi World War, which split the world apart, seemed like the end of the world.

In the game... it's like kids fighting, how can anyone play like that?

As a result, games on the market were phased out, and the game market experienced a period of vacancy.

Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, noticed the popularity of games in recent years and decided to take the lead in collaborating with businessmen to develop and produce the game, "X-Shadow Ninja," through the Konoha Technology Department.

As soon as the news broke, game enthusiasts throughout the ninja world got excited and eagerly awaited the arrival of the new game.

[8L: I'm so excited! Orochimaru and other top researchers are involved in the technology development, so the scene should be a realistic replica as closely as possible.]

[9L: Don't blindly follow Orochimaru! He's an expert in the field of biology!]

[10L: No! Orochimaru is omnipotent!]

Orochimaru: "..." The future is really interesting, that it actually admires a rogue ninja like him so much.

[11L: I'd rather have a Shukaku plushie, a chubby Shukaku, oh~ I want to pet it~]

[12L: I heard that Shukaku also has a teacup crane form!]

[13L: Adults make choices, I want them all!]

Shukaku?

Kakashi and Maki both turned to look at Gaara instantly. The name of the One-Tailed Beast is Shukaku, which is something many people know.

So, Kurama... nine, nine-tailed?

(Hashirama Senju: Shukaku doll and Kurama doll? Are they One-Tail and Nine-Tail? So tailed beasts have names too.)

(Uchiha Madara: They're nothing but a bunch of beasts.)

(Kirabi: I want a Hachi doll, Baka yarou, Kanna yarou!)

(Ox Demon: How disgusting! I don't want to be turned into a doll.)

(Bunpuku: It seems that humans and tailed beasts can coexist peacefully in the future. I'm also very happy that so many people like Shukaku.)

(Shukaku: Shut up, who wants human approval? Maybe the doll is some kind of sealing technique.)

(Naruto Uzumaki: Are you an idiot? You don't even know what a doll is? What does it have to do with sealing techniques? It's a punching bag! I have a Kakashi-sensei doll. When I'm unhappy, I punch it a couple of times, hehehe... Eh! I've learned it!!!)

"Ahhhh, I can do it now, Sasuke! Kakashi-sensei! I can use the spelling technique now!" Naruto jumped up excitedly, like a golden retriever seeing a bone.

"Hmm... It's impressive that you've learned this ninjutsu, but... the teacher doesn't know you have this bad habit of beating up the teacher's doll."

"Uh, hahaha, I've been found out." Naruto scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

(Kushina Uzumaki: Wow! Naruto is so awesome! He actually learned this ninjutsu!)

(Naruto Uzumaki: I can talk to my mom and dad now, hehehe.)
