Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

As the group of silent ninjas departed, news of the destruction of Kusagakure overnight spread like wildfire.

[At the same time, the swirling pattern stained red with the blood of Kusagakure was also spread.]

The Uzumaki clan... has returned to seek revenge on the ninja world!

At first, the ninjas thought it was just a bunch of madmen talking nonsense.

[Until...more and more ninja teams went to Kusagakure seeking revenge.]

[The anomaly in Kusagakure... the paralyzed 'security system'... the Kusagakure information-trafficking ninja who has vanished without a trace.]

[And...the innocent civilians of Kusagakure who escaped and survived the ordeal finally dared to show their faces.]

But even so, no one knows exactly what happened that night.

These innocent villagers of Kusagakure...most of them suffered the same fate and treatment as Mina and Karin Uzumaki, mother and son.

That's why they weren't affected.

Information about Mina and Karin Uzumaki has also been revealed.

[Many believe he is a survivor of the Uzumaki clan from back then.]

[I never imagined I'd end up in Kusagakure.]

[And I was treated like that.]

No wonder the Uzumaki clan sought revenge.

Of course, there were also the "commoners" of Kusagakure who escaped with their lives. Although they didn't suffer as much as Mina and Karin, they were still treated like slaves...

Unfortunately for everyone, aside from knowing about Mina and Karin, they knew very little about what happened that night.

But... it also strikes fear into the hearts of countless ninjas.

That night, the surviving civilians of Kusagakure, while fleeing, looked back and saw a huge, rectangular barrier, blood-red in color, that appeared to be burning...

【Four Red Yang Formation!】

In other words, at least four Kage-level ninjas made a move that night!

[It was even used to activate the Four Red Sun Formation barrier...]

[Just how strong were the Uzumaki clan members that night?!]

[Back then, it took the combined might of most of the elite forces to destroy the Land of Whirlpools overnight... Now the Uzumaki clan has returned, and judging by the Uzumaki clan crests scattered all over the ground, you know they've come back for revenge.]

【panic!】

The mere mention of the Four Red Yang Formation in those few words was enough to make the Five Great Ninja Villages take it seriously.

[And what about those small countries and villages?]

These messages spread rapidly throughout the ninja world, as if they had sprouted wings.

Anxiety and fear crept into the hearts of many ninjas.

Of course, many ninjas laughed and cursed, saying that rumors stop with the wise.

[Simply because these rumors are simply too outrageous.]

However, when the reconnaissance ninjas from each clan returned with concrete information about Kusagakure, the ninjas fell silent again.

However... soon enough, the higher-ups' attention uncontrollably shifted back to the Land of Grass.

[Danger, we saw it.]

[The benefits, too, were seen!]

[Afterwards, a large number of ninjas poured into the Land of Grass, which no longer had the Hidden Grass Village.]

The struggle for interests inevitably leads to small-scale wars.

[They have a keen sense of smell, move quickly, and are very bold... but the risks are equally high. Being targeted by the Uzumaki clan could very well make them the next Kusagakure.]

Of course, the potential profits were so great that these ninjas disregarded the risks.

【pity.】

No matter how fast they go or how much effort they put in, it's useless.

【...】

Tobirama Senju: "Now... the Chunin Exams... no, Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha will probably have their attention diverted."

Tobirama Senju: "Then... wouldn't Naruto with black frames be considered a savior in another way?"

Tobirama Senju: "After all, Sunagakure might use this to start a Fourth Shinobi World War... and then Naruto with black frames might start another Fourth Shinobi World War... so the good and bad cancel each other out?"

Orochimaru: "I disagree. Where's the fault?"

In the blink of an eye.

The second round of the Chunin Exams has come to an end on its final day.

The cockroaches arrived home early.

Naruto glanced out the window.

[Because of the events in Kusagakure.]

The day when Izumi's wife returns will be delayed even further.

Naruto wasn't in a hurry either.

[Actually, if Naruto wanted to, he could go directly to Izumi's wife most of the time.]

However, Izumi's wife rejected him every time.

She was afraid...afraid that if she saw Naruto, she wouldn't want to leave again.

Furthermore, if Izumi's wife can handle everything in the Kusagakure incident without seeking his help, she can do so with the resources of the Land of Waves.

"Then, Naruto can entrust more things to her with peace of mind from now on."

[This was also requested by Izumi's wife herself.]

After all... she knows quite a lot.

[I can also imagine what the future will be like.]

Therefore, to prepare for the future, I will definitely have to fight for the position of the principal wife.

"Karin...are you alright?" Hinata asked softly.

Naruto gently patted her head. "It's alright."

"She was just too tired, and the shock was too much... Of course, everything is moving in a positive direction."

"Xianglin will wake up on her own after a while."

"By then, most of her depleted vital essence will have been restored."

Hinata nodded softly, her pretty face flushed.

"Alright, it's almost time, or we'll be late."

【"good."】

The two left the bedroom and then joined the cockroaches on their way to the central tower in the Death Forest.

[Not long after.]

[Inside the central tower of the Forest of Death.]

[The Konoha Twelve have all arrived.]

[Then we entered the meditation hall in the central tower.]

Naruto deliberately slowed his pace.

As expected.

I saw that petite figure.

[The hydrangea was also taken aback when it saw Naruto.]

Naruto gave her a gentle smile.

[The hydrangea paused, startled, then a blush crept onto her cheeks.]

The hydrangea itself doesn't know why.

[Haven't seen you for a few days, and the blond guy in front of me seems to have gotten even more handsome.]

Her smile, as always, brought a sense of reassurance.

"Congratulations, you've passed the second test."

Just then.

The proctor guarding the gate of the training hall appeared before the crowd.

"The second exam is over."

"Those who didn't pass the test, come along too."

"We'll leave together after everything is settled."

After saying this, the proctor secretly glanced at Naruto, a glint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

[Then he turned and led the team into the dojo.]

Naruto: "..."

"Big fox, explain yourself. What ideas have you instilled in them?"

"What...what ideology? The Will of Fire, huh?" the big fox replied somewhat guiltily.

Naruto: "..."

[The Wicked Will of Fire.]

He shook his head helplessly; there was nothing he could do now.

Besides, it's not something very serious.

[As long as the big fox finds it fun.]
