Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Ranxiu walked over to Kakashi and used the medical supplies he found on Rin to give Kakashi a simple treatment.

Of course, Ranshu has a "One-Time White Zetsu" that can instantly heal Kakashi's injuries.

But using it that way would be a bit wasteful...

Such a precious item should ideally be used someday in the future as insurance for things like transplanting Hashirama cells or the Oni-Garuru technique.

After treatment, Kakashi's condition improved significantly.

As for Obito lying next to him...

Never mind him, he's sleeping soundly right now...

Kakashi is currently feeling both grateful and guilty towards Ran Shu.

On one hand, Ranshu was the savior who saved the entire Kakashi team from a desperate situation.

If it weren't for Ransom's arrival, Kakashi's reputation in Konoha would have been almost as bad as his father's...

On the other hand, Kakashi had previously targeted Ranshu because he was unhappy with Ranshu becoming the captain...

I deeply regret it now.

"Sorry, that was a mess!"

Kakashi, surprisingly, performed a full dogeza (a deep bow) to apologize to Ranshu, even while still sitting down!

Luanxiu was stunned for a moment, wondering if the system's favorability reward was working.

Could someone as arrogant as Kakashi really do something like a private horse race?

However, judging from Kakashi's respectful demeanor, it shouldn't be fake.

Luanxiu could only say calmly:

"You don't need to apologize to me; you should apologize to your teammates."

Kakashi, hearing Ransou's words, nodded again in shame:

"Hi!"

This was even more unexpected for Luanxiu.

I wondered what kind of mess the system had made of Kakashi...

At that moment, a series of explosions suddenly came from not far away.

Ranshu looked at the bridge and discovered that all the Iwagakure ninjas there—including Suma Shi—had been dealt with by Minato.

The explosion we just heard must have been Minato blowing up the Kannabi Bridge to continue the mission that Kakashi's team hadn't finished.

This means that the Battle of Kannabi Bridge is finally nearing its end.

Before Minato returned, Ranshu quickly used the system near the corpses of Huoguang and Daishi.

Despite the fact that Ran Shu's strength has improved rapidly in the past few days.

But you should know that the Third Shinobi World War will end soon.

I'll never have such a great opportunity to encounter so much food again...

Luanxiu seized the opportunity to devour several powerful individuals.

Unfortunately, not many useful abilities were revealed.

Only the rewards for Hikari, Oishi, and Sumashi were somewhat acceptable.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result four, "Learned the ninjutsu 'Earth Release: Rock House Collapse'", the reward is being distributed]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result three, "Improved physical resilience and strength." The reward is being distributed.]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result number one, "Learned the ninjutsu 'Secret Technique: Camouflage Invisibility Technique'"! The reward is being distributed.]

After learning Earth Release: Rock House Collapse, Obito's nemesis, Ran Shu awakened a new chakra nature within him—the Earth Release.

Ranshu now possesses chakra of the five elements: wind, fire, water, earth, and yin.

You can now use various ninjutsu such as the Mist Servant Technique, Water Release: Water Wall, and Secret Technique: Camouflage Invisibility Technique.

In addition, he also has the scrolls for two ninjutsu techniques: Chidori and Great Fireball Technique.

……

Finally, before Ranshu could devour a few more dead, Minato's figure reappeared on the bridge.

It seems that all of Kannabi Bridge's tasks have been completed.

Once Shuimen had some free time, he immediately checked on the condition of each team member.

Kakashi suffered a non-fatal injury, and Rin was tormented by genjutsu for a considerable period of time. Both of them need treatment.

Obito, on the other hand, was in a deep sleep after exhausting his chakra.

It can be said that although the three men's operation was a complete failure, at least it did not lead to a bigger mistake.

Finally, Minato walked over to Ranshu's side again.

"Luanxiu, thank you so much for this."

Minato said sincerely to Ranshu.

Luanxiu nodded upon hearing this.

To be honest, this was originally his achievement, so he didn't need to shirk responsibility too much.

However, the fact that Ran Shu appeared near the Kannabi Bridge was thanks to his determination to come from the Land of Water.

The distance between these two places is not something that can be covered in a day or two under normal circumstances.

Thinking about this, Minato felt even more moved.

"Your mission location is in the Land of Water, right? Why did you decide to come here?"

He asked.

"Because I felt the mission assignments were unreasonable. The battles in the Land of Earth were extremely dangerous, and they were short-handed, so I couldn't feel at ease staying in a safer place."

Luanxiu explained.

This explanation was something Luanxiu had already come up with while he was on the road.

He left his mission location without permission and came to the Land of Earth; in principle, he should bear the responsibility.

So he prepared a set of excuses in advance.

Fortunately, the operation here is progressing smoothly.

In particular, although Ranshu left the team without permission, he made even greater contributions at the Kannabi Bridge.

So as long as I explain it properly, I shouldn't be held accountable.

Minato was even more surprised after hearing Ranshu's explanation.

He never expected Luanxiu to have this kind of idea!

What an enlightenment this is!

They would rather defy the unreasonable arrangements made by the Hokage than not come to a more dangerous place to save their comrades and dedicate their strength to Konoha!

Selflessness, unity, fearlessness in the face of power, and prioritizing the overall situation...

This brilliant idea is exactly what Hiruzen-sensei was talking about—the one that never stops...

"The Will of Fire..."

Minato murmured to himself, his gaze toward Ranshu becoming even more different.

On the other side, Kakashi, who had also heard Ran Shu's words, lowered his head in shame.

However, it was precisely because of Ranshu's remarks that Kakashi was completely awakened!

Ever since his father, Konoha's White Fang, died, he has been caught in a difficult choice between prioritizing saving his comrades or prioritizing carrying out his mission.

In today's incident, he became a puppet who only followed Obito because he was unable to make his own choices.

Upon hearing Ranxiu's statement...

Ranshu seems to have never placed the village, or even the Hokage, in a position higher than saving his friends!

This is the difference between a weak person and a truly strong person!

"I want to become a determined person like Ranshu from now on!"

A determined glint flashed in Kakashi's eyes as he silently made up his mind.

At that moment, a new thought suddenly flashed through Minato's mind—

Why can't I take such an outstanding young man as Luanxiu as my disciple?

"Luanxiu, I'm thinking... could you...?"

Minato hesitated before speaking.

However, perhaps feeling that the timing was not right, he did not finish his sentence.

"No, forget about this nonsense. Maybe one day, when you've accepted me..."

Minato shook his head, as if talking to himself.

Ranshu didn't hear Minato make that important request.

However, based on his judgment, what Minato was about to say was definitely not simple.

Because he could clearly sense that Minato and Kakashi's attitudes towards him were completely different now!

Is this the benefit of increasing favorability?

"So it seems... the best reward from this system mission is actually the one that increases the character's affinity level..."

Ranshu thought to himself, then looked at Nohara Rin lying at his feet.

The system simultaneously increased the favorability ratings of Minato, Kakashi, and Rin towards him; Minato and Kakashi already had such a high level of favorability...

So...

Where is Lin?
