Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Leaf.

Hokage Building.

"but……"

"The Godaime."

"Actually, in these past few years..."

"Many school teachers have submitted applications to graduate early."

"Is it a waste of time for those exceptionally gifted children to stay in school?"

Nara Shikaku was somewhat puzzled.

Chiba chuckled softly.

He picked up the hot tea beside him and took a sip.

"Shikaku."

Do you remember the Third Shinobi World War?

Nara Shikaku froze.

That was one of the most painful memories in Konoha's history.

"A ten-year-old child..."

"Their hands were trembling even as they held the kunai, and they were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder to fill in the gaps."

Chiba's tone was flat.

Yet, beneath that calm surface lay a chilling coldness.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen famously said, 'Where leaves dance, fire will never cease.'"

"But what's the reality?"

"This is nothing more than incompetent higher-ups using the blood of the next generation to cover up their incompetence."

Nara Shikaku lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

He knew all too well the dirty secrets of those days.

Orphans were being sent to their deaths in droves on the front lines.

Even a genius like Kakashi lost his left eye and his best friend on the battlefield.

This distorted system should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago.

Chiba put down her teacup and glanced at the vibrant street outside the window.

"Konoha is now strong and well-equipped."

"More than 10,000 Chunin and more than 1,000 Jonin."

"If any enemy dares to attack, these adults will naturally be at the forefront."

"Konoha doesn't need children to risk their lives."

"Their task is to lay a solid foundation in school and grow wings."

"If anyone dares to suggest sending students under the age of twelve to the battlefield prematurely..."

"I told him to go to the front lines and fill the gaps himself."

Nara Shikaku's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He quickly stood at attention.

"Understood!"

"The Fifth Hokage's will is the ironclad rule of Konoha!"

Chiba withdrew his gaze, his expression softening somewhat.

Naruto.

That brat who always followed me around calling me "Brother Chiba".

Graduation is finally approaching.

Because of my own intervention.

Naruto's childhood was free from those dark and isolated experiences.

He was no longer the underachiever who played pranks everywhere just to get attention.

As for Sasuke?

The Uchiha clan was not wiped out.

Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha both did their best to teach him.

It lacked some of the bitterness and resentment of the extreme, but gained an extreme desire for power.

These two were constantly competing with each other at the ninja academy, making life miserable for their peers.

The chakra reincarnation of Asura and Indra.

They were destined for greatness.

"Make time for my graduation exam in two days."

Chiba stood up and casually straightened his divine robe.

"I want to go and see for myself."

"Let's see what these seedlings of Konoha have grown into."

"Yes, sir!"

Nara Shikaku respectfully withdrew.

The office door was closed gently.

The room fell silent once more.

Chiba walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the massive ninja city below.

His consciousness dipped slightly.

【Ding! 】

The familiar mechanical sound echoed deep within his mind.

A translucent, deep blue light screen instantly unfolded on the retina.

Overall assessment: You are the new God of Ninjas!

Looking at the data on the panel.

Chiba's eyes, however, showed little emotion.

Over the past six years.

The system promptly initiated six check-in sessions, following a once-a-year frequency.

But the system seems to have entered a period of weakness.

Six draws.

No incredible, god-level rewards were revealed.

They only gave us ordinary ninja tools or life skills that had little practical use in combat.

Chiba had long since given up on the system.

Although cheats are useful.

But honing one's own skills is the most fundamental thing.

He was the Fifth Hokage.

Chiba controls the most core and largest resource treasury in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

In those six years, he didn't have a single day of rest.

Divine comprehension combined with a perfect immortal body.

This allowed Chiba's training speed to reach a terrifying level that was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Originally, he was only proficient in three attributes: water, earth, and yang.

just now.

He has completely mastered the three chakra nature transformations: fire, wind, and lightning.

If he wants to.

All five basic escape techniques can unleash devastating power in his hands.

Even a single fireball he spews out can cover the area of ​​an A-rank or even an S-rank ninjutsu.

but.

Chiba values ​​the most fundamental transformation of the body.

His chakra reserves and physical strength.

Nourished by the perfect immortal body, it grew wildly day and night.

Until now, we have finally reached a critical juncture.

The pinnacle of Shadowcraft!

Chiba clenched his right fist.

The bones rubbed together, producing a sickening popping sound.

Between your fingers, you can even see the air distorting.

He was certain.

Even if Hashirama Senju, known as the God of Shinobi, were to be resurrected, or Madara Uchiha at his peak were to return to the world.

In a pure contest of physical strength and chakra, they are no match for Chiba.

Chiba's cells contain an explosive vitality.

Even some fatal wounds can heal instantly in a fraction of a second.

not to mention.

He still has his biggest trump card.

Chiba closed her eyes, her breathing gradually slowing down.

The natural energy floating in the surrounding air surged wildly into his body.

No complicated hand seals are needed.

There's no need to sit cross-legged and meditate to find any balance.

It was just a thought.

A perfect immortal face appeared at the corner of Chiba's eyes and on his forehead.

boom!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure emanated from Chiba and spread outwards.

The teacup on the table was instantly covered with a dense network of cracks.

The heavy solid wood floorboards groaned in pain.

Even the leaves outside the window were whipped up by the invisible air currents and flew wildly.

This is the culmination of six years of hard work.

Sage Mode, taking it a step further.

Previously, activating Sage Mode simply doubled his various stats.

But now.

Natural energy and Chiba's chakra merged perfectly.

This change unexpectedly led Chiba to stumble upon another realm.

Six Paths Level!

That kind of power that can reshape the landscape with just a gesture.

"That's too powerful..."

A moment later.

Chiba cut off the absorption of natural energy.

The face mask disappeared instantly.

The pressure in the office suddenly vanished.

Chiba shook his head and let out a helpless sigh.

The power is increasing far too quickly.

The negative effect is...

In the vast ninja world, it seems there's no punching bag left that he can use his full strength against.

Nagato of Amegakure?

That red-haired skeleton covered in black rods could at most withstand a few of his wooden dragons.

Even if they use Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei.

Before the thousands of giant hands of the Immortal Buddha on the Top, they were nothing more than slightly harder walnuts.

Kamui Obito?

The blurring effect is really disgusting.

But in the face of absolute spatial perception and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Obito was just a clown hiding in the gutter.

As for Black Zetsu, that filial son...

Aside from being difficult to kill, he wasn't even qualified to stand in front of Chiba.

Gradually.

Chiba cast his gaze toward the distant horizon.

That's the direction the moon is facing.
