Chapter 14 Chunin Exams, Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation)

Konoha 60th year.

The smoke of World War III has long since dissipated, and in this peaceful era, children excitedly play ninja games, dreaming of becoming one of the Five Kage when they grow up.

Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

It has changed dramatically since it was first established 60 years ago.

Leaving aside the increasingly bustling streets and buildings.

On the Hokage Rock, three new faces have appeared next to the originally solitary head of Hashirama Senju.

Below the rock wall, in what has always been the central area of ​​Konoha, the former Senju and Uchiha clan strongholds have vanished without a trace.

Of the two founders of Konoha, only Tsunade and Sasuke Uchiha remain.

No one in the village cared about the past history and glory.

Just as they now believe, the Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage in Konoha's history.

The facts of the past have long been distorted beyond recognition by the passage of time and various cover-ups.

Only those who personally experienced that era would laugh and shake their heads inwardly when they hear people spouting nonsense today.

But so what? They're just remnants of an old era.

As times progress, even the most glorious past has been swept into the dust of history and has no impact on the present.

People now belong to the new era.

What god of the ninja world? What person who is comparable to the gods? I've never seen him with my own eyes.

Are they as strong as the Third Hokage, the ninjutsu expert who led Konoha to defeat countless enemies during World War I, World War II, and World War III, a war of unprecedented scale and intensity, surpassing any war in the Warring States period?

Are the legendary Sannin of Konoha, who signed summoning contracts with the three holy lands, really that powerful?

Is it as fast as the Golden Flash? Can it compete with Abby's team?

What?

Better than them?

Ha ha.

Call them out and let us men, young and old, see what they've got.

Can't call out?

Then stop spouting nonsense.

At this point, those who wanted to refute the argument could only helplessly shut their mouths.

Until one day, a talented rogue ninja from Konoha completed a forbidden technique called "Impure World Reincarnation" left behind by the Second Hokage.

Finally, the brilliance of those who have passed away, whose history is only recorded in writing, shines once again in the present world, dazzling everyone's eyes.

Times are changing, and everything has changed.

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Yay~~~ Wuhu~~~ Mmmmm~~~"

As referee Genma Shiranui announced the final result of the match, the blond-haired boy named Naruto Uzumaki, despite his exhaustion, cheered and ran around the arena amidst the cheers and applause of thousands of spectators, constantly blowing kisses to the audience.

This is the site of the Chunin Exams held in Konoha.

Genin from various ninja villages, including Konoha, Sunagakure, Otogakure, Amegakure, and Kusagakure, gathered together for a Chunin selection exam.

After two rounds of assessments that eliminated a large number of contestants, we have now reached the final round.

This is a grand competition currently being watched by thousands of viewers, including many social celebrities, nobles, and even the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage.

At the very beginning, no one expected that a guy named Naruto Uzumaki would defeat the favorite to win the championship, Neji Hyuga, who came from the Hyuga clan.

This caused a stir among the crowd.

The competition that followed was equally exciting.

Nara Shikamaru outwitted Temari, and finally raised his hand to admit defeat.

Uchiha Sasuke makes a cool entrance and engages in a fierce battle with Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast.

Of course, none of this was as shocking as the feathers falling under the Nirvana Abode Technique, the Fourth Kazekage pressing a kunai against the neck of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, announcing the official start of the Konoha destruction plan.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions, carnage, screams, wails.

One second Konoha was peaceful, the next it was engulfed in war.

The roof of the Chunin Exams observation deck.

Inside the Four Purple Flame Array.

Orochimaru revealed his true colors, and after a close conversation with his beloved teacher, he finally became serious.

"Sarutobi-sensei, please don't disappoint me too much."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly at the aged Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Having removed his Hokage robes, revealing his black battle suit, Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face grim, tossed out his shuriken and formed hand seals:

"Shadow Clone Technique with Shuriken!"

In an instant, a large number of shuriken split off and shot towards Orochimaru in an overwhelming manner.

Orochimaru clapped his hands together and smirked, saying:

"Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!"

Amid the tremors, one after another, upright coffins rose from the ground, blocking Orochimaru's attacks with all the sword shadow clones in his hand.

"Impure World Reincarnation? That's..."

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils suddenly contracted.

As the Hokage, how could he not know about the Impure World Reincarnation technique recorded in the Scroll of Seals?

"Summoning the dead?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the first two coffins that rose up, their lids inscribed with the characters "初" (first) and "羽" (feather).

Then two more coffins, each engraved with the characters "two" and "four," were slowly rising.

With a vague suspicion in his mind and a deep sense of foreboding, his expression changed, and he decisively formed hand seals to stop Orochimaru from continuing his summoning.

Sensing that the spiritual connection to the coffin marked with the number "4" was blocked, Orochimaru tried several times without success and then smiled indifferently.

"The fourth one doesn't seem feasible. Let's just forget about it then."

In the end, all three coffins were brought out by spirit communication.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at everything before him as if facing a formidable enemy.

soon.

With a creaking sound, the lids of the three coffins, each pierced with shuriken, slowly fell off, toppling over the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

Click~ Click~

The sound of metal plates colliding came from within the dust.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fist.

Outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, a group of Anbu ninjas also looked directly in this direction.

Finally, the dust has settled.

At that moment, everyone present saw three men dressed in old-style Warring States armor, their surfaces covered in cracks, stiffly emerge from the coffin.

"Those are the First Hokage and the Second Hokage!"

The ANBU ninjas watching from the sidelines quickly recognized their First and Second Hokage of Konoha.

After all, the people of Konoha have seen these two portraits since they were children.

only.

Who is that young man in the silver armor?

The ANBU ninjas looked at each other, completely unfamiliar with the man who stood alongside the First and Second Hokage.

The ANBU ninjas were unaware, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, knew very well.

"A man who once fought against the First Five Kage, killing the Mizukage and crippling the Raikage, and whose death was only achieved after the First Hokage expended great effort. He was known as someone comparable to a god!"

"Feathered Robe and Mysterious Moon!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had been resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and said each word with a heavy heart.

"Oh?"

"I didn't expect people would still recognize me."

As Hagoromo Gengetsu looked up, basking in the long-awaited sunlight, she smiled brightly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Good job, you deserve praise."
