Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

In fact, apart from some errors in his speculation about Neji, Naruto's guesses about Shikamaru and Tenten were not significantly off.

Shikamaru possesses a Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal within his body, granting him the abilities of the Shadow Dragon Slayer Mage.

Tenten, on the other hand, obtained the glittering Gate of Babylon and all its treasures.

Even if he's a Dragon Slayer Mage, Shikamaru probably can't even unleash the full power of his Dragon Slayer Magic right now, so he doesn't pose much of a threat to Naruto.

However, Tenten can perfectly control the Gate of Babylon without any training. With the treasures inside, Naruto will probably have to temporarily avoid Tenten's sharp edge.

The Gate of Babylon contains the Chains of Heaven, the Hegny Sword from Nibelungen, and Gram, the Sun Sword of Glory and Destruction.

The magic sword Caladboga, wielded by the Celtic hero Fergus Mark Roy.

Indra's signature weapon is the Thunder Sword, crafted by the craftsman god Dhāshīta.

The divine sword used to cut off the head of the banshee Medusa—Hempal.

Lu Bu wields one of the Five Weapons of the War God as a Noble Phantasm – the Fangtian Halberd.

Powerful Noble Phantasms such as the Shield of the Gods, the True Shooting of a Hundred Heads, the Emerald Plain that Opens Up a Thousand Mountains, Hades' Helmet of Invisibility, the Dawn Line that Burns and Drives Across the Seas, and the Star of Creation that Separates Heaven and Earth.

Given Naruto's strength from the first stage of the low-level Eight-Nine Arcane Arts he acquired in the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons arc, he couldn't withstand the power of many Noble Phantasms.

Let alone Naruto, even if Madara Uchiha were to reappear, he would have a headache facing Tenten's Noble Phantasm, and might even be killed by Tenten.

Naruto would need to reach at least the third level of cultivation to face the threat of the Star of Heaven and Earth's Separation and save his life.

Naruto correctly guessed that Tenten's power-up was related to her weapon, but he couldn't have guessed that Tenten's power-up would be so powerful.

He only paid attention to the threats posed by Hinata and Shino Aburame, ignoring Tenten.

……

While drinking juice with Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto subtly hinted at their future aspirations and attitudes toward Konoha.

Sasuke readily revealed his ambition: to kill Itachi and avenge his clan once he had achieved some success in manipulating his magnetic field.

Sasuke's ambition was not unexpected by Naruto. It seems that once Sasuke learns that the real culprit behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan was the higher-ups in Konoha, Sasuke will certainly become an ally in his own destruction of Konoha.

Sakura's ambition, however, is rather outrageous; she actually wants to become the Fifth Hokage.

Sakura is very smart and has a high talent for ninjutsu, but it must be said that becoming Hokage requires more than just strength.

Judging solely by strength, Danzo and the Third Hokage were not much different, yet Tobirama ultimately chose the Third Hokage.

To become Hokage, one needs seniority, support from other ninja clans, and even political support from the Daimyo.

If Sakura doesn't realize this, she will definitely be affected by the dark side of Konoha in the future.

However, Naruto felt that Sakura might succeed, as Sakura was not a naive girl.

She wants to control other countries' agriculture and food wars by using genetically modified rice seeds, so how could she be a naive and innocent person?

Perhaps Sakura will also have the opportunity to stand on the same side as Naruto and Sasuke and launch an armed coup to seize power.

After understanding his two companions' aspirations, Naruto was overjoyed, feeling that he was not alone on the path to destroying Konoha.

With Sasuke and Sakura's help, he had nothing to worry about.

Naruto thoroughly enjoyed the barbecue, and when it was time to part ways, he happily waved goodbye to the two of them.

Then that night, after Naruto thoroughly defeated the Nine-Belled Demon, he slept soundly.

The next morning, Naruto arrived at the large classroom.

The elimination-style exams concluded yesterday evening, with most students qualifying to become genin. The three members of the new generation, Ino-Shika-Cho, also defeated their respective opponents and successfully graduated.

Everyone gathered in the large classroom, and then, led by Iruka, went to the photo room to take pictures and register their ninja files.

After completing the process, in the afternoon, everyone sat in the large classroom, waiting for the class assignments and the arrival of the team leader ninja.

The class assignments are exactly the same as in the original story: Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura form Team 7.

The other students remained unchanged.

As one Jonin after another appeared and took their teams away, only Naruto and his friends remained in the large classroom.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the other students in the large classroom had already left several hours ago, and the Jonin leading Naruto and his team had not yet appeared.

The three looked at the empty classroom and felt a slight dissatisfaction with the Jonin who was leading the team, whom they had never met before.

They all controlled their emotions and quietly went about their business.

Sasuke quietly cultivated the magnetic field rotation, strengthening his own cellular magnetic field.

Naruto, on the other hand, cultivated the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, absorbing spiritual energy and accumulating magical power.

Sakura is engrossed in devising new ninjutsu and developing the enemy's Kekkei Genkai.

The three men's outward composure pleased Kakashi, who was observing from the shadows.

"No rush, these three kids are not bad. Maybe I won't send them back to the ninja academy this year."

Kakashi nodded in satisfaction, then emerged from the shadows, pushed open the classroom door, and went inside.

Chapter 348 The Boring Bell Test

Kakashi pushed open the classroom door and, without encountering any blackboard eraser pranks, easily arrived in front of the three.

"Ahem, hello everyone, I'm your team leader, Jonin Kakashi!"

Kakashi introduced himself.

But Sasuke kept his eyes closed and didn't move.

Even as Naruto reached a crucial moment in his training, he maintained his internal energy and ignored Kakashi.

As for Kakashi making Sakura wait for so long, the cunning Sakura had already been full of complaints. Seeing that neither of her two companions paid any attention to this Jonin, she simply stopped talking and left him to his own devices.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Kakashi said awkwardly, "Your training can end now. Come with me to the rooftop so we can all introduce ourselves."

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes and said to Kakashi, the Jonin, without any respect whatsoever, "The introduction can be done here. There's no need to go up to the rooftop. Besides, as our team leader Jonin, you must already have our information. The three of us have been friends for many years and know each other very well. Teacher, please introduce yourself in detail!"

Sasuke appeared indifferent, but he was actually quite dissatisfied, and his words were full of barbs. He had only been a Jonin for so long.

So what if they're Jonin? Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto—each of them is far stronger than an average Jonin.

In Sasuke's view, Kakashi's lateness was purely a way to intimidate them. Since he wanted to control him, why should he give him face?

Hearing Sasuke's curt tone, Kakashi's fake smile crumbled.

"Even though you've become genin, if I, the jonin in charge, deem you unqualified, you'll still have to be sent back to the ninja academy. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing Kakashi threaten them with the qualification, the three of them looked at Kakashi.

Naruto did not have a good impression of Kakashi in the original work.

In the original work, Kakashi didn't take good care of him. He was also a pessimistic person. Although he was quite strong, he was weak-willed and unable to firmly carry out his own will.

Kakashi's father was sacrificed in a high-level political struggle, but he had no will to avenge his father. He was devastated by his father's death and never recovered.

After Rin and Obito died, she became nothing more than a walking corpse.

Even after Sasuke's entire family was killed, he knew he had to seek revenge, but Kakashi didn't even have the motivation to do so.

Later, Kakashi was misled by Danzo and planned to assassinate the Third Hokage, but he was persuaded by the Third Hokage's talk-no-jutsu and became the Third Hokage's loyal follower.

Kakashi, just as his name suggests, is a scarecrow in a rice paddy, a being who can only be manipulated by others forever.

His inner emptiness was even greater than Sasuke's, and his willpower was even weaker than Sakura's.

Guy, who once looked up to Kakashi, won the title of Emperor Guy with his amazing kick.

Kakashi, on the other hand, could only maintain his dignity by using cheat codes, and in the end, he could never get rid of the shameful title of "50/50".

Kakashi's personality destined him to never help Naruto destroy Konoha.

Kakashi wouldn't bring Naruto any benefit; on the contrary, he might become a stumbling block for him in the future. Therefore, Naruto had neither the intention to win over nor the intention to please Kakashi, and his attitude was full of indifference.

"Can a Jonin leading a team arbitrarily revoke a student's Genin status? Even if you have that power, you'd probably need a legitimate reason, right?" Naruto asked skeptically.

Kakashi replied, "Indeed, I cannot waive your genin status based on my own will, but if you fail to complete the test I designed, then I will have a legitimate reason."

"What kind of test?" Sakura asked.

Kakashi smiled and said, "Come with me to Training Ground Number One."

After saying that, Kakashi disappeared from the large classroom using the Body Flicker Technique.

Sasuke stared in the direction Kakashi had disappeared and slowly said, "What an annoying guy. If he's not strong enough, don't blame me for embarrassing him during the test later."

Sakura chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! I've never seen a ninja with such a lack of time management. He was late first, yet he still tried to intimidate us by threatening to strip us of our genin status. His character is terrible. I strongly demand that the Third Hokage replace us with a jonin leader."

The three exchanged glances, seeing a shared sense of righteous indignation in each other's eyes.

Naruto laughed and said, "It seems that no matter what tricks this guy uses, he's going to be in big trouble today."

Naruto and his two companions were all stronger than ordinary Jonin. When the three of them joined forces, Kakashi was no match for them at all.

The three headed to Training Ground No. 1.

At Training Ground Number One, located in the forest, Kakashi was already sitting cross-legged on a wooden stake, waiting for them.

Upon seeing the three arrive, Kakashi took out an hourglass and two bells: "My test is very simple. All you three need to do is snatch the bells from my hands within the allotted time, and you will have earned my approval."

"However, one bell can only pass the test for one person. That means the two bells I have can only pass for two of you three. The other person is destined to be sent back to the Ninja Academy."

After saying this, Kakashi smiled and looked on, wanting to see the three of them fight amongst themselves and be wary of each other.

However, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura didn't seem to care about the bell; they just stared at him with amusement.

“The bell-stealing test is such a boring test,” Naruto said. “Trying to use two bells to divide the three of us and make us give up our cooperation is such a ridiculous tactic. As long as we defeat you, it doesn’t matter whether we steal the bells or not.”

Defeating Kakashi means that the three of them are stronger than Kakashi.

When the time comes, if a loser tries to strip them of their ninja status, they will only be ridiculed by others.

How can the weak restrain the strong?

He can't even beat a newly graduated genin, yet he tries to use tricks to prevent others from becoming ninjas.

If Kakashi were to try to strip the three of their ninja qualifications after being defeated, he would likely be disgraced and seen as narrow-minded and petty.

Kakashi, upon hearing Naruto's boastful claim that he wanted to defeat him, remained vigilant and alert.

He already knew who the three genin he was going to lead were, and he had secretly investigated the three of them.
