This Naruto is a player

"What about the other one? Do you know anything about it?"

Nine-Tailed Fox shook its head frantically.

Naruto sighed and said, "Let's talk about it another day."

With that in mind, he grabbed the fluffy, chubby Nine-Tails and said, "Little Tanuki, let's play online against each other!"

Feeling the embrace, Nine-Tails completely relaxed. "Hmph, I'm not playing with you. I've never won against you!"

The next day.

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

Early in the morning, Onoki was drinking tea, and while drinking tea, he accepted the Ninja World Daily from Akatsuchi.

This is the newspaper he reads every day, because some of the information in this newspaper is even faster than that of his Iwagakure village's intelligence department.

The major events that broke out in various parts of the ninja world last night, no matter how remote, will inevitably appear on the front page the next morning and quickly spread throughout the entire ninja world.

Whether it's accurate or not is another matter, but at least in terms of speed, even the Iwagakure ninjas couldn't catch up even if they ran their legs off!

More importantly, the Ninja World Daily always manages to uncover astonishing exclusive secrets beyond ordinary information!

The most representative example is the "Uchiha Obito incident".

Before the major ninja villages had even heard of this person, the Ninja World Daily had already published a series of explosive reports, clearly dissecting the identity of this mysterious person, his life and misdeeds, and the detailed abilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan, shocking the entire ninja world!

This alarmingly accurate intelligence source remains a mystery to this day.

It was by leveraging the machinations of 'Obito Uchiha' that the Daily Ninja World soared to new heights, securing its position as the industry leader and achieving a dramatic sales surge.

However, the recent Ninja World Daily's extensive coverage of Konoha's Chunin Exams has left Onoki frowning!

The Ninja World Daily is a major international newspaper.

Hiruzen Sarutobi must have spent a lot of money to promote a ninja village so diligently!

Onoki was already thinking about whether to collaborate with the Ninja World Daily and hold some kind of competition or event in Iwagakure.

What Konoha can do, Iwagakure cannot lag behind!

This is a great opportunity to promote Iwagakure! If we promote it well, all sorts of missions and requests will come one after another!

Iwagakure has many ninjas, but it's also short of money!

Taking the newspaper, Onoki didn't rush to unfold it, but instead glanced sharply at Akado, "You didn't buy 'Pretend to be a Man' this time, did you?"

"The Tsuchikage is not here!"

Chi Tu quickly waved his hand, a helpless smile on his face. "The last batch of 'Pretending to be a Man' was sold bundled with 'Xiaoyao Pills.' The rule was that if you bought Xiaoyao Pills of size 4 or higher, you had to also buy a copy of 'Pretending to be a Man.' It wasn't something I could control."

Upon hearing this, Onoki's old back throbbed with pain, and he could only suppress it, saying, "Hmph, whatever!"

"I could guess today's newspaper with my eyes closed!"

Before even opening the newspaper, Onoki spoke with certainty and utter disdain, "The front page headline will definitely be about Konoha's Chunin Exams again! The rest of the pages will surely be filled with that brat named Uzumaki Naruto! He's always bragging that he's a once-in-a-century genius in Konoha!"

"After all, Konoha is currently holding the Chunin Exams."

Akatsuchi stammered in response, feeling that the Tsuchikage's reaction was a bit excessive, "Isn't this the biggest hot topic in the ninja world right now?"

"Fool! I think you have absolutely no idea how terrifying the invisible power behind this 'propaganda' is!"

Onoki slammed his hand on the table, his beard trembling with anger. "Look at this! Ever since 'Pretending to be a Man' started circulating in the village, everyone's been talking about how amazing that Uzumaki Naruto is! Even my granddaughter Kurotsuchi has a copy!"

Onoki felt heartbroken when he thought of his granddaughter praising Naruto as a genius, someone with ideals, goals, filial piety, simplicity, purity, integrity, and cuteness.

"At this rate, is there any point in fighting? If Naruto Uzumaki really comes knocking on our door, we might as well just surrender!"

"But," Akatsuchi hesitated before reminding him, "Lord Tsuchikage, the Ninja World Media Group behind the Ninja World Daily has a cooperative relationship with Xiaoyao Maru. If they stop selling 'Pretending to be a Man,' Xiaoyao Maru will also have to close down."

"Hmph!" Upon hearing the crucial word "Xiaoyao Wan," Onoki's arrogance vanished instantly.

The Xiaoyao Pill has now become an essential item for ninjas, a strategic resource indispensable for both training and combat.

The unfathomable network of forces behind it is so complex and elusive that it's impossible to trace, and not even a single clue can be found.

"never mind!"

Onoki picked up his teacup and took a big gulp, then opened the newspaper!

"puff--!!!"

As soon as he opened the newspaper, Onoki spat out all the tea he had drunk.

I just saw the front page headline in the Ninja World Daily: "Chunin Exams in Crisis—Orochimaru's Konoha Destruction Plan."

Orochimaru? The Konoha Destruction Plan?

"Hahahaha." Onoki burst out laughing instantly.

This content is so explosive that it actually made the front page headlines?

Who said the Ninja World Daily was bought off? The Ninja World Daily is fantastic!

Onoki smiled and read on carefully. The front-page headline detailed the ins and outs of Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.

Orochimaru's own forces: Otogakure + Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Allies: The First Hokage and the Second Hokage, resurrected through special ninjutsu.

Allies: Sunagakure + One-Tail

Ally: Uchiha Obito

Objective: Destroy Konoha

Orochimaru + Otogakure + Sunagakure + First and Second Hokage + Obito Uchiha!

At first, Onoki was a little skeptical of the title's authenticity, but when he saw this lineup, he could hardly contain his laughter. Konoha must have suffered heavy losses now. Could it be that they've already been wiped out?

Onoki eagerly read on.

Orochimaru failed?!

With the resurrected First and Second Hokage, the One-Tailed Beast, Obito Uchiha (an S-rank rogue ninja), and two ninja villages, how could they still fail?

Thinking of the First Hokage, no, just thinking of the First Hokage's defeated opponent—Uchiha Madara, Onoki felt that his life was already full of shadows.

Who else in Konoha could possibly defeat the First Hokage?

At the end of the article, a name was mentioned—Naruto Uzumaki!

For more specific details, see the fourth edition!

"Ha, just as I expected! The Ninja World Daily will stop at nothing to promote Konoha and that brat Naruto Uzumaki! They'll make up any lie they want! A 12-year-old kid is being touted as being able to defeat the First Hokage, it's hilarious!"

As a shadow, Onoki didn't have any particular feelings about this kind of newspaper.

This kind of ridiculous newspaper is better left unread!

Onoki took another gulp of tea, intending to throw it away, but curiosity compelled him to inexplicably open the fourth edition.

"puff--!!!"

As soon as he opened the newspaper, Onoki spat out all the tea he had just drunk.

The God of Ninjas – Naruto Uzumaki

The key point isn't the title, it's the picture!

A blond-haired boy floated in the air, his eyes silently looking down on the world. With a casual wave of his right hand, a huge pure white beam of light pierced through the heavens and the earth!

"This terrifying beam of light, covering such a wide area, is actually my Dust Release?" Onoki was shocked and speechless, his mouth agape in disbelief, not even noticing the old injury in his waist flaring up!

At that moment, he felt that his ninja worldview of the past few decades had been overturned!

Having just witnessed Orochimaru's ninjutsu for reviving the First Hokage, he was somewhat worried that Konoha might use it in the war.

Now it's all right, no need to worry anymore.

Because there is a young man who is even stronger than the First Hokage who is still alive!

These damn young people!

Chapter 113 I support Naruto Uzumaki becoming Hokage

Hokage Building, High-Level Council Chamber.

Today's council chamber is a gathering of talents, with all attendees being elite Konoha Jonin.

In the corner, Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and Might Guy naturally huddled together.

As soon as the four of them stood still, Asuma, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, nudged Kakashi's shoulder in an ambiguous way:

"Hey Kakashi, tell me, how did you get Naruto to master Ice Release and Dust Release? Give your old classmate a sneak peek!"

Asma's eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

He doesn't have high expectations; he doesn't expect the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to become monsters like Naruto, but it would be fine if they reached the level of Sasuke and Sakura!

Instantly, Kurenai and Might Guy locked their expectant gazes onto Kakashi!

Naruto? They learned about him after that day.

A notorious loser at the Ninja Academy, he only trained with Kakashi for half a year, but his strength improved by leaps and bounds!

If he were the only one, he could be considered an anomaly, but the fact that the entire Team 7 made such rapid progress is undoubtedly thanks to Kakashi!

Feeling the three scorching gazes, Kakashi's dead fish eyes wanted to roll completely white.

Would you believe me if I said I was slacking off the whole time?

Finally, under the "friendly" siege of the three, Kakashi signed a "contract of servitude": to take turns giving special lectures in their class! Only then did he barely escape.

"Did you see that?"

Asmanu nudged the cigarette dangling from his lips, gesturing to the towering figure in the corner of the council chamber, and lowered his voice, saying, "There shouldn't be any doubt that Jiraiya-sama will be there in person, right?"

Matt Kai looked in that direction, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"It's Lord Jiraiya!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and his fists clenched unconsciously. "He's one of the legendary Sannin! He's my role model from my youth! If he were to become Hokage, it would be the most popular choice!"

Kakashi, who was aware of the situation, glanced at Jiraiya's figure with his deadpan eyes, his lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.
