I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

This is indeed a major event; no matter how it gets out, it will be a scandal.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

"..." Kakashi.

"So, aren't you surprised?" Kakashi asked curiously.

He was also greatly surprised when he learned it from the third generation.

But feeling powerless to change it, he kept it a secret.

However, judging from Kitahara Kaede's expression, he didn't seem surprised.

"Are you surprised?" Kitahara Kaede asked. "Don't you think Naruto's face looks a lot like the Fourth Hokage's?"

"..." Kakashi.

Oh too.

Naruto and Minato do look similar.

Kakashi had expected Kitahara Kaede to be greatly surprised, but to his dismay, the reaction was completely unsatisfactory.

However, he still hurriedly asked for instructions.

"So, shall we announce Naruto's identity now?"

Now that we know Naruto's identity, and the Third Hokage and other high-ranking officials have been ousted by the Second Hokage, then... Naruto's identity can be revealed.

“Not for now,” Kitahara Kaede said. “Naruto has been treated as a demon fox for so long.”

"He has only just accepted the news that he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Then you tell him that his parents are actually heroes, and he'll be devastated."

"So... let's wait a while and let the fourth generation couple tell him themselves."

"Mmm." Kakashi nodded. "Eh, you mean... the Fourth Hokage and his wife?"

“Of course, we’ll bring this model couple back to life,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"You resurrected the ninjas who caused the Nine-Tails' rampage, but you forgot about the Fourth Hokage and his wife, who contributed the most. Don't you think that's a pity?"

“But,” Kakashi hesitated, “if Minato-sensei comes out, then these ninjas will be very vocal in their support of him.”

"And now you're the fifth generation..."

"So……"

Kakashi is worried that Minato will take away his voice.

After all, he and Kitahara Kaede were both newbies, while many ninjas were nostalgic.

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Kitahara Kaede said. “Ever since the Second Hokage, Konoha has never worried about its younger ninjas surpassing their predecessors.”

"Only with a continuous stream of outstanding Hokage can the Will of Fire be passed down."

Oh too.

Otherwise, there would only be a fifth generation and no sixth generation.

Kakashi realized for the first time how insignificant he was.

The layout is small.

"Furthermore, if you're worried about the Fourth Hokage stealing the spotlight, then just do an even better job yourself."

“So…” Kitahara Kaede paused for a moment.

"So?" Kakashi asked curiously.

"Therefore, I have decided to resurrect most of the ninjas who perished in the village attacked by the Nine-Tails tomorrow."

"Then……"

He declared, "Declare war on the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Declaring war on Kumogakure and eliminating one of the five great ninja villages that had remained unchanged since the first Hokage and were constantly embroiled in conflict... this achievement is indeed something that the Second, Third, and Fourth Hokage could not surpass.

and so.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Third Raikage - A]: Ah... my Hidden Cloud Village, my Hidden Cloud Village!

[Third Raikage - A]: Ah... my Hidden Cloud Village, my Hidden Cloud Village!

[Third Raikage - A]: Ah... my Hidden Cloud Village, my Hidden Cloud Village!

The Third Raikage was in a terrible mood when Kitahara Kaede once again spoke with absolute certainty about destroying Kumogakure.

So I was on the verge of another mental breakdown.

Okay.

Everyone's used to it.

But now nobody pays any attention to him.

Anyway, soon after, the Hidden Cloud Village was gone, and the Raikage was no longer the Raikage.

Minato Namikaze: This is really good news.

[Minato Namikaze]: First of all, I can resurrect Ehina.

[Tobirama Senju]: Yes, and I was deeply moved by his passing down of the Will of Fire.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Isn't this what I passed down?

[Big Pillar, Silly Guy]: We in Konoha aren't afraid of everyone becoming Hokage, but we are worried about not having any outstanding successors.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: Everyone turned out to be excellent.

[Minato Namikaze]: I owe Kitahara-kun another favor.

【Minato Namikaze】: Kitahara-kun is a lifelong friend of the Namikaze family.

then.

After parting ways with Kakashi, Kitahara Kaede returned to her home.

He corrected today's record.

[By granting Sasuke the status of Hokage candidate or the Eighth Hokage, the Uchiha clan could then be put to use.]

[If the Fourth Hokage, Minato, were to be resurrected using Edo Tensei, he would not only obtain half of the Nine-Tails, but his Flying Thunder God Technique would also surpass that of the Second Hokage, making it useful when the Otsutsuki era arrives.]

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

Minato Namikaze: ...

The water gate, which had just been filled with emotion, suddenly became stuck.

then.

Minato Namikaze: Well, I'm used to it.

[Minato Namikaze]: But if there's ever a time when I can really be of use, I'll definitely do my best.

[Big Pillar Silly]: So what is this Otsutsuki era?

[Big Pillar Silly]: @NineTail

[Nine Lama]: You're asking me what I'm doing? I don't know much about it either.

[Big Pillar Silly] @Shouhe, do you know Shouhe?

[Shukaku]: Ha, so the God of Shinobi wants to ask me for guidance? Well then...

[Big Pillar Silly]: So do you know?

[Shukaku]: Of course I don't know.

[Everyone]: Shh—

Everyone shushed Shukaku.

[Tobirama Senju]: Minato, your Flying Thunder God Technique has surpassed mine?

[Minato Namikaze]: Um... well, Second Hokage, are you a little angry?

[Tobirama Senju]: I'm not angry. I just wanted to say, you've surpassed me?

[Minato Namikaze]: Well, actually I modified the Flying Thunder God Technique a bit, turning it into Flying Thunder God Technique II.

Tobirama Senju: Hmph!

Well, everyone sighed a bit about the second generation.

Minato quickly wiped away his sweat.

·······

the next day.

Because of the success of the previous day's Impure World Reincarnation, the remaining families also went to dig up the graves themselves.

After all... no one can resist seeing their deceased ancestors.

The initial thought of not defiling the ashes of our ancestors has long been... abandoned.

So, on the evening of the following day, 3556 Konoha ninja appeared before Kitahara Kaede.

There are 980 Jonin, 2000 Chunin, and the rest are Genin.

It must be said that for the major ninja villages that had suffered heavy losses after several major battles, this single force was terrifying.

Just standing there gives people a strong sense of impact.

Although many people were resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and they were different from real living people, they were looked at by some ignorant villagers, but... this look lasted for less than three minutes.

because.

Most of the people who were resurrected from the reanimated earth were Chunin or Jonin.

Their era was even more brutal than ours, meaning their strength was far greater than the average standard today!

Even if their impure bodies can only use the third or fourth level of their peak strength, it means they are all strong.

Ordinary people don't have that much courage to criticize the strong.

Therefore, without even needing a silencing order, the villagers obediently shut up.

That's really bad behavior.

When Naruto was alive, ordinary villagers dared to mock him, but they didn't dare to utter a sound when faced with these reanimated beings.

Ultimately, it's probably because they think Naruto is weak.

····

"Hey, Kitahara-kun, is this a sign of war?"

"A war?"

"Can you send me too?" Naruto Uzumaki, with his golden hair, asked enthusiastically.

Because of the postponement of the Chunin Exams, Naruto's path to gaining recognition from others has been temporarily cut off.

So if he were assigned to combat, he would hope to be of use and prove himself.

after all.

His companions and teachers all became Hokage, but he... is still nothing.

"We must fight, and destroy the Hidden Cloud Village." Kitahara Kaede was sitting in the Hokage's office, with the alliance agreement between the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village on his left.

There was another empty space, which should be the letter of recognition of Hokage status sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

It seems that Daming hasn't made up his mind yet to send over the consent form.

"but."

Kitahara Kaede said, "Although the Second Hokage's Edo Tensei has appeared..."

"But with so many people attacking the Hidden Cloud Village, we can definitely push through."

"But you also know that textbooks say that the Third Raikage once fought against 10,000 Iwagakure ninjas for three days and three nights before finally dying from exhaustion."
