Chapter 112 Onoki: WTF, this young man...

Night, training space, Kurama and Naruto's home (66).

The little nine-tailed fox lazily sank into a huge, soft, cream-colored sofa, playing with a small handheld game console with its tiny paws.

The game is called "God of Ninjas," and it's a 2D side-scrolling fighting game similar to "Ninja King."

At this moment, the great Kurama, controlling the majestic "Nine-Tails" character, is pinning the pitiful "Hashirama Senju" against the wall and beating him mercilessly!
"Awooo! Whirlwind Claw! Whirlwind Claw!" Nine-Tailed Fox chanted, its little eyes wide open, sparkling with excitement!

"Wood Release? Block!"

"Behold my ultimate technique: Tailed Beast Ball!!!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a stunning sound effect, Hashirama's health bar was instantly emptied!
"Hahaha!" The Nine-Tails was so proud that the tip of its tail was pointing skyward! "I won again! Hashirama Senju! You were too dangerous! But I've already beaten you 114514 times!"

Whoosh!
With a flash of golden light, Naruto silently appeared back at the hut. Before he could even speak, his ears were tingled by Kurama's triumphant roar.

Its nine tails swayed, with four of them pointing at the front of the handheld console. You didn't even need to look to know that it was using a physical cheat code again!

His lips twitched involuntarily: "Tsk, Little Tanuki, are you torturing the First Generation again? You've played over 100,000 matches, aren't you tired of it yet?"

"Naruto! I already told you not to call her Little Fox!"
"I am Kurama! If all else fails, a big fox or a big raccoon dog will do. Why call me a little raccoon dog? Don't I have any dignity?"

"We're an old married couple, no, we're old friends," Kurama muttered indignantly, quoting the slang he'd learned from Naruto, his cheeks puffed up with anger.

But it was quick to act, choosing the next battle, continuing the Nine-Tails' fight against Hashirama Senju!

"Yes, Little Tanuki! Okay, Little Tanuki!"

Naruto gave a perfunctory reply, then sat down on the sofa and picked up a fluffy tail.

"Little Fox, I have a question for you."

"uh-huh?"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted through its nose, its four tails still moving with lightning speed, without even lifting its eyelids. "Speak quickly if you have something to say, don't delay my defeat of the powerful enemy."

"I've been thinking about the chakra within my body lately,"

Naruto said slowly, his hand still stroking the fox, "I discovered that besides your chakra and my own chakra, there are three other unfamiliar chakras."

Nine-Tailed Fox's claws, which were pressing the direction keys, froze for a mere 0.1 seconds.

"Three shares?"

"Yes, there are three streams. Two of them are connected to the sealing technique that seals you. Do you have any clues?"

"Both are within the sealing technique?"

Two chakras. In an instant, bright yellow hair and dazzling red hair flashed in Kurama's mind, the "Tomato and Egg" duo!

It's them again! Even in death, they treat this old man like a thief!

Naruto is more monstrous than a monster! He was already beating me when I was only 6 years old, and I'm still worried about this little monster!

A surge of nameless anger suddenly welled up inside him!
However, the next second, it met Naruto's clear blue eyes, which were smiling and a little playful.

Kurama instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by Naruto, and his anger dissipated immediately!

It swallowed hard, swallowing non-existent saliva, and nervously scratched its belly with its paws: "Hmph, it's probably the chakra of those one or two people who 'invited' me to jail, right?"

Naruto watched the big fox's incredible ability to instantly cower in fear, and his smile deepened as he nodded.

He was not surprised by the answer at all.

It's probably to prevent himself from being too young and naive, and from being tricked by Kurama into picking the lock, so he left this as a backup plan.

While sealing, he also sealed his own chakra inside; this person's sealing technique is quite skilled.

But this kind of chakra is a one-time use item, unlike Naruto's.

When I have some free time, I'll choose an auspicious time and a place with a stunning view, and personally unlock that 'door' so I can see it. In the meantime, I'll also help the Nine-Tailed Fox regain its 'freedom'.

I bet even the Nine-Tails wouldn't want to go out. The training space is so great! It's spacious, undisturbed, and has plenty of delicious food and fun activities.

But the cage for the Nine-Tails will have to be taken down sooner or later!
"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 country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

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!

The source of this alarmingly accurate intelligence remains a mystery to this day. It was precisely by leveraging the machinations of 'Obito Uchiha' that the Daily Ninja World soared to prominence, 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!
