I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Although he didn't finish speaking, both Shikamaru and Ino recalled that memory.

That guy once annihilated the Sarutobi clan in a fit of rage!

However, because it involved the Hokage's clan, the matter was suppressed so much that even Shikamaru for a while forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, it was mentioned casually by the goofy Choji.

In the exchange of glances, the three of them suddenly reached a consensus.

He then immediately used the pretext of collecting the scroll and submitting a death consent form to linger next to several senior Konoha proctors...

After all, their instructor is from the Sarutobi clan!

[And that was the one who defeated their teacher!!]

Chapter 471 Oh? You're still using that surname, Sasuke?

"Oh, it's Naruto."

Following the voices that rang out from the crowd, Ara quickly found the blond boy who had called him.

However, judging from the tone of his voice, the familiar feeling of not having seen each other for a long time was gone, and it was more like a bland greeting of an old friend meeting again.

This change began with a meeting three months ago.

Following the trajectory of history, Naruto Uzumaki had already found his most important mentor, Iruka Umino, and formed Team Kakashi after graduation.

His bond and affection for Konoha and the people of this village will only grow stronger.

Therefore, after this 'game,' the two of them will inevitably become strangers, or even enemies.

The Land of Hot Springs is preparing for war;

The land of fields is preparing for war;

The Bear Kingdom is preparing for war.

The airspace is preparing for war...

The forces that are linked together around it are all preparing for the upcoming war!

This is something that's already inevitable!

"I didn't expect you to have become a qualified ninja. Congratulations."

Looking at the little nine-tailed fox who had pushed through the crowd and stood in front of him, he continued to exchange polite words.

However, even the "Congratulations" sounded so formulaic and bland.

Naruto Uzumaki, in a state of elation, probably didn't notice the change in the tone of the person in front of him. Instead, he raised his right hand to adjust the Konoha headband he wore on his forehead and answered confidently and proudly:

"Hey, of course."

"However, since you, Ara, are also participating in this trial, then let's meet in the finals."

He immediately issued a declaration of challenge.

It is an encouragement and inspiration to the young people in front of me, and also to myself.

"I won't hold back then, you know."

"Recently, I've developed an incredibly powerful ninjutsu!"

Seemingly feeling that her aura wasn't strong enough, Little Nine-Tailed Fox added more.

That confident attitude, coupled with the sunlight falling on his face, gave him a radiant glow.

He was not crushed by life, by curses, or by hostility; in the end, he found meaning in his existence and built bonds.

If the Fourth Hokage were still in power, this kid would definitely be living a better life.

Perhaps they can become true friends.

Huang's thoughts were momentarily confused, but he quickly dispelled such fantasies.

"I've heard my clansmen mention it; it seems to be called the 'Seduction Technique'?"

"However, that won't work on me."

Listening to the little guy in front of him boasting confidently, Huang noticed the word 'creation' mentioned in his words.

【Seduction Technique】, this should be the strongest ninjutsu that runs through the entire story, right?

Moreover, there are successors.

"!"

Having his secret exposed in public caused Naruto's face to turn bright red.

"no no!"

"Absolutely not!!"

"decisive battle,"

"You'll witness it when the final battle begins!!"

"So, we mustn't be eliminated in this second assessment."

Naruto Uzumaki, his face flushed, frantically denied it and issued a preemptive challenge.

At the same time, seemingly to dispel the awkwardness of the situation, he decisively changed the subject.

"Wild, are they your companions this time?"

As she spoke, the little nine-tailed fox shifted its gaze to the girl with long black hair.

“I remember, your name is, your name is Izumi, Uchiha Izumi.”

"Right?"

He searched his memory diligently and finally found the girl's name among the few remaining fond memories.

Many years ago, one noon, the three of them ate a bowl of hot ramen together at Ichiraku Ramen.

Although there was almost no interaction throughout the entire process.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, Naruto-kun."

In response, Uchiha Izumi simply and casually greeted him.

Because it is something that can be sensed.

I sensed the alienation that Huang displayed.

Considering the clashes that will soon erupt between the family and the village, maintaining distance or even severing ties now is undoubtedly the best approach.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Sister Quan, you're still so beautiful."

In his response, Naruto Uzumaki became unusually restrained and serious, showing none of his usual mischievousness.

He then turned his attention to the third member of the team.

"Kurama Yakumo".

"my name."

As if sensing the probing gaze of the former, the girl standing on the left side of the desolate place introduced herself directly.

The girl's voice was very gentle, like soft cotton candy, but apart from that gentleness, what you could really sense was the confidence hidden in her tone.

A confidence to compete with the geniuses present!

The Kurama clan has been silent for many years now, hasn't it?

[Then, it's time to step back onto the stage of the ninja world.]

If you're willing, come with me tomorrow.

Of course, you can also choose to refuse.

These were the words the boy in front of her said to her last night after knocking on the door.

The mere phrase, "It's time for the Kurama clan to return to the ninja stage," stirred his calm mind to new heights.

A certain belief in my heart became even stronger.

As part of Konoha, as an ancient clan that has contributed countless efforts and made great contributions to Konoha.

However, when they fell from grace, they did not receive the support they deserved as veterans and meritorious officials. Instead, they were simply assigned a piece of land far from the political and power centers as their clan territory.

Kurama Yakumo didn't know how to judge whether this approach was right or wrong.

After all, the rules of the ninja world are based on self-interest.

However, the help he didn't receive in Konoha began to gradually improve after he met the person in front of him.

Ido's expulsion, his gradually recovering health, and the family's promise to return to the ninja world stage!

Which once-glorious ninja clan, which powerful family that has survived to this day, is truly willing to sink into oblivion and be permanently buried?

But Konoha,

Konoha, for which their clan had given so much, had received nothing in return.

Not even the simplest promise was made.

When needed, they are treated like brothers; when not needed, they are discarded and ignored.

This is the typical fate of a fallen aristocratic family like theirs.

Of course, with Kurama Yakumo's intelligence, he naturally understood the deeper meaning behind the other party's words. Once he chose to go along with them, it would mean completely going against the will of the current Konoha leadership.

There was no turning back.

Therefore, that person even provided a negative option.

but.

"I am willing."

Kurama Yakumo stared straight into the man's black eyes, and his answer came without the slightest hesitation.

The reason is quite simple.
