Wait, that's not right! There was also an incredibly powerful Wood Release technique that instantly captured Pain... What was that again...?

Outside the classroom, seeing Naruto almost crying, Kakashi chuckled rather unkindly, "Oh dear, it seems the special training was completely useless."

Sasuke, on the other hand, was frantically writing.

Asma, who was next to him, asked curiously while smoking, "Who set the content of this year's written test? It was too easy."

Those are common sense to them.

Red Dot nodded. "Aren't they testing cheating skills this year? That's unusual."

Kakashi Hatake recalled the Second Hokage's words and smiled, a crescent moon appearing on his face. "He probably wanted the children to get used to written exams from now on, but he didn't restrict cheating. Pay close attention..."

In the classroom, cheating methods kept emerging. Some people used puppies to pass messages, some used insects, and some even rolled their eyes.

As long as it wasn't too outrageous, the proctoring chunin pretended not to see it.

"Cheating is also a skill, but according to the second generation, cheating will be completely eliminated in the future. It's too late to change this year, so we have no choice but to leave it at that."

If cheating is eradicated this year, at least two-thirds of the candidates will be eliminated in the written exam.

"The investigation into intelligence transmission and intelligence gathering will probably involve separate checkpoints."

Kakashi's words made the ninjas ponder. It seemed that the Kage were planning to reform Konoha, which seemed like a good idea.

"Are you watching this year's Chunin Exams? I wonder if I can join?" Suddenly, someone appeared in the corridor.

The words were gentle and carried a faint smile. When Kakashi saw the person's face, his eyes widened instantly, and he was stunned and at a loss for what to do.

"Yo, Kakashi, long time no see."

......

After finishing the written exam, Naruto felt like his brain was completely drained. When he saw Kakashi-sensei, he immediately rushed over and whined, "Kakashi-sensei! The questions were so hard!"

Kakashi sighed and ruffled the other's blond head with his large hand, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the spot where the figure that had just disappeared had stood.

His face showed a hint of loss and bewilderment.

His gaze softened as he looked at Naruto. "Well, then take a good rest. The second exam is tomorrow, and it will be even harder than today."

"Eh????"

Naruto stared blankly. "Sasuke, Sakura, let's analyze the question now, just like that screen!"

That's right, he's bad at the game but has a huge addiction to it, all he wants to do is check the answers!

But Kakashi suddenly stopped him, saying, "Naruto, why don't you go home first? Maybe there's a surprise waiting for you there."

Chapter 122 Transitional Chapter: Minato has been imprisoned!

Naruto ran home as fast as he could, various images flashing through his mind. He was so excited, so excited! What surprises would it be?

Is it incredibly powerful ninjutsu? Or is it super delicious ramen?

It's such a beautiful gift!

He finally stood at his doorstep, opened it with a click, and then saw an absolutely unbelievable scene.

The lights were on in the small house, and all the clothes and food scraps that had been scattered around had been tidied up. The floor was spotless.

A steaming meal was laid out on the table, and a person with golden hair sat beside it. The person turned around and gave him a gentle yet slightly surprised smile. "Naruto, welcome home."

"You, you, you, you, you..." Naruto stared wide-eyed, standing there dumbfounded, his brain's processor seemingly fried, unable to process the shocking scene before him.

With his blond hair and gentle smile, he should have had the same deep blue eyes as him, but now they were black with no whites, and his face was covered with fine lines of mud.

"You...you are..."

After learning his parents' names, he searched for many traces of them. Kakashi showed him Class 7, which his father led, and he also found a photo album in his father's old house.

There was even his presence above, though he was just a tiny embryo.

"I'm your dad, sorry, I haven't formally introduced myself yet..." Before Minato could finish speaking, Naruto rushed up like a cannonball and smashed his head into his stomach like a hammer.

It almost smashed him to pieces.

"Naruto..." He had just called his son's name when he noticed the boy clutching his clothes, his shoulders trembling, tears streaming down his face.

Minato Namikaze raised his hand and gently stroked his son's head and back. "Naruto, I'm sorry, Dad is late."

......

the next day.

Naruto rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up, feeling like he had a really, really good dream last night.

Is the dream over now? What a pity...

I got up with a yawn, only to see two people sitting in the living room.

Last night, his golden-haired father and Kakashi-sensei appeared in his dream!

"!!!" So it wasn't a dream after all!

Seeing Naruto's dazed expression, Minato mentally ran through a series of comments: 'So cute!' 'Naruto is so cute!'

After pulling his son close, Kakashi hugged and rubbed him, and Naruto snuggled into his father's arms like a little baby. The sight of the two of them being so affectionate made Kakashi's eyes hurt.

However, I was actually happy for them. I don't know what will happen to the Kage after they are imprisoned, but at least for now, they still have time to accompany each other.

"Hey, Kakashi, want to get a little cuddly too? Come here." The student's personality had changed so drastically after growing up that Minato couldn't resist teasing him.

Kakashi retreated in terror, pleading, "Spare me, Fourth Hokage..."

"It's you, teacher. You haven't changed much, have you? But I'm asking you to take care of Naruto. I saw some vegetables in the fridge. They're expired, but you gave them to me, right?"

There's also a Kakashi-style doll, the one Naruto hugs while sleeping at night.

Hmm... my son's doll doesn't even look like him, it's a little bittersweet.

"Some of them were sent by Iruka, but Naruto never eats them." Kakashi began to complain in front of Minato, criticizing Naruto for being a picky eater.

Naruto scratched his face and head anxiously, "Kakashi-sensei! I'm trying to eat vegetables!" Even if it was just a little bit.

"That's right, Kakashi-sensei, I heard from the Perverted Sage that he's started gathering material for his new novel! You..."

"Ahem." Kakashi quickly interrupted him, "I don't really enjoy reading Jiraiya-sama's novels."

Naruto pouted: "Liar~~" Come on, let's hurt each other, I want you to expose my weaknesses!

Minato Namikaze wore a warm smile as he watched the two bicker, the light in his eyes almost overflowing through his dim Edo Tenseigan.

......

In short, today is the second session of the Chunin Exams.

All five great ninja villages sent genin to participate in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha, making the original Forest of Death seem very narrow. So the First Hokage planted trees like crazy on the outskirts of the forest.

Instantly, the area of ​​the Death Forest expanded, and the trees planted there would bloom flowers and spew poisonous gas if touched!

And so the Forest of Death became even more terrifying!

Naruto stood outside the Forest of Death, trembling with fear, but in his mind he was thinking, "So the First Hokage's best ninjutsu was Wood Release: Tree Planting Technique!"

Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who had come to join Team 7, both saw the person accompanying Naruto. The person was wearing a mask and looked somewhat like an Anbu member.

But when did Naruto become so familiar with the Anbu ninjas?

When Naruto's friends arrived, Minato patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Naruto, good luck. I'll be waiting for you outside."

"Mmm-hmm!" With her father's encouragement, she seemed to lose her fear all of a sudden! Her bright blue eyes shone, and her smile was as radiant as a sunflower.

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha glanced thoughtfully at the masked man who had walked out, and a guess formed in his mind.

The examiner for the second round, Tobirama Senju, appeared. "Then, the second round of the Chunin Exams shall officially begin!"

--------

Konoha 79 years.

In the Hokage's office, Kakashi was diligently reviewing official documents, while on either side of him, a sleepy blond head was dozing off, and another was staring blankly at the documents, seemingly unsure how to proceed.

Kakashi, who occasionally looked up at his student, couldn't help but sigh. Did the next Hokage really have to be chosen from these two?

"Sixth Hokage." Nara Shikamaru approached and handed him an investigation report. "The abnormal spacetime fluctuation has been investigated."

"They mainly appeared at Konoha TV station and staff dormitories."

"Is that so..." Kakashi spread out the report and quickly glanced at it, getting a general understanding of the situation. He had already ruled out the possibility that it was someone with space-time abilities who was behind it, so if that's the case...

“It could be a rare bloodline limit, and the other party might not even be aware of their own bloodline awakening.” He raised an eyebrow, and suddenly remembered a stone with space-time chakra that he had encountered while on a mission outside Konoha after the Fourth Shinobi World War.

That stone is powerful; it can see things that are invisible to this era and the world... So, will this ninja who has awakened a strange bloodline also be able to see something different?

Kakashi: "Please continue to investigate potential suspects. Thank you for your hard work, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru nodded. "However, the amplitude of the fluctuations is getting smaller and smaller, making it difficult to capture. It will probably take some time."

"It's okay, as long as we find it."

Meanwhile, in the staff dormitory of Konoha TV, a new employee sat in front of his computer, yawning, and opened a game forum.
