Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

(Minato Namikaze: Congratulations Naruto!!)

(Kakashi Hatake: ...) Nobody cares whether my doll lives or dies, does he?

[14L: I really want the Tailed Beast plush toy gift pack! It should include Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chōmyō, Gyūki, and Kurama!]

Throughout the ninja world, the tailed beasts, whether imprisoned within a Jinchūriki or not, all opened their eyes at the same time.

As they looked at the string of names appearing in the sky, the Tailed Beasts unanimously recalled the Sage of Six Paths' prophecy: one day, a blond, blue-eyed child would appear, laughing and calling out the names of the Tailed Beasts.

Has the prophecy come true?

Has the situation of mutual hatred between tailed beasts and humans changed in the future?

They neither knew nor understood, because so much time had passed that they had almost forgotten the Sage of Six Paths' prophecy.

Even now, their hearts are still filled with hatred.

The ninjas were dazzled by the sheer number of names! Were they all names of tailed beasts? They were so hard to read.

"So these are all the names of the tailed beasts?" a ninja asked in a low voice. It was the first time he had ever heard that tailed beasts had names.

His companion scoffed, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred and disgust. "So what if they are? Don't forget how despicable the Tailed Beasts are."

“That’s true,” the ninja said, his face breaking out in a cold sweat as he recalled the Nine-Tails’ rampage more than a decade ago, fear creeping into his eyes. “Tailed beasts are the most disgusting things, that demon fox…”

At this point, the ninja suddenly shut his mouth, because the fox demon boy they despised and rejected was their hero, the son of the Fourth Hokage.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment, and no one talked about the tailed beasts anymore.

However, it's different in other ninja villages. When the tailed beasts are mentioned, their negative emotions instantly surge up.

In their eyes, the tailed beasts are evil beings condemned by everyone, natural disasters similar to earthquakes, droughts, snowstorms, and floods!

(Hashirama Senju: The tailed beasts all have names. It's such a pity I never really learned about them back then.)

(Kurama: Hmph, of course you wouldn't understand. Humans are all like this, treating us as the embodiment of fear and hatred. I hate humans, especially Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and Namikaze Minato! Once I gain my freedom, I will destroy your Konoha Village!)

(Shukaku: Kurama is still so irritable.)

(Tabira: I hate humans too.)

(Isobu: Human lifespan is too short; it's just a matter of me taking a nap.)

(Sun Wukong: Humans won't bother remembering our names; they only use us as tools of war.)

(King Mu: I hate Hashirama Senju for capturing me.)

(Rhinoceros Dog: Dislike +1)

(Chongming: Dislike +2)

(Gyuki: Sigh~ Although I'm used to Bee's rap, I have to admit that most humans and tailed beasts can't get along peacefully. Well, Hashirama Senju was really despicable for actively capturing us and trapping us inside human bodies.)

(Hashirama Senju: QAQ)

Hashirama, who has always been respected and loved by others, is being hated by so many people—no, by so many beasts—for the first time.

(Uchiha Madara: They're just a bunch of beasts, don't take yourselves too seriously.)

[15L: Friends, have you logged into the game yet?]

[16L: What the hell? The server crashed, there are way too many people here!]

[17L: It's under maintenance. I didn't expect so many players on the first day o(╥﹏╥)o.]

[18L: Ninjas from other villages are also logging in, so there are many of them. Get ready, tech guys!]

[19L: I logged in. At the start, you choose your identity: civilian, ordinary ninja, bloodline ninja, or ninja with secret techniques.]

[20L: Of course, I'd choose the Bloodline Ninja! They're definitely super strong.]

[21L: If they were matched with an Uchiha who possessed the Sharingan, wouldn't they be invincible?]

[22L: Is it really that simple? The idea that bloodline determines future achievements and identity determines the future seems incompatible with the Sixth Hokage's current philosophy. I don't think an officially-sponsored game would have such a value orientation.]

[Player 1, 23rd floor: The comment above makes sense, I choose the commoner option.]

[24L: If I choose the Uchiha clan, will I become the main villain in the game?]

[25L: Very likely, hahaha.]

[26L: It's also possible someone will gouge out my eyes (shrug.jpg)]

“It’s an immersive game, that’s interesting.” As a leading figure in the arts, Jiraiya was naturally well-informed. He had seen similar hypotheses in some books, and although they weren’t games, they were not far off.

"Has Jiraiya-sama ever seen a game like this?" Shikaku asked, already keenly aware of the value behind the game.

Whether in politics or economics, this kind of thing, which is almost universally known throughout the ninja world, is the easiest place to export Konoha's ideology.

Jiraiya chuckled lightly, receiving the gazes of the Second Hokage and the other clan leaders. "Isn't this just a child's game of playing ninja?"

"Kids playing ninja games?" Everyone present was a little confused for a moment, their brains not yet able to process the connection between the two.

On the contrary, Shikaku, recalling the games that Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, and other children played when they were young, suddenly realized, "This is an upgraded version of ninja role-playing games."

Jiraiya nodded. "Yes, yes, but their games are definitely not played in real life. Judging from the forums, it's probably some kind of technology we don't know about."

"You can randomly choose different identities and then be matched with different storylines... Hmm, that sounds interesting. I'm tempted to play it too."

Jiraiya sighed, "There are so many forms of entertainment in the future. Why didn't I live to see that time? What a pity."

[Player 27L: After choosing my identity, I arrived at... wait, a timeline! Wow, the Warring States period! From the founding of Konoha to World War I! From the end of World War I to World War II! From the end of World War II to World War III! From the end of World War III to World War IV! This game is amazing! It can open so many timelines!! I'm getting more and more excited!]

[Player 28L: I got to that point too. I chose the period between the end of the Third Shinobi World War and the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and then I landed in Konoha year 51. Ah, it's the Nine-Tails' rampage. Ah—I died.]

[29L: A moment of silence for the person upstairs.]

[30L: Wow, that's exciting! Does the instance start immediately after selecting an identity and time?]

[Player 2, 31L: This is what happened to me. It was completely unexpected; I wasn't given a chance to level up at all. The moment the dungeon opened, I died instantly, killed by Kurama's claws.]

[32L: Kurama's claws can slap people? Aren't they only for kissing?]

[33L: The person upstairs is a primary school student. Their view of tailed beasts is too biased. The Nine-Tails' rampage is a nightmare for many people.]

[Player 2, 34L: Indeed, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage dungeon is so well recreated! I just fell in and saw the screen full of giant beast eyes, it scared me so much my hand shook, and then I died.]

[35L: I think that's probably the meaning of this game—to let people experience real history through vivid scenes and remember the profound lessons history has left behind.]

[36L: I think the game developers might even include some school teachers.]

[37L: hhhhhh, does that mean after playing this game, you don't need to look at textbooks anymore, and you'll get a perfect score on your history quizzes?]

[38L: On the other hand, people familiar with history might level up faster in this game! They'll be glued to their history textbooks!]

[39L: The person upstairs is smart! Immediately order middle school history books!]

"Remember history through games?" Tobirama paused for a moment, then his eyes showed admiration. The person who came up with this idea was truly a genius. It was probably Kakashi again. He always seemed to have so many new ideas. He was truly a creative Hokage.

(Hashirama Senju: I really want to play too QAQ I wish I could become Madara's brother in the game.)

(Madara Uchiha: I'll have Tobirama research space-time ninjutsu that leads to the future, and then I'll burn a game for you. But bro, forget it. The Uchiha clan doesn't have a fool like you.)

(Uchiha Izuna: Madara's brother is me!)

(Tobirama Senju: ......)

(Senju Butsami: Why not just develop a similar game?)

(Tobirama Senju: It's impossible. The current environment is different from the future.)

[Player 35L: I chose a ninja with a secret technique and was matched with a Sand Village ninja. When I was dropped into the Sand Village, Shukaku was howling under the moon. The visual effects were really realistic, and my first reaction was to be scared, but the image of the teacup tanuki is too deeply ingrained in my mind, hahaha, I quickly came to my senses and wanted to rush over and pet him! You fat tanuki, you were born to be kissed bald by your mommy!]

[36L: Hahahaha, Teacup Tanuki, Shukaku would definitely go berserk if he heard you say that.]

[37L: The teacup raccoon is so cute, but I prefer the chubby big raccoon! I want to take it home!]

"So what exactly is the Teacup Tanuki?" Gaara asked, posing a profound question. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't trying to understand Shukaku; he was just curious.

Why is Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, which is feared by everyone now, seen as an adorable kitten by future ninjas?

"Who knows!" Gaara had barely finished speaking when Shukaku inside him went berserk, its shrill voice almost piercing eardrums.

But this time, Gaara didn't sense any killing intent, nor did he have any bloodthirsty impulses.

That's strange...

[Player 38L: Hahahaha, old friends, guess what I'm doing right now?]

[39L: Tell me quickly! Stop keeping me in suspense!]

[OP: No way, don't tell me you're the player who stole Shukaku!]

[Player 40L: That's right! It's me!]

[41L: I'm speechless, hahaha. Do you even know you're trending? No, not you, to be precise, it's Shukaku, hahaha.]

[OP: #Shukaku was kidnapped, is it a sign of moral decay or human depravity? Click to see the One-Tail's swearing scene# hhhhhh, Shukaku's little mouth is so sharp with its insults.]

[Player 1 (42L): It's incredibly noisy, I'm almost deaf. Luckily, I didn't activate my five senses empathy mode.]

Chapter 78 Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts Arc (3)

[Player 2, 43L: I stubbornly activated Empathy o(╥﹏╥)o, and when I was swatted away by Nine-Tails, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and experienced the taste of death.]

[44L: You can't pet Shukaku or absorb its fluffy fur without empathy!]

[OP (45L): Did you guys see the trending topics?!]

[46L: Holy crap! There's a lucky player here! Someone got matched with Naruto!!]

[47L: What?! Who's so awesome?!]

[Player 48L: You're so lucky! I'm so envious!]

[Player 2, 49L: Oh my god, I got the male lead's script right from the start! Which player is it? Share some of my luck!]

"Me?" Naruto stared wide-eyed from outside the sky, his deep blue, translucent pupils filled with confusion. "What do you mean?"

Sasuke pondered for a moment, "It's probably role-playing, where someone called a player plays you in a game."

"Ah!" Naruto exclaimed, suddenly realizing something, and slammed his fist into his palm. "It's a ninja role-playing game!"

"more or less."

"What? You actually think it's a good thing to be able to play me?" The light in his eyes dimmed, and a shadow was cast under his eyelashes.
