In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Therefore, Choji and Ino have always cared a lot about Shikamaru's opinion.

Just this time.

"Natsuki-kun is so cute! What should I wear next time we meet? Should I prepare a gift? I can't wait!"

Ino's rosy cheeks were completely oblivious to what Shikamaru was saying.

"Justice, hope, courage! I feel I have them all."

"Upholding justice against evil, I hope to transform into Ultraman and have the courage to fight the Inuzuka family's little puppy."

Choji kept muttering to himself.

"Alright! My teammates have all fallen for it."

Shikamaru helplessly covered his forehead.

Just then, an angry cry suddenly came from ahead.

"I don't want your candy, I want the transformation device. Don't take my transformation device."

"I tried to be nice to you and offered you candy in exchange, but you didn't want it. I'm already being nice with the candy; if you keep arguing, you won't even get the candy."

Everyone looked up.

A ninja wearing an animal mask snatched a toy from a little boy with his right hand and stuffed a handful of candy into his left.

That toy is exactly the same as Choji's Ultraman transformation device.

"What are you doing? Are you robbing me in broad daylight? He already said he doesn't want your candy anymore."

Ino couldn't stand it and questioned loudly.

"Huh? Where did this little brat come from? Get out of the way, this is a dangerous item and must be recycled."

The ninja replied coldly, and a powerful aura immediately swept over us.

The little pigs, deer, and butterflies were so frightened that they took several steps back.

Even the crying little boy was frightened and stopped crying, leaving only sobs.

Sure enough, children are easily frightened. The masked ninja chuckled.

Just as he was about to turn around and use the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave, a childish, angry shout came from behind him again.

"Stop! Please...please give him back the transformation device! It's his hope!"

The voice went from weak to strong, and the last two words, "hope," were uttered with all the strength of the body.

Justice, hope, courage!

Yes, I've encountered this situation several times.

But that vicious ninja always managed to retrieve those transformation devices using various methods.

But I never had the courage to stand up.

That day, Ultraman Zeta single-handedly saved the village, standing out from the crowd.

Does he need a coward?

He does not need it!

"Heh." The masked ninja glanced at the chubby boy who had shouted, deciding not to bother with them anymore. What was the point of getting entangled with children?

But the next moment, his whole body stiffened.

Because in their eyes, the chubby boy also took out a transformation device.

"Very good, one delivered to your door."

"I told you to give it back to him!"

Choji felt his whole body brimming with excitement.

Perhaps it was to bolster his courage, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

The best way to eliminate fear is:

"Transformation!!!"

The sound, as if blessed by an unknown force, spread in all directions.

A dazzling light shot out from the raised transformation device.

At that moment, everyone in the village saw a beam of light shooting straight into the sky...

012: I am the Giant of Light! Choji Akimichi!

The newly built Hokage Building, the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his pipe, looked at the pile of transformation devices on the table, and asked, "What were the test results?"

On the other side, the ANBU member standing respectfully replied, "We recovered a total of 39 transformation devices."

"After testing it on people of three different age groups, there was no reaction in any of them."

"During the process, we disassembled three of them and found that they were just ordinary children's toys."

"It's just that the colors are made a little more refined."

"Furthermore, Lord Danzo's Root organization is also collecting this thing, and along with other lost items, no one has been found to have successfully transformed into it so far!"

Therefore, we can conclude...

"A farce?" Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe on the table. "Take these toys away and destroy them."

"Also, give me a bigger push to find the person who's been playing tricks on the entire Hidden Leaf Village, that Ultraman Zeta."

"Hi!!!"

The ANBU member immediately responded loudly, as he could feel the Third Hokage's anger.

They quickly packed up the toys and disappeared from the Hokage's sight after a puff of smoke.

"Hmph! More and more scoundrels are visiting Konoha lately. Do they really think my reputation as a ninja hero is over?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly walked to the window and looked out at the bustling Konoha.

"Konoha prospered because of my 99% effort and the 1% influence of my teachers. No one, whether it's the Uchiha or the Hyuga clan, can interfere with it."

"It's time to speed things up..."

"Transformation!!!"

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, a loud, mischievous "transformation" sounded, almost choking the Third Hokage who was smoking.

"what happened?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped coughing, straightened up by the windowsill, and looked out the window.

A dazzling beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, came into view.

The next second, it transformed into a giant of light in the form of Ultraman.

"Could...is all of this really true?"

"Oh no, my transformation devices!!!"

……

Within the dazzling pillar of light, a massive flame erupted from Choji Akimichi's body.

He was even lifted into the sky and disappeared into the vast expanse of light and flame.

Bright flames formed a giant humanoid shape, like Susanoo opening a kaleidoscope.

But it is much larger than Susanoo, and its appearance is exactly like Ultraman's.

"I...I really became Ultraman?"

Choji, who was hidden in the chest of the Giant of Light, raised his hands with some surprise.

I found that it was indeed as easy as an extension of my own arm, as if I had been magnified countless times.

High above, looking down at the crowd on the ground, they seemed like mere large insects.

"Ultraman!"

Shikamaru and Ino opened their mouths, still unable to believe the enormous figure before them.

These are their best friends.

This morning we even studied that transformation device together.

Shikamaru has even concluded that it's a toy.

The fact that he immediately transformed into Ultraman is just too mind-blowing.

"Gulu!"

The masked ninja swallowed hard.

Facing the giant of light, he is Alexander!
