Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Konoha 47th year.

On the forest path on the border of the Land of Fire, a thick layer of fallen leaves had accumulated.

When you step on it, it makes a soft "rustling" sound.

Minato Namikaze's team had just completed a C-rank mission and were on their way back to the village.

"Kakashi, couldn't you have waited for me?!"

Obito Uchiha, his hands on his knees, his lungs burning, gasped for breath as he chased after the figure far ahead of him.

Kakashi Hatake didn't turn his head, his short, silver-white hair drawing a cold arc in the wind.

"Those who break the rules have no right to complain."

"I was just helping an old lady carry her things! What's the big deal? Helping others is a fine tradition of Konoha!"

"During the mission, any unforeseen actions could bring unforeseen risks. This is the rule."

Kakashi's tone was so calm and even, as if he were reciting the ninja code.

Nohara Rin smiled helplessly between the two, jogged a few steps, and handed Obito a water bottle.

"Alright, alright, Obito-kun, have some water first."

Obito reluctantly took the water bottle, gulped down several mouthfuls, and muttered under his breath.

"Honestly, you're always quoting rules, you have absolutely no humanity. Are you a robot?"

He suddenly thought of something, as if he had found a weapon to fight back, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"Speaking of which, that guy Sakuya Chigen is five years older than us, but he's still a genin. He's the real bottom-of-the-barrel guy who doesn't take the rules seriously!"

The title "Super Repeat Student" is well-known throughout Konoha.

Upon hearing this name, Kakashi paused almost imperceptibly.

A scene flashed through his mind.

It was a figure wielding a knife alone in a corner of the training ground.

There were no spectators, no companions, only repeated slashes and the lightning-fast blade that made even him tremble.

That's definitely not the kind of power a "bottom of the class" could possess.

"Obito, don't talk about your seniors so casually."

Nohara Rin gently advised.

Obito felt a strange sense of kinship with Sakuya Sengen, as if he had found his tribe.

"No way! I think Senior Qianxuan is amazing. To not advance for five years straight, that's a talent in itself!"

Kakashi didn't say anything more, but simply quickened his pace.

He couldn't see through that man.

……

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

Shuo Ye Qianxuan stood in front of his desk, his expression indifferent, as if he were not the one who had just escaped death.

He still carried the dust of his mission and a faint smell of blood.

All he wants to do now is finish the report as soon as possible, go home, lie down, and count the patterns on the ceiling.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe and exhaled a long puff of white smoke.

"Qianxuan, thank you for your hard work this time."

"Just lucky."

Qianxuan's answer was concise and to the point, not bothering to say a single extra word.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the young man before him, his eyes filled with admiration and a hint of barely perceptible regret.

He had so little chakra that he could hardly be a qualified ninja, yet he survived countless life-or-death missions by relying on his self-created secret techniques and superb swordsmanship.

This kind of mentality and perseverance is far beyond what people of the same age can match.

"Your secret techniques have improved quite a bit, haven't they?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly.

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to escape unscathed with only such minor injuries when facing an attack from three Iwagakure Chunin."

Qianxuan's eyelids twitched, but his face remained expressionless.

The old man knows everything.

He just wanted to finish reporting his mission as soon as possible and go home to relax.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took in his subtle reactions and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, the village won't covet your secret techniques. The village has seen all your efforts."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone became serious.

"After discussing with the advisors and elders, I have decided to promote you to Chunin as an exception."

Qian Xuan suddenly raised his head, and for the first time, an expression of "astonishment" appeared on his face.

Chunin?

Doesn't that mean the difficulty of the mission will increase dramatically and the mortality rate will soar?

Wages haven't increased by much, but the risks of working yourself to the bone have multiplied several times over.

Do you want this good fortune?

He opened his mouth, intending to politely decline this "generous gift" with an excuse such as "I am not capable enough and I am ashamed to fail the village's kindness."

"Lord Hokage, I..."

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Minato Namikaze walked in with his three disciples.

"Lord Hokage, we're back to report on our mission."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the three boys behind Minato.

"Minato, you've come at the perfect time."

He glanced at Qianxuan beside him, then looked at the silver-haired boy at the front of the Water Gate class.

Kakashi Hatake stepped forward, his expression calm.

"Lord Hokage, I am applying to take the Jonin promotion exam."

Upon hearing this, both Obito and Rin showed expressions of surprise.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not surprised at all; he looked at Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, what's your opinion?"

"Kakashi already possesses sufficient strength and judgment; I approve his application."

Minato Namikaze answered with a smile.

"it is good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the seal from the table and stamped it on a document.

"Then, you will be his examiner."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Shuo Ye Qianxuan, who seemed to wish he could disappear on the spot, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Furthermore, in order to encourage the younger generation and to test the true strength of our 'Special Genin,' Sakuya Chigen's Special Chunin Promotion Examination will be held on the same day as Hatake Kakashi's Jonin Examination."

The air froze instantly.

Obito's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He looked at Kakashi, then at the legendary "super repeater," his mind a little blank.

Are "super repeaters" and "super geniuses" going to compete on the same stage?

Is Grandpa Naruto still half asleep today?

Kakashi's gaze also fell on Qianxuan, his exposed eye filled with scrutiny.

Qianxuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

He felt his blood pressure soaring.

All he wants to do right now is find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or stab the Third Hokage.

In the end, he managed to squeeze out a single word through gritted teeth.

"……yes."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Qianxuan disappeared around the street corner at top speed, his back view as if a raging flood was behind him.

Inside the office, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze remained.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have been committing more and more combat power recently."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe again and took a deep drag.

"Intelligence indicates that they have joined forces."

Minato Namikaze's expression also turned serious, and his golden hair appeared somewhat dim in the indoor lighting.

"So that's why you're in such a hurry to promote Kakashi and Qian Xuanjun? Using this method..."

"Yes, Konoha needs more power, and it needs heroes."

Just then, a cold voice came from the shadows of the office.

"Hiruzen, you're still so naive."

Danzo Shimura, leaning on her cane, slowly emerged from the darkness, her eye, not covered by bandages, gleaming with a cold light of ambition.

"Do you think our enemies are only Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply.

"Danzo, what do you mean?"

Danzo sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"My 'roots' have just received intelligence."

He paused, savoring the serious expressions on their faces.

"The Mist Village has already made contact with the other three major ninja villages."

"What?!"

Minato Namikaze's pupils suddenly contracted.

"In other words, all four major ninja villages..."

The four major ninja villages launched a joint invasion.

Is the Third Shinobi World War about to reach its most devastating moment?
