From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Since the fall of Daming Prefecture, the five major powers and various smaller states have all merged into one.

The government offices, garrison forces, and other departments that are added from time to time in each town are all under the jurisdiction of the General Government Office.

The General Administration of Government's formulation of systems and laws must comply with the results of the expanded meeting.

The expanded meeting was composed of representatives from various regions, among whom those with firm will and a domineering spirit became one of the evaluation criteria.

Thus, the five major powers ceased to exist, leaving only five regions.

At the same time, the five ninja villages, which were once the military forces of the five great nations, naturally lost their significance.

While the number of ninjas was far less than that of ordinary people, they still constituted a portion of the population. Given the people-oriented approach and the influence of ninjutsu, it was natural not to forcibly disband the ninja villages.

The result of the expanded meeting of the five great ninja villages was the establishment of training villages for ninjutsu users.

The Five Kage could obtain one spot at the first expanded meeting, but starting from the second meeting, they had to comply with the powerful assessment standards.

A commanding presence is also the power that allows ordinary people to truly reach the decision-making level after learning new ideas.

Because of this idealism, such an assessment is actually a good thing for the fairness of the meeting.

but……

The end of wars between humans does not mean the end of conflict between humans.

Strength remains the sole criterion.

The Chunin Exams thus became a moment for each village to showcase its strength and capabilities.

Even at this time, the five great ninja villages still launched the joint Chunin Exams.

However, Obito sighed.

The three kids looked at him, and Naruto said, "Dad said that many members of the Hyuga clan have been transferred to the reconnaissance team, and there are also a lot of sensory ninjas. Holding the Chunin Exams at this time... will it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Obito glared at him.

The teacher's son has an exceptionally keen sense for these kinds of things.

"Cough cough."

Obito coughed twice and then said, "Once you become Chunin, you can start taking on some out-of-village missions. The stipends will also increase, and this will also be a test for you."

"All five great ninja villages will participate in this joint Chunin Exams. After all, even if the fighting stops, they still need to fight for a say in the expanded meeting."

"We can't fight each other, so the only ones who can decide the winner are you young people."

These words sounded like an explanation to Naruto, yet they also seemed to be concealing something.

Sasuke, one of the three, looked rather grim.

Chunin Exams...

With the five great ninja villages jointly holding the Chunin Exams, it was only natural that he, a young member of the Uchiha clan known as a genius, would have to participate and would naturally attract attention.

My brother once said that since the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, took office, the Uchiha clan has no longer been shrouded in the shadows of the past.

Shisui's older brother became the captain of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, his father became one of the high-ranking members, and his older brother was hailed as a genius of the younger generation.

The Uchiha clan currently has three and a half pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.

In the past, those eyes represented power beyond that of a ninja.

Another crucial element is its domineering presence.

He had consulted his brother, Shisui, and his father more than once about the awakening of his domineering aura.

The Uchiha clan is second only to the Hyuga branch family in terms of awakening Haki.

But the key, as my father and brother always said, is willpower and determination.

But now I...

Sasuke glanced at his two companions out of the corner of his eye.

In the incident involving the explosive tags, Naruto displayed terrifying power, and after that incident, he awakened Armament Haki.

Even Sakura, who had always been mediocre in talent, awakened her Haki during a crisis.

In contrast, coupled with his past reputation as a genius, Sasuke's pride has been pushed to the brink.

However, he had no choice but to participate in the Chunin Exams.

A genius cannot escape, nor can his pride.

"Once you've thought it through, leave the meeting time to me tomorrow."

Obito left behind a single sentence and then disappeared from the spot.

The three kids stayed at the training ground, exchanged glances, and looked at the voluntary registration forms in their hands.

Naruto glanced at Sasuke furtively, but instead of asking whether he wanted to sign up, he mentioned some information.

"Although the Five Great Shinobi Villages have always been the strongest, their strength has actually changed a lot in recent years. After the Third Shinobi World War, the Master imparted new ideas to the shinobi world, but only Konoha and Kirigakure were the first to start teaching them."

Sakura, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, then asked after realizing what was going on, "So, in terms of Haki, we have a huge advantage over Kirigakure, right?"

Naruto nodded: "It's more than just big. Iwagakure only started offering ideological education last, and even the Tsuchikage, that old man, didn't awaken Conqueror's Haki."

"As far as I know, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure is about the same age as us... Wait a minute!"

Naruto paused here, frowning, and said, "Could it be that the Fifth Kazekage is also taking the Chunin Exams with us?"

Sasuke looked over at these words.

Although his pride remained, it did not turn into jealousy, nor did it turn into unscrupulous means.

The values ​​shaped by the new ideology still firmly bind his character and will not waver.

The surprise also stemmed from the fact that if the Kazekage participated in the Chunin Exams, the Uchiha clan would attract less attention.

Naruto scratched his head, being watched by his two companions. After a moment's thought, he continued, "I'll have to go back and ask my dad for the specifics, but I doubt it'll be easy. He rarely comes home these days. He used to be able to get information from the Nine-Tails, but now..."

Now that all the tailed beasts are with the master, it's naturally impossible.

Sasuke frowned and said, "My brother did mention that the excessively young Kazekage, in addition to the power to control sand, also awakened Conqueror's Haki."

Sasuke then looked at Naruto and said, "Also, he might possess the same tailed beast chakra as you. My brother said that although the One-Tailed Beast was kidnapped, some of its chakra is still inside that Kazekage."

"My brother even speculated that the reason why the Cooperative Association failed to retrieve the Tailed Beast was not only because it was impossible, but also because of the consciousness of that chakra that could preserve the One-Tailed Beast."

Of course, these are all Itachi Uchiha's speculations.

However, the most important thing in these words is intelligence.

At that moment, Sakura slammed the application form on the ground.

"He's got the Kazekage's powers, Haki, and can even control sand. How about we skip this Chunin Exams and wait until next time?"

Naruto and Sasuke were both stunned when they heard this.

But Naruto quickly realized what was happening and also slammed the application form on the ground.

"Forget it, although I'm arrogant, I never thought of comparing myself to the Kage. Although Sunagakure didn't start its philosophy classes early, it wasn't late either. Behind that Kazekage, there were also some of the earliest disciples of the teacher."

Sasuke frowned.

He knew some information about Sunagakure; that man's disciple also possessed a bloodline limit, the Scorching Release, as seen in Pakura.

After the Fourth Kazekage betrayed the village, that person became a potential successor to the Fifth Kazekage.

However, the Fifth Kazekage position was ultimately given to the overly young Gaara, while Pakura volunteered to become the head of the Sand Village Ninja Academy because the Sand Village's ideological education program started late.

However... he had already guessed what his two companions were thinking.

Thinking of this, Sasuke slightly raised his head.

Two tomoe slowly rotated in his eye sockets.

"I also gained something from that explosive tag incident. Although I didn't awaken Haki, I still want to try the Chunin Exams."

Sasuke chuckled as he spoke, "After all, I'm tired of doing all that kind of work, like cleaning the river or doing manual labor every day."

Double magatama?

Naruto looked surprised, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sakura is the same.

Both of them already had some understanding of the Uchiha clan's pride.

"Sharingan... In that case, we're much more confident in the group format for the second exam."

Naruto said with a hint of envy, "Besides conventional power, we only have the path of Haki, and only the Uchiha and Hyuga have the other path of eye techniques."

……

Meanwhile, inside the Hokage Building.

Obito Uchiha sat casually on the sofa in the Hokage's office, sighing repeatedly.

Minato Namikaze, who was sitting in the main seat reviewing documents, put down his pen: "I only have one shadow clone, so your actions here are useless, aren't they?"

Obito glanced at him: "The first joint Chunin Exams, it's inevitable that all five Kage will be present. With the various army commanders and the most important figures invited to watch, how could they possibly fall for such an obvious trap?"

Minato Namikaze's shadow clone did not answer his question.

In fact, two months ago, he also did not believe that such a dangerous situation would work.

After all, according to the information provided by the gentleman, the monster that is always preoccupied with the need to defecate is a product that has existed for thousands of years.

Two months have passed, and the master is still teaching all over the ninja world, while the main body seems to have also learned about another way to increase Haki.

I understand now why Mr. [Name] didn't seem to care much.

But these things cannot be said.

……

Ignoring the noise attack from his main disciple, Minato Namikaze's shadow clone continued reading the documents.

Technology changes the world; technology is the primary productive force.

This was a key point in our ideological education classes at the time.

He didn't quite understand it in the past, but after years of awakening Conqueror's Haki, he gradually found several points that connected them.

The arrival of the teacher brought dawn to the world. New ideas changed the whole world, and the school, an organization from the past, has become the administrator of this world.

Those who have experienced the hardships of war also know that under such a system, the future of the world is bright.

As long as we can deal with those extraterrestrial beings, whether they are monsters or aliens.

In this situation, the gentleman's name resounded throughout the world.

Although it has no name, it is sung about by everyone.

As the Kage of a village, he was able to awaken Conqueror's Haki and reach the level he is currently at.

However, Konoha is only a very small part compared to the entire ninja world.

Just how strong is Mr. Nao's domineering aura?

As the entire ninja world becomes better and better because of the Master, to what extent has the Master's domineering aura reached?

The master said: After one’s Observation Haki reaches a certain level, breaking through a fixed point will grant the ability to foresee the short-term future.

Or perhaps it's a case of being killed by sight or hearing; even worse, in an expanded meeting, the gentleman's presence is almost nonexistent, and no one notices that he is also participating in the meeting before he appears.

Among them... is the Otsutsuki Ichishiki, a being from outer space.

That incident left a deep impression on him, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to guess why the Master wasn't in a hurry to find out the Ten-Tails.

Perhaps... after the Master came into this world and the new ideas began to spread, the fate of the so-called Otsutsuki or the Ten-Tails was already sealed.

The General Research Institute has made new progress, which concerns the industrial sector.

This development will affect those enemies.

The real bait has been laid. Given that White Zetsu's intelligence gathering capabilities, he must already know that if he doesn't act now, he'll have no other chance.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze's shadow clone exhaled.

The Otsutsuki are extraterrestrials, and the Ten-Tails' goal is to devour this planet, so...

What is your purpose, sir?

Are you human? Or perhaps you're not even a human from this planet?

The Chunin Exams also showcased ninjas, and ninjas were also present in the security forces of various towns.

As the shadow, he needs the power to resist.

……

In Sunagakure, Gaara and his companions were already preparing to depart.

Although they were already the Fifth Kazekage, the group still came to the Ninja Academy to say goodbye to their teacher, Yekura.

After the group left, Yekura sighed, and behind him, Granny Chiyo also frowned.

He did offer some advice: "So-called dialectical thinking is about using one's own values ​​and understanding to examine the essence of a problem. That gentleman, do you have any new ideas, or perhaps a domineering force...?"

"After the appearance of an extraterrestrial being like Otsutsuki, could Mr. Nao also be an extraterrestrial being? We just want to protect this world and this hard-won situation."

Ye Cang nodded and replied, "I can distinguish right from wrong. That's why my domineering aura hasn't weakened in the slightest, and my will hasn't shown any signs of collapse."

"This proves that this idea is not wrong, nor is there any problem. However... perhaps the gentleman is also aware of our suspicions, who knows?"

Granny Chiyo frowned: "Then why doesn't he explain?"

Ye Cang smiled.

"What we hear is not what we see. How can those with independent thinking change their thoughts because of explanations? We have our own understanding and our own stance."

"Our position is this planet, not the school, nor the teacher, but the world."

"The biggest beneficiary of using the Chunin Exams to showcase the power of the younger generation and then using it to infiltrate the security forces of various towns for propaganda purposes... is the Kage."

"The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, is unaware of all this. If taking the condensed will in the end offends you, I will atone with my death."

"But if this happens, it will prove..." (End of Chapter)
