Live stream of Naruto's Nine Gates Prison, Uchiha explodes

"When exactly...?"

Uchiha Izuna was certain that he had absolutely no physical contact with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Does living for three generations mean that one can place a curse seal upon contact with air?

"What are you thinking? This isn't a curse mark I placed."

Uchiha Izuna: "? Who did that?"

"My teacher."

Tobirama Senju: "Hello."

Uchiha Izuna was stunned.

"No? I'm a dead man, a dead man who's been dead for a very, very long time!"

"You're telling me Tobirama Senju placed a cursed mark on a dead man? Is he even human? Is he even human?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi awkwardly turned his head away.

When his teacher told him this, he thought the teacher was making a mountain out of a molehill.

In retrospect, the teacher was truly prescient.

"By Tobirama Senju! Since you've treated me this way, don't blame me—"

With a loud shout from Uchiha Izuna, the enormous Susanoo rose from the ground.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly retreated to a safe distance, examining Izuna's Susanoo.

"Why can't I see any color in this Susanoo?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands were not idle either. He quickly completed the hand seals, then bit his thumb and slammed his hand on the ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

……

"Later, the three little monkeys realized that only through hard work could they protect themselves, so they worked hard to build a house..."

"Before the house was finished, it was attacked by the Big Bad Wolf, and all three little monkeys ended up in the Big Bad Wolf's belly. The end."

Seeing the many little monkeys crying in fear, the ape demon laughed heartlessly.

At his age, his favorite thing to do is tease little monkeys.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry, Grandpa will tell you another story..."

The ape demon cleared his throat, just as he was about to tell the little monkeys a dark fairy tale...

"Huh? Sarutobi is communicating with me?"

The ape demon was taken aback. What was it trying to do by communicating with him every day?

This time it's another time I'm helping him process documents. Even though I'm the most intelligent primate, I'm still just a monkey after all!

"Sigh... We should just pamper our own ninjas."

Enma answered Sarutobi's call...

Peng~

"Sarutobi, what document do I need to process now... Holy crap! What is this?!"

As soon as Enma appeared, he exuded a strong sense of dread. He was habitually reaching out to take the documents that Sarutobi handed him when, as soon as he looked up, a giant Susanoo was shoved right in his face.

"Don't just stand there, Enma! This time, our opponent is the Uchiha clan from the Warring States period, a ninja from the same era as the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!"

"Shouldn't the ninjas of that era have died long ago?!"

The ape demon was surprised to find that this was a long-awaited battle, and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, the opponent was a ninja from the Warring States period. Isn't that time difference a bit too big?

Hiruzen Sarutobi ripped off his Hokage robe, revealing the battle suit he always wore.

"Stop standing there, transform! Enma!"

"oh!"

Although it had been busy with paperwork lately, the Monkey King hadn't forgotten about fighting. It skillfully struck a pose, made a magnificent turn, and transformed into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which was held in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

"It's been a long time since we fought side by side, Sarutobi."

"You've finally stopped pretending to be me, you ape demon."

Ape Demon: "..."

I already said that what happened to the Raikage last time was an accident...

Uchiha Izuna broke free from the cursed seal by using the burst of Susanoo's power. He looked at the man and monkey who had entered battle mode and smirked.

"oioioi, you dare to look the Uchiha clan in the eye without the Sharingan? Take my Susanoo!"

"Using formulas to solve problems is fast."

……

Naruto Uzumaki lay on his bed, pondering things he had never thought about before.

(What is a ninja?)

(What is a human being?)

(In this ninja world... what exactly is the status of an ordinary person?)

"Is my dream... really to become Hokage?"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized that his original goal was not to become Hokage.

"I want to become Hokage so that everyone can recognize my abilities..."

"To be recognized by... ordinary people..."

"Ugh! This is so annoying! I just can't figure it out!"

Ninja, ordinary person, Hokage...

These words kept colliding in Naruto's mind, causing him unbearable pain.

Ultimately, he's still just a child.

"That fleeting inspiration... I absolutely must seize it!"

Naruto Uzumaki secretly vowed to seize that glimmer of light.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside.

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head and saw a half-skeleton on the Shadow Rock.

"Huh? That color...it's Izuna's Susanoo!"

During the previous match, Izuna Uchiha activated Susanoo.

Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki was able to recognize Izuna's Susanoo.

"Wait a minute! What is Uncle Izuna planning to do at Shadow Rock?!"

Naruto Uzumaki realized something was wrong and immediately pulled out his phone, transforming into his Golden Naruto form.

"Go go go!"

……

"Teacher Kai, that's—"

Kai and Lee were running around Konoha when they turned around and saw Susanoo on the Shadow Rock.

"That's the Uchiha... uh, what was it again?"

Might Guy was about to say the name of the Susanoo's master, but he got stuck after saying only the surname.

"Uchiha...Uchiha Tobirama!"

"Kai-sensei, isn't Tobirama-sama the Second Hokage of the village...?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. That Susanoo is above the Second Hokage!"

Matt Kai weakly protested, but his fighting spirit was immediately ignited.

"Lee, how can we stand idly by when foreign enemies invade Konoha!"

"That's right! Teacher Kai!"

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously pulled out their phones.

"Monaco Power!"

"Red Dog Power!"

A figure in red and a figure in green weaved through the leaves, their destination the lofty Shadow Rock...

Konoha Hospital

"How are you feeling, Sasgei?"

"...I'm almost blind, can you still feel anything?"

As soon as Uchiha Sasuke returned, he was immediately taken to the hospital by Haruno Sakura.

After being treated by Konoha's medical ninjas, Sasuke's eyes were saved, but he would go blind immediately if he used them again, with no room for maneuver.

Although this level of nearsightedness is practically the same as being blind...

"Sakura, what happened outside? Why did it shake so violently?"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were bound with a white cloth, so he couldn't see what was happening outside.

Sakura Haruno saw it clearly; it was Izuna Uchiha's Susanoo.

"Oh, it's just thunder, don't worry about it..."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

Do you think he's stupid? There wasn't a sound of rain, so where did the thunder come from?

"Oh, right, Sass must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat!"

After saying that, Sakura Haruno ran out of the ward before Sasuke could react.

After running out of the ward, Sakura Haruno turned to look at the location of Shadow Rock, her eyes filled with anger.

On the phone in her hand, Sakura Haruno's "Ninja World War" screen shone brightly.
