Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"Lord Hokage, you have already sacrificed so much for us. Now you want us to sit in the back and act like nothing happened? We can't do that!"

"Lord Hokage, we have learned a lot at the Ninja Academy and become much stronger than before. We will definitely be of help!"

Naturally, there were people in the crowd who were worried about the war and feared that they and their families would die in it.

However, as soon as Naruto appeared, they forgot all about it.

The wonderful life we ​​have now is all thanks to Naruto. Without Naruto, there would be no them today, so what reason do they have not to risk their lives for him!

Naruto looked at the excited crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips, and reached out to press his hand down, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing to the side, thought to himself as he watched his actions: I tried it just now, but it doesn't quiet them down at all.

However, the crowd that had been noisy just moments before immediately fell silent, so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Sarutobi Asuma: So it's not a problem of method, but of people? ???

Naruto's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "I understand how you all feel."

"In order to protect our homeland, to protect the Konoha that is now improving step by step, we are of course willing to shed our blood and sacrifice our lives to keep all enemies outside the city gates."

"But I want to tell you that you don't need to do that. Just leave everything to me."

"No matter how many enemies there are, no matter how strong they are, I will not let them harm a single hair on anyone's head!"

After hearing Naruto's speech, some people with strong empathy, such as Might Guy, were already in tears: "This... the Hokage's spirit of dedication... is just so youthful!"

He couldn't help but shout, "Lord Hokage!"

Inspired by his actions, the surrounding crowd also shouted in unison, "Lord Hokage!"

"Lord Hokage!"

"Lord Hokage!"

......

After a while, Naruto reached out and pressed down again to quiet everyone down.

He spoke calmly, "I know that everyone still has many doubts and anxieties. After all, this is a war, the Fourth Shinobi World War."

"I'm not afraid to tell you all that tens of thousands of enemies are already at the gates of Konoha and will soon arrive at the main gate."

Upon hearing this, everyone, from the ordinary people in the audience to Asuma Sarutobi standing next to Naruto, looked at Naruto in shock.

"What?! The enemy has attacked so quickly? And with so many of them?"

"What...what should we do?"

"Why be afraid of him! Since the enemy has attacked, we'll drive them back!"

Just as everyone was discussing what to do next, Naruto simply used his chakra to amplify his voice.

"I've already said it, in this war, I'm the only one from Konoha who needs to participate!"

"Next, I'm going to annihilate the enemy. If you want to come along and see what's going on, then come on!"

"With the village protection formation I set up in advance, I guarantee that no one will be injured. I will annihilate those tens of thousands of enemy troops by myself!"

Then, Naruto looked around, took a deep breath, and disappeared from the spot.

"Everyone, I'm going now."

Chapter 137 The White Zetsu Army Attacks, One Against 100,000! (Two Chapters Combined)

Since Naruto had promised the people of Konoha that they didn't have to do anything and that he would resolve the war on his own, he certainly wasn't just saying it.

First, to ensure that no one would get hurt, Naruto set up a protective barrier for the village in advance, so that he would know immediately if any enemy infiltrated.

Even if he encounters some unexpected situation and cannot return in time, the village protection barrier will use the chakra left behind by Naruto to create a Konoha as a shield, which is enough to deal with ordinary Kage-level powerhouses.

Even if the enemy's strength is beyond what the wooden puppet can handle, it can at least buy some time, allowing Naruto's shadow clones to realize that something is wrong.

As early as when he received the declaration of war, Naruto created hundreds of shadow clones.

These shadow clones are distributed across various countries in the ninja world, ten in major countries and five in minor countries.

Within the Land of Fire, defenses are emphasized, with as many as twenty units deployed.

Logically speaking, with so many shadow clones, each shadow clone wouldn't receive a lot of chakra on average.

But who is Naruto? He is not only a member of the Uzumaki clan, but also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He also has the chakra of the other eight tailed beasts in his body and has reached the level of the Six Paths.

It's no exaggeration to say that any one of Naruto's shadow clones is stronger than the other five Kage combined.

In addition, Naruto's perception range is so incredible that he actually sensed the enemy's presence while chatting with Kakashi on the Hokage Rock.

Based on their senses, these enemies suddenly appeared within the Land of Fire and were heading towards Konoha, with no other towns along the way.

That's why Naruto had time to appease the people of Konoha.

However, now that he has arrived at the gates of Konoha, Naruto felt something was strange as he focused his senses on these enemies.

The reason we were able to determine that they were enemies was partly because they appeared suddenly and headed directly towards Konoha.

On the other hand, it's because of the undisguised malice in these people.

Judging from their chakra levels, these individuals, if listed individually, would be roughly at the level of a genin, and are not a cause for concern. The main problem is their sheer number, nearly 100,000.

What puzzled Naruto was that these people had almost identical chakra levels, as if they had copied one person a hundred thousand times.

However, when these people arrived in front of him, Naruto's doubts only intensified.

"Why do all these people look exactly the same? They all have white clothes, green hair, and no clothes on."

Naruto didn't investigate further at the moment, because these people were already in front of him.

Upon spotting Naruto, they charged straight at him and crashed headfirst into the village's protective barrier.

Naruto didn't activate the wooden golem immediately; he wanted to study these...mysterious creatures in front of him.

"Fire Release·Kai·Dayama Rasengan!"

Using the Two-Tails' chakra, a blue fireball condensed in Naruto's hand, instantly expanding to the height of a one-story building and spinning at high speed.

The blue fireball, thrown by Naruto, was not stopped by the intelligent village protection array. It landed directly in the middle of the enemies, burning and exploding all the enemies it touched, turning into countless small fireballs that automatically sought out new targets.

Then Naruto conjured a large golden hand and grabbed one of the enemy's corpses, examining it curiously.

"This is a White Zetsu, a creature created using the body tissue of the First Hokage, that looks very similar to a human."

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Naruto turned around and saw Orochimaru.

"You've seen him?"

Orochimaru nodded: "I once met a guy called Zetsu when I was in Akatsuki. His body was black and white, and it always felt like two people shared one body. The white part was probably White Zetsu."

Naruto raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He had heard of "Zetsu" from other Akatsuki members, but he had never met him before.

Today, I actually encountered something like a "White Zetsu".

Naruto ignored the scene outside where the White Zetsu was being burned by blue flames and screamed in agony. He poured a tiny bit of chakra into the White Zetsu corpse in his hand and handed it over to the system for analysis.

Although this creature used first-generation cells, it is not a clone; this can be seen from its soul.

With the system's notification, Naruto used his powers to perform the Soul Grab Technique, reaching for the White Zetsu's corpse.

However, the souls captured did not look like White Zetsu at all.

Although this person's attire during his lifetime did not resemble the current popular style, he was clearly just an ordinary person.

"What is this?" Orochimaru was taken aback.

Naruto had already gotten the answer from the system's analysis: "He was probably just an ordinary person who was transformed into this inhuman and ghostly appearance."

This person's soul is now extremely weak, as if it had been forced to remain in the human world for thousands of years after death.

Naruto then used his powers to send the man's soul to the Pure Land, where it was temporarily stored.

He turned to look at the other White Zetsu who were ramming into the village's protective barrier and said softly, "These people are probably all like this."

Orochimaru looked at Naruto with interest: "Do you need my help, Naruto-kun? You know, even a lot of ants can kill an elephant."

“But I’m not just an elephant,” Naruto said calmly.

Orochimaru chuckled lightly: "These people aren't just ants either."

"It's all the same to me."

Then Naruto mobilized his chakra, and a golden chakra cloak appeared behind him. It rose without wind, and his whole body was surrounded by golden flames. There were also black tomoe at the collar, and five small black balls floated around his body. He had obviously activated Six Paths Mode.

He then floated into the air, emerged from the village's protective barrier, and looked indifferently at the White Zetsu army below.

From his high vantage point, the White Zetsu did indeed appear as small as an ant.

Just then, the people of Konoha finally arrived at the main gate.

They were initially puzzled by the strange appearance of the enemy before them, but were taken aback when they realized how many there were.

The ten White Zetsu, a dense, dark mass, crowded at the entrance to Konoha, all looking up at Naruto, jumping and leaping, their target clearly the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

"Lord Hokage, please allow us to lend you a hand!"

A man shouted.

This is also the sentiment of many Konoha residents.

But now Naruto is controlling the village's protective barrier, preventing everyone from coming out. Their attacks can't reach outside the barrier and would only waste the chakra contained within it.

Once everyone realized this, they stopped attacking and looked up at Naruto.

Naruto naturally wouldn't agree to their request.

On one hand, he needs to take this opportunity to increase his compatibility with the tailed beast's chakra.

On the other hand, he also needs a major battle to reassure everyone.

"Everyone, please quiet down for now and watch closely. Behold this power that is enough to take on 100,000 men in a war."

Naruto then lowered his eyes to look at the surging white Zetsu below, his gaze icy.

A large amount of One-Tailed Chakra condensed in his hands, mainly manifested in Wind Release and Magnet Release.

Thus, a yellow and white Rasengan filled with sand and gravel gradually took shape in Naruto's hand.

"Sage Art: Wind Release: Magnet Release: Great Ball Rasenshuriken!"
