Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

The strength he had been hiding all along also caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to misjudge the difficulty of the battle from the very beginning.

Simply put, this success was more due to luck than to real ability.

Looking at the children in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt tired and shook his head and said:

“Although Kagura used some tricks, he still won in the end.

This is the world of ninjas, regardless of the process, only the result matters."

After a pause, he glanced at Jiraiya who was still tied to the stake and continued:

"As for you three...

Although Tsunade and Orochimaru still have many shortcomings, I can see their progress.

But Jiraiya, you don't even have the awareness of being a ninja!

Therefore, I declare that the three who have passed this assessment are Kagura, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

As for you! "

At this point he pointed at Jiraiya and said:

"As a disqualified person, you will be tied up here for one night as punishment."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the result, the other three left immediately.

Although they were told that they had passed the test, Tsunade and Orochimaru did not look excited when they left.

There was no way. The blow that Kagura brought to them today was too great.

Today they realized that Kagura had never taken them seriously when they were in school.

That tiny gap is just my imagination.

As for Kagura, having read the original plot, he naturally knew the purpose of this assessment.

This is not meant to verify everyone's strength, but to awaken everyone's team consciousness by leaving one loser.

However, due to his own actions, the atmosphere has completely changed, and Sarutobi Sensei can't continue with the original script.

In this case, there is no point in staying where I am. I might as well go home early and check out the system rewards.

Looking at the backs of the three people walking away, Jiraiya no longer had the momentum to shout, but lowered his head like a dejected rooster.

Seeing his depression, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile:

"What's wrong?

After seeing the true strength of your companions, were you shocked? "

Jiraiya replied with a humming voice:

“That Kagura is too cunning, he has been hiding his strength this whole time.

Besides, Tsunade and Orochimaru are much stronger than me."

Looking at the student who had lost confidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down beside him and seemed to recall the past and comforted him:

“Jiraiya, there is no shortage of geniuses in the ninja world.

But being a genius doesn’t mean you can become a strong person.”

Hearing this, Jiraiya finally raised his head, looked at the teacher in front of him and asked:

"Then how can one become a strong person?"

Sarutobi smiled and replied:

“Hard work, luck, talent.

The most important thing is a strong heart.

Everyone has their own talents. You don’t have to compare yourself with others. It’s more important to stick to yourself.”

Listening to the teacher's encouragement, Jiraiya's eyes slowly regained their luster.

He smiled confidently and said proudly:

“It’s just that I just didn’t perform well today.

My escape technique is the strongest in Konoha!

Every time I go to the bathhouse and use the escape technique to peek, I never fail!"

Looking at the shameless disciple in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen curled the corners of his mouth but didn't say anything.

After a long silence, a voice sounded.

"Next time, call me when you go to the bathhouse."

"...Teacher, you are so lewd."

"Shut up!"

On the way back, Kagura was humming a song in a good mood.

He originally planned to collect the reward from the system after returning home, but faced with the temptation of the tailed beast, he couldn't wait to click to collect the reward halfway.

After pressing confirm in his mind, the strange changes he had imagined did not occur.

He turned his head and checked himself carefully, only to find that nothing had changed.

Finally, when I turned my attention back to the system, I discovered the changes in the properties:

Eye Technique: (Double Magatama Sharingan), progress 14.2%.

Physical skills: (the fourth gate, the gate of injury), progress 90.1%.

Chakra: (Chunin level), progress 42.1%.

Tailed Beast: One tail, fusion degree 1%

How did this attribute improve so much?

It seems that fighting against a Kage-level powerhouse is of great benefit to one's own growth.

You have to know that based on Kagura's previous experience, if she relies solely on her own training, it will take at least one to two weeks to achieve this level of improvement.

The newly added tailed beast attributes also attracted his attention.

"One tail?"

Muttering to himself, he pondered for a while, then turned his mind to his own body.

Just as he expected, after careful investigation, he found that a tailed beast had appeared in his body at some point.

Looking closely, it was the One-Tailed Fox - Shukaku!

But unlike the ferocious appearance in my impression, the one in front of me is pure white.

The chubby face looks quite cute, and now it is sleeping soundly inside its body.

As if it felt Kagura's gaze, it rubbed its eyes with its paws, turned over and continued to sleep.

Is this really a tailed beast?

It's not a mascot, is it?

Several question marks appeared above Kagura's head.

It’s just that the system won’t answer his questions, and now he has no way to verify it.

In desperation, Kagura had to put this issue aside for the time being.

Well, since the tailed beasts seem to be a little different from what I imagined, I might as well extract the ninjutsu.

After all, this is what can really enhance yourself.

But just as the turntable in the system started, Kagura, who had been walking slowly on the side of the road, suddenly stopped.

His own keen perception told him that there was an enemy!

And he was watching him not far away!

Chapter 8 Look Me In The Eyes

Watanabe Takeshi, a member of the first generation of the "Root" organization.

Although he was only a Chunin, he was honored to be chosen as a member of the "Root".

His ancestors were all ninjas, and they followed the Senju clan a long time ago.

After years of chaos in the Warring States Period, the war finally came to an end thanks to the extraordinary genius of Hashirama Senju.

As a child, he still remembered the genuine excitement of his parents on the day when the establishment of Konoha Village was announced.

But the good times did not last long. With the death of Hashirama Senju, the countries began to move again.

Not long after, the First Ninja War broke out.

After returning from a mission, he saw the bodies of his parents covered with white cloth.

He didn't shed tears at that time, because he knew in his heart that this was the fate of a ninja.

But from then on, he worked harder to complete each of his tasks.

But the cruelty of this war was beyond people's imagination.

On the eve of the final peace, the seemingly omnipotent second-generation master died after being injured in a shameless ambush.

After returning to the village, Danzo, who followed that adult, decided to inherit that adult's will and established the "Root" organization.

As a follower of the Senju clan, when Lord Danzo invited him, he joined the "Root" without hesitation.

"We are the guardians of Konoha's shadow, with our roots deep in the darkness."

Watanabe Takeshi always remembered the philosophy that Lord Danzo told everyone when he first joined.

After joining the organization, he never left the village again.

He transformed himself into an eye in the darkness, and followed Lord Danzo's instructions to monitor everyone who posed a threat to the village.

This afternoon, a mission suddenly came from Lord Danzo.

The mission instructed him to monitor a child named Kagura from the Uchiha family starting today.
