Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

“A real man! How can he cry so easily? Come on! Hold your head high and let your father take a good look at you.”

"Yes!"

Although that's what the Third Raikage said, he couldn't help but blur his vision for a moment and patted the Fourth Raikage A's head.

Then he began asking about recent events.

Upon learning that Tobirama Senju had been resurrected a month earlier, the Third Raikage couldn't help but stand up: "That Second Hokage guy actually resurrected."

"That's a monster known as the fastest in the ninja world."

“Yes! The village is also preparing for the Chunin Exams, testing the current strength of Konoha.” The Fourth Hokage, A, nodded.

"Perfect timing, I'll also tell them about my resurrection."

"And let's give that old guy Onoki a fright, hahaha—" The Third Raikage laughed heartily.

"But wouldn't this trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War?" the Fourth Hokage A asked hesitantly.

"No!" The Third Raikage's intelligence was clearly higher than that of the Fourth Hokage, A. He realized that Tobirama Senju was just as intelligent as he was: "If Father's strength hasn't returned to its peak, then has the Second Hokage recovered?"

The fourth-generation Ai gasped, "Hiss—you mean..."

"The Third Generation Lord is right, I agree."

"Because the resurrection has only occurred in Konoha Village so far, there is not much information available."

But now that there are three more generations of adults, we have obtained new information.

Secondly, we can spread the news of the Third Hokage's resurrection, letting everyone know the strength of Kumogakure.

"However, we only told everyone that he was resurrected, but we didn't tell them about his specific strength. So, in other people's eyes, our Third Hokage has returned to his peak state, where he could defeat the Eight-Tails single-handedly and fight against thousands of enemies in the Fourth Shinobi World War," Mabui said.

"Your assistant is quite good, Ai," the Third Raikage praised.

“Azabu-i has always been reliable.” The Fourth Hokage, A, praised him, and then continued, “Then let’s do it this way. Make sure all the major ninja villages know that my father has been resurrected.”

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, the situation in Kirigakure was completely the opposite.

"You mean, you encountered the Uchiha ninja who controlled me?" Yagura Karatachi returned to the Mizukage Building immediately. He wasn't after power; he wanted to find the Uchiha ninja and take revenge.

He no longer has a tailed beast.

"Yes, Fourth Hokage," Mei Terumi said, slumped dejectedly on the table as always. "I said, since you've been resurrected, why don't you continue as the Water..."

"Stop."

“I am already a sinner of Kirigakure.”

"At most, I can become a member of the Anbu, responsible for protecting the current Mizukage's personal safety, or serve as a Jonin instructor, but I will never get involved in village affairs again."

"I said righteously," said Yagura.

Mei Terumi: ......

You just saw the village was a mess because of what you did and then you didn't want to deal with it anymore, right?! Stop pretending to be so important!

Mei Terumi rubbed her temples: "In short, now that you're back to life, the pressure on the village is a bit less, at least we have one more high-end combatant..."

"Stop. The strength I can exert now is at most half of what it was before, and that's half without the tailed beast."

Mei Terumi: ? ? ?

"Half...does that mean the tailed beast's chakra can't be used either?"

“I can use a little, but not much.” Yagura scratched his head. His current tailed beast chakra reserves were not even enough to enter the One-Tailed Beast Cloak state. At most, he could borrow that little bit of regenerable tailed beast chakra to release stronger ninjutsu.

"I thought there was another Kage, but it turns out to be a Jonin." Mei Terumi continued to slump over the table, idly lounging around.

Yagura scratched his cheek: "In short, we should restore Kirigakure's vitality as soon as possible, and we must not let Kirigakure rot in our hands."

Mei Terumi gave a deadpan look: "It's all because of you."

"Ahem, that's all in the past. Now, the main thing is how to view Konoha's invitation to the Chunin Exams, right?" Yagura Karatachi began to change the subject.

“I wasn’t planning to participate, but now that you’ve been resurrected, let Ao lead two teams and let the village’s ninjas go to Konoha to broaden the village chief’s horizons.”

"One of them is the future successor to the ninja sword..."

Inside Konoha Village, at a barbecue restaurant, Kurenai Yuhi kept piling meat onto Uchiha Bufan's plate, making Bufan a little embarrassed.

"Hey, you should eat too. Don't keep putting food on my plate, I can do it myself."

"Mmm!" Kurenai's face flushed slightly as she ate a piece of beef. She couldn't help but look at Uchiha Bufan, feeling as if she were actually having dinner with her boyfriend.

"Is it tasty?"

"Not bad." Uchiha Bufan nodded slightly, but in his heart he felt that this barbecue restaurant was only so expensive because of the high cost of meat. If it were the era of overproduction in his previous life, a large amount of zombie meat would have been enough to drive down the price of meat.

"Speaking of which, Sister Hong's father has been resurrected. What is he doing now?"

"Ah. Father... He... He's out on a mission." Kurenai couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she thought about her father taking over her job as a Jonin instructor.

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi was also transferred to the outskirts of Konoha Village to accompany the student squad that graduated half a month ago on a D-rank mission.

—Picking up trash.

"Hello!"

Kurenai leaned against a tree, watching the children work, and couldn't help but whisper, "I wonder what Kurenai is doing now. Neither the Second nor the Fifth Hokage told me."

At that moment, a pair of people walked into the barbecue restaurant. The blonde figure was wearing a green robe, which concealed her fair skin.

Beside the blonde woman were Rope Tree with brown hair, Shizune with black hair and a small bust, and a pink piglet.

"Lady Tsunade, isn't that extraordinary?"

"It really is."

Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade couldn't help but glance at Uchiha Fufan and Kurenai Yuhi, who were eating at a booth in the lobby of BBQ Q.

"That's Uchiha Bufan!" Nawaki had already prepared his opening remarks, ready to give Uchiha Bufan a little shock.

The next second, Tsunade gripped his neck tightly, a threatening smile on her face, and whispered in Nawaki's ear: "If you dare to approach Bufan without your sister's permission, I will break both your legs and send you to the hospital to sleep in a hospital bed for months."

Upon hearing this, Rope Tree stood obediently in place, nodding repeatedly.

Kurenai Yuhi also noticed Tsunade and the others, but remembering that she was on a 'mission', she simply smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

The next second, Tsunade broke away from the group, walked up to Uchiha Bufan, and tentatively said, "Hello, Uchiha brat."

Uchiha Bufan was startled by a single sentence. He patted his chest and turned to see which bastard had interrupted his 'date'.

"Uh... Hello, Lady Tsunade," Uchiha Bufan said politely.

"You actually know me?" Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

“Of course, there are pictures in the ninja academy's textbooks.” Uchiha Bufan nodded, while his peripheral vision caught sight of the endless 'abyss'.

"Tch." Tsunade didn't care and continued, "What's your name?"

"Uchiha is extraordinary."

"Good name."

"I feel so too."

Then, Tsunade didn't know what to say; she just wanted to thank the brat. Suddenly, she remembered the prices at BBQ Q and the money she'd recently won. "Kid, this meal's on me."

Uchiha Bufan was slightly taken aback, and after a moment asked, "Why?"

"Because...emmm," Tsunade said, finding it hard to describe.

Seeing this 'familiar' scene, Kurenai Yuhi had a bad feeling.

"I see."

"So, Lady Tsunade likes me. Well then, considering... considering Lady Tsunade's status, I might consider it."

Tsunade:? ? ?

"not me..."

"Hmm? Isn't that right?" Uchiha Bufan's tone became strange, as if he was starting to think.

The next second, Kurenai quickly took over Tsunade's answer and said, "Lady Tsunade means that she wants to compete with me fairly against you."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Bufan gasped in surprise, never expecting to be so 'popular' as to have two of the most beautiful women from the original story pursuing him.

“Alright, I agree.” Uchiha Fufan nodded.

Tsunade was completely confused, but seeing Kurenai's lips say "I'll explain later," she didn't say anything and left, using the excuse that she was going to treat her younger brother and Shizune to a meal and not sit at the same table.

We moved to another booth.

Nawaki looked at Tsunade with a bewildered yet complicated expression: "Sister. I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste. If I remember correctly, you should be fifty this year..."

boom!

A large red bulge began to rise on the top of the rope tree, continuously emitting smoke.

Tsunade clenched her smoking fist, furious.

If Kurenai doesn't offer an explanation, she's going to explode!

"Lady Tsunade... although it's not appropriate for me to say this... Bufan seems to be quite young... perhaps you could reconsider?" Shizune said softly.

"..." Tsunade remained silent, then sighed, turned to look at Bufan and Kurenai who were happily eating. Bufan waved to her, and Tsunade could only smile and nod in response. Then she turned back and changed her expression in a second, and said seriously to the two of them in a low voice, "I didn't mean that."

Every word she uttered sounded like she was gritting her teeth.

When Tsunade realized that her younger brother, Shizune, and even Tonton didn't believe her, she was on the verge of a breakdown.

After finishing their meal, Uchiha Bufan left alone, saying he was going to see Naruto. Kurenai Yuhi nodded in agreement and then went to Tsunade and the others who hadn't finished eating, and began to explain.

A few minutes later, Tsunade understood Kurenai's good intentions. "Tch, does rejecting that brat emotionally really mean he'll break down his 'fixed perceptions' and trigger the 'death game' that Grandpa and Teacher talked about?"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, I was just giving a gift as a thank you gift, but I ended up 'getting' myself in trouble." Kurenai Yuhi scratched her head awkwardly.

When the village learned of this, they gave her the task of 'building a bond', and she could only take it one step at a time.

"Is there no way to refuse?" Tsunade gritted her teeth and said. She didn't want her younger brother, who had just been resurrected, to die for no reason because of such a shameful thing.

"Well... I don't know either." Kurenai Yuhi didn't dare to gamble.

"Alright, alright, I got it. Go after them, that's all. I won't lose out anyway."

The woman, a spinster in her fifties, said this was a piece of cake.

Tsunade then puffed out her snow-white chest, proving her strength.

But thinking about it this way... that time you won money, it couldn't have been...

Three more days have passed, and the list of candidates for the Chunin Exams was finalized the day before yesterday. Ninja villages from various regions have been sending out ninja teams one after another.

The Hidden Mist Village was led by Ao and another Jonin.

When Onoki learned that the monster whom the Third Raikage had killed with thousands of ninjas had been resurrected, his back throbbed violently that day.

Later, upon learning that Kirigakure and Kumogakure had both sent their own teams, Onoki also decided to send his beloved granddaughter, led by his son Koto, to form two ninja teams to participate in the Chunin Exams, and registered by letter.

The Cloud Village sent a team trained by Killer Bee, but due to the sensitivity surrounding Jinchuriki, Killer Bee was not sent; instead, two Jonin were sent to lead the team.

As for Sunagakure, there has been no news from them.

"It seems that no one from Sunagakure has been resurrected." Tobirama Senju looked at the intelligence report in his hand and stroked his chin.

"It seems like there's none at Iwagakure either. I heard that Onoki injured his back because of the Third Raikage's resurrection and is still recovering," Kakashi said.

"This cannot be confirmed, but at least the fact that Iwagakure dared to send people out suggests there must be some truth to it."

Tobirama Senju made his own judgment: the only confirmed resurrected ninjas are from Konoha and Kumogakure. Besides Iwagakure, whose situation is uncertain, Kirigakure is also somewhat suspicious.

"Amegakure also dispatched two teams, reportedly led by a female Jonin from Amegakure."

“We don’t need to worry about the small villages,” Tobirama Senju waved his hand. “What we need to be careful of are the large villages.”

"Uh... there's a Uzumaki clan member in his twenties in Kusagakure..."

"I already told you... Huh?! What?!" Tobirama Senju, upon learning that the Uzumaki clan had appeared in Kusagakure, couldn't help but come to Kakashi to look at the list.
