I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Both the victorious Sasuke and the persistent Naruto made them start to think... about whether they had made mistakes in the past.

Despite being treated that way, Naruto Uzumaki never gave up and continued to work hard.

These are the things they lack.

"So, this is the list of those who passed this Chunin Exam."

"Temari, Gaara, Hinata Hyuga, Rock Lee, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha."

There are 6 people in total.

Kakashi said, and then he shut his mouth.

The atmosphere around them seemed to suddenly become quiet.

While everyone was wondering what was going on, Kitahara Kaede stepped down from the Hokage's seat and came to the center of the examination hall.

Kakashi handed him a scroll.

Kitahara Kaede opened the scroll.

"First of all, thank you all for your support in bringing this Chunin Exams to a safe conclusion."

"Then……"

"It's an announcement of something important."

"The ninjas or villagers from other villages may not know this yet."

"The Third Hokage of Konoha has retired."

"Next, Kitahara Kaede and Kakashi will follow the example of the Third and Fourth Hokage's dual shadow rule."

"And I am Kitahara Kaede."

"He is Kakashi," Kitahara Kaede introduced.

"Then there are two more things to announce."

"After we became Hokage, we found a special forbidden technique left behind by the Second Hokage in the sealed room."

"Reincarnation from dirty soil."

"The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage twelve years ago caused too much damage to the village."

"We have sacrificed too many people, and too many ninja families are broken."

“So,” Kitahara Kaede said, “don’t panic, everyone, those reanimated ninjas that have appeared around you.”

"These are the heroes of our village in the past."

“I’m moved by the sacrifices they made to protect the village,” Kitahara Kaede said.

The audience was taken aback at first, and the senior ninjas who had been resurrected to watch the Chunin Exams of this era were also stunned for a moment.

Then everyone spontaneously started applauding.

"Then."

"I also want to inform everyone," Kitahara Kaede said, "that we have received the information notification."

"The Hidden Cloud Village, which has repeatedly plotted against Konoha and attempted to launch a war against us, has been removed from the list."

"From today onwards, the five great ninja villages in the ninja world will only be Konoha, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure."

"Whoever tries to attack Konoha again."

"So……"

"The Cloud Village is their fate!" Kitahara Kaede said.

The surrounding air seemed to have stopped.

No one spoke for a minute.

then.

"it is good!"

"Konoha has risen!"

"Konoha has risen!"

The atmosphere instantly became electric.

"Ah..." Onoki looked around in a bit of a panic.

Mei Terumi, on the other hand, looked around with envy.

Because their Hidden Mist Village certainly couldn't do that. Let alone recalling the heroes of the past Hidden Mist Village, they couldn't even capture the rogue ninja right now.

Then someone started chanting "Long live the Fifth Hokage!" and soon everyone in the room was chanting the same name.

Long live the Fifth Hokage!

Long live the Fifth Hokage!

Long live the Fifth Hokage!

Everyone was in a frenzy.

·······

The cheers were very loud coming from the examination hall of the third Chunin Exam.

Meanwhile, back in the remote pigpen of the logistics department, the Konoha F4 had already heard cheers.

They had already heard from the daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire about what Kitahara Kaede and his group had been doing these past few days.

The voices of the people now are unlike anything they've heard during their time in power.

The third generation looked up at the sky, their dry lips a little sore, and finally said, "Our era is over."

"Perhaps we need to look forward."

"Tobirama-sensei may be right; we will only hinder Konoha's development."

"But if someone else goes up there, they can fly."

"Waaaaah—" Mitokado Yan burst into tears.

Because it's like their very existence; for decades, they've only seemed to be causing trouble for Konoha.

Everything was rejected.

"I refuse to accept this!" But some people still have the will to fight.

That was Shimura Danzo. The man who always wanted to become Hokage!

"The current situation is not a rejection of us!"

"Just because of the exception."

"This is Kitahara Kaede's existence; it's not like you can just replace him."

"In other words."

"I'm not convinced," Danzo said.

········

Kitahara Kaede had already left the examination hall and was heading to Konoha Hospital to see Naruto and Sasuke when she happened to pass by the pigsty.

Then, as they stood gazing into the distance, the people in the small group overheard the conversation of the Konoha F4.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

【Nine Lama】: This Danzo looks a lot like Shukaku.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: Yeah, it seems so.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: They're all unconvinced.

[Shukaku]: Huh? You can even drag me into this kind of stupid topic?

[Shukaku]: I'm really not convinced! Even though I can't beat you, I just won't accept it!

[Minato Namikaze]: Yes, that's it, it looks exactly like him.

[Tobirama Senju]: ...These disgraceful disciples!

Tobirama seemed to be having another headache.

········

Kitahara Kaede left the pigsty, initially considering whether she should repay the Third Hokage for his kindness.

However, it seems they don't need any special treatment.

He arrived at Konoha Hospital.

"You need to pay attention to rest."

"There is no particularly good treatment, but you must get plenty of rest."

Sasuke and Naruto were both placed in single rooms.

"The Fifth Hokage—"

When Kitahara Kaede arrived, he was immediately recognized by the ninjas.

Kitahara Kaede gently extended her finger and shushed him.

The ninja immediately fell silent.

Kitahara Kaede arrived at Sasuke's hospital room.

Sasuke lay on it, having been ordered by the medical ninja to remain in bed and rest.

However, he took out some soldier's rations from his pocket.

"Well--"

I immediately felt discomfort in my body.

Using soldier pills is a way to quickly boost his chakra and energy, but using too many is not good.

but.

He has something he absolutely must accomplish now; it's not the time for him to lie down and rest.

"It seems you can't wait any longer." Kitahara Kaede saw that Sasuke had already finished his soldier rations as soon as he entered the room.

"Ok!"

Sasuke jumped out of bed in a flash, "Please!"

"I defeated Naruto in this Chunin Exam."

"so……"

"I want to revive my father, Fugaku Uchiha!" Sasuke said.

Previously, Kitahara Kaede resurrected Konoha ninjas who died in the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha using Edo Tensei.

However, his Uchiha clan members were different; they were assigned to evacuate the villagers when the Nine-Tails attacked the village.

Therefore, in that battle... the Uchiha clan suffered no losses.

So naturally... I'm not qualified to use this opportunity to be resurrected.

and so.

Sasuke's request is now his own.

"Are you sure you won't regret it?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“No!” Sasuke said. “I want to ask my father about the method to enhance the Sharingan.”

“Then… kill Itachi Uchiha.” Sasuke said with a serious expression.

Although he only activated one tomoe after his entire clan was killed, Sasuke was still a qualified avenger.

He may lack ability, but he's good at holding grudges.

So even now, he still wants to kill his older brother, Uchiha Itachi.
