I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Kakashi, having taken the Hokage hat, suddenly spoke, "I am very grateful for everyone's trust."

"I want to do my job well."

"But now I also have something to announce."

Kakashi said.

At that moment, he could feel that the First and Second Generation Lords were watching him.

So he said, "Then, Kitahara Kaede, you come up first."

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

“Go,” Sasuke said to Naruto. “It’s probably about Shukaku.”

Also.

They previously defeated Shukaku using Wood Release, but Konoha hasn't addressed Shukaku yet, so it's important to bring someone out of the wood.

So Kitahara Kaede went up.

Kakashi placed his hand on his shoulder. "This is my disciple."

"Kitahara Kaede".

"Two days ago, Shukaku from the Sand Village went berserk in Konoha. It was Kitahara-kun who defeated Shukaku, which prevented a major disaster from breaking out."

"..." This sentence caused an uproar.

If the abdication of the Third Hokage and Kakashi's succession were surprising enough...

but.

Shukaku was controlled like this, and the person controlling it... was such a young child?

"Kitahara-kun has awakened Wood Release."

“If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I think this is the reincarnation of the First Hokage,” Kakashi continued.

"Haha..." Some good-natured laughter came from below.

Although few people present had actually seen the First Generation Lord, everyone had grown up hearing the legends of his incredible strength.

And... the ability to defeat Shukaku is indeed a power possessed only by the First Hokage.

"so……"

Kakashi continued, "I hereby declare that Kitahara Kaede will succeed him as the Fifth Hokage."

"And I, as the Sixth Hokage, assisted him."

"Our Konoha will return to the era of the First Hokage and rise strong once more!"

"Where leaves dance, fire lives on!"

In Kakashi's emotionally charged roar.

The ninjas below resonated with this.

Yes.

Konoha has been timid for too long. It failed to win any of the three major battles and was always on the defensive. Despite winning the Third Shinobi World War, it signed a treaty as the loser.

And all of these...

Konoha needs to become strong!

“Now, let’s pronounce this person’s name,” Kakashi continued, building momentum.

"Kitahara Kaede!"

"Kitahara Kaede!"

"Kitahara Kaede!"

The villagers below began to go wild...

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede didn't speak, but the Konoha F4 watched the backs of the two new Hokage with dejected expressions.

But it all started the day before.

`` `` ``

My boyfriend recommended a book to his girlfriend.

It will be available tonight or tomorrow, so please support it! It's even better than my book!

[Ninja World: The Data Era, Starting with the Acquisition of the Thousand-Armed Buddha!] Author: Feixue Yuhua.

Chapter 063 Naruto, you're not the Demon Fox! Konoha's F4 panic! (Please subscribe to all chapters and auto-subscribe)

Let's go back to the day before.

After the Second Hokage chose to seal himself away and Orochimaru fled, Kitahara Kaede returned to his own team.

He was a Wood Release test subject, so naturally he had to be by Naruto's side at this time.

This is probably what the Third Hokage hoped for after experiencing Shukaku's rampage.

Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, and if the Nine-Tails were to unleash its power, the Third Hokage would have no choice but to step down as a responsible figure.

Judging from the way the Third Hokage wanted to seal the scroll, it's clear that he was unwilling to abdicate.

That's for sure. After a lifetime in a position, to suddenly have your entire career rejected by your teacher and then be forced to step down would be enough to make your heart stop.

Probably... the body won't be able to take it.

but.

The choice is up to the three generations to decide their fate.

Although the Third Hokage was arrogant, he treated Kitahara Kaede fairly well. Kitahara Kaede didn't mind the Third Hokage continuing to serve as Hokage, but if the new Hokage could provide the same or even better treatment, Kitahara Kaede was willing to watch the Third Hokage fall.

After all, he doesn't live for anyone else, but rather for others not to disturb him.

When the Otsutsuki era arrives, Naruto and Sasuke can also become henchmen.

So, back at the central tower, Kitahara Kaede was still in a relaxed mood.

However, he was quite relaxed, unlike the people in the central tower.

"Kitahara-kun, what exactly happened outside...?"

"That giant raccoon is..."

Naruto surrounded Kitahara Kaede.

Naruto's emotions seem to be quite unstable.

Yes.

No one told him that he was actually a Jinchūriki, but everyone would say he was a fox spirit.

So even in conjecture, one might ponder... whether one's own self is also that dangerous, raccoon-like thing.

“Those are tailed beasts,” Kitahara Kaede said. “Each of the five great ninja villages has one.”

He noticed that as he was saying this, the genin who had already passed the test also looked over.

The genin here are all acquaintances.

Tenten, Neji, and Lee from Might Guy's first team.

Then there's Hinata from Team 8.

Asuma's class, Class 10.

However, they had already learned of Asuma's serious injuries, so they abandoned the exam and returned home.

Then there's the Grass Ninja, but Orochimaru is finished, and the Grass Ninja have also run away.

So, all of them, the only candidates who have passed so far are Kitahara Kaede, Naruto, and Sasuke.

Tenten, Lee, Neji.

Hinata.

Then there are Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro from Sunagakure.

There are 10 people in total.

This was the most difficult record ever set by the 150 candidates.

However, everyone here now is someone I know. Although the village has told us not to reveal that Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, everyone knows it to some extent.

But it's still not very clear to the children.

A correct explanation can provide the right guidance.

So Kitahara Kaede continued, "This world contains ninjas, tailed beasts, and summoning beasts."

"Tailed Beasts are similar to Summoning Beasts, and can also be used as Summoning Beasts, but they are extremely powerful."

"Currently, it is known that there are nine tailed beasts, divided into one-tailed, two-tailed... up to nine-tailed beasts," Kitahara Kaede said.

“The Nine-Tails, huh…” Hyuga Neji spoke up.

As for the Nine-Tails... everyone knows about it.

More than a decade ago, when they were just born or even before they were born, the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha.

Many ninjas were killed at that time.

Kitahara Kaede continued,

"These tailed beasts were captured by the First Hokage during the First Hokage's era."

"The First Hokage and Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha clan established Konoha."

"Other ninja villages followed Konoha's example in establishing their villages, and among them, the larger ninja villages are Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure."

"The First Hokage's goal in establishing the village was peace."

"Therefore, we made an agreement with the other four great ninja villages to distribute the tailed beasts to them and work together to maintain peace."

"The One-Tailed Beast was given to Sunagakure, the Two-Tailed and Eight-Tailed Beasts to Kumogakure, the Five-Tailed Beast to Iwagakure, the Three-Tailed Beast to Kirigakure, and so on. Konoha also has its own tailed beasts. The strongest tailed beast in Konoha is the Nine-Tailed Beast."

"The First Hokage simply wanted to achieve peace, so he distributed his power."

"But the other ninja villages did not think so. After the First Hokage died, they immediately turned the power of the Tailed Beasts into weapons."

·······

"Why is this happening——"

She sat by her side every day, hugging her knees and listening intently, but she felt that these historical accounts were exaggerated.

Is it because these other ninja villages are so disgusting?

They give you power, but... it's all just paying lip service while secretly going against it.

"Because the First Hokage was the strongest at that time, and the other ninja villages couldn't withstand him. But after the First Hokage died, and with the addition of the power of the Tailed Beasts, he could no longer intimidate them," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Then don't we still have the Nine-Tails in Konoha?" Sasuke Uchiha said.

Naruto sat down and listened.

He had only ever heard the term "fox spirit" since he was a child.

Therefore, he felt that the Nine-Tails... was related to him.

“Konoha has the Nine-Tails,” Kitahara Kaede said. “But compared to other villages, the Nine-Tails was initially allowed to roam freely.”

"Then the Nine-Tails, which was left to roam freely... was taken advantage of."

“The Mangekyou Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails. Madara Uchiha has returned with the Nine-Tails to attack the village,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Ah, this..." Sasuke, who had just asked the question, was instantly stunned.

Because the Mangekyou Sharingan belongs to his Uchiha clan.

“Uchiha Madara, this is…” But Sasuke wasn’t very clear about the name.

“This is someone whose strength is equal to that of the First Hokage,” Kitahara Kaede said. “The original head of the Uchiha clan, he and the First Hokage reconciled and together founded Konoha.”
