Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"No need, those little guys aren't weak at all."

Kakashi casually leaned against the railing, took out a copy of "Make-Out Paradise" and started reading.

"It's more than enough to handle this exam."

"So confident?"

Shūzawa tilted his head, looking at Kakashi with amusement.

"What if it backfires? That would be embarrassing."

"My luck has always been good, just like how I knew the Anbu responsible here today was Tenzō."

Kakashi's exposed eye turned into a dead fish eye again, looking meaningfully at Shūzawa and Hikari.

"But speaking of which, is it really okay? There are a bit too few Anbu responsible for the arena today, and more outside."

"Being prepared is always the safest choice."

Shūzawa smiled casually. As Jōnin, Kakashi and the others likely received a lot of notices.

It's just that they couldn't say for sure what the specific situation would be. But seeing the way Shūzawa's Anbu were acting, they immediately understood what was happening.

The Anbu weren't here, but were more focused on the outside, or rather, more focused on the residential area. This meant Konoha was prepared to evacuate the residents as quickly as possible.

And this also meant that the potential accident this time would be much bigger than imagined!

"Really, is it okay to just let it go like this?"

Asuma and Kurenai seemed a little nervous, especially Kurenai who couldn't help but ask.

Asuma gently tugged at Kurenai, signaling her not to say more. Konoha had arrangements for this matter, and they shouldn't question it too much.

Kakashi seemed more relaxed, after all, he knew Shūzawa too well.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Kakashi continued to look down and read his book, he said unhurriedly.

"Just watch the match with peace of mind, and be ready at any time. Our Assistant Lord told me.

Although good luck favors fools, such good luck doesn't fall from the sky. Haven't we already made preparations in advance?"

Kakashi's words were a bit strange, but at this moment Shūzawa interrupted them.

"Alright, stop talking, it's about to start soon, and today is a big day."

Hearing Shūzawa's words, Kai and the others didn't say anything more, they all looked up at the high platform.

At this moment, above the high platform, the Third Hokage and Tsunade had appeared!

Their appearance immediately quieted the entire training ground. Everyone knew what this moment meant.

That was that the final match of this Joint Chūnin Exams was about to begin!

And, barring any accidents, today was indeed going to be a major event.

"Lord Hokage, long time no see."

Genshi had been waiting for a long time on the main stage of the training ground. Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade coming over, he stood up with a smile.

Although he was nominally the actual controller of Kirigakure, he had never announced that he would become Mizukage.

Therefore, he was still in the position of Great Elder, and he had met Hiruzen Sarutobi during the negotiations back then, so they could be considered acquaintances.

"Lord Genshi, long time no see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Years apart, you are still so energetic."

"I'm old."

Genshi shook his head, his gaze turned to Tsunade.

"Is this the Fifth Hokage? Time passes so quickly."

"That's right, I will formally announce this result later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't feign modesty at all, he directly nodded and admitted this matter.

For him, this was already a predetermined fact, there was nothing to deny.

"Now I'd rather brew a pot of tea, without so much pressure every day, accompanying my grandson and watching the changes in Konoha is enough.

Time is not on our side, so ah, the things that should be worked on are left to the young people."

"Indeed, we are all old."

Genshi nodded, he was a few years older than Hiruzen Sarutobi, so there was nothing wrong with saying this.

Looking at Tsunade in front of him, he was also pondering the matter of the Fifth Mizukage of his village.

He had always been very optimistic about Mei Terumi taking over, but Mei Terumi was too young, and he had many subordinates.

Even if he was optimistic about Mei Terumi, he couldn't directly make a decision, he could only let Mei Terumi try to make more contributions.

When she had enough achievements, then he could take the opportunity to push Mei Terumi up.

"Third Hokage, hello."

Just as the two were exchanging greetings, Rasa also walked onto the high platform.

He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, and then glanced obscurely at Genshi before smiling and saying.

"I hope I'm not late. I have to say that Konoha is really more prosperous than Sunagakure, it has dazzled my eyes."

"You're not late, the timing is just right."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile remained the same, but his gaze towards Rasa had a hint of a different meaning.

And seeing Rasa appear, he no longer had the interest to continue chatting.

"Then, shall we announce the start?"

"Alright."

Rasa didn't care, he leisurely found a seat and sat down, then looked at the competition below with anticipation.

The venue became quieter and quieter, everyone's eyes looked towards the high platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi also slowly walked out at this time.

"Today is the last day of this Chūnin Exams, here I wish all the young people who have come to this round a good result."

"But before that, I have something to announce, in fact, everyone present should know."

"Actually, I should have announced this matter a few years ago, but it's not a bad thing to delay it until today."

"Then, I formally announce that I will officially retire from tomorrow, and Konoha will welcome the Fifth Hokage!"

"She is Tsunade!"

Accompanying Hiruzen Sarutobi's announcement, the originally quiet venue gradually began to cheer.

Immediately afterwards, this cheer instantly became as unstoppable as an erupting volcano, as unstoppable as a rushing tsunami!

"Go, I'll leave the rest to you."

Facing this roaring cheer, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head and looked at Tsunade beside him.

"From now on, it's all up to you."

"Tch, you old man."

Tsunade shrugged her shoulders, she knew that it couldn't be considered a formal stage appearance now, it was just an announcement, a preview.

But such cheers still made her heart beat faster, she took a deep breath and slowly walked to the front stage.

And when she appeared in everyone's sight, such cheers broke through the sky even more, she also waited for a while, and only spoke loudly when the sound was slightly quieter.

"Next, I announce that the exam officially begins!"

"Is it about to start?"

In a corner of the training ground, Orochimaru looked at the radiant Tsunade on the high platform, his eyes also had a hint of inexplicability.

If there hadn't been so many things back then, if everything had gone smoothly back then, wouldn't this scene have become him back then?

After a while, he gently shook his head, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

"It's really something to look forward to."

"Tch, it's really noisy."

Inside the Chunin Exam rest area, Hōzuki Suigetsu couldn't help but pick at his ears when he heard the roaring cheers.

Mei Terumi next to him slapped him on the head without hesitation, but unfortunately, it hit water everywhere.

"Be honest, this is Konoha."

Mei Terumi didn't care, she glared at Hōzuki Suigetsu who had returned to his original state, and looked at Chōjūrō again.

She thought to herself, why is this guy not as honest as her teammate? Why is the Hōzuki clan so loud?

"Hmm?"

But soon, she lost interest in thinking about these things. Behind her, Kisame Hoshigaki quietly walked over.

"Is everything ready?"

Lowering her voice, Mei Terumi asked softly, Kisame Hoshigaki simply nodded.

"Everything is ready, just waiting to start."

"That's good."

Mei Terumi nodded, she couldn't help but look up at Tsunade on the high platform, and sighed in her heart.

"Come on, maybe this time, it will give me a chance."

"It's really noisy, but I didn't expect this woman to become Hokage."

On the other side of the training ground, Deidara and Darui stood together, they didn't go down to meet their students either.

Listening to the roaring cheers, Deidara pursed his lips. To be honest, this scene had a big impact on him.

"There's nothing strange about it, she has the ability and prestige, and she also has a Hokage teacher, it's normal to get to this point."

Darui seemed particularly calm, his eyes were always looking at the field, and there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes.

"Tch."

Deidara snorted lightly, but for some reason, he seemed to be a little touched by this scene as well

"Hokage ah…"

On the stands where Shūzawa was, Kurenai couldn't help but feel emotional as she watched the cheering residents around her.

Might Guy was already excitedly cheering and shouting, only Asuma calmly lit a cigarette for himself.

Shūzawa, holding Hikari, looked up at Tsunade on the high platform. The current Tsunade didn't have her usual laziness, and the whole person looked shrewd and capable.

"Finally became Hokage? Then can I also say 'You will regret it' in the future?'"

Shūzawa thought with some amusement in his heart, while Kakashi was also looking up and watching all of this seriously at this moment.

Under the sunlight, everything was full of vitality and all things were competing to grow, the light seemed to blow away the darkness, making everyone feel invigorated!

It's just that when Kakashi noticed the names being drawn and arranged below, his face suddenly turned dark again.

"First match, Naruto Uzumaki VS Neji Hyūga."

Sure enough…

Konoha's sky is still as dark as ever…

I have a cold and diarrhea, I'm a bit weak, sorry for the late update.

Chapter 151 One-Tail, Hello, One-Tail, Goodbye

Kakashi only had one feeling now.

Konoha's sky…

Is too dark!

Naruto is his disciple, he naturally knows what level Naruto has.
