Konoha Shinobi Village?
Fourth Hokage?
What were all these things?!
Why had he never heard of them in all his years?
Nick Fury was deeply puzzled. He wondered what kind of village Konoha Shinobi Village was to have someone so powerful!
Nick Fury had already learned about Hulk on his way here. In his view, Hulk was more powerful than Iron Man and a more suitable candidate for his Avengers.
But now, the immensely powerful Hulk and Abomination, who was no weaker than him, had both been defeated by this Minato Namikaze standing before him. Abomination had even been killed!
Nick Fury could not help but be shocked.
But something even more shocking was yet to come. Not only was Minato Namikaze incredibly fast, he could even create flames!!
The enormous fireball radiated intense heat, and the shockwave from its explosion forced the agents to take several steps back.
Seeing this, Wu Chen hoisted Banner onto his shoulder and leaped away.
Abomination's corpse burned fiercely.
"Fire! Put it out, quickly!!"
But it was already too late.
By the time the fire extinguishers sprayed out their white foam, the corpse was already cooked.
It was completely useless for research.
Nick Fury looked up, but Wu Chen and Banner had long since vanished. For the first time, he felt a sense of frustration.
But he quickly recovered. "Wake General Ross and the others and deal with the aftermath!"
Click, click~
People nearby were taking pictures, and Nick Fury was too late to stop them.
In this information age, with the internet spanning the globe, everything that had happened here was bound to become public knowledge.
That night, someone uploaded a video of Minato Namikaze beating up Abomination and Hulk from start to finish to YouTube. It instantly shot to the top of the trending list.
Wu Chen had made no particular effort to conceal what he said when he left, so the names Konohagakure and Hokage instantly took on an impressive air.
Countless internet users speculated about where Konohagakure was and what a Hokage was.
But Wu Chen's claim to be the "Fourth Hokage" gave them a lead.
Japan seemed to be the only place that used titles like that!
Could Konohagakure be in Japan? Was it a Japanese organization?
As for the Hokage, it seemed to be the leader of Konohagakure or something like that.
If everyone in Konohagakure were that strong, Konoha would have ruled the world long ago.
The authorities accepted this theory, and S.H.I.E.L.D. joined forces with the United Nations to pressure Japan overnight, demanding the location of Konohagakure.
Japan naturally had no way to explain its predicament. How was it supposed to know where Konoha was?
If not for the video on YouTube, they would not even have known that Konoha and the Hokage existed (did people in the Marvel Universe know about Naruto? No, they did not, because Marvel Comics was created much earlier than the Naruto manga, so naturally they could not have known it existed).
They did not know, but the other powers simply refused to believe them.
Seeing this, Japan was straightforward about it and laid its cards on the table. "If you want to come and look, then come! We'll cooperate the whole way! A village that big can't be impossible to find, can it? If you really can't find it, that means it isn't here in Japan!"
Afterward, of course, they could not find it.
But all of that came later, and Wu Chen knew nothing about it.
At that moment, Dr. Banner, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, slowly woke up.
Hulk really was impressive. He had taken such a beating, yet he was already able to wake up.
Once Banner woke up, Wu Chen put him down.
He was still in Minato Namikaze's form. It seemed he could remain transformed as long as he did not choose to undo it.
"You defeated Hulk?" Bruce Banner's expression was complicated. Though he had phrased it as a question, his tone was certain.
Banner and Hulk did not share memories, but when he transformed into Hulk, Banner could still see a few scattered images.
It felt like fragments of a dream.
Among them were scenes of Abomination being killed and Hulk being defeated by a Flying Thunder God combo.
Wu Chen nodded. It was not something he needed to hide.
"All right, now that you've recovered, I'll be going."
Was Banner a good person? Of course he was.
That was why Wu Chen treated him kindly.
But Banner stopped Wu Chen and pleaded, "Minato Namikaze, right? Can I stay with you?"
Wu Chen frowned. "Why?"
"You can defeat Hulk. You can restrain him. I need your help. I don't want to hurt other people when I get angry."
Bruce Banner spoke earnestly. This was clearly what he truly thought.
Wu Chen fell silent, weighing the gains and losses.
At the same time, his consciousness sank into the system space.
He had been too busy rescuing people and fighting to examine his cheat before. Now he could look into it while he thought.
[Host: Wu Chen]
[Current role: Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage]
[Current Roleplay Progress: 25%]
[Available roles: Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage]
[Role draws available: 0]
He... if he remembered correctly, his Roleplay Progress had been fifteen percent before. At the time, he had wondered whether it was because he and Minato Namikaze had a lot in common.
Could it be because... I just killed Abomination, defeated Hulk and General Ross, the man behind all of this, and fulfilled my predecessor's obsession?
If Wu Chen had not arrived, his predecessor, who had been knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of the head, would most likely have died at the scene of Abomination's rampage.
After all, with no one to rescue him, he would surely have died in those circumstances.
Just then, the system's ethereal voice rang out again.
[This system is the Strongest Role-Playing System. It can draw any character from all the worlds, allowing the host to transform into and play that role]
[The more closely the host plays the role, the higher the Roleplay Progress and the stronger the power the host gains. When the host plays a role to perfection, the strength he can wield may even surpass that of the character himself]
Roleplay Progress... Roleplay Progress!
"I see, I understand now!"
Wu Chen's eyes flashed.
Ninja! What was a ninja?
Taking missions, completing them, and receiving payment—that was what a ninja in the world of Naruto did.
From Madara Uchiha to Naruto Uzumaki, they had all taken and completed missions!
It was an indispensable part of being a ninja.
By killing Abomination, Wu Chen had effectively completed a mission given to him by his predecessor.
His payment was everything his predecessor had. From then on, he was no longer Wu Chen of the Marvel Universe!
He was Minato Namikaze, Konoha's Fourth Hokage.
Was there any more direct or simple way to play his role than to accept missions and complete every one of them?
Now, Wu Chen understood how he should play Minato Namikaze from here on.
It was not just a matter of acting in accordance with Minato Namikaze's personality; he could also raise his Roleplay Progress through missions.
With that in mind, Wu Chen had an idea about Dr. Banner's request.
