"The defeated Six Paths Level opponent was already that strong. Lord Torikaze must be even more formidable. We need to watch what we say this afternoon."
Mikoto was somewhat worried. After all, Fugaku had acted offensively back then. If Lord Torikaze was the type to hold grudges, they certainly would not have an easy time in the future.
Still, someone who could become Hokage and be so beloved by the villagers probably did not have a bad temperament.
With that thought, Mikoto felt slightly relieved.
"Ah, we witnessed the defeat of a Six Paths Level ninja with our own eyes, and we also witnessed the birth of a new Six Paths Level ninja..."
"It's truly strange and surreal. I wonder whether we'll ever be able to reach such heights one day."
Mikoto Uchiha smiled faintly. "Are you being foolish? Don't look so far ahead. A person's fate is decreed by heaven; walking the path beneath your feet is the right thing to do."
Fugaku froze for a moment. "Yes, my wife is right."
After that, the two continued cheering along with the villagers.
At that moment, inside the Trial Tower, the Pale Plain had vanished, and everyone had returned to the waiting hall.
Every one of them wore excited expressions!
"We succeeded! We finally succeeded!"
"Yes! After working so hard for so long, we finally succeeded today!"
No one knew what to say. Some of the more emotional people had already begun to cry.
As the central figure, Tobirama Senju sat quietly on the grass. Though his face showed little expression, his heart was already surging with turbulent waves.
He could hardly believe that they had passed just like that. The moment he saw the reward, he knew how he could become Six Paths Level.
