"The Six Paths-level ninja who was defeated was already this strong. Lord Torifu must be even more formidable. We'll have to be careful what we say this afternoon."
Mikoto was a little worried. After all, Fugaku had made an offensive gesture earlier. If Lord Torifu was the kind of person who held a grudge, they would surely be in for trouble in the future.
Still, anyone who could become Hokage and be so beloved by the villagers probably wasn't bad-tempered.
Thinking of this, Mikoto felt a little more at ease.
"Ah, we witnessed the defeat of a Six Paths-level ninja with our own eyes, and the birth of a new Six Paths-level ninja..."
"It's truly incredible and surreal. I wonder if we'll ever reach that height ourselves."
Uchiha Mikoto smiled faintly. "Don't be silly. Don't look so far ahead. A person's fate is decided by heaven. The right thing to do is walk the road beneath your feet."
Fugaku was taken aback. "That's true. You're right, dear."
With that, the two continued cheering along with the villagers.
At that moment, inside the Trial Tower, the Pale Plain disappeared, and everyone returned to the waiting hall.
Everyone wore excited expressions!
"We did it! We finally did it!"
"That's right! After all these years of effort, we finally succeeded today!"
No one knew what to say. Some of the more emotional ones were already in tears.
Tobirama, the protagonist of it all, sat quietly on the grass. His face showed little emotion, but his heart was already surging like a storm.
He could hardly believe they had cleared it just like that. And the moment he saw his reward, he knew how he would become a Six Paths-level ninja.
