The Fourth Hokage's Inauguration Ceremony! (Seeking Follow-ups~)

Kamui—even possessing just one eye is enough to grant Kage-level strength, let alone the dual Kamui.

The abilities of the left-eye Kamui and the right-eye Kamui are actually quite similar; if one had to distinguish them, it could be said that the left-eye Kamui leans toward offense, while the right-eye Kamui leans toward defense and support.

This is because the left-eye Kamui cannot phase parts of the user's body like the right-eye Kamui, and the right-eye Kamui cannot perform long-range attacks like the left-eye Kamui.

To summarize the dual Kamui in one word: broken!

"Dual Kamui—since I've obtained it, how could I not put it to the test?"

Uchiha Chen raised an eyebrow and cast his gaze toward a chair beside him.

The moment he awakened the dual Kamui, he understood exactly how to utilize its related abilities.

"Kamui!"

With a flick of Uchiha Chen's will, the space in front of his left eye instantly began to distort. With a sharp crack, one of the chair's legs vanished into thin air.

Looking at the chair now standing on only three legs, Uchiha Chen smiled faintly. He closed his eyes for a few minutes before suddenly opening them again.

Uchiha Chen slowly raised his right hand and immediately activated the right-eye Kamui. In no time at all, his right hand disappeared completely!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. With this ability, I am essentially invincible!"

Looking at his empty sleeve, Uchiha Chen's face was filled with a wide grin.

As for why he didn't use the right-eye Kamui on himself, he wasn't foolish enough to sever his own arm.

After another few minutes passed, Uchiha Chen stood before his bed, his eyes gleaming with a hint of anticipation.

As the space in front of him distorted, his entire body began to vanish bit by bit until he disappeared entirely!

"Is this the Kamui Dimension?"

Uchiha Chen felt his vision blur for a moment, and he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.

It seemed like an endless void, yet it also felt as though he could see the end of it at a glance. The floor beneath his feet felt solid, and there were countless cubes and rectangular blocks stretching out into the distance.

Beyond that, near Uchiha Chen's feet, lay a piece of wood—the very chair leg he had sent in just moments ago.

"I wonder if this is my own personal Kamui Dimension or if it's connected to... well, never mind. Time to head back."

Uchiha Chen chuckled. Regardless of what the future held, he would face it as it came.

With that, Uchiha Chen activated Kamui once more, and before long, he returned to his room.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Almost the moment Uchiha Chen emerged from the other dimension, a series of knocks echoed from his door.

"Who is it?"

Uchiha Chen frowned.

"Brother Chen, it's me. Minato's inauguration ceremony for the Fourth Hokage is about to begin."

It was Jiraiya knocking at the door.

"That's right, today is Namikaze Minato's inauguration ceremony!"

Uchiha Chen slapped his forehead. Seeing there was nothing to tidy up, he walked straight to the door and pulled it open.

As soon as he opened it, he was met with Jiraiya's somewhat "resentful" gaze.

"Brother Chen, what were you doing in there? I knocked for so long before you answered. I thought you weren't home."

"Cough, it's nothing. I've just been so immersed in my training lately that I didn't hear the knocking."

"I heard Minato mention that. Let's pick up the pace; the ceremony is starting soon."

"Right!"

Just as Uchiha Chen and Jiraiya were rushing toward the inauguration ceremony, a vortex appeared within the other dimension, and a figure slowly emerged.

"Is this the power of my Mangekyou Sharingan?"

A man with spiky hair, wearing a black hooded cloak and an orange spiral mask, looked around the dimension and muttered to himself.

Clearly, this man was none other than Uchiha Obito, whom Hatake Kakashi and the others believed to be dead!

"As long as I master this ability, my chances of capturing the Tailed Beasts will increase significantly."

"If what Uchiha Madara said about the Eye of the Moon Plan is true..."

Uchiha Obito clenched his fist and slowly raised it, his eyes growing increasingly resolute.

"Rin, wait for me. I will create a world where you exist!"

In Konoha, Below the Hokage Rock, where the faces of the First through Third Hokage were carved, A vast plaza was packed with a dense crowd; as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a sea of heads.

Standing on the plaza were all the ninja of Konoha!

At this moment, the ninja of Konoha all looked up, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed in the same direction.

It was a high platform, and atop this platform, The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, followed by two high-ranking Konoha advisors, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, watched with a solemn expression as Namikaze Minato stood before them, clad in a white Hokage haori.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slowly removed the Hokage hat from his head and walked over to Namikaze Minato, who accepted the hat with an equally serious expression and placed it upon his head.

"I leave it to you, Fourth!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said solemnly.

Handing the mantle of Hokage to such a young man might just bring true change to Konoha.

Namikaze Minato nodded with a grave expression.

"I am willing to offer my life!"

As Namikaze Minato turned and walked to the edge of the platform to face the gathered ninjas of Konoha, a wave of cheers erupted from the training ground, resounding through the heavens.

With this, Namikaze Minato officially succeeded as the Fourth Hokage!

"This means Minato has at most one year left before he kicks the bucket."

Uchiha Chen stood in the crowd, looking up at the platform at Namikaze Minato's face, which shone brilliantly under the sunlight, and muttered to himself, turning a deaf ear to the cheers surrounding him.

If he were to be honest, even if he managed to prevent the deaths of Minato and his wife, it might not necessarily stop the Uchiha Clan's rebellion or the night of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation...

Besides, he and Namikaze Minato had only met a few times...

But, even though they had only met a few times, you were still willing to teach me the Flying Thunder God; how could I bear to watch you die just like that?

Just then, a large hand suddenly rested on Uchiha Chen's shoulder.

"Little Brother Chen, everyone else has left; why are you spacing out again?"

Needless to say, it was Jiraiya.

"Ahem, it's nothing..."

"Hey, no need to be embarrassed. You just want to be Hokage, right? What's there to hide? As long as you work hard, the Fifth Hokage will definitely be yours!"

"Uh..."

Looking at the "I understand" expression on Jiraiya's face, Uchiha Chen could only think: Hokage? Not even a dog would want that job!

But seeing Jiraiya's expression, Uchiha Chen couldn't be bothered to explain anything.

"Hehe, I'm going to go talk to Minato. Do you want to come along?"

"I'll pass; I still need to go back and continue my training."

"Fair enough. Keep at it, I believe in you!"

Watching Jiraiya turn back to cheer him on, Uchiha Chen could only shrug helplessly and turn to leave.
