So That I Can Become the Raikage 4K

Given the right educational environment, one can become very strong.

Senju Hashirama was like that when he was young; you could say he was a bit dim-witted, but that didn't stop him from being incredibly strong.

For the Konoha Ninja in the stands, watching the blond-haired boy in the arena who could skillfully use the Body Flicker Technique gave them a sense that the name of the Yellow Flash had a worthy successor.

On the highest vantage point, Namikaze Minato was pleased that his son had mastered the Body Flicker Technique so well, and he was also happy that his son had inherited his mother's Chakra talent, so he didn't have to conserve Chakra like he did during battle.

Chakra levels are Namikaze Minato's greatest weakness.

So much so that although he practiced the immortal Senjutsu of Mount Myoboku, the time he spent on it was so short that it was hard to believe.

After becoming Hokage, he didn't have any real combat opportunities for many years. With the rapid turnover of top-tier ninjas, very few people knew about his weakness.

Rasa Naruto Uzumaki handling the Sand Ninjutsu Techniques with such ease.

It is foreseeable that once this child grows up, he will become a very formidable enemy.

The Sand Village excels in mechanical arts, and in the past, when Sand Village puppeteers fought against Konoha Ninja, the Hyuga Clan ninjas were the ones whose methods were most limited.

The Hyuga Clan ninja, capable of cutting off Chakra flow and possessing extraordinary insight, are the bane of puppeteers.

There is another type: those who are masters of the Body Flicker Technique.

The Konoha White Fang went on a killing spree in the Land of Wind, and his Body Flicker Technique played a crucial role in that.

In the first two battles, Leaf Village's Genin also displayed amazing talent. Considering that they were all rookies, it can be judged that Leaf Village's talent is beginning to emerge.

In contrast, consider Sand Village...

The scales in Rasa's heart began to tip.

"Lord Hokage, your child is exceptionally talented," Rasa suddenly said.

"Not at all, your child is also quite remarkable. To have mastered your village's Sand Ninjutsu so skillfully at such a young age, the Lord Kazekage successor."

As the two were talking, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly unleashed a Rasengan in the arena.

The power of the Rasengan had a special effect against Gaara's sand, carving a path through the sand.

"Isn't that... the Lord Hokage's Ninjutsu?" An older Konoha Ninja recognized it.

Specially made Kunai and Chakra balls were Namikaze Minato Namikaze's standard equipment before he became Hokage. In addition, he was always running around on the battlefield, so quite a few people had seen him use them.

Uchiha Obito watched intently from the audience.

[Teacher, you've raised this child so well...]

While calculating the duration of Shukaku's loss of control, Uchiha Obito also felt that, based on Naruto Uzumaki's performance, he should be able to survive.

[Never mind, I don't need to lay a hand on this child...]

After thinking it over, Uchiha Obito decided not to Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, if the plan goes smoothly, he will be able to implement the Eye of the Moon in a few years. At most, these Genin present will be ordinary Jonin, which will not have much impact on him.

He would do anything for the Eye of the Moon, but he never kills intentionally.

Yes, he really could do anything, and not gouge out his other eye was definitely not because that eye was with Hatake Kakashi.

He simply doesn't need to. After all, Hatake Kakashi is an elite Jonin of Leaf Village; Jonin he were to try and steal it, it would attract too much attention. He doesn't need to, right?

That's it.

The Rinnegan is nothing special; he's a man who can have both eyes intact at any time, he just hasn't gone to get them back yet!

[Those two Grass Ninja are still quite useful... Nagato, you should really take good care of Shukaku.]

With the expected time fast approaching, Uchiha Obito stopped paying attention to the examination hall, stood up, and left the audience like Orochimaru.

We can begin.

At that moment, Tsunade appeared at the stadium entrance.

The Konoha Ninja guarding the entrance were all young people of the new generation. They didn't recognize Tsunade, and when they saw her trying to barge in, they quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Girl, the exam has been going on for quite some time now, you can't go in now."

Hearing the little guy call her "girl" made Tsunade feel a bit better, so she decided to be nicer to him.

"Get lost, I'm looking for the Hokage."

One of them flicked his finger on the head, the force just right, making both of them buzz.

While they were buzzing around, Tsunade had already slipped through the door.

However, she wasn't familiar with the new building and went to the wrong door. When she came out of the stairwell, she found herself at the athletes' rest area.

Suddenly, a woman with an exaggeratedly large bust appeared, startling the contestants.

Because this person's style of dress is completely that of an ordinary person.

But some people here recognize her.

"Lady Tsunade!?" Mitarashi Anko, the manager of the rest area, was stunned when she saw Tsunade appear.

She saw Tsunade frequently when she was little, so she wouldn't mistake her for someone else.

You can't mistake a face for a chest.

"Huh? You recognize me?" Tsunade squinted at her. "You are... Orochimaru's... Never mind, how do I get to this godforsaken place? Take me to the Hokage."

"Yes!" Mitarashi Anko didn't say anything like "Why are you back?" She knew about the shady dealings in this exam.

She first instructed the nearby Konoha Ninja to take over her duties, and then she led Tsunade to the highest viewing platform where the Hokage was located.

However, just as she turned around, she saw Tsunade shout at her from in front of her.

"Get down!"

A roar unlike any human's, resounding through everyone's ears, instantly drowned out all other sounds.

Chapter Twenty: In order to make me the Raikage 4K

As the examination venue for the third round of the Joint Chunin Exams, the largest open-air gymnasium built during the era of the Fourth Hidden Leaf Village, now, when people inside look up, they no longer see the sky.

A colossal, earthen-yellow beast unfolded its form.

The audience was completely silent.

Ordinary people were dumbfounded.

Luckily, this thing hadn't fully extended its body yet; otherwise, that attack would have caused heavy casualties among the audience.

After a brief silence, gasps and exclamations erupted from the audience.

Not all those sitting here are villagers from Hidden Leaf Village.

In the Hokage world, only places like ninja villages periodically train their residents on how to take refuge.

However, for outsiders, even in a ninja village with a well-established evacuation system, the first reaction to a sudden and shocking event is still like that of a small animal whose nest has been blown up.

Fortunately, to avoid chaos caused by too many people, Hidden Leaf Village had stationed ninjas throughout the area from the beginning, which prevented the disturbance from escalating into an accident.

But that ever-expanding behemoth will sooner or later engulf the stadium in real chaos.

That's how it should normally be.

"So that's what they were planning..." Uchiha Shingen looked at Shukaku below. He had been mentally prepared for the sudden change and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Naruto Uzumaki back to the players' rest platform.

With Mitarashi Anko there, she will lead the little ones to safety in time.

Fortunately, due to the angle, the audience below could not see Shukaku's eyes.

Those were Sharingan.

[Obito... don't you think Tailed Beasts have huge eyes?!]

Uchiha Shingen released the sand clump beneath his feet and used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to fly above the forming Shukaku.

Hovering high in the air, Uchiha Shingen seemed to sense something and glanced towards the stands.

Several figures stood there, watching his direction.

"Not a single good person..." Muttering to himself, Uchiha Shingen had already made his move.

In the sky, a large net of Chakra chains spread out, completely covering Shukaku below. This Ninjutsu, originally developed by the Uzumaki Clan, has been used time and again, making it hard not to suspect that it was originally designed to deal with Tailed Beasts.

After the chains enveloped him, Uchiha Shingen tightened his fingers, completely binding the still-developing Shukaku, and then activated Ninjutsu.

Ninja Art: Flying Thunder God Shadow Shift.

In an instant, Shukaku disappeared from the stadium.

At the same time, the feedback from the destruction of the Shadow Clone was also transmitted effectively.

After processing the information, Uchiha Shingen's eyes turned cold. He turned around and flew directly towards the stands.

Below, the evacuating crowd was stunned by Shukaku's sudden disappearance, but the flow of people only paused for a moment before continuing, as the Konoha Ninja in the area took the opportunity to speed up the evacuation.

Meanwhile, in the middle stands where the daimyo of various countries were located, there was Sarutobi Hiruzen and his old buddies. Apart from Uchiha Obito, the enemy ninjas would not attack the daimyo, so there was nothing to worry about.

Uchiha Shingen trusted his village's competence in this regard, so he ignored those below and flew to the stands as quickly as possible before landing.

When he landed on the stands, the people who had been sitting there were in an eerie atmosphere.

Ōnoki remained seated in his usual spot, slurping down a drink.

The special Kumogakure, Yeyue Fu, and his men have disappeared without a trace.

The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, remained seated in his designated spot, his expression still smiling and amiable.

Namikaze Minato and Rasa, though not physically fighting, were essentially in a standoff.

Only when Uchiha Shingen landed did these people seem to notice him and turn their gazes towards him.

"The Jinchūriki of Sunagakure was caught in Genjutsu," Uchiha Shingen stated succinctly. "Just like that night."

Namikaze Minato immediately understood.

"Lord Kazekage, could you explain why the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure are participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

"Although he is Jinchūriki, he is also Sand Village ninja and my son. There's no problem with me letting him participate in the Chunin Selection Exam," Rasa said.

Although his mind was already tipped, it didn't stop him from observing further.

Judging from what he said, there doesn't seem to be a big problem.

After all, Uzumaki Kushina was already Jinchūriki when she participated in the Chunin Selection Exam, but she didn't go to another village to take the Chunin Ninja Exams.

"Does Lord Kazekage mean that you were unaware of Shukaku's loss of control?"

"Of course. By the way, where did Gaara take Gaara?" Shingen 'Rasa eyes flashed. "Does Leaf Village intend to use this as a pretext to launch a war against Sand Village?"

"The war has already begun," said Uchiha Shingen. "Gaara should be with the Rock Ninja Iwagakure Ninja right now. Hmm, if Iwagakure intend to betray us, he's probably already fighting them."

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Ōnoki.

Faced with such a gaze, Ōnoki calmly put down his drink.

"So, Leaf Village has already started fighting with our village's ninjas?" he asked.

"According to the defense regulations, if any unregistered and threatening objects appear outside the high walls, an indiscriminate strike will be launched against that area," Uchiha Shingen said. "After all, so many ninjas are hiding in the forest."

"Heh..." Ōnoki sneered, "Since the war has begun, let's fight. Whether this old bone of mine will break here is still unknown until the very end."

"Lord Tsuchikage, you've decided to betray our alliance after all," Namikaze Minato, seemingly with regret. "That's truly a pity."

"No need to pretend, Fourth Hokage. You understand the true nature of this alliance better than this old man does."

"I see. No wonder you specifically arranged for such weak candidates this time." Namikaze Minato nodded.

Ōnoki's face immediately darkened.

This was arranged by a genius!

The Iwagakure was based on Genin, okay?

Forget it, the Iwagakure doesn't judge heroes by their individual prowess!

"It's not a matter of unknowns. If your true form were to come, you would surely die here." Uchiha Shingen's tone was polite, but his words were anything but harmonious. "Without you, Iwagakure is like a pillar that has been torn away. It's a real pity. One of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is about to disappear."

"Stop being so arrogant, Shingen." Ōnoki stood up. "When has your Uchiha Clan ever considered having allies? It's been like this for decades."

Don't you know why Uchiha Madara beat you and your master back then?

"The Uchiha Clan simply prefers to solve problems in relatively simple ways. Speaking of which..." Uchiha Shingen looked at Karatachi Yagura, "Lord Mizukage, what's going on here now?"
