Inside the Ninja Academy.
The participating Genin, and even the proctoring teachers, were completely oblivious.
All examination rooms are sealed off from internal and external communication; the only means of communication is the walkie-talkies worn by the invigilators.
Bored out of his mind, Akimichi Choza in the corner of the classroom, secretly taking out a bag of snacks from his ninja tool bag and chewing them in barely perceptible sounds.
Kabuto was still recalling that afternoon in the lab, wondering what number he had accidentally overheard in the Voice of Konoha.
65.43% or 65.56%?
Knowing the process, Dou didn't just wait for the answers to be given in the exam room; she wanted to try doing it herself first.
After all, doing problems is more fun than just spacing out.
Unaware of anything happening to the outside world, they had no idea that they had almost been abandoned by a heartless Hokage and nearly Yomi, except for Natsuri.
Fortunately, the Konoha Ninja were quite capable, giving them a chance to survive.
The moment the Four Red Yang Formation rose, Ren calmly sat back down at his desk.
The position of Hokage is one that deserves to be held.
To be honest, Ren really didn't expect the Sealing Squad to be able to use the Four Red Yang Formation.
All applications and approvals will eventually be sent to Ren for review.
Ren did indeed review it, literally reviewed it!
With Konoha being such a large entity, Ren believed that as the Hokage, he should be considering the bigger picture!
Ren didn't think he needed to personally oversee this byproduct of the Sealing Squad applying for a project at the Experimental Building.
As long as you stay within your budget, feel free to experiment!
After carefully reviewing the document, Ren realized that this thing was definitely not as good as the Four Red Yang Formation launched by the four Kage, but it was indeed quite good for Konoha's defense.
This will save me a lot of effort.
At the very least, Pain would have a hard time carrying Konoha's rice.
At this point, Ren couldn't help but complain about Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade: is managing a village really that difficult?
We'll provide enough money, enough skills, and enough recognition!
The village naturally prospered, so there was no need to worry so much.
I really don't know how Konoha ended up in such a sorry state in the original story.
I, Uchiha Yushu, becoming the Fifth Hokage was indeed the people's wisest choice.
Before he could revel in his newfound enjoyment for long, Ren had serious business to attend to.
The troublemakers have been captured and taken to Konoha.
Ren decided to go and see the people who had made such a big splash.
There were four prisoners in total.
That's right, Fū didn't die.
This ninja, whose true form was hair, attempted to escape after being struck by Guy, signaling for the Reaper Reincarnation. However, he was ultimately caught up and captured alive by Konoha Ninja.
In the original story, Naruto would probably have been killed if it weren't for the Nine-Tails. However, this time he has messed with Konoha's stronghold. No matter how fancy his techniques are, he is powerless against a group of Konoha Ninja.
Its true form was immediately revealed, making the battle a foregone conclusion.
Ren looked at the four henchmen who didn't exist in the original manga, but only appeared in the anime.
Although the reason was special, most of Konoha's elite forces were busy with other matters.
But the truth is, these few small fry almost destroyed Konoha, Ren once again felt the unreliability of the Chakra system.
Only by adopting one's own template and through methods like Kai's, which involve genuinely training one's own body, can one truly master power.
All the other things, like attribute counters and bloodstains, look quite impressive, but they're really quite superficial.
If it weren't for the Sealing Squad's efforts, even Jiraiya, or even Deva Path Pain, from the Ninja Academy would probably be reduced to dust if they hadn't escaped in time.
If this were a cultivation world, a Golden Core cultivator would crush any number of Qi Refining cultivators. Strength is strength, in every aspect!
Ren watched Orochimaru bustling about and felt he needed to hurry up and push Orochimaru to catch up.
That special kind of Chakra might be the true manifestation of the power of the Chakra system.
After all, the Sage of Six Paths, who can sculpt the moon with his bare hands, would be a top-tier figure even in a cultivation world.
They must have kept some secrets when they were distributing Chakra!
Unable to find a solution to the problems within its own system, the only option left is to focus on research.
As for developing the Sharingan and eventually awakening the Rinnegan, Ren has a feeling that there are pitfalls on this path!
This kind of thing should be left to Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto; after all, they are, to some extent, the sons of the Sage of Six Paths.
Even if there are pitfalls, it shouldn't be too badly ripped off!
Even ordinary people can accomplish great things; this is a unique characteristic of the Jonin world.
While Ren was pondering, Orochimaru had already completed a series of tests.
After undergoing plastic surgery, Orochimaru naturally appeared openly in Konoha.
"Lord Hokage, we haven't found anything unusual!"
In front of everyone, Orochimaru very considerately gave Ren face.
Upon hearing this, Ren activated his Sharingan again and carefully examined the four people, discovering that they were indeed just four ordinary ninjas.
Konoha has countless ninjas like this.
In the end, Ren also came up empty-handed. Rubbing his eyes, Ren thought to himself.
Am I just being too suspicious?
"Let's go, you can handle the rest yourselves!"
