Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

They were all used as pawns.

"Sigh~~" The Second Hokage was really having a headache. "You still owe White Fang and Kakashi an apology."

"I also feel very sorry for not teaching my apprentice well." After all, he was the one who taught him, and he has to take half the responsibility for the foolish things his apprentice did.

"Tobirama-sensei!!" To make their teacher apologize on their behalf was simply... utterly humiliating; the two felt utterly ashamed.

Now they wish they could turn back time and never do such a thing again.

The two exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and bowed to Kakashi in apology.

Kakashi remained as still as a scarecrow. After a long while, he sighed deeply, "It doesn't matter anymore."

The words were so light they were like a breeze, easily blown away.

Yes, it doesn't matter anymore.

People are dead.

Their intentions were good; they were doing it for Konoha.

To quell the anger of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, it all sounds perfectly legitimate.

Who is at fault then?

Is it the father? What did the father do wrong? A ninja who doesn't cherish his comrades is worse than trash.

Is it a village? The village also suffered the wrath of the Fire Country Daimyo because of the mission's failure.

Is it the Daimyo of the Land of Fire? Is it the Third Hokage who didn't stop the rumors? Or is it Danzo who spread the rumors?

Or perhaps it's those who criticize their father behind his back for failing to complete the mission? Or the teammate who turns around and blames his father for not saving him?

Or are they those ninja rules that are so strict they're almost inhuman?

The more he thought about it, the less he felt there was an answer; it was like a tangled mess in his mind.

He spoke softly: "My father died to uphold his beliefs and the way of the ninja, and for me, that is enough."

My father is still a hero.

that's enough.

So that's how it is... Tobirama glanced at Kakashi, whose crescent-shaped smiling eyes concealed his inner sorrow, and was deeply shocked, as if he had finally glimpsed the true heart of this man from his few words.

I'm starting to understand why there's a Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.

Having experienced so much pain and sorrow.

Death and loss, yet still holding fast to one's original aspirations.

Holding fast to one's inner beliefs is something not everyone can do.

oh~~~

He slightly closed his eyelids, his cold gaze falling on Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, once outstanding disciples whom he was incredibly proud of and could entrust with Konoha with peace of mind.

Now his face is blurred.

Only two elders remained, corrupted by power and gradually losing their original intentions, stubbornly clinging to their ways.

"You should go back and rest for a while. You're getting on in years. Come back when you've thought things through."

"You've wronged not me, but yourselves."

It is the original intention that you once swore to protect Konoha with your lives.

These words caused their pupils to contract sharply, and they pressed their pale lips together tightly.

He wanted to argue for himself, but in the end he shut his mouth and slowly walked out with a hunched back.

Everyone in the meeting room kept their eyes down, no one daring to say a word.

I was just relieved that the Third Hokage wasn't there, otherwise the scene would probably have been even more embarrassing.

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Arno, as expected of my disciple, hahaha! Naruto is actually the prophesied child who shouted the Sage's prophecy to save the world!!"

Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed, breaking the awkward silence that was about to freeze.

Tsunade was thoroughly enjoying the show; those two old geezers were so satisfying.

Kakashi, he's so pitiful...

Hearing Jiraiya say that, she rolled her eyes. "My disciple is also very talented, okay? She's the future head of the medical department."

“Yes, the descendants of Konoha are something to look forward to, but what is the Child of Prophecy?” Tobirama looked at Jiraiya with some curiosity.

Chapter 35: The Return of the Guma Master, and the Origin of Naruto's Name?

Jiraiya scratched his head and said, "It's a prophecy from the Great Toad Sage, saying that among my disciples is someone who will bring destruction or change to the world."

He originally thought that the person who brought about this change was Nagato, but Nagato was dead.

Later he thought it was Minato, but Minato also died.

When the strange sky appeared, he thought that the "Child of Change" referred to Kakashi, since Kakashi's actions could indeed bring about earth-shattering changes to the ninja world.

However, Kakashi was not his disciple.

Only after the emergence of the Four War Heroes did he vaguely dare to be certain that this prophesied child might refer to Naruto.

"Naruto?" Yamanaka Inoichi frowned and thought for a long time. He did remember Uchiha Sasuke, after all, he was a descendant of the prestigious Uchiha family and the handsome boy his daughter often talked about.

As for Naruto Uzumaki... he knows that the child is the Fourth Hokage's child and the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, but he doesn't know anything else.

I've only heard occasionally that his grades are terrible and his ninjutsu is awful.

I never imagined he would be so successful in the future, becoming a hero of four wars.

To become a hero of the Fourth Shinobi World War, you definitely have to defeat Madara Uchiha.

They actually accomplished something that even the Five Kage of the Union couldn't do.

No wonder the ninjas above said their combat power was on par with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

It could also be the child of prophecy mentioned by Jiraiya, that's incredible!

“I see… Then I’ll leave Naruto to you from now on.” After thinking for two seconds, Tobirama decided not to let the Anbu guard him.

After all, Jiraiya alone is strong enough to hold off most ninjas. If even Jiraiya can't hold them off, then sending more Anbu members won't make a difference.

“Leave Uchiha Sasuke to me,” a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, and Orochimaru, dressed in a long robe, gracefully entered.

"Orochimaru, what are you planning now?" Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, her eyes full of vigilance. "Do you really have the patience to take on disciples? You're not planning to make some kind of vessel or research some kind of immortality, are you?"

"Hehe~ I'm not very interested in immortality right now," he said, his golden snake eyes gleaming slightly.

As expected of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, a master of forbidden techniques, casually gave him a few pointers, extending the lifespan of his body, which was on the verge of collapse.

He does not currently require a body transplant.

As for what happens next, that's hard to say.

After all, who can resist the charm of the Uchiha clan?

"I really miss those days of the Three Ninjas," he said cryptically. "Now they've each taken on a class of kids as their disciples. It's fate, isn't it?"

"And Sasuke is very willing to study with me."

"Fine, whatever you want, but if you're after him, it won't be that simple," the second-generation leader threatened, and he agreed.

Jiraiya frowned, deep in thought, somewhat worried about Sasuke, though he wasn't familiar with the child after all.

In the end, he didn't say anything.

Tsunade was even less inclined to care. With her second grandfather speaking up, Orochimaru probably wouldn't be able to pull any tricks under her nose.

. . . . . .

Naruto and Sasuke, unaware that they had been assigned guardians, had just left the ramen shop.

Then I saw their names.

"Eh? What do you mean? What do you mean?" Naruto grabbed Sasuke's sleeve, trying to get closer to see, his big blue eyes narrowed into slits.

Even after recognizing their names, he still looked completely bewildered.

[42L: Hoping to run into someone! Hoping to run into someone!]

[43L: A genin from Sunagakure said they also ran into the two of them. They were catching up with the Kazekage, Temari, and Kankuro in Sunagakure. Naruto is so handsome! I spotted him immediately in his bright orange tracksuit, hahaha.]

[44L: Upstairs, isn't Sasuke handsome?]

[45L: He's handsome, but incredibly aloof. One glance from his Sharingan and you're instantly frozen in place—terrifying.]

"Hmph, they were talking about us after all," Sasuke snorted arrogantly. Although he didn't care about the title of heroes of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he knew that he would definitely become very strong in the future.

He could even surpass that man, Uchiha Itachi!!

"Oh! It's us!" Naruto was still in a daze, staring blankly at the discussion above, feeling as if they were talking about a complete stranger.

. . . . . .

"Sasuke is one thing, but Naruto is also a hero of the Fourth Shinobi World War?!?!" Ino looked incredulous.

Her impression of Naruto was still that of a loser and a mischievous troublemaker.

“Naruto is really strong,” Shikamaru said with certainty. Even if he’s not strong now, he’ll definitely be strong in the future. He had that intuition.

"Crunch crunch, hmm, maybe, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future holds," Choji said, chewing on potato chips with an anticipation for lunch.

Ino: "..."

She still found it hard to believe. Was she the only one who thought it was making a fuss?

Was she the only one who overlooked Naruto's strength?

Hmm... Thinking hard, no matter how I think about it, Naruto is still the troublemaker in my mind!

. . . . . .

[46L: Sasuke's aura is indeed... full of killing intent. I feel like all Uchiha are like that. Seeing him reminds me of those Uchiha bosses, and for a moment, I'm transported back to the Fourth Shinobi World War.]

[47L: Same as above!]
