Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

How could this be... that panda-eyed guy is actually a Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast?

Kakashi, who arrived just in time with Sasuke, narrowed his eyes in horror.

Konoha dared to let Naruto participate in the Chunin Exams because the Uzumaki clan's seal was extremely strong, and they were not worried about the Nine-Tails causing any problems.

However, the situation in Sunagakure was obviously different. Jinchuriki were the ultimate deterrent for each village. No matter how strong the alliance between Sunagakure and Konoha was, it was impossible for them to believe that Konoha would not be greedy for such a powerful weapon as the Tailed Beasts, let alone completely disregard the fact that Konoha had detained Shukaku.

Unless they intended to...

Just as Kakashi had pieced together most of the events, Orochimaru, holding Hiruzen Sarutobi hostage, rushed to the roof of the Chunin Exams. One of Orochimaru's followers flicked his finger, and a metal clasp suddenly fell off, spewing out a large amount of gray smoke that enveloped the surroundings and then transformed into a conspicuous gray smoke column that shot into the sky—the signal that the Konoha Crush plan had begun.

The loud bang of the signal flare echoed through the Chunin Exams arena, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

The Sand and Sound Ninja who had been lying in ambush outside the high walls of Konoha Village no longer hid and rushed out from their respective ambush locations, running wildly towards Konoha at top speed.

The already perfectly arranged summoning array lit up simultaneously. As the prepared summoning scrolls were placed at various nodes of the array, an astonishing burst of chakra erupted from the center of the array, with light rising and the hissing of snakes emanating from it.

In the crowd, Kabuto Yakushi, disguised as an ANBU member, slightly curled the corners of his mouth under his mask, formed hand seals, and uttered a low shout.

"The Art of Nirvana Abode"

Large feathers drifted down, instantly silencing the previously noisy Chunin Exams. The commoners and nobles in the audience lowered their heads and fell asleep upon seeing the feathers.

"As expected, there's something wrong with Sunagakure."

Kakashi and Might Guy were naturally unaffected by this large-scale genjutsu. Just as they were about to take action, the sound of wind breaking came from all sides. Five figures disguised as Konoha ANBU appeared around them, blocking the path of the two elite Jonin. The leader was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, who was wearing a mask.

Tetsuya, hang in there!

Even if Kakashi and Guy team up, breaking through the enemy's blockade will not be something that can be done in a short time. Kakashi can only hope that Tetsuya can hold out against Shukaku for a while, buying time for his reinforcements.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi already had a conclusion in his mind, when the time came, he still wanted to do everything he could to salvage the situation and prevent the alliance from breaking down and war from happening again.

Orochimaru did not speak, and maintained his holding position without letting go.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind breaking rang out one after another. The Sound Four, led by Kidomaru, launched a surprise attack and severely injured Hiruzen Sarutobi's guards. Without bothering to finish them off, they appeared in the four corners of the roof, each half-crouching on the ground and forming hand seals.

"Ninja Technique·Four Purple Flame Formation."

In an instant, a rectangular barrier with purple flames burning on its surface took shape, completely isolating the inside from the outside. It also caused an Anbu member who rushed over to support Hiruzen Sarutobi to be unable to dodge and crash straight into it. His body was engulfed in flames, and he screamed as he rolled and fell off the roof.

"Barrier..."

The squad leader, wearing a white ANBU mask, stood frozen in place, only able to hope that the Hokage would defeat the enemy and break the barrier from the inside.

"Ha ha……"

In the center of the examination hall, the enormous Shukaku's eyes suddenly changed shape, emitting a shrill, inhuman laugh.

"I'm finally out!"

Shukaku shouted to the sky, as if to release all the negative emotions that had been sealed away over the years.

"Leave here immediately. The Chunin Exams are over. This is no longer a battle you can interfere in."

Seeing Tetsuya standing quietly in place, seemingly unable to move due to the immense pressure of Shukaku's chakra, Genma Shiranui appeared beside Tetsuya in a flash, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"In front of the Tailed Beasts, there is no difference between special Jonin and Genin; they are all ants that can be slapped to death with one slap."

Tetsuya turned to look at Genma Shiranui beside him and saw a resolute look on the other's face.

"As long as all the ninjas of our generation are still alive, it won't be your turn to go to the battlefield as low-ranking ninjas."

Genma Shiranui spread his arms, blocking Tetsuya's path, his eyes filled with determination.

As a member of the Shadow Guard of the Fourth Hokage, Genma Shiranui's biggest regret was that he was helpless when the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc on Konoha, ultimately leading to the sacrifice of Minato Namikaze and his wife.

Looking at the enormous thing in front of him, Genma Shiranui felt as if he had returned to that terrible night, but this time, he would never let the tragedy repeat itself, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

"Tailed beasts aren't really that scary, especially the few new techniques I've mastered, which I've been looking forward to using."

Hearing Tetsuya's boastful words, Genma Shiranui frowned. He noticed that Shukaku hadn't made any big moves yet. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Tetsuya turn his head to look at something not far away.

"Kid, you've got pretty sharp senses. You actually detected my presence."

Genma Shiranui followed Tetsuya's gaze and saw a woman with light golden hair standing beside him. He was immediately stunned.

"Tsunade-sama...!"

Genma Shiranui's face lit up with ecstasy; the formidable reputation of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha brought him an unprecedented sense of security.

"You all step back. I'll handle Shukaku."

Although Tsunade was not good at dealing with such a behemoth, several large snakes had already broken through the walls and rushed into the village from the outskirts of Konoha. Jiraiya had already arrived there, so Tsunade had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to confront them.

"You've found the person you wanted to kill. Are you ready to face Lord Shukaku's judgment?"

After gesturing wildly for a while, Shukaku's gaze fell on Tsunade and Tetsuya. The chakra fluctuations of these two made Shukaku feel threatened, so they were naturally the first targets to be eliminated.

The only option is to summon slugs to buy some time...

Tsunade, whose hemophobia had not yet recovered, had no idea how much combat power she could exert. Just as she was about to bite her fingertip to cast a summoning jutsu, she suddenly sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation.

Tsunade turned her head in surprise and saw that Tetsuya's body was covered with a layer of blue chakra. Although it was the first time they had met, Tsunade felt a sense of kinship as if she had found a clansman.

The next moment, a scene that left Tsunade speechless appeared.

Tetsuya clapped his hands together, and the chakra on his body suddenly became full of vitality, causing the ground to tremble.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

Upon hearing Tetsuya utter the name of the technique, Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply. Before she could say anything, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Suddenly, the ground of the entire examination hall cracked open, and huge trees, each requiring two people to encircle, rapidly grew from the ground. In just two or three breaths, the dense trees filled the entire area. Thick branches shot out from all directions like writhing dragons towards Shukaku, and many more trees grew out against Shukaku's massive body, winding and coiling beneath it, trying to firmly bind Shukaku to the forest.

It really was my grandfather's Wood Release technique!

Is he a child of our Senju clan, or did he steal his grandfather's power like Madara Uchiha?

Tsunade stared at the sudden formation of a forest, her eyes becoming incredibly deep. Countless questions welled up in her mouth, but she didn't know where to begin.
