Land of Fire,
Hidden Leaf Village,
Valley of the End.
Uzumaki Naruto was completely enveloped in the red Chakra of Kurama.
Driven by his overflowing and powerful Chakra, it had already taken on the initial shape of a fox.
"Sasuke, even if I have to break your arms and legs, I will drag you back!"
At that moment, Sasuke had likewise transformed into the Curse Mark of Heaven state, a pair of wings sprouting from his back, making his entire appearance look extremely sinister!
"Naruto, if you've got what it takes, try and do it!"
"Rasengan!!!"
"Chidori!!!"
A powerful burst of Chakra energy manifested in both Naruto's and Sasuke's hands.
As these two energies violently collided with one another, the shockwave of the battle caused the entire Valley of the End to quake!
Before the eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, everything turned into a blinding white.
"Could it be that I... am going to die?"
Uzumaki Naruto muttered to himself, just as a crisp system chime suddenly rang in his ears.
[Ding! Viewing system activated! Live broadcast room starting, related characters loading...]
[Live chat room is opening...]
Hearing the sound echoing by his ear, Uzumaki Naruto opened his eyes.
Sasuke was equally bewildered.
From his similarly perplexed gaze, it was not hard to tell that Sasuke had also heard that strange voice!
System?
Viewing?
Chat room?
What on earth was that?
Meanwhile,
not just in the Valley of the End, but throughout the entire Shinobi World, everyone heard this crisp chime at the same time.
"What does 'viewing' mean?"
"Are we going to observe the Hokage?"
"I think Tsunade, the newly appointed Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, is quite nice!"
"I'm a fan of hers!"
"Well, in that case, I won't put up a front anymore."
"Terumi Mei of Kirigakure is generous and well-endowed!"
"I'd love to know more about Lord Mizukage's daily life, too!"
"You're shameless! Is that wanting to know about her life? You're just drooling over her body!"
"And what about you?"
"Hehe, I'm drooling too!"
...
In every corner of the Shinobi World, ninjas of all sizes were frozen in place, all rendered utterly unable to move.
Fortunately, nothing bad seemed to be happening for the moment.
Just as everyone was filled with confusion and incomprehension,
high above the sky of the Shinobi World,
two gigantic, wide screens—one black and one white—suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Following the appearance of the huge screens, the cold voice of the system once again enveloped the entire Shinobi World.
[Ding, important personnel of the Shinobi World have been successfully pulled in.]
[Ding, everyone can now speak in the live chat room. At the same time, the system will ask questions at random; answering correctly will yield generous rewards!]
[Ding, system rewards will be given to the top three places only. Reward contents include, but are not limited to, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Kekkei Genkai, and even the Reanimation of the Dead!]
[Ding, system prompt: if anyone deliberately rushes to answer and repeatedly answers incorrectly, certain penalties will also be levied, including but not limited to confiscation of previous rewards, draining of bodily Chakra, physical confiscation of certain body parts, or being directly sent to the Pure Land world, etc.!]
[Please take this seriously and enjoy the viewing!]
As the system's voice finished speaking, the entire Shinobi World was shocked!
Whether it was the hot-tempered Fourth Hokage,
or Pain who hid in the shadows calling himself a god while enjoying eating rice,
everyone discovered that they seemed to be confined within a single space, and the Chakra inside their bodies could not be channeled at all.
In other words,
until this system viewing session ended, no one could make any moves.
Orochimaru: Kimmimaro, where is Sasuke? I'm not going to last much longer!
Orochimaru was the first to send a message in the group.
At this point, his body was in agonizing, unbearable pain.
Since nobody in the Shinobi World liked him anyway, he might as well just ask directly in the group.
Kimmimaro: "..."
Orochimaru: "Speak up!"
Kimmimaro: "Lord Orochimaru, you might find this hard to believe."
Kimmimaro: "But I was ambushed by the Hidden Leaf and Sunagakure!"
Orochimaru: "Despicable Hidden Leaf Village, always fond of using such cheap, underhanded tricks."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Orochimaru, you unfilial disciple, how dare you accuse the Hidden Leaf of underhanded tricks?"
Asuma: "Orochimaru, the Hidden Leaf will never let you go for murdering the Third Hokage during the Chunin Exams! You have been classified as an S-rank missing-nin!"
Orochimaru: "Oh my, oh my, has Asuma smoked his brain to mush? A mere S-rank missing-nin—it's not like this is my first time!"
Orochimaru: "Talk to me when I'm SSS-rank!"
Orochimaru: "Besides, it's not just your Hidden Leaf that wants to kill me, Orochimaru. With just you, Asuma? You'd better step aside!"
Asuma: "..."
Uchiha Madara: "A Hidden Leaf S-rank missing-nin, what a nostalgic title!"
Senju Hashirama: "Eh, isn't this Madara? What a coincidence, you're not dead yet?"
Senju Tobirama: "Brother, didn't that system thing just say that people in the Pure Land can also chat in this so-called chat room!"
Senju Hashirama: "Naruto!"
Uchiha Madara: "Hmph, you're still the same, acting like an absolute idiot! Truly annoying!"
Senju Hashirama: "(?_?)i"
Uchiha Madara: Stop pretending, you guy. Back then you were just like this, looking all wronged while dealing me fatal blows!
Uchiha Madara: Back then I almost got blindsided to death by your wood clone. If it weren't for me...
Uchiha Madara caught himself, realizing he had almost let something slip.
He didn't want to expose the fact that he hadn't actually died back then—not just yet!
When the time was ripe,
he would give the Shinobi World a little surprise!
That—was the pride of the Uchiha clan!
Senju Hashirama: "Hahaha... I didn't expect you to still remember that, Madara. I did that for the peace of the Hidden Leaf and the Uchiha clan!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Shut up, all of you! Where is Naruto? Where is my precious child Uzumaki Naruto?"
Senju Hashirama: "Are you a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan? What a coincidence, my wife is from the Uzumaki Clan too!"
Namikaze Minato: "Pardon me, Lord First Hokage, Kushina has a rather fiery temper!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Eh, Minato, you're here too? Don't you even care about how our child Uzumaki Naruto is doing?"
At that moment, Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato who had suddenly appeared in the chat room.
Seeing their chatting text, an incredible look washed over his face.
Could I... actually be the son of the Fourth Hokage?
The privileged second-generation offspring turns out to be none other than myself?
No way!
Uzumaki Naruto: "Um, Lord Fourth Hokage, and this big sister Kushina, is the Uzumaki Naruto you're talking about me?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Naruto, that's wonderful! Being able to see you again makes Mom so happy!"
After typing out this line of text, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly remembered something.
Wait a minute, why didn't Naruto know that she was his mother and Minato was his father?
Uzumaki Kushina: "@Sarutobi Hiruzen, what is going on with Naruto!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that,
even after dying,
with grass already growing over his grave,
he would run into such an awkward situation.
He drafted a message several times,
editing it repeatedly before finally sending it out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Minato killed too many people during the Third Shinobi World War. For Naruto's safety, I concealed his identity!"
Orochimaru: "Is that really so, Professor Sarutobi?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Orochimaru, shut your mouth. We'll settle our accounts slowly after you die!"
Orochimaru: "Well then, I'm truly sorry, Professor Sarutobi. As a believer in science, I am immortal!"
Uchiha Madara: "That guy named Orochimaru, do you really have a way to achieve immortality?"
Orochimaru: "My, my, is the legendary Lord Uchiha Madara interested in this?"
Senju Hashirama: "Madara, what's so great about immortality? Ever since you died, I've been bored to death in the Shinobi World!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Senju Hashirama: "Oh right, the Fourth Hokage looks awfully young. Did you also die from being overwhelmingly lonely?"
Namikaze Minato: "Truth be told, Lord First Hokage, I died by using the Reaper Death Seal to seal Kurama."
Senju Hashirama: "???"
Senju Hashirama: "Can that trick kill people?"
Senju Tobirama: "Brother, not everyone is like you with a natural Sage Body. Life is tough for us regular ninjas down here!"
Senju Hashirama: "Is that so? Then Sarutobi, how did you die? Don't tell me it was also because of sealing Kurama?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I died after using the Reaper Death Seal as well."
Namikaze Minato: "I suppose the Third Hokage must have sealed something quite extraordinary."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I... sealed both of Orochimaru's arms."
Fourth Raikage: "..."
Onoki: "..."
Terumi Mei: "..."
