"Winner, Might Guy!"

Minato waited for a moment. Seeing that Kakashi could no longer stand, he finally announced the result.

Hearing this, Guy immediately released the Eight Gates.

At his age, opening the Fifth Gate was already very difficult, let alone maintaining it for too long.

Two medical ninja walked over to Kakashi and began treating him.

Kakashi had been beaten into a bit of a daze.

After all, the situation had suddenly reversed, and he had lost in an instant.

But he quickly came back to himself.

Kakashi said, "Next time, let's fight again."

Although losing felt terrible, he could accept defeat.

Most importantly, Guy under the Eight Gates was indeed stronger than him.

"Then it's decided!"

Guy gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Next time, let's have another youthful duel!"

At that moment, he heard a familiar shout.

He turned around and saw Might Duy.

Duy's face was covered in tears as he shouted, "I am proud of your youth!"

"I did it, Father!"

Guy rushed forward and shouted excitedly, "This is youth!"

The two of them hugged each other and cried loudly as if no one else was around.

After Kakashi finished his treatment, he glanced at them and quickly left the field.

Seeing this, Minato could not help smiling.

But the Chunin Exam had not ended yet.

Because it had not yet been announced which genin would be promoted to chunin in this exam.

Thinking of this, Minato really wanted to complain.

Because this matter should have been announced by the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru had not come and had handed the matter to Natsuki.

The problem was that Natsuki had not come either.

What should he do now?

Delay it by one day?

At that moment, an ANBU shinobi appeared.

"Minato-sama."

He walked up to Minato and said, "This is what Natsuki-sama asked me to give you."

Minato paused slightly and took the scroll, then opened it and read it.

The contents of the scroll were very simple.

The first sentence said that Natsuki had watched the entire match and had already left.

The rest of the contents were the list of genin who would become chunin in this Chunin Exam, and he was to announce it.

"When did he watch it?"

Minato felt somewhat puzzled, but he did not ask further.

He walked forward and announced the list.

Among the names were all members of his squad, Natsuki's squad, and Nawaki's squad.

When Asuma and the others heard this, they all revealed smiles.

Although they had not taken first place, becoming chunin had already achieved their goal.

At the same time, in the Uchiha clan compound.

"So this is your room?"

Natsuki looked around and asked.

Several seconds passed before he heard Mikoto's trembling reply.

He turned his head and looked at Mikoto, who was leaning against the door.

Her entire body seemed to be radiating heat, and even her skin was flushed pink.

Natsuki chuckled.

He walked toward Mikoto's bed.

A faint fragrance lingered in the air.

He slipped under the blanket.

"Come here."

Natsuki looked at her and said, "It just happens to be time for an afternoon nap."

Mikoto's heart trembled.

She lowered her head and walked forward.

By the time she came closer, there was no longer anything between them.

She took a deep breath and lay down in Natsuki's arms.

"How did today's Chunin Exam feel?"

Natsuki reached out and gently stroked her smooth cheek.

"It was. It was very exciting."

Mikoto pressed her lips together and said, "Kakashi and Guy already feel like they have jonin-level strength."

"They are still barely there."

Natsuki's hand moved down and rested over her chest as he said, "After all, they are still young."

Mikoto's breathing stopped for a moment.

"Do you not have anything you want to say?"

Natsuki asked with a smile.

"Say. Say what?"

Mikoto looked at him in a dazed and confused manner.

"Does your room leak when it rains?"

Natsuki placed both hands on her waist.

"Ah?"

Mikoto's body instantly tensed, and she subconsciously opened her mouth.

What kind of strange question was that?

Her head was dizzy, and she did not know how to answer.

Natsuki raised an eyebrow.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her face and lips.

"I was just curious."

Seeing that she had come back to herself, Natsuki smiled and said, "Because I think your talent for Water Release is quite good."

"I only know Fire Release."

Although Mikoto felt that Natsuki's question was very sudden, she still answered honestly.

"Is that so?"

Natsuki patted her hips and said, "Then you simply have not realized that you have talent for Water Release."

Mikoto froze.

Where exactly did she have talent for Water Release?

But soon, she could no longer focus on thinking about that question.

It was not until before she fell into her afternoon nap that she finally realized what he meant.

In the end, she fell asleep with her face full of shyness.

Or perhaps she had fainted.

One hour later, Natsuki opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath and felt completely refreshed.

In truth, with his strength, he would be fine even without sleeping.

But that would mean losing one of the pleasures of being human.

Natsuki looked at Mikoto, who was sleeping soundly.

Her strength was far below that of Nonō and Kushina.

Although Nonō's strength had been ordinary before, after learning the Strength of a Hundred Seal, her strength had increased greatly.

Kushina was from the Uzumaki clan, so her physical constitution was naturally good.

Especially with the enormous chakra inside her body, which gave her very strong recovery ability.

Mikoto could not compare in that regard.

However, she also had one very special trait. Her talent for Water Release was quite good.

Natsuki returned to himself and stretched out his hand.

Chakra flowed into Mikoto, whose face was full of exhaustion, and she relaxed.

Natsuki kissed her forehead, then got out of bed.

He changed into his clothes and went to the kitchen.

Not long after he left, Mikoto woke up.

She was not sleepy. She was tired.

After Natsuki removed her fatigue, her drowsiness quickly disappeared.

Mikoto subconsciously reached out, but she touched empty space.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly opened her eyes.

"Did he leave?"

Mikoto felt a little disappointed, but she soon regained her calm.

Natsuki held three positions at the same time and had many things to do. It was normal for him to be busy.

Mikoto got out of bed and put away the sheets.

She changed her clothes and left the room, then smelled a fragrant aroma.

Mikoto froze for a moment, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

She trotted to the kitchen and saw that familiar figure.

"You're awake?"

Natsuki turned to look at her and asked.

Mikoto reached out and brushed the hair by her ear.

Only then did she notice that her hair was stuck together with sweat.

"Go take a bath first."

Natsuki noticed her movement and said, "After you finish bathing, you can eat lunch."

Mikoto quickly nodded.

She really did need to take a bath.

She felt uncomfortable inside and out.

Half an hour later, the two sat facing each other at the dining table.

"You can rest for half a day today and go to work tomorrow."

Natsuki said casually.

"I'm fine."

Mikoto shook her head and said.

"Be good."

Natsuki raised his hand, pinched her cheek, and said this.

Mikoto's heart trembled, and she obediently responded.

She secretly glanced at Natsuki. When she thought of what had happened earlier, a faint pink color suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

"What is it?"

Natsuki withdrew his hand, picked up his chopsticks, and asked.

"Um. Why are the dishes you make so delicious?"

Mikoto quickly found a question to ask.

But this was indeed a question she truly wanted answered.

As a traditional kunoichi who wanted to become a good wife and mother, her cooking skills were very good.

But Natsuki's cooking was so good that she could not understand it.

This made her feel somewhat defeated.

"That question is hard to answer."

Natsuki coughed lightly and said, "Practice makes perfect."

Mikoto did not suspect anything.

She bit her lip.

It seemed she had to spend more time improving her cooking.

"This taijutsu scroll is for you."

Natsuki suddenly thought of something and took out a taijutsu scroll. "Inside are the Konoha Six Styles I created."

"Thank you."

Mikoto hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

If she improved her strength, it would be easier for her to help Natsuki.

As for the Konoha Six Styles, they already had quite a reputation among Konoha shinobi.

After this Chunin Exam ended, their reputation would probably grow even further.

After all, anyone with eyes could see that Kakashi and the others' excellent performances were closely related to the Konoha Six Styles.

Especially medical ninja like Shizune and Rin.

"If you have any questions, come to me."

Natsuki said with a smile.

He had not taught Mikoto before because their relationship had not reached that point yet.

Now that they knew each other so deeply, he would naturally help her improve her strength.

Natsuki's gaze fell on her eyes.

The fastest way for the Uchiha clan to improve their strength was naturally to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan was clearly not that easy.

Aside from intense emotional stimulation, it also required extremely strong talent.

Otherwise, the previous Mikoto should have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan already.

After all, she had received no small amount of stimulation, not only emotionally.

The only explanation was that Mikoto did not have the talent to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But that might not be certain.

Natsuki thought of the Hōgyoku from the Aizen Template again.

It could allow the user to evolve, perfectly draw out their talent, and reach the optimal result.

In theory, it could also allow Mikoto to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But that was a matter for later.

For now, she could first learn the Konoha Six Styles.

After that, she could learn Weather Arts and combine it with the Sorcery Clima-Tact. That would also make her an elite jonin.

After eating, Natsuki went to the Hokage Building.

"Natsuki-sama."

When an ANBU shinobi saw him, he came forward.

He was the ANBU shinobi Natsuki had sent to notify Minato.

At that time, Mikoto was already burning up.

Natsuki had to treat her, so he had no time to appear. He immediately threw down a list, accurately sending it to the ANBU shinobi below.

During the Chunin Exam, an ANBU squad was secretly responsible for security.

Natsuki's object thrown from above happened to land right in front of them.

After that, he took Mikoto to her home.

"The shinobi who passed the Chunin Exam completed the corresponding procedures half an hour ago."

The ANBU shinobi bowed slightly and said.

Natsuki nodded, then walked into his office.

After sitting down, he began today's work.

Because the Chunin Exam had delayed him in the morning, he had not come to work.

After Natsuki picked up the first document, he raised an eyebrow.

Because the war between Kumo and Kiri had escalated further.

Both sides had sent another thousand shinobi.

At this moment, the islands between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water had completely become a battlefield.

Natsuki felt that it would not be long before the Third Mizukage and the Third Raikage personally entered the battlefield.

Especially the Third Raikage.

Every generation of Raikage led from the front during war.

In the original timeline, the Third Raikage even fought ten thousand Iwa shinobi alone and ultimately died from exhaustion.

The other Kage were not as reckless as the Raikage. Under normal circumstances, they would only enter the battlefield at the most critical moment.

For example, Hiruzen.

During the Third Shinobi World War, he never entered the battlefield.

To be honest, if he had entered the battlefield, Minato's pressure would not have been so great.

Of course, without pressure, there would have been no credit for constantly saving the situation, and it would have been much harder for Minato to become the Fourth Hokage.

Natsuki picked up the second document.

He could not help narrowing his eyes.

This document was related to Iwa.

Iwa had been preparing war supplies before, but recently, it had stopped.

If it were only that, there would be nothing worth paying attention to.

But Iwa had strengthened patrols along the southern border of the Land of Earth.

And south of the Land of Earth was the Land of Birds.

The Land of Birds bordered the Land of Wind.

Iwa most likely had designs on Suna.

Natsuki could understand this.

Not long ago, Suna had changed its Kazekage, and Pakura had become the Fourth Kazekage.

But the unexplained disappearance of the Third Kazekage was a humiliation to Suna.

In addition, in order to mislead the other shinobi villages, Suna publicly claimed that the Third Kazekage had retired early.

But this was only a temporary measure.

The other shinobi villages were not stupid. They would definitely send people to investigate the matter.

Natsuki guessed that once Iwa confirmed the Third Kazekage's whereabouts, it would send troops against Suna.

In the original timeline, Iwa's ambitions in the Third Shinobi World War were no smaller than Kumo's.

It fought Suna, Konoha, and Kumo one after another.

Only Kiri was truly too far from it, so the two did not fight.

There were two plot points involving Iwa.

One was the battle of ten thousand shinobi against the Third Raikage mentioned earlier.

The other was the surprise attack on Konoha that caused the Kannabi Bridge battle.

There was no need to say much about the Kannabi Bridge battle. It could be called a turning point in the story.

Obito was heavily injured and faked his death, then was saved by Madara and eventually fell into darkness.

Kakashi obtained one of his Sharingan and became the famous Copy Ninja.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

In the original timeline, Iwa, Konoha, and Suna fought a chaotic battle in the Land of Rain.

But now, he absolutely could not allow that to happen.

Perhaps he could strike first and have Suna take the initiative to attack, fixing the battlefield in the Land of Birds or the neighboring Land of Bears.

That way, the Land of Rain would not be affected.

Of course, Iwa would definitely be wary of the Land of Rain, or rather, Konoha behind it.

But as long as Konoha did not attack Iwa, war in the Land of Rain could be avoided.

However, with Suna's strength, it was impossible for it to defeat Iwa.

And Konoha's location determined that it was impossible for Konoha to pass through the Third Shinobi World War peacefully.

Even if it did not attack the other shinobi villages, the other shinobi villages would attack it.

Fortunately, because of Pakura's existence, Suna would no longer attack Konoha.

Thinking this, Natsuki opened a spatial gate and arrived at the Kazekage's office in Suna.

Pakura, who was working, raised her head and looked at him.

"Have you received the intelligence on Iwa?"

Natsuki asked first.

"I have already received it. It is not unexpected."

Pakura said calmly.

"Suna needs to make preparations early."

Natsuki paused and said, "Take the initiative and start the war with Iwa in the Land of Birds."

"To avoid the Land of Rain?"

Pakura understood as soon as she heard it and nodded. "I can send people to the Land of Birds first."

Once Suna moved, Iwa would definitely move with it.

The battlefield would naturally become the Land of Birds.

"How is your situation?"

Natsuki looked at her and asked.

"It is still fine."

Pakura answered honestly, "But Rasa and Retsu are not being obedient. I will deal with them first, then start the war with Iwa."

"If you need my help, tell me."

Natsuki nodded.

"I know."

Pakura smiled and said, "I will not be polite."

"Then I will leave first. See you next time."

Natsuki turned and entered the spatial gate.

He had just eaten lunch, so he was not in a hurry.

It was still work time for now, so he would not disturb Pakura.

Time arrived in June.

With Iwa and Suna making moves, the shinobi world became increasingly restless.

Among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, only Konoha had not yet been drawn into the war.

Somewhere underground.

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes.

White Zetsu appeared in front of him.

It immediately told him all the major events that had recently happened in the shinobi world.

"It seems the full outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War is not far away."

Madara nodded, then asked, "How is the investigation of the Uchiha clan going?"

"These are the investigation results."

White Zetsu immediately handed over a scroll.

Madara opened the scroll and read it.

The so-called investigation was to find an Uchiha shinobi suitable to serve as his agent.

The contents of the scroll were the information on the younger shinobi of the Uchiha clan.

The reason he chose younger shinobi was because they were easier to control.

Madara swept his gaze over the scroll.

There were quite a few people.

There were shinobi without much fame.

There were also very famous shinobi.

For example, clan head Fugaku, Hokage secretary Mikoto, and the new-generation genius Obito.

Madara quickly ruled out Fugaku.

His age was still a little too high.

Moreover, he was the clan head, making him too obvious a target.

His actions would easily attract Konoha's attention.

Mikoto was even more so.

She was a Hokage secretary and close to Konoha's higher-ups.

In the end, after scanning the list, Madara looked at Obito.

When he saw Obito's bright and enthusiastic personality, his heart moved.

He simply did not seem like a shinobi of the Uchiha clan.

What kind of Uchiha went around helping old ladies cross the street?

But this kind of personality often meant large emotional fluctuations.

If Obito had enough talent, it would be very easy for him to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Since he was to be Madara's agent, his strength naturally could not be weak.

After all, if he were too weak, he would have no way to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.

"Go monitor Obito."

Madara said.

"Yes, Madara-sama."

White Zetsu sank into the ground and disappeared.

Madara fell into thought.

The current situation was not yet suitable for contacting Obito.

He would wait until Konoha was drawn into the war before making contact.

Madara then thought of Nagato.

There also needed to be some changes on Nagato's side.
