Be the Main God from Naruto - Chapter 51
After ascending to the position of Fifth Hokage through a coup, Tsunade found herself entangled in various affairs, particularly the mess left by the previous Leaf high command, which she needed to address.
In a state of overwhelming stress, Tsunade was inspired by Jiraiya when faced with a difficult mission and made a decisive move.
As a Reincarnator, luxury items like gold, silver, and platinum, which are usually given monetary value, are the least “valuable.”
What’s rare is precious. The total amount of gold is relatively small on Earth, hence its high value.
But in the ninja world…
Gold isn’t very valuable.
Otherwise, with Rasa’s Magnet Release powers, Sunagakure wouldn’t be in such a pitiful state. (In the original story, Rasa could manipulate as much gold as he wanted, but Kishimoto depicted Sunagakure as impoverished, hence this explanation.)
Jewelry, ornaments, and paintings are the real valuables in the ninja world.
However, these non-special attribute luxury items are outrageously cheap on the Main God’s exchange list, where one reward point can buy a pile of enviable jewels.
With wealth leading the way, Tsunade proceeded smoothly.
After receiving precious luxury items, the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations was easily persuaded by her, and having received benefits, they naturally worked hard on her behalf.
Under the vigorous promotion of the Daimyo, it wasn’t long before all ninja forces received news that the Leaf was organizing the “Ultimate Chunin Exam.”
Even major ninja forces like Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure had to give a face to their financiers.
The Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage, who originally paid little attention to the Leaf’s Chunin Exams, were also spurred into action.
At this point, the situation had escalated to involve the entire ninja world; for the Five Great Nations, it was not just a matter of face and honor but also a grand stage to demonstrate their strength to the world!
…
In the Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
The Third Tsuchikage, known as “Onoki of Both Scales,” was looking at his granddaughter Kurotsuchi and his student Akatsuchi.
“I heard that this time, participants in the Chunin Exam must be in teams of five?”
Kurotsuchi frowned, “The information has been confirmed!”
Akatsuchi, looking somber, said uneasily, “This doesn’t align with ninja tradition.”
The Tsuchikage stroked his white beard, apparently pondering something.
After a moment.
His gaze hardened, and he spoke seriously, “Tradition is what those in the past set down. Are the people of today inferior to those of the past? If that’s the case, what’s the point of our existence!”
“This time, no matter what others think, Iwagakure must participate! We must give our all and take first place! Let those restless fools witness the strength of Iwagakure!”
Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi exchanged glances and immediately responded, “Yes!”
As they spoke, the Tsuchikage’s nose became redder with excitement.
As the longest-living man among the Kage of all nations, the Tsuchikage had complete control over Iwagakure and even more influence in the Land of Earth than the Daimyo.
His word settled the matter.
“Kirigakure has been barely surviving for so long, and it’s time to send it to its demise…”
The Tsuchikage saw this Chunin Exam as an opportunity.
Not only to showcase himself but also to test old rivals!
If the opponent showed weakness, he would tell them what earned him the title “Onoki of Both Scales”!
…
In the Land of Water, Kirigakure.
In the office of the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi had gathered all her guards.
“The Ultimate Chunin Exam… we must participate!”
Standing in the front, Chojuro adjusted his glasses. His lips moved as if he wanted to speak but then held back.
“Chojuro, do you have something to say? Speak freely,” encouraged Mei Terumi.
Hearing this, Chojuro seemed to gather some courage.
He touched the twin swords “Hiramekarei” on his back before calming down.
“Mizukage, I think our strength is too weak, having just emerged from the Blood Mist era. We should keep a low profile and develop quietly instead of competing with other countries for such empty titles.”
Mei Terumi gave him an approving look but vetoed his suggestion, “You make a good point. Unfortunately, in these chaotic times, not provoking others doesn’t mean they will leave you alone; on
On the contrary, many see your non-aggressiveness as a sign of weakness, a soft target, an easy meal everyone wants a bite of!”
At this point, Mei Terumi smiled seductively, but a bone-chilling coldness was hidden in her smile: “The Tsuchikage, that old man, will use this event to flaunt his military power and boost morale. I’m sure that if we act like turtles hiding their heads, the day the Leaf’s Chunin Exam concludes will be the day Kirigakure is eradicated.”
These words caused panic among the few trusted ninjas present.
What should they do?
Fight and die, or not fight and still die!
Is this the sorrow of the weak? There’s no perfect choice!
In reality, Kirigakure is not weak compared to many smaller ninja villages.
Unfortunately, its opponents are too strong.
“Don’t panic!”
Mei Terumi’s normally gentle demeanor suddenly vanished, revealing a strong woman aura similar to Tsunade’s.
Her words instantly calmed the trusted ninja.
“This time, we are not entirely without chances! Suppose we can achieve good results in the Leaf’s Chunin Exam. In that case, we can use those rewards to forge alliances with the Kazekage or Raikage, preventing Iwagakure from recklessly making a move!”
For this so-called “Ultimate Chunin Exam,” the Leaf went all out.
Teams from first to twentieth place would receive enormous monetary rewards, ensuring several generations could live without worries.
This was merely an incidental reward.
The first place would receive an S-rank and five different A-rank ninjutsu scrolls. In addition, a set of training methods is said to be completely different from ninjutsu, which does not require chakra.
Other teams would also receive various grades of ninjutsu scrolls as rewards.
Originally, an exam that was just a standoff between Sunagakure and Konoha, under Wang Yan’s direction, turned into a battle among the five ninja nations!
Even forces originally intended to stay hidden emerged, restless and ready to move.
…
In a dark cave.
There was no sunlight here, only the quiet burn of cold candles, the air not damp but rather dry.
Two figures dressed in black cloaks with red clouds conversed within a strange formation.
“Should we be doing this? Konoha is now the center of attention worldwide.”
A young girl toyed with a paper crane, her voice soft.
“Indeed, there are risks.”
The man’s eyes, swirling with black and white spirals, seemed to hide a world within.
His tone was indifferent: “Besides the high bounty, I’m more interested in something else…”
