Be the Main God from Naruto - Chapter 77
Overnight, “Inner Power” became the most talked-about term in the ninja world.
The Akatsuki quintet took their time, enjoying their journey.
By the time they returned to the base, the results of the strongest Chunin Exam in history had already spread across the Five Great Nations and numerous smaller ones.
When Gaara arrived at the Akatsuki’s third secret base, he found Zabuza Momochi furiously removing his game helmet, cursing his unseen teammate.
“You can’t even play a game right and call yourself a Jonin! Bah!”
Zabuza formed a hand seal, remotely contacting the teammate who had messed up and unleashing a tirade of insults.
The teammate felt wronged.
Although Konoha was rushing to produce more game helmets, anyone who managed to get one was no weakling.
Soon, agonized wails came from the other side: “It’s not my fault! The five opponents were teamed up! And we had a mole on our side—how could we win!”
Zabuza smacked his lips and cautiously glanced at the “six people” beside him.
The Six Paths of Pain each wore a game helmet, rampaging through the world of “Glory League.”
Zabuza smirked.
Would he tell his teammate that the enemies just now were their boss?
Of course not!
He quietly checked Pain’s match history.
“Thirty-seven matches, thirty-seven wins, a 100% win rate! Hiss…”
Except for the “Best Sixth Man,” who always matched on the other side to sabotage, the other five had an impressive 100% win rate!
Zabuza couldn’t resist opening the detailed profile of the [Pain Team], only to be hit by a boastful personal motto that made him see stars.
“Against the heavens, there may be exceptions; against me, there is no chance of survival!”
Zabuza blinked, doubting for the first time whether he had chosen the right boss.
Could such a chuunibyou achieve the grand ideal of ninja world peace?
While Zabuza grumbled internally, Nagato reclined in his wheelchair, sporting a mad grin.
“Thirty-eight consecutive wins!”
The heavens blessed him—finding a satisfying pastime as a disabled person wasn’t easy!
What?
Bullying weaklings?
It was just usual sparring.
For Akatsuki’s leaders to spar with Genin and Chunin was an honor.
It should be called “guidance.” How could Akatsuki be accused of bullying weaklings?
“These guys are too weak; no challenge at all.”
Nagato complained, yet he controlled the Six Paths of Pain to queue up for another match.
This sight made Konan’s eye twitch.
With overwhelming strength, perfect teamwork, and six versus four, how could they lose?
Someone tell her, how could they lose!
…
Land of Water.
A goofy youth wearing an orange mask was hiding in a large tree, wearing a game helmet, and suddenly let out a cry.
“Why did I match against the Six Paths of Pain again? Are Konoha’s virtual world admins eating crap? I’m going to complain!”
A mysterious figure crouching in a flytrap sneered.
Half of his body was black, the other half white, his appearance eerie and unsettling.
“I say, Tobi, can’t you do something useful?”
The masked youth’s face turned serious, ignoring him completely.
In a grave tone, he spoke to the air in front of him: “Who got killed? Our team has a feeder, and we can’t win this! Next game, next game!”
Tobi was talking to his in-game teammates, ignoring Zetsu.
Zetsu felt like slapping him.
“Did you even practice the ‘Basic Inner Power Training’ I gave you? Time is running out…”
Zetsu stopped mid-sentence.
He noticed a red glow gathering in Tobi’s left hand.
The pure and righteous power seemed to echo with the Yang Release technique, yet it contained no chakra fluctuations!
Zetsu finally understood that Tobi, Uchiha Obito, wasn’t just playing games.
He used the “Glory League” virtual world to train in a new power system.
…
Compared to the playful Nagato and Obito, Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara were paragons of determination.
They stuck to their beliefs.
The strongest Chunin Exam in history, inner power, virtual reality games—none mattered to them.
Artists don’t care about the passage of time.
Deidara stood with one hand behind his back, staring intently at Sasori.
Sasori, though his eyes were closed, had chakra surging around him.
A “Sakura Haruno” figure, leaked from the Sand Village, stood on the table between them.
Sasori slowly opened his bloodshot eyes and formed a hand seal.
Rat, Shin, Nin, Kyu, Ox, Tora, U, Kou!
A life-sized puppet of “Sakura Haruno” appeared beside him.
Sasori scrutinized it momentarily, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
“Still not enough!”
With a wave, the puppet disintegrated into dust, leaving no trace.
Sasori’s gaze fell on the Sakura figure, his eyes filled with obsession: “So exquisite… Its material hardly ages with time, approaching eternity and immortality! It’s nearly perfect!”
Just as he finished, the young man beside him, oblivious to danger, disagreed.
“Eternity and immortality are not the essence of art! Hmm. Momentary brilliance… Explosion! That is true art!”
Deidara fervently clutched a “clay Sakura” figure: “My art will make her truly perfect!”
A breeze blew, and fine golden sand gathered, forming Gaara’s figure.
Gaara.
Gaara’s abilities significantly improved after eating the Main God’s enhanced Sand-Sand Fruit PLUS version.
After the Chunin Exam, he left a sand clone in Konoha, initially intending to use it as a liaison and communication bridge to exchange mission insights with senior Reincarnations (mainly the Sannin).
Upon receiving the new mission from the Main God, Gaara realized his earlier move could play a significant role.
How do I get Sasori and Deidara to go to Konoha?
Accessible and complex at the same time.
Anyone who didn’t understand these two could never bring them to Konoha, even if they were much more robust.
Artists are the kind to perish with their enemies at the slightest disagreement.
However, Gaara already knew their weaknesses.
As the saying goes, “For those who know, it’s not difficult; for those who don’t, it’s impossible.” To him, this mission wasn’t complex.
“Is there something you need? Hmm. If not, please leave, Gaara of the Darkness,” Deidara’s habitual tic made him always add a “hmm.”
Sasori silently watched Gaara, saying nothing, but his eyes conveyed his intent—say what you need to do quickly or get lost!
Gaara smiled straightforwardly: “This Chunin Exam reportedly had nearly 100,000 participants.”
“Before I left Konoha, they were planning an unprecedented art expo. The attendees might exceed those of the Chunin Exam.”
Nagato: “Six Paths of Pain Studio, champion level, professional boosting! One recommendation is to vote for a small rank boost. If interested parties, contact me!”
