NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: Fate's Revelation on the Sky
A perceptive ninja who was on a mission outside, observing the strange scenes flashing on the sky, subconsciously released chakra in the direction of the sky to sense any hidden energy, muttering to himself: "What are these pictures?"
To his surprise, his thoughts appeared above the sky in the form of a barrage.
A series of text comments then appeared in the sky.
["There are words on the sky screen!"]["So you can send messages on this sky screen!"]["What the hell is this thing!!"]["Do you still need to think about it? This must be a conspiracy of Konoha!! Didn't you see those people wearing Konoha forehead protectors?"]["Bullshit! This has nothing to do with Konoha! This is definitely a frame-up!!"]["It's definitely fake! Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki just graduated this year, their ages don't match at all!"]["Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, and Rock Lee graduated last year, their ages don't match when they appeared on the sky screen!"]["Shut up! Don't leak the village's information casually!"]["Oh! I seem to have seen something incredible!"]["The people who appear on the sky dome do exist in Konoha, and they're all Genin who graduated less than two years ago!"]["Does anyone know the average age of Konoha's Genin graduates this year?"]["Twelve years old."]["Look at the people on the sky dome, they should be fifteen or sixteen years old. Could this be a vision of the future?"]["How is that possible? This must be Konoha's conspiracy!"]["It's so funny! If it were Konoha's conspiracy, why put it on the sky screen for everyone in the ninja world to know?"]["In my opinion, it must be aliens. Only aliens could master this kind of technology that we can't interfere with!"]
The Third Hokage rubbed his forehead, clearly troubled by the situation, and ordered his subordinates to quickly bring Kakashi and Guy along with their respective teams.
At that moment, the door to the office opened without warning.It was no surprise to the Third Hokage to see his old comrade, Danzo Shimura.Danzo came in without any greetings and went straight to the point: "Hiruzen, you saw that thing in the sky too, right? Whether it's broadcasting images from the future or not, Konoha will definitely become the center of attention in the entire ninja world. For the safety of the village, I must take control of the Nine-Tails."
The Third Hokage knew exactly what Danzo was trying to suggest. It wasn't the first time Danzo had brought up the idea of taking control of the Nine-Tails, but each time, Hiruzen had rejected it.He knew very well where Danzo's 'Root' organization stood, and he could never allow Naruto to be handed over to him.When Danzo finished speaking, the Third Hokage replied calmly, "I will not give Naruto to you, Danzo. The Root is not fit to train him. As for the safety issue, I will have Kakashi keep a closer eye on Naruto."
Danzo was unfazed by the Hokage's response, maintaining his grim expression. "Aren't you afraid of accidents?"
The Third Hokage waved his hand dismissively. "It's too early to jump to conclusions. Let's at least watch all the footage on the sky screen before we discuss this further."
"I hope you don't regret this, Hiruzen."Danzo left after saying this, clearly just trying to make his presence known.The Hokage, ignoring Danzo's departure, focused his attention back on the sky screen, as a familiar figure appeared.
[The blonde woman in green clothes with the word "Gambler" printed on her back stared out of the window, expressionless: 'All of this, is it fate...?' ][The screen then shifted. ]["Wow! Beautiful lady! Does anyone know this person?"]["This is Tsunade from the Three Legendary Ninjas, the granddaughter of the First Hokage."]["It's so funny! She's a beauty, do you know how old she is?"]["Look, she's from Konoha again, and she's saying it's not Konoha's conspiracy!"]["Tsunade!"]
The comments flooding the sky screen had no effect on Tsunade herself.She looked at the scene in confusion, lowering the bottle she had been drinking from. "What happened? I don't remember this ever happening."
Shizune, holding her tiny pet Tonton, guessed, "Could it be that what they're saying is true? Is this a vision of the future?"Tsunade shook her head, still clueless, "Let's wait and see."
In the Pure Land, Hashirama Senju, who was still on his way, saw Tsunade's image appear and couldn't help but send a comment. After seeing no response, he walked forward and muttered, "Tsunade has grown so much…"
At the same time, people closely related to Tsunade, like Uzumaki Mito, Nawaki, and Kato Dan, were also shocked to see her appear. They stopped their actions and began focusing on the sky.
[In a deep canyon, five figures stood silently on a cliff.][The leader was a middle-aged man in black clothes with long black hair. The others, four in white robes, stood with him, all gazing at a temple-like structure beneath the cliff.][The man in black spoke in a hoarse voice: "It's finally time. The dark medical ninjutsu developed for tonight must use this power to awaken the ghosts and unify the world."]
["Wow! Unify the world!"]["?! Ghosts! It can't be that thing!"]["What is going on? Does anyone know what this ghost is?"]["...This is likely a secret only known among the major villages. Ask the higher-ups in your village if they know about it!"]
In the Land of Ghosts, after hearing the word "Wraiths," the current shrine maiden Shion froze.Her attendant, Zuho, quickly understood the situation and tried to comfort her. "Lady Shion, don't worry. This is just a video being played."
Shion, still uncertain, responded, "But, those people said this is a vision of the future, and the person who appeared seems to be me when I grow up. Does that mean the Wraiths will appear soon?"Zuho replied in his usual calm tone, "Let's not jump to conclusions, but even if it's true, we can gather information about the Wraiths from this. With your power, Lady Shion, we'll surely be able to seal them again."
Shion felt slightly reassured by his words, but the man in black, Huang Quan, who had just been exposed on the sky screen, suddenly felt uneasy.
Upon seeing himself displayed, he was momentarily stunned, then cold sweat broke out on his face.The only reason he had survived after the last time the monster was sealed was that no one knew his involvement. But now, exposed on the sky screen, things wouldn't be as simple as before.
Realizing this, Huang Quan hastily packed his belongings and prepared to escape from the village he had been hiding in.
