The Strongest Hokage

“Yes”

After all, Sarutobi was the Hokage of Konoha, he needed to be calm, but he couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes.

This kind of thing has never happened in history!

“What do you think?”

“Well, I am very curious about the strength of that child, I have to see it for myself.”

Sakumo nodded gently with a strange glow in his eyes.

Sarutobi nodded back.

“Well, that child is really qualified now, and even I want to see his strength.”

.....

In the woods of Konoha.

Underground.

After he eliminated everyone, Naito went back to the base with the others.

He took a short break there.

Along the way back to the base, the candidates even the official members of the Anbu looked at Naito differently.

They only saw him before as a genius boy who still didn’t grow up.

But the growth of Naito was beyond the imagination of everyone.

Genius cannot describe Naito now.

He’s a monster!

At that time, no one doubted that Naito will become an official member of the Anbu.

It almost became a fact.

There was a lot of injuries and they needed to be treated.

Naito proved that he’s the most talented candidate in the history of the Anbu.

Moreover, with this incredible talent, as long as he grow’s up more, he will even be at the level of the Captains.

And if he becomes the captain of a division, it will not be impossible to even become the next Leader of the Anbu.

At that time, Naito was standing quietly in a corner.

No one came to disturb him.

After the warfare he had, although he didn’t get injured, Naito really got physically exhausted.

At this battle, the Reverse Hachimon Tonkou really proved itself useful.

especially the First Gate: The Gate of Heart.

He even got stronger due to its body feeding, he got really improved physically.

Sure enough, fighting is also a way of increasing the power, and without getting into bloody battles you won’t become a true powerhouse.

No fighting experience, no life or death, no improvement.

The change was actually a spiritual one, but it’s directly linked to the strength.

because the spirit will influence the Chakra, and the last will have an effect on the body.

“I didn’t expect that this battle will improve me this much, it’s almost compared to the time I practiced for a month.”

Focusing for a while restored Naito’s strength.

Just as Naito stood up, suddenly someone walked into the hall.

It was the leader.

He didn’t wear a mask.

And the three captain divisions were following him.

The identity of the leader was known to everyone.

The leader of the Anbu, Hatake Sakumo!

“Leader!”

“Leader!”

In a moment, all the Anbu, whether they were alternate or official members saluted Sakumo.

Sakumo gently nodded, he raised his hand as a sign for everyone that they didn’t have to gather, then he walked from the crowd directly in front of Naito.

This is the first time Naito and Sakumo meet.

Although Sakumo has observed Naito in the dark more then once, this is the first time Naito see him.

Although he was very young at this time, Naito directly recognized him.

“Leader.”

Naito showed a touch of respectful expression as he gently saluted him.

Regardlessly of how a lot of people see it, Naito still have the love and respect for Konoha.

In the original book, Naito felt real pity for the White Fang.

Just because he saved his companion and gave up the mission, the hero become the most hated person in the whole village.

Then he finally suicided.

Although the first rule of being a ninja is doing your task even if it cost you your life.

But in Naito’s opinion, these rules don’t always apply for a noble purpose.

Even if Sakumo focused on his mission and didn’t save his companions, there is no proof that the mission will succeed and maybe he will lose from both sides.

But there’s no doubt that someone played him.

Hatake Sakumo was really a very strong shinobi who was qualified to be the fourth Hokage.

And without forgetting about how he’s the right hand of Sarutobi, which is naturally a pain in a lot of people asses.

Of course, these are only speculations, none of this happened yet, Naito can’t be so sure about it.

“You don’t need to be so polite.”

Sakumo looked at Naito and smiled, his expression was very warm, not a sligh of coldness.

When you see him it’s almost impossible to believe that he’s Konoha’s White Fang.

“It was a bit surprising this time, even I couldn’t believe it.”

“I was holding back the entire time.”

Naito shrugged.

The captain next to him couldn’t help but get a little bit furious.

You were holding back?!

You were holding back and still wiped out all the candidates?!

Then what will you do if you go all out, reaching the sky?!

Sakumo couldn’t help but reveal a strange expression the moment he heard Naito.

He twitched his mouth slightly.

“However, you’ve done a great job, the alternate member state is the last threshold for becoming an official member.”

“There is no need to hide anything from you, what I need to see is your talent and your ability to choose your position next in the future.”

He continued speaking after he patted Naito’s shoulders: “You had a great performance in this training, but I would like to see more.”

These words made Naito feel a little bit strange.

See more?

What do you mean?

No, no!

Does he want to test my strength by himself?

Naito had a dazed expression, he couldn’t help but be sad.

Sakumo smiled, turned and said: “Follow me.”

Looking at the back of Sakumo, Naito didn’t help but to think.

How strong is the White Fang?!

Naito was uncertain, but at least he should be as strong as a Hokage!

How else can you become so famous in the Shinobi World War II?

The Hokage’s level is out of Naito’s league.

Naito got bored.

He had a great battle just right now.

He doesn’t want to get a beating!

But this is the willing of the leader, he can’t refuse it, the only choice he has is to follow.

Helplessly he shook his head.

However, in his heart, he though Sakumo shouldn’t have a habit of abusing a genius.

It’s certain that he will test him personally, and this is will end with Sakumo given him some advice.

The sparring and the pointing of the strongest Anbu.

Looks like this is the reward he got after he had that incredible performance.
