Chapter 20 Kishimoto Masashi, that lousy manga artist, what does he know about Naruto?
The Fourth Shinobi World War?
Kakashi Hatake was the first to see those words, and his hair stood on end instantly.
The one-country-one-village system has only been established for a few decades, and it has already witnessed three Shinobi World Wars, each of which was earth-shattering and resulted in extremely heavy casualties.
He was even one of the participants in the last Shinobi World War, and it was in that battle that he earned the title of Sharingan Kakashi.
His teacher, Minato Namikaze, gained enough prestige in that battle to later become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
However, at the same time, apart from a small number of people who rose to prominence and achieved great glory, most people suffered extremely tragically in such a great war.
Even he himself lost two of his most important teammates, one who died right before his eyes and the other whom he killed himself.
His memory of the Fourth Shinobi World War is definitely not good.
However, it is also clear that a war between just two countries or two ninja villages cannot be considered a true ninja world war.
For example, although the battle between Konoha and Kumogakure in previous years was quite large, it did not involve the other major ninja villages, so it cannot be considered a ninja world war.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the future Fourth Shinobi World War will be a chaotic battle involving at least several major ninja villages.
The scale was quite large; Kitahara Kaede even described it as a battle of gods, with Gundams flying around indiscriminately.
Although Kakashi Hatake didn't know what Gundam was, he could roughly understand what Kitahara Kaede was trying to say by connecting the context.
However, Kakashi Hatake had no idea how Kitahara Kaede had obtained this information.
Could it be that they possess some kind of ability to foresee the future?
If that's the case, then Kitahara Kaede's current wary demeanor becomes understandable.
After all, if the Konoha leadership finds out that he has some kind of ability to foresee the future, the Third Hokage might not necessarily do anything, but Danzo Shimura would definitely arrest him, and it's not impossible that he would be dissected and studied.
Who wouldn't want the ability to foresee the future?
If a Fourth Shinobi World War is confirmed, then Konoha, located at the very center of the shinobi world, will inevitably be affected. After all, the Land of Fire occupies the most fertile land and can be considered a thorn in the side of almost every country.
If Konoha hadn't been strong enough, the Land of Fire would have been divided up long ago.
How many countries might participate in the future?
Based on the information currently available, it is unlikely that Kirigakure will participate. This country has been isolating itself for quite some time, and there is no indication that it will end its isolation.
As an ally of Konoha, Sunagakure might help Konoha in future wars, right?
Although it is doubtful, it is possible to speculate based on the current situation.
Then the opponents might be the two second-strongest, Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning, and the third-strongest, Kukage Village of the Land of Earth.
Two pairs of two odds?
If that's the case, although the situation is critical, it's not particularly fatal. Konoha has indeed weakened a lot compared to before, but it hasn't weakened to that extent. The only troublesome one is Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.
Judging from the last encounter with Kumogakure, they have developed much better than Konoha in recent years, and their combat strength is probably no less than that of Konoha in a real fight.
"Is another war about to break out?" Kakashi Hatake sighed, but he didn't think much of it.
Compared to Obito Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, or any other famous character, Kakashi Hatake is a relatively pure ninja.
It means that he didn't have any grand ambitions to bring peace to the ninja world. If his superiors told him to fight, he fought; if they told him not to fight, he didn't fight.
Although he was Konoha's top technician, during the Third Shinobi World War he only went to the battlefield as an ordinary Jonin and never served as a commander-in-chief of a field army. Therefore, his perspective was still that of an ordinary ninja.
He has not yet transformed into a high-level perspective, nor does he have any political ambitions.
But what exactly are the legendary Konoha Twelve?
What's so special about this year's ninja academy graduates?
If we assume that Kitahara Kaede has the ability to foresee the future, and not just the kind of foreseeing that only occasionally involves dreaming of fragments, but rather knowing many things about the future in their entirety.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the so-called Konoha Twelve that he named may be ninjas who will shine in the future Fourth Shinobi World War.
That's good news. It seems that the chances of this year's ninja academy students succeeding are quite high.
Generally speaking, it's considered quite good if three to five people in a class become experts who can stand on their own. Sometimes, there aren't even any in a class. But this class actually had twelve.
Not bad.
But what does it mean for gods to fight and Gundams to fly recklessly?
Kakashi Hatake was still very curious. The previous Shinobi World Wars were so devastating that they were earth-shattering. Didn't they deserve this praise?
-
In contrast, Sasuke Uchiha was also deep in thought. He didn't care about the Fourth Shinobi World War, as it was too far away for him. However, he was more concerned about what Kitahara Kaede had said about the Konoha Twelve.
He must be one of them, after all, he's number one in the grade.
But how could eleven of the remaining people be chosen to become powerful ninjas in the future?
Other thoughts crossed his mind: perhaps, with the help of his companions, he could also achieve revenge.
His previous obsession was to avenge Itachi Uchiha on his own and restore the glory of the Uchiha clan.
However, Itachi Uchiha's overwhelming strength undoubtedly slapped him hard in the face. Itachi Uchiha had become so powerful that even if he were willing to sell his body to a demon, he might not be able to defeat him.
At this point, he had to consider more practical ways to take revenge.
One person can't beat Itachi Uchiha, but what if there were twelve powerful Jonin?
Perhaps this is a feasible plan.
[Looking back, the story of Naruto is about to begin, and Naruto Uzumaki will step onto the stage of history. It's hard to imagine that such a loser would grow to that level in the future, but this damn world is really cruel.]
The Hokage's child is still the Hokage, and the scapegoat's son is still the scapegoat. It's hilarious!
If only that idiot Masashi Kishimoto hadn't gone on and expanded the world-building, things would have ended in Shippuden. That way I wouldn't have to live in constant fear. There are too many cunning old foxes in the ninja world now; any one of them could destroy the world!
What does Masashi Kishimoto, that lousy manga artist, know about Naruto?!
