Chapter 258: Those who are favored are bold!

"Sigh, let's see how the situation develops first!"

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said helplessly!

【In the video, after Naruto parted ways with the others, he walked alone on the street!

When he passed by a cake shop, he looked with envy at the little girl walking toward him!

After standing in front of the cake shop for a long time, Uzumaki Naruto continued to walk forward!

Unknowingly, he arrived at a park!

At this time, there were still many children playing in the park!

Looking at those children accompanied by their parents, his eyes revealed a look of envy without him realizing it!

Subsequently, he looked at the fourth face on the Hokage Rock, and the scene of meeting them surfaced in his mind!

At this moment, those parents brought their children and walked past Naruto. Naruto, who was still reminiscing, finally came back to his senses!

After pausing for a moment, he continued to walk forward with a sense of loneliness!

After much effort, he finally returned to his home!

He stood outside the door, hesitated for a long time, and finally opened the door and walked in!】

【"I'm home!"】

Naruto said loudly!

【Unfortunately, no one responded to him!

He casually turned on the room's light.

Looking at the messy room, Naruto went from happy to disappointed, and finally could only sigh softly!】

【Perhaps no one will remember that today is his birthday...】

"Third Hokage, may I ask if the room Naruto lived in before is still there!"

In the Hokage Building, Minato suddenly said to the Third Hokage with extreme seriousness!

"That is an old-style house, built quite a while ago. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with some confusion!

"Nothing, I just want to go take a look when I have time!"

"Hmm, alright, I will send someone to arrange it just as it was when Naruto lived there!"

"Thank you!"

Minato said in a low voice!

【"What do you want to say to me?"】

【"Iruka-sensei, I was saying... that thing... could you help me write a Jonin recommendation letter!"】

【"Huh?"】

【"My peers, it seems their parents helped them write theirs! So, I thought..."】

Naruto scratched his head with some embarrassment!

"I'm a bit curious, why is Naruto so persistent about this recommendation?"

In the Hokage Office, Karura asked with confusion!

"Perhaps he doesn't want to be left behind by others!"

Kakashi replied!

"What does not wanting to be left behind mean?"

"Naruto is currently a Genin. If everyone else is promoted to Jonin, then Naruto will appear even more out of place among this group!"

【"No, I refuse!"】

Unfortunately, Naruto's request was ruthlessly rejected by Iruka!

【"Eh! Why?"】

【"That kind of thing has to wait until you become a Chunin first! Even if you saved the village from Pain and are called the Hero of Konoha by everyone, you cannot receive special treatment..."】

"Truly naive. It's fortunate that the one you encountered was Uzumaki Naruto and not Menma!"

In the video, before Iruka finished speaking, Obito snorted coldly and said with a face full of disdain!

"Obito, who is this Menma you speak of?"

Rin asked with some confusion!

"Someone who is the complete opposite of Naruto!"

Obito thought for a moment and replied!

"If it were him, what would happen?"

Rin asked with some trepidation!

"If it were him, I guarantee that in the next ten years, Konoha wouldn't dare hold another Chunin Exam!"

Uchiha Obito said seriously!

"Why?"

Fuka Koyuki asked with confusion!

"Because that guy would absolutely attack indiscriminately! Examinees, referees, spectators, even the villagers of Konoha, all would be within his range of attack!"

Uchiha Obito recalled!

"..."

"Is this, isn't this too exaggerated!"

Nara Yoshino smiled and said with some indifference!

"You can imagine it—when Sage Naruto uses Sage Art: Rasenshuriken for indiscriminate attacks, and when the Nine-Tails recklessly fires continuous Tailed Beast Bombs at Konoha, you'll know whether it's an exaggeration or not!"

Uchiha Obito snorted coldly and continued:

"At that point, don't talk about exams; whether the people of Konoha can even survive will be a question!"

"Why would he attack the other people of Konoha? This is just an exam!"

"You are too naive, Rin! In this world, the strong can test the weak without restraint! Just like how Hanzo tested the Sannin back then! But for the weak to want to test the strong, they need to pay a very heavy price!"

"What does a very heavy price refer to?"

"If Hanzo hadn't encountered the Sannin back then, but instead encountered Uchiha Madara, then he wouldn't have been able to leave that test alive!

If Hanzo still dared to bestow a title upon him, then the entire Amegakure would be overturned by Uchiha Madara!

This is the price for the weak testing the strong!"

"..."

Hearing Obito's words, everyone lowered their heads in thought!

It wasn't that they didn't know this price before, but everyone wasn't afraid! ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
