Chapter 5 Fame and Reputation

"Hidden Leaf Village?"

Fourth Hokage?"

What are all these about? Why have I never heard of them in all these years? 

Nick Fury found himself deeply puzzled and intrigued by what he perceived as a powerful individual from the Hidden Leaf Village. He already knew about the Hulk's capabilities, and in his opinion, this was a person more powerful than Iron Man and more suitable for joining his Avengers Initiative.

But now, both the powerful Hulk and the equally formidable Envy, were defeated by the current sight before his eyes, this person known as Minato Namikaze.

The immense explosion and shockwave following the fireball's detonation caused the agents to retreat a few steps involuntarily.

In the aftermath, the body of Envy was engulfed in flames.

"Put out the fire! Hurry, put out the fire!!"

But it was already too late.

By the time the fire extinguisher sprayed its foam, the body had already been charred.

This couldn't be used for research.

As Nick Fury looked up, he saw that Wu Jin and Dr. Banner had already disappeared, and for the first time, he felt a sense of defeat.

But soon, he recovered and said, "Wake up General Ross and his team, and handle the aftermath!"

Click, click~

People around took pictures, and Nick Fury couldn't stop them in time.

In an age of global internet, nothing here was destined to remain secret.

That night, a video depicting Minato Namikaze's defeat of Envy and the Hulk was uploaded to YouTube, instantly becoming a trending topic.

Wu Jin's departure remarks were not intentionally obscured, causing the names of the Hidden Leaf Village and Hokage to suddenly become high-profile.

Countless netizens speculated about the location of Hidden Leaf Village and the nature of Hokage. Wu Jin's claim to be the "Fourth Hokage" gave the netizens a hint. It seemed that only Japan would refer to something this way!

Could it be that the Hidden Leaf Village is in Japan? Was it an organization from Japan?

As for Hokage, it seemed to be some kind of leader of the Hidden Leaf Village.

If everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village was so strong, then the world should have been dominated by them a long time ago.

This view was adopted by the authorities, and so SHIELD, along with the United Nations, jointly pressured Japan to reveal the location of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Naturally, Japan was at a loss. How would they know where the Hidden Leaf Village was?

Without the video on YouTube, they wouldn't even have known about the existence of Hidden Leaf Village and Hokage (Because the people in the Marvel world would not know about Naruto, as the creation of Marvel comics predates the existence of the Naruto series).

They didn't know, and other forces didn't believe it.

In response, Japan flatly refused and said, "If you want to find it, come and find it! We will fully cooperate! A village that big, it can't be impossible to find, right? If you really can't find it, then it means it's not in Japan!"

Of course, they couldn't find it.

But all of this was a later part of the story, unknown to Wu Jin.

At this moment, Dr. Banner, who was being carried over his shoulder, slowly regained consciousness.

The Hulk was truly resilient. Despite being beaten to that extent, he was now able to wake up.

After waking up, Wu Jin put him down.

He still maintained the appearance of Minato Namikaze, as if he could remain as Minato Namikaze as long as he didn't actively change back.

"You defeated the Hulk?" Bruce Banner's eyes held a complex gaze, although his words formed a question, his tone carried certainty.

Banner and the Hulk's memories were not entirely shared, but during the transformation into the Hulk, Banner could see some scattered images.

It felt like sporadic scenes from a dream.

Among them, there were the scenes of Envy being killed, and the Hulk being defeated by Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

Wu Jin nodded. This was not something that needed to be concealed.

"Well, since you've recovered, I'll be leaving," Wu Jin said.

Would Banner be considered a good person? Of course.

That's why Wu Jin's attitude was favorable.

But Banner stopped Wu Jin and earnestly pleaded, "Minato Namikaze, right? Can I stay by your side?"

Wu Jin frowned, "Why?"

"You were able to defeat the Hulk, you can restrain it. I need your help. I don't want to hurt others in anger."

Bruce Banner's words were sincere, plainly expressing his true thoughts.

Wu Jin fell silent as he contemplated the.

At the same time, his consciousness sank into the system space.

He had been too busy saving people and fighting earlier, and hadn't had time to explore the Golden Finger. Now, he took the opportunity to think about his new powers.

[Host: Wu Jin]

[Current Role: Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze]

[Current Performance Progress: 25%]

[Owned Characters: Fourth Hokageed: 0]

If he remembered correctly, his previous performance progress was at fifteen percent. At that time, he was pondering whether this fifteen percent was due to many similarities between himself and Minato Namikaze.

"Could it be because... I just killed Envy, defeated the Hulk, and finished off the mastermind, General Ross, completing the past life's obsession?"

If it weren't for Wu Jin's arrival, his predecessor would have been fatally knocked unconscious in the Envy rampage, and he would have died at the scene without any rescue, as that situation was undoubtedly a death sentence.

At this moment, the ethereal voice of the system sounded again.

[This system is the most powerful role-playing system, able to extract characters from various worlds, enabling hosts to transform and play as them.]

[The more the host's performance resembles the character, the higher the performance progress, and the stronger the power the host obtains. When the performance reaches its peak, the strength displayed by the host may even surpass that of the played character.]

Performance progress... performance progress!

"So that's how it is, I understand now!"

A burst of inspiration lit up Wu Jin's eyes.

What is a ninja? It's about receiving a mission, completing it, and receiving rewards. This is an essential part of the world of the Hokage.

From the powerful Uchiha Madara to the young Naruto Uzumaki, every ninja has had the experience of receiving and completing missions!

This is an indispensable aspect for all ninjas.

By just now killing Envy, he had essentially completed the task given to him by his predecessor.

The reward was everything left by the previous host—it meant that from now on, he truly was Wu Jin of the Marvel world! And also the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze of the Hidden Leaf.

Playing him—what could be more straightforward than accepting missions and completing each one?

At this moment, Wu Jin understood how to proceed with playing as Minato Namikaze. It wasn't just about aligning his actions with Minato Namikaze's character, but also using missions to raise his performance progress. Thinking about this, he had an idea regarding Dr. Banner's request.
