Chapter 4: The Unsettling Changes

Back at the tower, Naruto's transformation did not go unnoticed. The Third Hokage, along with Jiraiya, Kakashi, and other influential figures, gathered to discuss the implications of this unprecedented event. Naruto's chakra now radiated with a formidable intensity, and his eyes held an otherworldly glow.

The Hokage, his pipe in hand, addressed the assembled participants, emphasizing the significance of the exams. Naruto, however, couldn't contain his impatience, urging the old man to get to the point. His irreverence drew a mixture of amusement and exasperation from the crowd.

Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the Hokage exchanged wary glances, recognizing that Naruto's transformation signaled a shift in the balance of power. They resolved to keep a close eye on the proceedings, knowing that the upcoming battles would reveal the full extent of Naruto's newfound abilities.
