Whoosh!
A roar echoed across the vast ocean.
All the new students lost their footing and stumbled to the ground.
Already weak, they could only sit on the ground.
Then they realized that the 'island' beneath their feet was slowly moving.
Looking forward, they discovered it wasn't an island at all; a head emerged from the water.
It turned out to be a whale as large as an island.
They were merely standing on the whale's back.
What they thought was a island was just a small part of the whale's back.
"Ah, so it's a whale! I'm actually standing on the back of such a huge whale, that's so cool!"
Boruto's heart skipped a beat as he looked, a joyful expression on his face.
Holy cow, this is too cool.
This whale is even bigger than the toads of Mount Myōboku.
Boruto had seen the toads of Mount Myōboku, and he never expected there to be such a massive whale, even larger than the toads of Mount Myōboku.
Mitsuki: "What's this? The scene you're about to witness is the most astonishing."
The smile on his face seemed to anticipate Boruto's surprise later.
Boruto, hearing this: "What scene? How do you know so much? Aren't you a new student just like us?"
"That is Konoha's epic, the display of the strongest Ninja's power."
Mitsuki said with a smile.
As the whale swam further and further, a massive landmass appeared before their eyes.
As they drew closer, they noticed that the island was incredibly desolate, with hundreds of meters tall trees towering over it.
Many parts also seemed to have been knocked down by something, and the entire island looked as if it had been damaged by the battle of some colossal creature.
Naruto looked up and said, "Satoru, we can start now."
As Naruto spoke, the new students finally looked up and noticed several people flying in the sky above them, riding on auspicious clouds.
And in the distance, there was an even larger long worm, being stepped on by someone, soaring through the sky.
"Hahaha, alright! Let the new generation see our power too, give them something to look forward to. I hope they can surpass us."
Satoru laughed heartily and began to form hand signs.
Then, the whale beneath the new generation's feet began to change; its fins transformed into wings, and its body slowly grew feathers, carrying the new generation up from the sea.
Boom!
The giant whale emerged from the water, transforming into a roc.
The new generation could only watch as the giant whale beneath them turned into a flying bird.
Looking at the huge island in the distance, and the flying bird beneath them, they were all stunned, their hearts churning with turbulent waves.
It turned out that the whale just now was merely a Ninjutsu, and a Ninjutsu that could transform.
They all thought it was some Summoning Beast.
To be able to perform such a massive Ninjutsu, how powerful must that person be?
However, many students recognized the person slowly appearing before their eyes.
One of the legends of the Ninja World, Captain Satoru, Deputy Director of the Konoha Technology Development Bureau, Three-Star Glory Ninja.
One of the most famous people in the Ninja World.
It is said that not only in terms of strength, but even in industry, he is the foremost existence in the Ninja World. It is said that if Captain Satoru hadn't intervened, the Satoru family would be the richest in the world, controlling the most wealth.
"Captain Satoru!"
"Taijutsu Master!"
"Lord Sixth!"
"Hyuga genius, Lord Neji!"
"Who's the scruffy old man?"
They were all famous figures, so many students naturally recognized them.
The new students' faces were filled with surprise at this moment.
They never expected to have the chance to see so many legendary Ninja.
They had only seen them on television.
"It's Father! I didn't expect Father to actually come."
Hyuga Satoru's face lit up with surprise as he saw Neji, and he spoke to Taketori Hoki with a smile.
That was his proudest father.
Taketori Hoki, seeing Kakashi, pulled down a piece of cloth from his head, covering one of his eyes.
"It's Lord Sixth Hokage, Lord Kakashi!" His face was flushed with excitement.
He never expected to see Lord Sixth here.
That was his most admired person.
"Teacher Guy!" Metal Lee shouted loudly as he saw Might Guy.
Might Guy heard the voice, turned back, gave him a thumbs up, and showed his uniquely styled teeth.
The appearance of these Ninja dazzled the new generation.
It was truly too surprising.
Their previous disarray could not hide their excitement now.
Satoru spoke, "Well then, children, today I, Satoru, and the other teachers, will show you some of the Ninja's powers, to open your eyes. From now on, this will be the goal you must surpass."
It was time to show off again.
Doing it once a year was truly satisfying.
It was also an important moment to reduce his own stress.
Constantly researching this and that every day was also a mental burden.
Moreover, his children were gradually growing up and no longer needed his care, and his interactions with them had significantly decreased, leading to a lack of spiritual nourishment.
So every year, Satoru would participate in this scene of interacting with children.
Furthermore, this new student ceremony was originally proposed by him, so of course, he had to participate.
And many of these new students had not had their nerves implanted yet, which needed to be done.
After all, not everyone, like Boruto, Mitsuki, Hyuga Satoru, and others he valued, had parts of their parents' nerves transferred and grown into them at birth.
And he himself loved children.
Before he was married, he enjoyed it, though at that time it was more about satisfying a mischievous whim.
But now, at nearly forty years old, he genuinely loved children.
It was all his son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law's fault; they still hadn't laid an egg yet.
It had been four years, they had been married for four years, and he still hadn't become a grandfather.
It was truly shameful.
Back then, he had quickly gotten Ayame pregnant.
He had even hoped to become a grandfather before forty.
Then, perhaps, he could have five generations living under one roof.
Truly disappointing.
Now he could only play with other people's children more.
And these children before him were also the future of the Ninja World, if he couldn't defeat the Ōtsutsuki himself.
So he had to train, train, and train these children, in the midst of their childhood joy, to become beings that surpassed him.
Although it was a bit difficult.
But it wasn't impossible.
"Ninja's goal, what kind of goal? Is it to demonstrate something?"
The new students listened to his words, a little confused.
Were they going to show them the power of Ninja?
Shikadai pondered, "I'm afraid so. Otherwise, why would so many powerful Ninja be here?"
He had heard from his grandfather and father that these Ninja were among the strongest in the Ninja World.
Akimichi Chocho looked at the empty chips packet and sighed, "No more potato chips. Why isn't my dad here? My dad can also show off something really impressive."
She wanted to eat potato chips while watching the show.
