---
[Kiba Inuzuka: Hinata!! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻]
[Sakura Haruno: Hinata! Congratulations~ (^_^)]
[Kiba Inuzuka: Oh no! Hinata fainted!]
[Kurenai Yuhi: With Naruto? Honestly, not surprised.]
[Kushina Uzumaki: From the Hyuga clan, huh? Minato, let's go propose marriage today!]
[Hiashi Hyuga: ?]
[Minato Namikaze: Honey... isn't that a bit early? They're still kids...]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Mom! You're embarrassing me!!]
[Konohamaru Sarutobi: But didn't you like that violent girl, Naruto-nii?]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Violent girl...?]
[Sakura Haruno: BAKA! You little brat! Who are you calling violent?!]
---
[Rock Lee: Since Naruto married Hinata... then, Sakura! Please go out with me!]
[Adult Sasuke Uchiha: ?]
[Sakura Haruno: No way!!!]
[Sakura Haruno: I only love Sasuke!!]
[Young Sasuke Uchiha: Tch…]
---
[Onoki: Why is this a video about Konoha brats? What's so interesting about this?]
[Onoki: I wanted to see a video about Iwagakure's shinobi instead!]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: The problem is... aside from you, Iwagakure doesn't have anyone particularly famous.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Oh wait, I almost forgot… there's Deidara. My bad.]
[Onoki: Hiruzen Sarutobi! You... you've gone too far!!]
---
[Orochimaru: Ahem... everyone! From now on, in the Shinobi World, Konoha's rules are the rules!]
[Nagato: ?]
[Madara Uchiha: ?]
[Obito Uchiha: ?]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: ?]
[Fourth Raikage: ?]
[Mei Terumi: ?]
[Onoki: Arrogant!
[Jiraiya: Savage.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: And who exactly made you Konoha's spokesperson?]
[Rasa: You're a rogue ninja from Konoha. What right do you have to say that?]
---
[Minato Namikaze: Sorry, I forgot to mention—Orochimaru is now the head of Konoha's Research Division!]
[Onoki: So this is your idea, Fourth Hokage?]
[Minato Namikaze: Not exactly. It was Orochimaru's own decision.]
---
[Madara Uchiha: Actually, he's right. Back in our day, when Hashirama and I made the rules—those rules were the rules.]
[Hashirama Senju: Madara! You're being too extreme!]
[Madara Uchiha: You're just too naive, Hashirama.]
[Madara Uchiha: I'll bring real peace to this world!]
[Tobirama Senju: And now you're dead. What's the point of all this talk?]
[Madara Uchiha: Hmph! Clown.]
---
[Izuna Uchiha: Why are you barking like a dog? Your Fourth Hokage was only revived because of a Sky Screen reward!]
[Izuna Uchiha: So why can't my big brother come back too?!]
[Tobirama Senju: Do you think all rewards automatically go to your brother? With that IQ of his? Please.]
[Izuna Uchiha: Don't insult my brother! He's smarter than yours. Your brother is all brawn, no brains—a complete idiot!]
[Tobirama Senju: At least my brother got married. Your brother walks around with a dead-face like someone owes him money—no wonder he's single for life.]
[Izuna Uchiha: You—!!]
[Madara Uchiha: Enough, Izuna!]
[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, control your little brother too!]
[Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, if you two wanna argue, leave me and Madara out of it...]
[Tobirama Senju: Hmph...]
---
[Onoki: This is gold.]
[Suigetsu Hozuki: Not quite what I expected...]
[Onoki: Close enough though.]
---
[Minato Namikaze: In half a month, Konoha will host the Chūnin Exams again. I hereby invite all villages to participate!]
[Onoki: What's this? The Fourth Hokage returns and immediately throws his weight around with a big display?]
[Minato Namikaze: You misunderstand, Lord Tsuchikage. Since I've just been revived, I'm unfamiliar with the current state of the village and the world—this is a good chance to learn more.]
---
[Chiyo: Sunagakure will definitely attend!]
[Onoki: Of course you will. Your village always clings to Konoha's coattails.]
[Chiyo: And what about your Iwagakure, then? Will you attend?]
[Onoki: Hmph! You'll find out soon enough.]
---
[Fourth Raikage: We from Kumogakure will join in the fun as well!]
[Fifth Mizukage: Kirigakure will also attend!]
[Nagato: Amegakure wants to join too. I hope the Hokage doesn't mind?]
[Minato Namikaze: Of course not! You're my junior. As your senior—and someone who's heard much about you from Jiraiya-sensei—I'm looking forward to meeting you.]

Amegakure
"Nagato, are you really planning to go?"
Konan looked at Tendo Pain, puzzled.
Tendo Pain expressionlessly replied,
"Yes. All of us are going."
Konan asked,
"Why?"
He pointed to the Sky Screen in the sky.
"Because of that."
