Naruto: Adopted Son of Minato

"Ding! Tonight, breakthrough to the next stage: Chunin."

Hiroshi's lips curled into a slight smile.

Great, finally a Chunin, he thought.

The onlookers applauded. They were pragmatic; strength determined who was the boss.

"God, you're amazing! You defeated Ichiryu and his underlings! What's your secret?" the student who had argued with Ichiryu asked, awestruck.

Hiroshi turned to him. After a few seconds, he recognized him and smiled. "No problem, but tell me your name first. Thanks for sticking up for me earlier."

"I... I'm Yamada, Senju Yamada," Yamada said excitedly.

Hiroshi was surprised. He hadn't expected him to be from the Senju clan.

"I remember you. Come to me if you need anything. My secret? Hard work. I believe you'll surpass me someday," Hiroshi said, jokingly, keeping his secret to himself.

Yamada was stunned. "That's the god's secret? I'll train hard too!"

Hiroshi chuckled, noticing the envious gazes around him.

"Ding! Host's reputation +5."

"Ding! Host defeated Ichiryu. Strength +1, Stamina +2."

Hiroshi pushed through the crowd to reach Harumiko and the others.

"Wow, Hiroshi! You were so weak before, and now you're this strong! You were hiding it well!" Aya said, clapping him on the shoulder.

Harumiko frowned slightly. "Aya, be gentle. Hiroshi fought for a long time."

Aya chuckled and turned to Hanako.

Hiroshi rubbed his shoulder. "Harumiko, how was that? Pretty cool, huh?"

Harumiko smiled. "You're incorrigible! You're still joking around. Sounds like you're okay."

Hiroshi laughed. "Alright, let's go home. It's getting late. I need a good sleep."

The four of them started their journey home.
