Very soon, countless beams of white light flickered into existence as many students logged out of the Naruto Online world and returned to reality.
In just a short while, the entire playground was filled with students materializing one after another.
It was easy to see that many of them were still wearing ninja outfits from their respective hidden villages after logging out. Some even still had genin forehead protectors on their heads, making them look quite imposing.
"Hahaha! This time, as soon as I logged into Naruto, I relied on my own ability and successfully earned the recognition of the Kirigakure instructors. They've agreed to let me join the Kirigakure Ninja Academy! I hear one of my classmates is none other than a future member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—Momochi Zabuza!"
"What!? One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!? You're classmates with Zabuza!? That's insane! I heard he's super handsome—and a master of Water Release!"
"Old Wang, seeing how happy you are, your level must be pretty high, right? Level 20?"
"Nope, I'm already level 21! Next time I log in, I'll definitely build a good relationship with Zabuza!"
The students chatted animatedly. Those who had performed exceptionally well in the game immediately began showing off, their faces full of excitement.
The surrounding classmates could only look on with envy and jealousy.
Ignoring the chatter, Ning Feng quickly found a quiet corner of the playground and entered a meditative state.
For him, rapidly increasing his strength was what mattered most.
Although he now mastered many jutsu, how to use them with maximum efficiency was still a major issue.
Just as the students were engrossed in discussion, a girl suddenly spoke up, drawing many gazes toward Ning Feng.
"Ning Feng, you were already level 16 last time. You must've improved a lot this time too, right? What level are you now?"
To this day, many students still vividly remembered the shocking scene where Ning Feng single-handedly slew a C-rank demonic beast.
Even the student who had been bragging moments ago now fell silent, his breathing growing tense as he looked expectantly at Ning Feng.
"It's not that high. My strength is still very weak—no need to ask," Ning Feng said with a shrug.
Showing off to kids like these simply wasn't worth his time. Practicing jutsu was far more important.
Hearing this, those who had felt envious of Ning Feng all secretly let out a sigh of relief.
If Ning Feng's power had grown just as absurdly this time, then all their own efforts would have felt meaningless.
"Ning Feng, come on, tell us!"
But peace was short-lived.
The same student who had just finished boasting— the one who chose Kirigakure—walked over with a feigned look of curiosity.
"This time I joined the Ninja Academy, and I'm even in the same class as Zabuza, who's already been chosen as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. My strength is definitely going to skyrocket."
"Why don't we exchange notes? It'll help us both improve faster…"
He deliberately spoke loudly, clearly afraid others wouldn't hear that he was classmates with Zabuza.
Ning Feng glanced indifferently at this clueless guy, shook his head, and said flatly, "Sorry. No time."
After all, in the original Naruto story, Momochi Zabuza—one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen—was infamous for slaughtering his entire class.
Anyone who went to school with Zabuza was doomed.
That was precisely why Kirigakure earned the name the Bloody Mist Village.
The student was about to say more when Principal Wang, standing on the podium and seeing the noisy crowd, smiled gently and asked, "Students, how was your experience logging in this time?"
The Kirigakure student was just about to raise his hand and show off again—
When suddenly, several security guards stationed at the school gate came running over in a panic.
"Principal Wang! Just like last time, demonic beasts are attacking the school again!"
"And this time, they're much larger than before… they seem to be B-rank!"
Before the guard could finish speaking, a series of earth-shaking booms rolled in from the distance. The ground began to tremble violently, as if a powerful earthquake were underway.
"What!? B-rank!?"
Principal Wang was instantly stunned.
A single B-rank demonic beast was enough to destroy an entire school—far beyond what a C-rank beast could compare to.
Ning Feng frowned slightly. His three-tomoe Sharingan flared crimson as he activated it.
Sure enough, amid the trembling earth, many enormous demonic beasts—shaped like gigantic mountain cats—were charging toward them at terrifying speed.
Only then did Ning Feng realize that after every logout, demonic beasts seemed to be drawn here to attack.
Could it be… that Qinglong High School was hiding some kind of secret?
As this thought crossed his mind, under the horrified gazes of Principal Wang and the security guards, a colossal mountain cat—nearly as tall as a two-story building—came fully into view.
In front of these massive beasts, tall and sturdy humans looked no different from ants.
"What the hell is going on!? Why are demonic beasts attacking Qinglong High School every time!?"
"Yeah! Is there really something hidden here!?"
"We just logged out and we're already facing a trial!?"
The students panicked completely. Many were ready to flee in all directions, terrified that if they were even a moment too slow, they'd be crushed under the massive paws of the mountain cats.
Although they had learned during their first login that Naruto Online existed to prepare them for demonic beasts descending into the real world, seeing such colossal monsters in person was still overwhelming.
"Everyone, don't panic! Evacuate in an orderly manner!"
"The city's security forces are already on the move—they'll protect us soon!"
Principal Wang hurriedly tried to calm everyone, terrified that chaos at this moment would lead to disaster—and make it impossible to face the parents later.
In fact, Principal Wang had already prepared himself to die if necessary.
The teachers behind him were the same—faces calm, resolute.
Just as the gigantic mountain cat drew closer and closer to the students, it suddenly leapt forward, pouncing straight toward Principal Wang and the crowd.
At that critical instant, a calm voice rang out:
"Summoning Jutsu!"
The next moment—
While the giant mountain cat was still midair, it was slammed into the ground by a foot belonging to a being even larger than itself—
A colossal Enma, the Monkey King.
