"A Three-Star Glory Ninja is a title bestowed upon top Ninja. Achieving a historic discovery or creating a worldwide great feat are absolute conditions to become a Three-Star Ninja.
You, Sasuke, and Sensei Satoru, the three of you were designated Three-Star Glory Ninja by the World Ninja Association for saving the world.
It's unlikely there will be any more after this,
because this is a title only obtainable by saving the world."
Shikamaru sighed after explaining the concept of a Glory Ninja.
The new ninja concept proposed by Sensei Satoru was truly brilliant.
He could already imagine that in order to obtain titles from the Ninja Association, all Ninja would shine in their respective fields, and it would also prevent too many Ninja from experiencing a decline in mission resources due to peace.
He was not surprised by the titles given to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sensei Satoru.
After listening, Naruto furrowed his brows, seemingly deep in thought.
"I still don't understand…"
After a moment of thought, he suddenly spoke.
Oh my… Shikamaru and the teachers were speechless.
So, after thinking for so long, he still didn't understand anything!
"This glory is even more impressive than being Hokage. Do you understand now?" Shikamaru rubbed his forehead.
"What? A title more impressive than Hokage? Then I don't have to study these anymore, do I?"
Naruto instantly grasped the key point, happily pointing at the various books behind him.
That's great.
"No, you still have to study, because this is just a title that can enhance your influence in the world,
but it doesn't come with specific power, nor can it make the Village's companions live better.
You not only have to study, but you also have to study more, study well, and study constantly, otherwise it would be an insult to the title of Three-Star Ninja."
Shikamaru immediately deduced Naruto's thoughts and splashed a bucket of cold water over him.
"What? I still have to study constantly?
Then can I not have that so-called Glory Ninja title?"
Naruto's jaw nearly dropped upon hearing this.
He quickly tried to decline that so-called title.
"There's no way, because there are only a few Three-Star Ninja, and it has probably already spread throughout the world."
Shikamaru chuckled.
"OMG, that hateful Satoru Uncle."
…A few days passed.
Information about the new ninja concept had spread throughout the world.
Even remote countries like Land of Snow and Ghost Country received this information.
And in the Five Great Nations, the various branches of the Ninja Association, serving as pilot sites, were bustling.
All sorts of Ninja gathered in front of the gates.
Anyone without a Village mission rushed to the front, wanting to be the first to participate in this historic moment.
Most importantly, after receiving a Ninja rating of one-star or higher, that Ninja would be recognized by all countries worldwide, not just a title recognized by a single country.
This was a new type of worldwide Ninja.
Ninja, who live by information, understood its value.
Obtaining a specific Ninja type certification would bring immense value.
They would gain favor from companies in various countries.
That meant a continuous stream of resources.
Land of Lightning Ninja Association.
"What? I can't even get certified as a one-star Music Ninja? Impossible, impossible! I'm the man who held a giant concert in Hidden Cloud Village! No…"
In the assessment venue, Killer Bee slumped down upon hearing the examiner's merciless words, muttering incessantly.
The Eight-Tails laughed heartily at this: "I told you your rap was mediocre and you wouldn't get star Ninja certification, but you wouldn't believe me."
It was hilarious.
For someone who considered himself a rap expert, this reality was truly a blow.
Killer Bee, looking utterly defeated, slowly walked out of the Ninja Association's gate.
Ignoring the bustling Ninja eager to take the star Ninja assessment, he trudged to the restaurant across the street, his face full of dejection.
He needed a big meal to relieve his frustration.
Swish, swish!
Ordering a large meal, Killer Bee turned his grief and indignation into appetite.
"Yo, Killer Bee, did you pass? Hmph, this Ninja Association's certification is so unprofessional.
I'm a world-class music rap celebrity, yet I only received a one-star Music Ninja certification.
Not even two stars, it's an absolute disgrace…"
A figure also appeared in the restaurant, and upon seeing Killer Bee, immediately came over to complain.
His mouth was full of indignation towards the Ninja Association.
He slapped the Music Ninja certificate the Association gave him onto the table in front of Killer Bee.
'Crack'
A sound of heartbreak echoed.
Killer Bee looked at the gleaming certificate, the single star on it, and his long-desired one-star Music Ninja certificate.
Especially since the person complaining to him was Mr. Kogane, whom he admired.
His hands were trembling.
"No… Even Mr. Kogane is only a one-star Music Ninja. Does that mean I… have no chance?"
Killer Bee looked at Mr. Kogane, his heart growing darker.
"Eh, Killer Bee, did you pass?
You must have passed, your rap talent is pretty good, you should have passed, right?"
After complaining, Mr. Kogane asked Killer Bee.
Stop!
Killer Bee took a big bite, shoveling food into his mouth: "I didn't pass, I'm an unlicensed Ninja…"
Sadness.
"You didn't pass? Sure enough, this Ninja Association has a hidden agenda.
They definitely want us to bribe them with money. I've held so many concerts all over the world, I'm too familiar with this."
Mr. Kogane felt this must be the problem.
"I disdain bribery. I want to honorably pass the Music Ninja certification,
otherwise, it would be an insult to music, an insult to rap."
Killer Bee slammed the table, declaring loudly.
"Yosh, well said! We are noble Music Ninja, and we absolutely disdain such petty tactics." Mr. Kogane greatly approved of his philosophy.
Tap, tap, tap!
"Sensei Killer Bee, so you didn't become a star Ninja either? How is that possible?"
Omoi, Karui, and Samui walked over from behind.
They found it incredibly unbelievable that even Sensei Killer Bee hadn't passed.
Killer Bee felt another stab to his heart upon hearing his disciples' words.
"What about you all, did you pass?" Killer Bee quickly changed the subject, otherwise he felt he would die of depression.
Omoi and Karui both sighed dejectedly: "We were assessed for Bounty Ninja certification, which requires us to make outstanding contributions in bounty missions starting now to get a one-star certification. Our previous experience doesn't count."
Hearing that his disciples hadn't passed, Killer Bee suddenly felt much better.
The Eight-Tails inside him was practically dying of laughter.
"It seems the certification conditions vary for different types of Ninja.
I'm a Lost History Ninja, and I need to provide evidence from various sources to fill in historical gaps to get a one-star certification.
But I passed."
Samui bared eight teeth, picked up her Ninja certificate, and showed it off to the Ninja present.
Fortunately, she was clever. At the initial stage of the Ninja Association's creation, she recognized this point and immediately started her research.
Otherwise, after some time, it would certainly have been substantiated by other well-informed Ninja first.
"Oh, No…"
Even Samui had obtained the desired certificate, but he hadn't. Killer Bee's eating strength even diminished.
