Buzz!
Just as everyone was harboring their own thoughts and preparing to act—
The scroll floating in the sky suddenly trembled.
A beam of golden light shot toward the Chūnin Exam arena in Konoha.
It's here!
The moment everyone had been waiting for.
Many people had already begun imagining—
What it would be like if their friend, roommate, or even themselves took a Transformation Pill.
"I'll help distribute them!"
In the spectator stands for ordinary viewers—
Bai Yan, who had perfectly read the intentions of the Third Hokage, Danzō, and the others, suddenly opened his narrowed eyes.
In that instant—
Across the entire Shinobi World, both the living and the Pure Land…
Every person and object froze, except for the enormous scroll hanging above Konoha.
Time… had been stopped by Bai Yan!
The scroll isn't affected?
It seems this scroll is something that transcends time!
Whoosh!
Bai Yan didn't make any unnecessary movements. He simply lifted his hand and flicked a finger.
Space rippled slightly, and the golden light in midair instantly shattered into ten parts.
The ten Transformation Pills originally meant for Orochimaru and Sasuke—
In an instant appeared in the hands of ten people: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzō, Sasuke, Naruto, Orochimaru, Uchiha Madara, Haku, Uchiha Itachi, Uzumaki Nagato, and Bai Yan himself.
"Now this is interesting."
With a slight smile, Bai Yan narrowed his eyes again.
Time in the Naruto world resumed.
Nani! Nani! NANI??
Across the entire Shinobi World, both the living and the dead— even the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki—were utterly dumbfounded.
Where's the golden light?
Where's the reward?
Did they hallucinate?
Konoha, Chūnin Exam Arena
Ino: "Forehead Girl, do you know what's going on?"
Sakura: "How would I know? And Ino-pig, stop calling me Forehead Girl!"
Kiba: "What happened? Did the reward malfunction?"
Shikamaru: "Previously it was always one person, so the golden light dropped straight onto the one who ranked. This time two people ranked at the same time—maybe that's why."
Chōji: "As expected of Shikamaru, that must be it."
Sasuke tightened his right hand. In his palm sat a small pellet.
He knew—this was probably the Transformation Pill.
But why only one?
Still, one was enough. After all, a person could only take one.
He thought a lot, but kept a calm expression.
"What is this...?"
Naruto stared blankly at the nail-sized pellet that had appeared in his hand.
"Ah! I know! This must be the Transformation Pill!"
Naruto raised the pellet high and shouted, "Hey everyone! A bead suddenly showed up in my hand! I think this is the Transformation Pill!"
People all around turned toward him—
Sure enough, Naruto was holding a pill.
???
What?
Everyone was confused.
Why did Naruto get a Transformation Pill?
If that's the case, who knows where the others went?
"Idiot!!!"
Sasuke reacted first. Cursing through clenched teeth, he grabbed Naruto's hand and shoved the pill straight into Naruto's mouth.
"Mmph!"
Naruto, who swallowed the pill, panicked. "Sasuke! What are you doing!?"
Seeing that Naruto had already swallowed it, Sasuke sighed in relief, called him an idiot again, and stopped paying attention to him.
Beside them—
Hinata stared at Naruto nervously.
N-Naruto… just took a Transformation Pill?
Then… will Naruto turn into a girl?
W-What will she do??
(Note: He'll turn back later.)
Tenten: "Naruto ate a Transformation Pill? Oh my god. If he becomes a girl…"
She imagined Naruto in women's clothing, then quickly shook her head violently to banish the image.
Too terrifying to imagine.
Chōji and the others also shook their heads frantically.
Clearly, they had imagined Naruto in girl form too.
"Great! If Naruto turns into a girl, maybe he'll stop pestering me. But…"
Sakura was happy at first, then looked nervously at Sasuke.
She must stop Sasuke from taking one!
Rock Lee: "Naruto! It's alright! Youth deserves crossdressing! If the time comes, I'll join you!"
Kiba made a face. "Lee… don't tell me you wanted to crossdress from the start?"
"I'm quite curious," Shikamaru said calmly. "What exactly does feminization look like?"
Everyone on site stared at Naruto with anticipation.
They wanted to see what would happen after Naruto took the Transformation Pill.
Under countless eager gazes—
Naruto began to change.
"Ah! What is this!?"
Naruto looked down at his transforming body.
He had become a tall, large-chested, blonde girl with twin ponytails. His clothes were ripped apart by the sudden change.
At the same time, he sensed a huge surge in power.
"Pff!!"
Hiruzen and Kakashi spurted nosebleeds and collapsed.
"N-Naruto-kun…"
Hinata, seeing the new Naruto, fainted on the spot.
"Ah! AAAAAH! How did I turn into this!?"
Hiruzen climbed up and touched the Transformation Pill he had quietly pocketed.
He scanned the surroundings with a grave expression.
Something was wrong. The Transformation Pills originally meant for Sasuke and Orochimaru—
Had been distributed to random people instead. He'd even gotten one himself. That saved him the trouble of stealing it—good news.
Naruto had one, he had one, and the whereabouts of the remaining eight were unclear.
In that case—Danzō would definitely stop making moves.
And if he attacked Sasuke instead, Orochimaru wouldn't sit idly by.
Without Danzō acting, he might not succeed.
Worse, attacking a child could destroy his prestige in the village.
"Endure…"
"I'll take the Transformation Pill when I have a chance, increase my strength, get used to the power—then I'll act!"
Hiruzen only watched Orochimaru vigilantly, making no moves.
