Ōnoki was unusually wary during yesterday afternoon's interview, especially when Konoha Ninja asked if he wanted to provide photos or have them taken by the Konoha Ninja.
Ōnoki, only wanting to send them away as quickly as possible, refused without hesitation.
As the least cooperative among the five, Ōnoki faced Kitsuki's retribution, who directly used an old photo and cropped it.
For all the important figures in the Ninja World today, with a few exceptions, the first impression Ōnoki gave them was that he was short, pathetic, and lewd.
Ōnoki had clearly thought of this, which was why he was unusually furious.
However, this was Konoha, and Ōnoki had no recourse other than shouting in his room.

Naruto also flipped the newspaper to another page, and the first thing that caught his eye was Tomoki's smiling face, dressed in the Hokage robe.
There was no helping it; it was simply too conspicuous.
Naruto then seriously began to read the text, starting, of course, with Tomoki's introduction.

Interspersed were various moments of Tomoki showing off and looking cool, as well as highlight moments from several battles.
Even Naruto, who had been living with Tomoki recently, felt a surge of emotion reading the content of Tomoki's interview.
The rest of Konoha's people, needless to say, were all flushed, as if in a spiritual climax, excitedly discussing with those around them.
The more they discussed, the more excited they became, and the more unwavering their belief.
Not only the people of Konoha, but everyone else in the Ninja World, whether Ninja or nobles, had a deep impression of Tomoki.
Especially some nobles who paid little attention to the Ninja World, after asking the Ninja from their own villages, concluded that there was some exaggeration, but generally, it was accurate.
And some female Ninja's eyes were practically gleaming, as Tomoki's introduction listed his marital status as 'unmarried'.
His further views on choosing a partner stated that it mainly depended on the feelings between the two, and that status, nationality, and other things were not important; as long as it was suitable, nothing could be an obstacle.
Among them was Kurotsuchi, who was in the room next to Ōnoki's, now also staring at Tomoki's photo with gleaming eyes, comparing Tomoki to Deidara in her mind.
The group was moving forward in an orderly fashion; the uncle who lent Naruto the newspaper had already entered the Ichiraku Ramen shop, and Naruto quickly scanned the rest of the content.
After Tomoki's section came Mei Terumī.
Naruto first looked at the photo, and his initial impression was of a very beautiful older sister.
Mei Terumī's introduction was also quite detailed: proficient in all Water Release Ninjutsu, a rare possessor of two Kekkei, the Scorch Release that melts everything, and the Boil Release that corrodes everything.
Her extensive list of Ninjutsu proficiencies made Naruto realize that this beautiful older sister possessed terrifying strength.
[Final conclusion: Dignified appearance, gentle and friendly personality, entrusted with leadership during a critical period of survival, leading Hidden Mist back to revitalization, a respectable and excellent Mizukage.]
Continuing downwards was Darui, the Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village.
Naruto saw an image of a dark-skinned, serious and earnest man with a giant blade on his back, his right index finger pointing forward, full of determination.
The introduction emphasized his mastery of the Storm Release Kekkei and incredible black lightning, with most other details kept confidential.
[Final conclusion: Powerful physique, decisive and resolute personality, entrusted with leadership during a losing battle, saving Kumogakure from peril, a reliable and outstanding Raikage.]
Naruto pouted slightly, but didn't waste time, quickly browsing the subsequent content.
Rasa was sufficiently wary of Konoha; when Konoha Ninja took his photo, he was fully armored, only revealing his eyes.
Naruto saw only a pair of cold eyes filled with gloom.
Rasa's introduction was also brief: the inheritor of Magnet Release, possessing terrifying techniques capable of burying several kilometers in an instant.
[Final conclusion: Dangerous eyes, as if capable of devouring everything, calm and fearless personality, a trampler of order, a wise and excellent Kazekage.]
What the heck!
Naruto mumbled slightly, but his actions didn't stop, intending to continue reading, but the newspaper in his hand was snatched away by a hand.
It was then that Naruto realized the uncle from earlier, carrying several packed ramen bowls, was about to leave.
"Uncle, can I look at it for a little longer, just a little? I haven't finished reading about the Tsuchikage yet!"
"Reading so fast, as expected of a Ninja. But there's nothing much left to see. I'm in a hurry right now, so keep up the good work, Uzumaki Naruto! I'll be watching your match later too."
