I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived! Novel

Hagoromo Gensou's transmigration into the Naruto world propelled him to prominence as a shinobi powerhouse, until the newly appointed Five Kage orchestrated a brutal ambush. In his darkest hour, a system finally emerges, pledging to forge him into the strongest ninja alive.

But fate intervenes cruelly. The system's first quest bewilders him: defeat Uzumaki Naruto, the academy's dead-last. His shock multiplies when discovering the temporal trap—the system has reset him to Year 2 of Konoha despite it being Year 60.

"System, what is this malfunction?"

Forced decades into the past, Gensou abandons despair and embraces the challenge ahead. Through relentless effort and strategic cultivation, he climbs toward his destined supremacy, year after grueling year.

The moment of reckoning arrives at the Chunin Exams. Atop the observation platform, facing the Third Hokage in battle-ready stance, Gensou's expression shifts to a subtle smirk. Though decades have elapsed, his time has come at last—to face the Five Kage once more as the ninja world's ultimate power.
