Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 208 The Development of Konoha, the Rise of a New Generation

Time flies, and years slip through our fingers like quicksand. In just a few short years, the entire ninja world has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The balance of power among the five great nations, once rife with war and rigidly established, has long been shattered by a powerful force. The core of this era's upheaval is none other than Uchiha Yao, whose real name is Lin Yao, who now firmly holds the position of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

Since Lin Yao took over Konoha, this ninja village, standing at the heart of the ninja world, has ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity and flourishing. Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's indecisiveness and Danzo Shimura's ruthlessness and narrow-mindedness, both of whom were constantly hampered by various forces within the village, even their own exceptionally talented geniuses suffered from suspicion, exclusion, and even covert persecution, Lin Yao possessed a completely different source of confidence. The top-tier eye power of the Uchiha clan surrounding him and his unfathomable combat strength were the most solid foundation for his control over the entire village. This absolute power allowed him to be unafraid of any provocation from any force, and he did not need to consolidate his power by suppressing geniuses.

Under his rule, Konoha completely abandoned the bad habit of internal strife. All the village's talented young ninjas received the best resources and top-notch mentors. From ninjutsu training to theoretical learning, from practical experience to character development, every aspect was meticulously arranged. In just a few years, Konoha saw the emergence of a large number of powerful and promising young ninjas. Like rising stars, they caused the village's combat strength to soar at a visible rate.

Besides vigorously cultivating local geniuses, Lin Yao also changed Konoha's previous closed-off attitude, extending an olive branch to the entire ninja world with an inclusive and open approach. Bloodline limit ninjas from the Land of Water driven to desperation by the bloodline limit cleansing policy, white ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village expelled due to racial differences, wandering secret technique clans... as long as they were sincere and willing to abide by Konoha's rules, none were excluded from the village. And among all the outsider groups, Lin Yao's care for the Uzumaki clan far surpassed that of others.

Firstly, the Uzumaki clan possessed top-tier chakra reserves, formidable vitality, and unparalleled sealing techniques, making them an indispensable core force of Konoha. Secondly, out of affection for Kushina Uzumaki, Lin Yao always considered the Uzumaki clan members as his closest kin. At his behest, Konoha allocated a dedicated settlement area for the Uzumaki clan, providing ample training resources and living supplies, allowing this ancient clan, which had once suffered annihilation, to finally take root in Konoha. Their numbers steadily increased, and their ninja combat strength continued to recover.

In the council hall of Iwagakure, in the Land of Earth, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, clutched the latest intelligence report in his hand. His wrinkled face was contorted with shock and rage, his cloudy old eyes fixed on the words on the report. His knuckles turned white from the force of his grip, and even the chakra around his body fluctuated uncontrollably. He slammed the report heavily onto the stone table, making a dull thud, his voice filled with lingering fear and resentment: "Damn it! The entire ninja world underestimated this Hokage's ambition! Uchiha You's methods are even more ruthless and insidious than Senju Tobirama's!"

He finally realized, belatedly, that Konoha's so-called plan to restore the Land of Whirlpools was a meticulously planned deception from beginning to end. It was merely a smokescreen used by Lin Yao to divert the attention of the other ninja villages. The real purpose was to create a frontline military base directly facing the Land of Water, while simultaneously absorbing the scattered fighting forces of the entire ninja world and quietly strengthening Konoha's power. Now that Konoha's dominance in the ninja world was clear, Onoki knew that Iwagakure alone could not resist it. He could only grit his teeth and send people to contact Kumogakure and Sunagakure, attempting to barely resist Konoha's powerful rise through joint economic development and resource sharing.

Unbeknownst to them, this seemingly arduous struggle was entirely under Lin Yao's control from beginning to end. To Lin Yao, the petty actions of these three ninja villages were nothing more than childish play, something he never took seriously. With Konoha's current strength, if he truly intended to annihilate them, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure wouldn't last even half a month. The reason he allowed them to cause trouble was simply because he found this cat-and-mouse game somewhat entertaining.

Turning our attention back to Konoha, the bustling Ninja Academy training grounds are always the most vibrant place in the village. Eight-year-old Uchiha Sasuke, dressed in a sleek black outfit, his bangs damp with sweat, clung tightly to his smooth forehead. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes focused and sharp. The shuriken in his hand shot out like a meteor, hitting the bullseye precisely. The force was so great that the wooden board supporting the bullseye trembled slightly. Beside him, Namikaze Naruto, with his dazzling blond hair, had lost the loneliness and extremism of the original story in his blue eyes, replaced by a calmness and composure rarely seen in his peers. He shook his slightly sore arm, turned to Sasuke, a confident smile playing on his lips, and said in a clear voice, "Sasuke! I won't give up!"

This composure and confidence didn't come from nowhere; it stemmed from their complete and warm families. Naruto was no longer an orphan without love; he had his father, Minato Namikaze, carefully guiding him, and his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, gently caring for him. Sasuke, too, hadn't experienced the tragedy of his clan's annihilation; he grew up surrounded by his older brother and family, his heart filled with sunshine. The two stood side by side on the training field, one in black and one in gold, becoming the most eye-catching sight on the field.

Just then, a domineering and arrogant voice suddenly shattered the tranquility of the training ground, carrying an undeniable force that instantly silenced the playful students around them. Naruto and Sasuke's pupils contracted slightly, and almost reflexively took two steps back to the side, a barely perceptible hint of fear appearing on their faces.

A young girl, with light pink lips, long, flowing hair, and a sexy, elegant skirt, walked slowly towards them. Her back was ramrod straight, and she exuded an aura of dominance. With each step she took, the students around her instinctively lowered their heads to give way, making her seem like the undisputed leader of the ninja academy.

"Make way! Hinata, the boss, is here!"

Someone whispered something, and the crowd instantly parted to make way. The girl was none other than Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. Completely different from the timid and meek Hinata of the original story, who even spoke in a soft voice, the current Hinata was domineering and flamboyant, her strength overwhelming all her peers, making her the undisputed number one at the Ninja Academy.

On the stone steps, parents attending the school event all turned their attention to Hyuga Hiashi in the crowd. This Jonin, usually so polite and maintaining the air of a high-ranking member of the Hyuga clan, now had flushed cheeks and red ears, so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground. His carefully cultivated, gentle young lady had become a school bully, causing him to lose face in front of all the parents. Hyuga Hizashi, watching his brother's embarrassment, smiled a rare, teasing smile and whispered, "Big brother, it seems Hinata has done a good job teaching her."

This teasing remark made Hiashi Hyuga lower his head even further.

Hinata, however, paid no attention to this. She walked straight to the center of the training field, looked at the targets left by Naruto and Sasuke, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She casually drew a kunai and a shuriken from her waist, and with a sudden flick of her wrist, a burst of chakra, carrying the weapons, shot out fiercely. With a loud "bang," the two targets were smashed to pieces, the kunai and shuriken clattering to the ground, startling the surrounding students who gasped in surprise.

Hinata stood with her hands on her hips, chin raised, glaring down at Naruto and Sasuke with an air of arrogance: "Hey, you two, do you have a problem with that?!"

Naruto and Sasuke shook their heads so hard they didn't dare utter a single word of rebuttal. Minato Namikaze, standing in the parents' group chat, watched his son shrink back in fear, a wry smile playing on his lips.

"Hiashi's daughter is really amazing, first place again," a parent nearby casually praised. Hiashi, however, felt his face burning with shame. He strode forward, grabbed Hinata by the back of her collar, glared at her with his Byakugan, and scolded in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you?! Tone it down! What will people think of the Hyuga clan if you keep acting like this!"

"You nagging old man!" Hinata turned her head and glared at Hiashi Hyuga. Despite her young age, her rebellious nature was ingrained in her bones. "I'll just get first place, why make such a fuss?"

Hiashi Hyuga was speechless, his eyes wide with anger. Just then, Hinata's younger sister, Kaori Hyuga, came skipping over, tugging at her sister's sleeve and excitedly shouting, "Wow! Sister, you're number one again! That's amazing! Oh, and Sister, the Hokage is watching you too!"

"Lord Hokage?"

Hinata's eyes lit up instantly. The domineering little tyrant from a moment ago moved with astonishing speed—she unzipped her coat, casually wiped off her lipstick, grabbed a hair tie, and neatly tied her long hair into a ponytail. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a domineering schoolgirl into the obedient girl that Hyuga Hiashi had always dreamed of. Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and excitement as she looked around. When she saw that tall figure in the crowd, a radiant smile immediately bloomed on her face.

This completely different appearance made Hiashi Hyuga shake his head helplessly, and the last thought in his heart of raising his daughter to be a lady of high society was completely shattered.

Uchiha Yao stood at the forefront of the parents' group, watching Hinata's amusing transformation. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. This world had already deviated from its original course because of his arrival. Even Hinata, with her gentlest personality, had become like this. If it weren't for the fact that most of the people around him were familiar, he would have thought he was in a completely unfamiliar time and space.

Just as the entire ninja academy was immersed in laughter and joy, an ANBU member silently appeared behind Uchiha You and whispered a few words. Uchiha You's smile faded slightly, he nodded slightly to Namikaze Minato beside him, turned around and quickly left the training ground.

Hinata witnessed this scene, and the shyness on her face vanished instantly. She reverted to her domineering older sister self, hands on her hips, and strode up to Naruto and Sasuke, raising her chin as she asked, "Blonde, and Sasuke, did you two even mention me to the Hokage?"

Naruto frowned, forcing a smile, and retorted, "I'm not called Yellow Hair."

"My name isn't Erzhuzi either!" Sasuke immediately chimed in, his face full of frustration.

Hinata raised an eyebrow, looking completely matter-of-fact: "Isn't your hair blonde? And you, the Hokage and your brother both called you Sasuke, right?"

With just one sentence, he left Naruto and Sasuke speechless. What Uchiha Yao had casually called "Sasuke" back then had now become the last thing Sasuke wanted to hear, leaving him frustrated and powerless to refute.

Not far away, Sakura Haruno looked at Sasuke with eyes full of admiration and whispered, "Wow, have you guys noticed? Sasuke looks just like the Hokage!"

"Yeah, the Hokage is so handsome!" The little girl next to her chimed in.

These words instantly ignited Hinata's fury. Veins bulged on her forehead, and with a glare in her Byakugan, she strode up to Sakura Haruno, her tone icy and threatening: "Sakura Haruno! If you dare to have designs on the Hokage, I'll kill you!"

Sakura, with her adorable pink hair, turned pale with fright and trembled all over. She quickly waved her hands, saying, "No...no, I was just saying that Sasuke looks a lot like the Hokage." The little girls around her nodded in agreement, afraid of offending this school bully.

Hinata's expression softened slightly upon hearing this. She turned to Sasuke, unusually suppressing her temper, and forced a smile. She patted Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Sasuke, if this blond guy bullies you in the future, or if you can't beat him, ask your stepmother to help you get revenge."

"Who can't beat Naruto!" Sasuke instantly bristled, his eyes widening. His pride wouldn't allow him to admit that he was weaker than Naruto, so he automatically filtered out the second half of the sentence that would break him.

"That's good. We can't embarrass Lord You." Hinata nodded in satisfaction, then turned and strode away.


Sasuke suddenly grabbed Naruto's arm, his expression changing drastically: "Wait! What did she just say! The last sentence!"

Naruto paused for a moment before hesitantly speaking, "Hmm...it seems to be some kind of stepmother..."

Sasuke Uchiha's face instantly turned ashen, and Naruto's eyes widened. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock of a colossal secret in each other's eyes. Sasuke's mind buzzed, only one thought running through his mind: This stepmother absolutely cannot be Hinata! Meanwhile, inside the secret experimental base of Konoha Root, the damp, cold air was filled with the faint hum of chakra instruments. Orochimaru, his long, pale hair flowing freely, stared at the intricate dragon vein monitoring equipment before him with his snake-like eyes. A strange chuckle lingered in his hoarse voice as he slowly turned to look at Uchiha Yao behind him: "Heh heh, Yao-kun, an abnormal energy fluctuation has been detected in the dragon vein. According to the data, it should be within the next few days. The time flow in the two timelines is completely different. They can travel here in an instant, but here, we have to wait several days..."

Uchiha Yao stood in front of the instrument with his hands behind his back, looking at the energy curves jumping on the screen. A knowing smile flashed in his deep eyes: "So it's finally here. No wonder the bait I laid only took effect now. It was a problem with the flow of time."
