Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Loulan.

Dragon vein development area.

Naruto and Yamato looked around again, even more bewildered.

Today, the Dragon Vein is regarded as an important strategic resource in Konoha, much like an "oil field," and many "Sealing Towers" have been set up in the vast area of ​​Loulan for extraction.

The staggered "Sealing Towers" slowly moved up and down, shimmering with light, gently drawing upon the gifts of nature from the earth and storing them through multiple steps.

Dragon Vein Chakra possesses the characteristics of high density, high energy, and high conductivity. When combined with the Paradise Box as a carrier, it becomes the core of Konoha's current promotion of informatization.

"This must be the future, right?"

"These ninja tools and facilities are so advanced!"

Naruto stroked his chin, frowning as he tried to recall his limited knowledge: "I don't think I've ever seen this in our village or any other village..." "Captain Yamato, you know so much, have you seen it before?"

"Never seen it before..." Yamato cautiously approached, observed for a while, and then slowly said:

"This contains a very sophisticated sealing technique..."

"Only the strongest members of the Uzumaki clan, as recorded in the ancient texts, possess such talent. The village no longer has that..." Naruto's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand: "I'm also from the Uzumaki clan!"

"Naruto, there's an old saying in the ninja world: even the son of the Sage of Six Paths can be an idiot..."

Yamato coughed lightly: "Do you know what I mean?"

Naruto, his face dark, said, "Captain Yamato, if you have something to say, just say it..."

"And to reach this scale... I can't even imagine how powerful Loulan's sealing techniques are... What exactly happened in the ninja world? Did Loulan unify the ninja world...?"

Yamato's expression was solemn.

Both he and Naruto now subconsciously believe that they have traveled to the distant future.

Instead of the previous timeline.

Naruto, having just experienced the pain of Jiraiya's death, is planning to train in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku, but is unexpectedly sent on a mission due to the unusual activity of the Dragon Vein.

It is worth mentioning that.

If nothing changes, then of the four-person team of Yamato, Naruto, Sai, and Sakura, only Yamato and Naruto should have traveled through time.

Although parallel universes are infinite, there is also the concept of "compatibility".

For example, the timeline where Naruto from the alternate timeline exists is a "brother timeline" that can be well connected with the original timeline.

Due to the changes brought about by the old master Hiruzen, Konoha's development of the Dragon Vein has had a certain impact on the Dragon Vein of the alternate dimension, making it relatively active.

Therefore, the Konoha of this alternate dimension took this matter very seriously, not only dispatching the Yamato Squad but also the Guy Squad, bringing all eight of them together...

However, after this time travel, the people were scattered.

"Where are Sakura and Sai?"

The alternate-dimensional Yamato was suddenly startled; he had been somewhat absorbed in the changes in Loulan: "And what about Senior Kai's team!"

"Oh no, could it be that Loulan's technology was made by Centipede?"

"Did he really unify the ninja world using the Dragon Vein?"

The alternate dimension Naruto held his head in his hands and said in disbelief.

"Stand still and do not touch the 'Dragon Vein Extraction Pump'!"

"Visitors from another dimension, please abide by the rules of Konoha, or you will be considered to be provoking us!" A voice, seemingly coming from nowhere, rang out above Yamato and Naruto in the other dimension.

The two men looked up and discovered that it was a small, disc-shaped flying puppet, flashing a warning red light.

After acquiring the puppet technology from the Loulan region and Sunagakure, and possessing various energy sources such as the Box of Bliss, the Zero-Tails, and the Dragon Vein, Orochimaru and Hiruko quickly internalized it as Konoha's technology.

Now, many members of the Yamanaka, Kurama, and a small number of Uchiha clans possess a skill called "Unmanned Puppet Technique," which uses genjutsu and Yin-attribute chakra for long-range operation...

This change has made Sasori, who is far away in Sunagakure, extremely envious. In recent days, he has been trying to visit Konoha and promote further cooperation between Sunagakure and Konoha.

Yamato and Naruto obediently raised their hands, indicating that they had no intention of resisting.

Upon closer inspection, a large, dark mass of flying disc-shaped golems could be seen in the distance, seemingly activated by their arrival and searching for something...

A moment later.

Sai and Sakura also arrived.

A short while later, Might Guy's team, led by the flying disc puppet, arrived from afar and joined up with Naruto and Yamato from the alternate dimension. "Speaking of Captain Yamato..."

"You heard that just now, right? That flying ninja tool said 'Konoha's rules...'" Naruto belatedly realized what was happening and said in shock:

"So this isn't Loulan? It's Konoha!"

"You still need to practice your intelligence gathering skills more. I wonder how Kakashi-senpai taught you."

But that being said, the shock on Yamato's face in the alternate dimension was no less than that on Naruto's.

Because in his timeline, ever since Orochimaru launched the "Konoha Destruction Plan," the village had suffered a severe blow.

While some ninjas believe this was Orochimaru's "shock therapy" against Konoha, the excessive blood loss was undeniable... especially considering Jiraiya, one of the "Legendary Sannin," who recently died in the mysterious Amegakure, a heavy blow to the Konoha of this alternate dimension. As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, while possessing decent abilities in various areas, doesn't seem to be an all-around Hokage capable of single-handedly turning the tide...

Therefore, the better Konoha developed in this timeline, the more anticipation Yamato felt, and a subconscious thought arose deep within him: "Could we learn something from their advanced experience?"

"Senior Kai, have you spotted any traces of the centipede?" Yamato asked in a deep voice, suppressing his wild thoughts.

This was, after all, their mission...

The Sand Village's rogue ninja, Hyakko, attempted to seize the power and authority of the dragon vein of Loulan in order to overthrow the ninja world.

"He's already dead."

The alternate dimension Neji spoke solemnly:

"Centipede appeared not far from us, and despite warnings from the flying golems, he still tried to absorb the dragon vein chakra from these jars..."

"He was struck through the head by a bolt of lightning from an extremely distant location and died! Even Teacher Kai didn't have time to react..."

"Therefore, we are now within their attack range. We must not make any rash moves. Once we are locked on, given their overwhelming power, we will have no chance of escape on this plain..."

When Neji from the alternate dimension witnessed this scene, he recalled a battle in which he was on the verge of death.

When pursuing Kidomaru, one of the "Sound Four," the opponent, after entering the Cursed Seal 2 form, used his "long-range archery sniping" ability as a spider-man...

This put the alternate-dimensional Neji in a tough fight. If he hadn't found an opportunity to close the distance with Gentle Fist at the last moment, this genius of the Hyuga branch family would have been finished...

The Storm Release crossbow bolts that Neji saw in the alternate dimension were far more terrifying than Kidomaru's!

In terms of speed, power, and range, it far surpasses its opponent.

Because the "bow and arrow" of the Sun's owl is not of the so-called spider bloodline.

Instead, it combines Hiruzen Sarutobi's meticulously crafted Storm Release form transformations, an enhanced cursed seal, and the results of Hashirama's cells.

It's worth mentioning that Hizashi is still the first ninja in the Hyuga clan to have the Shikotsumyaku transplanted. He remains the "First Generation" ninja, daring to fight and charge forward, but also enjoys the full resources under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command.

There's no need to elaborate on the relationship between Hizashi and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"That must be Storm Release? Or some kind of extremely terrifying Lightning Release..."

Neji's Byakugan in the alternate dimension was filled with seriousness:

"The other party even claims to be from Konoha. Who is he? This must be the future. I've read the village's history, and there haven't been any ninjas like this in the last few decades." Sakura nodded slowly beside her.

Both she and Neji were top students; they had both read a lot of books…

"The future Konoha?"

At this moment, even Kai from the alternate dimension was somewhat dazed.

What will the future be like?

A moment later.

Danzo, dressed in black casual clothes and with a smile on his face, flew down from the sky in Wind Release Chakra Mode, accompanied by Hizashi with a cold expression, and slowly landed in front of them.

When these two Konoha ninjas appeared before them…

The group from the alternate dimension were stunned for a moment, and even felt a trace of fear.

wrong!

This is hardly the future!

Hizashi might not be well-known among Naruto's generation of ninjas, because after all, he was used as a bargaining chip in peace talks when Neji was very young, and his body was sent to Kumogakure...

However, Danzo's infamous name was known even to a fool like Naruto.

But the problem is...

This Danzo can not only fly, but what does that smiling face mean?

The Darkness of Ninja is actually laughing!

It still gives off a subconsciously sunny vibe...

That's terrifying!

Meanwhile, the alternate-dimensional Neji stared intently at Hizashi with his Byakugan eyes…

This is his father!

His Byakugan also detected the immense chakra within Hizashi's body, and even discovered a lingering trace of Storm Release...

Neji from the alternate dimension was shocked.

It's not surprising that his father was still alive in the past.

But were those Storm Release crossbow bolts, which were many times more powerful than Kidomaru's, actually released by his father?

No, what about the Hyuga clan's ancestral precepts?

I promised to practice Gentle Fist for the rest of my life!

What shocked Neji from the alternate dimension even more was that, because Hizashi worked for Root and was currently the vice-commander of the Anbu, he didn't usually wear a headband. Neji from the alternate dimension saw that Hizashi's forehead didn't have that strange green Caged Bird Seal…

It is very smooth.

There's only a small, round green dot between its eyebrows, which looks quite nice!

Hizashi noticed Neji's gaze from the alternate dimension.

When Hiyori and the alternate Neji's eyes met, they were slightly surprised.

Although Neji is already a teenager, you can still tell at a glance that he is his son…

Danzo noticed too and laughed, "You're Neji, right? You've grown so much! I even held you when you were little."

Although Neji from another dimension also follows the cool and aloof persona.

However, after being bombarded with these attacks, his expression became somewhat similar to that of the Naruto from another dimension; he seemed to have entered a state of utter lapse. His father didn't possess the Caged Bird Jutsu, knew powerful Storm Release, and had extremely high chakra…

In this timeline, was he even hugged by Ninja An when he was a child?

"Is my other self part of the Root?" Neji from the alternate dimension asked subconsciously.

"So you...you don't have the mark of a caged bird?"

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

A genius boy who gets targeted by Danzo is basically destined to join Root.

Neji from the alternate timeline misunderstood.

He thought that Hizashi had sacrificed his son, which was why he was no longer in the Caged Bird Seal under Danzo's protection and had gained such a great power... It's not that Neji was psychologically dark, but rather that this was the environment he had grown up in.

The pressure is too great.

The existence of the caged bird and the unchangeable nature of Gentle Fist have become almost an imprint of thought on Neji from another dimension.

But Hizashi and Danzo were both very astute, and they immediately saw through Neji's intentions from the alternate dimension.

The two looked at each other, both somewhat stunned.

Even though he was another Hizashi's child, and although he had known for a long time that there would probably be differences, how could he have such thoughts of not having the Will of Fire? In the past six months, while the semi-retired Danzo was studying "Secret Techniques: Natural Energy and Coexistence with Heaven and Earth", he gradually had more and more exchanges with Hizashi, and the two became both teacher and friend.

As the Second Hokage, the founder of Konoha's intelligence system, Danzo's mantle needed a successor.

Qingshui doesn't count.

Because Danzo felt he had nothing to teach him, and was even being taught the opposite of what he was taught every day…

Therefore, when Hiruzen Sarutobi promoted Orochimaru to the position of assistant and established his status as "crown prince," Danzo also chose Hizashi as his successor and imparted all his intelligence skills to him.

Inheritance is the main theme of Konoha today.

Hizashi and the alternate Neji exchanged glances with their Byakugan, their expressions becoming more serious.

Such thinking is extremely disrespectful to the Will of Fire!

However, although Konoha in this timeline and other timelines have certain connections, they are ultimately two separate entities, so there is no need to make a big deal out of it.

"Are you curious about the mark on my caged bird?"

"Under the guidance of the Hokage, the Caged Bird Seal that had plagued the Hyuga clan for a thousand years no longer exists and has been improved into the 'Byakugan Seal'."

Hikaru tapped the round green dot between his eyebrows and explained, "The Hyuga clan no longer distinguishes between the main family and the branch family; everyone must be marked with this guardian seal."

"The only function of this mark is to protect the Byakugan from being stolen by others. It has no effect on eyesight and cannot be triggered by others." "When you get old and retire from the ninja combat ranks, if you want to leave your eyes to your descendants, you can apply to the current clan leader to have it removed."

Neji from the other world stared wide-eyed upon hearing this.

Is he dreaming?

No, he wouldn't be that bold, even in his dreams...

"Hiruzen always has this kind of talent..."

Danzo also remarked with emotion:

"Even Lord Mito couldn't completely break the cursed seal, yet he actually improved it. This guy truly lives up to his reputation as my lifelong brother and rival..."

Hijiri's lips twitched, but he didn't expose Danzo in front of outsiders.

Since stepping down as his aide, Danzo's personality has changed drastically. He no longer has the stern face he once did, but has become more cheerful and smiling.

He also frequently jokes about Hiruzen Sarutobi, like an ordinary, nostalgic old man reminiscing about his youth with the Hokage. This can be seen as him subtly boosting his own ego.

But it feels more like a preview of what's to come...

However, this credit cannot be entirely attributed to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

For the past six months, Kaguya has still been dreaming of "her rampage across the other dimension in the Infinite Tsukuyomi," and pondering how she could use the presence of visitors from another dimension to increase her influence...

However, through their interactions with Hiruzen Sarutobi, the two were able to chat frequently without worrying too much about "whoever speaks first loses the initiative."

We can be considered ordinary friends.

During a casual conversation, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked about the Caged Bird Seal. Although Kaguya didn't understand it, she still managed to explain several of the Naruto's perplexing questions based on her rank...

Thus, the caged bird was successfully improved.

"Isn't this a dream?" Neji from the alternate dimension murmured to himself.

At that moment, he really wanted to pinch his own face to see if it hurt...

Meanwhile, Sai from Root stared intently at Danzo, who was dressed casually and had a slightly sunny disposition, with a gaze similar to that of Neji from another dimension.

Does the Dark Ninja have this form?

Danzo's constant smile only made Sai, who had already experienced the terror of the Dark Ninja, even more afraid.

A smiling tiger is often more frightening than a simple, vicious tiger…

"As for what you said about adding it to the root..."

Danzo said with a smile:

"Even though Neji is Hizashi's son, the threshold for joining Root is getting higher and higher. I don't know if Neji will be able to do it in the future." "The Root of the Azure Sky Guardians cannot have any imposters. Backdoor entry is strictly prohibited."

Danzo looked at Sai, who had been staring at him, and smiled warmly: "Young man, you're quite similar to Ida, who used to work for me. Although you've concealed your aura very well..."

"But it still wasn't completely concealed. You were once a member of Root, weren't you?"

Sai was taken aback, and respectfully lowered his head:

"You're right, I'm a member of Root, and Ida is my father..."

Danzo blinked: "That matches up then. But it seems that Ida doesn't have any children, which is a pity. However, it's a good opportunity to urge him to go on blind dates." Sai listened with a numbness.

Where did this charitable donation come from?

How terrifying…

But I also felt quite close to her...

"You're probably from another time and space, aren't you?"

"Don't be too shocked. It's normal for this place to be different from your timeline. The same seed will produce different fruits in different environments," Danzo said with a chuckle, but his eyes were constantly scanning Naruto and his group from the other timeline, making a quick assessment in his mind.

"What brings you here? Is there anything we can do to help you...?"

"We hope you won't rush back and forth. Some of your ninjutsu and information might be helpful to us, and we can also provide you with support. This way, we can achieve a win-win situation."

"After all, we are all Konoha ninjas. Even though we belong to different timelines, we all grew up under the illumination of the Will of Fire. We can be considered as our own people..."

Danzo uttered pleasantries, his gaze sweeping over the Konoha headbands of Naruto and his group from the alternate dimension, awaiting their reaction. However, the Dark Ninja had already entered battle mode.

If anything goes wrong, he and Hizashi will immediately take action and subdue the other party by force...

Sai Root's signature poker face broke down after Danzo's words.

No, Lord Danzo, why are you proficient in the Will of Fire?

They even went so far as to talk about things like "mutual benefit and win-win", "will of fire", and "unity"?

What is all this?!

Shouldn't it be "Only I, Shimura Danzo, can change the ninja world"?

You've changed!

After some thought, Yamato from the other timeline first looked at his senior Guy, then stepped forward and took on the task of introducing them: "Hello, Lord Danzo, we come from Konoha in another timeline."

"It has been over sixty years since the First Hokage founded the village. The current Hokage is Lady Tsunade. Our mission here is to hunt down the rogue Sunagakure ninja, Hyakuza, and stop him from using the Dragon Veins to overthrow the ninja world..."

Yamato hesitated, then looked at Hizashi: "You just killed him..."

Danzo and Hizashi both frowned simultaneously.

Centipede...

It's still a sand village...

Which organization does this belong to?

I've never heard of that!

How come just a few random people like them dare to boast about overthrowing the ninja world?

What Danzo and Hizashi didn't know was that there were actually many such figures, such as the demons of the Land of Demons, the Paradise Box of Kusagakure, and the Centipede of Sunagakure...

However, in their ninja world, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Will of Fire fist was too powerful, so even the most arrogant among them mostly kept a low profile. The fist of the Will of Fire really hurt!

This is one of the consensuses in the ninja world.

"My name is Yamato. I am a Jonin of Konoha and was formerly a member of Root."

Yamato cleared his throat and introduced them one by one:

"This is Might Guy, Lee, and Tenten; this is Neji, Naruto, Sai, and Sakura..."

"They are..."

After Yamato finished his introduction, Danzo and Hizashi nodded slowly.

good…

Most of them match!

"Wait a minute, let me make a call and ask..." Danzo pondered, then took out the ninja tool named by Hiruzen Sarutobi, which was called "cell phone".

This is an important product of Konoha's informatization and its influence throughout the entire ninja world. It was invented by Orochimaru, Tobirama, Tomie, Hiruko, and other key members of the research department over the past six months.

The basic technology was already in place; there were just some points that needed to be overcome. Tomie's kaleidoscope flashed, and everyone easily landed by taking charge of one section.

Yamato and the others looked on in confusion, but dared not ask any questions.

"Hey, it's Danzo..."

"Scorpion, do you have a ninja called Centipede over there?"

"It's nothing. A few guests from the Loulan region have come to visit and are interested in him..."

Danzo chuckled and said, "If it's convenient, send me his file to take a look."

"Okay, we'll call on you next time Konoha develops puppetry techniques. That's all for now."

Danzo hung up the phone.

In Konoha today, almost every ninja owns a "cell phone," and a compatible software similar to the "Internet" is being further developed.

The "Konoha Ninja Forum" already exists.

Among the ninjas from other villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi sent a copy to all the Kage and leaders, and many Jonin and Chunin from other villages were also very interested in it.

Even though the Tsuchikage and Raikage nominally advocate against purchasing it.

Because "cell phones" require chakra binding and a series of real-name registration procedures, it will inevitably lead to the leakage of information and allow Konoha's life and the Will of Fire to quickly infiltrate every corner of the ninja world...

But it still couldn't be stopped.

Although Madara Uchiha left Iwagakure and Kumogakure to their own devices, the mysterious "Crimson Organization" and the former Kage of each village had all made their presence felt. Most of the ninja in Iwagakure and Kumogakure already believed that Konoha had effectively gained control of their respective areas.

There is still some rebellious thought, but it is not resolute.

"Here he is. Sasori's efficiency is still quite good; as expected of the Fourth Kazekage."

Danzo's phone beeped.

"Let me see..."

"A Jonin and puppeteer from Sunagakure, currently in charge of the puppet automation project, a collaboration between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. He has performed well and has no criminal record..."

"During the Third Shinobi World War, he also resolutely joined the camp that avoided war."

Danzo looked at his phone and spoke slowly.

Hizashi nodded slightly: "That's fine, let's just pretend this never happened..."

Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges.

This was something Hiruzen Sarutobi had emphasized beforehand, based on the differences between visitors from other dimensions.

Don't hold unfair views of the ninjas in this timeline just because an isomer from another timeline took a different path.

this is not fair.

In another timeline, the centipede is an ambitious figure who betrayed Sunagakure and sought to devour the Dragon Vein.

In this timeline, however, because he was a puppeteer, he belonged to Sasori and Pakura's faction during the Third Shinobi World War and did not directly engage in battle with Konoha.

Therefore, after the Third Kazekage was put on trial, he was highly valued by Sasori due to his talent, and currently enjoys a good reputation in both Sunagakure and Konoha, being a top-tier technical expert…

He also married a woman from the Land of Rain and had a son and a daughter.

He is a typical good family member of Sunagakure, and under Sasori's command, he is dedicated to the process of deepening cooperation between Sunagakure and Konoha.

"So convenient!"

"That's amazing..." Naruto exclaimed, staring longingly at the phone in Danzo's hand.

This looks like it would be a lot of fun, right?

Danzo was taken aback.

With Yamato's introduction, he already knew the identities of Naruto and his group from the alternate dimension. Although Naruto's headband somewhat obscured his good looks, it was obvious at a glance whose son he was...

"This Naruto seems a bit silly..."

"It seems like I'm lacking in some education. What's the deal with the Watergate in that other timeline?"

Danzo pondered to himself.

"Fortunately, this is a ninja tool developed by Orochimaru. It is indeed convenient, but it still has a significant impact on ninjas and is difficult to control..."

Danzo said earnestly:

"There are forces outside Konoha that will disguise themselves as a rabble and make noise..."

Naruto blinked: "Uh... what does 'United Nations' mean?"

Danzo looked at Naruto speechlessly: "Kid, are your grades at the Ninja Academy not very good?"

Naruto lowered his head in shame: "I almost didn't graduate..."

Danzo almost laughed in anger, but he still patiently explained it to Naruto.

Like Obito in the original timeline, he helped Naruto learn some formal terminology.

The ninja forum strictly adheres to real-name registration, as does the network access permission for mobile phones.

If any Konoha ninja, or even a ninja from another village who enters the forum, says anything detrimental to Konoha, we can accurately trace the source. The Anbu and Root will be at your doorstep immediately!

Even so, some Konoha ninjas still manage to pull off some truly laughable antics...

such as.

"From being a hot topic to a sharp critic, he's become a Kage in the ninja world!"

"To be fair, could the Third Hokage be considered the GOAT of the ninja world?"

How would you evaluate the career of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju?

"Just a casual observer, but I feel the Sharingan is inferior to the Byakugan. Does anyone else agree?"

"Would Konoha be better off if Madara Uchiha became Hokage?"

The posts here, such as those praising Hiruzen Sarutobi, are filled with heartwarming anecdotes about Naruto, presented in a logical and convincing manner.

Hyuga, Uchiha, Ino-Shika-Cho, Kirigakure, Amegakure, the villagers…

Too much is too much.

However, when other village kage are mentioned, or even a certain second Hokage, the comments in the post become controversial, and it's common for the arguments to go on for thousands of replies...

Some even went so far as to say they were getting desperate and were prepared to meet in person to talk things over...

Furthermore, even in discussions about Hiruzen Sarutobi, some argue that since Hashirama was practically dead, calling the Hokage the GOAT is inappropriate; he could be considered the vice-Hokage…

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself couldn't hold back his laughter.

Is it intentional, or is there a distinction between positive and negative?

Therefore, the ninja forum is currently closed for rectification and security upgrades.

Because it was discovered that the origins of several accounts were unclear, just as Danzo said, they were being manipulated by forces outside Konoha.

As for who it was, a certain "Ninja World Asura" who was frantically replying to the post criticizing Tobirama stated that it had nothing to do with him; he simply wanted to post something...

"Hiruzen's ideas are always ahead of the curve in the ninja world..."

"With this forum, we'll also be launching censored personal channels, which will benefit Konoha's overall ninjutsu development and education." "However, corresponding oversight and censorship must keep pace, and security is of paramount importance..."

Danzo's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Hizashi, now that we've come to that point, your thinking needs to keep up with the times. You need to understand the power of public opinion, learn to guide Konoha, and establish a matrix-style propaganda system. Do you understand?"

The sir nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

At this moment, Naruto and Yamato from the alternate dimension were stunned.

It wasn't because of Danzo's change of heart...

Rather, it was in the details of the conversation that Naruto and the others in the alternate dimension sensed the differences between Konoha under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule and their own village... It wasn't just the advanced ninja tools and individual strength, but what surprised them most was the atmosphere.

It's open and inclusive, yet there's strong oversight overall. From the flying disc ninja tools to the various arrangements for the ninja forum... it gives off a sense of "institutionalized formality" that Naruto and his friends from the alternate dimension have never experienced before.

It has a sophisticated set of procedures and operational logic.

Compared to their own Konoha, the alternate dimension Naruto and his group couldn't help but feel that this was perhaps what Konoha should truly be like...

"By the way, was this ninja tool also developed by the Hokage?"

"Naruto from another dimension asked cautiously, his eyes shining."

"No, that wasn't it. It was Orochimaru and the ninjas from the research department who did it..."

Danzo waved his hand: "However, the idea and framework were guided by Hiruzen, so you could say they complemented each other."

Sai stared at Danzo.

no…

How come you're not even greedy for credit anymore!

A whole set of short phrases…

Sai, a Root ninja, couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity, wanting to know what Danzo in this timeline had done and experienced...

You should know that Danzo over there was still dreaming of becoming the Sixth Hokage!

Orochimaru…

Upon hearing Orochimaru's name, Naruto from the alternate dimension reacted as if he had been stressed, his expression turning grim and wary.

Because this man stole his Sasuke!

They also committed unforgivable and heinous crimes…

Danzo and Hizashi were both a little amused.

In their eyes, the Naruto from the other timeline was indeed an unqualified ninja academy graduate, his emotions too easily displayed...

Their sense of secrecy and shrewdness are inferior to those of the Konoha genin.

"Why is he making that face? What did Orochimaru do...?"

Danzo coughed lightly and asked with interest.

Could it be that he didn't become Hokage in the end?

That's unlikely...

The worst-case scenario Danzo could imagine was that Orochimaru's style was similar to what it was ten years ago, and he didn't govern the village according to the Will of Fire. "This…" The alternate dimension's Yamato looked at Naruto and said in a deep voice, "Naruto! Their situation is different from ours, don't speak carelessly!" The alternate dimension's Naruto then realized his mistake, lowered his head, and repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry…"

Danzo and Hizashi, however, were more interested.

Not only did the alternate dimension Naruto and Yamato have such expressions, but the other Konoha ninjas, including Might Guy, all wore heavy expressions.

What an incredible feat that must have been!

"Relax, relax..."

"As I just said, Hiruzen specifically instructed the entire Hidden Leaf Village, repeatedly explaining that parallel universes would have significant differences, but this is the result of multiple factors working together."

"Even if a ninja does something wrong, it's not just his problem. We are us, and you are you, so there won't be any impact..." However, this is a lie.

There certainly won't be any major impact, because every Konoha ninja grows up in the village, and the Will of Fire and the villagers will have their own judgment on whether it's good or bad.

However, if you do something too abstract, it's inevitable that people will bring it up and make fun of it from time to time...

Who wouldn't want to hear their friends' funny stories? Especially the kind that don't cause any real harm...

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of Naruto and his group from the alternate dimension, Danzo and Hizashi could already guess that things in their Konoha were probably not going so well…

An overwhelming sense of superiority welled up from my chest.

We're both from Konoha, so why is it that we're better in every way?

Did they fail to diligently uphold the Will of Fire?!

"Go ahead and talk, everything is negotiable, there's nothing we can't discuss..."

Danzo looked directly at Naruto and said something that made Sai's expression twist: "Please believe in our Will of Fire. We will correct our mistakes if we have any, and strive to do better if we don't."

"Knowing about your situation will help us do better. If you need anything, since we are all Konoha ninja, we will do our best to help."

Hijiri listened with a chuckle, inwardly thinking:

"Things have really changed since Danzo stepped down as his advisor... He didn't really listen to the Hokage's teachings when he was in power."

"On the contrary, I've learned a part of it now, and I'm starting to resemble the Hokage a little..."

It's not just about being able to apply Hiruzen Sarutobi's words in a practical way.

Danzo also realized that the contrast between his past reputation and his smile made it easier for him to do many things.

For example, by apologizing, some invisible cracks between the Leaf Village members can be mended.

Danzo's apology was of high quality.

Words are valuable, yet also worthless.

Because it doesn't require any real resources, yet it has the magic of making people feel at ease.

Many people have changed their opinion of Danzo. This former Hokage's assistant not only always has a smile on his face now, but he was even once seen running with Might Guy while wearing a green bodysuit...

Some veteran ninjas even thought that Danzo might be seriously ill, the kind of illness that even the Konoha Research Department couldn't cure, because it really gave them the feeling that "a dying man's words are kind"...

"Then I'll say it..." Naruto from the alternate dimension looked at Yamato.

Yamato nodded with a helpless expression.

However, he was also curious about what Orochimaru would be like in someone else's timeline...

Orochimaru has become a rogue ninja!

"He established a hidden village, not only kidnapped my friend Sasuke, but also infiltrated the Sand Village, and plotted to destroy Konoha during the Chunin Exams..."

"He killed three generations of his grandfathers!"

"Naruto from another dimension!" he shouted, his eyes filled with anger.

The other Konoha ninjas lowered their heads slightly.

When Naruto from the alternate dimension said this, Danzo and Hizashi were both stunned.

Logically, given their relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi, they should have been furious to hear of the Hokage's death, but because Naruto's words were so outrageous...

The two of them actually felt like laughing...

If this were true, I can't even imagine how interesting Orochimaru's expression would be!

Especially the part about killing Hiruzen…

Danzo and Hizashi both saw the other's confused expression.

This isn't praise for Hiruzen...

Orochimaru, who has only mastered Sage Mode, a small portion of chakra bloodline limit, and knows a little about sealing techniques, still devotes most of his energy to scientific research...

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi stood still and let Orochimaru deal damage, using all sorts of methods, could he really inflict effective damage?

Don't make the Hokage laugh!

Before the ninja forum was maintained, questions like "Is the Hokage's strength and resilience stronger than a fully-formed Tailed Beast? Could he withstand a Tailed Beast Ball?" and "Will the Hokage one day reach the Sage Mode?" were common.

Similar posts appear every three to five days, let alone once a month, to artificially inflate one's online ranking...

"Great! Interesting, very interesting..."

Danzo's smile deepened: "Everyone, come with me to see Hiruzen! We'll talk about the events of the two timelines and settle things!"

"There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to each side. Don't rush to leave now that you're here. Your mission is now complete."

Yamato from another dimension swallowed hard and nodded.

He really wanted to say…

Lord Danzo, don't laugh too soon!

If it were the Hokage, who seems to have made Konoha a better place, in front of him, he would dare to say anything, and we could talk about anything... You even instructed me to assassinate the Third Hokage...

And those who are not clean are clearly not just Orochimaru and Danzo.

The impact of this reconciliation goes far beyond that.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ninja world.

Another reconciliation seems to be about to begin.

Madara Uchiha first glanced at the still-closed ninja forum and shook his head.

As a lonely old man, the advent of cell phones and the Ninja Network made Madara much more cheerful. The feeling of speaking freely online while wearing a mask was wonderful...

Don't worry about the status of the ninja world's Shura, just keep firing at Tobirama Senju!

When Ichizawa arrived at Tobirama Senju's place, Madara Uchiha's inspiration flowed freely.

The Uchiha clan leader, Kihai, was a cultured man, but he was prone to extremes, so in terms of problem-solving, he was sometimes inferior to ordinary ninjas…

If you take the wrong path, the further you stray from your true goal, the further you will go.

"It's time to revive Izuna..."

"Following my guidance, Qiu Shui successfully unsealed the Box of Bliss. When he went to the outer area last time, Ah Huo mentioned that the reaction of Izuna's chakra within him was getting weaker and weaker..."

"He hasn't appeared for two months."

Madara Uchiha walked up to the Gedo Mazo. Inside the lotus flower held by this monster was the new body that he had nurtured for Izuna and Rin for a long time.

Madara Uchiha believed that he had transferred a portion of the Gedo Mazo's power, along with his own power of all things, to Izuna through the Gedo Mazo. But in reality, this was merely a transfer of power...

Yishi naturally couldn't object, because he was afraid of being exposed...

Madara Uchiha naturally used it generously, and even felt that he had indeed recovered his original form, and after giving away a portion, he recovered even more quickly...

Madara's actions, driven by his love for Izuna, objectively delayed Isshiki's erosion of him.

"Rise again..."

"My Izuna!"

Madara Uchiha clasped his hands together, using the life force of White Zetsu as a vessel to call upon Izuna's soul, causing white smoke to rise from Izuna's body. But he didn't expect...

Before Izuna even opened his eyes, he roared from within the lotus flower:

"Senju Tobirama!"

"How dare you face me! You even dare to defile me!"
