Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Leaf.

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed the changes within his body and clenched his fist slightly.

Since using the "All-Killing Ash Bones Youth Edition" to train his body these days, the Hokage has visibly noticed that his body seems to have undergone some kind of qualitative change.

"Have I finally gotten on the fast track to personal development?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered to himself.

After effectively controlling the Hidden Mist and Hidden Rain regions, and securing victory in the Third Shinobi World War with overwhelming superiority, the culture and institutions of the Land of Fire and Konoha exerted a powerful influence on Iwagakure and Kumogakure...

The launch of "Ninja Network" and "Ninja World Forum" broke down the previous information barriers, making it something that Onoki and the Third Raikage could no longer try to cover up.

Furthermore, the majority of the ninja world firmly believed that Tobirama Senju was the leader of the Crimson Organization, leading to the strange consensus that "Konoha has actually unified the ninja world, but the master and disciple are just having a falling out..."

This allowed the Land of Fire and Konoha to spread their influence to the rest of the ninja world with remarkable ease, almost without any hindrance. Madara Uchiha, the Sengoku ninja, was too lazy to care about anything other than fighting.

The Crimson Organization appears to have taken over Kumogakure and Iwagakure...

Actually?

As follows.

This led to the system that Hiruzen Sarutobi equipped for Konoha finally being able to operate smoothly on its own, find its own growth potential, and in turn continuously expand the upper limit of his talent.

"Perhaps there are also things from other dimensions..."

"I wonder if Tobirama-sensei is doing well over there? It should be alright..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was certain that the changes in Konoha in the alternate dimension also had a certain effect on him.

Because the situation in the ninja world he lived in was relatively stable, his talent should theoretically be a straight line with little change in slope... but occasionally it would suddenly surge.

Therefore, the variable must come from a different time and space.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi now needs to thank one person in particular…

That's Kaguya!

Hiruzen Sarutobi has a wealth of talent waiting to be realized, but if he relies solely on his own training to digest it, his progress will be very slow; it will take time to gradually wear it down…

It's even possible that the speed of redemption won't keep up with the speed of accumulation...

Although this is a happy problem, Hiruzen Sarutobi knows that in this ninja world where behind-the-scenes manipulators and deus ex machina are rampant, only immediate combat power is the only gold standard.

Talent that isn't realized is worthless.

But Kaguya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, one daring to dream and the other daring to act, used the "Shared Kill Ash Bones" body-forging mode in the most Sengoku-style manner, causing their accumulated talents to be consumed frantically...

In the context of the Otsutsuki clan, this could be considered a training method reminiscent of the Warring States period.

"Thank you so much, Kaguya."

Thinking this through, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke earnestly to Kaguya within his body without any hesitation: "Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate to my current level so quickly..."

"Not only did they use the 'All-Killing Ash Bones' to temper my body, meticulously adjusting its intensity each time, but they also helped me comb and weave the chakra threads within my body, seeking and realizing the possibility of advancement..."

"I will never forget this kindness. Half of my current fighting force was built by you, so please rest assured that I will definitely rescue you from the moon."

Kaguya, who was still pondering Hiruzen Sarutobi's physical strength, was stunned upon hearing these words, and her ears inexplicably turned red.

It's not that Kaguya is shy or anything, but rather that her lineage is all about not speaking and never expressing their feelings as directly as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone months without speaking to her two sons during a life-or-death struggle...

Kaguya blinked.

no…

What's going on here?

Why are you suddenly saying such things so seriously!

Doesn't the Hokage have any shame?

"I know!"

"You don't need to say all that!"

Kaguya's tone inexplicably sounded somewhat annoyed.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and didn't seem to care.

He can say whatever he wants, whether Kaguya listens or not...

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was on those days.

The Naruto has finally confirmed that this mysterious woman, the legendary sage, is not someone who plays hard to get or is full of hidden schemes. Her interpersonal skills are truly worrisome; she doesn't know how to communicate effectively…

But as the director of the Ninja World Mental Hospital, he'd seen far too many of these Hiruzen Sarutobi models...

Essentially a Sengoku period Uchiha.

To deal with this, you have to carefully and repeatedly express your gratitude and positive emotions towards her, telling her your good intentions over and over again, and you also need to explain frequently...

To prevent the other party from thinking for themselves and misinterpreting their meaning.

This is similar to how Hiruzen Sarutobi dealt with Madara Uchiha.

Simply saying that Konoha welcomes Uchiha Madara isn't enough; they need to set the tone, renovate his and Hashirama's statues in the most prominent Valley of the End, and add his deeds to the corridors of the Ninja Academy...

There can't be any detours, because going around in circles gives the other party room to think...

"What are you laughing at?"

Kaguya said angrily:

"Am I being funny? Why are you telling me this over and over again? Are you trying to lie to me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kaguya thoughtfully.

"Just as I thought..."

"Kaguya, who was betrayed by her family, sealed in the moon for a thousand years, and was also driven by anxiety and fear by the pursuit of the Otsutsuki clan, has a very serious psychological problem."

"Insecurity was so deeply ingrained in her that she couldn't even tolerate positive emotions."

"She needs to test those she works with repeatedly to seek temporary reassurance, but the frequency of this testing is tearing her team apart." "A classic case of late-stage anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Kaguya a diagnosis.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Kaguya's tone turned serious.

"You're not funny, but you have a beautiful smile..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said:

"Smile more! Why do you always have such a long face?"

Question marks kept popping up above Kaguya's head.

What is this guy saying?

"Kaguya, you have to learn to accept that things beyond your control can happen. Even if you are the Goddess of the Rabbit and I am the Hokage, all sorts of unexpected situations can still occur in this ninja world."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly to Kaguya:

"Why are you angry that I thank you? Because if negative emotions are controllable for you, then me being a bad person means you can just kill me."

"But the fact that I'm a good person means you're about to have a series of questions..."

"For example, why am I being nice to you? What is my purpose? Will I take back this kindness or betray you one day..." Kaguya frowned, but her ears perked up quietly.

"Absolute control means absolute resistance..."

"In reality, even as Hokage, I cannot control all Konoha ninjas. Everyone has the right to live freely and pursue their own ideals within reasonable limits."

"And that's why the Konoha ninjas you see are much stronger than the White Zetsu you can absolutely control, because they need to learn the dance of showcasing their talents to others..."

"Those in high positions should learn to create such dances for others and applaud them."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly:

"I know you have experienced betrayal and felt uneasy and anxious about being hunted down by your own clan. These are wounds that are hard to heal in your heart, and I respect that 100%."

"But you must also realize that you are not omniscient or omnipotent... Just as you worry about the pursuers from your own clan, can you control the reactions of the Otsutsuki clan?"

"Therefore, you need strong and capable companions, and you need to learn to trust..."

"I never feel out of control because you're inside me," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, changing the subject.

However, this is a lie.

The moment Kaguya entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, the Hokage became extremely alert.

I've only recently started to relax a little.

Kaguya couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

"real…"

"Because your interests are completely aligned with mine, and we get along very well," Hiruzen Sarutobi said without changing his expression.

"The sense of security I believe in is not about controlling everything, but about having someone I can trust, and the Konoha ninjas to face the unknown together, and then doing my best based on that."

Kaguya suddenly turned her head to the side.

She really didn't want to admit it...

But Kaguya sensed that Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have understood her psychology a tiny bit...

"Alright... let's not talk about this anymore!"

"I think you might be using some kind of illusion on me! I need to think about it some more!" Kaguya said, rolling her eyes, but her tone softened unconsciously.

"Me...me? I used illusion magic on you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly: "I'm not good at using genjutsu, really..."

Kaguya snorted coldly, seemingly agreeing with Hiruzen Sarutobi's assessment.

As is well known, the Hokage is skilled in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and sealing techniques, and uses genjutsu in very small proportions during battles.

If the Will of Fire isn't considered an illusion...

And at this moment.

A white figure slowly emerged from the wall of the Hokage's office.

It's Ah Huo!

Hiruzen Sarutobi composed himself and looked at Ho with interest.

According to Obito…

This White Zetsu was able to evade the combined malicious perception of Mito and Tobirama, making it the only White Zetsu capable of moving relatively freely within Konoha using the Python Summoning Technique…

He also enjoys watching his speeches and is very interested in the Will of Fire. He is a favorite of Madara Uchiha!

But according to Kaguya…

White Zetsu shouldn't possess such intelligence; they are either ancient beings corrupted by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, or corrupted artificial humans created using Hashirama's cells. At this moment, Ah-Huo, having discussed meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi with Izuna, tacitly kept it a secret from Madara Uchiha, and specially changed into appropriate attire…

It was the classic black and blue Uchiha clan uniform that Izuna found for him.

Otherwise, Haku is almost always naked. It would be one thing if he did that in the Mountain Graveyard and underground, but it would be quite disrespectful for the Hokage to do so. Ah-Huo cannot allow such a thing to happen.

"The Hokage seems to have gotten stronger? And a little younger..."

"His aura is in no way inferior to that of Lord Madara..."

When Ah-Huo saw Hiruzen Sarutobi up close for the first time, this thought inexplicably came to mind.

"Mr. Ah Huo? I've heard so much about you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up and waved to Ho with a big smile on his face.

Ah Huo was taken aback.

Is the Hokage really that enthusiastic about its arrival?

Ah Huo hurriedly ran to the Hokage's desk, but before he could say anything, the Hokage's warm and strong hand grasped his, shaking it slightly.

"Mr. Ah-Huo, I've heard Obito say that you've made extremely outstanding contributions to Konoha..."

"Over the years, you have worked hard to take care of Mr. Madara. This is what Konoha should have done, but due to various historical issues and reasons, I, as the Hokage, have not been able to do it properly."

"You've done me a huge favor!"

"Thank you so much! I've always wanted to meet you!"

Ah Huo's face showed an expression of extreme surprise. It tried to control itself, but could not suppress it.

It really didn't go so smoothly...

"Lord Hokage, please don't say that! This is all I should do. I have admired you, Konoha, and the Will of Fire for a very, very long time. I am the one who has always wanted to meet you..."

Ah Huo said very seriously.

"How can you call it 'it's what you should do'? In this ninja world, nothing is a given. Merit is merit, don't be so modest..." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and shook Ah-Hai's hand: "Please sit!"

"How's the green tea going? You must be tired from your long journey. Have some water to calm down..." Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the Hokage's large office chair and poured tea in the classic manner.

"Habit, habit!"

Ah Huo quickly took the teacup with both hands and carefully took a sip.

The tea was bitter…

But Ah Huo found it sweet!

Having served Lord Madara for so many years, Ah-Huo had only been forcefully stuffed with grilled meat by Madara twice, but such a direct expression of gratitude and respect from Sarutobi Hiruzen was unprecedented...

Madara definitely has feelings for Ah-Huo.

The problem is that Sengoku ninjas were not good at expressing their emotions and would subconsciously suppress them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, didn't have this problem...

Making friends is one of the essential skills a Hokage must learn, even more important than Spirit Release.

Spirit Release can nullify an enemy's ninjutsu, but making friends can turn an enemy into a friend.

Kaguya watched this scene, rolled her eyes dramatically, and chuckled.

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, still claim you can't use illusion magic?

This is exactly what we need!

Although Kaguya didn't sense any chakra fluctuations...

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit a cigarette and gestured to Ah-Huo.

Ah-Huo hesitated for a moment, then accepted the cigarette from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It really does...

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi repeatedly emphasized that smoking is not a good habit, and nowadays not many Konoha ninja smoke, Ah-Huo still imitates the Hokage's usual habit.

After all, he was in a vegetative state...

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then picked up a match and lit it for Ah-Huo. The two of them, one white Zetsu and one white Zetsu, puffed out smoke for a while.

"The latest Mulong brand cigarettes, produced in Konoha, have brought some tax revenue to the village."

"If you like, take some more with you when you leave..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled.

Ah Huo nodded hurriedly, "Thank you so much, Hokage-sama!"

"How is Mr. Madara doing lately? Obito should have relayed his information to you, right? Obito is currently on a mission in another dimension, and they're counting on you there. Thank you for your hard work..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke.

This refers to the story of Madara being possessed by Isshiki.

Ah Huo's expression became slightly serious.

This, after all, involves legendary immortals…

"Lord Madara's emotions are relatively stable, but his health is improving day by day, recovering to his peak condition at an unusual speed..."

"A large amount of chakra was extracted from the Gedo Mazo."

Kaguya raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "A despicable technique! All you do is steal my chakra!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Kaguya's interruption.

Is the body constantly recovering?

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then asked Kaguya:

Could this be seen as a sign that the "wedge" is accelerating its process?

Although she had just been ignored, Kaguya nodded: "You could think that way, but that ninja named Uchiha Madara is a bit special. He is the reincarnation of Indra, so he might have some ability to resist."

"I think Isshiki is trying to find a way to strike before the Otsutsuki reinforcements arrive! If the mission fails, the punishment for him will be severe..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded thoughtfully.

Thanks to Kaguya's information, the Hokage now knows that Indra and Ashura are likely being reincarnated repeatedly...

I also learned just how awkward the Sage of Six Paths and his family were...

None of them know how to communicate.

The problem lies at its very root!

Kaguya has been browsing the relationship forums a lot lately, racking her brains every day trying to come up with a post that would make everyone in the ninja world condemn the Sage of Six Paths... "You mentioned the Otsutsuki clan pursuers..."

"If Isshiki's combat performance is similar to yours, and he is usually a cold-blooded and cunning person who can judge the situation, then he should understand that he can't turn the tide alone."

"I maintain my opinion that it's highly likely that Shiki has asked for help."

"We need to prepare for the worst."

"A cosmic race that has existed for countless years should have a mature set of emergency response measures."

According to Kaguya, the Otsutsuki clan hasn't had a traitor for an unknown amount of time...

Therefore, she didn't know the strength of the pursuers...

Kaguya's intuition is that Momoshiki, Urashiki, and others are in the same order as her.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't think so...

If a Chunin from Konoha were to become a rogue ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't send a special Jonin to hunt him down; he would need to go up at least one level and have a veteran Jonin take action.

If a member or candidate of the Konoha committee doesn't have any missions, that would be a better choice.

We must be vigilant to prevent a situation where one person is sent to another...

Therefore, on the Otsutsuki side, Hiruzen Sarutobi's imagined enemy was no longer Isshiki or Kaguya, but a pursuer one or two levels higher...

This is why he risked using "All-Killing Ash Bones" to temper his body and then cultivated the Eight Gates of Death Gate; he couldn't place his hopes on the failure of the Otsutsuki clan's accountability system.

If the so-called Otsutsuki committee could be eliminated, then in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, the ninja world could enter a relatively peaceful period... because having demonstrated its value in uniting the people, sending troops to the ninja world would only result in more benefits than risks.

Kaguya listened quietly and nodded gently.

She gained a deeper understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi and what he had just said: "True security comes from having someone you trust to face the unknown with."

Hiruzen Sarutobi is always so cautious!

But Kaguya quite liked this caution, as it greatly alleviated her anxiety and unease…

"I understand, Ah Huo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly, "As for Madara's situation, you can just come and tell me directly from now on. We can connect privately." "You can send me a private message from the Ninja World Forum, and I'll set your message as a notification."

Hiruzen Sarutobi signaled to Ho to tell him his ID...

Ah Huo was taken aback, then somewhat embarrassedly took out his phone. "This is my account..."

Ah Huo's ID: A ninja academy student who wants to be a member of the Konoha committee.

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily.

Compared to the countless spam IDs Sarutobi Hiruzen has seen, Ah Huo is a breath of fresh air…

The Hokage's intelligence network knew every Konoha ninja's alternate account and their statements, but he simply observed silently without saying a word. In truth, he knew everything.

"Ah Huo, you can do it!"

"However, if you want to become a Konoha committee member, you still have to start by becoming a Konoha ninja first..."

As if by magic, Hiruzen Sarutobi produced a dark green Konoha Jonin uniform and headband, handed them to Ah-Huo, and looked at them intently.

"Should we join Konoha?"

Ah Huo's breathing suddenly became difficult.

No, did it come so quickly and directly?

It shouldn't be that it had to talk to the Hokage again to further explain its value and role in the Crimson Organization, and that Hiruzen Sarutobi brought it up again... It seems like this was all planned in advance!

"The fact that the Will of Fire can attract ninjas from all walks of life shows that it is universal."

"Not only ninjas, but also tailed beasts recognize it..."

"Ah Huo, although your appearance is a bit special, I sensed the burning will of fire and the golden yearning for peace in your heart a long time ago."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly:

"Take Obito's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan as an example..."

"Based on my understanding of Madara, he shouldn't have used genjutsu as a substitute, but rather he should have used a real scene to provoke Obito. However, Madara didn't do that in the end, and instead showed tenderness."

"I don't think this is something he could have figured out on his own; someone must have mediated between them..."

"I think it's you."

"So, your Will of Fire doesn't need much proof; I can feel it with my heart..." Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Ah-Hai.

Ah Huo was truly shocked at this moment!

The Hokage really does know everything...

To prevent Obito from holding a grudge against Madara, Ah-Huo didn't tell Obito about it.

Only Izuna, who was within the Scarlet Organization, understood the whole story and guessed the truth...

But the Hokage is in Konoha!

Ah-Huo stared in shock at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his hands trembling as he accepted the Konoha Jonin's uniform, feeling the texture of the fabric. It should have been cold, but Ah-Huo felt his palms were burning hot…

It was as if I had received a ball of fire.

"Ah-Huo, please continue to stay by Madara's side for now..."

"If you have any needs, just tell me openly when you return to the village..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered something Obito had complained about to him.

White Zetsu always asks what it feels like to poop...

This absurd and abstract question, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, is a reflection of the White Zetsu's inner needs: they want to become living, breathing people, after all, they were people before.

"Whether you want to learn ninjutsu or get rid of or improve your current plant-like body, the village can do it, and your needs should be met by the village."

Ah Huo took a deep breath.

Hiruzen Sarutobi even saw its deepest desires…

Become a living, breathing person with all five senses!

"Lord Hokage, please don't worry!!"

Ah-Huo solemnly picked up the Konoha headband: "From this day forward, I am your ninja! I will protect Konoha and the Will of Fire with my life." Kaguya silently watched this scene and whispered to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Ask Zetsu..."

Kaguya told the Hokage about Black Zetsu's existence one day after she and Hiruzen Sarutobi finished training in ninjutsu.

After all, the stories of the Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths have been told, or rather, Hiruzen Sarutobi has guessed their true nature, so there's no need for Black Zetsu to continue hiding... "Hai, do you have a Yin-Yang Release creation by your side? It has a strange control over White Zetsu, but it's usually the relatively low-key type..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually knew about Black Zetsu's existence; Obito had told him about it.

However, neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Kaguya realized that it was Black Zetsu, since he was Kaguya-hime's third son.

Who would have thought that Ah Huo, a White Zetsu, would squeeze out his ecological niche?

"Yes, Hokage-sama..."

"But about it..." Ah Huo pointed to his heart with embarrassment.

The Black Order has a natural constraint on them, stemming from the secret authority granted to Kaguya and the Gedo Mazo.

"So it really is as you described, absolutely brilliant?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled.

Kaguya, on the other hand, was starting to lose her composure.

The Yin-Yang Release artifacts she created, embodying her wisdom and forbearance, have been honed in the ninja world for a thousand years…

So he was defeated by a White Zetsu who had only been learning the Fire Intent for a few years?

Is the Will of Fire really that evil?

Not only are the ninjas incredibly fierce, but terrifying techniques that amplify power a hundredfold are constantly emerging. Even the White Zetsu can defeat the Black Zetsu she created…

That's completely unreasonable.

Kaguya silently transferred her chakra to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Release it!"

"Thank you for your help again..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and, with a flick of his wrist, broke the invisible spell that had bound Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu is the third son of the Goddess of the Rabbit, and carries a portion of her power..."

"Lurking in the ninja world, they want to unseal the Goddess of the Rabbit from the moon..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said casually.

"Is that really how it is?" Ah Huo's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder Black Zetsu is always so sharp-tongued; he used to be so arrogant and looked down on them…

It turns out they have quite a background!

However, Ah Huo wasn't too concerned about Black Zetsu anymore, because he was now a Konoha ninja with the Hokage and the village behind him, and he had single-handedly suppressed Black Zetsu...

"What do you need me to do, Hokage-sama?"

"I can try to find a way to get Lord Madara to take it down!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ah Huo's eyes.

Kaguya sighed silently.

Absolutely amazing...

Look at them!

You've been manipulated by the reincarnation of Indra, and what are you doing?

Why don't you learn the Will of Fire?

"This could expose you, Ah Huo, don't do that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and revealed a mysterious smile: "Hai, I know you are in charge of intelligence in the Crimson Organization, and I also have my own intelligence network."

"Tell Black Zetsu to assist you properly. I have already reached an agreement with the Goddess of the Rabbit."

"Doesn't it possess a wisp of chakra close to high-purity All-Killing Ash Bones? If one day the evil sage and Mr. Madara clash in will, that will be its time to strike..."

"However, we must act only when Mr. Madara actively seeks help, and try our best not to reveal its identity, so that Mr. Madara doesn't feel like he's being played..."

Ah-Huo stared in disbelief at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

What does it mean that the Naruto has reached a cooperation agreement with the Goddess of the Rabbit?

"Give this to Black Zetsu, it will obey."

A layer of gray bone dust emanated from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand. It was non-destructive bone powder that had been tempered and was placed in a small bottle before being handed to A-Huo.

Although the remaining amount was very weak, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that Black Zetsu could sense Kaguya's presence within it...

In a sense...

This is telling Black Zetsu that he has hostages in his hands!

Work properly with his Konoha ninja, Ah-Huo...

"I understand, Hokage-sama..."

Ah Huo carefully accepted the bottle, his heart filled with emotion.

It had thought that the Hokage might be eager to know about its existence and the inside story of the Scarlet Organization, and of course, Ah-Huo was willing to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi and Konoha.

Ah Huo was surprised to discover that the Hokage seemed to have known all along and had quietly contacted a sage, even reaching a deep cooperation agreement!

That's too low-key...

Ah Huo couldn't help but reflect.

It has become arrogant after achieving some success with Madara, a ninja from the Warring States period. How can it grow from a Jonin of Konoha to a member of the Konoha Committee if it continues like this?

I must continue to learn from and improve under the Hokage!

"Ah-Huo, I heard from Obito that you are very interested in the village's rules and regulations, the institutionalization of the Will of Fire, and other details. That's excellent; it's extremely rare."

"Force is certainly important in the ninja world."

"However, the extension of the Will of Fire is equally important in the study of humanities and social sciences... because it is an important topic for stabilizing military power and creating a good atmosphere in the ninja world as a whole."

"There are very few ninjas who can dedicate themselves to studying this point."

"You are very special..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took several stacks of Mokuryu brand cigarettes from the drawer and placed them in Ah-Huo's hands: "Study hard! I'll mark your account as an internal account. Feel free to ask me any questions. I'd love to communicate with you and improve together..."

"Obito and I have been partners for a long time. I hope you can continue to work together and serve the village for another fifty years at an even higher level..." Ah-Huo felt his heart pounding wildly!

It had completely forgotten what the Hokage had just said about taking some cigarettes with it when it left…

Ah-Huo thought it was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect that Hiruzen Sarutobi would remember it.

Furthermore, it also has the ability to send private messages!

And then there were Hiruzen Sarutobi's final words...

Obito had a very high chance of becoming Hokage...

That means it could potentially become Obito's behind-the-scenes advisor...

A Konoha committee member in charge of the Will of Fire!

"Your kindness..."

Ah-Huo stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Ah-Huo can only repay this debt with my own life!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head helplessly.

"What favor is there? I should be thanking you for your contributions to the village..."

The more the Hokage said that, the more intense Ah-Huo's emotions became, almost to the point of being unbearable.

This is so much better than Lord Madara!

They're practically from two different dimensions...

Ah-Huo reluctantly bid farewell to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It is now going to join forces with Izuna to become the true controller of the Scarlet Organization!

The first step is to scare Black Zetsu...

The second step is to make the new member, Yu Ren, understand the Will of Fire!

And at this moment.

An unknown corner of the ninja world.

After the Gedo Mazo sent out a plea for help, the reinforcements, who should have arrived much later according to the Otsutsuki time scale, were brought forward by an extremely bored member of the main clan...

Momoshiki and Kinshiki are ready to depart.

Meanwhile, the extremely bored member of the main branch, who was mocked by Kaguya as a spoiled young master, Urashiki Otsutsuki, actually arrived in the ninja world immediately, treating it as a tourist attraction.

Urashiki arrived ahead of time, carrying a Noble Phantasm called "Rhinoceros".

This treasure is a pair with another "complete" treasure. It was originally possessed by Shiba, the legendary eternal patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan, who has now disappeared or ascended to heaven.

"Shu" disappeared along with Shibai, but in fact, after Shibai passed away in the ninja world, "Kon" came to life as a turtle and played the role of Jiraiya in the ocean of the ninja world.

The "Rhinoceros" was passed down to Urashiki.

As for why Urashiki was chosen, as Kaguya said, although he is not very capable and is cynical, he is the young master of the Otsutsuki clan...

In terms of bloodline, they are the closest of the family.

"Phew, looks like it's not a big problem..."

Because Urashiki emphasized that the ninja world was very dangerous, he made a rebellious decision.

In order to obtain in-depth information about various aspects of the ninja world, Urashiki used the extremely valuable space-time energy of "Rhino" to travel to Konoha in multiple parallel universes...

However, Pu Shi found that there was little difference.

In some timelines, there might be an arrogant brat named "Uzumaki Menma," a clever blond boy named "Namikaze Menma," or even a one-armed black-haired man with the Rinnegan and six tomoe...

Because their potential is fixed, they are still operating within the chakra system established by the Otsutsuki clan, without developing their taijutsu and natural energy in depth.

Their utilization of space and time is also poor; the only sealing technique that Urashiki should pay attention to, however, hasn't been further expanded upon by any ninja. Unless fighting in an alternate dimension and not subject to the suppression of spacetime laws, Urashiki believes he fully understands the chakra system of the native ninjas…

Because of Ichishiki's reminder, Urashiki made a cautious but wasteful attempt...

First, go to the alternate dimension to find the various limits of the ninja world, in case there are deep-seated monsters lying in ambush...

After all, every move backfired.

"It seems that Senior Isshiki exaggerated!"

"It's just an excuse they made up after betraying each other with that dangerous woman, Kaguya..."

After touring the Will of Fire ninja world, Urashiki shook his head and revealed a cruel smile: "I must say, this ninja world is the most developed I've ever seen in any timeline."

"But it still doesn't make sense."

"This ninja forum is quite interesting though..."

Pu Shi pulled out a stolen phone, scrolled through the posts, and revealed a pleased smile:

"Everyone says it was because of a Hokage named Hiruzen Sarutobi that things changed. Looks like he really worked hard! Wow, what a rare treat for a native like us..."

"But such efforts are meaningless in the face of the Ōtsutsuki clan's bloodline..."

"A man who dedicated his entire life to his studies discovered that everything he did was in vain... Known as the so-called ninjutsu doctor, he researched chakra his whole life but didn't even have a trace of bloodline limit..."

"I wonder what a pathetic look that expression will look on his face..."

How powerless he must have felt? How pathetic he must have been?

When Urashiki thought of this scene, he felt that although he had used so much precious spacetime energy, being able to perceive such sweet emotions made it all worthwhile!

"I can't help but want to see how this native named Hiruzen Sarutobi trains on a daily basis..."

"No matter how much you cultivate, you'll still be nothing more than a small fry."

"Funny, so very fun!"

As he thought this, Urashiki concealed his presence and headed towards Konoha with a smile on his face.

Rather than running into someone Ishiki who's nowhere to be found...

Urashiki plans to secretly observe Hiruzen Sarutobi's training for a few days first...

After all, he arrived early, so it's reasonable that he should have some freedom of movement.

That's just the nature of Urashiki.

Although he prefers to use honorifics and won't harm his own kind, he is actually a very wicked Ōtsutsuki who doesn't particularly pursue greater power and prefers to see the helpless expressions of his enemies...

Alternate time and space.

"Since the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki isn't here, I'll take my leave, Fifth Hokage..."

"Did they reach Mount Myoboku?"

Nagato, manipulating the Heavenly Path, spoke coldly to Tsunade from the alternate dimension.

In a different dimension, Kabuto, Obito, and Black Zetsu joined forces, and the Akatsuki, after a long absence, launched a coordinated attack on Konoha, leading their reanimated members and White Zetsu...

In this situation, the alternate dimension's Nagato easily broke through Konoha's original defenses and read the information captured from Shizune's mind. However, it's worth noting that Nagato did not kill Shizune.

Perhaps it's because Shizune, like her father, is a medical ninja...

"Don't even try to resist. In the face of overwhelming power, everything is meaningless. Isn't this the ironclad rule that the five hidden villages have always upheld...?"

Nagato, wielding the power of the heavens, glanced at the ANBU members present.

"Consciously believing himself to be the center of the ninja world, speaking of the Will of Fire, yet creating the most hatred..."

In an instant, Nagato's mind drifted to the image of his parents, who had been slept with bystanders, and Hanzo, who had colluded with Danzo...

"War is merciless and should be stopped. To prevent everyone from living with death and pain, and to forever end war, I must capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Heavenly Dao turned around and prepared to take off and leave.

But the otherworldly being roared at the Heavenly Dao:

"Stop spouting nonsense! The pain we in Konoha have endured far surpasses yours!"

"It's not your place to talk about the Will of Fire!"

At this moment, Nagato from the alternate dimension suddenly encountered a crisis.

Those horrible images kept flashing through my mind…

He took off immediately!

"Don't use that move, it will affect your lifespan!" Xiao Nan from the alternate dimension urgently advised.

However, the resolute demeanor of the long-faced figure from the alternate dimension was as cold as ice.

He really made Konoha taste the bitterness of pain!

Super Shinra Tensei is about to begin!

But at that very moment, the Heavenly Dao, standing in mid-air…

Obito suddenly appeared in front of him in a levitating, intangible form!

Obito, embodying the Will of Fire, unleashed the Kotoamatsukami technique, which Naruto hadn't yet mastered:

"Wait a moment!"

"Don't use Shinra Tensei yet!"

"You must be Nagato Inoue? Let me tell you, Yahiko is still alive in our timeline, Amegakure has joined Konoha, and everyone is trying to seek peace in a non-warlike way!"

"Yahiko and I are friends, even though he's from another timeline. But I believe Yahiko would never want to see you do this!" As Tendo's hands spread open to the left and right, the puppet's face showed a series of human-like astonishment.

But Obito's Kotoamatsukami was not yet finished:

"As for ninjas resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."

"If you are Kabuto, please stop! Yakushi Nonou is still alive in our timeline, and she's a candidate for Konoha! She asked me to tell you that she's very worried about you in the alternate timeline..."

"She definitely wouldn't want to see you continue down the wrong path..."

The person from the other time and space stopped stringing the beads and froze, completely stunned.

And in Konoha, disaster struck.

In another dimension, Tobirama, along with Aoisui, Fugaku, and Hizashi, arrived at the crossroads...

Find the alternate dimension Danzo who deliberately avoids battle and is connected to the dead frog!
