Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

The Nara family's residence.

The shadows in the conference room suddenly began to churn like boiling water.

This is not the Nara family's shadow imitation technique.

This was a more domineering chakra that forcibly distorted the rules of shadow.

next moment.

Five tall, slender figures emerged from the swirling shadows.

This was after the empire was established.

The Nara family, drawing upon the collective wisdom of their clan and combining it with advanced theories bestowed by Chiba, developed the Shadow Technique.

It can penetrate the crevices of dimensions and ignore more than 90% of the barriers in the world.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio's highest level of defense is practically useless against this move.

the other side.

The moment I saw who it was.

Choza Akimichi clenched his fists and froze on the spot.

Yamanaka Inoichi's eyes were wide open, and his brain was buzzing.

What did they feel?

These five seemingly young boys possess an astonishing amount of chakra within them!

Especially the black-haired, aloof young man standing on the left, and the white-eyed young man on the right.

That kind of chakra fluctuation.

Absolutely movie-level!

No, it even surpasses ordinary Kage-level powerhouses!

"Yo."

"Nice to meet you."

"My dad in this world."

Nara Shikamaru grinned and waved at Nara Shikaku.

The air froze completely.

Nara Shikaku's brain began to work frantically.

Shikamaru's face...

That iconic pineapple head...

Even their posture and their aversion to trouble were exactly the same as mine.

Nara Shikaku's first reaction was that it was absurd.

How is that possible?

Is this his future son?

Space-time ninjutsu?

Or is it some kind of illusion that can manipulate cognition?

Nara Shikaku quickly formed hand seals, mobilizing his chakra to try and break through the interference of the genjutsu.

Don't bother.

"It's not an illusion."

"Besides, I'm not your son who will grow up."

Shikamaru saw through Nara Shikaku's intentions at a glance.

He lowered his hand and looked around the somewhat dilapidated Konoha conference room.

"I am Nara Shikamaru from another world."

"Parallel worlds, you know?"

These four words were uttered.

The air pressure in the conference room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Yamanaka Inoichi frantically channeled his mental energy, attempting to establish a mental connection to probe the other person's brain.

however.

His spiritual power had just touched those people.

Hyuga Neji snorted coldly, instantly activating his Byakugan.

A solid, tangible mental barrier suddenly rebounded.

As if struck by lightning, Yamanaka Inoichi staggered back three steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Haiyi!"

Akimichi Choza roared, just about to grow to gigantic size.

"Stop it, all of you."

Nara Shikaku suddenly raised his arm and stopped his two old friends.

He stared intently at Shikamaru in front of him, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

too strong.

If these five people wanted to kill them.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio will be completely wiped out of Konoha today.

"Parallel world..."

Nara Shikaku chewed on those four words, a chill running down his spine.

As Konoha's strategist.

He could understand the concept, but found it extremely difficult to accept this reality.

But he understood that the other party had no need to lie.

"Since it's another world..."

"Then how did you end up here?"

"Also, what's it like where you are?"

Nara Shikaku forced himself to calm down, but his voice was a little hoarse.

He didn't immediately believe Shikamaru's words.

But in a short time, he didn't know how to refute the other party.

"Our world?"

Shikamaru stroked his chin and murmured softly.

Then.

He pulled over a chair, sat down without any hesitation, and even crossed his legs.

"Fifty-fourth year of Konoha".

"That was two years ago."

"His Majesty Chiba has emerged out of nowhere."

"He used absolute power to overthrow Hiruzen Sarutobi and that group of corrupt high-ranking officials."

"No civil war, no compromise."

"Just him alone, a wooden figure hundreds of meters tall."

"He ripped off Shimura Danzo's arm, exposing all his dirty secrets in public."

"..."

Hearing Shikamaru's words.

Nara Shikaku and his two companions felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The Senju Clan?

A wooden figure hundreds of meters tall?

What an insane script!

"same year."

"His Majesty Chiba ascends the throne and becomes the Fifth Hokage."

"The next six years."

"He abolished all the disgusting unspoken rules and gave all ninja clans the fairest treatment."

"Distribution according to work, merit point system."

"Everyone can obtain the ninjutsu and resources they want through hard work."

"We are the three races of pig, deer, and butterfly."

"He was given complete authority by Lord Chiba and took over Konoha's political affairs, finances, and mission assignments."

"We are no longer pawns of the Hokage faction, but the core who truly holds the lifeline of Konoha."

"..."

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza were dumbfounded.

They felt as if they were listening to a myth.

Completely delegate authority to Ino-Shika-Cho?

That's a huge pie of profit!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so careful around them, how could the Hokage from another world dare to do this?

"This isn't over yet."

"Sixty years in Konoha".

"His Majesty Chiba abolished all the daimyo of the country."

"The daimyo of the Land of Fire voluntarily abdicated."

"Subsequently, His Majesty Chiba launched a war to unify the ninja world."

In an instant.

The meeting room was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.

Abolish the Daimyo?

Unify the ninja world?

Only a madman would dare to think of that!

"Sunagakure and Kirigakure surrendered immediately."

"The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village, however, attempted to resist."

"result."

"Lord Chiba, along with the reanimated First and Second Hokage and the allied forces of various ninja clans, utterly decimated the two villages."

"Now, there are no Five Great Nations or ninja villages in our area."

"There is only one empire that rules the entire ninja world."

"The ninja world is divided into five provinces."

"With the people living in peace and prosperity, the strength of ninjas has also seen an explosive increase."

Speaking of it.

Shikamaru pointed to himself.

"And we, the pig, deer, and butterfly tribes..."

"Moreover, he is one of the absolute core members of the empire, wielding immense power."

"..."

Nara Shikaku was stunned.

He felt that his entire worldview had been completely shattered.

Unify the ninja world?

To build an empire?

Did the Ino-Shika-Cho trio become the core of the empire?

Compared to that magnificent and hopeful world.

The Hidden Leaf Village they were in was nothing more than a stinking, rotten swamp.

Every day is filled with scheming and worrying about being stabbed in the back by one's own people.

"This is... a crazy script."

For a long time.

Nara Shikaku gave a bitter laugh, his voice trembling.

He looked at Shikamaru, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

There was envy, there was jealousy, and there was also a deep sense of powerlessness.

"but……"

soon.

Nara Shikaku's gaze began to move.

He bypassed Shikamaru and locked his gaze on the aloof young man.

He recognized the Uchiha clan emblem on the clothes.

But this boy's aura was completely different from that of the current Uchiha clan in Konoha.

Although he was still somewhat arrogant.

But it lacked that cynical and resentful air.

In particular, its terrifying aura far surpasses that of the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

"You just asked me that."

"Now that we have seen through the decay of Konoha."

"Why don't we resist? Why don't we overthrow Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

Nara Shikaku took a deep breath, his tone becoming extremely heavy.

Sasuke raised his head.

His dark eyes pierced Nara Shikaku like sharp swords.

He did have this question.

In the empire, the Uchiha clan was the sharpest sword.

Anyone who dares to plot against the Uchiha will pay with their life.

"The answer is simple."

"Because we dare not move, much less can we move."

Meeting Sasuke's gaze.

Nara Shikaku did not back down and replied with a wry smile.

Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi also lowered their heads, their faces full of bitterness.

"In your world, there is a monster called Thousand Hands Chiba."

"He possesses absolute power on par with the First Hokage."

"He can single-handedly crush all dissenting voices into dust."

"But here."

"We don't have Chiba Senju!"

"Our three clans, the pig, the deer, and the butterfly, are indeed a force to be reckoned with."

"If we add the Uchiha clan, we might actually be able to overthrow the higher-ups."

"But what happens after that?"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is no pushover."

"Danzo also controls the elite of the Root organization."

"They will try to win over other ninja clans, and even use the pretext of righteousness."

"Once war breaks out, Konoha will be plunged into a full-blown civil war."

"The final result will only be mutual destruction!"

"Spies from other countries have been keeping an eye on Konoha."

"If Konoha falls into internal strife, it will be completely divided up by other ninja villages."

"..."
