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

Empire, imperial palace.

"It's alright."

"If I can't get through, the Empire has plenty of people who can."

A moment later.

A series of names flashed through Chiba's mind.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy...

These people, under normal circumstances, have combat power that is just at the peak of the Kage level, perfectly meeting the restrictions of the portal.

But as long as they step through that door...

We arrived in a parallel world.

Activate Sage Mode, or use the Eight Gates Formation.

Their combat power can instantly soar to the level of a super shadow, even comparable to a humanoid calamity.

That fragile passage can't control the eruption that will occur after they pass through.

"Reveal my decree."

"Convene an Imperial Supreme Council meeting immediately!"

Chiba issued the order.

The entire capital city instantly sprang into action, with countless figures rushing toward the palace.

Half an hour later.

The Imperial Palace, the Supreme Council Hall.

The lights were on, and the atmosphere was solemn and respectful.

The huge round table was filled with powerful ministers of the empire.

Fugaku Uchiha was dressed in a magnificent black robe, his expression calm and composed.

Hiashi Hyuga sat upright like a pine tree, his aura exuding an imposing presence without anger.

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza sat side by side, their expressions composed.

Kakashi Hatake, wearing the mask of the Anbu Chief, stood silently to one side.

Top young powerhouses such as Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi lined up on both sides.

The four giant screens at the front of the hall lit up.

The highest-ranking officials of the four major provinces of Wind, Water, Earth, and Thunder were simultaneously connected.

Luo Sha rested his chin on his hands, which were crossed.

Mei Terumi's red lips were slightly parted, her expression languid.

Onoki floated in mid-air, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Ai, on the other hand, had a face full of fierce features and was brimming with fighting spirit.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

The gate burst open with a roar.

Chiba stepped into the hall.

He was wearing a simple white imperial robe.

However, the terrifying pressure from the Six Paths level expert caused everyone present to involuntarily lower their heads.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The sound was like a tidal wave, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Chiba walked to the head of the table, turned around, and sat down.

"waived."

Everyone then took their seats, sitting up straight.

Chiba's gaze swept across the entire room.

"I have summoned you all today for only one thing."

"The portal to the parallel world is now completely secure!"

This statement came out.

The entire council hall erupted in chaos.

Even these high-ranking officials could not remain calm at this moment.

Fugaku Uchiha clenched his fist tightly.

Hyuga Hiashi was breathing rapidly.

On the screen, Raikage Ai jumped up and smashed the table in front of him to pieces.

"good!"

"The empire is finally about to expand its territory again!"

"My bones have practically rusted from all these years!"

Onoki sneered, his face full of mockery.

"Ai".

"You're still as impatient as ever, you brute."

"However, this time, I agree with your opinion."

Three years.

With the ninja world unified, peace reigns throughout the land.

The empire's ninjas enjoyed unprecedented resources, and their strength increased by leaps and bounds.

But without war, I always feel that these skills are useless.

now.

A whole new world is unfolding before us; who wouldn't be excited?

Chiba raised his right hand.

The noise stopped abruptly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Don't get too excited yet."

Orochimaru reports: The portal requires a massive amount of energy to maintain.

"Pass on my transfer order."

"Order all the Pillar Forces within the Empire to immediately proceed to the Dragon Vein of the Wind Province and await orders."

"Charge the portal!"

Nara Shikaku immediately stood up and responded respectfully.

"Understood, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Naruto, Killer Bee, Gaara, and other Jinchūriki...

They now hold important positions in the empire, and mobilizing them is just a matter of a word.

"Next."

Tell me about that world.

Chiba continued.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense, and everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any details.

"That world is currently in Konoha year 56."

Nothing has changed.

"It's still a mess with the five great ninja villages dividing the country."

"Those useless daimyo still ride roughshod over the ninjas."

Upon hearing this...

Onoki looked at him with disdain and snorted coldly.

"Daimyo?"

"Does that kind of good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun deserve to rule a country?"

Luo Sha echoed on the screen, his tone sarcastic.

"That's ridiculous."

"If it weren't for the Empire, we would have been like dogs, wagging our tails and begging the daimyo for funds."

Mei Terumi covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"That corrupt system is truly nauseating."

Chiba ignored their complaints and continued to drop bombshells.

"The Konoha leadership of that world."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado."

"They are forcing the Uchiha clan to rebel, attempting to exterminate them."

"Shimura Danzo even secretly colluded to steal the Sharingan."

boom!

A terrifying killing intent erupted in the hall.

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes instantly transformed into kaleidoscopes, and even the surrounding air became icy cold.

Uchiha Itachi gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Although Uchiha Shisui's face remained expressionless, the anger in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

"This is outrageous!"

Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth.

He would never allow anyone to use such dirty means to murder his people, not even people from parallel worlds!

"Not only that."

"The caged bird of the Hyuga clan still exists, with the main family and branch family fighting each other."

"The envoy from Kumogakure even dared to openly kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan within Konoha."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi's solution was to force Hizashi Hyuga to his death and compromise with Kumogakure."

Chiba continued speaking.

boom!

Hiashi Hyuga slammed his palm on the table, instantly causing cracks to appear all over the solid wood surface.

His chest heaved violently; he was clearly furious.

The Hyuga clan of the Empire had long since abolished that damned Caged Bird Seal, and the clan was more united than ever before.

He simply couldn't bear the thought that his counterpart in another world was so pathetic and dejected!

the most important is.

In that world, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually forced his younger brother Hizashi Hyuga to his death.

This is something Hiashi Hyuga cannot accept!

"Cough cough..."

"That's all in parallel worlds, it has nothing to do with me."

On the screen, Lei Ying Ai's expression froze, and he coughed awkwardly twice.

"The five great ninja villages are wary of each other, and the common people at the bottom of society are starving."

"Ninjas are merely tools for higher-ups to pursue their own interests."

"That world was filled with decay, darkness, betrayal, and despair."

Chiba leaned back in his chair, his gaze cold.

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose, echoing throughout the entire hall.

"Tell me, can you tolerate this garbage system continuing to exist?!"

"cannot!"

The deafening roar seemed to threaten to rip the palace dome off.

Every high-ranking official in the empire had a burning flame of fanaticism in their eyes.

They were accustomed to the fairness, prosperity, and power of the empire.

Looking at the outdated model of the Five Great Ninja Villages, it's simply a pile of stinking garbage.

"That system should have been completely crushed long ago!"

Kakashi Hatake spoke coldly.

He thought of his past self, who couldn't even protect his companions and was immersed in self-blame and despair all day long. What a useless person he was!

"In that world, the Ino-Shika-Cho pair must also be walking on thin ice."

"They could be discarded at any time."

Nara Shikaku sighed.

Chiba stood up.

He looked down at the crowd from his high vantage point.

"The portal has a combat power limit; it can only accommodate peak Kage-level opponents."

"In other words, I cannot come in person."

Everyone looked disappointed.

But Chiba then added.

"but."

"What the empire has in abundance is strong individuals!"

"Anyone whose normal level is at or below the peak of the Kage rank is eligible to participate!"

"Once we get there, we'll activate Sage Mode and remove the restrictions."

"Let those frogs in a well see what real power is!"

"Who is willing to lead an army into battle and conquer that world for the empire?"

As Chiba finished speaking.

The atmosphere in the hall was immediately pushed to its peak.

Swish!

Everyone in the room responded without the slightest hesitation.

They all stood up straight, and the huge chairs creaked and groaned.

"The Uchiha clan is willing to be the empire's sharpest blade!"

Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"The Hyuga clan swears to follow His Majesty to the death!"

Hiashi Hyuga followed closely behind.

"All members of the Anbu unit are on standby!"

Kakashi Hatake knelt down on one knee.

The four provincial governors on the screen were even more anxious, shouting and yelling.

Onoki shouted at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty! The elite troops of the Land of Earth are already starving!"

Ai, not to be outdone, declared: "Let's start with an application for the Thunder Province!"

Luo Sha patted his chest confidently: "The Province of Wind will absolutely not lag behind!"

Mei Terumi smiled alluringly, but her eyes flashed with a dangerous light: "The Water Province is willing to clear all obstacles for Your Majesty."
