Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 252 I, Madara, Desire to Be Strong [Part 1]

In the distance, on a high hillside where the White Zetsu army was located.

With his eyes pitch black, Madara Uchiha, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, looked at the volley of fire that wiped out one-tenth of the White Zetsu army, his expression somewhat gloomy.

This kind of thing...

This was not what he expected...

……

"That's amazing!"

Naruto ran to Sakumo Hatake's side, his eyes shining as he looked at him: "Uncle! What are these things?! Are they that powerful?!"

Sakumo Hatake chuckled and explained to Naruto, "This is called the Chakra Cannon; it's a weapon of war from our world."

That was just an appetizer. Come on, young man, let's assemble the cannon together.

Naruto nodded repeatedly in agreement. For him, this was a novel thing he had never seen before, let alone handled directly.

Looking at Naruto in front of him, Sakumo Hatake instinctively asked, "How old are you this year, young man?"

Naruto: "I'm 16 years old."

Sakumo Hatake: "??? 16 years old?!"

Naruto looked at Sakumo Hatake with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Sakumo Hatake suddenly covered his eyes, then looked at Naruto with a mixture of disappointment and exasperation: "You're so young, and you're already on the battlefield?! Your Hokage actually allowed you to go to the battlefield?!"

Sakumo Hatake couldn't help but feel this way.

His son, Kakashi Hatake, is nine years old this year and will enter the Ninja Academy next year when he turns ten.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, students are usually trained by Jonin for one or two years to learn the basic procedures before they go on to work in other industries.

That was in the past.

Nowadays, the time from graduating from ninja school until the age of 15 is the time to take college entrance exams.

In other words, a 16-year-old in Yuya's village should be thinking about how to get into university.

Instead of fighting the war here, or even going to the front lines...

Naruto was a little confused. What was wrong with going to the battlefield at 16?

In the past, there were many people who went to war at the age of 8 or 9.

Fortunately, Naruto still had some sense and ultimately didn't reveal the truth.

Otherwise, Sakumo Hatake would have really exploded on the spot.

When Kumogakure and Konoha were at war, and other villages were trying to take advantage of the situation, Yuya didn't send children of that age to the battlefield.

If Sakumo Hatake found out, he would really go berserk.

Because his son is indeed 9 years old.

Fortunately, Naruto wisely shut up, and Sakumo Hatake also realized that this was not his world.

They shook their heads to indicate that they would set up the chakra cannon and leave.

After unloading the cargo, the truck driver, led by the Konoha ninja of this world, drove the truck to Konoha Village.

They still need to go to Konoha Village and haul back a truckload of mineral resources before they can receive the follow-up payment of five million taels of silver.

Naruto ran to Sasuke's side and whispered, "That old man looks really fierce. Who is he from that world? Do you know?"

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and replied coldly, "He is the captain of the Hokage's Guard in another world, Hatake Sakumo, and Kakashi Hatake's father."

"What?! Kakashi-sensei's father?!" Naruto exclaimed in shock, quickly covering his mouth.

Sakumo Hatake actually heard it, but he didn't want to concern himself with the affairs of this world anymore.

The war that has broken out in this world has nothing to do with their world, and there is no need for them to linger.

However, while Sakumo Hatake thought this way, someone else didn't want him to just leave like that...

"The situation is not optimistic. There are too many White Zetsu. If they break through the defenses of the Land of Iron and enter Konoha and the Land of Lightning, the number of casualties will be astronomical."

On the other side, Kakashi Hatake was reporting the current situation to the reanimated Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Meanwhile, the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage, all reanimated by Edo Tensei, listened from the sidelines.

"This is truly... this situation is absolutely terrible." Edo Tobirama sighed, gritting his teeth.

Edo Tensei Hashirama offered his opinion: "Can we locate the mastermind behind this? Let's go directly there and carry out a decapitation strike."

Kakashi shook his head: "No, the reconnaissance ninjas have used every method, but it's like the other side doesn't exist in this world at all; we can't find any trace of them."

Edo Tensei Minato Namikaze offered his opinion: "What about a map? Do you have a map? If you have a map, you should be able to deduce the approximate location."

Kakashi continued to shake his head: "The White Zetsu army probably numbers over a million. In fact, we already put in a lot of effort to draw their attention here. Originally, the White Zetsu army was attacking Iwagakure, Konoha, and Kumogakure separately. However, after we formed the United Ninja Army, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts from each village came together, and the White Zetsu army stopped attacking other villages and instead headed towards us."

Edo Tensei Hashirama frowned, sensing something ominous: "Tailed Beast Jinchuriki? What does this have to do with Tailed Beast Jinchuriki?!"

Kakashi explained, "Actually, it's not just our great ninja village that's being attacked; there are also small ninja villages like Takigakure that have tailed beasts."

However, Sunagakure, having lost Shukaku (the One-Tailed Beast), remained unattacked. Therefore, Lady Tsunade deduced that the enemy's target was the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts. To prevent the White Zetsu army from continuing their scattered attacks, Lady Tsunade proposed gathering all the Jinchuriki together.

After hearing this, the reanimated Hashirama nodded with some relief.

As expected of her granddaughter, she's so reliable.

Moreover, this is his own granddaughter, not from another world.

Speaking of the other world, Tsunade's temper has improved quite a bit after being married for so many years, and she's still the best doctor in Konoha Village, with two children...

As the impure Hashirama pondered this, he realized something was amiss.

Why did he feel that Tsunade in this world was much more miserable than in the other world?

He's been single for over fifty years, never married, and almost lost his medical skills due to hemophobia. His only hobby is gambling, but after becoming Hokage, he has no time to go to gambling dens and can only buy lottery tickets and the like.

Whether you win or not is another matter, but there's absolutely no fun in gambling with that stuff!

Edo Tensei Hashirama sighed. It would be better to be like in the other world, get married, have two kids. It's busy, but at least there's no need to worry…

In that other world, Tsunade still looks like a beautiful and youthful 18-year-old.

While the Yin seal played a part, not worrying too much was also one of the reasons...

As the impure Hashirama was lost in thought, a figure rushed towards them.

Target……

It pointed directly at Sakumo Hatake, who was assembling a chakra cannon.
