The world I hear is completely different from yours.

At this moment, the Kaguya clan also realized their difficult situation of fighting against a country as a single clan, so they began to look for allies.

However, in the long-term internal strife, Kirigakure had quietly wiped out almost all the bloodline clans in the Land of Water. By the time the Kaguya clan realized something was wrong, it was too late. The Kaguya clan could no longer find a bloodline clan that could form an alliance with them to fight against Kirigakure. The only one willing to form an alliance with them to resist Kirigakure was the evil god church, which had little fighting power.

Having come to this point, even a weak ally would be a source of strength. With this in mind, the Kaguya clan reluctantly accepted the situation.

Taking advantage of the war between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, which left the Hidden Mist Village vulnerable, they signed an alliance with the Church of the Evil God, agreeing to attack the Hidden Mist Village together.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

To the Kaguya clan's surprise, because Yekura and Sasori inadvertently disrupted the secret meeting between the Black-Robed Bishop and the elders of Yugakure Village, the Black-Robed Bishop, who was suspicious of the situation, hastily ordered an early attack. Thus, without notifying the Kaguya clan, the Evil God Church began its attack plan on Yugakure Village and Kirigakure Village on its own.

As a result, the Church of Evil Gods successfully occupied the relatively weak Yugakure, but the followers of the Church of Evil Gods who launched an attack on Kirigakure failed completely, without even scratching the surface of Kirigakure. After all, Kirigakure, as one of the Five Great Nations, was not something the Church of Evil Gods could provoke, no matter how weak it was.

However, this has caused great harm to the Kaguya clan. With the help of their incompetent ally, the Church of the Evil God, their surprise attack plan has been completely exposed.

"There are hardly any bloodline clans left in the Land of Water. Aside from our Kaguya clan, the other bloodline ninjas have either been killed or are hiding in fear. Add to that the Jashin Church's actions this time, and it seems that once the war between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire ends, the Hidden Mist Village will find an excuse to attack us!!" Kaguya Hone-A clenched her fist tightly, stating her decision decisively. "So I've decided! We can't wait any longer; we must launch an attack while most of the Hidden Mist Village's forces are still on the battlefield!"

"Yes!!" The elders of the Kaguya clan responded loudly, then stood up and left the meeting room to begin their intense preparations for battle.

Watching the elders' departing figures, Kaguya Kokuga whispered to the person beside her, "Go to the dungeon and have Kimimaro prepare as well. The battlefield is where this kind of weapon should exist!"

......................

The next morning, in a secluded corner of Kirigakure, a small ramen shop run by a single owner opened for business, and a little girl named Tensei joined them.

"Hey? Boss, why are there any new employees at your shop today?" a regular customer asked casually.

"I haven't been feeling too well lately, so I hired a new person to help out," the owner replied with a smile. "I've just developed a brand new type of ramen, and it tastes really good, just like yours. Would you like to try it?"

"Oh? Then give me one to try."

Then, the diner looked at the bowl of ramen that was faintly glowing in front of him with a surprised expression: "What's the name of this bowl of noodles?"

"It's called 'Peerless Master Noodles,' the masterpiece of a chef nicknamed 'Little Master Chef of China'!" Tian Qing said with a smile. She remembered how much effort she had put in to get Liu Maoxing to teach her how to make this noodle. Of course, the bowl of noodles he made didn't just emit a faint glow; it was a direct beam of light shooting straight into the stars, blinding countless aliens!

P.S. First update! Please continue to add to your favorites and recommend! O(∩_∩)O Haha~

PS: A special note: The Hozuki clan, which produced the Second Mizukage, possesses the ability to transform their entire bodies into water. While this might seem like a bloodline limit, the official setting book clearly states that it's a secret technique that complements their genetic constitution. Therefore, the Hozuki clan is not a bloodline limit family and thus is not subject to suppression.

There will only be one update today.

Have you ever seen a turtle fall from the sky?

My beloved electric scooter was just hit by a tortoise that flew down from a tall building. The dorm aunt is going from floor to floor asking who threw the tortoise away, while I have to push my beloved little electric scooter to get it repaired. So, there won't be any extra updates this afternoon.

By the way, the turtle's shell was broken, but it was still alive.

Chapter Seventeen: No matter where you are, there are battlefields and NICE BOAT.

Perhaps because the newly launched ramen tastes really good, the news about the "glowing ramen" has gradually spread throughout Kirigakure in the past few days. Soon, many ninjas who love good food came to the shop, and the business of the originally remote and quiet ramen shop suddenly improved a lot. For a while, the small shop was crowded with people and full of customers.

"I went a little too far," Tianqing thought helplessly. Excessive exposure is not a good thing for a spy, especially for one like Tianqing whose identity information is not yet fully prepared. After all, she only used illusion magic to modify the owner's memories to infiltrate the ramen shop. If the Hidden Mist Village carefully investigated the various clues about this newcomer to the ramen shop, they would still be able to find some flaws.

However, due to the unstable situation in Kirigakure, with the war with Konoha on the outside and the recent collective attack by the Jashin cultists on the inside, the Kirigakure ninjas don't have much energy to pay attention to a newcomer at a ramen shop. Therefore, in the past few days, only a few scattered Kirigakure ninjas have made some intentional or unintentional attempts to probe Tensei, without any in-depth investigation, which Tensei has cleverly covered up.

"Xiao Qing, this ramen is ready!" the owner called out loudly, his voice filled with joy, like an artist who had created yet another masterpiece. As a chef who genuinely loves making ramen, after Tian Qing used illusion magic to implant the recipe for the Peerless Noodles into his mind, he had become completely engrossed in making ramen for the past few days.

"Coming!" waitress Tian Qing replied, jogging into the kitchen.

Then, Amehari carried a bowl of ramen that was emitting a faint glow to the table of a tall, fat Mist Ninja: "Sir, your ramen is ready."

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon had several bruises on his face and a gloomy expression. He didn't say anything, just nodded, silently picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat his noodles.

"Speaking of which, wasn't this guy supposed to have set off on a mission? How come he's back so soon?" Tianqing still remembered what happened on the fishing boat earlier. A mission that could get two of the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist" with considerable strength, Suigetsu Hozuki and Hozuki Mangetsu, to set off together for a joint mission shouldn't have been completed so quickly, right?

Of course, Suigetsu Hobutsuki couldn't answer Tensei's question; instead, he responded with his headband.

"Because he fought with Hozuki Mangetsu before, he not only lost the fight, but was also injured by Hozuki Mangetsu's water clone self-destruct technique. As a result, he lost his position as the squad leader, and Hozuki Mangetsu became the new squad leader. He felt that he couldn't save face, so he simply used his physical injury as an excuse to abandon the mission and run back to the village."

"Heh, this unlucky guy. He was first utterly defeated by the Eight Gates, and with this latest blow, the Hidden Mist Village's trust in him is probably almost gone. No wonder he started colluding with outsiders in the original story." Tianqing thought gleefully. As a member of the Hidden Leaf Village, she naturally had no good feelings towards this Hidden Mist ninja who had killed many Hidden Leaf Villagers.

"Waiter! I want to order something! I mean that ramen that's supposedly really good!" A female ninja who had just arrived raised her hand and said. She was a young girl with brown curly hair and a youthful face; she would surely grow up to be a very beautiful female ninja.

The female ninja's clothing aptly revealed her owner's name to Tensei: Mei Terumi.

So she's the future Fifth Mizukage, what a coincidence. However, the powerful Mei Terumi of the future is currently just an ordinary Chunin with little strength, who doesn't even dare to reveal her own bloodline limit for fear of being persecuted by the village.

"Huh? This waitress is so cute, but she looks a little unfamiliar?" Mei Terumi said with a smile.

"Heh, someone like you who doesn't even dare to reveal his own bloodline limit dares to test me?" Tian Qing thought to herself, but on the surface, she smiled calmly and replied, "Eh? Is that so? Then please take good care of our shop in the future."

The most important thing for a qualified spy is to have a calm and natural mindset; simply put, don't overthink things. For example, when faced with Mei's probing question, Tian Qing didn't need to explain why her face was unfamiliar, because that would be too deliberate. In fact, giving a casual, perfunctory answer is the typical response of a normal person to a stranger's question.

"Huh? Could my intuition be wrong?" Mei Terumi looked at the nonchalant Tensei and suppressed her doubts. "Forget it, with the current policies of Kirigakure, why should I worry about anything? They don't even dare to expose their own bloodline limits to others, so how can they have the right to care about others? I should think about how to save my own life first!"

Then, Mei Terumi smiled wryly, picked up the chopsticks, and put the faintly glowing ramen in front of her into her mouth: "Eh? Surprisingly, it tastes pretty good! This feeling of warmth in my mouth, like the winter sun, is unexpectedly blissful! Even my anxious mood has eased a lot. It seems that this ramen is not inferior to even the legendary culinary ninja, right?"

Mei Terumi immediately made up her mind to come and eat at this restaurant more often before anything happens to it. As for the waiter who had a slightly questioning attitude, Mei Terumi no longer cared about him.

While not appearing in the original manga, the anime's original description identifies Ichiraku, Naruto's favorite ramen chef, as one of the "Cooking Ninjas." When Tensei was bored, he had his subordinates' ANBU investigate, but they found no trace of Ichiraku and no idea where he was. The "Cooking Ninja" concept was merely a rumor, akin to an urban legend.

Tianqing continued carrying her plate, walking back and forth among the bustling diners. The sounds of the items on the diners' bodies kept reaching her ears, making the already lively restaurant seem even noisier to her.

"The World and Kotoha, I wonder who Master will choose? The World is very nice, but Kotoha is also very beautiful!" A ninja named "Makoto" was loudly recounting the chaotic scene in his master's life. I wonder if the young lady named Kotoha will one day pick up a machete and chop off Makoto's dog head, and have a bloody finale.

............

P.S. I suddenly realized I can't finish writing the 2000-word chapter I wanted to write. What should I do?

Chapter 18 If Madara Uchiha had been cremated back then...

As it turns out, no matter the world or whether it's wartime or peacetime, gossip and drama are always things that many people are most interested in, even powerful ninjas are no exception. The only difference is probably the objects of their attention.

For example, during these past few days, a large portion of the information Tianqing overheard while working as a waitress consisted of trivial and uninteresting matters. This is the helplessness of being a listener; regardless of whether Tianqing wanted to hear it or not, as long as she activated her listening ability, a large amount of information would be poured into her ears all at once.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! How could my Qianqian betray me! He's clearly such a talented entertainer and singer, how could his image suddenly collapse? Is this what they call asking for trouble and getting it?!" An object on a Mist Ninja with a tragic face and a broken heart was loudly expressing its owner's painful feelings.

"Oh my god! Why! How could my Hanhan already have a girlfriend?! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to cut my wrists and kill myself!" This was the voice coming from an item on a Mist Ninja whose face was red from crying.

Haha, can't you boring, brainless fans have a little bit of self-respect?

Finally, after hearing a lot of boring things, Tianqing heard some relatively valuable information.

The ninja had a composed expression and was calmly eating noodles, but his headband revealed some rather explosive news: "Based on previous intelligence, the Kaguya clan is expected to launch an attack on the village tonight. To prepare for this, I've been lying in ambush in the village with elite troops for several days. The village went to great lengths to lull the Kaguya clan into a false sense of security by secretly recalling us from the front lines."

As Tianqing looked at the ninja, the information that the Anbu had previously collected came to mind: "His name is Ao. He is a Kirigakure commander who is deeply trusted by the Third Mizukage. He has shown excellent strategic skills on the battlefield and will become the Fifth Mizukage's right-hand man. He is also the key figure who will see through Danzo's tricks and notice the Fourth Mizukage's abnormality."

"I didn't expect that Kirigakure would secretly recall him and his elite troops. It seems that Kirigakure is aware of the impending attack by the Kaguya clan. Did they leak the information from the prisoners of the Evil God Church?" Tianqing secretly guessed, glancing at Qing who was eating noodles with his head down. "But in the original work, this guy should be a one-eyed man. The eye under the eyepatch should be the Byakugan he got from Hyuga. It seems that he hasn't gotten it yet."

"It seems that tonight is the best time for me to make my move!" Most of the Kirigakure army is currently engaged in a major battle outside, while all of its internal resources are tied up in the Kaguya clan's attack. Therefore, tonight, whatever Tensei wants to do will not encounter much resistance.

Then, I choose you, Third Mizukage!

For Tianqing, the best breakthrough to find clues about Uchiha Madara's hiding place is naturally the Third Mizukage. As someone who is very close to Uchiha Madara, he should know a lot about Uchiha Madara, right?

Previously, during the Second Hokage's reign, Tensei had infiltrated Kirigakure and, without the Hokage's orders, attempted to assassinate the Third Mizukage, hoping to end the extremely juvenile and tragic "Bloody Mist Policy." However, Tensei unexpectedly discovered the whereabouts of Madara Uchiha, who was hiding behind the Third Mizukage. He was forced to leave in disguise to avoid alerting Madara, as he was no match for him at that time.

Now, the once mighty Madara has entered his twilight years and can only barely prolong his life with the help of the Gedo Mazo. This is the time when he is most powerless and weak.

...................

In the dead of night, the Hidden Mist Village, though rife with undercurrents, remained outwardly peaceful as ever, with most people having turned off their lights and drifted into sweet dreams.

Silently, a ninja slipped into the ramen shop, cautiously searching through its contents, trying to find some clues. Finding nothing, the ninja used a teleportation technique to appear on the second floor, opening the door to the storeroom. In the darkness, the ninja saw the figure inside—the unknown waiter, standing there coldly watching him, as if he had been waiting for him all along!

"You!!" The ninja's eyes widened, but before he could make a move, his consciousness was cut off in that instant!

Tianqing grabbed the Kirigakure ninja he had knocked unconscious and turned to walk towards the warehouse: "When dealing with the Kaguya clan's attack, Kirigakure naturally sent people to monitor any unusual individuals in the village to prevent them from doing anything unexpected. As a popular chef who suddenly appeared in the village, I was no exception. However, I didn't expect that the person sent to monitor me would be just a genin!"

"But that's perfect. If the material used as a sacrifice is too strong, it might be troublesome if it succeeds!" Tianqing tossed the Mist Ninja into the pre-drawn jutsu seal, then took out a small box and placed it into the seal as well. Before setting off for battle, Tianqing had to confirm whether the target was alive or dead. If she spent a lot of effort tracking down the target only to find that the target had died of old age, that would be a huge problem. After all, with the plot having changed so much, Tianqing couldn't be sure if Uchiha Madara might suddenly have an epileptic seizure and die at this moment.

"Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation! Summon Uchiha Madara!"

The Impure World Reincarnation, a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage, was sealed in a scroll after his death. As the Third Hokage, Tensei was naturally the only person in the village qualified to practice this forbidden technique. Tensei also unexpectedly discovered a box containing flesh and blood taken from Madara Uchiha's corpse. It seems the Second Hokage did not follow the First Hokage's orders to cremate Madara's body, but instead used it for extensive research.

No wonder Madara Uchiha later managed to rise from the dead using the forbidden technique Izanagi, which he had stored in his Sharingan beforehand, and caused all sorts of trouble after escaping. If the Second Hokage hadn't done so much research and had simply stuffed Madara's body into the crematorium, wouldn't all these problems have been avoided?

Sigh, Tianqing suddenly felt a pang of regret; traditional burial practices are deadly!

.............

Chapter Nineteen: The Night of the Undead, the Impure World Reincarnation Appears Ahead of Schedule!

After placing the box containing Madara Uchiha's flesh and blood into the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tensei began to inject chakra, watching as the technique began to operate.

"I've practiced silently for a long time before, I wonder if this Impure World Reincarnation will be successful?" Tianqing formed a hand seal with her left hand, while her right hand took out a specially made kunai covered with spell symbols, ready for battle. The hand seal on her left hand could effectively restrict the resurrected person's movements, rendering them immobile; while the specially made kunai in her right hand was made by Orochimaru and could be used to erase the resurrected person's personal consciousness, forcing them to rigidly obey the caster's commands, thus enabling the caster to control the resurrected person.

This control method didn't exist in the original Impure World Reincarnation created by the Second Hokage. After all, the Second Hokage created Impure World Reincarnation only to awaken his brother, the First Hokage, to help him in battle at crucial moments, so naturally, he didn't need any control methods. Therefore, after becoming the Third Hokage, Tensei instructed Orochimaru to begin research in this area. In any case, Orochimaru had already improved Impure World Reincarnation in this way in the original work, so starting a little earlier wouldn't hurt.

After the Impure World Reincarnation technique emitted a faint wisp of smoke, there was no further movement. The unconscious Mist Ninja lying inside remained motionless, unchanged.

"The Impure World Reincarnation failed? It seems Madara Uchiha is still clinging to life." Tianqing muttered to herself, "That's fine, then let's change targets!"

Tianqing carefully put away the box containing Uchiha Madara's flesh and blood. This thing was a powerful weapon. Thinking about it carefully, if the Fourth Shinobi World War really came, and Tianqing preemptively resurrected Madara in front of everyone else, and then seized the opportunity to seal him away, then where would that Six Paths Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki be?

"Impure World Reincarnation! The target is 'demigod' Hanzo!" Tianqing added another material to the jutsu. As the Third Hokage, she had plenty of Anbu under her command. Although obtaining the flesh and blood of Kage-level powerhouses from other villages was difficult, obtaining the flesh and blood of Hanzo, the leader of a small village, was not a difficult task.

Whoosh! Countless specks of dust appeared out of thin air, clinging to the Mist Ninja's body, accumulating more and more, and under the effect of the technique, began to continuously change his appearance. Soon, the "demigod" Hanzo, who once dominated the battlefield and overwhelmed the "legendary Sannin," appeared before Amemori!

Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation Successfully Completed!

Then Hanzo the Salamander opened his eyes, looking surprised: "Huh? What happened? Wasn't I burned to death in that fire? How come I can't move my body at all now?"

The next moment, without any further words, Ameyo directly inserted the specially made kunai into Hanzo's head, and Hanzo's eyes immediately went blank!

"There wasn't even a struggle?" Tianqing couldn't help but be a little surprised. When a master of Hanzo's level realizes that someone is launching a surprise attack on him, his body will definitely have a subconscious defensive reaction. However, Tianqing didn't sense any struggle at all in the binding seal on his left hand!

"It seems that this former demigod didn't even notice my attack? Is it because the quality of the sacrifice was too poor, so he couldn't unleash his true power? Perhaps the resurrected him now doesn't even have 20% of his peak strength?"

The Impure World Reincarnation technique has very high requirements for the sacrifices, and the quality of the sacrifices directly determines the strength of the resurrected dead. In the original work, when Orochimaru first used this technique to summon the First and Second Hokage to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi, because the sacrifices were only two Sound Ninja with Chunin-level strength, the resurrected First and Second Hokage were very weak. They lacked powerful techniques such as the Wood Dragon Technique and the Flying Thunder God Technique, and could only barely fight the aged and weakened Hiruzen Sarutobi to a draw.

Later in the original story, when Orochimaru used White Zetsu with Hashirama cells as a sacrifice to perform the Impure World Reincarnation, the First and Second Hokage who emerged were incredibly powerful. Although they hadn't yet returned to their peak strength in life, they were already able to use their ultimate techniques to instantly kill the current Five Kage. If it weren't for the emergence of Madara Uchiha, the original story might have ended there!

Therefore, now, with only a Kirigakure genin as a sacrifice, the strength of this Hanzo of the Salamander resurrected by Tensei is probably not even as good as a jonin!

"But it doesn't matter, because Hanzo the Salamander is a ninja who can kill enemies instantly without relying on his own strength!" Tianqing swallowed an antidote that Tsunade had prepared beforehand, then put on the Akatsuki's Fire Cloud Robe and Ultraman mask: "Let's go! Hanzo the Salamander, summon your poisonous salamander, and then follow me. No matter who blocks our way, fire poison gas indiscriminately!"

The scapegoat organization "Akatsuki" is back online! After all, as the Third Hokage, Tensei's solo assassination attempt in another village would have a really bad influence. If other ninja villages followed suit and did the same to Konoha, it wouldn't be good. That's why Tensei had Hanzo of the Salamander lead the charge. As long as he didn't show up directly, everything could be denied and covered up!

As for the highly toxic gas of Hanzo the Salamander, there are only two people who can immediately make an antidote: Chiyo and Tsunade. However, there is no one in Kirigakure who can make an antidote!

This is the best use of Impure World Reincarnation when there are no good offerings: summon ninjas with powerful summoning beasts, and then use those summoning beasts with special abilities to launch an attack!

"Summoning *Poisonous Salamander!" At Ameyo's command, Hanzo mechanically formed the hand seals, and then the gigantic salamander, renowned throughout the ninja world, burst through the ramen shop and reappeared before the world! Then, carrying Ameyo and Hanzo, it slowly crawled towards the center of Kirigakure, like a giant tombstone bringing death and plague, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake!
