A soft laugh rang out.
Uzumaki Sora then sighed again: "So the reason why Uchiha Kumo was unwilling to take over as Hokage is because politics is the thing that can change a person's nature the most."
"Your position determines your perspective. Sitting in the Hokage's seat, you used to bear the fate of the village, but now you bear the fate of the entire ninja world..."
"We have to think things through, we have to be careful, and we certainly wouldn't want to entrust our entire fate to an outsider..."
These words left Minato and Shikaku speechless.
The allure of politics lies in its ambiguity; it's open to discussion but doesn't have to be this direct.
Shikaku, however, looked calmly at Uzumaki Sora and said, "You're right. As the one who decides the fate of the entire ninja world, no one in this position can safely hand over their fate to someone else."
"No one in a position would be so foolish, and no fool could sit in that position."
At this point, Shikaku sighed: "Kumo trusts you a lot. The source of that trust is most likely the shared will between you, working together in opposite directions to bring peace to the entire ninja world."
Sora looked at Shikaku with a leisurely air.
But Minato interrupted him, seemingly not wanting Shikaku to say too much.
"I think... you must have your own reasons."
It's exactly the same smile as the little sun in my memory, capable of filling people's hearts and making them let their guard down.
Uzumaki Sora thought for a moment and replied, "The Otsutsuki clan is not a few individuals, but an entire clan, a clan that uses planetary energy to form chakra fruits for consumption. Kaguya Otsutsuki lived for thousands of years. Do you think there are any beings in this clan who are incomprehensibly strong?"
"I saw the future once, a being whom the Otsutsuki clan called a god. Having devoured countless chakra fruits, its level of life had already transcended the boundaries of this world."
After a moment of silence, Shikaku asked, "I've imagined it before, but will such a being also descend upon Earth?"
"Ha ha……"
With a light laugh, Uzumaki Sora looked at Shikaku: "The time-traveling treasure was not brought by Otsutsuki Urashiki, but was an ancient relic that people in the ninja world salvaged from the sea twenty years later."
The mere hint caused Shikaku and Minato to frown instantly.
As the strategist of Konoha, Shikaku quickly grasped the meaning behind this intelligence.
A treasure that can travel through time—this kind of power, involving the cause-and-effect relationship between the past and the future, is on an extremely high level…
Such a powerful treasure is actually a relic in the ocean of the ninja world?
What Kaguya brought?
Do not……
Kaguya was merely a servant; such power could not have been lost at the bottom of the sea.
"This world... is special."
Uzumaki Sora's voice rang out again: "Generally speaking, a planet's energy is enough to produce one chakra fruit before it runs out. But in our world, after thousands of years, the amount of chakra has only increased..."
Too many?
The total amount of chakra is not constant!
The dead return to the Pure Land, and those reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation possess unlimited chakra. New generations of ninja emerge in endless succession, each refining their own chakra.
Generation after generation, the total amount of chakra continues to grow.
So what the Sage of Six Paths passed down... was a seed?
Chakra is a combination of cellular energy and spiritual energy; this is the essence of chakra refinement and will not change.
Based on this...
What truly makes this world different is the presence of intelligent life...human beings?
"A very high probability... that so-called Otsutsuki God exists in our world."
Another bombshell announcement sent a cold sweat down Shikaku's forehead, who was already feeling uneasy.
Uzumaki Sora continued, "This is also why Uchiha Kumo will believe me twenty years from now, because there are even more powerful enemies, and my ultimate identity is still human."
The conference hall fell silent once again.
Shikaku thought about many things, and realized how similar the current situation was.
The four great ninja villages and Konoha were not on good terms, but because of the existence of the Akatsuki organization, they had no choice but to rely on Konoha and Uchiha Kumo.
Now, because of the possible existence of the Otsutsuki God, the ninja world has no choice but to believe in Uzumaki Sora, who is human.
After a long while...
Minato looked up and smiled: "Next, I will ensure that the joint search force of the five great ninja villages continues to exist, with the search for Black Zetsu as the primary mission."
Uzumaki Sora looked at Minato with a serious expression.
After a long pause, Vortex Sky laughed...
"So the choice I made back then was definitely the right one... Only you, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, are the best partner for me."
“Saving you through intelligence fifteen years ago was definitely the best decision I ever made. If it were that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would probably be thinking about how to completely bind me right now.”
Upon hearing this, Minato felt a little embarrassed and waved his hand to change the subject.
After getting up and stretching, he said, "It's already very late. Thank you for your hard work today, Lord Uzumaki Sora."
Kongming stood up clearly: "It's not easy to come to Konoha, I should take a good look around tomorrow. If there's nothing else here with the Hokage, I'll head back now."
Minato nodded: "Thank you for your help today."
The spatial passage flashed and swallowed the vortex whole.
After a while, Minato said to Shikaku, "It's not appropriate to openly say that we don't trust him. He is Uzumaki Sora, and we must have complete trust in Kumo!"
"What you were about to say could damage the cooperative relationship between Konoha and Uzumaki Sora. It could also... damage the trust between Kumo and us."
Shikaku sighed and lowered his head: "I was too hasty, I'm really sorry."
"Snapped."
Minato put his hand on Shikaku's shoulder and laughed, "It's so late already. We'll get a scolding when we get back anyway, so why don't we grab a drink and relax?"
Shikaku relaxed after hearing the lighthearted words: "There are still many things to deal with. It seems that the Land of Lightning is also setting up its own technology research and development. I sent the report over to take a look, and there are no problems."
Minato waved his hand: "It's a good thing they're willing to share some of the pressure. We've been busy for over a year already, and you know the saying 'the easier it is to break,' so relax a bit. I'm leaving."
……
Meanwhile, in the Uchiha clan's territory.
Having learned of the entire conversation through his clone, Yun sat up and, after a moment of thought, began to focus his attention on himself.
The speculation about subsequent transactions was half successful and half unsuccessful.
Success lies in the fact that the transaction can indeed yield the same thing twice, while failure lies in the fact that the duplicate Nine-Tails chakra, after entering the body, does not merge with the previous chakra.
It's not that it's unusable or unusable, but rather that the previous situation doesn't seem to be present, making it appear somewhat out of place.
So... the so-called Sage of Six Paths splitting the tailed beasts and favoring the Nine-Tails is nonsense. The real reason is still the inherent attributes and composition.
Yun rubbed her temples.
There's no rush for the first round, as we've already obtained the chakra of the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails. However, it would be difficult if we didn't find Black Zetsu in the second round.
perhaps……
We could try it out in another world. If it works there, then we should also put the deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki on the agenda.
Among the six alternate dimensions in Ten no Mikado, the gravity dimension may be a crucial point for breakthroughs in the practice of the Eight Gates Formation.
The Truth-Seeking Balls can isolate everything. Even in the original story, as remembered, Might Guy's final blow was due to the combined Flying Thunder God technique of the Second Hokage and Minato.
But there are exceptions...
Physical skills are the least deceiving art; when strength reaches a certain level, even insurmountable barriers become as easy as walking on flat ground.
The Eight Gates Formation, under the influence of its foundation, seems to have no upper limit.
At this level of life form, it's probably worth trying cultivation in a gravity-based space.
……
In the world of Limited Tsukuyomi.
Through the key in his eyes, Uchiha Un frequently observes the world.
Three years have passed in the real world, while nearly four years have passed in this world.
Sasuke Uchiha, who experienced the night of the massacre of his clan at the age of eight, has just graduated from the Ninja Academy, ranking first in his grade at the age of twelve.
In this world, he naturally did not find Uchiha Kumo, who did not exist in the first place. However, due to the distrust generated by his memories, he also hid his Mangekyou Sharingan and endured until graduation.
The village is untrustworthy; the only people we can trust are Uchiha Izumi and Aunt Hazuki, and Shikamaru can also be trusted to some extent.
In this situation, having witnessed true power, the arrogant Zhu Zi was fortunate not to become overconfident and assume that the Kaleidoscope would make him invincible.
It's still Team 7, and the Jonin instructor is still the unreliable Kakashi.
Although he wore a mask in that lingering memory, Sasuke recognized him at first glance because of his white hair and one eye that was always closed.
This guy was the ANBU member who led the Third Hokage to try and rescue him from Root. He was the Jonin instructor of Team 7, and he has probably already left the ANBU.
Loyal to three generations, but at odds with the root clan.
In her remaining memories, there was the man who truly saved her and Izumi-nee, the man who easily defeated Danzo of Root in a single round...
Brother Yun!
Uchiha Kumo appeared, but then disappeared.
Why is it?
Sasuke observed Kakashi's every move from afar through the gaps in the leaves.
He ignored it, unless he used the Mangekyou Sharingan, but it was just an assessment, not worth revealing the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"what!!!"
Naruto charged around wildly, yelling and shouting, using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique as cover, but he was still easily defeated.
As for the other Sakura Haruno, she was already taken down by a simple illusion.
