"Watch out, the first death is coming," Senji pointed to the giant ball of light flying from afar, and Orochimaru reflexively used a ninjutsu, "Triple Rashomon!"

Three enormous demon gates rose from the ground, jingling with bells, seemingly indestructible. However, under the attack of the light sphere, the five gates couldn't withstand the attack for even a second. Orochimaru screamed and turned to ashes. Senju snapped his fingers, and Orochimaru reappeared there, now kneeling and panting heavily. "Who was that just now?!"

“So it’s an illusion,” Senju said, shaking her finger and pointing at him. “Try this one, a year has passed.”

"What?" Orochimaru didn't quite understand, but he launched an attack on Senju. However, his shuriken, snakes, and ninjutsu couldn't reach Senju, who continued to negotiate, "Ten years have passed."

"Cough cough," Orochimaru coughed dryly, looking at his hands, and roared with a ferocious expression, "My lifespan!"

Thirty years have passed!

"Stop! Don't continue!" the completely decaying Orochimaru cried out in despair, while Senju shook his finger. "A hundred years have passed!"

"No!!!" With a desperate scream, Orochimaru saw himself rapidly approaching death, then knew nothing more. He only suddenly awoke to find himself perfectly healthy, and couldn't help but feel excited. "Hahaha, I'm not dead yet! This was all an illusion..."

"Is it really just an illusion?" Senju shook his head speechlessly. Dozens of beams of light fell from the sky, pinning Orochimaru to the spot. "I can turn that into reality. Want to try something like life absorption?"

"Stop! My life force!" Orochimaru's face turned extremely ugly as he felt his life force rapidly surging out of his body. He looked at Senju with fear. Even though he knew it was a genjutsu, he couldn't break it at all. Moreover, he had already died twice. He didn't know if he could come back to life the third time.

"My lord, please stop," Orochimaru said anxiously. "I may still be of some use, and I am willing to serve you."

“Hmm, not bad,” Senju nodded, waving her hand to stop absorbing life force. Looking at his completely withered and aged body, she said, “Fine, I’ll give you a hundred years of lifespan for now. As for the rest, eh, you don’t seem to be of much use.”

"No, sir, I know many ninjutsu and am proficient in research. They will definitely be useful to you," Orochimaru felt overjoyed as he sensed the changes in his body, but upon hearing Senju's words, he became anxious. He didn't want to die for no reason. "I also know a lot of secret information, the whereabouts of many magical artifacts, and the Rinnegan..."

Whereabouts, I know...

“Alright, I understand,” Senju raised her hand to stop him from continuing. “Then you should go and set up a research institute, gather some researchers, and collect various bloodline limits as well. As long as the methods aren’t too outrageous, there are countless orphans here anyway.”

As she spoke, Senju placed a contract with Orochimaru's soul and created ten improved dragon spirits, each only the size of a mosquito. They then landed on Orochimaru's shoulder.

"Also, here are ten dragons that can freely change size, each with the strength of Hashirama. To prevent you from suddenly dying, I'm giving them to you as bodyguards. Alright, don't cause trouble in Konoha. I'm going to stay here."

"Hashirama? The First Hokage?!" Orochimaru's expression shifted as he looked at the ten mosquito-sized dragons that had landed on his shoulder. Was this thing really that powerful? Or was it just a hoax?

"This is just for your self-defense, don't think about using it to cause trouble," Senju gave him a disapproving look. "By the way, you know about things like Black Zetsu, the Gedo Mazo, the Rinnegan, and the Tenseigan, right?"

“I know everything except the Tenseigan,” Orochimaru nodded. “I am now a member of the Akatsuki. Everything you mentioned is in there. Please let me lead the way.”

“I don’t have time for that,” Senju waved his hand, “I still have to eat later.”

"..." Orochimaru was speechless. "Then, let me capture them."

"You?" Senju shook her head at him. "You're too weak. You should know that Black Zetsu even managed to kill Madara Uchiha. Pain killed Hanzo, and he had six bodies. The Gedo Mazo is the shell of the Ten-Tails. You have even less of a chance. The Tenseigan is on the moon. Do you know how to get there?"

"This," Orochimaru's eyes lit up as he listened to the secrets. He had long coveted the Rinnegan in that organization, but he never expected them to be so strong. And Zetsu, who usually pretended to be weak, was actually the hidden mastermind. He had really underestimated them. "I will work hard, and I will definitely have a chance."

“Is that so? Since you put it that way,” Senju glanced at Orochimaru and slowly began to speak, “then, if you find Black Zetsu, I’ll give you a thousand years of lifespan, the Rinnegan, and this is for you.”

"What is this?" Orochimaru looked at the floating crystal with some curiosity. Senju casually explained, "This is a resurrection stone. Take it to Pain and tell him that it can revive Pain. Ask Nagato and the other two to come to Konoha Village."

"Nagato? Pain? What's going on?" Orochimaru stood there looking completely bewildered. Senju waved his hand, "Just tell them what I say, and they should agree. It doesn't matter if they don't."

"Yes, I will definitely do it," Orochimaru quickly bowed his head to show his loyalty. Senju waved his hand to dispel the illusion. "Alright, hurry up and leave here. I just revived all the Hokage. By the way, all sorts of magical items can also exchange lifespan. Be careful not to get eaten by Black Zetsu."

Senju casually tossed Orochimaru a communicator and shooed him out. "Ah, what a pleasant day. But these evil scientists are worth catching; they're needed in all sorts of ways."

Orochimaru, who had hurriedly run away, breathed a sigh of relief only after he was far away from Konoha. "Phew, this time I really gained a lot. Resurrection? I didn't expect Pain to be a puppet. The Rinnegan is truly amazing."

But then he looked at the 'mosquitoes' perched on his shoulder, feeling the connection between himself and them, and still had doubts in his heart, "Are these really that powerful?"

Chapter 1022 Changing Fate

He reached out and pinched it, then found that his fingers could easily close. However, Orochimaru's expression turned ugly because his two fingers had been easily pierced by the dragon. When he released his fingers, blood began to flow, but the little dragon did not move at all.

He then tested the little dragons with various ninjutsu, but to no avail. Even sealing techniques were torn apart in a few moves. Watching the little dragons flying around freely, Orochimaru smiled longingly. "They've really found an amazing master. Anyway, let's deal with the Rinnegan first, then test Zetsu. But Nagato... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before..."

After driving away the intruding Orochimaru, Senju looked down at Konoha Village. The specific data about the village immediately entered Senju's mind. Senju decided to collect data on the five great ninja villages so that he could build them into figurines in the future.

As he looked at Konoha, he noticed an unusual green color. The person was walking upside down. Wasn't that Might Guy, the future King of Might?! According to many transmigrators, if Might Guy had grown up in a martial arts world, he would have already shattered the void. Madara and the like wouldn't be worth a single punch from him.

Senju was naturally interested in his brilliant performance, but he didn't have any suitable martial arts books to write on the spot. After all, the Eight Gates was a cheat-like martial arts manual. Senju could give him infinite regenerative power, but it was too early for that. After thinking for a moment, he made a bracelet that could adjust the body's gravity and repair body damage, and then aimed at Might Guy and threw it.

"What is this?!" Might Guy, who was walking upside down, suddenly felt his body sink and almost fell to the ground. However, he rolled over and immediately stood up. But now his attention was on his right wrist, where there was a bracelet with a tag.

Gravity training bracelet, allowing you to freely adjust your own gravity between 1 and 50 times. Price: 100 yuan. Huh? Where did this fall from? But how much is 100 yuan anyway?

"Only 50 times?" Might Guy immediately tried to activate the maximum multiplier, but the bracelet issued a warning: "Request denied. The host's physical condition is not capable of withstanding 50 times the gravity! Please start training from the basics!"

"Is it not working? Is it because of the weight?" Might Guy removed the weight from his legs and put it aside, then tried to adjust the gravity. "It's only five times? Hmm, it's a bit uncomfortable. Is this a reaction from my internal organs? Can this be exercised too? That's amazing."

Feeling the weight of his internal organs, Might Guy was very excited. He then adjusted the weights and reloaded the device. "Looks like I'll need to get used to these for a while. Anyway, I need to reach fifty times the normal weight. Oh my god, this is getting exciting!"

However, apart from him, there was no one else in the village who caught Senju's eye. Even Uchiha Itachi was far inferior. Although he possessed the spirit of the Hokage, this was not what Senju wanted.

As for the 'Twelve Konoha Genin,' they are only a few years old now. Thinking about the original 'future,' Senju shook his head slightly. Under the current circumstances, who knows what the future will be like? Perhaps the Naruto fans who have read the manga will focus on training them. Anyway, there's no need to worry about Naruto, Sasuke, Ino-Shika-Cho, Hinata, Neji, or Inuzuka Shino.

Hmm, thinking about it this way, the twelve main characters were all pre-arranged. Only Lee, Sakura, and Tenten are from commoner backgrounds. Senju thinks he can sponsor these three.

Senju searched for the three people's whereabouts and then found the baby version of 'Sakura-sama'. However, she was only a little over a year old and looked very ordinary. However, Senju remembered that there was also a berserk version of Sakura-sama inside her, but it did not seem to have appeared yet.

So Senju took out a card, the final version of Sakura - Uchiha Sakura, and threw it into her mind, turning it into a consciousness with the word 'inner self' on its forehead.

"Huh? Where am I?" Sakura Uchiha suddenly snapped out of her daze, realizing something was wrong. She seemed to be in a familiar darkness. "Where am I?! That's me?!"

She saw a timid consciousness beside her and instantly realized it was her younger self. Then, looking at herself, she suddenly remembered that there was another person in her mind when she was a child. Was that herself?!

"What a joke! I just married Sasuke! What kind of joke is this?!" Sakura's mind was raging, while Sakura beside him was trembling. After venting his anger, Sakura felt the cowardly emotions of another version of himself. "Don't worry, from now on you are me, and I am you. This time we have to be even stronger."

"Hmm," Sakura also felt that this was actually a part of herself. The two touched gently, and the present Sakura and the future Sakura-sama became one.

Ignoring the changes here, Senju continued to look for Tenten. Her family was indeed very wealthy, but being very wealthy in this world seemed to be of little use. After thinking for a moment, Senju gave her a set of chakra projection sword-making techniques, along with information on various powerful swords. Once she cultivated her chakra, she would gradually absorb these skills.

Finally, there's Xiao Li. He's a bit older, about three or four years old, and can already run around everywhere. However, there's nothing suitable for him here at Thousand Hands, so the Great Sage analyzed the game systems he had collected and created a training system. As long as he keeps training, he will keep getting stronger.

After dealing with the three, Senju wandered around outside for a while before seeing Chito and Yuri come out of the Inuzuka house. Senju went to meet them, and the three of them went back inside. There weren't many customers in the shop, so the three of them read and chatted there. After a while, they heard Yuri breathing evenly; she had fallen asleep.

Senju shrugged casually, looking at the Book of Sealing in his hand. This was a complete guide to ninjutsu that he had copied from the Third Hokage while he was wandering around. However, after looking at it for a while, he also became a little drowsy, so he half-closed his eyes and asked the Great Sage to record these skills and analyze them.

Chito was engrossed in reading a book, which seemed to be from this world. After some time, Yuri groggily opened her eyes. "It's already noon, Chito, let's go eat ramen!"

"Hmm," Chito also touched his stomach, feeling a little hungry. Senju also looked up at the time; it was past one o'clock in the afternoon. "Hmm, perfect timing to go eat."

The three walked through the village, and Yuri pointed out various places in the village to Senju, "This is a barbecue restaurant, that's a snack shop, there's a hotel over there, and the ramen shop is over there, it's really good!"

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment. Why were there so many food pictures? Then she saw Ichiraku Ramen over there, but there seemed to be people inside. "Senju, Yu, look over there, Naruto's family is inside."

Chapter 1023 Hokage Minato

After Senju casually left, the resurrected Hokage looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought to themselves, "Wow, he was too casual. Didn't he consider our feelings at all?"

“They’ve left,” the Third Generation said, puffing on his pipe before glancing at a few familiar faces. “Let’s see what’s in this book.”

"Well, let's take a look at what's on it first. We might find something useful," Tobirama nodded in agreement, while Hashirama chimed in.

Minato nodded, and they started flipping through the book.

The Hokage were very good at gathering information and quickly realized the value of several setting books. These books contained information on many ninjas, which were priceless treasures for Konoha.

Then they looked at the thick book and started reading, but then they froze and began to turn the pages quickly.

"Nine-Tails? Naruto?" The group of people were startled. They glanced at Naruto, who was crawling around on the table, and then saw an unfamiliar name. "But who is Kishimoto Fumimaro?"

Dispelling their doubts, the group continued reading, only to find Naruto scribbling everywhere. Minato sighed helplessly, "Naruto..."

Although watching his son's story was both heartbreaking and amusing, Minato still sped up the page-turning speed, reading several pages per second. Even so, it still took him nearly two hours to finish reading, and that was after skipping over many everyday events.

Kushina Uzumaki, who was on the other side, had given up on reading. She didn't have the mental focus to concentrate on the book, so she just hugged Naruto and played with him.

The four Hokage beside them were watching intently. By the time they finished, they were all soaked in sweat. They then closed their eyes and rested, sorting through the massive amount of information they had gathered.

After more than half an hour, the four of them finally finished organizing the intelligence. Hashirama spoke first, "Since this is the future, we should prepare as soon as possible. I propose that we convene the Five Kage Summit!"

“That’s not appropriate,” Tobirama shook his head. “There’s too much important information in this book. After reading it, I’ve started to suspect that the ninja world is actually a genjutsu world created by someone named Kishimoto Fumimaro. It’s too dangerous to leak this information out.”

“Illusion?” The Third Hokage was somewhat bewildered, but then shook his head. “Impossible. This must be that person’s prophecy. The current Konoha is still somewhat different. However, if this were to spread, many people would doubt the reality of the world. In that case, the final Infinite Tsukuyomi might cause the ninja world to split apart.”

“Yes, I also agree not to spread it,” Minato’s expression was very serious. After all, the main character inside was his son, and it would be very troublesome if it were leaked. “Besides, the Great Toad Sage can also make prophecies. This should be something similar, but it has been fixed in the form of a picture.”

"Moreover, if all four Hokage appear together, the other ninja villages will definitely unite, and there will likely be a civil war within the ninja world before the final battle."

"That's true, but we also need to speed up the gathering of our forces. It's great that the Uchiha clan wasn't wiped out. We'll need a large number of Susanoo for the final battle. We need to tell them about the Naka Shrine, Madara Uchiha, and Black Zetsu. We need to focus on cultivating the Mangekyou Sharingan these next few years. We can't afford to lose Shisui Uchiha or Itachi Uchiha."

“But Obito really was the mastermind. If I had recognized him back then, none of this would have happened,” Minato said, somewhat disappointed. He hadn’t recognized him back then. “And Rin’s situation was all my fault.”

“It’s none of your business,” Tobirama comforted him from the side. “Even Madara was used to death, so what about Obito? But Black Zetsu must be eliminated. Once we get rid of him, the problem will be much simpler.”

"But is it really a good thing for us to change the future?" Hashirama hesitated. "Wouldn't the final Allied Shinobi Forces change because of our intervention? Wouldn't it be a chance to end the conflicts between villages and achieve complete peace..."

“Well, I think Lord Senju gave us this so that we could change the future,” Minato said from the side. “Although I’m very happy that the protagonist is Naruto, the path is too difficult, and I still want to share the burden with him.”

"Brother, we can't hesitate this time. This is no longer just a matter for our village, but for the entire ninja world. If we're not careful, this fragile world will be destroyed. We also need to guard against the arrival of other aliens. We have to act quickly."

"Haha, you're right. We can't leave things to the younger generation," Hashirama patted his face. "Anyway, let's see how things go first. Maybe we can persuade Madara and Obito, and then we won't have a war."

“Brother, you’re too naive. Since Black Zetsu has been plotting for so long, war is bound to come eventually. Why don’t we take the initiative and wipe them out?” Tobirama concluded, then looked at the two people beside him.

"Our information and that of my elder brother must be kept secret. Sarutobi, you will take over Danzo's work and merge Root into the Anbu. Fourth Hokage, you will resume your position as Hokage. Tell the public that you have carried out a highly confidential mission, and then select some of this information and send it to other ninja villages."

“But,” Minato hesitated, “with the First and Second Hokage here, the responsibility of Hokage shouldn’t fall on my shoulders. And to be honest, I want to spend more time with Naruto.”

“That won’t do. My brother and I are from the past and we’re not familiar with the situation in the village. Besides, we have things to do,” Tobirama shook his head slightly. “I’m going to hunt down Orochimaru and retrieve the Impure World Reincarnation technique. My brother will be in charge of joining forces with the Uchiha clan to cultivate the Mangekyou Sharingan. We also need to track down the Akatsuki organization, steal the Rinnegan, and cut off Kaguya’s hope of resurrection.”

.f4:9.,3:""6:!,1:3";5."”

"Besides, Sarutobi is too old. We can't let him keep doing this job forever. Of the three of us, you're the only one who died a few years ago. The people in the village are very familiar with you. You're the only one who's suitable for this position."

“That’s right,” Hashirama nodded, then his spirits dampened. “We can’t let Tsunade become the Fifth Hokage, the village would be in big trouble.”

"..." Minato chuckled dryly. Tsunade was his master's object of admiration, so he couldn't really comment on it. But since he had made up his mind, he got into character. "This time, we need to call Jiraiya-sensei back first and see if we can persuade Nagato-senpai."

Of course, Jiraiya wasn't the only one who managed to persuade Nagato this time. However, when Minato saw Kushina's resentful gaze, he immediately changed his tune, "However, First Hokage, Second Hokage, Third Hokage, I want to spend some time with my family right now. Let's talk about these things later."

Chapter 1024 Ichiraku Ramen

"Well then, spend these next few days with Kushina and Naruto, and help them get to know the village better. Three days later, go to the Daimyo to handle the Hokage handover," the Third Hokage nodded, looking at Naruto beside him. "Minato, Kushina, you've raised a fine son."

“Of course!” Kushina Uzumaki said proudly, “This is my son!”

Watching the Minato family leave, Tobirama rubbed his forehead and suddenly remembered something, "The Great Toad Sage! I wonder what his prophecy is like now. I must go to Mount Myōboku."

"Besides this, there's a lot more information," Hashirama said dejectedly, slumped over the table. "It feels like it would take a month to organize all of this, but we can't just not do it. That Fourth Hokage is too lazy."

"First Hokage..." The Third Hokage was speechless. He knew that Minato was very dissatisfied with Naruto's situation in the manga, but he didn't explode for the sake of the bigger picture. It was normal for him to be a little emotional now. "Sigh, it's still my fault."

When the Minato family appeared in the mission hall downstairs, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. The ninjas around them stared at Minato and Kushina in utter astonishment, and several of them even bumped into the wall.

"Yo, everyone, I'm back," Minato said with a gentle smile, as if he had only disappeared for a day or two. The ninjas around him looked at him with tears in their eyes, "Fourth Hokage! You're back!"
