Chapter 110 All Hokage in Chat Group (Patreon)
Content
Witnessing Sasuke's return to Konoha, Uchiha Itachi found a sense of satisfaction. As the farewells concluded, the aftermath of the Second Hokage dispelling the Impure World Reincarnation was felt, and the soul of Itachi returned to the pure world.
While observing Itachi's departure, a heavy feeling returned to Sasuke's heart. Sensing this, Naruto swiftly moved to console him, fearing that Sasuke might once again seek to escape.
Minato, having also witnessed this scene, found contentment in the unfolding events. At that very moment, Second Hokage Tobirama's attention shifted suddenly, his gaze diverting as a burst of golden light heralded the arrival of Ryan into the room.
Upon gauging the expressions on everyone's faces, Ryan discerned that his intervention had been necessary. Sasuke remained rooted in place as well. "Now is my cue," he thought, prompting Uchiha Itachi to present his eyes for the exchange.
"Tsunade-Sensei, please assist him in the transplantation," Ryan directed respectfully. "Second Hokage, provide him with a Senzu bean as well," he continued, fully aware that Sasuke would need time to acclimate to this ocular transformation.
Acting upon Ryan's instructions, the individuals in the room sprang into action. Tsunade adeptly combined Healing Jutsu with her expertise, deftly removing Sasuke's original eyeballs while Naruto observed in disbelief at the abrupt and direct procedure.
Fortuitously, Tsunade's Healing Jutsu stemmed the bleeding the instant the eyes were extracted. Simultaneously, she took the Sharingan from Ryan's hands and inserted them into Sasuke's eye sockets. Employing Healing Jutsu once more, they warmed Sasuke's new eyes.
On the adjacent side, the Second Hokage fetched a fairy bean and fed it to Sasuke. The potent effects of the Senzu bean were swift, facilitating Sasuke's near-instantaneous recovery. The culmination of Itachi's eyes and tortures in Tsukyomi, again and again, had transformed Sasuke's eyes into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
"THIS POWER!!!" Sasuke exclaimed, his laughter echoing through the room. Overwhelmed by the newfound potential of his eyes, he couldn't restrain his jubilation. The unrestrained mirth in his expression even drew the attention of Uchiha Madara, who glanced curiously.
His laughter bore a semblance of Madara's characteristic demeanor, an observation not lost on Ryan. Considering Sasuke's personality, there was a concern that he might feel invincible once more. However, Sasuke had grasped the situation fully by this point, curbing any impulsive actions.
Simultaneously, Tsunade and Kakashi, now recovered from their respective treatments, hastened to join the gathering. Witnessing both Tsunade versions before them, the contemporary Tsunade was understandably bewildered. Seeing the elder and second Hokage once again was surreal for her.
Gratefully, the Konoha leadership had been briefed ahead of time about this phenomenon, tempering the shock factor. "So, it's time to reach a decision," Ryan announced, addressing the assembled crowd. "Who should take on the mantle of Hokage in this world?"
With the entire group present, the question hung in the air. The chat group had now accommodated two Tsunades and two Kakashis. This redundancy led to the general consensus of excluding these figures from consideration, as adding yet another version of them would only sow confusion and chaos.
Aside from Kakashi and Tsunade, only Naruto and Sasuke remained in the room. However, Naruto was destined to become the future Seventh Hokage, a prospect that would undoubtedly integrate him into Kanoha just as Surotobi wanted. Consequently, most attention was directed at Sasuke for the decision ahead.
Ryan was also notably in agreement with this perspective. At the moment compared to Naruto, enlisting Sasuke seemed the most appropriate course of action. In all History of Konoha Uchihas can never become the Hokage but at this moment even a person like Danzo dares to ascend to the position of Hoakge why can't Sasuke?
Down the line, the Seventh Hokage, Naruto, would become part of the chat group sooner or later, solidifying the collection of Hokages spanning Indra and Ashura's lineage.
"So, it's settled on Sasuke then?" Ryan inquired, seeking confirmation from the group.
"I believe that's the right choice."
"He's the best fit."
"I'm also inclined towards Sasuke."
With the discussion culminating in consensus, Uchiha Sasuke was elected as the new Hokage for this world. The world's Tsunade offered minimal input, understanding it was largely a decision made by their predecessors. In contrast, Naruto, standing beside, exhibited dissatisfaction.
"Ah!!! Why?"
"Why Sasuke for Hokage?"
"Damn it! I will be the Sixth Hokage!"
Observing Naruto's reluctance, Sasuke appeared unusually content. As if intentionally teasing Naruto, Sasuke concurred without hesitation. The sight of Naruto's playful annoyance brought smiles to the assembled crowd.
[Ding! You have joined the Konoha Hokage chat group.]
[Please continue to participate in the Hokage meeting representing your world!]
Simultaneously, a notification sounded within Sasuke's mind, elucidating the Hokages' reference to the chat group. Sasuke's curiosity was piqued, especially regarding the group's abilities. Nonetheless, his primary desire was to explore whether the chat group held the key to reviving his brother.
After some further exchange, Ryan guided the group to bid farewell to the counterparts of this world, Tsunade, Kakashi, and the rest, as there were impending meetings to attend. The fifth meeting was upon them, with the rewards yet to be revealed.
"Then, let's depart."
As the room was engulfed in a radiant display of colors, a luminous door appeared. Ryan and the others took their leave, stepping through the light gate successively.
Instantly, Sasuke's awareness immersed itself into the chat group. Swiftly, he found himself in the meeting area.
"Please take your seats; the meeting is about to commence."
Addressing the curious Sasuke, Ryan advised him to find a seat. Sasuke complied, and with eleven Hokages present in the chat group, only one chair remained vacant at the circular table designated for meetings.
The attendees' gazes converged on Ryan, who exchanged communications with the chat group. Afterward, he smiled and shared with everyone, "It appears that we have twelve Hokage worlds in this chat group."
"When the next meeting convenes, the final Hokage world will be integrated."
"The future lineup is set."
With that in mind, Ryan shifted his gaze to the assembled Hokages. This meant that these twelve Hokage representatives would constitute the team that would stand against the celestial and interdimensional challenges in the future. Asking for flowers...
However, the topic at hand had switched, naturally centering around the global power ranking link—the point of greatest interest for everyone present.
"Let's begin!" Ryan proclaimed, initiating the process of ranking the worlds.
As his words reverberated, the central light curtain on the conference table began to morph. The eyes of all attendees focused on the evolving display.
The world leaderboard was gradually taking form:
[Participation Ranking: Hashirama - First Hokage, Parallel World - Madara, Tobirama - Second Hokage, Kakashi - Original Third Hokage, Ryan World - Fourth Hokage, Minato - Fourth Hokage, Tsunade - Fifth Hokage, Glasses Tsunade - Road to Ninja, Uchiha Obito - Tsukyomi Hokage, Kakashi - Sixth Hokage, Sasuke - Original 5.5th Hokage]
[Please Note!]
[The value of ranking rewards correlates with the participating world's power!]
For enhanced rewards, it was crucial to bolster the power of each world to the best of its ability.
As shifts in the light curtain became apparent, tension rippled through the gathering. However, in the race for the top spot, Hashirama and Madara were especially fired up this time. They were determined to seize the number one position.
Yet, against Ryan, who held an intimate understanding of Hokage history, the First Hokage duo stood little chance of triumph. While the others didn't have their sights set on the number one spot, it was primarily to shield themselves from heightened disappointment—the higher the expectations, the more profound the disillusionment.
[First Place: Ryan - Fourth Hokage]
As anticipated, the number one rank materialized on the light curtain, a testament to Ryan's world once again clinching the top spot.
"Damn it!"
"I still haven't caught up!"
Observing their failure to secure first place, Hashirama, and Madara exhibited a mixture of frustration and helplessness.
However, their disappointment wasn't absolute. They recognized that as they advanced their world's development, Ryan would remain tirelessly active. Within the chat group, they had gleaned that Ryan had successfully unified the ninja world—an accomplishment they were yet to achieve. Naturally, snatching first place from him was a lofty, unattainable goal.
Before long, the image of Ryan's world emerged on the light curtain. The assembly began to deftly retrieve pens and paper, poised to engage in a learning session.
[The fourth meeting has concluded, and the accelerated pace of improvement within each Hokage world in the group has brought about pressure.]
[You understand the need to hasten and achieve unification as swiftly as possible!]
[You, having subjugated the Land of Winds and all minor nations, are prepared to take action against the Cloud Shinobi Village!]
[You recognize that those recklessly honing their physical prowess can't be reasoned with and must be subdued through strength.]
In the initial month, you led the troops to the Cloud Shinobi Village, opting to take the initiative alone [and unveil your newly devised ninjutsu, the Grand Spiral Wheel Kasumi].
As the scene of Ryan advancing solo into Cloud Shinobi Village unfolded, the attending Hokages grew increasingly animated. Such audacious behavior was undeniably exhilarating!
However, as the images showed Ryan releasing a black sphere into the air over Cloud Shinobi Village, the cataclysmic power that leveled the entire settlement silenced the room. The atmosphere was charged with awe.
Wide-eyed and spellbound, everyone witnessed the unbelievable destruction. They were left grappling with the question: What sort of ninjutsu was this?
