Toneri was in serious trouble, even with Ryan fighting by his side. Things got even more intense when ten powerful Kage and super kage level Chakras suddenly appeared on the battlefield. This group of strong Shinobi joined forces, leaving Toneri completely confused and unable to grasp what was happening.
Naruto, watching this, was even more confused than Toneri. He saw more than a dozen Hokages appearing at once, which stunned him. It felt like he had been transported back to the Fourth Shinobi War.
The sudden appearance of these incredible figures was astonishing. The scene was so unexpected and extraordinary that there was no time for explanations or reactions. It was beyond anything anyone could have imagined. Not one, but two Kakashis, and even two Tsunades? Alongside Naruto's father, Minato, the first Hokage, Hashirama, and the second Hokage, Tobirama. This gathering matched the caliber of those seen during the fourth Ninja War's Impure World Reincarnation.
However, this group of Shinobi before them was not in an impure state of reincarnation bodies. Naruto stood there in confusion, his gaze fixed upon the Sixth Hokage Kakashi, who stepped forward.
"Let's go, Naruto!" Kakashi declared. "As soon as the crisis is over; we can return to Konoha. As for the questions in your mind, don't worry; I'll answer them later."
The crisis that had loomed over them was surprisingly resolved. The Hokages swiftly returned to the Leaf Village. Hashirama was eager to return to his world, driven to continue forging alliances with other smaller villages and Daimyos.
Ryan had ignited a spark within him, compelling him to push forward relentlessly. While becoming the first to unite the ninja world might remain an elusive goal, there was no shame in pursuing it as the second in line.
Tobirama, on the other hand, displayed a different demeanor. Instead of rushing back to his world, he initiated discussions with the other Hokages.
Tobirama remarked, "Have any of you noticed? The technological advancements in the Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world are truly remarkable. We must research and learn from this."
Except for Hashirama, the others responded swiftly. Ryan added, "Indeed, I specifically observed how other shinobi villages in their world defend against meteorites. The range of the Chakra weapons of the Kumogakure can even reach beyond the Earth. This technology could prove highly advantageous."
The others nodded in agreement. The Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, activated a holographic display to show them the current state of technological advancement in Kumogakure.
"Look at this," Kakashi said, gesturing to the advanced tech on the screen. "My world seems like a relic in comparison. It's only been a few years, and yet, the gap between us is immense."
Kakashi continued, who had been silently observing, adding, "The technology in my era now feels almost archaic. The progress has been so rapid that it's hard to keep up."
Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, visibly concerned, remarked, "I'm experiencing the same issue. The technological advancements in the current world have left my era's progress far behind. It's worrisome how quickly things are evolving."
Meanwhile, the First Hokage, Uchiha Madara, interjected with a touch of his usual bravado, "You all have it easy! My world is still stuck in the Sengoku era, with only a few major villages just beginning to take shape and I am already invading them, Nobody has the time to develop technology yet. Who among you can claim to be more outdated than me?"
The Hokages engaged in discussions about technology, a subject they had previously paid little attention to. This visit to the Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world exposed them to a different level of technological advancement, highlighting significant disparities in various areas. As the events unfolded, everyone had experienced them firsthand.
Ryan, too, had witnessed the impact of such a large-scale Chakra weapon. Countless thoughts raced through everyone's minds.
Ryan himself felt determined. With his world now unified and Uchiha Madara vanquished, it was time to set his subordinates on a path of technological development, further enhancing the world's prowess.
Ryan recalled that the Land of Lightning was renowned for its advanced technology. Fortunately, several individuals from that village were still alive in his world. Once they returned to their own, they would offer invaluable firsthand insights into their cutting-edge advancements.
At this moment, Tsunade from the "Road to Ninja" world spoke up with urgency. "We can't afford to waste any more time. My Konoha is under attack, and we need to act quickly."
Hashirama, visibly concerned, asked, "What's happening to my dear granddaughter? Do you need our help?"
Tobirama, ever the strategist, responded calmly, "I'm ready to move at a moment's notice." The other members, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, also expressed their willingness to assist Tsunade immediately.
Ryan had a thought and asked, "Is it Menma?" He began counting the time, suspecting that the crisis Tsunade, Road to Ninja, faced coincided with Menma's invasion.
Tsunade from "Road to Ninja" confirmed with a nod, "Yes, it's him! But the enemy I'm dealing with is no push-over."
Hashirama reassured her with determination, "Don't worry. I'll be there to support you."
Ryan agreed, adding, "I believe that your strength, combined with us, is more than enough to handle someone on Menma's level."
He knew that, even among the many Hokages, Tsunade's strength, enhanced by the Marine Six Styles, Slippery Fruit, and ZanpakutÅ Sode no Shirayuki, coupled with her innate medical abilities, placed her on a remarkable level. defeating Menma would be well within her capabilities.
With the reassurance from both Ryan and Tsunade, the other Hokages accepted Tsunade's invitation and set off for the Road to Ninja World. They were eager to explore this alternate version of Konoha.
In the world of Glasses Tsunade, Menma Uzumaki hides his true self behind a mask and causes chaos everywhere he goes. With Obito Uchiha's help, he captured several tailed beasts, including the Nine-Tails, Kurama, and the Seven-Tails, Chomei.
During a critical confrontation, Menma engaged Jiraiya in a fierce battle, targeting the Red Moon Scroll that Jiraiya sought to protect. Despite Jiraiya's efforts, Menma's overwhelming power proved too great. Jiraiya was gravely injured in the fight, and, though he managed to seal away the Red Moon Scroll before his death, he succumbed to his injuries shortly afterward.
Before Menma arrived in Konoha, he had schemed against the village's lower ranks. To his surprise, Tsunade, the Hokage, displayed incredible strength, nearly defeating him outright. He had no choice but to make a hasty retreat.
Returning to his base, Menma recognized the limits of his current strength. It was impossible to conquer Konoha at this time. Instead of obsessing over increasing his power, he sought an alternative route.
Menma devised a strategy to convince the Kages of Kumogakure and Kirigakure to unite for a coordinated assault on Konoha. In this world, these shinobi villages had already demonstrated a tendency towards collaboration. Leveraging his ability to sense negative emotions and persuasive skills, Menma aimed to rally them into a collective attack against Konoha.
