In the another universe,
"It's almost over. This war will come to an end after the official alliance with Raikage in a month's time," said the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama inside the Hokage Building, as he looked at the good news in his hand.
He let out a sigh of relief, this news was signalling the end of the first Shinobi War after many years. Sarutobi Hiruzen and others in the room also expressed their joy upon hearing the Second Hokage's words.
"Really? This is good news" exclaimed one of them.
"Yeah, it's finally over!" added another.
Ever since the death of the First Hokage, other countries had been eyeing Konoha and launched sudden attacks after Senju Hashirama's passing.
Previously, they had restrained themselves due to Hashirama's presence, but without him, they took the opportunity to wage war against Konoha.
Cloud Shinobi Village and the country of Thunder were the first to attack, and under the leadership of Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Konoha's elite shinobi stood against the entire shinobi world on the battlefield while also preserving their village's heritage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and Uchiha Kagami had also grown rapidly during this time.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Danzo raised a concern. "Teacher, although we are going to form an alliance with Raikage, the alliance is taking place in the Land of Thunder. We should exercise caution."
Hearing Danzo's words, Senju Tobirama nodded in agreement. However, being the fastest Shinobi in the ninja world, he believed he could handle any emergency that might arise.
"Hahaha, don't worry!" he reassured them. "Every ninja village has depleted its resources over the past few years. The supplies in each village are not enough to sustain continued fighting."
Danzo fell silent after hearing his response. Just as Senju Tobirama was about to speak further, a mechanical prompt suddenly sounded in Tobirama's mind.
[Ding! You have joined the Konoha Hokage chat group. Group owner Ryan has called for a round table meeting. Please attend on time!]
Senju Tobirama was instantly alerted by the sudden beep. Despite the war having ended, he remained cautious, knowing that many shinobi from other villages had been sent to assassinate him, the Hokage.
"What's the matter, teacher?" asked Sarutobi, concerned. "Are there any enemies?"
"What's the situation?" added another.
Seeing Senju Tobirama suddenly become wary, Sarutobi and the others exchanged glances. They scanned the Hokage's office, reassured by the presence of Anbu ninjas everywhere. After finding no signs of any intruder, Senju Tobirama was taken aback.
The reminder echoed in his mind once again, indicating that it was not a Genjutsu and that there were no chakra fluctuations.
Realizing that he needed to investigate further, Tobirama resolved to enter the chat group space and find out what was happening. With the Flying Thunder God technique at his disposal, he felt confident that there would be no problem.
"Count me in!" he declared, choosing to participate and joining the chat group.
Meanwhile, inside the Hokage building, Tsunade faced Naruto's inquiry about letting someone go. After a moment of silence, she responded, "Yes."
Naruto questioned her decision, asking why she allowed Jiraya to venture into a dangerous place alone. He emphasized that Tsunade should be well aware of Jiraya's character, referring to him as Pervy Sage.
In response, Kakashi intervened and tried to explain to Naruto, "Naruto, you don't understand the Fifth Hokage's feelings."
Naruto fell silent for a moment upon hearing Kakashi's words. Then he turned and left the room. Before leaving, he looked at Tsunade and made a remark, "If Pervy Sage was the Fifth Hokage, he would never let you go to such a dangerous place alone!"
With that, Naruto left the Hokage building, leaving everyone in the office in a state of silence. Tsunade remained alone in her office, dropping her facade and revealing her true emotions.
In her empty office, Tsunade immersed herself in her thoughts until a mechanical reminder abruptly echoed in her mind.
[Ding! You have joined the Konoha Hokage chat group. Group owner Ryan has called for a round table meeting. Please attend on time!]
Surprised by the sudden voice in her head, Tsunade glanced around, noticing no movement or chakra fluctuations. This confirmed that the voice had indeed originated in her mind.
"Konoha Hokage chat group?" Tsunade pondered deeply, contemplating the current state of the ninja world, which was on the brink of crisis. Based on the information she had received from Jiraiya, Pain's next target would be the remaining tailed beasts, leaving her feeling helpless.
With these thoughts in mind, Tsunade decided not to hesitate any longer. "Count me in!" she exclaimed, choosing to participate. Instantly, a burst of colorful light enveloped her, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in the chat group space.
Meanwhile, Ryan, sitting at the top of the round table, observed the colourful light curtain that appeared after the summoning announcement. Three figures emerged one after another from the curtain. The first was a man with long hair wearing a casual kimono.
"Hey! What a magical place!" exclaimed the man. "It feels like my injuries are no longer worsening."
The man turned out to be Senju Hashirama, who grew increasingly curious as he observed his surroundings and sensed the changes in his body.
At that moment, Senju Hashirama noticed Ryan and, without waiting for him to ask, another figure emerged from behind.
The newcomer wore a suit of weather-beaten blue battle armour, radiating an aura of sharpness. Tobirama, eager to find out what was happening in this chat group, was taken aback when he saw the resurrected Senju Hashirama before him.
"Huh?! Brother?" Tobirama exclaimed, shocked by the sight of his deceased brother standing before him, fully alive and not a result of the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Hey, Tobirama!" Hashirama responded with surprise. "I didn't expect you to be here too. I thought I was the only one who heard it."
Before the two could fully communicate, a voice came from behind them, exclaiming, "Grandpa? And the second grandpa?"
