Not only were the three Kage on the screen shocked, but Seventh Hokage Naruto, Adult Sasuke, and Shikamaru inside the Hokage Office also all wore expressions of incredulous astonishment.
Unified the entire Ninja World?
The sheer volume of information behind this short sentence, the bloodshed and conquest it represented, and the absolute strength and aura displayed by the youth before them, all struck their hearts like heavy hammers.
Adult Sasuke, in particular, felt a sense of absurdity and shock, as if time and space were in disarray.
He clearly remembered that when he last saw this Young Naruto during the space-time accident caused by the time-slip turtle, the other had just finished the Chunin Exams not long before.
He hadn’t expected that in such a short time, the other had already achieved such a feat!
Did that mean that he and this world’s Naruto could also...
Young Naruto looked at the people on the screen who were treating him like a formidable enemy, filled with suspicion and uncertainty, and felt it was somewhat boring and a waste of time.
He waved his hand and added in a flat tone, "I have no interest in staying in this world for long, so you have absolutely no need to worry that I will attack you for the sake of this world’s Hidden Leaf Village."
He was telling the truth.
Frankly speaking, even in this world, given Hidden Leaf Village’s current strength, it remained the leading power among the Five Great Nations.
The other nations simply chose to selectively ignore the power of this country, which almost always fought 1v4 in wars, because Hidden Leaf Village had always preferred peace.
Things like Chakra weapons and military might were simply not worth mentioning in the face of power at the level of Adult Sasuke’s Perfect Susanoo or even Chibaku Tensei.
However, Hidden Leaf Village in this world, under the leadership of Seventh Hokage, was on a path of peaceful development, and the Seventh Hokage had no ambition or plan to unify the Ninja World.
In fact, Sasuke traveled outside all year round, not only to investigate the Otsutsuki ruins, but also, to some extent, to put the other nations at ease.
If one of the "strongest duo in the Ninja World" stayed in Hidden Leaf Village for a long time, the Kage of other nations would likely be unable to sleep or eat in peace.
After all, the Uchiha Madara of the Six Paths, who was once able to single-handedly take on the entire Ninja World, was defeated by the joint efforts of the youth-era Seventh Hokage and Adult Sasuke.
Then, could the two of them also defeat the entire Allied Shinobi Forces?
The answer to this question would likely keep many people awake at night.
Moreover, the current Seventh Hokage possessed a terrifying ability that only Kurama knew about, which could be called a final trump card—Baryon Mode.
It was an ability that cost the Nine-Tailed’s life force in exchange for the power to suppress Isshiki head-on for a short time.
"Then..."
Fifth Generation Kazekage Gaara was the first to recover from the shock. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and his calm emerald eyes looked through the screen, staring directly at Young Naruto, as he asked the most critical question: "Why did you come to this world?"
This was also the question on everyone’s mind.
A "Sixth Hokage" who had unified the Ninja World and possessed unfathomable strength had suddenly appeared here; there had to be a reason.
"The Urashiki of this world, along with Sasuke and Boruto, went to my world."
Young Naruto had no intention of hiding anything and stated the reason directly, his tone as if he were stating an insignificant trifle.
"Later, Urashiki’s companion resurrected from his corpse, and when I was fighting Urashiki’s companion, I accidentally came here."
The reason he dared to be so frank was that the time-slip turtle of this world had already been released by this world’s Sasuke and Boruto, and Otohime, the only one who could use Kamimusubi for space-time travel, was now in his hands and had to go with him.
Even if they knew the reason, it was almost impossible for them to pursue him to his world, unless they also had the means to traverse time and space.
But clearly, they did not at the moment.
"Urashiki’s companion?"
Fourth Generation Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi keenly captured this information, her brows furrowed.
Could that Otsutsuki who had disappeared suddenly before, and whose death news was later brought back by Sasuke, actually have an accomplice?
And could resurrect from his corpse?
"Not a companion."
A childish yet arrogant voice rang out.
Otohime, who had climbed onto the Seventh Hokage’s desk at some point, stood on the desktop with her small body, puffing out her chest and putting on an "I am very powerful" expression, actually appearing slightly taller than the Seventh Hokage who had stood up in surprise at her sudden appearance on the desk.
"Urashiki was merely a fisherman by birth; it was only on a whim that I transformed him into an Otsutsuki."
Otohime said in her unique tone: "He was merely my servant, not a companion of equal standing to me."
She tried to display her "nobility" and status as an "insider," completely failing to notice how incongruous it was to say such things in her current young girl form.
However, no sooner had she finished speaking.
A large hand reached out from Yomotsu Hirasaka, accurately grabbing the pair of wooden horns on her head that resembled small deer antlers, and lifted her entire body up.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Hokage, put me down! Do you not wish to return?"
Otohime’s feet left the ground, kicking futilely in the air, her little face flushed red with pain and humiliation, and her hands tried to pry open the hand gripping her horns, but couldn’t budge it in the slightest.
Young Naruto brought his face close to her small ear and whispered in a volume only the two of them could hear, his tone calm but carrying a bone-chilling threat:
"I wouldn’t mind killing you and then using your eyes to slowly study a way to return. Given your small size right now, if I slapped you, you’d probably cry for a long time, right?"
Recalling the pain and helplessness of having her eyes forcibly borrowed and falling into temporary blindness, Otohime’s petite body couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.
She had no doubt that this malevolent star would really do it, so she decisively yielded.
"I... I understand, put me down quickly!"
Otohime immediately gave up struggling.
Young Naruto then let go, and Otohime fell back onto the desk with a "thump," clutching her horns that had been pinched painfully, eyes welling with tears, daring to be angry but not to speak.
This little interlude gave the Kage on the screen and everyone in the office a more intuitive understanding of Young Naruto’s "assertiveness" and "absolute control over Otohime."
"A boring meeting has no meaning."
Young Naruto ignored Otohime and turned his gaze back to the screen.
"However..."
He changed the subject, holding the now "well-behaved" Otohime in one hand, while his other hand extremely skillfully picked up the tablet on the desk, his fingers quickly pressing the volume down button and the power button to take a screenshot and save the current video conference screen.
"I believe that the Gaara and Kurotsuchi of my world will be very interested in what they look like when they grow up."
Young Naruto looked at the successful screenshot notification, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile of successful mischief.
He seemed very much looking forward to taking this "future photo" back to show the still-young Kurotsuchi and Gaara in the other space-time.
Seeing Young Naruto using the basic functions of the tablet so skillfully, Adult Shikamaru and Adult Sasuke couldn’t help but look at each other again, a flash of surprise and contemplation in their eyes.
Shikamaru: At this Naruto’s age, has the technological development in their world reached this level? Even the Hokage is so familiar with electronic products?
Sasuke shook his head slightly: No, based on my experience from last time, the development of electronic products in their world is about the same as it was after our Chunin Exams, far less advanced than it is now.
That was very problematic; what exactly was going on with this Young Naruto?
After taking the screenshot, Young Naruto stopped wasting words, exited the video conferencing software directly, then picked up the tablet, turned around, and prepared to leave the Hokage Office.
"Wait, Naruto!"
Seeing this, Adult Shikamaru hurriedly spoke up to stop him, his tone urgent.
That was the tablet used for Hokage official business, and it contained a large amount of Hidden Leaf Village’s confidential documents, intelligence, and meeting records.
Young Naruto paused, turned around, still wearing that harmless, bright smile, and handed the tablet back to Shikamaru.
"Sorry, but could you buy me one in a while? I want to take some photos back with me."
