"Transformation technique? Or did you use makeup! Yamato, where did you find this person?" Tsunade still didn't believe it, but she couldn't help but want to get closer to Nawaki and touch the young man who looked a lot like her younger brother when they were little.
"How pathetic. He's already Hokage." Suddenly, Shirahoshi, who was to Nawaki's left, made a sarcastic remark.
Tsunade: Well!
"And who are you? And who is the woman next to you?!" Tsunade looked past Shirahoshi and at the red-eyed woman who was looking at her with curiosity.
"Me?" Yuhi Ryuun pointed to himself and raised his hand, saying, "My name is Yuhi Ryuun, and I'm a Jonin of the Yuhi clan~"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade gave a cold laugh, and as she touched Nawaki's face, she couldn't help but taunt, "The Yuhi Clan has all disbanded."
"Return the Jonin of the Yuhi clan."
Sunset Clouds: "..."
"Uncle Zhen Hong... he disbanded?" Yuhi Ryuun's eyes were glazed over, as if his well-established worldview had been shattered by Tsunade in an instant.
“Shinku? Yuhi Shinku?” Upon hearing this name, Tsunade’s eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia, and her tone involuntarily became heavy. “Shinku, he’s been dead for a long time.”
"..."
"So, who is left in the Sunset Clan now?"
"Currently, there is only one Jonin with the surname Yuhi, Kurenai." As Tsunade's personal secretary, and given the many things the village has gone through, the number of Jonin in the village is already small, so Shizune naturally remembered the general names and appearances of the people among them.
"Hong? Is she Uncle Hong's daughter? Bai Xing, it has to be you. Otherwise, my family is doomed." Xi Ri Liu Yun tugged at Bai Xing's sleeve, and Bai Xing gave him a deadpan look.
"Shirahoshi? Another name I've never heard of." Tsunade lowered her hand, and seeing Shirahoshi feigning indifference and remaining silent, she looked at the young man in front of her, Nawaki, who was currently feeling quite awkward: "What's your name?"
"I already told you, Nawaki."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll punch you."
Seeing this, Yamato stepped forward and said, "Lord Hokage."
"Huh?" Tsunade was furious, her fierce gaze sweeping over Yamato, startling him.
But soon, Yamato spoke up and explained that they had traveled back in time to another world, to Loulan and Konoha in the past, so the three of them were people from that time period.
Tsunade:"......"
Mute: "..."
"This, you really are? You really... really are Nawaki?" After confirming the answer, Tsunade looked at Nawaki again and felt an instant increase in her sense of familiarity.
"Of course, sister. But how did I die? How come I died so early in this world? It's so embarrassing." Nawaki couldn't help but complain.
The three who knew the truth: "..." x3
Sai scratched his cheek. He only knew that the Fifth Hokage Tsunade's younger brother died very early, but he didn't know why.
"Yeah, how did this older brother who knew Wood Release die?" Naruto was also curious.
Upon hearing "Wood Release," Tsunade and Shizune were shocked again, their faces showing disbelief, and they exclaimed in unison:
"Wood Release?" x2
"Putting aside these older sisters, I'm still very curious about how I died." Rope Tree didn't want to explain all this nonsense. He came here to see his future self, but he just died, which was really embarrassing.
Bai Xing yawned. "Maybe he was killed by stepping on an explosive tag trap."
You were so arrogant back then!
"impossible!"
"No matter how arrogant I am, I, Nawaki, could never fall for a mere explosive tag trap!"
Nawaki retorted directly, turning to look at Tsunade in front of him.
At this moment, Tsunade, unwilling to reveal the truth, hesitated to speak.
Beside them, Shizune and Yamato turned their heads away.
Sai, having seen through the truth, felt sorry for Nawaki.
The curious Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno.
"Um, well, how about we talk about this later? Let's go have a meal with your sister and chat about what happened in the past?" Tsunade began to change the subject.
Hearing this, Rope Tree still didn't understand that he was a real fool.
"Sister, please don't tell me I really..."
"Alright, alright, you've already passed through it, haven't you? I remember you just turned 12 that year. It's normal to go to the battlefield at such a young age." Tsunade tried to calm the young Nawaki down.
But Rope Tree's emotions exploded even more.
His colorful appearance turned grayish-white again, and with a crack, he split open!
Without Brother Bai Xing's tutoring, I was only twelve years old and I was already dead?!
Wait a minute?!
Nawaki tilted his head slightly and glanced at Shirahoshi, who was trying not to laugh. "I seem to remember that back in the Land of Whirlpools, you told me to be careful of explosive tag traps. Shirahoshi, big brother~?"
"puff--"
"So you knew when I was going to die!!" Nawaki grabbed Shirahoshi's collar, breaking down in tears. "How could I die in such a disgraceful way?!"
Inside the office, the team that failed in their mission was surprisingly cheerful; anyone who didn't know better would think they were having a party!
To give Nawaki and Tsunade some freedom, Shizune, who was taking over as Hokage, sat at the table, muttering to herself: "I'm all alone again," and "Maybe I should become Hokage."
Shirahoshi: "......"
"Since there's nothing else, let's go out for a stroll. The future of Konoha is still quite something to look forward to."
"Okay. Oh, right, I need to go find Hong and ask about my mother." Just as Yuhi Ryuun was about to ask Shizune, Shirahoshi stopped her: "Forget it."
"More than 20 years have passed, and in the end, Aunt Yue from the two worlds may not necessarily be the same person."
Upon hearing this, Yuhi Ryuun left the office. Yamato watched the two leave, while Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously, "Speaking of which, are there any other people in the village named Yuhi?"
"..." A big tic-tac-toe sign appeared above Sakura Haruno's head. She thought to herself, "Naruto's so thick-skinned! Didn't he see that Shizune's body stiffened for a second when she heard that?"
boom!
His fist was smoking, and a large bump appeared on Naruto's head, causing him to scream in pain.
"Captain Yamato, let's go back and see Kakashi-sensei."
“Alright!” Yamato nodded and looked at Sai. Sai understood what Yamato meant, but shook his head helplessly. Yamato knew that Sai had no way to resist Danzo.
This is exactly what Shirahoshi wanted to see.
Even if this is the future, if they arbitrarily vandalize someone else's village, where will the future space-time portal be located?! It's definitely in Konoha, which is safe.
Shirahoshi just saw the dragon veins of this world.
On the surface, the power of the dragon vein was sealed by the water gate, but in reality, it was destroyed by the centipede.
The centipede's self-awareness caused the dragon vein energy to have the idea of self-destruction.
Moreover, the sealing of the dragon vein lasted for more than 20 years, and the sealing of the dragon vein does not mean that the energy of the dragon vein itself will not continue to operate.
This is similar to how Minato sealed himself inside the body of the Shiki, allowing him to establish a friendly relationship with the Nine-Tails and immediately enter Golden Body Mode when the Fourth Shinobi World War begins.
Therefore, even if the dragon veins of this world are reopened, they cannot be exploited.
—It's useless.
Unless the centipede is resurrected, filled with the desire to live, and willingly jumps off the dragon vein, and then the dragon vein is sealed again, allowing it to recuperate on its own for more than twenty years, it won't work.
What are the benefits of being targeted by Danzo?
Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, an arm full of Hashirama cells and an arm full of Sharingan, weren't they all his?
As for whether Shisui's Sharingan will control him?
It's ridiculous. He's been an all-around minister for so long and he's never been affected by genjutsu. During the last Uchiha battle, neither Jonin Fugaku nor Special Jonin could even register their genjutsu on him.
Not to mention, this is only a slime clone that has inherited a portion of its power.
If even a clone can't fall for illusions, can the main body?
The answer, of course, is no.
As for whether others will fall under the illusion, Shirahoshi is not worried, because his Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit) can strike out of the mind.
By increasing physical output, you can use awakening skills.
That's right, he had already learned the fruit awakening technique. Developing the Op-Op Fruit ultimately depends on physical strength.
Putting aside his physical attributes, he could easily give Madara Uchiha and the Allied Shinobi Forces a taste of what it's like to fight the Otsutsuki clan members, excluding Otsutsuki Shibai, with his bare hands.
On the street, the two walked past the former territory of the tribe and past the buildings where Shirahoshi used to live. Both of them felt a little sad at this moment.
Because things have changed, and people are no longer the same.
Due to the Nine-Tails' attack that killed Kurenai Yuhi, the Yuhi clan disbanded and lost its territory. As a result, the rebuilt Yuhi clan compound became a tall residential building.
As for Shirahoshi's house, not much has changed, except that the peripherals have become a little different.
"What a big change."
"I almost didn't recognize him."
The two walked around and sat down on a public bench. Bai Xing went to the vending machine's beverage compartment and took out some coins from her pocket.
bang-
With a thud, the coin he had just dropped in flowed out of the coin dispenser.
井!
after a little while.
"The coins have been redesigned now, right?"
“But we don’t have any money, so it seems like we can’t buy anything.” Bai Xing sat down next to Liu Yun, tossed the tea drink box to Liu Yun, and took out a bottle of sparkling water to drink.
Liu Yun took the box of drinks with a puzzled look and asked, "Didn't you say the coin was being redesigned?"
"Yeah, what does that have to do with me exchanging stones for it?"
The setting sun and drifting clouds revealed their lifeless eyes, looking past the white stars and into the glass interior of the advanced automated vending machine.
The two bottles of drinks had been replaced by two small stones.
