"Long time no see."
"Minato".
Minato, who was working on documents at his Minato, suddenly paused, his pen in his hand.
That sound...
There's absolutely no mistake!!
The Shinobi World has been free from war for many years, but the amount of work involved in improving people's lives is enormous.
Years of hard work day and night have left traces of time on Minato's face, with a few faint gray hairs at his temples.
He struggled to lift his head.
After a while, Minato's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile.
"I thought your expression would be more exaggerated." Kagami Uchiha casually leaned back on the sofa.
"I thought so too..."
"But you look exactly the same as you did back then, which makes me feel like... it's like you never left."
"That's too ambiguous. Go talk to your Kushina."
Minato scrutinized Kagami Uchiha for a long time before asking, "Isn't your original body here?"
Kagami Uchiha looked out the window at the Sky Manipulation, a smile playing on his lips, "Hmm, that place is really interesting."
"Really? That's great."
"In my memory, you rarely laughed so happily."
"Can you share your journey with me?"
"Um..."
"At your level, it's difficult for me to explain in a way that you can understand."
Minato, unperturbed, smiled and asked, "So, have you met someone you like?"
"This is a problem I can understand."
Kagami Uchiha seemed to remember something and shook his head. "I can't explain this either."
"But I do enjoy fighting with that woman, though I can't beat her yet."
"Of course, if I wanted to run, she wouldn't be able to catch me."
Minato became interested. "In that world, there are people stronger than you."
In his perception, ever since Kagami Uchiha awakened the Mangekyo, he has always been the strongest in the Shinobi World, and no enemy can defeat him.
"Of course there are! Countless powerful beings, and an endless array of stars!"
Kagami Uchiha withdrew his gaze, met Minato's eyes, and smiled brightly.
"However, I will definitely become the strongest!"
"Yes, I believe you."
I've always believed.
——
"Who are you?"
"Konohamaru, it's me, Konohamaru!"
Konohamaru's forehead creased with annoyance. "It's only been a year or two, Naruto, don't you recognize me?!"
Naruto looked him over carefully for a while, then scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, you look so different, I didn't recognize you at first."
Where Naruto is, Sasuke will most likely spawn as well.
Sasuke's gaze was deep as he looked into Konohamaru's eyes.
"Konohamaru... you have it too, huh... that..."
Konohamaru turned to Sasuke and smiled, "Thanks to Orochimaru- sensei's help, I can say that I now possess it."
"Huh? What do you mean by 'possessing'? What are you talking about?" Naruto's gaze swept between the two men, noticing that their eyes looked strange.
Like...
It feels like they're about to find a place to have a match any second now.
Is this your Uchiha code? Don't isolate me!
Upon hearing Konohamaru's words, Sasuke looked at Orochimaru.
He frowned.
"I remember... the village hasn't lifted the warrant for your arrest yet, right? Even if we don't actually go after you, at least don't show up in Konoha so openly."
"That happened so many years ago..."
Orochimaru shook his head with a wry smile, "The one who issued the warrant for my arrest brought me here, perhaps he thinks I've already atoned for my sins."
"The one who put a warrant for your arrest..." Sasuke seemed to remember something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The sound coming from around the corner confirmed his guess.
"Long time no see, Sasuke, Naruto."
"You seem to have already guessed..."
Shisui appeared around the corner and smiled, "It's my brother who's back."
"Where!"
Because of his intense emotional fluctuations, Sasuke unconsciously activated his Sharingan.
Shisui pointed his thumb at the Hokage Building: "It should be in..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a streak of orange-yellow lightning flashed past and hurtled towards the Hokage Building.
Sasuke looked at the figure with some surprise. With such speed, he thought it was the boss of Revolver.
Result...
That chakra... When did Naruto become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!
The Hokage Office became crowded as more and more people poured in, especially after several enormous orange cats squeezed in.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not the kind of person who would pity a pet."
Kagami Uchiha glanced at Revolver, who was crying and sniffling, with a hint of disdain.
Revolver wiped away his tears with his thick, cat-like paws, speaking in a sobbing voice.
"Kagami... Kagami-sama... Why didn't you say goodbye before leaving!"
Why did you abandon me?!
"Waaaaah..."
It's clear that Revolver tried hard to hold back, but he couldn't.
She placed her palm on his forehead.
"The child is so big and still crying, it's so unsightly."
Strands of strange energy flowed into Revolver's body, restoring his aged, graying fur to its original orange color.
"He can reverse the flow of time at will... Kagami-kun has truly reached the dimension of gods."
Orochimaru couldn't help but marvel at how he had achieved rejuvenation and eternal youth through a secret technique.
That's why he was able to see a clue and know how amazing Kagami Uchiha's actions were.
Kagami Uchiha really disliked the feeling of having so many people gathered around him, and waved his hand, saying:
"Aren't you going to hold the selection for the Fifth Generation? Hurry up and do it. I have some things to tell you after you're done."
As the crowd dispersed, Naruto eyes were slightly red, approached.
He reached out his hand.
"Where's the gift you promised me?!"
Kagami Uchiha paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was very serious when I said that I would only give you a tenth birthday present if I were still alive at that time."
"I don't care! Just consider this day as it is!"
Tears welled up in his eyes and finally fell uncontrollably, but Naruto still stubbornly raised his head and reached out his hand.
Kagami Uchiha smiled helplessly, reached out and placed his hand on Naruto's palm.
Between his two palms, a small crack appeared in the space, emanating an aura that made all the powerful Shinobi World present feel oppressed.
Clatter--
A sparkling, multicolored egg landed in Naruto's palm.
Within this tiny egg, there was a series of surging heartbeats, exuding an air of mystery!
"Alright, go somewhere else and go hatch the eggs. It should be an interesting thing."
The Nine-Tails inside Naruto was originally trying to reduce its presence due to the appearance of Kagami Uchiha.
Until that egg appeared.
His extraordinary perception gave him a premonition... that something terrifying would emerge from there!
"Curly-Haired Great Demon King! I want one too!"
Kagami Uchiha roughly rubbed Karin's head. "So annoying! What do you take me for?!"
"You go and prepare too. I still need to assess your abilities. If you're too weak..."
"You are not qualified to come with me."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

My first book was rejected, so I started a new one. The new book is also about Hokage, but from a different perspective, it already has 30,000 to 40,000 words.
I'm too easily affected by comments, so I plan to release it after 80,000 words, haha. (The last struggle of a socially anxious person)
Hehe, according to my plan, the end of the side stories will coincide with the promotion of the new book, which will be around 100,000 words long.
Hopefully, I can still write stories that will make you laugh.
