Kanami's conjecture: a century of progress held back by the Shinobi World's nations and villages

After Tobirama Senju finished speaking, Kanami moved very quickly.

The next second, Kanami appeared beside him.

"Second Hokage, I heard from the First Hokage that you wanted to see me?"

Kanami's voice rang in Tobirama Senju's ears.

Tobirama Senju suddenly looked at Kanami.

"You're so fast!"

It's important to know that Kanami didn't come with the four reconnaissance teams that came with them.

It was in Konoha Village.

Even if Kanami happened to be traveling at that moment, he couldn't possibly arrive at Hashirama Senju so quickly after they started talking, could he?!

If Kanami had simply traveled from Hashirama Senju to Tobirama in an instant, Tobirama could understand it.

After all, I can do it myself.

But Kanami is more than that!

Seeing Tobirama Senju's wide-eyed expression, Kanami continued, "What is it you want to say? Why are you so concerned about my speed?"

At this moment, Tobirama Senju finally came to his senses.

"Hmph, you can do the Ninjutsu I created better than me, how can I not be conflicted!"

He crossed his arms and said irritably.

"What I need to tell you is something we encountered before..."

Tobirama Senju described the people and strange Building he had encountered to Kanami.

Upon hearing this, Kanami frowned.

"They say the Ninja were wiped out? And that they were wiped out a hundred years ago?"

Yes, absolutely!

"Yes, we heard it too, saying that we were dressed like this because we were filming a movie or something."

"I suspect they've lost their minds! It's outrageous!"

The Ninja next to him echoed this.

Kanami rested his hand on his chin, lost in thought.

He knew it couldn't be Illusion Technique.

Illusion Technique cannot contain anything beyond the realm of cognition.

How could something like filmmaking possibly exist in this era?

Not to mention the gangsters and guns that Tobirama Senju mentioned!

At least not in the Shinobi World!

However, this is not the Shinobi World area...

Moreover, Tobirama Senju's team was the fastest, having already covered a much greater distance than during their previous operation in the Land of Demons.

"Perhaps they really do believe that Ninja have long been wiped out."

Kanami said calmly.

"What!"

Tobirama Senju frowned deeply.

Kanami then spoke up, "Don't you find some things in the Shinobi World a bit outrageous?"

What is that?

"Electrical appliances, light bulbs, refrigerators, televisions, electrical wires—don't you think this kind of technology is incompatible with the weapons you Ninja usually use?"

Upon hearing Kanami's words, Tobirama Senju and the other Ninja fell into deep thought.

After a moment, most of them shook their heads, "I don't see anything outrageous about it."

"Yes, aren't these just ordinary daily necessities? What do they have to do with the weapons we Ninja use?"

I think so too...

Kanami nodded slightly upon hearing their words.

"I understand. It's a matter of perception. You haven't witnessed the application of electricity elsewhere, so you assume that having electrical appliances means you Ninja can still use weapons like Kunai without any problem."

"Logically speaking, firearms should be something we should know about before electronics, but you know about electronics, yet you don't know about firearms."

"What impact will this have?"

"Yeah, I don't see any connection..."

The two Ninja scratched their heads, still looking bewildered.

"A gun is a long-range weapon, but it's also dangerous at close range. It can easily kill an ordinary Ninja, and if it's a sniper rifle or something similar, it can even easily assassinate Kage-level."

"Firearms are made with gunpowder technology, which should theoretically have been developed before electrical technology. The technology tree in the Shinobi World is skewed, while the technology tree here is developing normally."

"However, from what you've said, it seems they've lost their ability to use Chakra."

"And it's Autonomous Region... Just who has such power to turn this place into Autonomous Region?"

Kanami's last point was the most puzzling.

Without a strong person to set the rules, self-governance is simply impossible.

At the very least, cultures and beliefs cannot be unified on their own.

Could it be that someone from another time travel led them to unify the Shinobi World?

Kanami wondered to himself.

This is not absurd.

Since there is a time traveler like him, it seems not impossible that there could be a second one.

"Kanami, Kanami?"

Tobirama Senju waved to Kanami.

At this moment, Kanami finally snapped out of his thoughts.

"Kanami, we're preparing to continue north. Those people said there's a region there that's already been named after a country."

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll be there later."

Kanami frowned and nodded.

Tobirama Senju and the four Ninja behind him exchanged glances, then looked at Kanami, who was deep in thought, before decisively heading rapidly north.

The journey already takes three days; they can't afford to waste any more time.

However, as Tobirama Senju left, Kanami remembered something that might help them understand.

That's Headset.

Headset are a product that transcends time; they even have surveillance capabilities.

During the Chunin exam, and even when the Feudal Lord the Five Great Nations held meetings, there were video conferences!

"I understand now. The Shinobi World is controlled by those Feudal Lord, who deliberately skewed the technology tree, which is why the standard of living and Ninja wars in the Shinobi World appear so abnormal."

"This land, which should have been a desolate wasteland without the intervention of Feudal Lord, has developed thanks to human ingenuity, and its technology has even surpassed that of the Shinobi World."

"The ninja village system has hampered the development of the Shinobi World for nearly a century."

Kanami shook his head and sighed.

But even if he told Tobirama and the others about this now, it would be pointless.

They understood what development in less than a century meant.

Only Kanami, who has witnessed historical changes, can understand how significant the changes have been over the past century.

"From this perspective, perhaps it really is autonomy? Although I'm more inclined to believe that someone once established something unified here, whether it's a belief or something else; that's more likely."

"If there's a country to the north, the Kara Organization is most likely located there," Kanami said, looking around.

Although Killer Bee pitch black all around, his Mind's Eye of the Kagura, combined with his Six Paths level Chakra, allowed him to easily perceive the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers.

Even if he's not in the Shinobi World Shinobi World now, it would only take him a few minutes to return.

"If we keep going Eastward, will...?"

Thinking of this, he chuckled to himself, "Impossible. My home can't be here; I can only eventually return to the Shinobi World."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

They vanished into the night.
