Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but then asked, "Does Hokage Torifu mean that you've already resolved the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village?"
Torifu smiled. "My wife is a member of the Uchiha Clan. Her name is Izori Uchiha. You must have heard of her."
"She and I were both disciples of Lord Hashirama."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had naturally heard of Izori Uchiha. She was an exceptionally talented kunoichi, but had died far too young.
He never would have imagined that in this world, she had become one of Lord Hashirama's disciples. Hiruzen couldn't help feeling envious.
Along the way, Hiruzen kept looking around. This place was like his village, yet different.
There were more people than in his village, and it was more prosperous.
There were also huge screens he'd never seen before, seemingly used to display advertisements.
And everyone had a phone in their hands. It all made Hiruzen incredibly curious.
Torifu explained, "These are electronic devices, products of technological development."
Hiruzen understood. They had developed technology too, and had some electrical appliances.
But theirs certainly weren't this advanced.
Torifu wanted to tell him that this was only the tip of the iceberg. The appliances inside people's homes were far more varied.
Soon, they arrived at the Senju Compound. The guards at the entrance didn't stop them, though they looked a little curious.
Why was Lord Torifu here with Lord Hiruzen? They had no idea that this was actually Hiruzen Sarutobi from another world.
"Lord Torifu, here to visit again?"
Torifu smiled. "Of course. My masters are home, right?"
"They are! The clan head and the others are home, but it seems he's been having bad luck at his game today and is a bit irritable."
Torifu waved a hand. "It's fine. I'll go in and check on him.
