• An Anbu ninja informed Mitokado Homura that Sawada Hiroki was on his way to the Hokage’s office.

Hiroki returned from the Land of Water front and went to Mitokado Homura to address the village’s shortage of food. After Homura said the supply problems had no solution, Hiroki decided to investigate the source himself.

• Mitokado Homura wondered why Hiroki had come to the logistics office, then let him in.
• Hiroki told Homura the war was over and explained that he had returned to deal with the village’s food shortages.

Hiroki went to Konoha First Livestock Farm to investigate its problems, despite Mitokado Homura expecting him to give up after seeing the logistical difficulties. After hearing about the farm’s losses and harassment, Hiroki headed to inspect the pigpens, considering whether his muscle auto-growth script could help the livestock.

• Mitokado Homura gave Hiroki a map to Konoha First Livestock Farm in the eastern outskirts, and Hiroki left with Tanaka Kenta.
• Yamada Naka initially expected aid from a senior official, but was dismayed when Tanaka Kenta introduced the young Hiroki as the inspector.
• Hiroki reassured Yamada Naka that he would not have his family wiped out, then unnerved him with the eerie eyeballs and severed hand he wore.
• Yamada Naka explained that a red, four-tailed monster had flattened the farm months earlier, killing most of its adult livestock, and that bandits and drifters still harassed them.
• When Yamada Naka hesitated to mention internal extortion, Hiroki named Uchiha and Nara, then said they could deal with them later and asked to see the pigpens.

Hiroki inspected a pig farm and used his Muscle Growth Script to improve the piglets, then turned his attention to the Uchiha and Nara figures who were extorting the farmer. When an Uchiha ninja arrived to demand pigs and attacked Hiroki, Hiroki knocked him unconscious and ordered Tatsushi to bring him the patrol squad captain.

• Hiroki walked through the pigpen, secretly injecting the piglets with his Muscle Growth Script, and told Yamada Naka to double their feed.

• Hiroki ordered Anbu Tatsushi to bring the captain of the patrol squad and reviewed evidence from Uchiha Tekka's memories that the patrol had extorted money from Yamada Naka.
• Tanaka Kenta feared the Uchiha would retaliate, while Yamada Naka hoped Hiroki would protect him.
• Uchiha Fugaku arrived with two clan members, prepared to punish whoever had detained Tekka and assert the Uchiha's authority.
• Fugaku recognized Sawada Hiroki, remembered warnings not to provoke him, and realized he needed to manage the consequences rather than retaliate.
• Fugaku addressed Hiroki as “Lord Hiroki” with deference, shocking Tanaka Kenta.

Sawada Hiroki forced Uchiha Fugaku to confront evidence of Uchiha Tekka’s abuse and secured swift punishment and compensation for the livestock farm. As Hiroki prepared to inspect the southern greenhouses, an Anbu summoned him to a meeting with the Third, where he learned he was being considered to succeed as Fourth Hokage.

• Uchiha Fugaku saw Hiroki’s copied memories of Tekka extorting civilians and attacking Hiroki, then promised the Uchiha would handle the matter.
• Fugaku apologized to Yamada Naka and punished Tekka by dismissing him, fining him, and ordering him to work at the farm without pay for a month.
• Fugaku assigned a clansman to guard the farm for a week, and Hiroki approved his response before preparing to visit the southern greenhouses.

• Hiroki asked Sarutobi Hiruzen about buying produce from the Land of Water and the Land of Rain, then identified transportation as the main obstacle.

• Hiroki promised Ruzan that the village would see changes within three days, leaving Ruzan and the jonin uncertain about his plan.

Hiroki developed a system that let chakra-infused mice use the Flying Thunder God to teleport cargo between marked locations, astonishing Minato. After the successful test, the Third offered Might Duy a new D-rank mission to try.

• Hiroki comforted Kushina after she worried that she was useless, then decided to pursue his backup plan using white mice.
• Hiroki modified the Flying Thunder God code so a mouse could teleport to another mouse’s location when its raised tail was pressed.

• Hiroki demonstrated the system to Minato, who injected chakra and pressed the mouse’s tail to teleport with it.
• The Third told Might Duy that a new, simple D-rank mission was available and asked if he wanted to try it.

Might Duy accepted a highly paid mission that used chakra-reactive mice to transport him between Konoha and the Land of Rain, where Minato assigned him to carry vegetables and fruit. Duy returned with an enormous cargo, and Aburame Torune began reconsidering his opposition to Hiroki.

• Might Duy accepted a lucrative mission and followed an Anbu's instructions to inject chakra into a mouse and press down its raised tail.
• The mouse transported Might Duy to the Land of Rain, where Minato explained that he was to carry vegetables and fruit back to Konoha.
• Might Duy opened the first two Eight Inner Gates, lifted the massive cargo, and used a second mouse to return to Konoha with it.
• Aburame Torune witnessed Might Duy's success and considered pledging allegiance to Hiroki and informing on those opposing him.

Nara Ruzan visited Sawada Hiroki to apologize after learning that Hiroki’s innovations had rapidly improved Konoha’s logistics and food production, but found the clans already lined up to pledge allegiance.

• A group of time travelers discussed killing Uzumaki Kushina, believing her death would delay Hiroki’s unification efforts by at least three years.

Minato and Obito visited Konoha fifteen years in the past, where Obito discovered the messy realities behind the history books’ accounts of Sawada Hiroki’s reforms. After seeing the village’s changes, Obito reaffirmed his resolve to act, and Minato revealed that Kushina would walk with Hiroki that night.

• Minato showed Obito the livestock farm, where failed experiments and Orochimaru’s forced pig-production work contradicted the history books’ account of an agricultural miracle.
• Minato explained how Hiroki handled Sunagakure’s losses and pushed ahead with school reforms, while Obito learned that compulsory education had kept children away from battlefields.
• Obito watched Might Duy and other genin operate the early Flying Thunder God logistics line and heard how its dangerous work helped impoverished families survive.
• Obito refused to abandon his plan despite the possibility that changing history could erase or kill people they knew, and he and Minato returned to the slope.
• Minato asked if Obito was ready to fight, then said Kushina would leave the tower that night to walk with Hiroki, and they prepared to act.

After a tiring day as Hokage, Hiroki spent his day off walking through Konoha with Kushina and encouraged her to study so she could one day become Hokage. Just as Kushina prepared to answer him, an enemy pulled them into the Kamui Dimension.

• Hiroki finished a long meeting and used his monthly day off to meet Kushina in Konoha's commercial district.
• Hiroki and Kushina joked about the village's new school curriculum and Orochimaru's expensive laboratory research as they walked together.
• Kushina reflected on how much Konoha had changed and how freely she could now walk despite being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
• Hiroki urged Kushina to learn village administration and become Konoha's first female Hokage, recalling her childhood ambition.
• As Kushina began to respond, an irresistible distortion enveloped them, and Hiroki pulled her behind him as they were dragged into the Kamui Dimension.

Hiroki and Kushina were ambushed by future Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Obito, and Kushina was killed despite Hiroki’s desperate attempts to protect her. Hiroki realized the attackers needed him alive to preserve their future and suspected they were about to alter his memories, leaving him to consider using the system’s Shutdown function.

• Future Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Obito attacked Hiroki and Kushina in the Kamui Dimension, and Hiroki’s shout briefly made them hesitate.
• Hiroki used the Rinnegan, multiple ninjutsu, and Flying Thunder God to defend Kushina, but Minato and Obito overcame his attacks and killed her.
• Hiroki suppressed his grief and noticed that Minato and Obito focused their attacks on Kushina while avoiding killing him.
• Hiroki inferred that his death could erase the future that brought Minato and Obito back, and Minato confirmed that they would not let him kill himself or return to change events.
• Hiroki realized Minato was trying to control his thoughts and memories, then looked toward the system’s unused Shutdown function.

Hiroki faced Minato and Obito, who were trying to control him, and decided to use the [Shutdown] button as his only chance to survive. Before pressing it, he renamed his system identity and tried to learn why his future self had become their enemy, but they gave him no answers.

• Hiroki realized Minato was preparing to alter his memories and control him, leaving him little time to act.
• Hiroki renamed his system identity [Sawada Hiroki (2)] as a possible backup in case shutdown reset his memories.
• Hiroki asked Minato and Obito what his future self had done and why they had returned to kill Kushina and stop him.
• Minato and Obito stayed silent, and Hiroki inferred that his future self had been extremely difficult to defeat.

After discovering that his account name had become “Sawada Hiroki (2)” and that his shutdown records were missing, Hiroki investigated whether he had died and been reset. He remained unsure who had attacked him, while Obito and Minato continued trying to break their cycle of failed attempts to kill Kushina.

• Hiroki noticed the added “(2)” in his username, concealed his alarm from Kushina, and considered whether an enemy from the future had attacked him.
• Hiroki ruled out Orochimaru, Danzo, and Madara as likely culprits, then checked the System Log and found two startup records but no shutdown records.
• Hiroki considered Deep Freeze, System Restore, and other rollback explanations, but could not determine who had attacked him or how to prepare for the next encounter.
• Minato told Obito that their latest attempt to attack Kushina had failed again, based on information his teacher had sent from the future.
• Obito and Minato decided to continue their assassination attempts and gather more information to discover why they kept failing.
• Hiroki decided to seek answers from the Hokage’s advisors, despite doubting they would know anything useful.

Namikaze Minato explained to Uchiha Obito how their failed attempt to attack Kushina had altered the timeline and why they needed to pursue a different strategy. Meanwhile, Hiroki questioned Mitokado Homura about future enemies but received no answer to the timeline mystery he was investigating.

• Namikaze Minato told Uchiha Obito that Hiroki’s unknown ability had disrupted their plan and could cause their timeline to roll back.
• Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Obito decided to travel to other countries, obstruct Hiroki’s progress, and wait five to ten years before trying to attack him again.
• Hiroki asked Mitokado Homura about enemies from the future, but Homura listed Konoha’s rival villages and potential logistical problems.
• Hiroki remained focused on the changing username and theorized that a Deep Freeze-like system had erased records across his Memory Disk.
