Tsunade's eyes widened in shock, her pupils trembling violently.
She stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief, as if she were seeing a complete stranger.
Deep in her memory, although her teacher sometimes seemed foolish and incompetent, he was always a kind-hearted person.
However, the scene before her completely shattered Tsunade's understanding.
She couldn't imagine that in another world, Sarutobi Hiruzen would do such a despicable thing!
Sarutobi Hiruzen furious, his roar deafening, "Orochimaru, I don't know which world you came from, but if you dare to slander me again, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
His voice was filled with anger and authority, as if he wanted to tear Orochimaru to pieces.
Orochimaru, however, clicked his tongue unhurriedly and said sarcastically, "Teacher Sarutobi, I never expected that no matter which world you're in, you're always so outwardly strong but inwardly weak, a bully at home but a coward at heart!"
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have been struck hard in a vital spot by those words; his facial muscles instantly lost control, and he could no longer maintain his original dignified expression.
His face was contorted with rage, veins bulged on his forehead, and his lips trembled, yet he couldn't utter a sound.
A surge of anger rose within Sarutobi Shinnosuke. He stared intently at Orochimaru from the other world, his eyes wide, gripping a thick iron rod tightly in his hand, as if he were about to smash it down on Orochimaru's head at any moment.
However, just as he was about to take a step forward, Uchiha Kō suddenly cast a cold glance at him.
That gaze, like a cold star, Earth Spike straight into Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes, causing him to tremble involuntarily, his surging anger instantly frozen in place.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's body was as if it had been frozen in place, completely unable to move.
He could only stand there blankly, staring at Uchiha Kō, his heart already churning with turbulent emotions.
Uchiha Kō's lips curled into a chilling smile. He slowly spoke, "So, you've come here this time following the orders of your world's so-called god, to gouge out my eyes and save your world?"
His voice was cold and tinged with mockery, echoing in the empty space and sending chills down one's spine.
Orochimaru stood to the side, his face terribly grim. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, but he remained silent.
Because he knew that he was no match for Uchiha Kō now, and any resistance would be futile.
Those Rinnegan, shining and burning like the sun, put immense pressure on him. He had witnessed the Rinnegan of the Akatsuki before, and although it had also put him under pressure, it was nothing compared to what he was experiencing now.
"Hmph, the victor is king, the loser is Orochimaru, have nothing to say! Kill me if you want, I will never regret it!" The Orochimaru from the other world swung his neck.
Uchiha Kō released him from his restraints, then extended his right hand, which immediately formed a palm, and a tremendous suction force emanated from his palm.
Before Orochimaru could regain his balance, he felt a strong and powerful suction force pulling him forward.
Unable to resist, he gritted his teeth, then laughed, ceasing his resistance. Since the gap in their abilities was so vast, he would stop struggling.
That's how it is; he's been doing the same thing ever since Naruto Sasuke defeated Otsutsuki Kaguya.
"Orochimaru, you can play dumb with Naruto Sasuke, but that won't work with me. I'm very loyal to my own people, but I won't hold back against my enemies."
"Coincidentally, I admire you quite a bit. If you're willing to be my friend, I can consider reviving Nawaki, Jiraiya, and Kimimaro," Uchiha Kō said calmly.
Orochimaru immediately perked up. He looked at Uchiha Kō, feeling excited but also secretly wary. This guy was no ordinary person.
He knew everything about himself, including the person he wanted to resurrect with those eyes. He only knew that the person was an anomaly, an anomaly that didn't belong to the Ninja World. He knew nothing else.
"What are the conditions?" the otherworldly Orochimaru asked, his eyes filled with caution and scrutiny.
Orochimaru doesn't believe in free lunches; if there were, then free is the most expensive thing!
"After I resurrect the three of them, you will seal this space again." Uchiha Kō looked at him. Since Orochimaru from another world could tear through space to get here, there was no doubt that he also had the ability to seal this space.
The Orochimaru from the other world gave a wry smile, "I say, Lord Hokage, you've made this request too late, because..."
The next second, the Seventh Hokage Naruto, and the only ghost of the Uchiha appeared on the field.
After Namikaze Minato, the Seventh Hokage Naruto, he hesitated to speak, but Uzumaki Kushina suddenly pulled him into her arms like a madwoman.
"You, you're Naruto, right? You must be Naruto, right!" Even though they weren't from the same world, Uzumaki Kushina could still feel the closeness of their blood ties.
The Seventh Hokage Naruto, stood frozen in place, stunned. Feeling the warmth in his arms, he couldn't believe it, his eyes reddening.
This is... this is my living mother! Not just residual chakra from Mental Space. So warm, so comforting. Naruto opened his mouth. "Mom."
Tears immediately streamed from his eyes and down his cheeks. Seeing this, Namikaze Minato also stood up and walked to Naruto's side.
"Naruto, you've grown up, and you've even become the Seventh Hokage. Your father is proud of you, and at the same time, your father apologizes for his incompetence!" After saying this, Namikaze Minato bowed to Naruto.
After Namikaze Minato brought Boruto Uzumaki home, he learned what kind of life Boruto was living in the other world. Upon hearing this, Kushina immediately prepared to Sarutobi Hiruzen apart in this world to seek justice for her son.
If it weren't for Namikaze Minato stopping him, it's questionable whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would even be alive today.
At the same time, Namikaze Minato of this world will no longer respectfully address Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Third, and will not even want to say a word to him.
Naruto could no longer hold back and hugged Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, bursting into tears. "Daddy, Mommy!"
The day he was born was the anniversary of his parents' deaths, even though he saw them again at a crucial moment and fought alongside them.
But his life was incomplete. No one knew that when he was a child, he would sit on the swing at the school gate, swinging alone, watching the other children being picked up by their parents. No one knew his loneliness and solitude.
Although he doesn't say it and always wears a smile, only he knows how much bitterness and helplessness lies behind that smile.
When the Pervy Sage Jiraiya came to his side and said he would take him as his disciple and take care of him, he was overjoyed. "I, Naruto, have family now!"
He enjoyed a warmth he had never experienced before, but this blissful time was short-lived. Before he could repay the kindness of the Pervy Sage in raising and teaching him, he grew up.
When news of the Pervy Sage's death arrived, he knew his world had collapsed! Although his Iruka-sensei was very kind to him and helped him in any way he could, he understood that it was out of pity.
The Pervy Sage was different; he genuinely cared for him, without expecting anything in return.
His family background shaped his personality; he lacked love, so he held every relationship in high regard.
"Narut! This is the Lord Hokage. It is because of his existence that Konoha and the villagers live in peace and prosperity." Namikaze Minato wanted to introduce the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kō, to his son.
Suddenly, Naruto snapped out of his daze, walked up to Uchiha Kō, and met his gaze. "Seventh Hokage, Naruto, I've met the extraordinary one of the Ninja World, Uchiha Kō."
Naruto's words made Namikaze Minato frown, while Uchiha Kō sneered and, not to be outdone, replied, "The Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kō, has met a visitor from another world, Naruto."
Naruto's expression darkened. He already knew Uchiha Kō's attitude and could guess his choice, but he wouldn't give up. "Mr. Owl, as an anomaly, you must know the tragedy of our world. That's why I traveled through time to this world to borrow something from you."
"We'll return it when we're done using it," Naruto said, staring intently at Uchiha Kō's bright Rinnegan, his eyes filled with desire.
After becoming the Seventh Hokage, under the guidance and assistance of Nara Shikamaru, he came to understand that the world is not simply black and white.
At the same time, he also had his own ideas. After Orochimaru told him that he had a pair of eyes that could revive five people a year, he was immediately tempted.
Although plundering others' Kekkei Genkai is a selfish act, he must obtain it for his own sake and for the peace and prosperity of each village!
Kurama trembled inwardly. "Quick, run! Naruto, this person... this person's strength has surpassed that of the Sage of Six Paths!"
Naruto's eyes widened slightly in surprise. Surpassing the Sage of Six Paths! He was stunned, but his gaze quickly hardened.
"Even if his strength surpasses that of the Sage of Six Paths, Sasuke Kurama, are not inferior to the Sage of Six Paths!" Naruto thought to himself.
As expected of the protagonist of the original world, he's so optimistic. It's just that their timeline isn't Shippuden, but Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Uchiha Kō was not the Sage of Six Paths. He was powerful enough to seal away Otsutsuki Kaguya, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, all by himself!
Kurama looked at Uchiha Kō as if he were an insurmountable mountain; his power far surpassed that of the Sage of Six Paths.
Even if it activates that mode, it still won't be able to defeat Uchiha Kō.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails of this world awoke and, inside Mito's body, looked towards the Hokage Villa with a gloating expression in its eyes.
Actually, it had already woken up when Naruto and Nine-Tails from another world landed in this world, but whether they came or not had nothing to do with it.
But now that they were standing in front of Uchiha Kō, they finally caught its attention.
"It's like an old man hanging himself, tired of living! Fighting such a freak is just asking for trouble!"
