Outer Realm Demon? Uchiha Kō???
Finally, when everyone was looking at the Senju brothers as if they were idiots, Senju Tobirama couldn't take it anymore. "Big brother, let's go, let's leave the arena first."
Senju Hashirama, oblivious to the strange looks from the crowd, simply nodded and said, "Yes, let's go, second brother, let's go quell the chaos in the world." With that, he took the lead and stepped into the portal.
Senju Tobirama sighed and scratched his head, bowed to the protagonists of each era, and then went inside.
Uchiha Izuna looked at his older brother and asked, "Big brother, shall we go?" He was obedient and sensible.
Uchiha's heart softened when he saw his younger brother like this. In his world, his brother was already dead. Now, his brother from another timeline stood before him, plunging him into endless memories.
Finally, he nodded. "Izuna, let's go. Let's go to our dorm and see this talent from the Ninja World."
Ninja World
Qingshui was carried into the city. He was very curious about the construction of this world and looked around with his head.
The towering city walls, the novel equipment, and the ninjas wearing Forehead Protector with the character for "ninja" engraved on them filled me with curiosity.
"Um, me from another world, could you tell me what happened in your world?" Qingshui looked at the version of himself in front of him with a smile.
Namikaze Minato stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, and then began to recount the rise of the Uchiha Kō and the Second Shinobi World War.
Qingshui listened very attentively, word by word, while also feeling a great deal of curiosity about Uchiha Kō.
From the initial Uchiha Kō tactics to the efforts to later gain power.
Then, after seizing power in Konoha, he implemented numerous reforms, and after becoming Hokage Position, he improved the treatment of all the villagers and focused on their living standards.
Qingshui listened with rapt attention. His dream was to become Hokage someday and protect the village and its inhabitants. But after hearing these words from Namikaze Minato, he realized that simply being good at fighting was useless.
There are also factors such as governance, people's livelihood, interests, family ties, and class conflict among ordinary people.
He underestimated the nature of Hokage.
"Did the teacher teach you these things?" Qingshui asked Namikaze Minato with a puzzled look.
Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded, "Yes, my teacher is a very gentle and considerate person. He is kind to his own people, but he strikes hard against his enemies!"
(The ninjas from the four villages: Don't you feel any remorse saying that?)
Qingshui thoughtfully recalled the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. He seemed to intend for me to succeed him as Hokage, but he had never taught me any of these things.
He even personally reviewed those documents. I used to think that the Lord Hokage was diligent and conscientious in his work, and I even thought about learning from him.
It seems the Lord Third is still reluctant to relinquish power! He'll probably be a figurehead even after taking office.
"We're here." Namikaze Minato smiled, then knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."
Uchiha Kō was sitting in his seat smoking, pondering how to resolve the situation, when he heard the knock on the door. He immediately got up and was about to open it.
Nara Rokumei gestured for him to sit down, gave him a look, and then said, "Lord Hokage, you can sit down. Let others handle these matters." He then clapped his hands.
Immediately, Hatake Sakumo gave his men a look, and the fully armed, even heavily armed, Anbu nodded and walked towards the door.
He opened the door and was greeted by Namikaze Minato. He then bowed and said, "Lord Minato!"
Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Of course, Minato, the criminal behind you..." The Anbu Ninja was about to say "criminal," but after seeing the man who looked exactly like Namikaze Minato, he shut his mouth.
It's said that this is also Minato, so referring to him as a prisoner seems a bit inappropriate. Therefore, he swallowed back what he had said earlier.
Namikaze Minato didn't blame him, but smiled gently and said, "It's alright, it's alright." He waved his hand, and the Anbu Ninja withdrew.
Uchiha Kō sat imposingly in the main seat, surrounded by a large group of people, including high-ranking officials from Konoha and Kage summoned from other countries. They all looked at Namikaze Minato and Qingshui with scrutinizing eyes.
Qingshui was a little flustered because it was the first time he had seen so many powerful people. Although they didn't look like living people and were probably summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, the amount of chakra in their bodies was undeniable.
More than 80% of the people present had more chakra than him, so he was a little nervous at the moment.
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Sensei, I've brought the person back!"
Upon hearing Namikaze Minato address him as "teacher, "Uchiha Kō finally laughed, "Well done, Minato. You haven't disappointed me. You truly deserve to be known as the man with the most perfect ninja image."
Namikaze Minato bowed and clasped his hands in greeting. "Compared to my teacher, I am far from being good enough. My teacher is the God of Shinobi!" Minato returned the greeting with a smile, something he had learned over the years.
Qingshui watched his counterpart in this world bow and unconsciously memorized the gesture. It seemed much more elegant than kneeling on one knee!
Uchiha Kō was very satisfied with Namikaze Minato's attitude. He had someone bring up the physical energy, and then he personally handed it to Namikaze Minato. Namikaze Minato didn't hesitate and picked up the bottle to gulp it down.
Qingshui's nose twitched as he smelled the aroma, and a slight itch stirred within him. Ignoring his own predicament, he blurted out, "Is it good?" He looked at himself in this world and swallowed.
Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato paused in his actions, then handed the bottle to him. "Try it?" Qingshui chuckled, not minding at all, and immediately took the bottle and started drinking, gulping it down.
The senior figures present all looked at Qingshui with admiration. As expected of Minato from another world, he was initially a little nervous when he met them, but now he had relaxed.
Such a person is destined for greatness; it's a pity that such a talented individual is from Konoha. Konoha has seventy percent of the world's talented people; alas!
Uchiha Kō looked at Qingshui and said, "Drink slowly, there's more if you're not full." As he spoke, he glanced at the Anbu, Anbu immediately brought over a box of these physique energies, all of which were researched by Orochimaru.
Using the book given to him by Uchiha Kō, he searched for herbs in the Ninja World, added white sugar and mineral water, and finally developed this beverage to replenish the energy of ninjas who stayed up all night on guard duty and those who returned from fighting on the front lines.
However, current production is low, making large-scale promotion impossible, so it is only used as a military supply.
After finishing his Qingshui looked at the empty bottle in his hand, then at the box, and then at Namikaze Minato. He wanted to drink but was too embarrassed. Namikaze Minato understood his meaning, then used his chakra to open the box and took out five bottles of physique energy, handing them to Qingshui.
"You know what, you and I have exactly the same taste. I drank five or six bottles of this stuff when it was first invented. I bet you liked it too since it was your first time trying it," Namikaze Minato laughed.
We can't possibly mistreat our counterparts in another world!
Qingshui's eyes lit up. "This isn't a good idea." Then he put the drink into the scroll, thinking to himself, "This drink is so delicious, Kushina must like it too. I'm such a good person in this world!"
Seeing Qingshui's appearance, many of the First Hokage Impure World Reincarnation move. They were actually quite curious about what this body's energy tasted like, but unfortunately, they no longer had a sense of taste.
Seeing how happily Qingshui was drinking, Uchiha couldn't resist and picked up a bottle to drink as well. "Hmm, not bad! Grandson, this drink is good stuff!"
Senju Hashirama also chimed in, "Madara, let me have a taste!"
Uchiha paused, stopped drinking his beverage, glanced at Senju Hashirama, then at his own bottle, and finally handed it to Senju Hashirama. To everyone's surprise, Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up, and he drank directly from the bottle.
Senju Tobirama smirked. If it weren't for his sister-in-law being responsible for protecting Konoha, and if she came along and saw him like this, he wondered if she would scold him.
Uchiha Izuna gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, "Damn it, this naturally evil Senju Hashirama, even after getting married, still does such despicable things. He's utterly insane!"
Pakura was standing nearby, turned on a bottle of liquor and handed it to Izuna: "Want some, honey?"
Upon hearing Pakura's voice, Uchiha Izuna calmed down, a gentle smile on his face, "I'll drink!" He then took the drink from Pakura's hand and began to drink.
Seeing this Uchiha Kō frowned. Something was wrong; how had the topic gone off track? He immediately coughed, "Ahem, everyone, please sit down."
Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato, Qingshui, Uchiha, Uchiha Izuna, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama stopped what they were doing and headed towards their seats.
Uchiha Kō looked at Qingshui: "How were you summoned to this world?"
Qingshui replied, "It was an old man named Heavenly Dao. He said that there were extraterrestrial demons in this world who wanted to destroy the entire world, so he summoned the protagonists and Kakuzu from various eras to fight against the extraterrestrial demons together."
Upon hearing this Uchiha Kō burst into laughter. "An extraterrestrial demon? He's talking about me!" Everyone suddenly laughed.
Qingshui was stunned. An extraterrestrial demon? Uchiha Kō? How was he a demon? He didn't see it coming from him. He was a gentle, humorous, and witty man, and most importantly, he even gave him sweet water! He was definitely a good person!
"You're an extraterrestrial demon? How is that possible? I heard the version of myself in this world recount your rise to power and your political history. Every single one of them was a strategy that benefited the country and its people. How could you be an extraterrestrial demon!" Qingshui was shocked by Uchiha Kō's words.
"It's because I didn't follow his script, Konoha didn't decline as he planned, that he sees me as an anomaly and wants to eliminate me," Uchiha Kō said calmly.
