"Who are you, exactly? Why have I never heard your name in the Ninja World?" After a round of probing attacks, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a general idea of his opponent's strength: it was clearly much greater than he had let on.
He wanted to get more information through conversation. Gathering intel was one of a ninja's basic skills, after all.
The only things they knew so far were that the man's fishing rod could draw all the Chakra out of a person's body, and that he was incredibly fast—he'd swiftly escaped the range of their attacks, nearly catching Hiruzen off guard.
"Hand over the Nine-Tails and the following people, and I might consider sparing you!"
Otsutsuki Urashiki hovered in midair, his red-glowing fishing rod swaying gently.
"Let's put the Nine-Tails aside for now. Who are these people you want?" Naturally, Hiruzen couldn't hand over the Nine-Tails. He did want to find out who Urashiki cared about so much, though.
"First Tsunade, Second Kushina Uzumaki, Third Minato Namikaze," Otsutsuki Urashiki said indifferently.
???
First Tsunade?
Second Kushina Uzumaki?
Third Minato Namikaze?
(White Phosphorus would later change Konoha's policies and stop retaining Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Hiruzen Sarutobi as Hokage.)
They'd heard every word clearly. So why did it feel as if none of it made sense?
No good, we're under a genjutsu!
Hiruzen sensed something was wrong. His Chakra surged as he shouted, "Everyone, be careful! It's a genjutsu!"
Before his words had even faded, everyone present reacted.
After a long moment, nothing happened.
"Ugh!" White Phosphorus covered his face helplessly. He was the only one who knew it wasn't a genjutsu.
"Tsunade, Kushina, Minato Namikaze... What exactly happened in the future? Why wasn't my name mentioned?"
White Phosphorus was full of questions. By all rights, becoming Hokage had to be part of his plans. But his opponent hadn't mentioned him at all, so something had clearly gone wrong.
"Otsutsuki Urashiki, do me a favor and let's leave it at that!" White Phosphorus stepped out from behind the others.
He wanted to find out whether Urashiki had met him in the future.
If Urashiki hadn't met him in the future, then there was no telling what might happen.
"White Phosphorus?" Hiruzen wondered why he'd stepped forward.
"You're just a kid with a little talent. Why should I do you a favor?" Otsutsuki Urashiki replied bluntly.
"Heh!" White Phosphorus gave an awkward laugh and backed away.
From Urashiki's tone, it was obvious he didn't know who White Phosphorus was.
White Phosphorus frowned. If Urashiki didn't know him, that meant one of two things:
First, Otsutsuki Urashiki had never met him or fought him.
Either White Phosphorus had died in the future, or Urashiki's arrival had been part of his future plans, meaning he had no need to worry about what happened to him now.
Knowing himself, White Phosphorus was more inclined to believe the latter. Perhaps others had come with Otsutsuki Urashiki.
Second, Otsutsuki Urashiki came from another parallel world—one with a different transmigrator.
(Ugh, there's no need to dwell on that. After all, White Phosphorus is the protagonist.)
"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake? There's no First Tsunade, Second Kushina Uzumaki, or Third Minato Namikaze here," Hiruzen explained earnestly.
Everyone looked at Otsutsuki Urashiki strangely. Why did he seem like an idiot?
Had he just heard their names during the graduation exam and gotten reality mixed up with a dream? Was this powerful guy really that stupid?
"Hmph! Do you take me for a fool? Tsunade, the founder of Konoha Village, is right here. Do you still think you can fool me?" Otsutsuki Urashiki pointed at Tsunade and snapped.
"She is indeed called Tsunade, and she's my student, but she isn't Hokage." Hiruzen felt much more at ease. Maybe the guy was an idiot with nothing but a lot of strength.
"I know! In the future, she'll be the founder of Konoha and a threat to me. That's why I'm going to eliminate her in advance." Otsutsuki was now thoroughly enraged by the way everyone was looking at him.
"Uh, sir, I don't know what you mean by the future, but I can tell you that Konoha Village was founded by Tsunade's grandfather, Senju Hashirama."
"Our First was Senju Hashirama, the Second was Senju Hashirama, and now I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, am the Third of Konoha. I'm also known as the 'Professor of Ninjutsu,'" Hiruzen explained, thumping his chest with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Senju Hashirama? Senju Tobirama? Hiruzen Sarutobi?" Otsutsuki Urashiki stared at them in a daze. "I've never heard those names—or yours. Are you lying to me?"
"Pfft—" White Phosphorus couldn't help laughing. He hurriedly covered his mouth.
He understood now. This bastard had definitely been sent over by his future self to tell him about some of the things he'd do. Even if he knew, it probably wouldn't have much impact on the future.
Tsunade had heard Hiruzen talking to the idiot and couldn't hold back any longer.
Pointing at herself, she asked expressionlessly, "You're sure I'm the First?"
"Although I'm happy to hear that I'll become Hokage—after all, becoming Hokage is my dream—the truth is that my grandfather, Senju Hashirama, was the First. He founded Konoha Village. It had nothing to do with me."
Kushina was just as lively. She said happily, "Hey! You said I'm the Second? So, am I super strong? Can I beat Big Sister Tsunade?"
"Enough!" Urashiki was enraged by everyone's mockery. "No matter what you say, I'm killing Tsunade, Kushina Uzumaki, and Minato Namikaze today! And I'm taking the Nine-Tails!"
He had only just arrived at this point in time and wasn't familiar with the Ninja World as it was now.
Remembering what he'd been through before arriving here, he hated them even more. He only wanted to get rid of them ahead of time.
If he hadn't known that genjutsu from the Ninja World couldn't affect him, a member of the Otsutsuki Clan, he would have thought he was under a genjutsu.
Now, he didn't care whether what they said was true or not. All he wanted was to take them all out.
"Amenotejikara!"
At that moment, Otsutsuki Urashiki vanished in an instant.
In the spot where Otsutsuki Urashiki had been hovering, a pretty girl with pale yellow hair appeared. She looked to be about twelve years old.
Her eyes had several rings in them, making her look extraordinary.
"Sorry, everyone."
"This guy's got something wrong with his head. He just broke out of a seal, so I'm taking him away now." The girl stuck out her tongue apologetically at everyone, then turned to leave.
"Those eyes!" Everyone stared at the girl's eyes and cried out in shock.
"Could they be the Sage of Six Paths' eyes?"
"Wait!" Hiruzen called out at once.
"Hmm? Do you need something?" The girl tilted her head, puzzled.
"Those eyes of yours—and who was that just now? How come I've never heard of either of you?" Hiruzen asked.
"Oh, this?" The girl tilted her head with a sly grin. "You tell me. I don't have much time left, and I want to have a good look around here."
"I'm done playing with you. Bye-bye!"
"Stop!" White Phosphorus couldn't help calling out. "I have a question."
Tsunade quickly smacked White Phosphorus hard. Hadn't he noticed that this girl was even more dangerous than Otsutsuki Urashiki? If she was willing to leave, they should let her go. Why was he trying to stir up more trouble?
"Sorry, they're all just kids. They get a little too curious," Tsunade said.
When the girl saw White Phosphorus, she immediately looked interested and said cheerfully, "Go ahead and ask, but only one question. Otherwise, Big Sis will get mad and lecture me again."
Hiruzen and the other senior officials were immediately intrigued.
They'd never heard of Otsutsuki Urashiki or his abilities in the Ninja World, and the girl in front of them seemed just as mysterious.
