Issei (Shiraha) followed Naruto and Sasuke westward toward Konoha. Along the way, high-rise buildings stood tall, and the streets were neatly planned and orderly. Many buildings had the characteristics of a modern city. Every Konoha had a happy smile on their face, and the whole village was full of vitality.
After the Fourth Great Ninja War, the world entered a period of peace and development that lasted for more than a decade.
The arms race has turned into an economic competition between countries and villages.
Each ninja village has begun to apply ninjutsu to production and daily life. Each village is making full use of its existing resources and developing industries such as agriculture, forestry, fishery, and tourism according to local conditions. However, they are all in the exploratory stage at present.
Overall, the economic development of each village has entered a fast track during peacetime.
As the economy expands, the ninja villages have become less reliant on funding from the daimyo, and the ninjas have begun to adapt to the changing times.
Issei (Shiraha) traveled, he saw modern facilities everywhere. If it weren't for the ninjas everywhere, he would have thought he had returned to his original body's first life.
The Konoha in this world is at least twice the size of the Konoha in the world that Issei (Shiraha) came to.
After passing through the bustling streets, the three of them arrived at the westernmost gate of Konoha. Once outside the gate, an endless forest came into view.
As he ventured deeper into the forest, Issei (Shiraha) sensed a surge of Chakra ahead, remembering the ninjas on guard in the treetops and underground.
Soon, Issei (Shiraha) arrived at a cluster of buildings in the center of the forest.
Naruto made a hand gesture to the ninjas hiding in the shadows, and they remained where they were, not appearing.
At this moment, a boy walked out from the left side of the building. He was carrying a small hoe in his left hand and holding a wooden basin in his right arm, which was filled with fresh vegetables that were still covered with dew and soil. They had obviously just been dug out of the ground.
The boy had short white hair and pale skin. The back of his clothes was printed with the Uchiha Clan crest. What was most striking was that although he was only about ten years old, he had a pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Upon seeing Naruto and Sasuke arrive with a stranger, the boy paused for a moment, then quickly put down what he was holding and bowed respectfully to the two men with a reserved expression. "Seventh Hokage, Lord Sasuke."
"Don't be nervous, this is Issei. We're here to see Kabuto about something." Naruto smiled gently.
"Yes." The boy hurriedly opened the door and ran into the room, shouting as he ran, "Kabuto-sensei! The Seventh Hokage and Lord Sasuke have arrived, as well as Issei- sama."
Issei (Shiraha) followed Naruto and Sasuke into the first wooden bungalow with a blue triangular roof. Inside, tables and chairs were neatly arranged, making it look like a canteen, but it was empty.
The three of them walked out of the opposite door and came to the center of an empty playground, surrounded by the same single-story buildings as before.
At this moment, many teenagers were doing free activities on the playground. These teenagers looked very similar to the boy who had been carrying the wooden basin earlier. There was no obvious difference in their appearance or height, and each of them possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Are they all clones?" Issei (Shiraha) looked surprised. This Shin Uchiha is really amazing. The number of people with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is almost the same as the number of people with the Uchiha Clan in their world. The most important thing is that these teenagers seem to be clones based on Shin Uchiha's cells. They not only have the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but also the Mangekyō Sharingan.
No wonder so many Anbu are monitoring this place. These children are still growing up. If one of them becomes emotionally unstable or runs away, these Mangekyō Sharingan could turn the outside world upside down.
Even if the twenty or thirty teenagers who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan are all clones and their upper limit is already fixed, each of them can become Kage Level powerhouse with just a little training.
If the Uchiha Clan of Konoha had so many Mangekyō Sharingan, they probably would have seized power long ago. In the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha could probably have wiped out two ninja villages first, and unifying the Shinobi World would have been just a matter of time.
Indeed, science and technology are the primary productive forces. Even in a world with extraordinary powers, the power of scientific research is extremely important.
Of course, the main reason is that Shin Uchiha's physique is extremely special.
Although Shin Uchiha of this world has been completely destroyed, he left behind many clones, which can provide a lot of cells for experiments.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, when we return to the original world, we should be able to find Shin Uchiha in his youth.
"Naruto, Sasuke."
A gentle voice sounded, Yakushi Kabuto emerged from the inner room, dressed in a black robe similar to a nun's habit, covering all parts of his body except his head.
In Issei's (Shiraha's ) view, Kabuto's appearance was very different from what they had imagined Kabuto would look like when he grew up in their world. At first glance, he looked a lot like a replica of Orochimaru, with clumps of keratin on his face that resembled snake scales, and his eyes had turned into bright yellow snake pupils. He was also wearing the same purple eyeshadow as Orochimaru.
His skin showed an unhealthy, pale white color, clearly caused by Cell Experiment.
Issei (Shiraha) glanced behind Kabuto. There was a noticeable bulge at the back of his robe, revealing a tail that looked like a snake's head.
It seems that Kabuto had transplanted snake cells and Orochimaru's cells, otherwise he wouldn't look so similar to Orochimaru.
"Who is this?" Yakushi Kabuto looked at Issei (Shiraha) standing next to Naruto and Sasuke with a puzzled expression.
"My name is Uchiha Issei," Issei (Shiraha) introduced himself.
"Uchiha?" Yakushi Kabuto's expression shifted. Apart from Shin Uchiha, a fanatical follower of Uchiha Itachi, the only true Uchiha left was Sasuke's lineage.
Seeing that the surrounding clones had stopped moving and were all focusing their attention on them, Naruto added, "We've come to see you about something very important."
"I understand, come in and talk." Yakushi Kabuto nodded, then said to a boy beside him, "Ita, lunch is ready. You and Shunsuke take the others to the cafeteria first."
"Yes, Dean!" The clone named Ita relaxed, as long as Naruto and Sasuke weren't here to see them.
Previously, some of them, out of playfulness, used the spatial abilities of their Mangekyō Sharingan to escape, and almost got into a fight outside Konoha.
Although Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, didn't blame them, they were still very worried about this matter.
Life in the Orphanage is already very good for them.
After all, Shin Uchiha, who created them and whom they called 'father,' only treated them as tools. When they were injured, he used their bodies as spare parts, arbitrarily taking their lives, and never treated them as human beings.
I am already very content to be taken in by the Orphanage and to live a peaceful and stable life every day.
As time went on, some of the clones of Shin Uchiha developed relatively mature minds, while a very few still resembled children.
While Ita and Shunsuke are basically the same as the other clones in appearance, they are mentally like adults. The two of them are already able to help Kabuto manage this special Orphanage and take care of all the 'brothers'.
After receiving Kabuto's instructions, Ita went to another clone who looked almost exactly like him and together they called the other clones to the cafeteria in front.
Hopefully, their peaceful days will not be disrupted.
With this thought in mind, Ita left with Shunsuke.
Issei (Shiraha) walked into the room with Naruto and Sasuke.
Dou walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for each of the three, then sat down and asked, "It's rare for you to come all this way, so it seems you have something very important to discuss. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that Naruto seemed ready to explain, Issei (Shiraha) spoke first, saying, "Let me explain, it'll be faster."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto turned his gaze to Issei (Shiraha).
"My name is Uchiha Issei, and I come from the Uchiha Clan in another Parallel World. As for why I came to this world, it was by chance, but now we are here to help each other." Issei (Shiraha) gave a brief self-introduction, then clenched his fist and extended his hand to Yakushi Kabuto.
Kabuto paused for a moment, but wasn't particularly surprised. After the incident involving the Otsutsuki Clan, it seemed that nothing was difficult for him to understand or accept anymore. He glanced at Issei (Shiraha), then bumped fists with him, and their Chakra merged together.
With Kabuto's intelligence, he quickly understood the concept of Parallel World through the memory images. However, what interested Kabuto more than the other world he saw in the memory images, which was very similar to them but had a different development trajectory, was the Cell Experiment technology that Issei (Shiraha) transmitted through his memories.
"This is truly an experimental technique that can be described as art!"
The world where Issei (Shiraha) lives is more than 20 years ahead of their world in terms of timeline development, but its development in Cell Experiment technology has reached an extremely high level.
Although the development of Cloning Technology has not been completed, breakthroughs have been made in cell fusion, viability preservation, and bloodline transplantation.
To be honest, if Issei (Shiraha) had given Kabuto these technologies before the Fourth Shinobi World War, he felt that he might have been able to use them to end the unification of the Shinobi World.
However, after being baptized by Itachi's Izanami Technique, Kabuto has rediscovered himself.
To deal with the Otsutsuki Clan, we still need combat power at the level of Naruto and Sasuke. Even if he were to transplant Otsutsuki Clan cells, he might not be stronger than Naruto and Sasuke.
Moreover, after rediscovering himself, Kabuto's interest in this area is now purely academic, rather than driven by a desire for power.
Moreover, it's not just Konoha; the entire Shinobi World is quite averse to Cell Experiment.
In recent years, Dou has mainly focused on taking care of the clones, neglecting experiments and technology development.
"What a pity." Issei (Shiraha) sighed inwardly. Naruto and Sasuke in this world were truly wasting their talents. In fact, as long as they supported Kabuto and Orochimaru's Cell Experiment, it felt like they wouldn't even need his and the original's help. After spending a certain amount of time, they could greatly improve Naruto and Sasuke's combat power. They still didn't understand each other on a deeper level.
Thinking of this, Issei (Shiraha) looked at Kabuto and asked, "How long will it take you to master the technology you obtained from me? In order to deal with the Otsutsuki Clan and for closer cooperation, I need your help. First, help Sasuke cultivate an arm using Otsutsuki cells so that he can evolve another Rinnegan."
"I haven't conducted experiments for many years, and it will probably take me one or two years to fully master it," Kabuto answered truthfully. However, he changed the subject and added, "Why don't you ask Lord Orochimaru? If it were him, he could probably master this technology completely in a few months at most, and might even make a breakthrough."
"On the way here, I already sent someone to inform Yamato to bring Orochimaru over," Naruto added from the side.
"So the enemy we've encountered this time is really that powerful?" Kabuto frowned.
"Actually, I don't know exactly how strong the enemy is, but they shouldn't be much Kaguya Otsutsuki," Sasuke said in a deep voice. He had investigated the ruins left by the Otsutsuki Clan in the Alternate Space using his Rinnegan, and all the signs indicated that there were even stronger Otsutsuki Clan Member.
The arrival of Issei (Shiraha) made them realize the vastness of the universe. Not only are there powerful creatures like the Otsutsuki, but there are also multiple Parallel World. Therefore, they no longer harbored any wishful thinking deep down as before.
"I understand, I will do my best to help." Dou nodded and said seriously.
Even if he has become more laid-back now and only wants to be the director of an Orphanage to take care of the children, this is still on the premise that Naruto and Sasuke can protect the Shinobi World.
If the world were to fall under the control of the Otsutsuki Clan, he would no longer be able to live the peaceful life he desires.
"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite and will make my demands." After handing over some of the technology he had mastered, Issei (Shiraha) prepared to ask for it.
Because Kabuto was wary of him earlier, he received very few memories; it was mostly Issei (Shiraha) who unilaterally transferred the memories to Kabuto.
"If possible, I'd like to receive some cells from the children at the Orphanage. If you could give me a few Mangekyō Sharingan, that would be even better. With the technology you have now, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate ordinary eyes for them, right?" Issei (Shiraha) continued.
Shin Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan has the ability to remotely control objects after leaving a mark, and it also has spatial abilities, making it very valuable for experimentation.
Dou hesitated for a moment before replying, "We'll have to ask the children for their opinions."
"Of course." Issei (Shiraha) nodded. He knew from Kabuto's attitude towards these clones that he had been very careful with his wording when he made his demands.
"Orochimaru has arrived." At this moment, Naruto suddenly spoke up.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yamato arrived at the Orphanage with Orochimaru.
Meanwhile, Issei (Shiraha) also met Orochimaru of this world. He was wearing a white kimono and looked much younger, as if he was just over twenty years old.
Orochimaru walked into the room and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Naruto and Sasuke to come to me on their own initiative, and even to Kabuto's place."
As he spoke, Orochimaru met Issei's (Shiraha) scrutinizing gaze.
P. S.: I'm single again, boohoo~~~ The group number is in the description, come join the group and comfort me.
