The content is quite simple: it's about Uchiha Jun using his authority to grant Uchiha Hikari a license to create content.
With this scroll, Uchiha Hikari's power became boundless, to the point that he could kill his own villager outside the village and still receive the ninja's compensation for the killed.
Upon seeing this, Namikaze Minato was startled after confirming the truth, but said nothing more.
Uchiha Hikari walked up to Naruto, his Sharingan staring directly into his eyes. "You just said that in your world, the Fourth Hokage isn't Orochimaru, right?"
Naruto felt a little uneasy under her gaze, but he still nodded with a forced smile, "Yes... the Fourth Hokage of our world, was... was... what was his name again?"
As he spoke, Uzumaki Naruto looked at Yamato beside him.
"Sigh... that guy... in our time, the Fourth Hokage was Namikaze Minato."
Yamato spoke, he involuntarily glanced at the blond youth beside him.
Namikaze Minato frowned.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikari turned to look at Namikaze Minato, "It seems we need to get to the bottom of this."
"You said before that not understanding the future is the greatest respect for history, but the current situation has gone beyond the scope of 'understanding the future'; it involves the differences between two worlds."
"So—" Uchiha Hikari's gaze sharpened, " Naruto, tell me the history of your world from beginning to end."
Naruto hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and began to tell the story of his world.
Orochimaru's defection, Namikaze Minato's appointment as the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails ' attack, the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, the Uchiha Clan Massacre, the Konoha Crush, the death of the Third Hokage, Tsunade the Fifth Hokage...
One name after another, one story after another, unfolds like a scroll amidst the yellow sand.
Namikaze Minato listened intently, but his expression grew increasingly complicated.
When he heard Naruto say that the Uchiha Clan was actually wiped out by Itachi Uchiha, his eyebrows suddenly twitched.
" The Uchiha Clan Massacre? Itachi Uchiha did it?" Namikaze Minato repeated the name. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Naruto nodded.
"He wiped out the Uchiha Clan in a single night!"
Namikaze Minato was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "It seems our two worlds are not the same. Does your Shinobi World have Uchiha Jun?"
Naruto and the others were stunned by what they heard.
Who is Uchiha Jun?
" Kakashi-sensei, tell me!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi began to explain the major events that had occurred since the start of the Third Shinobi World War.
This also includes Uchiha Jun's terrifying battle record and the current situation in Konoha.
Upon hearing that Uchiha Jun had single-handedly defeated the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Mizukage in succession, and also killed the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto and the others were all dumbfounded.
When he heard that Uchiha Jun the same age as Kakashi Hatake and had even taken Itachi Uchiha as his disciple, he exclaimed in surprise.
"What?! The same age as Kakashi-sensei?! Does that mean he's only a teenager?! Good heavens!!"
Just then, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky.
The sound grew closer and louder, as if some enormous creature was descending from the sky.
Everyone looked up--
A colossal steel behemoth, blotting out the sky, slowly emerged from the clouds into their field of vision.
Its enormous size almost blocked out half the sky, casting a shadow that enveloped the entire ancient city of Rōran.
"Th-what is that?!" Sakura Haruno exclaimed in surprise.
" Sky Fortress." Uchiha Hikari's voice was calm, yet carried a barely perceptible hint of amusement. "He's here."
As soon as she finished speaking, a small, jet-black snake emerged from her sleeve and spat out a tiny scroll.
Uchiha Hikari unfurled the scroll, which contained only one line of text:
[Look at the sky.]
She looked up; the Sky Fortress was slowly descending, getting closer and closer to the ground.
"It's Jun-kun." Uchiha Hikari turned to look at everyone. "He's arrived."
Naruto stared blankly at the enormous thing, his mind a complete mess.
Sky Fortress?
Uchiha Jun?
This world...
What exactly happened?!
The main hatch of the Sky Fortress slowly opened, and a tall, slender figure stepped out, standing at the edge of the hatch and looking down at the crowd below.
Uchiha Jun's gaze swept over Namikaze Minato, then over Naruto, and finally landed on Uchiha Hikari, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"What, are you surprised to see me?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Naruto opened his mouth, but found that he had no idea what to say.
Just then, another figure emerged from behind Uchiha Jun —a young man with red hair, wearing a black cloak, and a scroll hanging from his waist.
" Sasori of the Red Sands?!" Yamato contracted sharply, and almost instinctively assumed a fighting stance. "How did you get here?!"
"Oh?" Sasori raised an eyebrow, looking at Yamato. "You know me?"
"The S-rank missing-nin of Sunagakure, the genius puppeteer Sasori of the Red Sands —who doesn't know him?" Yamato gritted his teeth. "Why are you with... Uchiha Jun?"
"Because—" A faint smile played at the corners of Scorpion's lips, "He's my boss."
"Boss?!"
Naruto, Sakura, Yamato, and Sai exclaimed in unison once again.
The owner of Sasori of the Red Sands?
Just who is this Uchiha Jun?!
"Alright, we can catch up later." Uchiha Jun leaped down from the hatch, landing steadily on the ground. He dusted off his hands. "Now, let's deal with the immediate problem."
Uchiha Jun looked at Sara: "The Queen of Rōran, right?"
Sara nodded, looking somewhat nervously at the boy who seemed even younger than herself.
" Anrokuzan has already transformed the underground Dragon Vein into a puppet fortress," Uchiha Jun. "I plan to use the Sky Fortress's Railgun to blast it to smithereens."
"What?!" Sara's face changed drastically. "No! The people of Rōran are still in the city!"
"War always results in death." Uchiha Jun's tone was so calm, as if he were talking about something trivial. "If we don't destroy the Dragon Vein, once Anrokuzan completely controls that power, even more people will die."
"But--"
"Jun-kun," Uchiha Hikari suddenly spoke, interrupting him, "Let me lead them to rescue the civilians first, then we can take action, okay?"
Uchiha Jun glanced at Uchiha Hikari, then at Sara holding hands with Uchiha Hikari, and nodded.
"Have you made any new friends?"
"Okay, since you've put it that way, I'll offer you some help."
After saying that, Uchiha Jun turned around, looked at Namikaze Minato's team, and casually took out four Sealing Scroll from his pocket and threw them over.
"This is four million taels; consider it payment for this temporary task."
"Your mission is to rescue as many people as possible from Rōran, while ensuring your own safety."
Namikaze Minato and the others took the scroll, opened it, and were slightly taken aback.
Inside, one million taels of silver notes were neatly stacked.
The task requirements aren't even that demanding; it's practically free!
It seems that Uchiha Hikari holds a special place in Uchiha Jun's heart!
"This..." Namikaze Minato, the squad leader, exchanged glances with the others beside him, then looked up at Uchiha Jun, "Advisor Jun, are you hiring us?"
"I guess so." Uchiha Jun shrugged. "Anyway, you guys are going to rescue people, so why not earn some extra money on the side? It's a good deal, isn't it? Just consider it an A-Rank Mission I, as your advisor, have given you."
"I remember your mission was simply to seal the Dragon Vein and kill Anrokuzan, right?"
"Saving these people is not within your mission scope. Take this."
Naruto friends couldn't help but swallow hard as they watched this scene.
Four million taels...
A top-tier A-Rank Mission reward!
And it's all real, with no commission whatsoever!
Just give it away like that?
After saying that, Uchiha Jun vanished from the spot in a flash.
Having already learned about the situation here from the Mofang's Cube, Uchiha Jun was quite shocked by the theory of parallel worlds.
But there's no doubt that we need to improve our strength as soon as possible!
As for contacting Naruto, it wouldn't be of much use, since Uchiha Jun knows the original plot, so the greatest value of Naruto group would be lost.
As for Madara Uchiha after extracting half of the Nine-Tails from Naruto?
It's not very useful, and what if Naruto half-dead him, and then the Six Paths Elder comes back to life and gives him a cheat Golden Finger?
After much deliberation, Uchiha Jun decided to give Uzumaki Naruto and the others a few small gifts when he saw them off.
Naruto and the others stared blankly in the direction where Uchiha Jun disappeared, unable to come to their senses for a long time.
"Um..." Uzumaki Naruto turned to Kakashi Hatake, " Kakashi-sensei, who exactly is that Uchiha Jun...?"
Kakashi Hatake was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Him...?"
"He is the leader of Konoha's Root, a disciple of Lord Orochimaru, and the ruler of the Uchiha Clan— "
"Indeed, the only ninja in this world whom even the Five Kage fear!"
Naruto's eyes widened.
Sakura Haruno covered her mouth.
Yamato and Sai looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
"So much so that even the Five Kage were too afraid to move..."
Naruto murmured the same phrase repeatedly, his mind a complete blank.
In this world, Orochimaru is the Hokage, Uchiha Jun is a powerful figure feared even by the Five Kage.
What a crazy world this is!
Inside the main control room of the Sky Fortress, pale blue Chakra light flowed among countless runes, illuminating the entire control cabin as if it were daytime.
As Uchiha Jun Earth Flow leisurely through the hatch with Sasori of the Red Sands in his pockets, Seimei stood in front of the central control panel, his ten mechanical fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, leaving afterimages in their wake.
"Boss!"
Hearing footsteps, Seimei shouted without turning around, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, " The Railgun is fully charged! The current energy reserves are enough to support continuous output for seventy-two hours. Even if we turned the entire Rōran upside down and plowed it for three days and three nights, it would still be more than enough!"
Uchiha Jun walked to his side, glanced at the data flashing on the screen, and smiled slightly, "No need to plow for three days and three nights, this is just a test of single-shot output strength."
Uchiha Jun paused, then turned his gaze to the desolate land covered in yellow sand outside the window. "The real combat test will have to wait until we're on the moon."
"The moon?!" Seimei's hand suddenly stopped, the mechanical joints making a slight grinding sound. He turned his head, his artificial lens eyes flashing with disbelief.
"Boss, are you serious? We can really fly to the moon?"
"What, scared?"
"Scared? Haha!"
Seimei burst into laughter, patting his chest vigorously. "Boss, thanks to your suggestion! I've now completed the initial stages of your proposed ' Soul Casket ' concept!"
"As long as those damned aliens on the moon don't have the ability to bind souls, even if my body is destroyed, I can be reborn through the Soul Casket in the Shinobi World!"
"Wherever you say, we'll go! The moon is great, I've been wanting to see what it's like up there for ages!"
Uchiha Jun smiled but didn't reply.
At this moment, Sasori of the Red Sands, who had been standing silently at the door, finally spoke.
"Boss, I've done a preliminary analysis of those puppets of Anrokuzan that you showed me."
Uchiha Jun turned around and looked at him. "Oh? Tell me about it."
Sasori of the Red Sands raised his right hand, and with a gentle flick of his five fingers, several transparent Chakra Threads shot out from his fingertips, connecting to a pile of puppet remains stacked in a distant corner.
The remains, pulled by Chakra Threads, slowly rose up like marionettes before scattering into a pile of parts.
These remains were taken from Anrokuzan's puppets on the ground.
" Anrokuzan's puppet regime followed a 'military-based' approach."
Sasori of the Red Sands's gaze fell on the parts, his tone as calm as if he were evaluating an insignificant tool.
"Compared to the traditional 'elite' puppetry tradition of Sunagakure, each puppet individually is crudely made, with joint tolerances exceeding two millimeters."
"The metal used is the lowest grade iron ore—in Sunagakure, its quality is even worse than the crude Crow, Ibuse, and Black Ant I made as a child."
Then, Scorpion paused, then changed the subject. "But Anrokuzan has one advantage that traditional puppeteers cannot match."
" Dragon Vein Chakra," Uchiha Jun said for him.
"That's right." Sasori of the Red Sands nodded. "The surface of these puppets is covered with a layer of active Dragon Vein Chakra."
"The existence of this Chakra greatly enhances the structural stability of the puppet and gives it self-repair capabilities—more importantly, it makes the puppet's control extremely 'exclusive'."
He raised his hand, and the few Chakra Threads trembled slightly, as if trying to connect to the core of one of the puppet remains.
The wreckage only swayed slightly before quickly returning to stillness.
"Conventional puppet strings cannot seize control of Anrokuzan's puppets; they can only passively wait for the Dragon Vein Chakra on these puppets to run out."
A flicker of interest crossed Sasori of the Red Sands Dragon Vein Chakra, in the realm of puppet manipulation, is almost equivalent to a mark of 'absolute ownership'."
"Interesting." Uchiha Jun leaned against the control panel, arms crossed. "You sound quite interested in the Dragon Vein?"
Sasori of the Red Sands was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"If one can master the power of the Dragon Vein, then the puppeteer will no longer be limited by the number of puppets they can control, nor by the distance they can control them!"
"In theory, I can control thousands of puppets simultaneously, covering every corner of the entire battlefield!"
Sasori of the Red Sands's voice remained calm, but Uchiha Jun could hear a long-suppressed desire flowing beneath that calm.
"At that time, my strength will experience a qualitative leap!"
Uchiha Jun's lips curled into a smile, knowing that Anrokuzan's manipulation of the puppet army had inspired Sasori of the Red Sands to later develop one of his trump cards, the ' Hundred Puppets Performance '.
Seeing this, Seimei couldn't help but interject, "Boss, since the Dragon Vein is so powerful, why don't we capture Anrokuzan alive?"
"That kid definitely knows how to use the Dragon Vein. Capturing him alive is better than killing him, right?"
Uchiha Jun chuckled, took a Sealing Scroll from his ninja tool pouch, and casually tossed it onto the control panel.
"You think I didn't consider capturing him alive?" Uchiha Jun pointed to the Sealing Scroll. "This is the Kunai that Uzumaki Naruto used to wound Anrokuzan, which I found on the battlefield."
"The bloodstains and tissue left on it from Anrokuzan are enough for me to use the Impure World Reincarnation to pull him out of the Pure Land."
Then, a playful glint flashed in Uchiha Jun's eyes. "Moreover, my Shadow Clone has already probed down there."
" Anrokuzan is a coward. His lair is buried a hundred meters underground in Rōran, and it is covered with layers of traps, mechanisms, and puppets. The underground palace alone has seven layers, and each layer is filled with self-destruct devices and Explosive Tag traps."
"One shot from the Railgun would be enough to shatter that hundred-meter-deep underground palace, exposing the core of the Dragon Vein at the very bottom and Anrokuzan's lair!"
Seimei was stunned, his voice filled with undisguised admiration. "Boss! Brilliant! That's killing two birds with one stone!"
Uchiha Jun waved his hand, turning his gaze to the window. "Alright, stop flattering me, let's prepare for launch. We'll fire once Hikaru's side is almost ready."
Meanwhile, in the ancient city of Rōran, outside the underground palace.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and the sound of metal clashing mingled with the wind. Countless puppets surged out of the underground palace like a tide, surrounding the gathering place of the Rōran people.
Uchiha Hikari stood on a dilapidated rooftop, his long, blood-red hair flying in the wind. His Mangekyō Sharingan were now peering through layers of yellow sand, locking onto a group of Rōran people in the distance.
"The people of Rōran are trapped in the square about 300 meters ahead."
Chino crouched beside her, her Ketsuryūgan glowing slightly as she unleashed her full perception. "There are at least four hundred people, including the elderly, women, and children. Anrokuzan's puppets have already surrounded the plaza and are trying to tighten the encirclement."
Namikaze Minato stood behind them, a specially made Kunai in his hand, his brow furrowed. "We need to break in quickly and rescue the civilians, but there are too many of those puppets. A direct assault might injure these ordinary people."
"Then let's just push through." Uchiha Hikari's voice was icy, without the slightest hesitation.
Namikaze Minato paused slightly, "But—"
"There are no 'buts'." Uchiha Hikari turned his head, his Mangekyō Sharingan flashing with a dangerous light.
"Captain Minato, I know what you're worried about, but I have something to tell you—"
"I am not just a pretty face."
The next instant, a terrifying surge of Chakra erupted from Uchiha Hikari's body!
Crimson Chakra swept around like a storm, rapidly condensing and shaping around Uchiha Hikari's body—first a massive rib-like skeleton, then muscle fibers, and finally a thick outer shell covering it!
The three forms of the half-body armored Susanoo shape amidst the swirling yellow sand!
"This, this is--" Namikaze Minato's pupils shrank suddenly, Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.
Uzumaki Naruto, Yamato, Akimichi Choza, and the others around them were also dumbfounded as they stared at the massive, solidified Chakra before them.
" Susanoo - Third Power!" Uchiha Hikari's voice emanated from the Susanoo's skeleton, carrying a superior and composed air. "Don't worry, this isn't even my full power."
Uchiha Hikari turned to look at Yugito beside him. " Yugito, it's your turn."
Yugito nodded, took a deep breath, and the Tailed Beast Chakra within him erupted!
A deep blue Tailed Beast Cloak instantly covered her entire body, and behind her, two tails formed from Tailed Beast Chakra swayed like flames.
" Two-Tails - Release!"
"Roar--!"
With a deafening roar, the Yugito entered its Complete Tailed Beast Transformation state.
A gigantic, dark blue cat, the size of a five-story building, appeared out of nowhere before everyone!
The next moment, Uchiha Hikari Susanoo, waved his hand and covered the Tailed Beast Transformation Yuki's Yugito with the Susanoo's Chakra Armor!
--Two-Tails Beast - Majestic Attire: Susanoo!
The azure Tailed Beast Cloak and the deep red Susanoo Chakra merged perfectly, forming a layer of armor that shimmered with purple light on Yugito's Tailed Beast Transformation!
In addition, two more Susanoo arms, each wielding a Malay sword, sprouted from the Nekomata's shoulders!
The oppressive atmosphere made everyone present feel suffocated!
"W-What kind of Ninjutsu is this?" Namikaze Minato opened his mouth, surprised but also relieved.
Chino, on the other hand, seemed quite calm, gently patting Namikaze Minato on the shoulder. "Captain Minato, you'll get used to it. The people around Jun-sama are all monsters."
"Walk!"
"Bang--"
At Uchiha Hikari's command, Susanoo's giant hand pointed forward, and the Two-Tails Yugito shot out like a cannonball, carving a straight path through the group of puppets in the center of the plaza!
Those puppets blocking her way were no match for her.
The claws covered by Susanoo's armor could tear apart more than a dozen puppets with each swing, and the explosion of the Nekomata fireball, enhanced by Susanoo, directly blasted swathes of puppets into pieces!
