Konohagakure, In the intensive care hospital temporarily built after the war, the air was filled with a strong pungent disinfectant smell and a faint smell of blood.
"I just went to Hokage Building's temporary office, but I was in vain. I didn't expect you to come here." Ian put his hands in the pockets of his large windbreaker and leaned against the door frame of the hospital corridor with a very casual attitude. His eyes swept over the injured patients lying on the hospital bed and whining in pain, and finally fell on the blond woman who was extremely busy.
"What? The great Tsunade Lord Ji, are you going back to your old business and doing Medical Ninja's old profession?" A playful chuckle appeared at the corner of Ian's mouth.
Hearing this familiar and unbeatable voice, Tsunade stopped the healing technique at hand and turned his head suddenly. A trace of extremely complex emotions flashed across his bloodshot eyes. "You guy... where have you been these days? It's been a full month since I last saw you, a dangerous person like you!"
"It's only been a month, is there any need to make such a fuss?" Ian shrugged indifferently, as if he just went out for a walk.
"Only one month? Do you have any sense of time? That's more than thirty days!" Tsunade glared at him angrily, his chest heaving violently with excitement.
At this juncture when Konoha had just experienced the collapse of its plan and was running out of resources, a terrifying existence with the power to challenge or even destroy the entire Shinobi World suddenly disappeared from the world. This made Tsunade, who knew his details, live in fear every day, fearing that this madman was secretly harboring some conspiracy to destroy the world.
"Oh, sorry, sorry. I almost forgot, I am now standing at the top of the dimension, an immortal species with an almost endless lifespan." Ian patted his forehead solemnly, with an undisguised aura of Versailles in his tone.
"For existences like us, the passage of time is fundamentally different from that of you mortals. Just take a nap or do an experiment, and decades will pass. It seems that I really have to record this 'difference in time perception' in the future to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
When Tsunade heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "You mean, in your world, it is commonplace to not see your family and wife for several years or even decades in order to do research or retreat?"
"Of course. Since we have almost eternal life, time has naturally become the cheapest currency, and what we are most indispensable for is this thing." Ian nodded matter-of-factly.
"It's really an extremely deformed and twisted family relationship." Tsunade couldn't help but give his own evaluation.
"Maybe. But..." The smile on Ian's face suddenly turned extremely joking. He leaned forward slightly and stared directly into Tsunade's eyes. "You dignified Legendary Sannin, why are you suddenly so concerned about my personal life and family situation? Are you paying too much attention to me?"
Being stared at by this extremely aggressive gaze, a rare and extremely unnatural blush flashed across Tsunade's face. She coughed twice in embarrassment and tried to hide her guilty conscience. "Ahem... stop putting gold on yourself! You are an extremely dangerous unstable factor. For the best interests of Konohagakure, I must always keep track of your movements and collect all the intelligence about you as much as possible. This is purely for strategic considerations!"
"Oh? Is that really like this?" Ian protracted his voice, and the half-smiling expression seemed to have seen through the disguise deep in her soul.
Tsunade simply hated the unbeatable expression on his face that he had everything under control. Just as he was about to retort, Ian approached her very abruptly, lowered his voice and chuckled, "But to be honest, I really like your duplicitous 'tsundere' attribute."
"Tsundere? What the hell is that?" Tsunade's brows instantly stood up. Although she didn't understand this very modern two-dimensional word, her womanly intuition and Beast-like fighting instinct called the police frantically, telling her that this was definitely not a good word, and it was definitely the kind that would make her run wild on the spot!
"The secret must not be leaked. I dare not explain it to you here. If you demolish this temporary hospital that was finally built in anger, then the glorious image of the Chosen One that you have just established will be completely wiped out." Ian spread his hands very casually.
Only then did Tsunade look around as if she had just woken up from a dream, and was extremely shocked to find that the nurses, injured patients, and passing Konoha ninjas all stopped what they were doing and were staring at her with extremely strange eyes full of gossip!
With Tsunade's powerful hearing, he could even capture the whispers coming from the corner very clearly, "Oh my God... who is that young and handsome guy? Master Tsunade is actually flirting with him in public?" "Could it be that Master Tsunade raised him outside..."
"Cough cough cough! Follow me to the office!" Tsunade just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. She grabbed Ian's collar extremely roughly, opened her long slender legs, and rushed to her interim dean's office like a gust of wind.
"Bang!"
The door was shut extremely roughly, and a soundproofing note was affixed by Tsunade.
"Do you know how outrageous the rumors outside will be spread by your frivolous behavior just now?" Ian found a sofa to sit down very casually, and teased in a very bad way while playing with his fingers.
"I can already imagine the headlines of <Hidden Leaf Village Tabloid> tomorrow: 'Shocked! The legendary Legendary Sannin Tsunade Ji drags a mysterious and handsome man into a private office late at night! What are they plotting? Is it an ulterior sex deal? Or is it a shocking scandal of pregnancy out of wedlock? For details, please read the exclusive news in this issue!'"
Tsunade stared at the man in front of her who was talking about cheating. She had lived for more than fifty years and had seen Shinobi World countless intrigues, but she had never seen such a shameless guy with such a huge brain!
"Sometimes I really doubt you are a liar. How could an old monster who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years say such extremely ridiculous, vulgar and disgusting words?" Tsunade said through gritted teeth.
"When you live as long as I have, you will understand an extremely profound Truth: If you cannot maintain a young and malicious heart, then this long and eternal life will become as boring as a pool of stagnant water."
Ian shrugged nonchalantly, a perfect blend of vicissitudes and joking flashed through his deep eyes, "What's more, you have never seen a truly modern and civilized gossip tabloid in your life. In order to defraud readers of their pitiful subscription fees, their headline methods are 10,000 times more extreme than what I just said."
"I'm just too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Tsunade rubbed his temples extremely irritably and turned his attention to Ian's body, "But judging from your lively appearance, your injury seems to have been completely healed?"
"It's not even close. This is just a prosthetic limb made with a little trick." Ian said, raising his right arm very casually.
Under the extremely shocking gaze of Tsunade, Ian's fair skin, which originally looked like ordinary people, suddenly lost all disguise and turned into an extremely cold, Blink cyberpunk metal mechanical arm with a faint blue arcane luster!
"I used extremely high-end bionic synthetic skin for camouflage. Even the highest-end Byakugan can't tell the difference without using any force." Ian moved those mechanical fingers full of profiteering aesthetics extremely flexibly, and the friction of the metal joints made an extremely subtle and cold mechanical gear bite sound.
Tsunade's gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet, staring at the mechanical arm. As a top Medical Ninja, she instantly sensed the extremely terrifying strategic value behind this technology.
"This... what a breathtaking miraculous technology this is! If Konoha can master this level of prosthetic manufacturing technology, then countless disabled ninjas who lost their hands and feet in cruel wars and SSS-level missions, were forced to retire early, or even committed suicide in despair, will regain the opportunity to live like normal people, or even return to the battlefield!" Tsunade's voice was so excited that he was trembling slightly.
"Put away your unrealistic fantasies. This core technology involving direct connection between high-dimensional souls and Arcane Magitech Engineering is too advanced for your low-latitude primitive world where electricity has not yet been fully popularized. You can't even handle the most basic materials science." Ian poured cold water on it extremely cruelly.
But just when Tsunade's eyes dimmed, Ian changed the topic again. "However, I can reluctantly give you an extremely degraded 'castrated version'. You can completely use The chakra line control principle of Puppeteer is replaced by some special Chakra-Conducting Metal. As a bonus, I can also package and give you a set of extremely complete 'perfect re-attachment surgery plan for severed limbs', provided that the cell activity of the severed limb has not completely died."
"There will be no pie in the sky. Tell me, what is your intention in doing this?" Tsunade instantly regained the vigilance that a person in power should have, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"I hate your dark mentality of always thinking the worst about people. Even if I don't give you these rubbish technologies, I will still make my request to you." Ian snorted extremely arrogantly, "What's more, the reason why I asked you for help is purely It's simply because I'm too lazy to do it myself, and I don't want to oversquander the remaining magic power in my body. Otherwise, I only need to release an extremely small super-wide range of mental scanning forbidden spells, and I can strip away all the secrets on your little broken planet to the bone!"
Under this terrifying aura of not being angry and self-defeating, Tsunade had to admit that what the other party said was an extremely cruel truth. If this devil really wanted to steal it, no one or any force in the current Shinobi World could stop him.
"Okay, let me believe you for once." Tsunade took a deep breath, took out several extremely high-end blank seal scrolls from the drawer and handed them over. Ian didn't talk nonsense, and waved the remaining one arm like an afterimage, and very quickly imprinted the castrated version of the prosthetic technology and surgical plan on the scrolls with chakra text, and handed it to the other party.
"In addition to this knowledge, I also have an extremely special little gift for you." Ian said, flipping his wrist in an extremely weird way, and a tube of ghost green Potions that exuded extremely strong vitality, as if it could bring dead trees to spring, appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"What the hell is this?" Tsunade looked at the bottle of Potions, and the alarm bells in his heart rang loudly again.
"This is a bottle of 'Bloodline Awakening Potion' that has been extremely exquisitely formulated by the Empire Supreme Research Institute. As long as you drink it, it can completely activate the Senju Clan royal gene in your body that has been in an extremely recessive and semi-sleeping state. With it, you can Perfectly awaken your grandfather's powerful Shinobi World'Wood Release'Kekkei Genkai." Ian explained extremely casually, as if what he sent was not a divine object that could change the Shinobi World situation, but a big cabbage..
Tsunade was completely stunned. She looked at the bottle of green liquid exuding fatal temptation in extreme disbelief, and then at Ian, her brain falling into an extremely serious shutdown state. "You... why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? What ulterior purpose do you have?"
"Does this still need a reason?" Ian raised his eyebrows in a very bad way and said in an extremely frivolous tone, "Gift-giving is a special language for me to express my love."
"The exclusive language to express love? What kind of extremely weird and disgusting way of expression is this?!" Tsunade was so shocked by these sudden words of love that she had goosebumps all over her body. But looking at the bottle of Potions that weighed more than a thousand kilograms in her hand, her heart was turbulent and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Okay, don't stay there in a daze. Now that Orochimaru's Konoha Collapse Plan has completely gone bankrupt, and the old man Hiruzen Sarutobi is still alive, shouldn't you also consider taking over as the fifth generation Hokage?" Ian changed the topic extremely bluntly.
"There is no such plan at the moment. Since the old man was lucky enough to save his life, let him continue to clean up this mess." Tsunade replied extremely coldly.
"He is not a qualified Hokage." Ian commented unceremoniously, with extreme contempt in his tone, "He is extremely cowardly and indecisive, allowing those extremely corrupt senior elders to do whatever they want in the dark. Of course, now that Danzo is the rat hiding in the sewer, I have conveniently destroyed him. This old man doesn't have this cancer to hold him back, and maybe he can still play a very weak positive role as the shadow of a village."
Tsunade listened in extreme silence. Although she still respected her teacher emotionally, on an absolutely rational level, she had to admit with great sadness that every word Ian said was a cruel fact.
"By the way, about Sasuke Uchiha... did he eventually betray the village and go to Orochimaru like you Prophecy did?" Tsunade suddenly remembered something and asked extremely seriously.
"Why do you ask that? Do you really believe that I have the power to see through the long river of time? I remember that I only mentioned to you an extremely fragmented fragment about 'Fourth Shinobi World War' and 'Otsutsuki Clan aliens are coming', right?" Ian looked at her with a half-smile.
"There is no need to hide it from me. Since I already know that this world is destined to face a Cataclysm, as a descendant of the Senju Clan, I have the right to know the entire truth." Tsunade stared at him extremely stubbornly, without flinching.
"Well, since you are so curious, I will show you how ridiculous the so-called 'destiny' is."
Ian typed the Snap extremely casually. In an instant, an extremely huge flow of spiritual information was forced into Tsunade's mind like a tsunami! That was the entire historical image of the original work <Naruto>, which was extremely magnificent in the middle and later stages, but full of endless despair and killing!
Madara Uchiha's terrifying figure that stands out from the crowd as if Demon Gods came into the world, Obito Uchiha's twisted and desperate dark revenge, Ten-Tails Resurrection The destruction of the world at E, the Infinite Tsukuyomi that dragged all mankind into an eternal illusion, and finally the Kaguya Otsutsuki that descended like a god and regarded all living beings as ants...
In just a few seconds, Tsunade seemed to have experienced the horrific catastrophe that could destroy the entire world in a fantasy world!
"Madara Uchiha is not dead...Obito...Infinite Tsukuyomi...Otsutsuki Clan... this... what kind of desperate dark future is this..." Tsunade covered her head in extreme pain, panting violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back. This massive amount of information was like a bombshell, almost completely destroying her tough mind..
"Relax and take a deep breath. The so-called 'predetermined destiny' you see now has been completely crushed and rewritten from the moment I landed on this planet."
Ian looked at Tsunade who was sweating profusely, and comforted him with great arrogance, "You don't need to worry about these ant-like conspirators at all. Because one of my core goals is to take Madara Uchiha by force. 's physical body and his pair of Rinnegan that can touch the six laws. As long as I am here, their extremely ridiculous conspiracies will not even have a chance to be staged, and they will be completely crushed under my feet!"
Listening to Ian's declaration of extreme arrogance, but full of absolute invincibility and confidence, Tsunade's racing heart miraculously calmed down. Yes, with this starry sky monster who treats the Six Paths Immortal as nothing here, what do Shinobi World's conspirators mean?
"Then what's your purpose of coming to me this time?" Tsunade gradually regained his senses and got to the point extremely keenly.
"It's very simple. I need you as a guide to take me to 'Shikkotsu Forest', one of Three Great Sacred Lands. I am extremely interested in the magic there, which is what you call 'Natural Energy' in this plane." Ian made his request straightforwardly.
In fact, in the Arcane Empire's extremely large information library, Ian has already mastered the immortal magic training information of Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave in great detail through soul searching and other means.
Only this extremely mysterious Shikkotsu Forest, due to the extremely scarce information, even scientific research madmen like Orochimaru have not been able to fully explore its full picture.
The only person in the entire Shinobi World that can be extremely vaguely inferred to be related to the magic of Shikkotsu Forest is the mysterious Sage Mode of Senju Hashirama. But this is only the speculation of later generations of scholars, and there is no solid evidence to support it.
In order to achieve a flawless state in his chakra research, Natural Energy, the last extremely crucial piece of the puzzle, must be completed by Ian and Shikkotsu Forest.
"You... you guy, don't you want to rob Slug Sage too?" Tsunade's eyes instantly became extremely vigilant, staring at Ian as if guarding against thieves.
"You are questioning the bottom line of my great personality in an extremely bad way, which makes me feel very sad." Ian covered his chest in an extremely exaggerated manner as if he was distressed.
"Don't do this! I warn you extremely seriously not to have any ideas about Shikkotsu Forest!" Tsunade glared at him fiercely.
"I assure you that I went here this time for the purely academic purpose of exchange, to ask Slug Sage about the secrets of Sage Mode." Ian raised three fingers and swore confidently, but then he changed the topic, and there was a hint of extremely dangerous domineeringness in his tone.
"Of course, if the mollusk that has lived for who knows how many years is extremely ignorant and refuses to share knowledge, then in order to pursue Truth, I can only use some small means to forcefully extract the knowledge from the depths of its soul."
"You are simply a lunatic! Don't you know that this kind of behavior is an extremely serious invasion of privacy and provocation?!" Tsunade was so angry that he was furious.
"That's why I desperately need you, a psychic who has signed Blood Contract, to be a In-Betweener. With your introduction, we can sit down and have a cup of tea in a friendly manner and discuss academic issues, and we can perfectly avoid unnecessary bloody conflicts and soul-searching violence. Isn't this a happy place for everyone?" Ian spread his hands extremely innocently.
"What's more," Ian glanced at Tsunade with great disdain, "Don't pretend to be a Holy Virgin White Lotus in front of me. We are all foxes for thousands of years, what kind of gossip are we doing? What if you suddenly get the same thing as me? With the power of the gods that can crush everything, I don't believe that you can't bear to go to other ninja villages to steal top-secret information and forbidden techniques for the sake of your Konoha Village's highest interests? Hypocrisy is the most disgusting emotion in the world."
"You are using strong words to make excuses! These are completely different things!" Tsunade was poked into a sore spot and retorted extremely weakly.
"There is essentially no difference. As Arcane Archon who rules the endless starry sky, in order to advance the civilization of the hundreds of millions of people under my command, I will of course use any means to crazily plunder any valuable knowledge and resources! The weak and the strong are the most eternal Truth in the universe!" Ian declared extremely Haki.
"Consul? Is that a position similar to the daimyo here?" Tsunade was slightly shocked by his extremely grand title.
"Daimyo? That kind of trash who just lies on the gold coins and waits to die, is he worthy of being compared with me? If you have to use your poor words to describe me, you can probably understand me as... a supreme supreme Overlord who rules the country of gold, Land of Wind, Land of Fire and other countries and Ninja villages with extremely iron blood." Ian snorted with great disdain..
"Hiss--so, you are actually the supreme dictator who has completely ruled an entire planet? This... this is indeed extremely shocking." Tsunade took a breath, and the shock in his heart could not be greater.
"Planet? You underestimate my structure. The territory I rule consists of thousands of small planets like yours, and even encompasses countless extremely large galaxies and dimensions!" Ian walked to the window, raised his head and stared deeply at the stars in the night sky Blink, "The vastness and terror of the universe are far beyond the limits of what your little head can understand."
"Okay, the grand pretense part is over. Back to our original topic, are you willing to take me to Shikkotsu Forest?" Ian brought the topic back extremely bluntly.
Tsunade took a deep breath, and it took a full half minute to digest the horrifying information Ian threw out that could subvert the universe. She nodded helplessly. "Okay, I promise you. However, due to the restrictions of the barrier and the law, I can't use reverse spiritualism to pull you over directly. We can only rely on the extremely primitive body to travel and walk across Forest of Death to get there."
When Ian heard this, he just nodded slightly noncommittally. In fact, he knew very well that with his current mastery of space arcana, as long as he wanted to, he could easily carve the spatial coordinates of 'Flying Thunder God Technique' on a kunai, and then teleport directly there through the extremely rough folding of Void.
Not only that, the clones he left in the base have already created various extremely unnatural space shuttles through the principle of combining chakra and magic power Divine Artifact.
To put it bluntly, even if he doesn't rely on magic, his extremely modified mechanical prosthetic arm also contains a micro ion jet engine extremely insidiously hidden inside. As long as it is activated with a click of a button, he can fly directly at an extremely terrifying speed that exceeds the speed of sound.
But he didn't do that. On the long journey, accompanied by such a beautiful woman with a hot body and still charming charm, enjoying the natural scenery of another world and teasing this arrogant princess in a very bad way along the way, wouldn't it be much more interesting than the boring Teleportation? He would not ruin this rare fun in an extremely stupid way.
"Give me three days. I need to arrange the treatment of the wounded and the defense arrangements on Konoha's side very properly, and then we can set off again." Tsunade put forward his own conditions.
"No problem. Just taking advantage of these three days, I also have an extremely important matter that needs to be dealt with." Ian agreed readily.
"You'd better not cause any trouble for me in the village!" Tsunade warned with great concern.
"I don't dare to promise you this." Ian chuckled extremely mischievously, and his body instantly turned into extremely tiny arcane particles and disappeared into the air.
Looking at the position where Ian disappeared, Tsunade sighed very heavily. Although Ian had previously promised extremely arrogantly not to let those conspiracies succeed, but out of the absolute sense of responsibility of a Hokage candidate, she would never be extremely stupid and completely pin the fate of the entire village in the hands of a moody alien monster.
She immediately turned around and left the office, preparing to report to the third generation Hokage in an extremely serious manner, asking Hidden Leaf ANBU to immediately activate the highest level of red alert and to keep an eye on the mysterious organization called "Akatsuki" at all costs, especially to closely guard against their conspiracy to collect Tailed Beasts!
At the same time, Ian's body sneaked into Konoha's mausoleum area extremely secretly. The goal of his trip was extremely clear - to use arcane forbidden techniques to forcibly give Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, which had been devoured by Bleach, to Resurrection or summon it out!
He was going to pull out the Yin-type half of Nine-Tails from the depths of the blond man's soul in an extremely domineering manner!
As for the No. 1 clone left in the underground laboratory, when he discovered with great sadness and annoyance that his own body was flirting with beautiful women through the extremely secretive Soul Link, and had to shoulder all the heavy hard work of collecting scarce supplies on himself, he could only turn over the big Byakugan with great helplessness.
"This is definitely the original body of that bastard, and he is taking revenge in a very petty way because I installed that extremely inferior wooden prosthetic leg for him!"
While clone No. 1 was packing up the experimental equipment extremely hard and getting ready to go out to work, he was complaining madly in his heart with great indignation. But there was no way, who made him a clone? No matter how hard and tired he was, he could only break his teeth and swallow blood.
