"No need, I can reply to you now. I can return to my original world, but I'll need some time to recharge."
Although Didaze knew that the seventy-year-old Ōnoki's words were absolutely sincere, he still refused.
After all, this world is not his world.
"The main reason I've come to see you is that I have no place to stay in this new world, so I've come to you primarily to find a place to settle down."
Didaze continued speaking to Ōnoki.
"Well..."
Ōnoki sighed.
Honestly, he's really envious of his past self in that world.
With such a perfect successor, the ninja village has become the number one ninja village, much better than its current situation.
Since the defeat of the Third Raikage, Iwagakure has become increasingly desolate.
His former bodyguard, Kōdo, also died in that battle at the One-Finger Nukite of the Third Raikage.
Although they successfully killed the Third Raikage, Iwagakure never recovered.
"In that case, let Akatsuchi take you to choose a house."
Ōnoki waved his hand, seemingly not in a good mood.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"
The chubby Akatsuchi bowed, then left the Tsuchikage's office with Didaze.
" Akatsuchi, can I ask you something?"
Didaze asked the chubby Akatsuchi.
"Oh? You asked."
Akatsuchi chuckled sheepishly, then turned his head toward Didaze.
What major events have happened here recently?
Didaze intends to assess the current stage of development by observing major events.
"This is a big deal..."
Akatsuchi scratched his head.
" The Kazekage was captured by an Akatsuki, but was later brought back. Also, Sasori of the Red Sands S-rank missing-nin from Sunagakure, died."
Akatsuchi turned to Didaze and spoke.
Is that so?
Didaze roughly knew what era it was.
It's roughly Konoha Year 66 now. Sasori just died, which means the Akatsuki have only captured the One-Tail for the time being.
After all, capturing the Tailed Beast requires doing it one by one.
To be honest, Didaze has some ideas about the Ten-Tails in this world.
If I could seal the Ten-Tails into my body, then I wouldn't have to fear anyone back in my original world.
Even Madara Uchiha could only flee in defeat when faced with himself, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
" Saiken, can you, from different worlds, become one with me?"
At this moment, Didaze suddenly thought of something, came to the mental space, and asked the Six-Tails a question.
"What do you want?"
The Six-Tails instantly understood what Didaze was planning.
"That's right!"
Didaze nodded.
"We can merge, but if you want me to take the lead, you must first kill or nearly kill the version of me in this world."
The Six-Tails spoke to Didaze.
As Katsuyu, the Six-Tails is capable of fusing.
Especially when there are two identical versions of yourself.
However, if they merge directly, the resulting consciousness might not be the Six-Tails itself.
It's uncertain whether they will continue to maintain a harmonious relationship with Didaze.
That's why Six-Tails demanded that Didaze defeat the Six-Tails of this world before they could merge.
In this way, the Six-Tails can ensure that its consciousness remains its own after fusion.
"Good!"
Didaze nodded.
However, there is one slightly troublesome thing: it is Pain, the Six Paths of Pain, who captured the Six-Tails.
Six Paths of Pain Super Kage might be an exaggeration; the Impure World Reincarnation Nagato, with Six Paths unified, is more likely to qualify.
However, if we say that Six Paths of Pain is the strongest person below the Super Kage, I doubt anyone would disagree.
After all, it's not easy for Six Paths of Pain to fight against Kage Level opponent like the Third Raikage, who is purely physical. He could easily be defeated one by one. Although he should be able to seal the Third Raikage in the end with Chibaku Tensei, it would still be difficult to deal with him without fighting desperately.
However, if Six Paths of Pain were to deal with Kage Level opponent using Ninjutsu, then relying on the Preta Path would be a devastating blow, even if it were the Dust Release.
This is it.
Akatsuchi's words brought Didaze back to reality.
"What a coincidence!"
Didaze looked at the house in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.
Isn't this the house he lived in in his original world?
"This house was where Deidara lived when he was a child, but he hasn't lived there since he was driven out of the village."
Akatsuchi seemed to reminisce as he spoke.
When Deidara was a child, he often carried out terrorist attacks in the village, blowing up houses and such.
However, there were no casualties; Deidara wasn't as rampant when he was younger.
After all, if there were any casualties, even if Ōnoki liked Deidara a lot, he probably wouldn't be so forgiving.
After all, he was the village's leader, and everything he did had to be done with the village as the top priority.
Sending Deidara outside the village to reflect on his actions was also to help him mature quickly and stop causing trouble in the village.
However, Ōnoki truly didn't expect that the Akatsuki would exploit this loophole.
If he had known that Deidara would be kidnapped outside the village, Ōnoki would never have left Deidara outside the village.
After all, Deidara was just playful as a child and didn't realize the consequences of his actions. To put it bluntly, his values weren't fully formed yet. However, because he knew not to hurt others, he wasn't too bad, and with proper guidance, he could be corrected.
However, after joining the Akatsuki, he was influenced by what he saw and heard and completely transformed into a major villain.
"Um..."
Didaze nodded.
Didaze then tidied up the house and moved in.
This house has been uninhabited for many years, but it's not dirty inside; it looks like someone cleans it every now and then.
The news of Didaze's move to Iwagakure was not widely spread; only four people knew about it.
It's just that they added Kitsuchi and Han people to the mix.
As for Roshi, he was outside the village and not in the village at all. Even Ōnoki didn't know where Roshi was.
It can only be roughly confirmed that Roshi is still in the Land of Earth.

Hokage's Office
"People from the past have come to this world?"
Tsunade frowned.
Things are getting more and more of a headache for her.
First it was the Akatsuki, and now it's people from the past coming to the present.
Each and every one of these things gave Tsunade a headache.
"If it were just people from the past, that would be fine, but the people who came this time are clearly not from our past."
Yamato gave a wry smile.
"When we left, this person had already devoured the Dragon Vein, but when we returned, the Dragon Vein was there again."
Yamato a serious expression.
Do you know what this means?
Yamato looked at Tsunade and said.
"This means... that's not the past we experienced!"
Tsunade understood Yamato's meaning.
Why did this happen...?
Tsunade fell into deep thought.
" Tsunade, don't worry, the blond guy doesn't seem like a bad person!"
Naruto, on the other hand, was quite carefree and no longer acted like he had initially considered Didaze an enemy.
"Who knows, his arrival might even help us deal with the Akatsuki!"
Naruto continued.
