"You mean you traveled to the future?"
After listening to Didaze's explanation, Ōnoki narrowed his eyes.
It can't be considered a future world; at most, it's a parallel world.
Didaze smiled and said.
"Let's not talk about the future. Aren't you going to marry Nanako this year?"
Ōnoki put the future world out of his mind.
While the future world is indeed important, nothing is more important than Nanako and Didaze's wedding!
"I'll go see Nanako first when I get back."
Didaze said.
"You rascal, marriage is an inevitable path for every man. You're twenty-three, not young anymore, you should have gotten married a long time ago!"
Ōnoki patted Didaze on the shoulder and said.
"Um..."
Didaze fell silent.
"Alright, go back and see Nanako. I'll start preparing for your wedding in a few days."
Ōnoki waved his hand.
"Alright, then you, old man, will be the officiant at the wedding!"
Didaze said to Ōnoki with a smile.
"Good!"
Ōnoki nodded.
"By the way, old man, what's the situation in the Shinobi World lately?"
Didaze asked, somewhat curiously.
"A second Wood Release has appeared in the Shinobi World..."
Ōnoki's expression was somewhat strange.
"The second one?"
Didaze was a little confused.
" Hashirama Senju's grandson, Senju Nawaki, awakened Wood Release. Relying on the power of Wood Release, the other three villages are on the verge of defeat."
"Ōnoki said."
"Oh? Judging from your words, his Wood Release is very strong?"
Didaze already has an idea.
If Nawaki's Wood Release is very strong, then he is undoubtedly the best candidate to absorb Kekkei Genkai!
After a few more years of training, I will have the power to truly fight against Madara Uchiha in the future Shinobi World War.
Furthermore, learning Senjutsu must also be put on the agenda.
Although the Preta Path can also absorb Senjutsu, it cannot convert Senjutsu into its own Chakra; instead, it can only absorb them and then seal them away.
The second method consumes more of the opponent's Chakra, so Senjutsu is still worth learning.
"Very strong. Nanako, but not by much. This is the intelligence report given by the person in charge after reviewing her Wood Release."
"Ōnoki said in a deep voice."
"Is that so?"
Didaze had made up his mind; Nawaki would be the target of his Kekkei Genkai absorption.
"And then Minato Namikaze. That guy developed a new type of Ninjutsu. Although it still can't break through the defenses of that barbarian Third Raikage, it already possesses immense destructive power."
Ōnoki sighed again.
What did he research and develop?
Didaze asked, somewhat puzzled.
"They enlarged the Rasengan to a gigantic size, making it look like a blue Tailed Beast Bomb."
"Ōnoki said."
" Big Ball Rasengan?"
Didaze muttered to himself.
Actually, it wasn't surprising that Minato Namikaze developed the Big Ball Rasengan; after all, no one can stand having their hands scraped Tenten.
Developing the Big Ball Rasengan will at least cause some damage to that guy, Yotsuki A, and at least not just scratch him like before.
Although it was still like scratching a thorn in the side for the Third Raikage, it was much better than before.
"So, Konoha has the upper hand in the current battle?"
Didaze asked.
"Yes, but Konoha Ninja, so even though they have an advantage in high-level combatants, they still can't advance. In fact, there have been many instances where the high-level combatants win while the low-level combatants lose."
Ōnoki nodded and said.
"It seems the damage we inflicted on Konoha last time was exceptionally high."
Didaze said to Ōnoki with a smile.
"That's for sure. Sunagakure should have given up long ago, but Konoha didn't send a single reinforcement, and Sunagakure managed to hold on. I heard that Konoha's ninjas are down to less than five hundred left."
"I can't believe it Ōnoki said with a sigh.
In his eyes, Uchiha Fugaku was truly a hero.
For the sake of Konoha, they fought a bloody three-year war.
Despite their differing stances, he genuinely admired this kind of person.
"Hehe..."
Didaze chuckled twice.
Although he didn't know what drove Uchiha Fugaku to fight to the death, he was certain it wasn't because of Konoha.
Ōnoki just thought too highly of Konoha.
"Alright, stop wasting your time on this old man, go find Nanako!"
Ōnoki said to Didaze.
"Okay!"
Didaze vanished from the Tsuchikage's office in a flash.
Just then, Kōdo arrived at the Tsuchikage's office with a stack of documents.
" Kōdo, could you please do me a favor..."
Ōnoki shouted at Kōdo, giving Kōdo goosebumps all over.
" Lord Tsuchikage, you can just say what you want to say. You're really frightening me..."
"I am afraid," Kōdo said to Ōnoki.
"Fix the glass for me, and leave a dog hole."
Ōnoki handed 100,000 ryo to Kōdo.
"Dog? Dog hole?"
Kōdo was somewhat bewildered as he took the money.
Leaving a dog hole in glass—is that something a human could come up with?
"Because someone really loves going through windows, I think leaving a dog hole is the most suitable solution for that kind of person."
After a long sigh, Ōnoki said...
"Yes..."
Kōdo didn't dare say anything more, because he saw that Ōnoki's expression wasn't good.
Nanako's House
Knock knock knock!
Didaze knocked directly on Nanako's door.
After talking with Ōnoki, it was almost evening.
Nanako had already returned from the Sealing Squad.
"Who is it, Reigyō?"
Nanako's voice came through.
Unlike before, Nanako's voice no longer has a childish quality.
"It's me!"
Didaze spoke from the doorway.
"Brother Didaze!"
Nanako immediately rolled out of bed and opened the door with a look of surprise.
" Nanako."
Didaze ruffled Nanako's hair.
Now, when Didaze touches Nanako's head, he doesn't need to deliberately lower his hand anymore; Nanako has grown taller.
"Brother Didaze, I'm eighteen already, but you still treat me like a child..."
Nanako pouted, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
" Nanako, now that you're an adult, I want to ask you one last question..."
"I like you!"
Before Didaze could finish speaking, Nanako had already kissed him.
Didaze was also taken aback by Nanako's offensive.
Why was he the one who was forcibly kissed?
"Brother Didaze, I fell in love with you the moment you rescued me... so..."
Nanako didn't finish her sentence.
Even the boldest girl would find it hard to say such a thing.
" Nanako."
Didaze lifted the other person's head, looking at their smooth red hair.
I like you too.
Didaze looked directly into Nanako's eyes.
"Brother Didaze, please... come in first, I'll cook for you!"
Nanako became flustered under Didaze's gaze, and her words became somewhat stammering.
Didaze smiled and then stepped into the house.
