The Amegakure has already issued a statement announcing an alliance with the Konoha; this is merely a face-saving gesture.
Everyone knows what the alliances signed after being defeated are really about.
However, to hold an alliance ceremony in the other ninja village after already announcing the alliance is clearly a blatant insult.
Although Shinsei defeated Hanzo of the Salamander, he still held him in some admiration. Those who fought with all their might for their country and villagers always earned Shinsei's respect.
"Who came up with such a stupid idea?" Shinsei asked, his face filled with undisguised sarcasm.
His words silenced Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru; they couldn't very well speak ill of their teacher.
As expected, after learning of Hiruzen Sarutobi's request, Hanzo of the Salamander ascertained Shinsei's attitude and unsurprisingly refused.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is known as the strongest Hokage of all time, so defeating a mere Hanzo of the Salamander of cake.
If he can defeat Hanzō fairly and squarely, given Hanzō's later personality traits, he might actually agree to dance on the table.
The preparations for the return trip were rather complicated, and we wouldn't actually depart until two days later.
Shinsei asked Jiraiya and Hanzō to find the boy with the Rinnegan, but the matter was never resolved.
However, Shinsei had anticipated this and didn't take it to heart.
The Rinnegan is powerful, but Shinsei can't use it right now, or rather, he can't use it because of his limited Chakra reserves.
Based on the original work, the Rinnegan consumes an enormous amount of Chakra. With only about 50 chakra, he would probably be exhausted after using a few powerful Chakra.
Of course, if one were to actually obtain the Rinnegan and lack sufficient Chakra, one might consider sealing a Tailed Beast within their body.
Shinsei pushed open the door and saw Tsunade, Hinata, and Konan playing cards in the living room, with Tsunade's face covered in sticky notes.
Hearing the door open, the group turned around, Tsunade took the opportunity to throw the cards in her hand into the deck and scatter them.
"I'm not playing anymore, it's no fun, and I'm not gambling!" Tsunade angrily ripped the note off her face.
The younger version of Tsunade is indeed different from the Hokage Tsunade. If she were his teacher in his world, there would be no way he would voluntarily get off the card table.
Tsunade suddenly looked at Shinsei with a puzzled expression, walked closer, and examined his eyes.
What's wrong with your eyes?
Shinsei no longer wore black goggles; his eyes had turned black like an ordinary person's, and the Tomoe) were gone.
The Sharingan, which was originally red, turned black might not seem strange to ordinary people, but it went against Tsunade's medical knowledge.
Faced with Tsunade's doubts, Shinsei channeled Chakra into his eyes, instantly turning his black eyes purplish-red, with three black Tomoe slowly rotating within them.
"Hahaha, this is just a special result of my cultivation." Shinsei laughed with some pride, finally reaping the rewards of his many days of meditation.
His Sharingan has been completely refined by the Qi within his body. Not only can he freely open and close it, but it has also changed from red to purplish-red, and his perception has also improved slightly.
Tsunade is not someone who likes to pry into other people's secrets. One of her two apprentices Byakugan that is clearly different from that of ordinary Hyūga clan members, and the other, despite having the Senju bloodline, can freely use the Sharingan.
The disciple's progress is too fast, and as her teacher, she doesn't feel much sense of accomplishment because it has little to do with her teaching. I believe Tsunade from another world felt the same way.
It seems I need to train my cheap disciple's Visualization Method.
Finally, it's time to leave this Land of Rain's always gloomy.
Although Shinsei, who is physically strong, doesn't get sick from it, the humid air always makes him feel like his clothes are going to get moldy.
Feeling a bit bored on the slowly moving carriage, Shinsei asked Tsunade for advice on Sealing Jutsu.
The natural Dragon Vein energy within the body had already become quite active, like a snake that had just emerged from hibernation. Although it was still somewhat dazed, it was always yearning for energy.
Konan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside the window.
This is the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, with a massive mountain range lying between the two countries.
Konan tugged at Yahiko's sleeve, pointed out the window, and whispered, "Those mountains over there are so high!"
Shinsei also looked out the window. He had studied geography and knew that this long mountain range blocked the abundant moisture of the Land of Rain, causing the Land of Wind to be dry all year round, while the Land of Rain was rainy year after year.
Looking at the majestic mountain range, Shinsei suddenly said, "If we moved this mountain, wouldn't the Land of Wind be less arid? Let's flatten it with Ninjutsu!"
Having received education in my past life, seeing this situation always inspires me with a desire to change the world.
Tsunade her head and said, "Even my grandfather couldn't do that."
Shinsei doesn't think so. When Hashirama Senju died, Tsunade was still young and had never seen the power of that terrifying Buddha. Even the enormous Nine-Tails was like a weak little chick in his hands.
However, this also broadened Shinsei's horizons. Ordinary people don't have that much Chakra, not even he himself, but there are such magical things as Tailed Beast in this world.
If we catch a few and release them here, letting them bombard us with Tailed Beast Bomb continuously, we'll eventually flatten this massive mountain range.
The long journey home eventually comes to an end. After several days of marching, the main force of Konoha finally met up with the forces of the Land of Wind outside Konoha.
Upon meeting, the two forces erupted in unprecedented enthusiasm, with cheers rising in waves as they celebrated their victory.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya stepped forward and stood next to the two middle-aged men.
One of them had white hair and carried a short sword on his back; the other wore a Hokage's hat, and they were none other than Hatake Sakumo and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Jiraiya on the shoulder with a smile, then nodded to Orochimaru.
Where's Tsunade? And what about Shinsei?
Jiraiya sighed, scratching the back of his head with a forced smile.
" Shinsei said he's not really from this world, so he won't participate in the welcoming ceremony. He should go find Lady Mito now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile froze on his face, but only for a moment before returning to its cheerful state.
"They really are just children, but you are also great contributors to the victory of the war. Let's all receive the cheers of the people."
The welcoming crowd stretched from the streets of Konoha all the way to the gate, their deafening cheers filled with heartfelt joy.
However, all of this was no longer relevant to Shinsei. Led by Tsunade, he arrived at the outside of an old-fashioned building.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, a young red-haired woman stood in the center of the courtyard with a beaming smile.
She wore two red buns with sealing talismans hanging down on either side. Her deep eyes were like calm lake water as she stretched out her slender fingers and beckoned to Shinsei.
Shinsei stepped forward and respectfully bowed to her.
" Lady Mito!"
Mito Uzumaki felt no sense of unfamiliarity. She helped Shinsei up, her brows furrowing slightly before relaxing into a gentle smile.
" The Nine-Tails says you have ill intentions towards it!"
