In the original story, the youngest Hokage was Gaara of Kazekage Village.
At this point in time, Gaara have already successfully become the Kazekage.
However, since Shinsei had taken Gaara to another Shinobi World, Sunagakure had not yet chosen a new Kazekage.
There were voices calling for Baki to be the new Kazekage, but then major events occurred in the Shinobi World, and the strongest ninjas were far stronger than ordinary ninjas.
Baki's strength is simply no match for these high-level ninjas. They can't just pick a Kazekage and have him die immediately, can they?
Furthermore, since the elders of Sunagakure had been managing the Sunagakure, there wouldn't have been any trouble even without the Kazekage, so the matter was put on hold.
Issen white light, Shinsei appeared in the Hokage Building office with a handsome young man—it was Gaara had been missing for a long time.
Temari was stunned for a moment when she saw the young man who suddenly appeared before her, then rushed forward and hugged Gaara tightly. Gaara's body trembled slightly, and he reached out and gently patted his sister's back.
Temari up, her face already streaked with tears. She wiped her eyes before carefully examining Gaara she hadn't seen for over two years.
At this point, Gaara was much taller and had grown into a handsome young man; his previously severe dark circles had disappeared; and his once gloomy expression had become much more sunny.
Gaara lives in another Shinobi World, residing in Mito Uzumaki's house.
No one had much to say about this suddenly arriving ninja, and there was no hatred in their eyes.
At this time, the Jinchūriki of Konoha was Mito Uzumaki. Who would dare to hate her just because Jinchūriki Mito Uzumaki?
Putting aside her status as the wife of the First Hokage, what's more important is that she was also a pillar of strength for Konoha in the Shinobi World.
Furthermore, since Konoha, another Shinobi World village, had never been attacked by the Nine-Tails, even though Gaara's identity Jinchūriki was exposed during a later mission, he did not face any discrimination. Instead, he received a lot of envious glances.
Only the Sunagakure sent a letter questioning why the One-Tail had appeared in Konoha.
However, this letter didn't even reach Mito Uzumaki's hands; it was directly thrown into the trash can by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
With Mito Uzumaki occasionally teaching Gaara how to control the Tailed Beast, the current Gaara is completely different from the Gaara hated everything before.
Temari could hardly believe this was her younger brother. After confirming several times, she finally believed that her brother had changed. "Thank you, Lord Hokage! Thank you Shinsei!"
Tsunade to indicate that it didn't matter, while Shinsei nodded and replied, "No need to thank me. Just don't hate me for hiding your brother for so long."
Temari through her tears. "I understand you had no choice. Thank you for helping my brother."
Gaara bowed slightly to Tsunade, then nodded to Shinsei.
He wasn't ungrateful. Although he was all alone in another Shinobi World, he made many friends over time, and his mindset gradually changed.
He felt the friendship and bond between his friends.
He was quite reluctant to part with his friends on his other side this time, but now he understands the responsibilities he bears.
Compared to that Shinobi World, the Sunagakure in this world needs itself more.
After saying goodbye, Temari happily left with her younger brother.
Shinsei was also very happy. Gaara had now basically joined Konoha's "war chariot," and in the future, when he wanted to unify the Shinobi World, Gaara would not only not be an obstacle, but would also provide a lot of help.
Shikamaru peeked in from the office doorway, Shinsei asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to let her go? Temari belongs to Sunagakure after all, and she can't stay here forever. If you want her to stay here indefinitely, you might as well just marry her."
Shikamaru smiled somewhat awkwardly, touching his hair. "I came to discuss the Mental Network with you."
Shinsei found it strange. Ino had always been in charge of this kind of work, and she always volunteered to do it. Why was Shikamaru asking him this time?
He followed Shikamaru out the door and downstairs, and saw Ino's figure at the corner. She ran over with a smile, grabbed Shinsei's arm, and practically clung to him:
Why don't you come find me? Why do you have to send Shikamaru over?
Ino's expression faltered for a moment. She glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building and said:
"Oh dear! I just wanted Shikamaru to see Temari again. Who knows when Temari will be able to come back to Konoha after this trip?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes at Ino's words, but he didn't say anything in rebuttal.
Shinsei thought to himself, "Why don't we come together?" But he didn't ask the question aloud—who can truly understand a girl's thoughts?
The Mental Network made great contributions to Shinsei in the past two days. Although the Mental Network is already quite good, it is still far from the ultimate goal.
When this plan was initially designed, the intention was to use Mental Network to counter the Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, the current Mental Network naturally cannot achieve this goal, so further research is needed.
The purpose of inviting Shinsei over this time, besides helping him determine his research direction and reporting on his progress, was also to allocate some funding.
While Mental Network may seem to be purely spiritual and not require any physical entity, in reality, establishing such a network requires setting up Chakra stations at nodes on the ground. Only in this way can Mental Network have a wider coverage and accommodate more people.
The previous Mental Network primarily accommodated ninjas, but the ultimate goal is to include all ordinary people.
Shinsei began communicating with the Yamanaka Clan through the Mental Network, mainly by making requests while the Yamanaka Clan was responsible for implementing and designing the plans.
With each additional requirement, the Yamanaka Clan members who kept the records wanted to roll their Byakugan, but they dared not be impolite and could only silently endure Shinsei's wildly imaginative ideas.
Shinsei's main idea is to design the Mental Network to also allow users to voice chat, watch TV, and send videos, based on the characteristics of the previous life's network.
Even in the future, under the illumination of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Mental Network can be regarded as a second world, or, using a concept that was popular in the previous life—the metaverse.
This drove the Yamanaka Clan crazy with these outrageous demands. They had only ever used the Mental Network for long-distance communication, which was like asking engineers to invent a computer when Shinsei was holding a landline phone.
Seeing the changed expressions on the faces of the other Yamanaka Clan, especially the clan leader Inoichi Yamanaka, who seemed to want to throw his notebook at Shinsei's face.
