Two years later.
Naruto and his classmates are about to graduate.
They began to think about their future after graduating from the Academy.
However, the vast majority of people still chose to pursue further studies, especially after hearing about the existence of Sea Capital Institute.
Having gained knowledge and understanding far beyond what was available to the Shinobi World Shinobi World at that time, they were left with only disappointment towards it.
Many people have thought about going back to improve their villages, but harsh reality tells them that it's simply impossible.
It's a very simple principle: trying to reason with a group of beasts who have no manners or civilization is completely futile.
They only know how to plunder, using all sorts of schemes to seize what they want, and they never reflect on themselves. The difference between humanity and bestiality is vast.
If you want to educate the entire Shinobi World and enlighten its Shinobi World, the first thing you need to do is to subdue them with absolute force, preferably by beating them half to death so they can't stand up. Make their first reaction upon seeing you be to kneel down and beg for mercy like a dog. Only in this way will they possibly obey.
They must be tamed like dogs, their wildness diminished, before gradually being taught and educated.
As for those who don't obey, they are naturally eliminated directly.
However, this kind of thing sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to implement.
The most important issue is strength; one must be able to face the power of the entire Shinobi World, whether it be ninjas, the remaining samurai, or even other forces in the hands of daimyo and nobles.
To change the Shinobi World, one must first have the power to overthrow Shinobi World.
The thought of all this filled these fourteen- and fifteen-year-olds with a deep sense of despair.
They received an education and gained the ability to see the true nature of the world, only to find that they could not change this cruel Shinobi World. Nothing could have made them more desperate.
And this is the time to win them over completely.
Even if they were allowed to go back, they would eventually be forced to leave.
The reason is simple: they've become withdrawn.
When humans live with a pack of wild animals, the most likely outcome is that they will either be eaten or forced to flee.
As for education... don't be ridiculous. Adult wild beasts cannot be educated. The wildness in their bones over the decades has long since turned them into beasts in human skin.
With nowhere else to go, they could only stay at the academy or follow its arrangements.
These people were among the first generation of talents and the protagonists of this golden age.
The best among them can be admitted to the Sea Capital Institute, while the others will be left on the islands surrounding the Academy. Yuzuru will provide them with resources so that they can help Orochimaru with his experiments or become excellent technicians.
In any case, as long as they can apply what they've learned, that's enough.
Soon after, the Akatsuki finally made its move against the Tailed Beast.
After more than two years of preparation, they have finally made all the necessary arrangements. The White Zetsu army is probably also ready, otherwise, given Obito's personality, he wouldn't have acted so rashly.
And the first Sunagakure.
There's no way around it; Sunagakure gives the impression of being weak and easy to bully.
And that is indeed the case.
This time, in order to capture One-Tail, not only did Sasori go out, but Deidara also went along.
As a result, Rasa still did not survive, and even his body was taken away by Sasori. As for Gaara, he was taken away by Deidara.
As a result of this incident, Sunagakure was instantly weakened like never before, so it sought help from both Konoha and Kirigakure.
Jiraiya took the situation in Sunagakure very seriously, because when he was investigating intelligence outside, he did find out some information about the Akatsuki, especially that all of its members were S-rank missing-nin.
As for Mei Terumi, who received the letter seeking help, after thinking for a moment, she called over Temari, who was studying at the Sea Capital Institute, and showed her the information from Sunagakure.
Seeing her younger brother Gaara captured and her father killed by the Akatsuki, Temari was devastated.
"Mr. President, could you please save Gaara?"
Temari looked at Mei Terumi with a pleading look in her eyes.
Do you know why the Akatsuki captured the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts?
Mei Terumi looked at this girl who had lived in the Sea Capital for more than ten years. From the initial worry and fear to the current maturity and poise, she possessed both the wild temperament of a desert princess unique to the Land of Wind and a touch of scholarly air.
"As far as I know, the Akatsuki's true objective is the Tailed Beast, and they are capable of extracting the Tailed Beast from the Jinchūriki."
"If Jinchūriki is separated from their Tailed Beast, unless it's the Uzumaki Clan, skilled in Sealing Jutsu, intervenes, the only outcome for the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki death."
Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Temari's face immediately turned pale.
"Is there really no other way?"
Mei Terumi walked over, gently embraced her, and looked at the princess of Sunagakure, silently comforting her.
Just then, Yuzuru walked in, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "When did you two become so close?"
Hearing this, Mei Terumi rolled her eyes at him. "Look at this."
She handed the letter from Sunagakure requesting aid to Yuzuru.
After Yuzuru took it and read it, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Has it already started?"
"Hmm? Begin?"
Mei Terumi looked at him suspiciously, "You knew they were going to target the Jinchūriki?"
"You forgot, that's exactly what they do in another world."
Mei Terumi paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.
"Oh right, Gaara from the other world became the Kazekage and is already an adult."
"So that's how it is!"
Temari lit up.
" Gaara isn't dead?"
"No, he was still going to die, but Chiyo saved him."
Elder Chiyo?
"Yes, she created a special Ninjutsu that allows her to revive someone who has recently died, at the cost of her own life. Gaara was revived in this way."
"That means Chiyo will die, Gaara will live."
"Right!"
Hearing this, Temari breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt sad, after all, Chiyo was also her elder.
"You can't have your cake and eat it too, Temari."
Yuzuru reached out and ruffled Temari's hair.
"Besides, even if Chiyo doesn't die, she will still go to war with us in the future. Rather than letting her die in front of you, it's better to let her go to the Pure Land to rest sooner."
"She's a ninja from the old era, and we're not on the same side. She has her own principles, and she also has a blood feud with my family. So, this is the best outcome."
Upon hearing this, Temari wiped away her tears and obediently nodded.
"Understood, Lord Yuzuru."
Seeing how sensible she was, Mei Terumi smiled with relief.
At least, Temari has been here for over a decade, and her thinking has been corrected; she no longer thinks like a ninja, which is very appealing.
"Don't worry, you'll see later that Sunagakure's loss of so much wasn't a bad thing."
After saying that, Yuzuru prepared to arrange for someone to bring Gaara back.
As for the One-Tail, it won't die immediately anyway. Let's bring Gaara back first, so that Sunagakure won't be leaderless.
Soon, Kakashi arrived at the office and asked Yuzuru, "Is there any emergency?"
"I guess so. The Akatsuki attacked Sunagakure, causing the deaths of many ninjas. Sasori killed Rasa and took his body. Gaara was also captured, and they're about to extract the One-Tail. We're going to bring Gaara's body back to Sunagakure."
Yuzuru briefly explained the situation.
"A corpse?"
Kakashi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
History always repeats itself.
"It's only a small part of the similarity; we're already creating a new future."
"That's true."
Kakashi wholeheartedly agreed with this.
After all, unlike my counterpart in another timeline, I wasn't disgusted by Obito and ended up forgiving him.
All he wants to do now is to kill that beast with his own hands.
When he attacked Minato, Kushina, and the newborn Naruto without any reason, Kakashi had only one thought: to kill that beast.
When I was little, I didn't understand and thought Obito was an optimistic and lively child. I never imagined he was such a selfish, stupid, and extremely twisted beast. Yuzuru really saw through him.
When do we leave?
With that in mind, Kakashi couldn't wait any longer.
He is now stronger than his counterpart in the other timeline.
He may have experienced a lot, but that has also obscured his talent.
And he, with his sharp wit and talent, was never wasted.
"So eager? Looks like you're itching to make a move after not having one for a while."
Yuzuru looked at Kakashi and said with a smile.
"No, I just can't wait to kill some beast."
"Oh, I see. That guy definitely deserved to die, after all, he had his eye on your sister-in-law."
Yuzuru made a joke.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi froze, and his killing intent towards Obito intensified.
The past is the past, but now, Lin is his beloved wife, and there's this disgusting beast secretly eyeing her. This is intolerable!
"By the way, how are the new tactical goggles?"
Yuzuru looked at Kakashi and asked.
"That's impressive. Although I don't know how strong the Byakugan and Sharingan will be in terms of dynamic vision and physical reaction ability, with the new tactical goggles, after entering Sage Mode, the double effect means I can react even to the super-high instantaneous movement of the Flying Thunder God's third stage."
That's really weird.
Compared to Minato, Kakashi has a greater advantage when using the Flying Thunder God Technique: his ancestral Hatake Kenjutsu!
Combined with the special single-edged sword given to him by Yuzuru, it posed an even greater threat than the Rasengan.
It's important to know that Kakashi didn't give up his swordsmanship training, and Hatake Sakumo didn't die either.
Having inherited White Fang Hatake's Hatake Kenjutsu and developed an even stronger Lightning Blade Style, combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kakashi's combat power has reached an unbelievable level.
In Minato's words, the future belongs to Kakashi. After all, he's getting old, almost forty years old, and the title of the fastest Shinobi World will soon change hands.
"Let's go then."
Looking at the sword at Kakashi's waist, Yuzuru smiled gently, placed one hand on Kakashi's shoulder, and then disappeared with him in an instant.
Temari a sigh of relief as she watched Yuzuru and Kakashi leave.
During her years in Sea Capital, she witnessed Sea Capital changes firsthand. She thought her first visit was the peak, but she never expected that Sea Capital would become even more outrageous more than a decade later.
It's not just their technological level; their Military Department strength is also despair-inducing.
Kakashi is one of the best among them, after all, he is the Konoha Blue Fang rose to fame at a young age during the Third Shinobi World War.
If it were just her strength, that would be fine, but she herself became captivated by the beauty of the Sea Capital.
Here, she truly understood what a civilized society was. Looking back, she realized how ridiculous and vulnerable the imposed ideas of ninja supremacy and ninja village supremacy she had as a child were.
"Your Excellency."
Temari suddenly looked at Mei Terumi.
"What's wrong?"
"In the future, when we unify the Shinobi World world and deal with Sunagakure, could I step in and offer some advice first?"
Temari revealed some of her personal motives.
"Well..."
Mei Terumi thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay~"
"Really?"
"Um."
"But,"
"You need to have bodyguards with you, and also, the Yamanaka Clan."
"Bodyguards?"
Hearing this, Temari gave a wry smile; she could understand Mei Terumi's worries.
In a ninja village where everyone is brainwashed, she, as the princess of Sunagakure, went to persuade them to surrender. She would be despised by them anyway. She knew her own people well; the madness of the Sand Ninja might suddenly turn against her.
"Alright, then I'll leave the arrangements to you, Mr. President."
"Don't worry, it's not just that. After we annex the Land of Wind, we'll need you to manage it. You'll be busy in the future."
"I am willing to dedicate this time and energy to the new world."
Temari answered without hesitation.
"Of course, there's also a personal motive: I want to make the Land of Wind a better place, because most of the people there are living in too much hardship."
"I know."
Mei Terumi chuckled softly, ruffling Temari's hair, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.
It's perfectly normal to give back to your hometown after achieving academic success.
Temari was the first outsider to truly come to Sea Capital, and she learned the most. She was also extremely hardworking, with the goal of changing her barren homeland where sandstorms raged everywhere.
Meanwhile, when Yuzuru and Kakashi arrived in the Land of Rain, the Tailed Beast inside Gaara had already been extracted.
After all, several days had passed since the Sunagakure sent their plea for help.
After learning the location of Gaara's Gaara from Nagato, the two immediately collected it. Just as they were about to leave, Yuzuru sensed someone watching from the shadows, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Kakashi had already opened his tactical goggles, quickly drew his sword, and turned to look at a tree behind him.
" Obito Uchiha!"
" Kakashi! It really was you!"
Obito stopped hiding and simply walked out.
"You heartless beast, how dare you show your face!"
"What did you say?!!"
Obito glared at him with eyes full of anger.
Suddenly, he noticed the ring on Kakashi's hand. He had seen that ring in the video; it was the one Rin had put on Kakashi's finger, and it was their wedding ring.
" Kakashi, is Rin really not dead? Is she alright?"
