No, where does this portal come from?

I can't do this Hokage for a single day!

Danzo! Danzo! Let's discuss something!

"Naruto, do you know what you are talking about? The Ten-Tails?" At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen even forgot to smoke and just looked at Naruto quietly.

Seeing this, Naruto began to explain the Ten-Tails to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“The Ten-Tails is a creature unique to the Ōtsutsuki clan.

It is also the origin of chakra and the strongest and most ferocious tailed beast in the world.

His true form is a sacred tree with ten tails and a single eye.

There are nine known existing tailed beasts, all of which were created by splitting its chakra."

Naruto was explaining science seriously, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was terrified...

The Ten-Tails...the Sacred Tree...the Ōtsutsuki Clan...

The nine existing tailed beasts were all split from the other's chakra.

To Sarutobi Hiruzen, these words were like his balls were exploding before his eyes.

Although it's a little unclear why, it's really explosive.

Afterwards, Naruto explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen the Otsutsuki clan, the sacred tree, the Six Paths Sage, and other terms that would only appear later.

The more thorough Naruto's explanation became, the faster Sarutobi Hiruzen's heartbeat became.

It wasn't until Naruto finished speaking that Sarutobi Hiruzen plopped back down in his chair.

Finished~~

This world is over~~

These two sentences kept echoing in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Naruto.

"Are you the only one back this time?"

"No, there's also Sasuke," Naruto answered truthfully.

"So, you came back this time because you were in a desperate situation in the future and had no choice but to return to the past... In other words, to prevent the Ten-Tails from coming now?"

After hearing what Naruto said, Sarutobi Hiruzen automatically imagined the conspiracy between Uchiha Madara and the Otsutsuki clan.

And the experience of Naruto joining forces with Sasuke and the Ninja World Alliance, fighting with all their might but ultimately being defeated, and having no other choice but to fight to the bitter end, using space-time ninjutsu to send the two of them to the past where nothing had happened yet.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made up an excuse that he hadn't thought of, Naruto didn't bother to make any more.

"Yes, that's it."

"Because the current me can't win that battle, I want my former self to break the seal that's hindering my growth in advance, so that I can quickly grow to the point where I can prevent those things from happening."

"So that's how it is... In order to prevent what will happen in the future, you went back to the past." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hint of understanding.

That makes sense now...

However, how they came back remains a mystery.

"But I still don't understand how you came back." Sarutobi Hiruzen was still confused.

"Emm... Do you know any other gods?"

"Kotoamatsukami... I've heard Danzo talk about the power of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

His ability seemed to be to directly invade the opponent's brain and modify their will without being detected." Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke as he recalled.

"What a terrifying technique..."

If possible, I must take it into my own hands or destroy it completely.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say the second half.

After all, as the Hokage, what he said was very damaging to the Hokage's reputation.

"But what does your return have to do with the other gods?"

"It's okay?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

"Oh! What I mean is that Uchiha Sasuke has awakened a dojutsu similar to Kotoamatsukami's strange ability, which allows him to travel through time and space, but it can only be activated once in his lifetime."

Naruto spoke nonsense with a serious look on his face.

Sharingan~

It's not surprising to awaken any new abilities.

After his explanation, a look of understanding appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

It turned out to be like this...

Did he use the Uchiha clan's unique eye technique?

I have to say, the Uchiha family is really scary!

First there was Kotoamatsukami who could completely change the will of others, and now there is a strange eye technique that can travel through time and space.

It seems that what the teacher said about paying more attention to the Uchiha clan is really necessary.

Chapter 219: Stand-in? The appearance of the arrow!

Recalling the second generation who often mentioned that he was "concerned" about the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

As expected of the second generation, he is so far-sighted!

Thinking back to the little tricks that Uchiha had been doing under his nose recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a headache.

And after listening to what Naruto said, he knew that the Uchiha clan was the turning point of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

How should I deal with such a turning point so as not to make mistakes that will affect my future?

“This is really troublesome…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured to himself.

As the Hokage, he did not have any absolute power. Instead, he was overwhelmed by daily official duties and the interest disputes and checks and balances between various families.

For example, the Hyuga family’s branch and main family, the excited Uchiha family, the Ino, Shika, and Chou families... and so on.

These things made him feel exhausted, especially in the years after Minato Namikaze's death, he was even more unwilling to deal with these things.

The excessive delegation of power gave Root a lot of power, and even Danzo could jump around in front of him after gaining these powers.

Poor Danzo, he never knew until his death that his so-called power was actually given to him deliberately by Sarutobi Hiruzen so that he could attract the attention of several major families.

"By the way, Naruto." Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Didn't you say that the Uchiha family's eye technique can travel through time and space?"

"Yes, but it can only be used once."

"I know this question, but I still don't understand why you didn't choose an earlier time point?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was puzzled.

He is now similar to Black in the Avengers.

Since you want to reverse time and kill Thanos, why don't you travel to an earlier time period and then...

What about strangling Thanos as a child?

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's case, it would be, "Since you want to travel through time, why don't you travel back to Uchiha Madara's childhood and kill him with a Rasengan?" After all, you can arm wrestle Madara in his prime, so killing Madara when he was young shouldn't be difficult, right?

Naruto felt ashamed when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.

Uh……

He had never thought about this question.

It was a bit difficult for him to make up a lie on the spur of the moment, but in order to make the whole story more complete, Naruto still fooled Sarutobi Hiruzen with a lame excuse.

"Third generation grandfather, you don't know that the power of the Uchiha family's Sharingan comes from the power of the eyes. Uchiha Sasuke's eye power has reached its limit at this point in time, so he cannot travel to a more ancient time."

"That's the extent of it now at most." Naruto said seriously.

The third generation was also stunned by the fright.

It was the first time he heard the term pupil power.

So those strange abilities all come from this...

No wonder some Uchiha clan members have strong and some have weak Sharingan.

"So that's how it is. This makes sense." The third generation old fox nodded.

Only now did he completely believe what Naruto said.

Fortunately, many of Naruto's words were half true and half false, otherwise the old fox Third Hokage would definitely have seen through some flaws.

"By the way, Naruto. Now that you are back, what are your thoughts on the Fourth Ninja World War?" The Third Hokage looked at Naruto.

He knew very well that only those who had experienced that incident had the right to speak.

"Any ideas... Hmm..." Naruto fell into deep thought.

He really didn't have any ideas.

After all, let alone Madara, even if it was Six Paths Madara... No! Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly appeared now, they would not be at all inferior.

There are three of me and three Sasukes. Even if Kaguya comes in person, she can't cause any trouble.

The reason why Madarabuki was portrayed as invincible was just to make Sarutobi Hiruzen feel like he was facing a powerful enemy.

Naruto couldn't say what he was thinking directly, so he made a suggestion: "I suggest that Grandpa Sandaime not interfere too much in the future."

"why?"

"You clearly came back to interfere with what happens in the future, so why are you saying you won't interfere with the future?" The third generation was puzzled.

"You don't know this." Naruto said, telling the third generation a theory he had heard from Lin Yan.

——The butterfly effect.

"Grandpa Sandaime, have you ever heard of a saying... It's called the butterfly effect."

"The Butterfly Effect?"

"That's right." Naruto nodded. "It basically means that within a certain framework, when the initial conditions change slightly, it will cause deviations in the development of different events, leading to a huge chain reaction that changes the entire framework."

"It's like a butterfly quietly flapping its wings in the Tsuchikage Village. The breeze it creates, through various subtle interventions, could eventually form a giant tornado that triggers Konoha Village."

"..." After hearing this, the third generation was still confused: "I still don't understand."

"Huh... Actually, if I put it another way, you'll understand, Third Generation Grandfather."

"What do you think is our most obvious advantage when we go back to the past?" Naruto asked again.

The most obvious advantage?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned when he heard this question...

Is it force?

No...the use of force is not important at this time.

The most obvious advantage of going back to the past is not force, but the initiative!

Able to seize all opportunities and future intelligence.

"It's the initiative and intelligence, right?"

"That's right! It's precisely to seize the initiative!"

"But if we madly change the past, the future will also be drastically changed, and then our advantages and intelligence will be gone."

"That's why I think if you can avoid interfering with the future, then don't interfere with it."

"Those of us who know the future will try to change it to the minimum extent possible and try to maintain the advantages we have established for as long as possible."

In fact, they don't want the third generation to put pressure on them with the task of changing the future, and their idea of ​​changing the tragedy of this world to fail.

After listening to what Naruto said, the Third Generation pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement with Naruto.

Indeed, excessive intervention in the future will only create more uncertainties.

I believe that the two people who came back from the future must have already had plans and ideas on how to change the future.
