Main World, Konoha Village, Hokage Office.
After resolving the doubts surrounding Lin Ke, everyone gathered together.
"The above is the recent changes in the village."
Senju Tobirama sat behind the desk, with the young Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage on either side. Tsunade was still a mascot in World Number Two, so the three Hokage could naturally decide everything.
What about the First Hokage? Number One Hashirama was lazily sitting in the corner, emphasizing that it had nothing to do with him.
The Jonin and two Advisors sat in a row, looking at each other after hearing about reincarnation and different worlds.
Senju Tobirama quietly observed everyone's expressions, secretly noting those who looked strange, planning to have the Anbu investigate them thoroughly later.
He had originally planned to wait for his brother to reincarnate and grow for a while before revealing it to the higher-ups, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. His brother retained too much strength, and that Hashirama from the Different World was trustworthy.
Naturally, there was nothing to fear.
He temporarily modified the plan. This time, his main goal was to have a good talk with the higher-ups, especially the ninja clans, and his secondary goal was to study Lin Ke.
That kid is getting more and more disrespectful lately, and my brother actually watched me get bullied.
Thinking of Lin Ke, he felt a bit annoyed.
"Second Hokage-sama," Nara Shikaku took the initiative to raise his hand first, asking, "Will the reincarnation secret technique be open to everyone?"
Senju Tobirama shook his head and said, "I will reform the village's mission system later. Completing missions above a certain level will earn corresponding merits. Consuming merits can reincarnate oneself or close friends."
How could he possibly open such a technique to others?
Firstly, Lin Ke and he, who mastered conventional Impure World Reincarnation, couldn't possibly be reincarnation tools every day. Secondly, casual reincarnation would greatly reduce people's fear of death, creating many troubles for the future.
He wanted to restrict reincarnation, create high barriers, and then gradually shelve reincarnation to prevent potential problems in the future.
As for how Konoha Village would develop in the future, he hadn't thought it through yet, or rather, no one had thought it through.
Unknown and fascinating other worlds, the prospect of peace, the experiments in World Number Two, the future of the Main World, what form should Konoha Village continue to exist in…
There were too many problems, not just him, but his brother as well, neither of them were ready, just being pushed along by one sudden event after another.
While Senju Tobirama pondered, he chatted with the Jonin about the things to be done immediately, and by the way, used their questions to sort out the problems he hadn't solved.
He didn't think he was the smartest person in the world, just that he thought and did more, and listening to other people's ideas was also important.
Lin Ke sat in the back, silently recalling the knowledge about Wind Release: Net, repeatedly creating a breeze with Chakra in his hand, hovering back and forth in his palm.
He heard that the Sand Ninja Village from the Different World had already sent the Wind Release teacher and the One-Tail Jinchuriki Bunpuku assigned to him to the station. After the meeting, he would go and take a look. He wondered who the Sand Ninja Village from World Number Two would send, and whether they would be acquaintances.
The meeting in the Hokage Office lasted for half a day before it ended. He was the first to leave the room, preparing to call Sasuke and Utakata to go to World Number Two together, but as soon as he went out, he was stopped.
"Lin Ke." Nara Shikaku's expression looked a bit complicated. He didn't expect that the disciple he had taken in for the Third Hokage could influence so many things.
He had heard about the technique of summoning the dead before, which caused quite a stir, and later even summoned the Second Hokage. At the time, he didn't pay much attention because he had heard of Impure World Reincarnation, and after all, they were the dead, so they wouldn't affect the present world so much.
Now it had developed to the point where the dead could be reincarnated, which was a bit too outrageous.
Moreover, even if Senju Tobirama didn't say it, he strongly suspected that the technique of traveling through different worlds was also brought by his disciple.
At the time, he had taken disciples for the sake of the Hokage, and to avoid suspicion, he hadn't been too proactive in getting closer. Now that the other party had become a core figure in Konoha Village, bringing up anything proactively seemed like deliberately trying to cozy up.
He could only say his feelings were complicated.
"Master Shikaku," Lin Ke greeted with a smile, not thinking too much about it, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Nara Shikaku sighed almost imperceptibly and said, "Come over to my house when you have time."
"Definitely," Lin Ke responded with a smile. "I have something to do, so I'll be going." With that, he left using the Body Flicker Technique. — Two hours later, World Number Two.
"This is our Sand Ninja Village's new generation Wind Release genius—"
"Maki?" Lin Ke recognized the young man before him at a glance. Wasn't this old Maki, the money tree from the world next door for a while? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but find it a bit funny. It was too hilarious. He was hāoing Maki's wool in the Main World, and now in a Different World, the teacher he coerced was a younger version of old Maki.
The young Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, felt a little displeased, but his expression remained as always, secretly guessing: Could it be that Maki is a very famous person in their world?
But it's normal, after all, he's a genius with considerable talent.
The young Maki was a bit bewildered. He had only recently been promoted to Jonin on the battlefield in the Land of Rain and wasn't qualified to enter the village's high-level circles. The village had given him an S-rank, extremely difficult mission: to scout out information about the visitors from another world.
It wasn't until he arrived that he understood what this visitor from another world thing was all about.
The truth about the war's end hadn't spread yet. The vast majority of the middle and lower-level ninja still thought the ninja war was still going on, and they were even more unaware that two monsters had quelled the chaos in just a few days.
"I'm Lin Ke," Lin Ke introduced himself proactively. Sasuke, Utakata, and Fifth Hokage Tsunade were following beside him, giving the impression that he was the BOSS. He said generously, "I'm going to be your student from now on."
Maki nodded, looking a bit sullen.
"Come with me," Tsunade beckoned. There were many things for her, the Hokage, to handle. The World Number Two Sand Ninja Village was the first Naruto Village to surrender, so they needed to have a good talk about the matters to be dealt with next, how much information to disclose, how many benefits to give the other party, and so on.
A whole bunch of troublesome things.
And that brat Tobirama stubbornly said he needed to think about the future or something, dumping all the messy work on her.
I knew I shouldn't have become the Hokage. Tsunade frowned, leading World Number Two Rasa towards the Hokage Building, which had only recently been completed.
What exactly did I do to make them unhappy?
World Number Two Rasa, seeing the other party's displeased expression, felt a little uneasy. He had only been Kazekage for a short time, and deciding the village's future as a Kage was too heavy a burden.
Lin Ke looked at Maki with a smile and said, "Well, please take care of me from now on."
