Chapter 53 You can Hypnotize People with Genjutsu!

Soon, the elite troops led by Uchiha Fugaku arrived at the Fire Daimyo Mansion.

Under Ryan's influence, Konoha had thoroughly distanced itself from the traditional perception of the daimyo. Witnessing the extravagant scenes in the Damning Mansion, the Uchiha clan members became even more convinced of their beliefs.

"Hmph! Just as Master Hokage said, a swine like him don't deserve to enjoy such abundant wealth! What a waste!" Uchiha Fugaku remarked, voicing his disdain.

Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement upon hearing his father's words. The sentiment was unanimous among everyone present.

Without hesitation, they swiftly executed their plan: eliminating the Daimyo's allies within the mansion and using genjutsu to manipulate the nations. The Fire Country's and other Daimyos were now mere puppets, issuing orders to redirect resources to Konoha secretly. While other daimyos cut military spending in the Earth, Wind, and Water Kingdoms. The Uchiha clan took advantage of the situation, accumulating resources in secrecy for the benefit of the Land of Fire.

These operations propelled Konoha's development at an accelerated pace. The village expanded beyond its original boundaries, doubling in size under Ryan's management. Although most areas were still under construction, the rapid progress showcased Konoha's growth.

Amid Konoha's swift development, Ryan received an urgent notification, interrupting his thoughts. Curious, he glanced at the emergency help button in his mind. As anticipated, it was a distress call from Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

"It's time for Pain's invasion," Ryan thought, pressing the response button promptly.

In the First Hokage's world, Senju Hashirama revelled in his success. Having concluded the war and acquired abundant resources through blackmail, he was in surprisingly high spirits.

The continuous development of Konoha under Tobirama's leadership further boosted Hashirama's mood.

However, his elation was short-lived when an urgent reminder suddenly sounded in his mind. Hashirama's smile vanished as he read Tsunade's plea for help on the panel.

"Pain... just as I suspected, the world of my granddaughter is in peril," Hashirama muttered. Without hesitation, he pressed the response button, driven by concern for his granddaughter's world.

Meanwhile, in the Second Hokage's world, Senju Tobirama tirelessly pursued his research on the Sharingan. Endowed with the Sharingan and possessing a perfect chakra control level, Tobirama belonged to the Senju family with their innate Sage Body.

Although not as extraordinary as his brother Hashirama, Tobirama's diligent studies led to the rapid evolution of the Sharingan. Three Tomoe Sharingan now adorned his eyes, indicating the imminent breakthrough toward Mangekyou Sharingan, akin to Uchiha Madara's ocular power.

"Fascinating power! However, the speed of this evolution seems rather slow. I must continue my research," Tobirama pondered, engrossed in his thoughts.

Just as he contemplated the next steps in his study, an urgent prompt disrupted his concentration. The distressing sound instantly drew Tobirama's attention. He read Tsunade's plea for help and realized that his granddaughter's world faced a formidable adversary.

The crisis engulfing his granddaughter's world fueled Tobirama's anger. Without hesitation, he pressed the response button, his Sharingan already activated and spinning rapidly. There was a faint hint of a connection between the Sharingan eyes.

<Yeah, anger, despair, and shattered love make Sharingan strong and Love, care and Nakama make Sage Body stronger. Just a theory.>

In the Fourth Hokage's world, Minato sighed with relief after resolving the issues involving the Sarutobi and Shimura clans. Upon returning from the chat group, he immersed himself in practising the Sage Arts. With the successful mastery of this technique, Minato began planning his next moves regarding the Third Hokage and Danzo, drawing lessons from Ryan's experiences.

Minato quickly gathered concrete evidence against Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. He contacted Jiraiya through toads, requesting his swift return to the village, and managed to locate Tsunade, who had fled.

After handing over the evidence to Jiraiya and Tsunade, a moment of silence ensued. Ultimately, Minato took charge of the situation, and the two pledged to assist him in resolving the mess.

With everything in place, Minato confronted Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, presenting irrefutable evidence. As expected, the two attempted to escape by blaming each other, but they proved no match for Minato, who had honed his skills in Senjutsu.

Their failure resulted in Minato reclaiming his position as Hokage, while the Sarutobi and Shimura clans met their demise with the assistance of Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Now in complete control of Konoha, Minato felt a sense of helplessness as Jiraiya and Tsunade quietly left the village once again. He couldn't help but lament the disappointment his Sensei and his former teammates held toward Konoha.

<Yeah, Teammates. We still don't know Orochimaru's Complete Backstory.>

Just as Minato began developing Konoha under his leadership, an urgent prompt abruptly sounded in his mind. Observing Tsunade's desperate cry for help, Minato made the inevitable decision to respond and offer his aid.

In Tsunade's world, the Fifth Hokage summoned creatures and beasts wreaked havoc upon Konoha Village under the direction of Pain. The destruction extended beyond the summoning animals, as the Six Paths of Pain mercilessly attacked the village.

Pain interrogated the Konoha shinobi, demanding to know the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails. Resolute in their loyalty to Naruto, the shinobi chose death over revealing the information. Tendo Pain, frustrated by their defiance, swiftly snapped the neck of one of the shinobi.

Unperturbed, Pain turned his attention to the Hokage building, where Tsunade stood with a resolute gaze, observing the village's destruction.

"Grandfathers, Minato, Ryan... I implore you! Please come and help!" Tsunade pleaded, her voice filled with desperation.

<Sakura Infected her.>
