68 Chapter 68 Power of Youth

As Tsunade carefully contemplated the intricate practice method of the Marine Six Styles, a glimmer of joy appeared in her eyes. The recent events had turned out to be true after all – there really was a Hokage chat group. Not only that, but Tsunade also discovered a cross-world help function button in her mind. By simply pressing it, Hokages from other worlds would come to her aid.

"That's fantastic!" Tsunade exclaimed with excitement.

"What's so great about it!?" came Shizune's disapproving voice.

"Don't you start slacking off again!!"

Tsunade's momentary happiness was interrupted by Shizune's disapproving gaze. Hastily, she lowered her head and continued to work on the documents in front of her. However, deep inside, she was already planning ways to strengthen Konoha while remaining vigilant for any potential crises.

In this world, everything is reversed. So domineering Tsunade and Ino are soft on the other hand Hinata is damn savage. She literally told Sakura that if she flirted with Naruto. She will kill her while activating Byakugan. Her Byakugan was scarier than Kaguya's ever was.

In the main world, Ryan, the group leader, slowly opened his eyes at that moment.

"The Hokage meeting is over. Items obtained: Tenseigan, Pika Pika no mi, Marine Six Styles," Ryan thought to himself. "The next Hokage meeting will be held in six months."

"Before the Next Hokage meeting, the group owner can randomly invite two Random Konoha Hokages to join the group chat," he read further.

Ryan's attention was particularly drawn to the timing of the next meeting. Seeing that it remained unchanged, he felt a sense of relief. With the group growing in size, he had worried that the meetings would become longer and more unfrequent. However, since that was not the case this time, it was likely that they would continue to be held every six months. It became imperative for Ryan to strengthen Konoha as quickly as possible.

"Claim Rewards!" Ryan commanded mentally.

As he did so, the chat group's special colorful light curtain reappeared. Soon, a golden fruit materialized before him – the Light light fruit. Simultaneously, his right eye underwent a transformation, changing from the Rinnegan to the Tenseigan, emitting a deep and faint light.

"The power of destruction and creation," Ryan murmured, feeling the surge of the Tenseigan's power. Unable to resist its allure, he slowly extended his hand, causing Truth-Seeking Balls to manifest in front of him, encircling his wrist like rosary beads.

After getting a glimpse of the Tenseigan's abilities, Ryan dissipated the Truth-Seeking Balls. However, due to the limited space in his office, he couldn't fully explore its other techniques at the moment. He decided to try them out later. For now, his focus shifted to the devil fruit in front of him.

Never did he expect to obtain a Logia Devil Fruit without any side effects. Ryan eagerly picked up the Sparkling fruit and took a bite. It turned out to be surprisingly delicious, with a taste reminiscent of pineapple.

So the reason for the bad taste is the curse. Who made Devil fruits why are they weak to sea? When the Multiverse travel function opens it will be so much fun to explore.

With the Sparkling fruit consumed, Ryan turned his attention to the Marine Six Styles, the least impactful yet most vital of the three rewards. It's a training method that would greatly enhance Konoha's strength.

"It's time to head to the academy," Ryan said to himself.

With that in mind, he set off toward the ninja school. Upon arriving, he overheard a teacher asking the students, "Do you know who the strongest Hokage in Konoha Village was?"

"I KNOW, I KNOW! It's the Fourth Hokage!" one of the students eagerly responded.

"That's correct," the teacher affirmed. "Among the previous Hokages, the Fourth Hokage was the strongest in terms of power and developing Konoha Village."

Before Ryan entered the school, he noticed the teacher using the Hokage Rock as a visual aid, explaining his own accomplishments. Blushing, Ryan realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen's flamboyant Style was used to make him look great. As the teacher continued, the students regarded Ryan as their idol, expressing their aspirations to become Hokage.

Uncomfortable with the attention, Ryan decided not to linger any longer. Upon returning to his office, he promptly wrote down the cultivation method for the Marine Six Styles.

"Minato!" Ryan called out. "Notify Might Duy to come to my office."

"Understood," Minato replied, leaving the office using the Flying Thunder God technique.

Minato vaguely remembered Might Duy from their encounter before. Might Guy is Minato's disciple Kakashi's deadly rival, was Duy's son. Minato found Duy and his son exercising on the street.

"Guy! Practice is over for today. How are you feeling?" Duy asked.

With a wide grin, Guy vigorously shook his arms, flexing his muscles. "No problem! I can even run ten laps around Konoha!"

Satisfied with Guy's response, Minato patted his head, relieved.

To outsiders, the two men wearing tight training clothes may have seemed out of place, but their determination remained unwavering.

"Alright! Continue running ten laps around Konoha!" Might Duy exclaimed.

"This is youth!" Minato proclaimed.

Just as the two were about to start running, Minato appeared in front of them using the Flying Thunder God technique.

"Duy, the Master Hokage wants to meet you," Minato greeted.

"What? Minato-sama, did Hokage-sama say something?" Might Duy asked, surprised by Minato's sudden appearance.

Might Dai felt honored that the Hokage's right-hand man sought him out personally. Overwhelmed with excitement, he hugged Guy tightly.

"Guy! Did you hear that? The Master Hokage has a mission for me!"

"This is youth!" they declared, embracing each other and laughing.

Seeing the perplexed expression on Minato's face, they soon composed themselves. Might Duy wipe away his tears and faced Minato with a serious expression.

"Master Hokage, is there a task you want me to undertake? Please tell me. Even if it costs me my life, I will fulfill it!"

Ryan smiled and waved at Might Dai, easing his tension. "Duy, there's no need to be so formal. I do have a task for you today, but there's no need to risk your life. Don't worry, Guy is waiting for you at home."

Relieved, Might Day thanked Ryan. Although curious about the nature of the task, he trusted his leader's judgment. With many powerful ninjas in Konoha, it wasn't often that someone like him, a Ten Thousand Years Genin, would be given such a responsibility.

As Duy looked on, Ryan handed him the training method for the Marine Six Styles.

"Take a look at this first."
