86 Chapter 85

"F**k! This kid is merciless!" exclaimed someone in shock.

"It's painful just to look at it!"

Under the watchful gaze of everyone present, the scene on the screen unfolded. Uchiha Obito, without hesitation, stabbed his own eyes with his fingers, causing his two Mangekyo Sharingan to be forcibly removed. Even Uchiha Madara, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, was frozen in shock at that moment.

Madara's eyes were filled with a mix of astonishment and disbelief. Could Uchiha's younger generation be so audacious?

Hashirama was thinking maybe Tobirama is right Uchiha are too extreme sometimes.

[After experiencing the effects of the Senzu beans, you decided to try it for yourself and removed your own Mangekyo Sharingan.

[Immediately after consuming a Senzu bean, as expected, your extracted Mangekyo Sharingan regenerated once again!]

[Overjoyed at the extra pair of Mangekyo Sharingan in your hand, you absorbed the ocular power from this pair.]

[However, your goal of obtaining the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was still within reach. You repeated the process and acquired another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, successfully turning your ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan into an everlasting one.]

Obito's actions, known as "Operation Mad Uchiha," named by Tobirama himself, instantly stunned everyone present. Who would willingly gouge out their eyeballs just to enhance their strength? Moreover, this kid didn't stop at one but dug out his eyes twice.

Witnessing the remarkable effects of the fairy beans, Hashirama, who had just obtained the beans for the first time, couldn't help but radiate excitement. "I have the Senzu beans too. Does that mean my Sharingan can also become an Eternal Mangekyo?" he pondered.

Observing Uchiha Obito with a perplexed expression, First Hokage Uchiha Madara remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "I Approve!" Complimented by Uchiha Madara, Obito scratched his head in embarrassment.

Even he wanted to try the same method since he had lost his eyesight before. Fortunately, the effects of the Senzu beans were extraordinary so they can be used and this is a must-have item for the Uchiha clan.

[With your newly activated Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, you returned to the battlefield once again. The Konoha army was now attacking the land of Grass.]

In the fourth month, the Land of Grass was conquered. Following Kakashi's suggestion, the army began recuperating and governing the three small countries it had conquered simultaneously.

The screen slowly faded away, marking the end of that segment. The next two months focused on Obito's efforts to integrate the three small countries.

[Tsukuyomi World: Sixth Hokage Uchiha Obito's World Power Display Completed]

[Comprehensive final national strength score: 670 points]

The difference from the previous world, First Hokage Hashirama, was merely five points. It remained to be seen who would surpass whom in the next meeting.

As Obito's world display concluded, the sixth place promptly appeared on the light curtain.

[Sixth Place: Road to Ninja, Fifth Hokage Tsunade World]

As everyone's attention shifted to the cute-faced Shinobi Tsunade, the contrast between her appearance and the other irritable demeanor of Doopleganger amused everyone. It was clear that the Glasses Tsunade was more appealing to the eye.

In her angered state, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade unleashed a powerful punch, sending her alternate self flying away.

[After the Hokage meeting, you began utilizing the Marine Six Styles to enhance Konoha's power.

Additionally, under the guidance of group leader Ryan, you became aware of an impending crisis and started vigorously developing Konoha's military strength.

To strengthen Konoha's power, you also decided to attack the surrounding small countries.

In the Road to Ninja world, Tsunade made the same decision as in other worlds. This decision was influenced by witnessing Ryan's previous operations during the Hokage meeting.

However, unlike other worlds, the Ninja Road world had certain advantages. To capture the small countries swiftly, you decided to enlist the help of the Akatsuki to wage war against the neighboring nations.

With the involvement of the Akatsuki, Konoha's army smoothly conquered one small country after another. Within six months, all the surrounding small countries became territories of the Fire Country.

However, you were somewhat concerned about the high commission involved. Fortunately, the Senju family possessed considerable wealth that could be used to offset the commission amount.

Tsunade's actions in the Road to Ninja operation left everyone astonished.

Can someone else be hired to help? And there's more. For example, Hashirama and others looked at Tsunade, the ninja road, with doubt, asking, "What kind of organization is this Akatsuki?"

"Can there be an organization that can easily conquer a small country?"

Regarding this question, Ryan stepped in to explain: "The Akatsuki organization is comprised of rebels from various ninja villages after the third Shinobi war."

"Each member possesses Kage-level strength."

"This organization will lend their assistance as long as you provide them with money."

"However, First Hokage, Second Hokage, the Akatsuki organization doesn't exist in your worlds yet."

As Ryan clarified, everyone came to understand. However, Hashirama and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. If only they had the assistance of such an organization, the development of Konoha would have been much faster.

Ryan also chose to withhold certain information. For instance, he knew the true masterminds behind the Akatsuki organization—Obito and Madara—were present in the chat group. There was no need for Ryan to disclose this since it wasn't relevant in their respective worlds at the moment.

[Road to Ninja: Fifth Hokage Tsunade World Power Display Completed] [Comprehensive final national strength score: 600 points]

Since the last meeting, the score has skyrocketed by 120 points. Such rapid progress made others cast sidelong glances.

Moving on to the next world,

[Seventh Place: Fifth Hokage Tsunade World]

[Eighth Place: Parallel World, Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato World]

The two worlds secured the seventh and eighth places respectively.

In Tsunade's world, after returning from the chat group, she also utilized the Marine Six Styles as the foundation of Konoha. She mandated that all ninjas in Konoha learn the techniques, resulting in a significant overall improvement in the village's strength. Similarly, Konoha began launching wars against neighboring small countries.

Over the past six months, Konoha successfully conquered the Country of Grass, the Country of Rivers, and the Country of Birds.

Meanwhile, inside the Hidden Leaf Village, your attention turned to Shimura Danzo. Ultimately, Danzo's roots were eradicated in one fell swoop.

However, Namikaze Minato from another world seemed somewhat out of place. Although he initiated the Marine Six Styles as the foundation of Konoha and launched a war against a small country, his progress on the battlefield unexpectedly slowed after four months.

This was due to Minato's wife being six months pregnant, causing his attention to shift back to his family. Consequently, Minato's efforts to develop Konoha became absent-minded, as he devoted more time to his wife.

Observing the experiences of these two worlds, everyone's attention turned to Namikaze Minato. It was clear that Minato was a genuinely good person, someone as warm as the sun. While some might have reservations about Minato's decisions, they understood that his thoughts were focused on his wife and the imminent birth of Naruto.

Soon, the scores for the two worlds appeared on the light curtain.

[Fifth Hokage Tsunade World]

[Comprehensive final national strength score: 580 points]

[Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato World]

[Comprehensive final national strength score: 550 points]

Compared to the last meeting, both worlds showed significant improvement. However, in comparison to the top three, they still fell a bit short.

With the rankings and scores for the eight worlds now revealed, only one world remained—the world of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Upon seeing this, everyone's disdainful gazes landed on the unremarkable Sarutobi Hiruzen in the corner. Though he appeared friendly, his actions were anything but pleasing to the eye.

Not daring to breathe, Sarutobi Hiruzen shrank into the corner, fearful of drawing attention.

[Ninth Place: Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen World]

[Do you want to show national power?]

As the characters on the light curtain changed, everyone's eyes were fixated on Sarutobi Hiruzen. At that moment, they were eager to hear about his accomplishments. They hadn't witnessed them firsthand and now was the perfect opportunity to do so.

"Come on!"

"Show us!"

"Or else, we'll make you regret it!"

Faced with threats from Hashirama and the others, Sarutobi Hiruzen reluctantly agreed to display his national power. While he wouldn't die from it, he knew it would be painful. At his age, he preferred to suffer as little as possible.

"Show us," Hiruzen weakly uttered, sinking into the chair. Avoiding direct eye contact, he anxiously awaited the images of his past to appear on the light curtain.

As the images materialized, everyone fixated their gaze on the light curtain. They were eager to witness firsthand how Hiruzen had brought Konoha to its current state.
