Chapter 5

Senju Compound

A month later, nothing much has happened.

Rimuru's cultivation base has been stabilized while his foundation has been perfected.

In the first week during the month long time skip, tsunade has mastered the basic principle of the chakra enhancement jutsu and only needs to practice a bit more until she can fully display its full power.

After tsunade mastered the basic principles, rimuru began teaching tsunade medical knowledge to the young tsunade.

Letting her learning and mastering some basic medical ninjutsu because her talent is very high which is not surprising at all.

During that month, hashirama, the first hokage, sadly passed away due to internal injuries from the final fight between himself and Madara.

His sage body can't recover from the damages from the battle, sadly.

During the funeral, there was a crying tsunade and a grieving rimuru. His medical ninjutsu just isn't enough to treat or cure hashirama at all.

Although he received the knowledge, jutsu, and experience of the best medic ninja in the world, it still isn't high enough for the injuries of hashirama.

Maybe rimuru needs the yang release from the sage of six paths which could regenerate missing organs and limbs.

Rimuru, as the (adopted) older brother of tsunade, comforted her for a few days before going back to training her.

Also in the past month, Rimuru has been drinking a wine called "sake" to increase in the template proficiency because it suits his needs.

The 'whitebeard' template proficiency has increased from a mere 0.005% to 0.5% which is not a lot since the Unlimited increase talent doesn't work on beverages.

Right now, rimuru sat on a stool at a restaurant called the "Yakiniku Q" which just opened recently with the Akimichi clan behind it.

First rate ninja families like them aren't going to earn a lot of money on missions alone, you know?

This is an alternative way for earning income.

"Boss! One more bottle of sake please!"

The slightly drunk voice of rimuru earned a response from the boss.

"Got it, Rimuru!"

The boss quickly held a bottle of sake, gave a bottle of sake to rimuru, and smiled.

"Anything else?"

Rimuru shook his head responding to the polite words of the boss.

The reason why the boss is so enthusiastic and polite with him is because he is basically the highest consumer in the restaurant.

One of the main reason is that the restaurant is newly opened so there aren't that much costumers as in the future.

When the boss left, Rimuru hurriedly drank the bottle of sake.

The red hue on his face intensified with every gulp of the sake, his eyes were unclear, clearly showing how drunk he is.

As he was devouring the meat on the grill, a series of prompts sounded in his mind.

[*Ding, 'Whitebeard' template proficiency +0.005%]

[*Ding, 'Whitebeard' template proficiency +0.005%]

[*Ding, 'Whitebeard'…]

When the prompts ended, Rimuru has already finished devouring the grilled meat.

Feeling a bit dozy…

He lay his head on the table and closed his eyes, seemingly falling asleep.

*tok-tok* *tok-tok* *tok-tok*

Sounds of footsteps resounded, each step seemingly following a rhythm, and a faint sound of humming was faintly heard.

The footsteps sounded closer and closer until it arrived in front of the sleeping rimuru.

A small palm landed on the soft and silky light blue hair of rimuru, rubbing it slightly.

"Brother Rimuru~ It looks like your drunk again…"

"Hmph~! You should've brought me to drink with you."

"But… at least I can see one of the rare instance of you being drunk."

"Or else you won't even let me see this silly scene…"

"Hehe~"

Yes this person is tsunade.

She has just been watching the whole scene from a far without rimuru ever noticing.

Mostly because rimuru is drunk and he can't think straight but that doesn't matter.

The gleeful laughter of the loli sounded as she rubbed the head of rimuru before quietly leaving as she came.

While this small scene was happening in a small corner of Konoha, something big has happened in the ninja world.

…

Konoha

Hokage Office

"What!"

The loud and shocked voice of hiruzen was heard.

In front of him, sitting on the hokage's sit is Senju Tobirama, the second hokage.

Tobirama calmly looked at the shocked hiruzen, waiting for him to calm down.

Beside hiruzen is danzo, Koharu, and homura, who were shocked but did not shout out loud like hiruzen.

"Are you sure about that, Tobirama-sensei!?"

The questioning voice of hiruzen once again sounded in the room.

Danzo looked at hiruzen irritatedly but did not say anything While tobirama only calmly answered to hiruzen and the rest of Team Tobirama.

"Yes, This came from the envoys of iwagakure, Kumogakure, sunagakure, and surprisingly Kirigakure."

4 separate letters were taken out from tobirama's desk as he handed it to hiruzen and the rest to see.

There may be 4 separate letters but all of it has the same information.

"[Blank] village has declared war on Konoha."

The four great ninja villages has declared war on Konohagakure.

The four people were shocked.

The first great ninja war has just ended and now another war has started!?

During the first great ninja war, The three major villages attacked the land of fire because of the high-fertility land and the high natural resources in it.

Although hashirama was crowned the title "God of Shinobi" and Uchiha Madara, who hasn't defected yet, was crowned the title "Shura", The 3 great ninja villages underestimate them and thought that hashirama and madara's title was exaggerated.

So they formed an alliance and directly declared war at them.

The results could be imagined.

Hashirama and Madara both directly suppressed the villages with ease, bringing a psychological shadow on the 3 great villages.

Now that the news of the death of hashirama was leaked, they immediately declared war again even though not much time has passed since then.

What's even more outrageous is that Kirigakure has joined in the war with the other great ninja villages.

The only advantage of Konohagakure is the only superkage-level ninja in the world and a huge number of regular and elite jonins.

There are also a lot of famous blood succession limits in Konohagakure such as the Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, kurama clan, Akimichi clan, Yamanaka clan, Nara clan, and etc.

"What do we do, sensei?" asked Hiruzen.

Danzo was the first to speak, saying: "We need to gather all the forces we have and launch a surprise attack on them, sensei!"

Koharu and Homura both agreed with danzo's idea of hitting the enemy first before they strike you.

"I'll gather the clan heads of various clans in Konoha and discuss a detailed battle plan."

The four people nodded at Tobirama, bowed in respect, and left.

When the four left, Tobirama sat there while rubbing his temples.

…

The next day

Konoha Meeting Room

Various clan heads from different blood succession clans both sat in their respective seats while Tobirama, the second hokage, sat at the hokage's seat, indicating that he's the highest person in the room.

In the meeting room, Rimuru has also come because he heard that the second great ninja war has started.

The only reason why he's here is because of the mission given by the system.

[*Ding, Sign-in mission has been created.]

[*Ding, Sign-in mission location: War Meeting Room, Time limit: 1 day ]

It was the first sign-in mission he got so he was very diligent in getting it.

At the present, Tobirama was first to say: "Everyone, The envoys from the four great ninja villages has sent letters of the declaration of war. We are here to discuss plans to resist or defeat the forces of the ninja villages."

All the clan heads then began discussing the war plans while rimuru focused on his system.

[*Ding, Signing-In….]

[*Ding, Congratulations to the host for getting "9% Proficiency Percentage", "Perfect Sage Body", "All Rasengan Series" ]

Rimuru looked at the rewards in surprise.

The perfect sage body is the physique of hashirama which means that his chakra and chakra regeneration is greatly enhanced, his healing capabilities are also greatly enhanced.

The physical strength and potential is greatly enhanced and the talent in training sage mode is greatly enhanced.

Though the latter is somewhat useless since the auto-cultivation talent is a means of directly absorbing and converting nature energy to cultivation energy…

The last reward is actually quite useful.

It represents the mastering of all rasengan series that naruto has.

Rimuru then opened the template function and saw the proficiency level of the 'Whitebeard' template.

['Whitebeard' Template]

[Proficiency percentage: 1%]

[Free proficiency percentage: 9%]

'So the free proficiency percentage should be like the free attribute points from the games…' thought rimuru.

Adding all the free proficiency percentage to the 'whitebeard' template, it finally reached 10%.

A surge of power flowed into rimuru's body, greatly strengthening his physique even more.

A prompt from the system then sounded.

[*Ding, Congratulations to the host for unlocking the 10% milestone of the template.]

[*Ding, Observation Haki has been rewarded.]

{*Ding, Unlimited Increase Talent has been activated!}

{*Ding, Observation Haki (Beginner) is increased by 100 million, you get Observation Haki (Master).}

(Proficiency Level: Beginner-Intermediate-advance-master-God)

A warm flow of energy then flowed in rimuru's head and various information and uses of observation Haki popped in his mind.

'It seems that my perception ability has been greatly enhanced.'

'I could see 5 second in the future and the range of my observation Haki reaches 5,000 meters or 5 km.'

Thinking about the Haki he received, a small smile appeared on his face.

Just as he closed the system, the discussion in the meeting has just ended and everyone has already left.

'Eh?'

The golden eyes of rimuru was filled with surprise. He didn't know that time passes so quickly when he just looked through the system.

He quickly found tobirama who sat on his seat patiently.

"Granduncle, what happened?"

Tobirama looked at rimuru calmy and sighed.

"You didn't listen to the meeting, did you?"

A look of disappointment appeared on his face, looking at this silly looking grandnephew.

He stood up and slowly walked away, thinking: 'Is he really not the grandson of my silly brother?'

'He surely inherited the silliness of my brother…'

'Hopefully he won't inherit my brother's IQ…'

'Or else the future of Konoha is very bleak.'
