Chapter 10

(MC POV)

I almost can't help but smirk at the profusely sweating Minato as he contemplates the consequences of space time traveling. Everything I said earlier was complete bullshit. Do god like existences live in the void? Of course they do, beings that create alternate dimensions already exist in this plane of reality. Is it possible there aren't any god like beings roaming the void?

Yes, but I'd rather assume that there are, Otsutsuki already exist is it really impossible for similar beings of other realities to exist?

Worrying about such things is meaningless, only by strengthening yourself can you be prepared to take on such challenges. The reason I said this to Minato is to make him hesitant to learn the flying thunder god jutsu. In the 3rd great shinobi war I will be in the spotlight collecting jutsu after jutsu, I will isolate the genuine talents in Konohagakure untill the people solely rely on me.

Speaking of which I need to establish a relationship with Danzo to eliminate the Uchiha early, I refuse to have such a powerful kekkei genkai like the sharingan exist. Fugaku cannot be allowed to gain fame throughout the 3rd great shinobi war. Every threat to me must be either eliminated or brought to my side.

I will kill Obito before Madara can convince him to follow the eye of the moon plan. Can he stop me? Obviously not, once I reach the level of a Kage Madara cannot personally deal with me because he's practically already half dead. Besides, I'm not going to directly interfere in Zetsu's plan untill the most crucial point.

My plan of action now is to kill off famous traitors of various villages while advancing and refining my techniques. Before the 3rd great shinobi war starts I must be Kage level. The fastest way to advance my strength is to continue completing missions and gaining rewards.

I already have a few names listed down that I want to kill, first off is Ganryu, a jonin from Kirigakure know for his skill in kenjutsu, Gonbee, a jonin from Kirigakure know for his skill in water release, Heki, a jonin from Kirigakure know for his skill in wind release, and Mangetsu Hozuki a jonin from Kirigakure know for his innate talent in kenjutsu.

Yes, every single person I plan to kill is a jonin of Kirigakure who is either skilled in water release, wind release or kenjutsu. I plan to collect skills related to water, wind and swordsmanship to increase my strength drastically. Unlike before I won't kill these shinobi in fair one on one fights, no, that would be ridiculous. I'm going to assassinate all of them, the reason I hunted down the executioner blade wielder was because I need sealing jutsu from the Hokage.

But now I know I can't learn the flying thunder god jutsu before the war, there simply isn't enough time. In that case I must hunt down as many people as possible in the shortest time possible. My main target is Kirigakure as they are the village with the most kenjutsu experts.

Of course I can't just stop publicly killing people otherwise the Hokage will be breathing down my neck asking why I'm not doing anything. I must give Hiruzen the sense that I am desperate for more sealing jutsu otherwise he'll be suspicious of what I'm doing and investigate. If there is one thing I hate more then talking to Hiruzen it's being watched by multiple anbu reporting every action of mine to him. It's not like I can kill them either otherwise the old man will be at my doorstep complaining about my treatment of my fellow shinobi and whatnot.

I shake Minato awake from his nightmares and force him to look me in the eyes.

"Minato-san through the conversation I had with you I can tell of your kind character but you shouldn't panic or tell anyone of this. These are just hypothetical questions that we have no way to solve so you really shouldn't stress. Although we don't know the side effects of space-time travel it's hopefully not that bad."

Minato justs looks at me with a deadpan expression clearly aggravated by my bad consolation that didn't alleviate his worries whatsoever.

"Remember Minato this is just an observation I made after studying the flying thunder god jutsu for 3 weeks you shouldn't be so scared, after all Tobirama's notes don't depict any creature that lives in the void."

But I stop after saying that sentence and Minato obviously notices and shakes my arm.

"What else do you think is a possibility Hikaru-san."

"Uhhh...well, it's possible that if Tobirama did meet some god like being but that it erased his memories and that's why the only record of the void is that nothing is in there."

"However it's impossible that nothing is in the void, nature energy can only be created through life but nature energy also creates life. It's impossible that Tobirama didn't leave behind nature energy because his high chakra levels and extreme level of vitality would constantly create large amounts of nature energy so there must be some life form in the void no matter how primitive."

Minato puts both of his hands on my shoulders as he shakes internally at this statement.

"So you're saying that there must be some form of organic life in the void?"

"Well yes, there might also be planets in the void, after all nature energy can produce more than just life, your sensei Jiraiya can tell you that much. Life and nature energy coexist, it's safe to say they are basically part of a never ending cycle, once life has existed it can not be extinguished due to nature energy that will always make new life."

"This means that Tobirama definitely gave life to the void from just entering it if it didn't already contain life. Nature energy is the primordial soup that creates life, after all what are the buji?"

Minato stares deep into my soul in horror.

"Y-you mean to tell me that that tail beasts are beings born from nature energy?"

"Of course, what did you think they were? Some type of chakra construct? They clearly aren't animals as they are completely made of chakra, corporal yet intangible, existing yet not existing, just like nature energy."
