Chapter 189 Necessity is the mother of invention

The world of the First Hokage, Hashirama, unified the ninja world relatively earlier than other Hokage except Madara and Ryan. Before visiting the Konoha under the seventh Hokage, there was a great deal of confusion in his heart. After unifying the ninja world himself, he pondered what to do next. After his experiences in Naruto's Konoha, he realized that his journey was far from over. Although no one in the world could rival his strength, enemies were still waiting for him on the moon.

With this thought, a new will to fight ignited in Hashirama's heart, filling him with excitement.

"Good! Then let's start a hellish round of training! As for governing the entire world... I'll leave that to you, Tobirama!" Hashirama declared passionately before heading off to train under a waterfall.

The Otsutsuki's strength, which he had encountered in the Naruto world, had left a strong impression on Hashirama. He realized that if he were to fight those three enemies alone, the battle might not be as simple as overpowering them. It could be quite challenging! Hashirama thought that without information on the abilities of Dojotsu to absorb chakra, the battle might even be lost.

Determined to become even stronger, Hashirama immersed himself in intense training.

Meanwhile, his brother Tobirama watched with a sense of helplessness. Hashirama was unreliable when governing the entire world, often complaining about how dull it was to sign documents.

"He is completely irresponsible!" Tobirama muttered to himself. "He throws all the Konoha's governance documents and approval papers at me, while he goes off to train and gamble! Does he even consider me as a brother anymore?"

And now, upon hearing that new enemies would appear in the future, Hashirama had conveniently handed over everything to Tobirama so he could train. "Brother," Tobirama grumbled, "just because you say you're fighting for the fate of the whole village and everyone in it, doesn't mean you can ditch all your responsibilities!"

Yet, there was no way to truly blame Hashirama. After all, he was doing it to protect the peace of the shinobi world. With no other choice, Tobirama silently accepted this drudgery, feeling like he was born to live this hard life, stuck with such an idiotic big brother.

"Well," Tobirama sighed, "Looks like I'm destined to be the only responsible one in this family. Might as well get back to those approval papers. At least one of us should be running the village while the other one plays the hero."

As he sat down to tackle the mountain of paperwork, Tobirama couldn't help but think there had to be a more efficient way to handle all these tasks. Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in his head. "Maybe I should invent a jutsu to help me get through this faster," he mused, a smile creeping onto his face.

With newfound determination, Tobirama began to work on upgrading the clone jutsu that could allow him to be in multiple places at once. He wanted something more effective than the standard Clone Jutsu, something that could retain and transfer experiences and memories back to the original. Inspired by Hashirama's Wood Clone Jutsu, which had similar capabilities.

Tobirama delved into intense research and experimentation. After days of meticulous work, he finally succeeded.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Tobirama exclaimed, watching as several copies of himself appeared around the room. Each clone grabbed a stack of papers, ready to tackle the workload together. "This should speed things up considerably."

He couldn't help but chuckle, imagining Hashirama's reaction. "Maybe now I can keep up with all this paperwork. And who knows, I might even find some time to do some proper research."

In the Second Hokage Tobirama's World, Tobirama is quite different from how he was in the Hashirama's world. Here, he is the Hokage himself, and many tasks can be delegated to others. He can let others approve those documents because, after all, he is the boss and he has privileges.

After returning to his world, Tobirama even sneaks into the laboratory under the guise of researching enemy technology, putting everything else aside. His main focus remains on studying the technological equipment from Naruto's world, as these devices are quite novel to him.

Especially the equipment from Boruto's world. Those are the latest experimental works of the scientists there and represent relatively mature technological advancements. Tobirama is thoroughly captivated by these technologies.

As for improving his strength, Tobirama is not worried at all. With access to chat groups and a store filled with powerful items and equipment that can be exchanged, he has nothing to fear in terms of defeating enemies.

The most crucial point for Tobirama is that in the two missions across the multiverse, he finished second both times. Besides being slightly behind Ryan, he has far more points than the other Hokages. These points can be used to enhance his strength, exchange for valuable items, or win prizes, enabling him to obtain equipment or abilities that satisfy him greatly.

For Tobirama, this is more than sufficient. He is confident about his strength and is prepared to enhance it further at the next meeting. When the enemies from the moon come, they will surely be in for a surprise.

In Ryan's world, under his urging, Konoha has fully entered the age of technology. A large number of technological products are emerging rapidly, thanks in part to the last meteorite event. The live broadcast of that event allowed all the ninjas to witness the advancements firsthand.

The newly invented Chakra Cannon is incredibly powerful and capable of easily crushing meteorites from outer space. Understanding the significance of such technology, ninjas have unanimously agreed to vigorously develop technological products. They welcome anything that can replace manually crafted items.

In the past, ninjas had to engage in battles personally, constantly risking their lives. But now, with the Chakra Cannon, they only need to provide their Chakra while the weapon handles the rest, significantly minimizing the risks of combat. Additionally, the widespread adoption of technological products in everyday life has brought considerable convenience.

These various technological advancements have made life much more comfortable and efficient than before. Meanwhile, the younger generation of Konoha, including the future Konoha twelve, is also growing up. Although they are still at a stage where they can barely walk, they are being raised in a world that is far more advanced. As they mature, both combat and other aspects of life will become much more convenient for them.

In the Fourth Hokage Minato's world, Minato is traveling to other great nations. Despite his journey, he has ensured that important matters, such as information added to Konoha archives, are still being handled efficiently.

Nighttime in the Hokage Office.

"Lord Hokage!"

A masked Anbu appeared at the window, speaking respectfully to Minato.

"What's going on?" Minato asked. Despite it being past 8, he was still in the office, planning his next move. The village was essentially in a state of war, and everything was tense. He found himself going home much less often than before.

The Anbu continued, "After our investigation, the organization in the Land of Rain you asked us to monitor has become active. They seem to be moving around the Land of Fire."

Minato's face remained calm as he listened. "Alright, I understand," he said. Then, he murmured to himself, "Obito..."

After entering the office, Minato knew the truth: the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion was none other than Obito. He was also aware that Obito was secretly manipulating others within the Akatsuki organization, conducting various activities around the world that threatened the safety of the entire ninja world.

Minato had never let up on his vigilance regarding this. He had specifically dispatched some Anbu members to gather intelligence. Their task was to keep tabs on Akatsuki's movements and report back immediately whenever they became active.

After a period of silence, it seemed Obito was finally making a move again. Minato pondered for a moment before asking, "What are you targeting now?"
