Chapter 83

When the third meeting finished successfully, and upon returning to their respective worlds, everyone claimed the rewards they had earned from the chat.

Ryan had integrated the Tenseigan and consumed the Logia Glint-Glint fruit, elevating his strength to a level beyond the Six Paths. Additionally, Marine Six Styles would be widely taught throughout Konoha and become a mandatory skill in ninja schools.

As Ryan's decision was announced, everyone, except for Hashirama and Obito who didn't receive Marine Six Styles, expressed genuine interest. Once they became familiar with the Training method of Marine Six Styles, they realized its potential to enhance the village's power. Ryan himself had made the same choice as the others and incorporated Marine Six Styles into Konoha's curriculum, making it a compulsory course for all Konoha Shinobi.

Madara and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just joined the chat group, looked curiously at the Marine Six Styles displayed in the image. They hadn't expected the chat group to offer such magical Taijutsu skills.

The chat group revealed that in the first month, Ryan had controlled the daimyos to oppress other ninja villages, and his actions were about to be exposed. In the second month, he killed the daimyo of the Land of Water and framed Kirigakure, sparking the Third Ninja World War. Uchiha clan led the army on the battlefield.

Furthermore, since Ryan had already reached the Six Paths level, he believed it was time to take action against the five major powers. Konoha's army began an attack on Sunagakure. These operations left everyone present stunned. Witnessing Ryan's decision to control the daimyos of other countries, suppress his own country, and funnel resources to Konoha, they were amazed.

"Wow, this operation is incredible!"

"Can we really do that?"

"What a bold move!"

For a moment, everyone looked at Ryan in astonishment. However, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara, being from Konoha, had no objections. On the contrary, they appreciated Ryan's methods and were even considering following suit upon their return.

Ryan's direct attack on Sunagakure impressed them, even though they hadn't witnessed the subsequent results. Ryan's consistent top-ranking status spoke for itself, and it was evident that the outcome of this war would not be surprising.

On the Sunagakure battlefield, Ryan personally frightened the entire village and held the daimyo of the Land of Wind hostage, announcing the merger of the Land of Wind into the Land of Fire. Under his thunderous tactics, the entire Land of Wind was disintegrated in an instant and merged into the Land of Fire.

In the second month, Konoha ninjas entered the Land of Wind for assimilation under Ryan's arrangement. In the third month, the Rock Shinobi battlefield and the Cloud Shinobi battlefield chose to withdraw their troops upon hearing the news of the Land of Wind's fall.

In the fourth month, Iwagakure and Cloud Shinobi Village announced their alliance. In the fifth month, the Mist Shinobi battlefield erupted, and Uchiha Fugaku's troops successfully repelled the Mist Shinobi army and killed the Third Mizukage.

In the sixth month, the Third Ninja World War temporarily came to an end, and Ryan began training his three disciples to strengthen the bonds between the ninja clans.

After witnessing the events unfold, everyone came back to their senses. No one had anticipated the multitude of things that had occurred in Ryan's world over the past six months. Most astonishing of all was the outbreak of the third ninja war and Ryan's successful merger of the Land of Wind into the Land of Fire. Sunagakure's Kage Rasa would report directly to Konoha.

"So much can happen in just half a year."

"You are truly amazing!"

Hashirama couldn't help but praise Ryan, and Madara, standing beside him, resonated deeply with Ryan's approach. Particularly after witnessing Ryan's audacious actions against Sunagakure and hearing the words about peace spoken by Chiyo and others, Madara's alignment with Ryan's ideals became even more apparent.

"You truly have an appetite for power!"

"In my world, no young ninja can compare to you!"

Just as Ryan thought Grandpa Madara was about to declare himself the strongest, Madara stopped short after that sentence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other hand, gazed at Ryan with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, leaving everyone wondering about his thoughts.

With Ryan's world experience completed, the light curtain in front of them changed once again. The display revealed the national strength of Ryan's world.

"The final comprehensive score of national strength: 988 points."

The hint provided indicated that Hokage World had evaluation points ranging from 10 to 1000, Level 2 World had evaluation points ranging from 1000 to 10,000, and so on.

Looking at the final rating of 988 points for Ryan's world, everyone gasped in surprise. However, there was also a sense of disappointment among them. Since the rewards for the leaderboard were based on world ratings, Ryan shook his head regretfully.

"It's unfortunate that the difference is only 12 points. Otherwise, the leaderboard rewards would have been the secondary world's prize pool."

However, everyone assured Ryan that they didn't mind the slight difference. Given the speed at which Ryan was developing his national power, they believed that in the next meeting, his world's rating would surpass the 1,000 mark. Missing the mark this time wasn't a concern.

After Ryan's first-place display, the light curtain in front of them began to change once again. The announcement for the second-ranked world was about to begin. Hashirama and the others became excited, their gaze fixated on the changing words on the light curtain. Soon, the words on the curtain revealed the second-place world.

When everyone saw the name of the second-place world on the light curtain, the meeting space fell silent once more.

[Selection completed!]

[Second Place: Parallel World, First Hokage Uchiha Madara World!]

No one had expected that Uchiha Madara's world would secure second place. However, Ryan wasn't surprised at all. He knew that when Uchiha Madara and Hashirama joined forces, they were an unstoppable force in the ninja world.

The addition of Tobirama's contributions to the village's development made it even stronger. Ryan recognized the power of their combined efforts.

Upon seeing his world ranked second, Uchiha Madara was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't anticipated achieving such a high ranking immediately after joining the group. Naturally, he felt satisfied with this result as a proud member of the Uchiha clan. However, there was still a sense of dissatisfaction within him. Being the proud Uchiha clan member he was, Madara felt that he should have secured the top spot.

When asked if he wanted to display his national power, Uchiha Madara chose to do so without hesitation. As a proud Uchiha, he believed it was only natural to showcase his power. The display began, revealing Madara's journey.

During the Sengoku period, Madara and Hashirama became friends and often spent time together for leisure. As the light curtain displayed their image, it shattered the aloof image typically associated with Madara. He couldn't help but blush, while Hashirama smiled nostalgically, reminiscing about the past.

As time passed, Madara and Hashirama became the leaders of their respective clans. They agreed to end the chaotic ninja world and decided to build Konoha together. With Izuna's assistance and Hashirama's intentional concession, Madara successfully became the Hokage. However, the ninja world remained in turmoil.

Determined to bring peace to the ninja world, Madara and Hashirama embarked on a journey together to quell the ongoing wars. Ryan noticed that in this parallel world, Uchiha Izuna was still alive, which explained how Madara could become a Hokage.

In Konoha, both Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama existed, and their strength was unquestionable. This realization explained why Madara's world could secure such a high rank upon joining the chat group.

In their efforts to quell the wars, Madara and Hashirama decided to use violence to suppress violence. As the Hokage, Hashirama chose to obey Madara's orders. They displayed their powers, including Susano and True thousand hands on the battlefield, unleashing devastating skills.

They quickly quelled the wars and earned the titles of "Ashura no Shinobi" and "Kami no Shinobi" in the ninja world. Upon returning to the village, Madara ordered Izuna and Tobirama to vigorously develop various facilities in Konoha.

While developing Konoha, Madara received vassal requests from neighboring small countries. However, he dismissed them, opting to pursue true peace for the ninja world.

The last picture displayed Madara, Hashirama, and others deep in discussion, hinting at Madara's plan. Surprisingly, even though Konoha had just been established, Madara was already preparing to wage war on small countries, surpassing his previous actions before joining the chat group.

With this realization, everyone understood why Uchiha Madara's world had secured second place. They eagerly awaited the final comprehensive score of his world's national strength, displayed on the light curtain.
