Chapter 182

Currently, in the Road to Ninja Tsunade World, the pursuit of the Tailed Beast continues.

Due to their immense power, Tailed Beasts pose a formidable challenge that normal ninjas cannot easily seal them.

Tsunade has delegated leadership to a more powerful ninja who leads the team in coordinated attacks.

Upon discovering the Tailed Beast's trail, they refrain from immediate action, instead swiftly notifying Konoha headquarters. It is then that Tsunade herself will intervene.

With her expertise in the Ice Release and Zanpakutō techniques, she holds a distinct advantage in confronting Tailed Beasts.

Uchiha Madara's world had long been under his unified rule, with advancements in technology accelerating over the past six months. As one of the swiftest and the first Hokage, Madara was intimately familiar with these developments.

Another significant aspect of his reign was his initiative to hunt down the Tailed Beasts within his domain. Most of the Tailed Beasts had fled after their host had died and remained uncaptured by other villages due to the chaos unleashed during Madara's campaign to unify the shinobi world under Konoha. Escaping posed little difficulty for them amidst the turmoil.

Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Madara took matters into his own hands, declaring a hunt for all Tailed Beasts within his reach. Soon, traces of the One-Tail's presence near the Sunagakure village were discovered. The most cunning of all tailed beasts Shukaku. After being tracked down, concealed itself adeptly, disguising itself as a dune and awaiting Madara's arrival for a surprise attack.

"Wind Style: Vaccum Bullets!" Shukaku unleashed massive air bullet-like bombs from his mouth, creating a deafening explosion in the desert.

Unaware of the impending danger, Uchiha Madara was struck by the attack!

The area was engulfed in a cloud of dust, with billowing smoke obscuring visibility all around. Amidst this chaos, the One-Tail Shukaku laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha! Uchiha Madara! You who unified the ninja world, you're nothing special. This is how you meet your end under the paws of the strongest-tailed beast of all!"

Witnessing this scene unfold, the ninjas following Madara were filled with shock and terror. Could something truly happen to Uchiha Madara?

"Master Hokage! Are you alright?" Anbu guard of Uchiha Madara cried out in panicked concern.

From within the swirling smoke, Uchiha Madara's voice resounded.

"What's with all the commotion? It's just a minor skirmish; there's no need for such surprise."

With these words, the smoke gradually cleared, revealing Uchiha Madara emerging from its midst. It was evident he had been caught off guard and had sustained numerous injuries. 

Considering an ordinary person's body, such a barrage of ninjutsu would be fatal. Yet, thanks to the blessing of super-divine water, Madara's injuries were not as severe as they appeared. The scars on his body were already healing rapidly.

"How is this possible?"

"What kind of ninjutsu are you using? You are a damn Uchiha! Not from the Senju clan!" exclaimed Shukaku in surprise.

On the opposite side, facing a human opponent, the speed at which the body was recovering was beyond human capabilities. It was clear that despite taking a direct hit just moments ago, Uchiha Madara had consumed a Senzu Bean.

"No matter how much damage I take, I can recover!" he declared confidently. "This makes my use of my Senzu Bean completely wasted! I'll make you pay for it!"

Uchiha Madara's dissatisfaction was evident as his eyes transformed into the Sharingan.

"Genjutsu! Are you trying to control me?" he taunted.

Reacting swiftly, One-Tail Shukaku covered his eyes with his hands. "I won't give you that chance!"

Madara grinned darkly. "Control? That's beneath me. I'll defeat you until you can't stand!"

"Susanoo!"

In the Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world, Konoha's strength surpassed many others due to its longer development and advanced foundation. This advantage had been cultivated over time, making them formidable in their world.

Following the meteorite's impact last time, numerous Hokages emerged, striking fear into other major shinobi villages. No one could have anticipated this. People had forgotten after the fourth Shinobi war that Konoha had reanimation no jutsu plus Orochimaru and his student Kabuto had not only mastered this jutsu created by Tobirama but developed it to perfection! So the shinobi villages assumed that Konoha had used that forbidden Jutsu again.

When so many Kage shinobi demonstrated their formidable strength, presenting an assembly of countless Hokages! With such high-level combat prowess combined, who could challenge them? Hope seemed nonexistent. Capitalizing on his strength and misunderstanding about various Kage-level combatants, Kakashi launched assaults on other Shinobi villages.

Under the leadership of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, most of the world's troubles had been resolved. During this period, she mirrored Ryan and Madara's world advancements, initiating technological development in their realm. They gathered numerous scientific minds, conducting joint research and development with Konoha Village. Generous funding ensured they could focus on their studies without worry.

Under these circumstances, their world progressed rapidly. New scientific inventions emerged continually, greatly enhancing global living standards. Despite this progress, chakra-enhanced weaponry persisted, while the development of a Chakra cannon, akin to Ryan's world, remained elusive. Further research was needed to create such a weapon.

At present, only two worlds have achieved this feat: one being the Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world.

Their world had been developing for a very long time. The technology in Kumogaskure was also highly advanced, providing an opportunity to create such a weapon. Another world capable of achieving this feat was Ryan's. Ryan was the first to unite the ninja world, maintaining consistently high standings globally. This demonstrated significant advancement compared to other worlds.

Therefore, in their world, this task wasn't difficult. However, in other worlds like the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, developing something similar would take time.

In the Seventh Hokage Naruto's world, after returning through the portal, Naruto couldn't help but sigh, "It feels like a dream!"

He was ecstatic. While such missions were routine with the Hokages, it was entirely different for Naruto; the rewards this time were immense. Initially drawn into a Hokage meeting where he met eleven Hokages at once, many of them old friends like Kakashi and Sasuke, Naruto also encountered two versions of Tsunade ba chan, the First and Second Hokages, and even Hokage Obito and Uchiha Madara. Plus his father was also there and he wondered did his mother ever achieved her dream of being Hokage in another world.

The developments and possibilities of these parallel worlds truly opened his eyes.
