Chapter 344 - Ryosuke is a Singularity?

In the Hokage chat group, Madara and Tobirama were having their usual quarrel again.

Even though they weren't even from the same world, they still argued every day.

The other members of the group had long grown used to it.

In the beginning, some tried to mediate. Especially Hashirama, as Tobirama's elder brother.

However, after witnessing countless arguments, even Hashirama stopped bothering to intervene.

Sometimes, he even fanned the flames on purpose. It seemed he had awakened some kind of special trait.

But—

Though Madara and Tobirama argued, it never escalated beyond words.

After all, they didn't have the privilege to travel between worlds at will.

Naturally, their disputes remained online and never turned into real-world battles.

"They're at it again. I wonder if Madara and Tobirama are just naturally incompatible?"

Propping his chin with one hand, Ryosuke watched their bickering with amusement.

Just then!

Ding~!

"Welcome new member [Fourth Hokage Orochimaru] to the Hokage chat group!"

Ding~!

"Welcome new member [Third Hokage Shimura Danzo] to the Hokage chat group!"

Ding~!

"Welcome new member [Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi] to the chat group!"

A series of system notifications instantly silenced Madara and Tobirama, who had been in the middle of their argument.

"New members!"

Excitement lit up the chat as the group prepared to greet the newcomers.

[Third Hokage Shimura Danzo]: "Who?! Who's trying to trap this old man in a genjutsu?!"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "Danzo?!"

[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen]: "Impossible! How could Danzo be the Hokage?!"

[Third Hokage Shimura Danzo]: "Tobirama-sensei?! Hiruzen?! You… No! Damn it! Who used genjutsu on me?! Was it the Uchiha?!"

[First Hokage Uchiha Madara]: "Don't pin this on the Uchiha. Just read the group announcement."

At that moment, Orochimaru and Kakashi, who had been silently observing, checked the group's introduction.

After a short while, the two Hokages from different worlds quickly understood the situation.

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "So this is a chat group exclusively for Hokages from different worlds?"

[Fourth Hokage Orochimaru]: "What a fascinating place!"

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "Orochimaru and Kakashi... Kakashi being the Hokage makes sense, but Orochimaru—how did you become Hokage?"

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "Are you the Sixth Hokage too? Then who was the Fifth before you?"

[Fourth Hokage Orochimaru]: "Oh~! Surprised that I became Hokage? I wonder why?"

[Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato]: "Maybe because of me."

[Fourth Hokage Hatake Sakumo]: "Or maybe because of me."

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "Father?!!!"

[Fourth Hokage Orochimaru]: "Oh~! I see there are already two 'Fourth Hokage' in this group."

[First Hokage Senju Hashirama]: "Haha~! Three newcomers at once! The group finally has ten members! Shouldn't this unlock new features?"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "Hold on, brother. Let me talk to Danzo first. @Shimura Danzo! Stop playing dead and answer me—how did you become Hokage in your world?"

A Parallel World—

Inside the Hokage's office

An aged Danzo stared at the chat interface in his mind, astonishment flashing across his face.

"So it's real…"

"This Tobirama is a version from another world?"

"And Hiruzen… In another world, Hiruzen became the Third Hokage? Well, that makes sense. Tobirama-sensei always favored him over the rest of us. If Hiruzen had lived, he definitely would've chosen him as Hokage."

Danzo's eyes gleamed as he processed the situation. Then, he composed a message.

[Third Hokage Shimura Danzo]: "Tobirama-sensei? Hiruzen?! You're still alive?!"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "The Monkey in your world is dead?"

[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen]: "???"

[Third Hokage Shimura Danzo]: "Yes, Sensei. We signed a truce with Kumogakure, but the Gold and Silver Brothers ambushed us. You sacrificed yourself to save us… and Hiruzen died while breaking through enemy lines."

[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen]: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! It was you, wasn't it?! You killed me in your world, didn't you?!"

[Third Hokage Shimura Danzo]: "Hiruzen, what nonsense are you talking about?! Why would I harm you?!"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "Alright, let's focus. Danzo, tell me—how many years has it been since Konoha's founding?"

[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen]: "Tobirama-sensei, Danzo never accepted that you appointed me as Hokage. I have every reason to believe that in his world, he took the position by force!"

[Third Hokage Shimura Danzo]: "Hiruzen, do we have such a bad relationship in your world? Why would you assume I became Hokage through underhanded means?"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "Enough, Monkey. Let Danzo explain first."

A Parallel World—

"Damn that Danzo! He murdered me for the Hokage position! And now he's playing innocent in front of Tobirama-sensei!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes burned with fury.

Even though it was another version of himself, the thought of Danzo becoming Hokage while he died before even returning to the village…

It only fueled his rage.

What made it worse was that the Danzo in his world had repeatedly shown discontent over Tobirama-sensei choosing him as Hokage.

And in the previous chat, Sarutobi Hiruzen also heard from Ryosuke that in his world, after the death of the Fourth Hokage, the original Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to take over again.

But Danzō had actually sent Kakashi to assassinate the Sarutobi Hiruzen of that world.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with dissatisfaction with Danzo.

What friendship!

In the face of Hokage's power, it is not worth mentioning.

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen had 100% confidence that he could suppress Danzo, so he cared about the friendship between the two.

But now...

When he saw the parallel world, where he was plotted to death by Danzo and didn't sit become the Third Hokage at all...

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen jealous and dissatisfied with Danzo.

Danzo... time to limit his powers!

Root Headquarters

Danzō was reading the battle reports from the front when suddenly, he sneezed a few times.

"Strange, is someone scolding me behind my back?" Danzō wondered.

...

"Interesting, I didn't expect Danzō to become the Hokage as he wished! He replaced Sarutobi Hiruzen and became the Third Hokage!!"

Ryosuke looked at the three new members of the group.

There is nothing to say about Kakashi. He is the Sixth Hokage in the original story, so that world should not have changed much.

But this is just Ryosuke's guess. He will have to see it to know the specifics.

And the other two group members are interesting.

One Orochimaru, one Danzō. They are both villains in the original story.

And now, they both became Hokage in their respective worlds?!

A Third Hokage, replacing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

A Fourth Hokage, replacing Minato.

Incredible!!

Ryosuke continued to look at the chats of everyone in the group with a smile while clicking on the cards of the three newcomers.

"Kakashi is in the early stage of Kage-level, and should have mastered Obito's other Mangekyō Sharingan's Kamui, but he has too little Chakra, so his rating is not high."

There is no problem with this. Kakashi was an Elite Jōnin or quasi-Kage before mastering Kamui.

It wasn't until he mastered Kamui that he had Kage-level combat power.

But because the Mangekyo Sharingan was not his, his ranking in Kage-level will not be high.

It wasn't until Obito returned from the Pure Land, sent Kakashi Ten Tails Chakra and another Mangekyō, that his strength reach super Kage-level.

But Kakashi, who has just joined the group, obviously hasn't reached this period yet.

In addition, Orochimaru's strength rating is peak Kage-level.

However, in the combat power rankings, he ranks above Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzō, and Sakumo.

Only below Minato, who is quasi-super Kage-level.

"It should be because of Edo Tensei, or is it because he has learned the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave?"

The thing that made Ryosuke most curious was Danzō.

In his memory, Danzō having Kage-level strength is actually a bit of a debate.

Danzō in his prime may really have had Kage-level strength.

But the Danzō whom Ryosuke knew was old. He didn't have such strength at all.

And the new Danzō who has joined the group is a bit interesting.

Kage-level late stage strength!

The second to last in the chat group!

But as far as Danzō is concerned, he is already very strong.

After all, the Danzō in many other worlds does not have late Kage-level strength.

The beginning of Kage-level is already his limit.

No wonder this Danzo became the Hokage.

[Sixth HokageHatake Kakashi]: "Father? Is it really you?!"

[Fourth Hokage Hatake Sakumo]: "Yo~ Kakashi from the parallel world, I am indeed your father, but you are the Sixth Hokage, and you should be about the same age as I am now."

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "Father! It's really you!! Parallel world..."

"You, actually became Hokage?! You took over Minato-sensei!!!"

[Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato]: "Huh~! Kakashi, you are also my student in your world?"

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "Yes, Minato-sensei! I, Obito, and Rin are all your students."

[Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato]: "Obito and Rin... It seems nothing has changed. So, Kakashi, I have a question for you, Obito and Rin in your world... Are they still alive?"

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "No, both Obito and Rin died in the Third Great Ninja War. Obito died to save me, and Rin also died for the village."

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "It seems that this new Kakashi is very similar to the Kakashi I am familiar with, there is not much difference!"

[Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi]: "Are you... the Sixth Hokage of the parallel world? But Ryosuke... I haven't heard of that name in the village at all."

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "It seems that I am not in your world!"

Ryosuke sat in the Hokage's office, looking at the message sent by Kakashi in the chat group with a smile.

In fact, he had visited other parallel worlds before.

The timelines of the first six Hokages are too far back, so the time of his birth is still far.

But what about his parents?

In fact, Ryosuke has been to six different parallel worlds.

No ninja surnamed Yagami has ever been found in Konoha.

That is to say, in these six parallel worlds, there is no equivalent of Ryosuke.

He suspected that this might be because of his special status as a transmigrator.
