Naruto: I can take people to the future ninja world

Xia You didn't waste any time and snapped his fingers to activate [World Teleport] again.

He brought Tobirama back to the [World of Naruto No. 2].

It was still the same forest, and still within the same battlefield ruins.

When Tobirama returned again, he felt dizzy, and everything he just witnessed seemed like just a dream!

Did he and his elder brother really travel to the future together and witness a 'Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion'?

It can't be all an illusion, right?

No no no, that's too realistic!

Tobirama looked at the 'Xia You Immortal' beside him, and the corpse of Jinjiao that was crushed into a meat paste in the distance, and immediately shook his head with a smile.

It is obvious that this is all fact and not an illusion.

"Wait a moment, sir."

Tobirama took a deep breath, drew his samurai sword, and with a flash of his body he flashed into the center of the battlefield and came to the side of the dying Ginkaku.

Without hesitation, he chopped off Yinjiao's head with one knife, killing the beast completely.

Even if we put aside the enemy's position, Tobirama despises this kind of beast who betrays his village and leader!

"call--!"

Tobirama shook off the blood on the samurai sword, activated his perception ability again, checked the entire battlefield, and after making sure that there were no remaining enemies, he put away his weapon.

He also picked up the five [Six Paths Ninja Tools] left by Kinkaku and Ginkaku and returned to Xia You.

Thank you again:

"Thank you, sir! Without you and my brother, I might have really died here."

Xia You waved his hand casually, indicating that the other party was welcome to come.

"Excuse me sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

Unlike the silly Hashirama, Tobirama went straight to the point and asked.

He had no doubt that Xia You was powerful enough to easily take him and his elder brother through time and space! However, no matter how powerful a being is, he would not love others for no reason.

There is a greater probability that you will not help others selflessly.

He wanted to know what this [Yudao Immortal] needed and what he wanted.

Can he and Konoha afford this price?

He really won't feel at ease until he figured this out!

In this regard.

Xia You was not in a hurry to answer, but asked back:

"Do you have an answer to the question just now?"

what is the problem?

Tobirama suddenly remembered.

[You chose to stay behind and cover our retreat with your life, is that right? ]

If Tobirama had responded without hesitation half an hour ago, his choice would have been absolutely correct.

In order to protect the outstanding younger generation of ninjas, in order to pass on the will of fire and the position of Hokage, and in order to ensure that the news is brought back to the village...

He has too many reasons, and none of them can be abandoned.

The key is:

As the Hokage, as the second generation who inherited the will of his elder brother, it is impossible for him to abandon his disciples and subordinates and flee alone...

but now.

After traveling to the world 34 years later and seeing the future Sarutobi and Konoha Village.

The sharp and intelligent Tobirama naturally saw some clues.

This made him hesitate in his answer.

Xia You smiled lightly and said bluntly:

"I believe you can see it. The future Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen and your current Sarutobi are quite different, right?"

Tobirama nodded.

The gap between the two is indeed huge, of course this gap does not just refer to the change in appearance.

It refers to a deeper change in temperament and belief...

"The monkey has indeed changed a lot..." Tobirama murmured with emotion.

He died early, and no one knew what Sarutobi went through in the next thirty years or so that he became so "cautious and timid".

“That’s why.”

"In this battle."

"Senju Tobirama, you stayed behind alone to cover their retreat and indeed saved the lives of Sarutobi and the others."

“But the price cannot be low.”

"Your death has directly shattered Sarutobi's faith and courage!"

Faced with the tragic death of the Second Hokage, whom he admired and respected the most, at the hands of the enemy, he and his companions were forced to escape in a shameful manner.

Not every ninja can withstand this blow.

Or:

It wasn't just Sarutobi.

The other personal guards of Tobirama were Uchiha Kagami who had died in battle long ago, and Akimichi Tofu who was killed by the Nine-Tails.

The remaining few people are Sarutobi, Koharu, Mitomon, and Danzo.

All of their spirits were broken in this battle.

They lost their courage and faith, turning them from brave and skilled ninjas into cowards hiding in the village.

Such changes do not just affect individuals.

As the Hokage and high-ranking officials of the village, all decisions they make based on cowardice will affect the entire village.

As a result, Konoha became timid and increasingly cowardly during the entire period of the Third Generation's rule.

So much so.

After several subsequent battles, the entire Konoha was somewhat afraid of Kumogakure.

Even after the Third World War, in the 54th year of Konoha: the Hidden Cloud Village attacked Konoha, kidnapped Hinata, and wanted to borrow a [Byakugan] from Konoha to play with.

The head of the human family, Hyuga Hiashi, dared to rebel against Kumogakure and take back Hinata.

However, Sarutobi and other Konoha high-ranking officials did not dare to confront Kumogakure, and even suppressed the Hyuga clan internally, forcing Hizashi Hizashi's younger brother Hizashi to commit suicide, and they voluntarily handed over Hizashi's body.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so depressed, so depressed that I feel anxious!

This is enough to show that Sarutobi and others are afraid and wary of Kumogakure.

Ever since the Second Hokage Tobirama was killed, it has never dissipated and has lasted for decades, indirectly making Konoha in trouble for decades!

Like a nightmare!

...

Tobirama suddenly realized that he didn't need too many hints and understood it immediately.

He had always been thinking about how to protect Sarutobi and others, and how to pass on the title of Hokage and the village.

However, he greatly ignored the blow his death in battle would bring to Sarutobi and the others!

Put yourself in their shoes.

What if his most trusted and admired elder brother, Hashirama, was killed by an enemy from a certain village one day, while he himself escaped like a rat?

Then what will become of me?

Will you still have the courage to challenge the powerful enemy that even your eldest brother cannot defeat?

Maybe, maybe not...

Tobirama himself wasn't sure, let alone Sarutobi and the others.

My position in their hearts is probably no lower than that of my elder brother Hashirama in my heart, right?

No wonder!

No wonder Sarutobi lost his courage and the ruthlessness of being Hokage. It turned out that the problem lay with himself, with this cowardly battle!

"I understand."

"Hey!"

"But I don't have any other choice..."

Tobirama sighed and said helplessly.

Although he realized this huge drawback and mistake, if he had to choose again, he would still choose to stay behind and sacrifice himself.

Even if it causes Sarutobi and the others to have nightmares and lose their courage, it is better than dying in battle with Sarutobi and the others...

A cautious and cowardly Hokage is better than a vacant Hokage position!

Who said that the next generation of Konoha ninjas haven't grown up yet...

"No other choice? Don't you dare to stay with the six Sarutobi men and fight to the death with the Kinkaku troops?"

"That's too dangerous! I can't gamble. The Golden Horn troops are too strong..."

"You mean the Golden Horn troops that were almost wiped out by you alone?"

Xia You pointed at the entire battlefield, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

A seriously injured Tobirama alone could almost wipe out the Kinkaku Force; if the six Sarutobi men, who were at least elite jonin, were added, there was no way they would be wiped out.

There is even a great chance of turning defeat into victory!

"This……"

"Senju Tobirama, is it possible that you are the one who is truly timid?"

Xia You's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Tobirama's heart, shocking him.

"I..." Tobirama lowered his head and hesitated.

What really changed was not only Sarutobi decades later, but also himself!

If it were replaced by Tobirama from the Warring States Period.

Will they also negotiate peace and form an alliance with the Hidden Cloud Village?

Damn it!

He flew forward with his knife in hand and started chopping like the Thunder God.

When did you learn to compromise and become a dove?

When Konoha was founded?

At the first Five Kage Summit?

Or after the death of the eldest brother Hashirama?

I have really changed!
