Everyone in the chat was completely speechless at this point.
[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama! Do you understand what that means? I feel like I didn't get it. Is my intelligence not enough now?]
[First Hokage Hashirama Senju: Madara! Don't doubt yourself. When it comes to brains, you're definitely fine.]
[Madara Uchiha: Then why don't I understand what "thanks to the overall power inflation of the series" means?]
[Izuna Uchiha: Brother! Brother! I know!]
[Madara Uchiha: Otōto! Since you know, hurry up and explain.]
[Second Hokage Tobirama Senju: Even I don't understand. I refuse to believe you do. @ Izuna Uchiha]
[Izuna Uchiha: It's obviously literal. "The whole series' power inflated" means that during the Fourth Great Ninja War, the power of all Hokage got a massive boost.]
[Izuna Uchiha: Kakashi is also a Sixth Hokage, so his combat power got heavily boosted as well.]
[Madara Uchiha: Sō ka! But why would all the Hokage get a huge power-up while everyone else doesn't?]
[Izuna Uchiha: That part I don't know. Maybe in the future, some Leaf ninja develops a jutsu that only works on Konoha's Hokage or something.]
[Madara Uchiha: That must be it. Otherwise it makes no sense.]
[Hashirama Senju: Doesn't sound wrong to me.]
[Second Hokage Tobirama Senju @ Izuna Uchiha: I usually look down on you, but this time you were actually smart.]
[Fourth Raikage A: Damn it! Why don't we have that kind of talent in our village? Then all our Raikage could get that kind of power boost too.]
[Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki: The Leaf is really too sneaky, using a jutsu like that.]
[Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi @ Tsunade: So, old woman, when the Five Kage joined forces to fight Madara, the reason I ended up playing support for you was because someone had used that kind of jutsu on you first, huh?]
[Tsunade: Childish! That was my own strength, thank you very much.]
[Mei Terumi: If I hadn't seen you get wrecked by that Kabuto trash because of your blood, and later stand there helplessly while Nagato destroyed Konoha, I might have believed you.]
[Tsunade: Even so, that just proves the genius belongs to someone from our village. It's not my fault your village doesn't have anyone like that.]
[Mei Terumi: Old woman, you really can only rely on others, huh.]
[Tsunade: Childish brat! Come on then, let's fight one-on-one right now. I'll show you whether I rely on others or my own strength!]
[Chiyo @ Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi: Our two villages are on good terms now. When your people develop that jutsu in the future, can you teach it to us too?]
[Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi: Sigh. I don't even know if I'll live to see that day.]
Hiruzen had already received a Form-Changing Pill.
His lifespan had increased tenfold.
So in terms of lifespan, he would definitely live long enough.
But—
Because of the scroll's appearance, too many variables had popped up.
If Madara, Hashirama, and the others were resurrected—
Whether Hiruzen would still be alive by then was another question entirely.
[Obito Uchiha @ Kakashi Hatake: See that? It's not my eye that's trash—you're trash. In the Fourth Great Ninja War your Lightning Blade and Sharingan didn't have chakra issues at all, did they?]
[Kakashi Hatake: Maybe that all-Hokage buff jutsu is just really powerful.]
Hidden Leaf Village, Chunin Exam Hall.
Orochimaru was absolutely thrilled.
He never imagined—
That in the future, someone would develop such a ridiculous jutsu.
If he could learn it, or even just get his hands on it to study—
He might be able to build something even more outrageous on top of it.
While everyone was secretly guessing who in the future could develop that sort of technique—
The footage moved forward again.
[Kakashi's first opponents in the Fourth Great Ninja War were once again Zabuza and the resurrected Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.]
[After their last fight, Kakashi and Zabuza had developed a mutual respect. The bond between Zabuza and Haku proved that ninjas are still human and can't truly become emotionless tools. Yet now, they were being controlled by Edo Tensei.]
[Before completely losing his will to the Edo Tensei, Zabuza asked Kakashi to stop him no matter the cost and let him die as a human being.]
[This time, Kakashi wasn't fighting alone. He was commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces' Third Division, with many comrades at his side. When Zabuza used the Hidden Mist Jutsu, a Yamanaka sensory ninja located him, then used Mind-Body Switch to bring himself to Zabuza's position so Kakashi could strike with a Lightning Blade from behind.]
[But once again, Haku skillfully blocked the blow.]
[This time, Zabuza's blade fell without a shred of hesitation.]
[Stripped of emotion and reduced to a killing tool, he cut down even Haku along with everything else.]
[Feeling his own chest wound, Kakashi was furious. He could not tolerate the way the caster of Edo Tensei trampled on the dead.]
[The way Zabuza and Haku died for one another was something he had to protect.]
[Kakashi used Lightning Blade once more to pierce Zabuza's body, then lifted the Executioner's Blade and pointed it at the remaining Seven Ninja Swordsmen, boldly declaring: "This time, the Copy Ninja Kakashi who's copied over a thousand jutsu is really going all out!"]
[Before long, Kakashi had taken down the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, then headed for the front lines together with Gai.]
Group chat.
[Zabuza @ Kakashi Hatake: …Thanks.]
[Haku @ Kakashi Hatake: Thank you.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Kakashi-sensei, you looked so cool holding that Executioner's Blade! Can you teach me how to swing a giant sword too?]
[Kakashi Hatake: I didn't expect my angry face to look that cool.]
[Madara Uchiha: Otōto… something's wrong. It's not just future Hokage Kakashi whose strength skyrocketed. Looks like everyone got much stronger.]
[Hashirama Senju: You're right, Madara. Look at how pathetic Zabuza was in his first fight with Kakashi—by the Fourth War he's at least barely presentable.]
[Zabuza: Lord Hashirama, please… stop whipping my corpse.]
[Tobirama Senju: Plus, at that point Kakashi clearly wasn't the Sixth Hokage yet. Even if such a jutsu exists, it shouldn't apply to him then. @ Izuna Uchiha No wonder I always look down on you—you were wrong again.]
[Izuna Uchiha: Fine, I admit it. I was wrong. But the fact you believed me means you're not that smart either, @ Second Hokage.]
[Hashirama Senju: I believed you too! Does that make me an idiot?]
[Madara Uchiha: Otōto, what exactly are you implying?]
[Fourth Raikage A: So that means I'm an idiot too?]
[Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki: The more I think about how I just believed that nonsense, the more I feel like a fool.]
[Chiyo: Looks like I really am getting old. My mind's not what it used to be.]
[...]
Everyone else in the chat was just speechless.
One moment they were heatedly speculating—
What kind of jutsu it was, what kind of genius could have created such a cheat-like technique.
And the next moment, they found out all of that was wrong?
The footage continued.
What came next made everyone's eyes go wide.
Especially Obito, watching from the Akatsuki base in the Land of Rain.
The footage continued.
[Kakashi and Might Guy headed for the front lines and joined Naruto, Killer Bee, and the masked man—Obito—in battle.]
[By this point, things had already become a battle of gods.]
[Even so, Kakashi was still extremely active.]
[It wasn't just the "infinite Kamui" energized by Naruto, the walking power bank—more importantly, it was his mind.]
[With three lovable idiots—Naruto, Killer Bee, and Gai—everything depended on Kakashi, the strategist.]
[In the fight, he noticed the scratch that appeared on the masked man's face when he used Kamui to warp away a kunai.]
[From that, he deduced that the enemy's space–time jutsu was connected to his own Kamui space—]
[And thus cracked the key to Obito's intangibility.]
...
Group chat.
[Kushina Uzumaki: Honey, look! It's Naruto!]
Kushina excitedly shook Minato's arm.
Minato smiled and nodded. "I see him."
Kushina: "That mode Naruto's in… that's Nine-Tails Mode, right? But it looks different from the Nine-Tails Mode we saw before."
Minato: "Before, Naruto was drawing on the Nine-Tails' chakra by pulling at its hatred through anger."
"But now, in this footage, it's clearly the Nine-Tails voluntarily lending him chakra."
Kushina's face filled with disbelief. "Honey, you mean…"
Minato nodded. "That's right. It looks like, in the future, Naruto and the Nine-Tails cooperate."
Kushina: "So that means, later on Naruto can freely use the Nine-Tails' chakra without harming his body or soul, right?"
