"Toad Sage? Boring. I just used Madara to get a triple kill against Senju Hashirama..."
Uchiha Madara held his game console, looking at the friend request from a player named Toad Sage, and directly rejected it.
"Wow! Lord Madara, in just a few short days, you've actually climbed to the top of the Ninja World ranking board, becoming the first Kage-level player since the server opened, all by mastering Uchiha Madara!"
White Zetsu flattered him from the side, looking at Uchiha Madara with excitement.
Uchiha Madara's lips curved into a smirk: "Hmph, mere child's play..."
Just a few days ago, he had first encountered this game, and since then, he had been hooked. With his understanding of Madara and the Rinnegan's auxiliary reactions, he successfully reached the top of the ranking board!
As for the name, he had picked it casually.
The Old Man in the Cave, quite fitting, isn't it?
"Alright, Black Zetsu, have you found the person I asked you to look for?"
Uchiha Madara slowly looked at Black Zetsu on the ground.
"Reporting to Lord Madara, not yet. Recently, the Uzumaki Clan was annihilated. I heard that some Uzumaki Clan members escaped, and I believe we can use this opportunity to search for them."
Black Zetsu replied respectfully.
Uchiha Madara closed his eyes slightly and nodded.
He realized that it was somewhat impossible for him to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan with his current body state.
He could only find another puppet and use Rinne Tensei to revive his full-powered self!
However, finding someone in the Ninja World capable of bearing the power of the Rinnegan was extremely rare....
.....
"It's a hit! It's a hit! Our game console has completely sold out in the Ninja World!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu said excitedly, holding the latest income report.
Actually, he didn't care how much money he made.
Hōzuki Gengetsu viewed money rather lightly.
What he truly cared about was emotional value.
Seeing the entire Ninja World playing the game he created naturally made him very happy.
"It certainly is a hit... Now, various countries have sent us lawyer letters..."
Wu said with a strained expression.
Because the game featured a large number of characters from other villages, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Senju Hashirama, Second Raikage, Second Kazekage, and so on...
Therefore, the high-ranking officials of various countries felt insulted and immediately sent letters.
"I've already bought the character copyrights."
Wu said in a deep voice.
After receiving those letters, he immediately used money to buy the copyrights of these characters. Although it was difficult, they still agreed under Iwagakure's relatively strong deterrent.
"Hehe, Wu, are you sure you don't want to play a round with me? The 'you' in this game is quite twisted!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu chuckled.
"No, playing this kind of game only makes me overheat. The more I get angry, the shorter my lifespan..."
Wu waved his hand.
He would still wait for Iwagakure to invent mobile phones.
After developing short video software, he would just scroll through short videos.
.....
At the same time,
The flames of the Second Ninja World War drew more and more small countries into the conflict.
The Uzumaki Clan was completely annihilated, and the remaining Uzumaki Clan members scattered in all directions.
The battle between Konoha and Sunagakure also began intensely in Hidden Rain Village.
Due to the geographical disadvantage of Hidden Rain Village,
As soon as the war began, it became a three-way battlefield for Konoha, Sunagakure, and Amegakure.
Chiyo's puppet army chose to hold their ground.
At this time, Jiraiya led five Konoha squads responsible for breaking through.
"Yosh! Today, I, Lord Jiraiya, shall break through Sunagakure's puppet formation!"
"Fire Release: Fire Ball!"
Jiraiya formed hand signs, intending to use fire to attack the puppets.
"Puppet Technique: Machine Light Shield Seal!"
Chiyo reacted quickly, her eyes narrowing slightly. Upon seeing the Konoha arrivals, Chiyo was slightly startled.
"Jiraiya?"
Chiyo couldn't help but call out Jiraiya's name.
Jiraiya, who was about to make his next move, was startled, wondering how this old woman knew him.
"Hey, old woman from Sunagakure, how do you know me?"
Jiraiya shouted.
Chiyo's face darkened.
Old... old woman?
"You are the most beautiful Sunagakure girl I, Jiraiya, have ever seen!"
Jiraiya's words from many years ago were still vivid in her memory.
She never expected that upon meeting again, he would call her an old woman...
"We met at Ōnoki's wedding. I am Chiyo!"
Chiyo quickly threw out several puppets, launching an assault on Jiraiya.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Ōnoki's wedding?"
Jiraiya dodged the attacks while pondering.
When he saw Chiyo's hair,
Jiraiya suddenly remembered the little loli who was older than him back then.
"It's you!?"
Jiraiya instantly turned to stone.
He couldn't believe that the little loli big sister from before had turned into... an old lady.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"
"How have you been all these years? Are you married?"
Jiraiya asked while attacking.
"Puppet Technique: Manipulating Attacking Blades!"
"Puppet Technique: Secret Skill: Poison Needles!"
"Idiot! My son is already married, and you, you perverted brat, still don't have a girlfriend?"
Chiyo coldly unleashed several killing moves.
"Emm, many girls are chasing this great me. I'll have one once the war ends!"
"Chiyo, for old times' sake, withdraw from here!"
"Ninja Art: Needle Jizō!"
"Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu!"
Jiraiya shouted while performing Ninjutsu.
"Puppet Technique: Secret Skill: Meat Grinder!"
The puppet transformed into a high-speed rotating scythe, shredding the incoming white hair!
"On the battlefield, there's no room for sentimentality. I heard you're Sarutobi's disciple. If I capture you, it will make Hiruzen Sarutobi back down, won't it?!"
Chiyo said coldly, her offensive not slowing down in the slightest.
....
Hidden Cloud Village
"Father, now that the war has fully erupted, why don't we seize the opportunity to join the war?"
Young A (who would later become the Fourth Raikage) asked the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage's aura was like a mountain. He sat on his chair, looking at the map: "We cannot participate in this war!"
"Why?"
Young A asked somewhat anxiously.
He had painstakingly trained his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and now just wanted to fight in a war.
"Idiot!"
The Third Raikage pointed his finger at Iwagakure.
"Iwagakure has not participated in the war; instead, they are accumulating strength!"
"Right now, Iwagakure just wants to see us join the war and exhaust our strength!"
The Third Raikage saw that Iwagakure wanted the other ninja villages to fight to the death, so he refused to participate, no matter what.
Even though Kumogakure's hawkish sentiment was already irrepressible,
He still forcefully prevented them from joining the war.
"Eh? Aren't our relations with Iwagakure quite good?"
"If Grandpa Mu hadn't helped us slay the Gold and Silver Brothers back then, we wouldn't have been able to avenge Nidaime(2nd)-sama."
Young A was a bit confused.
"The interests between nations are not decided by personal feelings!"
"You must remember, you cannot place personal emotions above national interests!"
Ay, reprimanded him sternly.
"Besides, the older generation has already passed away. Only Wu and Hōzuki Gengetsu are left. Once they die, the friendship of our fathers will also come to an end..."
"If we, Kumogakure, wish to dominate the Ninja World, we will eventually have a battle with Iwagakure."
Ay, stood up with his hands behind his back and said.
