All Hokage in The Chat Group

As the discussion continued, the display of World Strength progressed steadily.

[Ding! Rapid technological changes detected.]

[Technological progress has reached an advanced stage.]

[World Strength has been significantly enhanced!]

[Ding! Unique Development Path Unlocked: Adaptation of One Punch World Technology.]

Tobirama's vision extended beyond traditional shinobi strategies. Recognizing the potential of technology in the one-punch man world, he seamlessly integrated it into the Naruto world. Advanced infrastructure now spanned the villages, with innovations like smooth roadways had started the era of efficient transportation systems, and groundbreaking vehicles such as cars and motorbikes becoming part of everyday shinobi village life.

[Ding! Transportation Revolution: Improved connectivity between regions has enhanced trade, communication, and mobility by 70%.]

Villages no longer relied solely on messengers shinobi or birds for communication and goods delivery. Instead, high-speed transport and interconnected infrastructure allowed for unprecedented growth and prosperity.

Tobirama had also pioneered the development of automated industries and renewable energy systems, taking inspiration from the technological marvels of the One Punch World.

[Ding! Integration Complete: Ninjutsu and technology fused successfully.]

[Result: Tobirama's world enters a new era of modernization without compromising its shinobi roots.]

However, the inventory revealed another truth: Tobirama's world was far from achieving lasting peace. While he had managed to resolve significant challenges, including the threat posed by Uchiha Madara, there were still many potential enemies lurking in the shadows. Although they hadn't yet emerged in his world, it was only a matter of time before new adversaries appeared.

The Ōtsutsuki clan loomed on the horizon as a formidable force, and everyone was acutely aware that the world wouldn't remain peaceful for long. The question on everyone's mind was clear: when the time came to face such enemies, would even Tobirama find himself struggling?

Tobirama himself remained unbothered. His confidence stemmed from one simple fact: securing second place in the rankings had guaranteed him exceptional rewards. He understood that even if his current strength wasn't sufficient to handle such powerful foes, the rewards he would receive—combined with his existing capabilities—would ensure he was well-prepared.

Moreover, this time, there were missions from other worlds, offering the chance to earn points and gain even more valuable resources. Tobirama was well aware of these opportunities, and his calm demeanor reflected his confidence in the future.

As the display of Tobirama's World strength came to an end, the anticipation in the air was palpable. Everyone eagerly awaited the final evaluation of his world's achievements. How high would the score be?

The first-place holder had already amassed an impressive 2,900 points. While it was unlikely for Tobirama's score to surpass that, the hope was that it wouldn't fall too far behind.

At that moment, a voice echoed in everyone's ears, clear and commanding their attention.

[Ding! The current World Strength evaluation has been completed.]

[Second Hokage Tobirama's World - Power Demonstration Finalized.]

[Final World Strength Rating: 2,000 Points!]

The announcement left everyone stunned. This score was far beyond anyone's expectations, a remarkable achievement that solidified Tobirama's world as a powerhouse.

To reach the astounding height of 2,000 points was nothing short of astonishing. If this had been evaluated during a previous round, it would have undoubtedly claimed the top spot. Over the past six months, the world of Tobirama had improved by a staggering 300 points. Compared to the first-place world's 500-point leap, this progress was nothing to scoff at.

Hashirama couldn't contain his excitement as he leaned closer to Tobirama, his grin wide. "Tobirama, this is incredible! I mean, two thousand points? You've exceeded even my wildest expectations!"

Tsunade crossed her arms, a mixture of pride and disbelief on her face. "Uncle, I hate to admit it, but you've outdone yourself. Incorporating technology into the ninja world... who would've thought it would bring this kind of growth?"

Minato nodded thoughtfully, his usual calm demeanor slightly shaken. "It's not just about ninjutsu anymore. You've proven that innovation—when combined with the right leadership—can elevate a nation's strength in ways we never imagined."

Madara, standing off to the side with his arms crossed, let out a low chuckle. "Hmph. You've always been the pragmatic one, Tobirama. While others waste time on idealistic pursuits, you harness the power of progress." His smirk widened. "Though I hate to admit it, you've impressed me."

Tobirama's talent for technological advancements had proven to be a game-changer. It was as if he were a fish in the water or a tiger with wings—his aptitude for science and research made his world's progress seem almost effortless.

"Those without scientific talent can only watch and envy," Obito admitted with a mix of awe and resignation.

Meanwhile, Kakashi and others observed the announcement enviously, knowing full well that such a feat was unattainable for most ordinary people. Tobirama's unparalleled ability to combine innovation and strategy had elevated his world's strength to extraordinary levels, leaving everyone else in awe of his accomplishments.

Securing second place this time proved one undeniable fact: the world under Tobirama's leadership was far ahead of everyone else—except, of course, for the first place.

During the previous evaluation, many had already made predictions. Given the level of development in Tobirama's world, it was evident that with each selection, the scores would only climb higher. The gap between Tobirama's world and others would continue to widen, not due to exaggeration or speculation, but because of the relentless advancement of science and technology. Progress was inevitable, and it was accelerating.

Before the last evaluation, Tobirama's world hadn't even made it into the top three. Yet, in one leap, it surged into second place. This time, he secured that spot with even greater stability, demonstrating that his world's power could sustain such remarkable progress. It was undeniable proof of the strength he had cultivated.

Tobirama himself remained calm, as always. Outwardly, there were no signs of excitement, though a flicker of satisfaction lingered beneath the surface. He had worked tirelessly to achieve this level of success, and maintaining the second-place position was no small feat.

However, it was clear that his path was far more arduous than that of the other Hokages. While most spent their time managing paperwork, attending meetings, and handling political affairs, Tobirama went beyond these duties. He sacrificed much of his rest and personal time to focus on the research and development of both technology and ninjutsu.

In his world, Tobirama was not just a leader; he was its most brilliant innovator. His talents were unmatched, and many critical advancements could only be accomplished by him. This unparalleled expertise came at a cost—endless exhaustion and the constant drain on his stamina and energy.

Yet, over the past six months, Tobirama had refined his methods. He devised more efficient workflows, ensuring that many tasks could be automated or delegated as technological development progressed. This shift significantly reduced his burden compared to the previous cycle.

While the path had been grueling, Tobirama's efforts ensured his world thrived like never before. He might still bear the weight of responsibility, but now, it felt more manageable—proof of both his resilience and his genius.

At this moment, Hashirama eagerly rushed forward, asking Tobirama how he managed to govern the world so effectively.

Hashirama's eyes sparkled as an idea struck him like a bolt of lightning. He turned to Madara, his excitement palpable. "Madara! What if we shared the technology from our worlds with our Tobiramas? Think about it—if they had access to what Tobirama here has achieved, imagine how much they could improve our worlds too!"

Madara raised an eyebrow, skeptical but intrigued. "Sharing advanced technology with my Tobirama? Hmph. He's already insufferable enough with his ideas of progress. But... it's not a terrible idea." He smirked. "Perhaps he could finally make himself more useful than just lecturing me on efficiency."

Hashirama clapped his hands together with excitement, his smile wide. "Exactly! My Tobirama is brilliant, but he tends to get stuck in his ways sometimes. If I give him the tools from your world, he'll have a head start on something incredible! Imagine the progress we could make! Think of all the lives we could improve!"

Tobirama from the second-place world, who had been quietly observing the conversation, sighed deeply, clearly unconvinced. "You're all assuming that your Tobiramas are ready for these advancements. Technology needs time to develop, and I bet the version of me in your worlds is bogged down with governmental duties, not out inventing things. Are you sure they're truly ready for that kind of responsibility?"

Hashirama grinned, unphased by Tobirama's concerns. "Oh, my Tobirama is more than ready! Sure, he's not you, but he's close enough. Besides, I'll be there to guide him, and we'll work together. You know how well we work as a team."

Madara chuckled darkly, crossing his arms, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Supervise him, huh? That's a laugh. You, supervising him? But fine, I'll do the same with my Tobirama. If he has even a fraction of your ingenuity, this could turn out to be... interesting. Could even prove useful."

Tobirama rubbed his temples in frustration, a sigh escaping him. "Fine. I'll compile a list of the most impactful advancements from my world—transportation, infrastructure, and a few key inventions. But don't forget, these are tools, not shortcuts. The true strength of a world lies in its people, not just the technology they use."

Hashirama's grin never faltered. "I know, I know. But think about it—if we give them the means to advance, they'll take it to new heights. Imagine Tobirama's brilliance, plus all this technology. It'll be like nothing we've ever seen before!"

Madara raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful look crossing his face. "Hmm. I can't deny that the combination of our Tobiramas' genius with your world's tech could lead to something... monumental."

Tobirama simply shook his head, a mix of pride and exasperation in his eyes. "This better not turn into another one of your 'grand visions,' big brother," he muttered under his breath. "But fine, I'll help you make it happen. Let's see where this leads."

Tobirama sighed in exasperation. He knew his older brother all too well. Even if he explained everything in painstaking detail, Hashirama would never follow through on his advice. It wasn't that Hashirama lacked intelligence or ability—far from it. The problem lay in his nature.

Whether it was governing a nation or advancing technology, Hashirama preferred to leave such matters in the hands of others. He had no desire to handle them personally. This carefree approach made it clear to Tobirama that no matter how much he tried to teach, Hashirama would never truly adopt this method of development. It was a path only Tobirama could walk.

Meanwhile, Ryan observed Tobirama quietly, a mix of admiration and determination growing within him. The Hokage had so many exceptional talents, and Tobirama's progress was nothing short of astounding. Even though Ryan was ahead, for now, Tobirama's relentless drive and hard work felt almost insurmountable.

This time, Tobirama had improved by an impressive 300 points—a monumental feat achieved without shortcuts or external advantages. It was pure talent and sheer effort, an embodiment of dedication.

Ryan couldn't help but reflect on his position. He resolved not to let his current lead make him complacent or careless. The Hokages behind him weren't resting; they were continually improving and closing the gap.

[Ding! Rival Analysis Updated: Continuous efforts and rapid progress detected among competitors.]

Despite being ahead, Ryan knew that stagnation wasn't an option. The Hokages behind him, especially Tobirama, weren't just resting on their laurels—they were constantly innovating, evolving, and closing the gap.

The system's announcement ended with a simple yet profound statement:

[Continuous competition drives innovation and progress. Strength is earned through effort.]
