Naruto Time Control

Konoha.

At the entrance of the village.

Several of the Konoha ninja imprisoned Sakumo in a barrier ninjutsu, while Tsunade stood outside the barrier and told Sakumo what happened after his death.

After learning from Tsunade that Kakashi had graduated early from the academy after his death and became Chuunin at the age of six, Sakumo felt a strong sense of guilt.

He understood that it was definitely because of his death.

"It wasn't easy for him."

Sakumo sighed heavily.

These words were not referring to Kakashi, but to Yeruashi, who graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of nine.

Yeruashi, just like Kakashi, had to be under a lot of pressure after his death, but he kept it to himself and quietly continued the academy, taking care of Kakashi and helping him out of a difficult psychological state.

Also.

Hearing that Yeruashi had become a disciple of Orochimaru, and Kakashi a disciple of Minato, the future Fourth Hokage, Sakumo once again sighed deeply, regretting that his sons were involved in the fight for the position of Hokage of Konoha at such a young age.

This was followed by a description of Yeruashi's first appearance on the battlefield in the Grass Country, when he killed a large number of Iwagakure ninja at the age of nine, fully displaying his incredible talent.

Then.

What followed was a battle on the border of the Wind Country, the assassination of Chiyo and becoming famous in the ninja world!

Sakumo was surprised to learn that Chiyo had died at the hands of Yeruashi. In the past he defeated Chiyo on the battlefield, but Chiyo managed to escape and save her life, unexpectedly died at the hands of his son.

Of course, in addition to the surprise, there was also a strong shock, because even Sakumo himself at such a young age was far from being a ninja of Chiyo's level.

At the age of eleven, he had barely reached the level of a Jounin.

But then Yeruashi's story became even more amazing. First, the assassination of the Third Raikage, and then he invaded Amegakure alone, which resulted in the assassination of Hanzo of the Salamander and the destruction of all of Amegakure!

As Sakumo listened to the story, he began to lose touch with reality.

Because she could still understand the beginning of Tsunade's story, but ever since she killed the Third Raikage and crushed all of Amegakure alone, the story gradually began to become somewhat unreal.

How could her son have become so strong!

Then, Yeruashi disappeared for two years, and after returning, he became even stronger again. He single-handedly invaded Sunagakure and inflicted massive damage on them, even severely wounding the Fourth Kazekage and then killing the Seven Mist Swordsmen.

At this point, Yeruashi was already considered the strongest ninja in the world!

Yeruashi then became Hokage!

He became the Fifth Hokage at the age of fifteen!

Not only did he not get in trouble for being too young, but the ninja of Konoha even consider him to be the strongest Hokage ever!

Having assumed the position of Hokage, he immediately began to take decisive and tough measures, which allowed Konoha to recover from the effects of the war in just two years and even begin to develop rapidly.

During these two years, as the Fifth Hokage, Yeruashi managed to gain the respect and reverence of almost all the ninja in Konoha - even the big clans stopped fighting each other and became fully integrated into Konoha!

And more recently, Konoha has taken a decisive step, beginning to unite the entire ninja world!

By the time Tsunade's story reached this point, Sakumo had already completely lost touch with reality, AND began to wonder if her son really did all this!!!

Senju Hashirama put an end to the Era of the Fighting Kingdoms, initiating the Era of the Five Great Ninja Villages, but now Yeruashi put an end to this era, initiating the Era of the Unified Ninja World.

To Sakumo's eyes, it seemed something incredibly distant and unreal.

"...So much has happened."

Tsunade sighed, took a sip of water and said, "Speaking of bad things, I think the only problem is that this jerk is too popular, even my disciple is chasing after him..."

"Tsunade-sama!!!"

Shizune with reddened cheeks shouted indignantly at Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at her, smiled and said, "Heh, so you don't like Yeruashi? Then why are you experimenting with all kinds of medicines every day, developing a love potion... ah..."

At this point, Shizune blushed even more and suddenly brought her hands to Tsunade's mouth.

Shizune felt that if Tsunade said anything else, she would have to leave Konoha in disgrace and never return.

But the few ninja holding the barrier were indifferent and did not cast strange looks at Shizune.

Now, the people of Konoha, on the other hand, would be surprised to learn that a young girl has no feelings for the Fifth Hokage.

But it is too difficult to predict who will finally succeed.

When Shizune gagged Tsunade, interrupting her words, two white lights suddenly flashed.

The first enveloped Sakumo in the barrier and the second came out of Tsunade's body.

"This is..."

The ninja holding the barrier were stunned.

Tsunade was also surprised, but quickly realized what was happening, so she said, "Has the Edo Tensei dispersed?"

"... It seems so."

Sakumo, still in shock and bewilderment, finally came to her senses, feeling that her body was rapidly falling apart.

Tsunade nodded, looked at the ninja holding the barrier and said, "You don't need to support him anymore."

"Yes."

The ninjas nodded and immediately removed the barrier.

Sakumo's soul left the body formed by the Edo Tensei and ascended into the sky.

Rising into the sky, he looked at Konoha and saw the Hokage Rock, on which was carved the face of his son.

At this moment, the many different emotions that had previously erupted in his heart were replaced by peace and contentment.

"Tsunade, tell Yeruashi for me that he must become a worthy leader of the new era..."

"And don't let him get married too soon..."

With that, Sakumo's soul disappeared into the sky.

It wasn't his strength or his abilities that bothered her, but Yeruashi's emotional side, because listening to Tsunade's words, one can assume that his popularity among girls is unbelievable.

Ah, maybe some girls don't like Yeruashi, but they just want to have him?

Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to talk to her son alone.

"..."

Hearing the words of Sakumo's disappearance, Tsunade involuntarily sighed, thinking that if Yeruashi just climbed up to the roof of the Hokage building for a couple of minutes, a large number of young people would immediately gather below.

Sometimes he thought that it wouldn't stop even after their wedding....

At the same time, Yeruashi's Fuuinjutsu that sealed the First Hokage disappeared, and Hashirama's soul also flew into the sky.

"It seems that the Edo Tensei has dissipated. The Fifth Hokage did this? Truly a great ninja..."

"Tsuna, take care."

Hashirama smiled and waved to Tsunade.

Tsunade raised her head and waved at the disappearing Hashirama with a smile.

This happened not only in Konoha.

In Iwagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure, the souls of the dead rose into the sky, emitting a soft white glow, and disappeared one by one, returning to the heavens.
