At the Destination

After they walk through the portal, Kojiro hears a gasp from Yasaka and Kunou. He looks at Yasaka and Kunou, who look around in wonder before taking a deep breath. After calming down, Yasaka looks at him and says,

"Kojiro-kun, where are we?"

"We are in the naruto verse."

"Fish cake?"

"No, more like a maelstrom."

"I see…"

After saying that, Yasaka looks around in wonder even though they are inside a thick forest.

"Yasaka?"

"Huh?"

"Is something wrong?"

"No…. It's just an overwhelming experience for me in this world."

"Why?"

"The chakra around us is still pure and untainted or at least not as much as the one we have in our homeworld. Not only that, but the chakra around here is also thicker and more wild than the one we have, making it hard to control."

"I see."

They then slowly walk toward the main road to their location. Yesterday Kojiro already bought them a ticket and booked an inn for their stay in this world. As they follow the main road, they arrive in a massive wall surrounding the village or rather a town if it was in their world. As they arrive at the enormous gate, they then walk to the queue where the other people also want to go to Konohagakure.

When they arrive in front of a pair of ninjas, Kojiro gives his and Yasaka ID to the guard. A few seconds later, they get inside the village and go to the inn he already rented for their stay in Konoha.

After creating a bounded field around the room, Kojiro then begins to take out their bag from their pocket dimension. When all of that is done, Kojiro sits down on the floor where Yasaka already poured some tea that has been prepared by the inn owner.

"So Kojiro-kun, why you decide to take us here?"

"Well, I want you guys to feel what it's like to go to the other world that has some similarities but at the same time completely different from our world. This is what I call the Ninja World. The reason is that the main force of might in this world is Ninja. While there is another army around the world, however, the dominant force in this world is Ninja."

"But why? Ninja corps should not be the dominant force of a country. They are the special force that destroys the enemy backline without their leader noticing."

"Yes, that is true, but in this world, Ninja is more of an army rather than an assassin. Ninja, in this world, is more like an army of mercenaries. They will become mercenaries to anyone that pays a good amount of money, and they will become an army if their village gets threatened by outside forces."

"I see."

"Yes, also tomorrow is the day where this village is doing a tournament between their new batch of genin in the Chunin exam where they will fight against other competitors. I guess that by watching them, you two can learn one or two tricks from them."

"Is that all the reason you bring all here?"

"No, not really."

"Then?"

"This village has a few good food stalls and hot springs we can visit."

"Hmmm, I don't think the Hot Spring here can beat the Hot Spring in Kyoto."

"Maybe, but it was worth a try, right?"

"I guess you are right. I also want to go far away from all the paperwork waiting in my office."

"Good, because I choose this specific world because there will be no Invasion by another village."

"Wait for a second. What?"

"Ahh, I forgot to tell you that another village supposedly attacks this village. However, this specific world is an alternate version of the one that I say to you. The Invader has already been dealt with before they can attack the village."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, hundred percent sure."

"Very well."

He cannot say the real reason why Sunagakura and Otogakure cancel their invasion. He doesn't want to say it in front of the kid that Konohagakure already killed all the army Suna and Oto have silently. By using a Kaleidoscope, he can see the third Hokage himself is the one leading the night raid, killing almost all of them in a single swoop. The reason why Hokage knows about this is that they successfully capture Kabuto Yakushi and interrogate him using Yamanaka's unique technique. He even can see the interrogation where Kabuto's brain gets invaded by the head of the Yamanaka clan. After they get 'interrogated,' They leave the body of Kabuto that has already become a vegetable on the floor because he tries to prevent Inoichi Yamanaka from getting inside his head.

After killing the army, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to have a 'negotiation' with the temporary leader of Sunagakure, Baki. Because of that 'negotiation,' Sunagakure chose to stay in Konoha to continue the exam so the guest would not get suspicious about the participant disappearing from the tournament.

They then begin to explore Konohagakure, and the first place they visit is the famous Ichiraku Ramen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, and the current Hokage of Konohagakure. Currently, the old kage looks at the people in front of him. He still remembers the night raid where he led a few hundreds of Shinobi to attack the Suna camp not far away from the Konoha wall. As they got the location of the Suna army, Hiruzen immediately ordered the other clan to prepare a night raid. He even orders Danzo and his root shinobi to infiltrate the camp to make sure there is no trap for his army to walk in.

He still remembers Danzo's face when he ordered him and his root shinobi to do the scouting. Does Danzo think he never knew about his little pet project? While he knows Danzo's small army is still around, even though he already ordered him to disband the unit, Hiruzen still needs to keep an eye on Danzo. He has a feeling that the War Hawk has a dirty secret that he doesn't know.

"Dragon"

He looked at his Anbu Commander before saying.

"Is there anything suspicious that should I know?"

"No, sir. After the negotiation with Suna temporary Kage, Baki. There are no suspicious movements outside or even inside Konoha. Also, the Ichibi Jinchūriki, Gaara of the sand, has been taken care of by replacing the seal on his body with the stronger seal created by Jiraiya-sama."

"Good. Will the Jinchūriki of Ichibi become a problem in the future? I don't want Ichibi to get loose inside Konoha."

"No, Sir. After deconstructing the seal, Gaara of the Sand became calmer than before, and without the voice of his 'mother' as he put it whispering in his head for 24 hours a day, he can sleep now."

"Good, place Anbu bear or Tenzō as he has been moved from the Anbu division into Jonin. Also, how is the progress retrieving Tsunade?"

"The team already found her and ready to bring her home with her apprentice Shizune."

"Good, Dismiss"

After seeing the Anbu Commander disappear, Hiruzen looks at the Jonin Commander, Shikaku Nara, before saying.

"Shikaku, how the VIP?"

"They safely arrive at Konoha. However, I have some bad news or maybe good news from your point of view."

"What is it?"

"We have another VIP coming."

"Who?"

"Daimyo from Land of Wind"

"Why?"

"Our Daimyo is the one who invited them to the Chunin Exam."

"Then, we are lucky we solve the Suna problem before they arrive."

"Yes"

"Huuuuu, Increase the Patrol around Daimyo mansion. Also, place a squad of Anbu around, say to Dragon that he will be the one that personally guards the Daimyo and his family. I don't want the noble to have any excuse to cut our annual budget."

"Troublesome"

Seeing Shikaku Nara slowly walk outside his office, Hiruzen looks at his old friend and also rival, Shimura Danzo.

"Is there anything I should know?"

"Yes"

"What is it?"

"There is a family that comes inside Konoha…."

"Who?"

"The wife has blonde hair while the husband has light indigo hair…"

"What is so special about this family?"

"Well, Hiruzen, this family doesn't have any Chakra inside their body."

"....Continue"

"Well...."
