Time rewinds to five days ago, in another world.
"Don't know the password?"
Hatake Kakashi held his short sword in one hand, bracing it in front of him, while gesturing with the other behind him for his companions to leave.
Facing a mysterious person with unfathomable strength, he couldn't afford to take care of his deadweight teammates.
[Kannabi Bridge, Kakashi without the Sharingan?]
Senju Tobirama was taken aback. He remembered the Konoha Village records he had read. The Third Shinobi World War, the war with the Hidden Stone Village, ended at Kannabi Bridge, and it was where the Sharingan Hatake Kakashi, a Hokage candidate, was born.
How could he have missed such historical information?
"Are you Uchiha Obito?" He shifted his gaze to the Uchiha brat beside him, asking with a serious tone.
He didn't even need the other party to answer. With his perception, through the changes in Chakra and micro-expressions, he easily gleaned the truth from the idiotic expression of this foolish Uchiha brat.
[I've returned to the past? Time travel? Genjutsu? Or what?]
The Naruto world doesn't have the concept of 'parallel universes'. Senju Tobirama couldn't possibly break free from the world's constraints and immediately understand what was happening. His mind felt like a jumbled mess.
What should he do, having inexplicably returned to the past?
[Return to Konoha first, find Sarutobi. This is troublesome, that Jutsu seems to require Lin Ke's Chakra, but the Lin Ke brat won't be born for several years.]
Senju Tobirama's thoughts halted. He reached out and gently tapped the forehead of the Konoha Village female ninja beside him, dispelling the Genjutsu.
"Rin!"
Uchiha Obito, seeing this, thought the person was going to kill the prisoner and rushed forward, shouting.
"Thud!"
Having burst forth with too much Chakra, he merely tripped and began performing a face-plant in front of the other three.
"Kakashi, Obito."
Nohara Rin's lifeless eyes trembled before she cleared her vision, taking in the sight of Hatake Kakashi, who was not far away, warily holding his sword, and then seeing Uchiha Obito, whose face was covered in dirt, looking over with concern.
[That's great...]
The thought flashed through Uchiha Obito's mind, and then his body lightened as he was lifted up.
"Someone's coming from outside, about a kilometer away, should be Hidden Stone Village ninjas." Senju Tobirama tossed the deadweight over, turning his head to say, "Can you move?"
He was using language to make the other party think about their own problems, rather than independently considering why an unfamiliar brat could command them.
As a Hokage, he was too skilled at this set of rhetoric and tactics.
"N-no problem." Nohara Rin was still a bit dazed, not knowing what had happened. Looking at the Hidden Stone Village ninjas who had fallen to the ground dead, and listening to the brat who seemed to be a companion beside her, she obediently followed behind and walked out.
Her personality was gentle, kind, dedicated, and self-sacrificing, which translates to indecisive and soft. On the battlefield, when a companion was crushed by a rock, instead of thinking of a way to save them or making a decision immediately, she knelt beside them and cried: [Why did this happen?].
It wasn't so much about being harsh on a little girl, but for a ninja on the battlefield, she was a solid drag on her two companions.
Hatake Kakashi caught Uchiha Obito, hesitated for a moment, and without saying anything, followed them out of the cave.
So bright.
Nohara Rin raised her hand to shield her eyes, finally realizing who had been directing her earlier. She curiously looked over, finding the child pressing two fingers to the ground, eyes closed, and saying, "A total of six ninja, two six hundred meters away at ten o'clock, one about five hundred meters away at eight o'clock, and three seven hundred meters away at two o'clock."
"I'll take care of the three at the back. Kakashi, the other three are up to you, no problem, right?"
Hatake Kakashi didn't say a word.
Senju Tobirama glanced out of the corner of his eye at Obito and Kakashi, who were subtly standing together, protecting the seemingly naive Medical Ninja on either side, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
They were a bit weak, especially the Uchiha kid.
But they were indeed good kids.
Thinking this, he disappeared from the spot in a Body Flicker Technique. Let alone dealing with three, even dealing with all six enemies was not difficult for him. With Lin Ke's technique boosting him, his physical abilities had caught up somewhat. Relying on his past combat experience and Ninjutsu skills, even with less Chakra, killing some Jonin was not a problem.
His extreme control over Chakra and his invincible perception alone were enough to keep his strength at the level of an elite Jonin. Only someone at the Kage level could exploit his weaknesses of poor physical abilities and insufficient Chakra.
In a surprise attack, with the mobility provided by the Flying Thunder God Technique, even Sarutobi's old smoker, Asuma, would be killed by him.
He simply wanted to see what level Kakashi was at now, which was why he left three opponents behind. — "Pfft~" X2 [The sound of blood and Kunai piercing temples!]
Hidden Stone Village Special Jonin Sumashi's mind flashed with thoughts, and his heart sank. To be able to instantly kill his two subordinates without him noticing, such an opponent was right beside him. Coming to support might be a trap! Thinking this, he made a hand seal with one hand, speeding up the refining and control of Chakra, wanting to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape the dangerous enemy nearby.
"Whoosh!" X2 Two almost simultaneous sounds rang out, one was the sound of the Body Flicker Technique, and the other was the sound of an attack cutting through the air.
[What?!]
Sumashi, who had just used the Body Flicker Technique to leave his original location, discovered that the enemy had actually appeared out of nowhere at his landing point, launching an attack in advance. At this point, he couldn't react at all.
It's over.
"Thud!"
Senju Tobirama's small face was full of ease. The level of ninja now was really declining. Whether it was experience or strength, everything was inferior to the era of the Warring States Period.
Of course, this was a good thing. Only peace could nurture ninja who were not so focused on killing.
[Heh, peace, peace, how am I becoming more and more like my brother?]
Senju Tobirama's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. He carried Sumashi, who was obviously the leader and had been knocked unconscious, eliminated the smell and sound, and leaped through the trees, starting to watch Hatake Kakashi's battle.
"Chī~ Boom!"
[Smart, knowing the information in advance and setting up an Exploding Tag trap on the path of a single enemy.]
In the smoke-filled area, the blasted, bloody corpse landed. Two Hidden Stone Village ninja on the other side of the forest heard the sound and cautiously approached. After observing for a few seconds, one of them got closer.
The bloody corpse suddenly burst into action, and the short knife under its body slashed a beam of light, cutting open the nearest enemy.
[Transformation Jutsu simulating the enemy's corpse, a little trick on the battlefield, but unfortunately...]
The enemy that was cut open turned into mud. They were all ninja who had fought on the battlefield, so how could victory be so easily determined?
[What are you going to do next?] Senju Tobirama watched with interest.
