The Skyscreen continued.
After an unknown amount of time, Sasuke woke up from his coma. However, when he got up and walked out the door, the outside world had changed drastically. The originally deserted small island was now crowded with people.
At this time, the camera shifted to a blonde woman standing on high ground, inspecting the numerous ninjas coming and going.
Above her head, the Skyscreen specially labeled her identity with text.
**[Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Fifth Hokage Tsunade]**
Standing beside her were several other people, and their identities were also labeled with text above their heads by the Skyscreen.
**[Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki]**
**[Fourth Raikage A]**
**[Fifth Mizukage Terumī Mei]**
**[Fifth Kazekage Gaara]**
"This... why is it Terumī Mei? Why is it the Fifth? ...Did something happen to me?!"
The Fourth Mizukage Yagura, who had not yet been controlled by Obito and was determined to abolish the Blood Mist policy, was the first to lose his composure. He couldn't figure out why Tsuchikage Ōnoki and Raikage A from the same era were on the Skyscreen, but their Kirigakure had directly changed leaders? Did he die young?
Thinking of this, he was so anxious that he almost suffocated himself. After a while, he calmed down and sighed.
"Forget it, think positively. Maybe I retired successfully and early... But the plan to abolish the Blood Mist policy needs to be accelerated, just in case..."
...
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Who is this Gaara?!"
Another person who lost his composure just like Yagura was the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. This one had an even more violent temper, smashing the ornaments in the Kazekage's office to pieces.
Rasa had reasons to be angry. The process of him becoming the Kazekage was already extremely difficult. He had finally defeated that woman Pakura to become the Kazekage, only to be forced to bow down to Konoha as a younger brother due to defeat in war, becoming the first humiliating Kazekage of Sunagakure to bow and scrape to another village.
However, he had gotten himself into a mess for the sake of becoming Kazekage and for Sunagakure, and hadn't even warmed his seat yet when the Skyscreen told him his days as Kazekage were numbered. Soon, someone named Gaara would replace him as the Fifth Kazekage. How could he stand this?
For a moment, Rasa even suspected that he was pushed out by that old hag Chiyo to take the blame. Once all the shit was pinned on his head, she would kick him away and put a clean Kazekage in his place.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Rasa roared furiously at the ninjas waiting outside:
"Someone! Go find this Gaara immediately! Once found, lock him in prison right away!!!"
...
Some people lost control of their emotions because the matter concerned them, while others broke down even though the matter didn't concern them directly.
This refers to the Third Hokage.
"How can it be little Tsuna? Where is Minato? Where did Minato go? Even if Minato isn't the Hokage, it shouldn't be her turn!"
The pipe in the Third Hokage's hand fell to the ground with a clatter. At this moment, he was truly panicked.
In his life, the Third Hokage was most proud of two things: first, shouldering the burden of Konoha when the Second Hokage died and not letting Konoha perish in his hands; second, choosing Namikaze Minato as his excellent successor.
Now that the Skyscreen suddenly said Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, he couldn't understand. Minato was young and healthy; why pass the position to the Fifth? And even if passing the position, shouldn't it be passed to a younger person? Why pass it back to an older generation?!
In an instant, a bad thought arose in the Third Hokage's heart.
"Could it be that Minato... No, Minato knows the Flying Thunder God Technique; who can hurt him?"
The Third Hokage shook his head to throw out the bad thoughts and then watched the Skyscreen seriously.
...
Others in the Ninja World watching the Skyscreen were also in an uproar because of the newly appeared characters. Of course, they were more interested in Tsunade's title of **[Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces]**. Combined with the Kage of other villages standing beside Tsunade, it wasn't hard for them to guess what this title was for and its significance.
Many people had already deduced that the Skyscreen was playing images from the future. Now they were somewhat curious about what exactly happened in the future that required the Five Great Ninja Villages to unite.
At this time, the people in the Ninja World watching the Skyscreen didn't know how far into the future the Skyscreen was playing. Tsunade and Ōnoki hardly changed in appearance. They didn't know Gaara, Sasuke, or Sakura, and people who knew Terumī Mei were limited to Kirigakure.
They could only speculate on the timeline based on the Fourth Raikage, whose appearance had changed the most.
...
The Skyscreen continued.
Seeing Sasuke awake, Tsunade quickly called him over to comfort him with concern.
"You worked hard on this mission. Leave the troop deployment to us. You should hurry and rest; your strength will be needed for the upcoming great battle."
Tsunade patted Sasuke on the shoulder and said.
Sasuke nodded. However, at this moment, the Raikage squeezed over roughly from the side and asked Sasuke, "Uchiha Sasuke, did you really not enter the Sage of Six Paths' cave dwelling?"
Hearing this, Sasuke shook his head and explained, "There is a powerful guardian outside the Sage of Six Paths' cave dwelling. Only those who possess the power of All Creation, that is, the Rinnegan, are allowed to pass. I am absolutely no match for it."
Gaara crossed his arms and said, "It seems only *that person* can enter."
The Third Tsuchikage floated over and said, "Then we must defeat him here. If he gets the secret treasures in the Sage's cave, the Ninja World is finished."
Sasuke asked, "How long until he arrives?"
Tsunade shook her head and said, "I guess he already knows the Sage's cave is in the sea, but he doesn't know the exact location yet. Now that we've made such a big commotion here, he will surely get the news and come here soon."
"The decisive battle is about to start. There isn't much time left for us to deploy."
Everyone looked heavy upon hearing this.
Just then, a ninja walked over and reported to Tsunade: "Report, Commander-in-Chief. The 100,000 ninjas have finished regrouping. Please instruct!"
"Very good. Order them to stand by and conserve their strength to face the war in their best condition!"
The ninja didn't leave after receiving the order but stood there hesitantly.
Tsunade asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
"Um, Hokage-sama, I just wanted to ask, do you think we can really win this war?" the ninja asked very anxiously.
"Of course! We have gathered all the ninjas in the Ninja World to form an unprecedented allied force of 100,000. Everyone has put aside old grudges and united together. There is absolutely no possibility of losing. Victory will definitely belong to us!"
Tsunade answered with a firm expression. Her words also infected the ninja in front of her, sweeping away the anxiety in his heart, and his eyes became equally firm.
"Yes! Victory will definitely belong to us!"
After he left, Tsunade withdrew her imposing manner.
Ōnoki sighed from the side.
"Morale is very low."
