"Is a score of 610 good or not?" Obito asked with a puzzled expression. Only when he looked around and saw the stunned faces of everyone did he realize that 610 was actually an impressive score. He had never imagined that Konoha under his rule would be so powerful.
Meanwhile, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, was nearly on the verge of tears from frustration. After receiving the Chat Group's reward, he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to researching the Sharingan, investing immense effort, yet Konoha's development remained stagnant.
Watching the top three positions being finalized, Tobirama could only accept his fate and wait quietly for the rewards to be announced. The Light Screen soon shifted again, revealing the fourth-place winner—the world of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
As for this fourth-place result, Tobirama's feelings were mixed—he couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed. On one hand, he was relieved he hadn't fallen too far behind; on the other, he was deeply disheartened at not making it into the top three.
When the Light Screen prompted whether to display national power, Tobirama looked embarrassed and initially wanted to refuse.
But before he could speak, the First Hokage, Hashirama, curiously leaned over. "What's wrong, Tobirama? Show it! I want to see how you've developed Konoha!"
Hearing Hashirama's words, Tobirama sighed helplessly and chose to display Konoha's national power. The Light Screen then unfolded, documenting all his actions over the past six months since returning from the Hokage Gathering and receiving the Chat Group's reward.
After experiencing the power of the Sharingan, Tobirama developed a strong curiosity about its evolution and began delving into the study of his own eyes. His starting point was the remains of deceased Uchiha clansmen.
In the second month, Tobirama conceived a new research direction and enlisted the help of his disciple, Kagami Uchiha. Together, they delved into the mysteries of the Sharingan.
By the third month, a strange reaction occurred between Tobirama's body and the Sharingan, leading to rapid evolution—his eyes advanced directly from One Tomoe to Two Tomoe. This deepened Tobirama's obsession with the power of the Sharingan, and he became immersed in research day and night, unable to tear himself away.
In the fifth month, Tobirama developed a strong fixation, yearning to cultivate his Sharingan to the level of Madara Uchiha. By the sixth month, he faintly sensed that his Sharingan was on the verge of another evolution.
Upon learning that Tobirama had devoted all his energy over the past six months to researching the Sharingan, everyone in the Chat Group fell silent. Even his elder brother, Hashirama, was momentarily speechless.
No one had expected Tobirama to spend half a year entirely on Sharingan research without achieving any substantial breakthroughs. While the power of the Sharingan was formidable, it hardly warranted such single-minded devotion from the Second Hokage.
People always envy what they do not possess. It seems these two brothers—one yearns for Madara, while the other is obsessed with Madara's eyes.
Aoki pondered silently to himself. He had intended to share his thoughts with everyone but held back just in time. As the Second Hokage of the Senju Clan, Tobirama didn't need to go to such lengths to study the Sharingan.
With his innate Sage Body, his physique would naturally react to the Sharingan, and he would undoubtedly awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, perhaps even reach higher realms. Yet Aoki ultimately chose to remain silent. He knew that if he revealed the truth, Tobirama would likely be too ashamed to face anyone.
After all, he had wasted half a year on futile efforts, missing a prime opportunity to break into the top three rankings.
"National Power Display concluded! Fourth place—the world of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!"
The Light Screen announced the results. As everyone expected, Konoha's national power had only increased by fifty points over the past six months—merely the level of normal development. Fortunately, the Land of Fire was rich in resources and had inherent advantages, leaving Konoha with plenty of room for improvement.
"Fifth place—the world of the Ninja Road, the Fifth Hokage Senju Tsunade."
"So it's my world."
Glasses Tsunade was surprised to see her own world displayed on the Light Screen.
In the main world, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade felt a vein twitch involuntarily at her temple. But as she looked at Glasses Tsunade and remembered that she was also herself, she didn't know whether to be angry or amused. In her world, she had at least resolved the Pain crisis and focused wholeheartedly on developing Konoha. Yet even so, her ranking hadn't improved much. Holding onto fifth place was already fortunate.
"Display the evaluation."
Before the Chat Group could ask, Ninja Road Tsunade spoke up first.
"With the Fourth Hokage Haruno Toshi fallen in battle, you, as the princess of Konoha's Senju Clan, successfully assumed the role of Konoha's Fifth Hokage. Under your leadership, Konoha entered a phase of steady development. However, a masked individual hunting ninjas with Kekkei Genkai recently appeared in the Ninja World. You dispatched Jiraiya to investigate. Not long ago, Jiraiya returned severely injured, bringing back a piece of news that made you realize Konoha was about to face a crisis."
Watching the plot of Ninja Road Tsunade's world unfold, Aoki couldn't help but pause in surprise. He hadn't expected the storyline to progress so quickly. But with the Chat Group's intervention now, he couldn't say for sure whether Naruto and Sakura would still cross over into this world. The thought left him both amused and exasperated.
This was the exclusive world of the Naruto movie Road to Ninja, where Haruno Sakura's father, Haruno Toshi, was Konoha's Fourth Hokage.
