Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Path of the Ninja Tsunade

Haruno Toshi actually became the Fourth Hokage? However, the Chat Group did not mention the cause of his death, so his end must have been tragic.

As for why Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja world secured fifth place, it is because everything in this world is completely opposite to the norm. In this world, Minato and Kushina did not die, and they have a son named Menma. In terms of overall strength alone, this world is certainly stronger than the main world's Tsunade. And Uchiha Itachi is actually the leader of the Akatsuki.

Hinata in this world is far more powerful than in the original story, yet she still views Sakura as an insect. Naruto in this world, that is, Menma, is being manipulated by Obito. Obito extracts Nine-Tails Chakra using a simplified version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, without even triggering the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Sasuke has become a playboy who flits from flower to flower, yet his heart belongs only to Sakura; Neji has become a lecher, using his Byakugan to peep at Hinata; Ino remains gentle and delicate, often mediating conflicts between Shikamaru and Choji; and Shino is still the one overlooked by everyone.

"Don't worry. If you encounter a crisis you cannot handle, just press the rescue button in the Chat Group! All of us Hokage will rush to your aid immediately!" Aoki said.

Only then did Tsunade notice that there was indeed a mutual aid rescue button in the group. She nodded happily, her gaze toward Aoki now tinged with even more curiosity. She clearly sensed that Aoki's gaze held a different kind of emotion toward her.

If Aoki knew what Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja world was thinking, he would give her a thumbs up—that emotion was indeed unique. This bespectacled Tsunade spoke softly and gently, giving off a completely different feeling from the main world's Tsunade.

"Fifth Place: Fifth Hokage Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja world. National Power Display concluded! National Power Score: 480 points."

This score was slightly higher than that of Second Hokage Tobirama's world during the previous gathering.

The scores for each Hokage's world were all announced, leaving only the main world's Tsunade and Minato Namikaze's worlds yet to be revealed. Both wore embarrassed expressions. Having consistently ranked at the bottom for two consecutive gatherings, they no longer cared about the rankings. Since they were both at the bottom, it made no difference who was last or second to last.

Soon, the Light Screen continued to scroll, and their rankings were announced.

"Sixth Place: Fifth Hokage Tsunade's world from the main world."

Seeing this ranking, both remained calm; it didn't matter who was behind whom. As expected, the National Power Display began immediately.

"After the Hokage Gathering ended, you began studying the Sage Art cultivation method rewarded by the Chat Group. Just as you achieved minor success in Sage Art, Pain led an assault on Konoha."

In an instant, Konoha was engulfed in widespread warfare, with the Six Paths of Pain carrying out ruthless slaughter within the village.

"Knowing you were temporarily unable to contend with Pain, you immediately pressed the cross-domain rescue button. Hokage from various worlds gathered in Konoha, successfully intercepting Pain and resolving the village's crisis."

The images on the Light Screen continued to play, deeply shocking both Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja world and the Sixth Hokage Obito, who had just joined the Chat Group. They never imagined that the Chat Group possessed such a function, allowing the Hokages from different worlds to unite and assist one another. This realization strengthened their resolve: in the face of future crises that seemed insurmountable, relying solely on the aid function would not be enough—their own strength was the true foundation.

After Pain's crisis was resolved, Konoha embarked on its path of reconstruction. Over the next six months, the village developed comprehensively, achieving significant results. The Light Screen then displayed the comprehensive National Power Score for Tsunade's world in the main timeline.

"National Power Score: 465 points."

This score was only fifteen points lower than that of Glasses Tsunade's world, representing considerable progress. Compared to the previous gathering, it had improved by nearly a hundred points.

The last place naturally fell to Minato Namikaze.

"Seventh Place: The world of Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze."

Minato felt nothing but helplessness about this last-place ranking. It had taken him a full six months just to stabilize Konoha completely. As the Light Screen began to display the national power, the events of Minato's past six months unfolded.

"After the second gathering ended, you returned to the Hokage's Office, determined to eliminate the Third Hokage and Danzo. After learning the Sage Art cultivation method, you decided to fully master the still-unfamiliar Sage Art before taking action at the right moment."

"In the first month, you completely mastered Sage Art and could enter Sage Mode at will."

"In the second month, you successfully gathered evidence of the Third Hokage and Danzo's crimes and secretly contacted the clan leaders."

"In the third month, you successfully eliminated the Third Hokage and Danzo, wiping out both the Sarutobi and Shimura clans in one fell swoop. In the fourth month, you officially took over the governance of Konoha, winning the allegiance of all clans. In the fifth month, you gained complete control of Konoha, pushing the village's development with all your might, while also emulating Aoki's approach from a parallel world by proactively reaching out to the Uchiha Clan, hoping to fully integrate them into Konoha. In the sixth month, you were still working tirelessly toward this goal!"

Watching Minato's journey, everyone nodded in approval, convinced that by the next gathering, Konoha in Minato's world would undergo a qualitative leap.

"National Power Score: 420 points."

Compared to Minato's initial National Power Score of 333 points when he first joined the Chat Group, this score represented a significant improvement.

With the announcement of the final score, the National Power assessments for the worlds of the seven Hokages were complete. Everyone was filled with excitement, for what came next was the highly anticipated reward announcement.

"The highest National Power Score this time: 812 points. Unlocked reward pool level—first-level world reward pool."

Rewards will be announced shortly. Stay tuned.
