In truth, even if it were only Aoki alone, Toneri would be no match for him at all.
Moreover, this time, ten other Hokage had joined in.
With so many powerful figures attacking together, before Toneri could even understand what was happening, he had already been captured by the group.
Naruto, meanwhile, stood to the side, at a complete loss.
Ever since the dozen or so Hokage had appeared together, he had no idea what to do. His brain had completely shut down!
This was hardly his fault.
Suddenly faced with so many unimaginable beings, with no one having had the chance to explain anything to him, anyone would have been overwhelmed.
Not to mention that among this lineup, there were actually two Kakashis and two Tsunades?
There was even his own father, Minato, as well as the First Hokage, Hashirama, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama.
Such an extravagant lineup—he had only seen something like this during the Ninja World War with the Edo Tensei.
However, the people before him clearly weren't in an Edo Tensei state.
What was going on?
Seeing Naruto's utterly bewildered expression, Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage, stepped forward.
"Let's go, Naruto!"
"The crisis has been resolved. We can return to the Leaf now."
"As for all those questions in your mind... don't worry, I'll explain everything to you later!"
Thus, the Toneri crisis ended easily.
The Hokage quickly returned to the Leaf.
Hashirama wanted to hurry back to his own world immediately, eager to continue conquering other countries without delay!
The stimulation Aoki had given him was far too intense, making him determined to catch up on progress!
Even if he couldn't be the first to unify the entire Ninja World, being the second wouldn't be too bad!
Tobirama, however, was different.
He was unusually unhurried about returning to his own world and instead took the initiative to discuss with the other Hokage.
Tobirama: "Have you noticed?"
"The technology in the Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world is incredibly advanced!"
"It feels very necessary to study it!"
Aside from Hashirama, who didn't care, everyone else immediately responded.
Aoki: "That's true!"
"I specifically looked into how other countries in their world resisted the meteor."
"The Land of Lightning's Chakra Weapons can even launch attacks from beyond Earth."
"This technology would be extremely useful anywhere."
The others all chimed in agreement.
The Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, even specially opened communications for them, allowing everyone to see just how far the Land of Lightning's technological development had progressed.
Third Hokage Kakashi: "Exactly! Compared to this, my world feels like ancient times."
"Only a few years have passed, how can the gap be so huge?"
Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato: "I feel the same way!"
"Speaking of which, the technological level in my world is even more backward."
"Completely lagging behind, it's really worrying!"
First Hokage Madara Uchiha: "What are you talking about? My world is still in the era of the First Great Ninja War. Who can compare to me in terms of backwardness?"
The Hokages were all discussing matters of technology.
Previously, everyone had been quite busy.
They hadn't had the time to pay special attention to such things.
This time, coming to the Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world,
they were truly stimulated by the different technological levels.
There were significant gaps in many aspects.
If they had only seen this in videos,
they wouldn't have felt it as strongly.
Now, everyone had personally experienced it
and seen what kind of impact such large-scale Chakra Weapons could cause.
Many thoughts arose in everyone's minds.
Aoki himself also made a firm decision.
Since his world was already unified,
and Madara Uchiha had been eliminated by him, unable to cause any more trouble,
then the next very important matter had been decided.
That was to have his subordinates begin developing technology!
To raise the technological level.
Aoki remembered that the Land of Lightning should have the highest level of development.
Coincidentally, he had several people from the Land of Lightning by his side.
Once he returned, he would ask them about it.
At this moment, Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja also spoke up.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'm under attack here."
"I need to go deal with it quickly!"
Hashirama was startled upon hearing this.
"What happened to my granddaughter? Do you need our help?"
Tobirama, a man of few words, also said,
"I'm already prepared here and can set off at any time!"
"Since we've already come out once,"
"going to your side is just a small matter."
The other Hokages also expressed their willingness to help.
If Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja needed assistance,
they could teleport directly
and lend a hand immediately.
Aoki, however, thought of something.
He asked, "Is it about Menma?"
He calculated the time.
If nothing unexpected happened, the crisis Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja was facing should be around the time of Menma's invasion.
Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja replied, "That's right!"
"But I've fought that guy before. He's no match for me!"
"There's no need to worry."
The other Hokages still felt somewhat concerned after hearing Tsunade's words.
Aoki nodded: "I feel the same way."
"Your strength is already more than enough."
"Dealing with that guy called Menma won't be a problem!"
He was very clear in his heart.
Tsunade from the Path of the Ninja's enhancements, even among so many Hokages, were among the most extensive.
The Marine Six Styles, the Slippery Devil Fruit, and the Soul-Slaying Sword Shiroyuki.
With all these combined,
along with Tsunade's own formidable strength,
it was enough to elevate her to an incredibly exaggerated level.
Dealing with a single Menma was no trouble at all!
Since both Aoki and Tsunade herself said so,
the other Hokages no longer insisted.
They each returned to their own worlds.
Returning to his own world, he began to take action.
Path of the Ninja: Tsunade's World.
In this world, Menma was originally Naruto Uzumaki under special circumstances.
From the very beginning, he became a Rogue Ninja, always wearing a mask while committing evil deeds.
The outside world was unaware of his true identity.
And his Tailed Beast was also obtained with Obito's help.
He had killed many ninjas from other villages.
Even Jiraiya of this world was severely injured by him and ultimately died.
Previously, Menma came to the Leaf, intending to target Naruto.
Unexpectedly, Hokage Tsunade's strength far exceeded his imagination, nearly defeating him outright.
Left with no choice, Menma could only retreat hastily.
After returning to his base, he realized his current strength.
Was no match for the Leaf at this time!
He did not stubbornly focus on improving his own abilities.
Instead, he took a different approach.
He went to persuade the Kage of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water to join him in attacking the Leaf.
In this world, the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water already had intentions of forming an alliance.
With Menma's persuasion, the three parties moved together!
