All Hokage in The Chat Group

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was easily decimated, yet Ryan couldn't stop thinking about his abilities. Among them, one stood out—a power to shrink anything non-living. The ability, called "Sukunahikona," fascinated Ryan. It wasn't just the act of shrinking; Isshiki also had another remarkable skill: " Daikokuten," This ability allowed him to store the objects he had shrunken in an alternate timeless dimension, which he could summon at full size at any given time.

When used together with Sukunahikona, the potential for destruction was way off the charts. Isshiki could effectively create a limitless storage system akin to an inventory, with infinite capacity. The added functionality made it even more impressive: the space within Daikokuten could freeze time. Anything stored inside would remain original, free from decay or deterioration from time and nature.

Ryan saw incredible utility in these abilities, not only in combat but also in everyday life. Imagine exploring distant worlds, collecting rare artifacts, books, and wealth, and storing them effortlessly without cumbersome sealing scrolls or tedious rituals. The possibilities were endless. Shrink it with Sukunahikona, store it with Daikokuten, and move on—it was that simple.

But the real genius? With Sukunahikona, Ryan could shrink ingredients, avoiding the need for bulky storage spaces. Fresh produce, rare spices, even prepared dishes—all compacted into tiny, easy-to-store portions. The best part? Once stored in Daikokuten's timeless space, they'd never spoil. No more leftover ramen going bad. The dishes would stay as fresh as the moment they were made, always ready to serve, even if you waited a hundred years.

Ryan couldn't help but imagine the chaos if an Akimichi ever found out about these abilities. With the power to shrink anything, he could practically hear Choji's voice in his head: "Wait, you mean I could store entire mountains of snacks and not have to worry about running out of calories mid-battle?!"

He could already picture it—Choji with Daikokuten would have filled bags of snacks, an endless supply of potato chips, deep-fried snacks, and, of course, meat. And then, in the middle of a mission, Choji would probably pull out a bag of chips, munching contentedly, "What, I am hungry? I'm just storing energy to continue our fight."

The real problem would be when they realized that with Sukunahikona, Ryan could shrink entire banquet spreads and keep them perfectly fresh forever. Imagine Choji, practically vibrating with excitement, grabbing a tiny portion of grilled meat, only to realize he could eat it all and still have more waiting in an endless supply.

"This is what I was meant for!" Choji would shout, possibly growing to the size of a mountain just from eating it all. "Why didn't anyone tell me about this sooner?!"

The more Ryan thought about it, the more determined he became. These abilities could revolutionize how he approached his goals. Whether in battle or during his adventures across the heavens, this power would be invaluable. His mind was made up.

At the next Hokage meeting, he would visit the mall and use his accumulated points to acquire these abilities. With his substantial balance of points, the exchange wouldn't be a challenge. This was the next step in his evolution, and he couldn't wait to see the wonders these powers would unlock.

With any luck, Ryan thought, there might be a reward or lottery soon. That would make acquiring these two abilities even easier. The thought left him feeling deeply satisfied. Finally, the matter was completely resolved.

Ryan called Minato and the others over to clean up the area and restore everything to its original state. With that, peace returned to Ryan's world. For now.

This era marked a time of unprecedented technological progress. Rapid advancements propelled their world into a stage of development that was beyond imagination. Every day brought forth innovations, each more impressive than the last. The First Hokage Hashirama's world was no exception.

Previously, Uchiha Madara, manipulated by Black Zetsu, had begun capturing tailed beasts. At first, he succeeded effortlessly, securing two of them. However, this set off a chain of events. Hashirama and his allies quickly mobilized in response.

Ryan had warned them about the implications of collecting all the tailed beasts. Doing so would trigger something far more dangerous: the awakening of the Ten-Tails. This would grant its Jinchruki unimaginable power, posing a dire threat to the entire world. Hashirama, though immensely strong and unafraid for himself, understood the gravity of the situation. After all, his strength had grown to extraordinary levels, enhanced further by countless rewards and achievements.

Yet, even with his unmatched power, Hashirama remained cautious. He knew better than anyone the kind of chaos Uchiha Madara who was Jinchruki of ten tails could unleash. He had seen it in Naruto's world memories.

The impact on himself might have been manageable, but the effect on Konoha and all its subsidiary states was far too severe. Hashirama didn't want ordinary people to suffer or die. He had worked tirelessly to create a thriving world, and seeing large parts of it destroyed in an instant would be a tragedy he couldn't accept.

Determined to protect the kingdom he had built, Hashirama decided to take the initiative. Meanwhile, on the other side, Uchiha Madara also became aware of Hashirama's aggressive stance. Upon witnessing Hashirama's newfound strength against the other nations, he hesitated to make a move.

Previously, when Hashirama was busy dealing with other enemies, the new taijutsu or Golden Buddha Transformation he displayed had been relayed to Madara by Black Zetsu. The news left Madara utterly stunned. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Madara vividly remembered the countless battles he had fought against Hashirama. Their strength had always been comparable, nearly equal, like two sides of the same coin. Yet now, the abilities Hashirama demonstrated were entirely different and unfamiliar to him—but had enough power to utterly crush him.

Although Madara couldn't understand how Hashirama had achieved this transformation, he knew better than to act recklessly. He was no longer in his prime, and facing Hashirama now carried a real risk of defeat, or worse—death. If that happened, all his ideals and ambitions would be for nothing.

Madara was no fool. He recognized that caution was his best option. For now, he would bide his time and look for a way to tip the scales back in his favor. It was futile to take action in his current situation, so Uchiha Madara decided to disappear for a while. He retreated into hiding, choosing to live as a recluse underground. For now, he didn't dare act.

Madara's inaction, however, threw Black Zetsu into a panic. Uchiha Madara was a critical piece in Black Zetsu's plan to resurrect his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. If Madara did nothing, how would their goals ever be achieved?

Desperate to reignite Madara's ambition, Black Zetsu began stirring the pot.

"Madara-sama!" he said slyly. "Are you afraid of Hashirama?"

Madara, visibly irritated, scoffed. "Hmph! What idiocy are you spouting? How could I, Uchiha Madara, be afraid of him?"

Sensing an opportunity, Black Zetsu pressed further. "If you're not afraid, then why haven't you made any plans to defeat him since hearing so much information about Konoha and Hashirama?"

Madara wasn't naive; he could see through Black Zetsu's manipulations. However, his pride wouldn't allow him to appear hesitant. After a moment of thought, he replied with a smirk, "What do you know? I'm simply taking a break. It's time to give the younger kid a chance."

Feigning nonchalance, Madara continued, "I have no intention of catching the tailed beasts myself. Let my successor handle it. He's capable and needs practical experience to grow into a competent ninja."

Black Zetsu was momentarily at a loss for words. He couldn't help but internally roll his eyes—Successor? In this world's timeline, Obito wasn't even born yet!

Still, they had prepared for such scenarios. Using the genetic material available to them, White Zetsu had created a new host imbued with powerful abilities. They had even named this creation "Tobi," either as a coincidence or perhaps a stroke of inspiration. Regardless, it was eerily fitting.

This "Tobi" didn't possess a Sharingan like the one from other worlds, but he did wield the power of Wood Style. If Madara refused to act, Black Zetsu had no choice but to send White Zetsu—Tobi—to carry out their plans.

White Zetsu was dispatched to begin collecting the tailed beasts. Thanks to his training, he was already proficient in combat. His Wood Style abilities provided him with several key advantages. He could bind his opponents, absorb their chakra, and subdue tailed beasts with relative ease.

Confident in his abilities, Tobi the White Zetsu, heir of the Shura of the Shinobi world set out on his mission.

What he didn't anticipate, however, was that Hashirama had already taken notice. The moment Tobi made his move, Hashirama was ready to strike.
