Talent Entry Ninja of Konoha

The Kakashi in this world is much stronger than the Kakashi of the same age in Ryosuke's world.

With the teaching of his father, who is the Hokage, the 12 year old Kakashi is stronger than the average full-fledged Jōnin.

His mastery of the White Fang swordsmanship is already quite refined.

When he unleashed it at this moment, he instantly eliminated an Iwa ninja with a single strike.

But the Iwa ninja that Kakashi killed was merely a special Jōnin.

Among the other four Iwa ninjas still standing, three were full-fledged Jōnin, while the remaining one was just a Chūnin—the weakest of them all.

At this time, Obito and Rin were keeping him occupied. It looked like they would take care of him soon.

But time was running out!

Kakashi glanced at a figure that had appeared on the right and swiftly dodged to avoid it.

"No, we can't keep fighting. If we do, all three of us will die here!"

Analyzing the situation, Kakashi quickly swung his sword, forcing the three Iwa ninjas back temporarily before finishing off the Iwa Chūnin with a swift strike.

"Obito, Rin, let's go!" Kakashi shouted.

He pulled out two smoke bombs and smashed them to the ground.

Boom!

Thick smoke filled the air, obstructing the enemy's vision and giving them a chance to escape.

At the same time, Kakashi left a Shadow Clone behind—something that could at least hold off a Iwa Jōnin for a short while.

"Obito, hurry up and call for Minato-sensei's help!" Kakashi yelled while running.

"Ah~! Oh!!"

Obito snapped back to reality, quickly pulling out a specially crafted kunai and infusing it with chakra.

"Huh? Has it already begun?"

When Ryosuke arrived, he saw Kakashi and his team being pursued.

There were three Jōnin-level Iwa ninjas, and Kakashi was the only one on his team at that level.

Obito was merely a Chūnin, and Rin…

She was a medical ninja, with combat strength that barely matched a Genin.

Given the circumstances, Kakashi made the right decision—he chose to run.

And he sent a distress signal to their teacher, Namikaze Minato!

"Let's see… where is White Zetsu?"

Ryosuke scanned the area and soon detected a faint chakra signature underground.

"Found it!"

Previously, when he had used Kagura Mind Eye to scan the entire world, he couldn't locate Madara.

That meant the cave where Madara was hiding had some kind of sensory-blocking ability.

However, Ryosuke knew that Madara's hideout was near Kannabi Bridge.

So wherever his perception was being blocked—it had to be there.

At this moment, Ryosuke did not interfere with Kakashi and the others.

Instead, he followed from behind, watching them get pursued by the Iwa ninjas.

He even snapped a picture and sent it to the Hokage chat group.

[Hokage Chat Group]

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "Sakumo-senpai, your son is being chased down."

[First Hokage Uchiha Madara]: "Oh? So this is what the Sixth mentioned before—the world where another Madara trained this Obito as his successor?"

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "That's right. I also found where this world's Madara is hiding. I'll show you what the old man looks like later."

[First Hokage Senju Hashirama]: "Old Madara? Great! I want to see!!"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "...Brother, can you calm down? You're acting like Madara is your actual brother."

[First Hokage Senju Hashirama]: "Isn't he? The Senju and Uchiha are practically family!"

[Fourth Hokage Hatake Sakumo]: "What happened?! What's going on with Kakashi?"

[Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato]: "Don't worry, Sakumo-senpai. As long as Ryosuke is there, nothing will happen."

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "Relax, I'm watching. Your son has had it too easy growing up—it's time he gets a taste of reality."

[Fourth Hokage Hatake Sakumo]: "That's a relief! Thanks for looking out for him, Sixth!"

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "No problem, Sakumo-senpai. By the way, in your world, Madara is a woman, right?"

[First Hokage Uchiha Madara]: "?????"

[First Hokage Senju Hashirama]: "Madara… as a woman?!!!"

[Second Hokage Senju Tobirama]: "Brother!! Control yourself!!"

[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen]: "...This is getting out of hand."

[Fourth Hokage Hatake Sakumo]: "No, Madara is definitely a man!"

[Sixth Hokage Yagami Ryosuke]: "Oh, I see. That's a shame. I had a little hope, but I guess it's boring after all!"

[First Hokage Uchiha Madara]: "What the hell..."

In a parallel world

Inside the Hokage's office

A desk had just been split in half, and Anbu members were silently cleaning up the mess.

As they worked, they stole nervous glances at the figure standing by the window.

That terrifying presence…

"I don't know who made Lord Hokage so mad, but..."

"Angry Lord Hokage is terrifying!"

"His aura is suffocating! As expected of the legendary Ninja Demon!"

Madara, standing by the window, was taking deep breaths, trying to suppress his rage.

"Damn brat! If only I could defeat him..."

Madara clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulging.

But alas—

Because he couldn't defeat Ryosuke, he had to endure watching him freely travel between worlds, taunting him without consequence.

"What the hell is this nonsense about me being a woman?!"

"Does he seriously wish for me to be female?!"

"How dare he laugh at me like this?!"

The more Madara thought about it, the angrier he became.

His fists tightened further, emitting a loud creaking sound.

Back in the forest…

Ryosuke, after chatting in the Hokage group, logged off and continued to stay hidden.

After all, he had business to take care of.

Sure, he enjoyed watching the chaos while idly chatting in the group.

But since the other Hokages were busy, there wasn't much conversation going on.

Seeing no further entertainment, Ryosuke shifted his focus back to the current situation.

At this time

Following the pursuit of the three Iwa ninjas, Kakashi and the others, who had fled for a certain distance, were caught up.

The three could only fight to the death against the Iwa ninjas.

The result was that Kakashi desperately killed one Iwa ninja but was seriously injured himself.

Fortunately, he didn't lose his eye this time. Otherwise, he would have ended up with a Sharingan replacement.

But if Kakashi was in such a miserable state, Obito and Rin were even worse.

Both were already lying on the ground, having lost their ability to fight.

If nothing unexpected happened, the three of them were doomed.

But a certain someone knew that Madara wouldn't let Obito die here.

Not only Obito—Kakashi and Rin couldn't die either.

After all, they were key tools in his plan to push Obito into awakening his Mangekyō.

How could they die now?

"It's time to act."

A figure glanced in another direction.

Zetsu, who had been hiding underground all this time, also made his move.

However, he did not directly assist Kakashi and the others.

After all, doing so would expose himself!

So, he planned to create an "accident" instead—one that would help Kakashi and the others eliminate the remaining Iwa ninjas while ensuring Obito was gravely injured and near death.

"It's happening!"

A smirk appeared.

Next second—

Boom!!!

A nearby cliff suddenly trembled, followed by massive rocks tumbling down from above.

The two Iwa ninjas, who were about to finish off Kakashi's group, were caught off guard.

Seeing the landslide-like formation, they immediately used Earth release to defend.

But unfortunately for them, everything had been planned well in advance—there was no way they were escaping.

Then, after a violent rockslide, the two unfortunate Iwa ninjas were crushed by massive boulders.

Blood spurted from their mouths as they were pinned under the debris.

Kakashi, seizing the opportunity, gritted his teeth and struck again with Chidori, finishing off the two Iwa ninjas.

One Hit Double Kill!!

Before Kakashi and Rin could even react, a massive boulder—easily weighing over ten tons, came rolling straight toward Obito.

"Obito!!!"

Kakashi's voice tore through the air.

Rin screamed in terror.

At this moment!

Boom!

A figure suddenly appeared before the massive boulder.

With a casual punch, the enormous rock shattered into fine dust, scattering into the wind.

"Yo~! You guys are really in a mess."

A voice with a hint of amusement rang out.

Kakashi and Rin stared in shock at the person who had just saved Obito.

Obito, who had just glimpsed the afterlife, still wore a terrified expression, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

It wasn't until Rin ran over, calling his name, that he snapped out of his daze.

"I... I'm still alive?"

He touched his body, feeling the sting of his wounds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~! I'm still alive! I'm still alive!!"

Watching Obito laugh foolishly, Kakashi, who had been emotional just moments ago, rolled his eyes.

Sure enough, this guy was still the same idiot.

Kakashi turned away, exasperated, then curiously examined the stranger before them.

"Thank you for saving Obito, but… are you from the village?"

Kakashi first expressed his gratitude, then cautiously asked.

"Don't be nervous. I'm a guest of your father, and I happened to be nearby when I saw you three brats struggling, so I decided to help out." Ryosuke responded with a slight smile.

Father's guest?

Kakashi was momentarily taken aback.

And then, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Brat?

This person didn't look much older than them.

Despite his tall stature, his youthful face made it obvious—he was just a boy.

"Alright, your teacher will be here soon. I still have things to do, so I'm heading off."

With that, the figure vanished in an instant.

On his way, Ryosuke had already collected blood samples from Obito, Kakashi, and Rin.

At this moment, he had another task to accomplish.

There was an old man he needed to visit.

After all, what's the point of chatting with a bunch of 12 year old kids?

As he disappeared, Kakashi and the others were left staring in disbelief.

"That… was Minato-sensei's Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Obito turned to Kakashi, stunned.

Kakashi shook his head.

He wasn't sure if it was Flying Thunder God, but if it wasn't...

That would be even scarier.

After all, how terrifying must someone's raw speed be if it could be mistaken for space-time ninjutsu?

Thinking back to the moment when that person had shattered a boulder weighing over ten tons with a single punch, Kakashi felt a chill down his spine.

That guy's Taijutsu… was terrifying!

A few minutes later

A flash of yellow light appeared. Minato had arrived using Flying Thunder God.

He had hurried all the way but had still arrived too late.

However—

Seeing Kakashi, Obito, and Rin injured but alive, he exhaled in relief.

Luckily, nothing had happened.

Meanwhile

In a dimly lit cave

A certain figure smirked as he looked at an elderly Madara.

"Yo~! How's life treating you, Madara?"

Elderly Madara: "???"
