All Hokage in The Chat Group

The Road to Ninja World under Tsunade's leadership vastly differs from the one most Hokage envisioned. Development has been rapid, with significant advances taking place across all sectors.

A key turning point came after the Mianma invasion. In response, Tsunade reached out to the other Hokages, rallying their support and launching a decisive war. Other shinobi villages were overwhelmed individually, and the entire continent was soon unified under a single rule. This unified structure set the stage for the next phase of progress.

Tsunade's unique approach involved learning from other worlds, using their rapid technological advancements as inspiration. One of her smartest moves was consulting with Ryan, whose help smoothed the path for technology to flourish in her world. Thanks to his tips, she soon reached an impressive scientific and technological development level.

After returning from the world of One Punch Man, Tsunade wasted no time in mobilizing her people, aiming to further update and enhance their technology.

As a result, Konoha Village has expanded like never before. With the unification of the entire Ninja World, Konoha has transformed into a sprawling metropolis, now home to not only Konoha's shinobi but a much larger, diverse population.

Ninjas from other nations, like the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, were also present. Only the most elite were selected for this mission. They had all gathered here to foster development.

The centerpiece of this endeavor was a massive, domed building dedicated to research and development. Scientists in white coats bustled in and out, bringing a sense of energy to the area.

Meanwhile, back at the Hokage's office, Tsunade returned from the vibrant ceremony's closing. She took a deep breath, savoring the familiar feeling of home, and sighed, stretching her arms.

"Phew! Finally back!" she muttered to herself. "Sure, the other worlds are interesting, but there's nothing like my own world! Even the air feels like home."

Her brief moment of relaxation faded the instant her gaze landed on the pile of documents stacked on her desk. Her face fell, a hint of bitterness creeping in.

"So troublesome!" she groaned. "Back to paperwork already!? Kakashi!"

After calling out, Kakashi soon entered the room, carrying yet another stack of documents. He was one of the most elite jōnin in Konoha and throughout the world—a real power within the Anbu and many other departments.

"Hokage-sama," Kakashi greeted with his usual cool demeanor, nodding respectfully as he approached.

Tsunade's eyebrow twitched. "Let me guess. More paperwork?"

"This is the latest file," Kakashi replied, setting the documents on the already-crowded desk. "It requires your immediate review."

Tsunade felt a headache brewing just from the sight. She waved her hand dismissively. "Just set it down for now! I'll get to it… eventually."

Shoving the paperwork aside, Tsunade retrieved several intricately marked scrolls from her bag and handed them to Kakashi. "Take these to the research center and have them start work immediately. This is advanced technology I brought back from the other worlds—highly confidential."

At Tsunade's words, Kakashi's eyes lit up. This wasn't the first time she'd returned with groundbreaking research materials. Each time, the technology in their world had advanced significantly, and Kakashi was more than familiar with the routine by now. Just one look at these scrolls, and he knew that yet another leap forward was coming for their world.

"Understood, Lady Hokage! I'll take care of it right away!"

Kakashi quickly gathered the scrolls and, with a flicker of movement, disappeared, using his teleportation jutsu. There was no time to waste with something this important.

Left alone with the stack of documents, Tsunade let out a weary sigh.

Tsunade glanced back at the mountain of paperwork, her shoulders slumping. She leaned back in her chair with a long, drawn-out sigh. "Being Hokage was never supposed to be this exhausting. Maybe I should've stayed in that other world a bit longer…"

She reached for the nearest file, her eyes narrowing as she begrudgingly opened it. "One day, I'm going to invent a jutsu that handles paperwork for me. That's real Hokage innovation."

With that, she began her tedious work, all the while dreaming of a break she knew would never come.

At that moment, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, stepped through the portal. The vibrant, interdimensional door slowly closed behind her, leaving a faint shimmer in the air. A scowl crossed her face.

"Seriously…" she muttered, her irritation clear. "I end up with a consolation prize? How did that even happen? So frustrating!"

The disappointment of her recent draw lingered, and Tsunade couldn't shake the feeling. She was still stewing over the lackluster reward she had won, which felt like a blow to her pride. Not getting the best prize was one thing, but this consolation prize felt like an insult to her luck—and her skill as a gambler.

Sighing heavily, she sat down at her desk and pulled out a scroll, unrolling it with a mix of frustration and anticipation.

"Well," she grumbled, "at least I used my points to get something halfway decent. Finally, a chance to improve my strength after such a long time!"

The scroll contained an item she had purchased using accumulated points in the marketplace. After traveling across three different worlds, she had managed to save nearly 500,000 points. Although it wasn't as much as Ryan's total, it was still impressive.

Thinking back, Tsunade couldn't have imagined reaching a point balance this high—but here she was, and despite the annoying prize, she was determined to make the most of it.

She felt quite satisfied with her points balance. It didn't matter how many points others had—what she'd earned was more than enough for her needs.

This time, Tsunade had made a big purchase from the marketplace. She'd spent a hefty 150,000 points to acquire a special item. Opening the scroll, she watched as a puff of white smoke appeared, revealing lines of densely packed text.

At the top, in bold characters, it read: Armament Haki

That's right! Tsunade had redeemed her points for the knowledge of Armament Haki, a powerful ability from the world of pirates. After much deliberation, she decided this would be the most useful ability to enhance her fighting skills.

Armament Haki was an incredible technique. When used, it coats the body in a dark, hardened layer, dramatically increasing both attack and defense power. At its peak, it could strengthen defenses to the point where even swords couldn't penetrate it. The offensive boost was equally impressive, enabling much more powerful strikes.

This scroll didn't just contain the basics—it also included advanced applications and evolutions of Armament Haki, all carefully documented. Tsunade had redeemed every bit of knowledge available.

During her time in the Pirate World, she had come across many valuable items, treasures, and even Devil Fruits. Yet, what intrigued her most was the potential of Armament Haki. Now, with this scroll in hand, she was ready to master it.
