The Fourth Shinobi World War, which belonged to this timeline, ended rather abruptly due to the sudden intervention of three overpowered individuals and the fact that the mastermind behind it was preoccupied with their own affairs.
On the very day that all the Konoha ninjas who had rushed to the border returned to the village with the spoils of war, Tsunade, who had been kept at it by Jiraiya for a long time, finally returned to Konoha, albeit reluctantly.
However, because of Lin Nian's existence, Tsunade did not immediately take office as the Fifth Hokage upon her return. Instead, she concealed herself and went directly to Lin Nian's house. There, she saw two of Konoha's greatest contributors, along with four girls, taking care of a large group of children who seemed to have some mental issues.
"You people, who are you?"
Seeing through Tsunade's disguise at a glance, he nodded to Naruto Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka to confirm that there were no problems.
With a glance, Tsunade silently followed Lin Nian to a spot not far away.
"It's been a long time, Lady Tsunade. It must have been five years, right?"
"Indeed, and I never expected that you little guys would grow to this level in just five years."
He let out a long sigh, concealing certain emotions in his eyes, but for some reason, those little ones stirred up his emotions again.
After noticing Tsunade's expression, Lin Nian looked directly into Tsunade's eyes and said, word by word.
"Five years ago, those little brats from the Uchiha clan—to be honest, I don't know why I had the guts back then. But at least I saved a few of them. Although they can only come out openly now, I guess I did a good deed, right?"
"Is it fair and square?" she thought to herself. Anyone with eyes could see that there was an 80% chance that Tsunade had been killed by those three old men while Orochimaru was instigating the Sand Village to attack Konoha. After a long silence, she didn't say anything.
After looking at Lin Nian for a long time with complicated emotions, he finally spoke seriously.
"You have the blood of a thousand hands flowing in your veins."
"I know! That's why I won't allow this village, which holds the hopes of the entire Senju clan, to become the kind of place I despise the most. I hope the Fifth Hokage can bring it back on track."
After saying that, he gave Tsunade a warm smile, then turned around and continued to take care of the group of children who had almost no memories left and had to learn everything from scratch.
Tsunade sighed softly, then deactivated her transformation jutsu and headed away towards the Hokage Building.
What kind of benefits Tsunade would offer to become the Fifth Hokage, and what she would gain, were no longer within Lin Nian's consideration. After all, he had already obtained what was rightfully his.
As for other things? It can only be said that his vision has never been limited to Konoha Village.
Because of the significant increase in his own strength, the quality of his Blue Silver Emperor was directly improved. As the quality of his martial soul improved, the vitality and spread speed of Blue Silver Grass in this world also expanded rapidly.
Since he last mobilized the Blue Silver Network, across the entire continent of the five major countries and numerous smaller countries, except for the desert-filled Land of Wind, Blue Silver Grass has already completed its ecological integration into all other countries and ecosystems.
However, the only countries on the entire continent that have truly and completely accepted Blue Silver Grass—a special plant with incredibly tenacious vitality, extremely fast reproduction speed, and the ability to improve the soil to a certain extent—are the Land of Fire, which has long been established there, and the Land of Wind, which has been importing Blue Silver Grass from elsewhere for cultivation.
However, it can only be said that the environment in the Land of Wind is too harsh. The only places where they can truly take root are a few scattered places with water sources, which makes Lin Nian feel helpless.
After all, the Land of Wind has an abundance of treasures. Not to mention the chakra metals and various placer gold and iron ores that can be found almost anywhere underground due to the thousands of years of the Divine Tree's roots, the dragon vein where the Divine Tree is rooted is a true treasure involving the realm of time and space.
If he weren't a little worried that his quick attempt to seize the Dragon Vein might lead to him being tricked by the Otsutsuki, who might never return from the future, he would have personally taken on the role of the Dragon Vein Jinchuriki.
Anyway, he had already secretly designed the appearance of his body when he activated the Dragon Vein Chakra Mode over the years. Coupled with the colored contact lenses that he had already upgraded to an advanced stage, he could directly become that man who combined the colored contact lens era and the tattoo era.
Of course, these are just random, strange thoughts that pop into my head when I'm bored.
Jiraiya was a true wanderer, especially after he confirmed that Tsunade would succeed him as the Fifth Hokage and that Konoha possessed the strength to crush any other ninja village. His heart, which had just settled down, began to pound wildly again.
Although it's hard to understand how someone who is respected by all the strong in the ninja world could completely ruin their life by wandering and running around because of a giant toad's ramblings.
However, you can't bring yourself to hate these innocent-hearted people, provided you're a man. After all, no girl would like a pervert who flirts with other women at will.
Even if someone were to suddenly have a brain fart and want to find a pervert, it could only be someone who specifically targets girls! But Jiraiya? He's amazing! He can be a pervert to almost any woman!
However, the prodigal son, who was about to embark on his journey again, eventually remembered the disciple who took the blame for him and assumed the position of the Fourth Hokage, as well as an orphan who felt he got along very well with him and almost became friends with him at first sight.
They accompanied Naruto Uzumaki for a while once again, until the two watched Tsunade stand atop the Hokage Building and raise her voice to become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, before they parted ways again.
During this time, Sasuke Uchiha, who was silently transforming in that vibrant secret room, was finally reborn and came to Lin Nian's side with a thought.
"You're going a bit too far in your anti-ancestral movement!"
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke, whose height had soared from 1.56 meters to 1.73 meters after this ordeal.
Then I looked at his long hair, which had turned completely gray, his pale skin, and the two small horns that grew out of his very prominent forehead.
Honestly, if he wasn't absolutely certain that Sasuke Uchiha's soul hadn't been replaced, he would have suspected that the kid he'd raised had been possessed by some Otsutsuki.
However, after looking at Sasuke Uchiha's height, which is already far beyond the original manga's height, and considering that Sakura Haruno and Karin Uzumaki are 1.65 meters and 1.626 meters tall respectively, I suddenly felt that the height difference between the three of them when they finally grow up would be quite adorable.
After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki's height was already over two meters, just by comparing her to Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Uchiha Sasuke definitely has the potential to surpass Kaguya Otsutsuki, after all, he is only a 12-year-old boy.
Suddenly sensing a wave of malice, Naruto Uzumaki sneezed twice after putting down the two Uchiha children.
