Chapter 143 - Chapter 109.2 : Rumors!!

Hmm, if Senju Hashirama's soul has already been absorbed into the mental network world by then, maybe they can have Hashirama himself fight Madara in the Imperial City for a PK. 

Madara might even get triggered to reclaim his Rinnegan and then drain himself in his final battle with Hashirama.

As for what happens after the final dance and someone dies...

Hehe, but there's still the mental network world, right? 

Just seamlessly pull Madara into the mental network world and have him passionately argue with Hashirama every day, shouting 'Hashirama!' and 'Madara!'. Just thinking about it sounds so fun.

Anyway, once the market opens up, given the situation with the ninja world's people, it could at least create a market of millions of players. 

The economic benefits it brings could allow major forces to join the feast and enjoy the ride.

Of course, all of this is just Uchiha Kai's personal understanding. It's an idea he came up with by combining what he learned in his past life with the characteristics of the ninja world. 

The actual results are still unknown; he can only do his best.

After all, don't expect Uchiha Kai, a former office worker and game planner, to truly have the wisdom and vision of someone beyond a normal person. 

He's just standing on the shoulders of giants, looking out at the ninja world.

Uchiha Kai never denies these flaws, and he's trying his best to fill them. He's doing everything he can within his limited resources to achieve what he wants to do.

Looking at things right now, Uchiha Kai is doing quite well.

At least, everything is heading in the right direction. As long as nothing crazy happens, like someone suddenly coming down from the sky, he'll continue getting stronger with time—and he'll bring those around him along for the ride.

If possible, Uchiha Kai wanted to survive in Konoha until the 'finale,' then team up with his upgraded good friends to beat up the Otsutsuki clan.

Meanwhile, in other parts of Konoha, the various ninja clans and factions received intelligence from Tsunade and Uchiha Kai. 

The intel revealed that they had left Orochimaru's place and headed to Uchiha Kai's home together.

Upon receiving this information, especially the part about "Tsunade possibly liking Uchiha Kai," everyone was stunned, looking completely incredulous.

"Ah, this..." In the Sarutobi clan's territory, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the intel sent by the Anbu, completely frozen.

After a long while, he snapped out of it, his expression showing deep conflict.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was genuinely happy that Tsunade had found someone she liked again, but the problem was that the person she chose was over a decade younger than her. 

If this were during the Warring States period, Tsunade could have been Uchiha Kai's mother.

Most importantly, Uchiha Kai now represented the Uchiha clan, and Tsunade represented the Senju clan. If these two truly got together, it would be a storm of thunder and fire, an explosion waiting to happen.

Politically and in terms of personal power, it would be a truly explosive situation.

What kind of storm would Konoha face with their union? 

The current political balance would surely be broken, possibly leading to massive turmoil in what is now a favorable situation.

This was something Sarutobi Hiruzen had to seriously consider, and it troubled him greatly.

Because, if that situation really happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Third Hokage, wouldn't be able to control it.

"If only Tobirama-sensei were still here... Or, should we make Tsunade the Fourth Hokage? But, what about Orochimaru? Would he accept that?"

Muttering to himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt even more troubled and helpless.

Before this, Orochimaru was the first choice for Fourth Hokage. 

Before Orochimaru allied with Danzo and joined the Root, he was Sarutobi Hiruzen's only candidate for the position, even though there were some ideological differences between them. 

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't see any problem with Orochimaru becoming the Fourth Hokage.

Now, history has been changed by Uchiha Kai. 

Although Orochimaru is currently obsessed with studying and research, he is still a true successor to the Hokage, the most favored by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the obvious choice for the Fourth Hokage.

Because of this, if Tsunade were to rise to power, it would become a big problem. 

As Orochimaru's teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that Orochimaru, who has been raised under his education, has long had an obsession with the Hokage position, seeing it as something he will eventually obtain.

If this obsession cannot be realized, Sarutobi Hiruzen shudders at the thought of how Orochimaru's mindset might shatter. He can't even imagine it, and it makes him think of his old friend, Shimura Danzo.

Will Orochimaru turn into someone like Danzo, completely obsessed?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly stopped thinking about it, and the worry on his face grew even more intense.

If this were a game world, the screen would probably show that Sarutobi Hiruzen had triggered the "Indecisive" passive skill, torn between his thoughts.

Meanwhile, his good friend, Shimura Danzo, had also received information about Tsunade and Uchiha Kai and, like Hiruzen, thought about the terrifying political power that would emerge if the two were to get together.

That power could directly influence the next Hokage's election, forcing the current Hokage to step down, representing the absolute authority of the two founding clans of Konoha.

The appearance of such power would become the greatest obstacle to Danzo's goal of becoming Hokage.

There's no doubt that Danzo could not allow this to happen. So, he immediately started to analyze why such an unexpected development had occurred.

Before this, Uchiha Kai and Tsunade had an average relationship, barely even friends. How could they suddenly be involved with each other? Was there some hidden secret behind it?

Or perhaps...

Was there something else going on?

Danzo thought deeply, and in his moment of insight, his brilliant mind suddenly came to a possibility.

"I understand! That despicable, inherently evil Uchiha brat! He's trying to use love to cure Tsunade's fear of blood!"
