All Hokage in The Chat Group

Ryan understood this well: pure-blooded Saiyans have fiery tempers and a wild, impulsive nature—almost beastlike at times, driven by a thirst for strength and the thrill of combat. This makes their entire race appear ruthless. In contrast, half-blood Saiyans tend to be calm, compassionate, and peace-loving, challenging many assumptions about their heritage.

While pure-blooded Saiyans may seem stronger on the surface, their aggression and love of battle don't necessarily give them an edge. Half-blooded Saiyans, with their balanced temperaments and adaptable spirits, often have greater growth potential and can achieve transformations, like the legendary Super Saiyan form, more easily.

Reflecting on this, Ryan felt his personality hadn't changed much, suggesting that his mixed heritage had stabilized his Saiyan nature. Another possibility was that the system had refined the Saiyan blood, erasing its downsides. Either way, he recognized only benefits in his situation.

He could feel his power steadily increasing, and a thought crossed his mind: At this rate, I'll be able to achieve Super Saiyan sooner than expected. With his rapid progress, Ryan was deeply satisfied, knowing he had both Saiyan blood and the advantage of a limit enhancer.

Ryan no longer needed to train actively to grow stronger—his power was increasing on its own. This was a huge advantage, as it freed up his time for other pursuits, like advancing the world's technology.

With this in mind, he called Minato in. He arrived promptly.

"Hokage-sama! What do you need?"

Ryan handed him a scroll. "Take this to the researchers at the institute. This will help accelerate our technological progress."

Minato nodded, immediately using his space-time ninjutsu to take the scroll and depart.

Inside the scroll, Ryan had included designs and prototypes of advanced machinery. He knew that the technology of his world was already progressing rapidly, nearing the advancements seen in the world of One Punch Man. What was lacking, however, were the highest-end developments.

During his time in the One Punch Man world, he collaborated with top scientists to acquire some of the most cutting-edge blueprints and even physical prototypes. Now, by giving these to the researchers, he knew they would be able to analyze and replicate the technology, pushing this world to a new level of advancement.

Ryan was immensely satisfied with the potential this would bring—not just for his power, but for the world itself. And there was still more he could do.

Among the scrolls Ryan had brought back were designs for highly advanced combat equipment, including models of Genos' body and Metal Knight's armor. Although Ryan's strength far surpassed the need for such gear, these items would still be immensely useful for Chūnin and Genin.

Meanwhile, in the world of the First Hokage, Hashirama had returned from his recent mission without any groundbreaking results. His mission across the other world had not gone as planned, as he hadn't reached the top three and the technological resources he collected were of limited value. Nonetheless, he handed over the technological schematics he had gathered to Konoha's technology department, stepping back from the process himself. Science and technology were not his strengths, nor were they his primary interests. He left the research to those who could make the most of it.

However, his younger brother, Tobirama, was captivated by the new technological items. His interest bordered on obsession—Tobirama barely ate or slept, dedicating all his time to studying and experimenting with the new technology. Under his guidance, the technological development of their world was accelerating at an impressive rate.

Watching Tobirama dive into research, Hashirama couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion. "It's so strange," he muttered to himself. "Why does every version of my brother across all worlds have such a passion for this kind of thing? It doesn't make any sense."

In the Seventh Hokage Naruto world, Naruto returned and immediately focused on accelerating technological development. His world had progressed quite smoothly, trailing only slightly behind Ryan's world in terms of technological advancements. Given the natural timeline of Naruto's world, this was to be expected. The Naruto universe had evolved for much longer than others, with at least a decade more development than the Third Generation world, and significantly more than the First and Second Generations. This additional time gave Naruto's world a natural edge in advancement.

Now, with Naruto bringing back even more advanced technologies, the researchers were astonished and eagerly began pushing forward to further boost the world's technological capabilities.

Meanwhile, in the Third Hokage world, Kakashi had also experienced a remarkable leap in power in just a few days. His chakra limitations were no longer an issue, and he had gained an incredibly potent upgrade: the Kamui Sharingan. Under his strengthened abilities, the Kamui Sharingan's special technique, Kamui Shuriken, had become extraordinarily powerful. Though appearing as giant shurikens, they held devastating potential; any enemy struck by them would be forcefully transported to the Kamui dimension, leaving no chance for enemies to block this attack. Such power was nothing short of hax.

Back then, even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had multiple arms shattered by this technique. If Kakashi's chakra reserves had been sufficient at that time, defeating Kaguya might have been much easier.

Now that Kakashi no Sharingan has returned, he's focused on two primary goals. First, he's driving his researchers to advance their technology rapidly. Second, he's begun his campaign of conquest. He has already brought down two of the four great nations, leaving only the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth.

The leaders of these remaining nations, Tsuchikage Ōhnoki and the Raikage, are no fools. After learning of the defeats of the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, they mobilize swiftly, allying to resist Kakashi's approach. Together, they believe that their combined might will be more than enough to stop a lone shinobi, even one as formidable as Kakashi.

In a decisive move, the forces of these two nations advance, bringing their elite troops to the borders of Konoha, setting the stage for an intense showdown. Kakashi, undaunted, brings his elite forces, ready to face them head-on. As the two sides prepare to clash, Ōhnoki and the Raikage stand ready to join forces and strike Kakashi with everything they have.

The atmosphere is tense, and the stakes are high, as both sides brace for the imminent conflict.
