After the Golden Dragon of National Fortune appeared, it protected the entire Dragon Country. Many demons and monsters were turned to dust under the golden light. Even if any remnants remained, they were merely struggling to survive and could not make a significant impact.
From then on, academies of the extraordinary sprung up across Dragon Country, and relevant policies were enacted, propelling the development of the extraordinary in Dragon Country into a high-speed phase.
This is a story for later, and we will not dwell on it for now.
After the Golden Dragon of National Fortune was formed, Yu Zhibo looked at the golden dragon soaring above, his eyes filled with awe. However, his attention quickly shifted to the Pure Land space.
Inside the light barrier of the Pure Land space, as the awakening time arrived, most of the anime characters within opened their eyes one after another.
Among those summoned this time were the Third Raikage, Ay, and the Fourth Raikage, Ay. Also present were Might Guy, who popularized the Eight Inner Gates, Sakumo Hatake, who struck fear into the Hidden Sand Village, and the eternally beloved Minato Namikaze.
Moved by the unwavering love between the eternally beloved and Kushina Uzumaki, Yu Zhibo also summoned Kushina. Of course, her sealing jutsu was also top-notch in the ninja world, so summoning her was not entirely for the sake of pairing them up.
He also summoned the master of talk-no-jutsu, Naruto Uzumaki, thus completing his family of three, a truly happy reunion.
In addition to the aforementioned powerhouses, he also summoned Sasuke Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha from the Uchiha clan, quickly gathering more than half of the "Four Mad Laughs of Uchiha."
The reason for not summoning Itachi Uchiha was mainly due to the troublesome nature of the Heavenly Demon Clone, which had used Itachi Uchiha's appearance for infiltration. The Uchiha feared that summoning Itachi might lead to new complications, so they abandoned the idea.
"Huh? What is this place?"
Among the awakened powerhouses, the first to emerge from the light barrier was a carefree young boy with blond hair, whiskers, and azure eyes, exuding the aura of a sunny youth.
This person was Naruto Uzumaki. Unlike others who slowly processed the information in their minds and cautiously guarded against the unfamiliar environment, he, after manifesting his usual attire, stepped out of the light barrier, scratching his head and curiously observing his surroundings.
His disposition was as careless as ever.
"Eh? Are there people in these light barriers? Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto was careless, but not an idiot (…perhaps). He glanced around at the light barriers, pondered for a moment, then struck the classic pose for the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating eleven clones and instructing them to knock on the light barriers.
"Damn it, don't stop me!"
"You go knock on that one!"
After the clones appeared, they inherited the boisterous personality of the original body and quickly began to move. Some even bumped into each other, exchanged a few words, and then each reached a light barrier. Their expressions turned serious, and they exchanged glances before nodding slightly.
The next moment, they raised their hands and simultaneously knocked on the light barriers.
"Is anyone there?" As the clones knocked on the light barriers, they shouted in unison, making the entire space noisy.
"Chirp chirp chirp! Pfft!"
Suddenly, a light spear condensed from lightning shot out from a light barrier, piercing through the Naruto clone that was knocking. As the clone dissipated into smoke, a handsome young man with spiky hair and bangs that exposed his forehead stepped out, his face filled with coldness and impatience. "Naruto Uzumaki, you're as noisy as ever!"
He was the most chuunibyou, the most arrogant, the least talented, the loudest laughing, and the only genius ninja, besides Itachi Uchiha, who was immune to talk-no-jutsu in the Uchiha clan.
"Ah? It's you, Sasuke!" Upon seeing the young man, Naruto's face lit up with joy, and then he showed a determined expression. "This time, I will definitely bring you back!"
"Then let me see if you have the ability!" A complex emotion flickered in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness. After saying this, he activated Chidori Stream, the flickering arcs of electricity covering his body, and without a word, charged towards Naruto Uzumaki.
After years apart, he also wanted to see how strong this best friend and rival had become.
"Bang!"
Naruto Uzumaki's body instantly turned golden, entering Nine-Tails Mode, and his right elbow collided with Sasuke's. An invisible energy storm immediately swept outwards from them as the center, dissipating only after reaching the outer wall of the large light barrier that enclosed all the smaller light barriers.
As they clashed and retreated, preparing to continue their battle, a sharp cry came from a nearby light barrier. A beautiful woman with red hair emerged, and without a word, four golden chains shot out from her abdomen, sealing towards Sasuke Uchiha.
"How dare you hit my son? Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
"More help?" Sasuke Uchiha's expression was cold. He drew the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword hanging from his waist, and as he swung the blade, it collided with the golden chains. Then, using the recoil, he performed a backflip and retreated to the edge of the light barrier.
"Mom?" Naruto looked at the woman in astonishment, his face quickly showing joy.
The woman who suddenly appeared was none other than Kushina Uzumaki.
At this moment, Naruto had only recently tamed the Nine-Tails. He had seen Kushina Uzumaki in his consciousness, so he recognized her immediately.
Before he could say anything more, a blur appeared beside Kushina Uzumaki, gradually solidifying into a blond man wearing a Hokage robe. His gaze swept over Kushina and Naruto, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. It was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
"Minato?" Upon seeing Minato Namikaze and feeling the familiar scent emanating from him, Kushina Uzumaki froze on the spot, her eyes quickly welling up with tears.
"It's me!" Minato Namikaze displayed his signature squinting smile and spoke gently to Kushina Uzumaki.
"Dad, you're here too!" Naruto was dumbfounded, even forgetting about Sasuke. He ran in front of them, looking flustered.
"Fourth Hokage? Are these his parents?" Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted as he felt the pressure emanating from Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, which was not weaker than his own. He stopped his actions.
Then, a flicker of desolation crossed his eyes. He once had a happy and complete family, but everything was destroyed by that man—No, it was Konoha that destroyed the Uchiha. He wanted to destroy Konoha!
With this thought, Sasuke Uchiha's face returned to its cold expression, and his grip on the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi tightened.
"Naruto, you've grown up!" Minato Namikaze ruffled Naruto's hair, a look of relief on his face.
"We can talk about this later. For now, let's deal with this guy who dared to attack my Naruto!" Kushina Uzumaki said sternly, looking at Sasuke Uchiha.
Both Minato Namikaze and she had existed in Naruto's body in spirit form, so they were fully aware of everything their son had experienced and understood the bond between Sasuke and their son.
Because of this, they resented Sasuke Uchiha's coldness towards Naruto, making it seem as if their son was a sycophant.
Of course, she didn't intend to kill Sasuke Uchiha. Putting aside her son's regard for Sasuke, she herself was best friends with Mikoto Uchiha. Seeing her close friend's son reach this point, she felt a pang of heartache. Her thoughts were the same as Naruto's: to awaken Sasuke and guide him back to the right path.
Minato Namikaze also looked at Naruto. He was more rational than Kushina Uzumaki and knew that given Naruto's personality, he would not allow others to interfere with his bond with Sasuke.
Indeed, upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Naruto Uzumaki shook his head, turned to face Sasuke Uchiha, stood in front of his parents, and said with a determined expression, "Dad, Mom, this is between him and me. Don't interfere! I want to bring back my lost comrade myself!"
Hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes narrowed, and a slight ripple of emotion passed through him. However, with his innate immunity to talk-no-jutsu, his heart had long turned as cold as iron after learning the truth about his brother's death. His gaze towards Naruto quickly became indifferent.
Naruto looked at him and shouted, "Sasuke, come back to the village with me. It's not too late!"
"The village?" Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke burst into laughter, as if he had heard a ridiculously funny joke. However, before he could continue his boast, from another light barrier, a man with a bowl cut, wearing a green bodysuit and a flak jacket, emerged and laughed heartily. "Although I don't know what this place is, my youth will continue here! This is youth!"
With Might Guy's appearance, the atmosphere within the entire large light barrier became comical.
"Eh? Fourth Hokage? You're revived? What is this place?" Might Guy turned his head, his face showing shock upon seeing Minato Namikaze, and fired off a series of questions.
"So the Fourth Hokage of Konoha was inherited by this young man? Might Guy, you've grown so much!" Another silver-haired man emerged from the light barrier. He was tall and slender, with a short sword on his back and a forehead protector on his head, wearing a ninja combat outfit. Upon seeing Might Guy and hearing his words, he asked this question.
"Uncle Sakumo? Aren't you..." Might Guy looked at him in shock, then glanced around. "Did Kakashi come with you?"
"Kakashi? I haven't seen him!" Sakumo Hatake said as he walked towards the Konoha contingent. He had some impression of Minato Namikaze, remembering him as a ninja from a commoner background, and was surprised that he had become Hokage.
"Senior Sakumo!" Minato Namikaze nodded slightly at Sakumo Hatake. After becoming Hokage, he had learned some inside information about the true cause of Sakumo's death and greatly admired the latter.
"I dare not accept the title of senior. I am merely a sinner who failed a mission!" Sakumo Hatake said with a wry smile.
His soul had been directly plundered by Yu Zhibo from the Pure World in the ninja world, and the time period spanned from the moment he committed suicide.
"Senior Sakumo, please do not demean yourself!" Minato Namikaze said seriously. "My student once said that if a ninja who cannot complete a mission is trash, then someone who abandons their comrades for the sake of a mission is worse than trash. I believe he is very right, and what happened to you was clearly deliberately designed by someone."
At this point, Minato Namikaze did not continue. This was because Sakumo Hatake died due to Konoha's political infighting. The details were too sordid, and he was also an indirect beneficiary.
Sakumo Hatake waved his hand, not refuting anything, but instead asked, "What is the current situation?"
"It seems some unknown energy has summoned ninjas from different eras, even those who have already died," Minato Namikaze said with a solemn expression. "The fact that you and I can live in the same time period is enough to prove this."
In a corner, Sasuke Uchiha sheathed the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in his hand. He was tsundere, but not foolish. The Konoha ninjas before him were banding together, and their combined combat strength was clearly more than a match for him.
"There are a total of eleven light barriers, and six have appeared so far. Who else is in the remaining six light barriers?"
Sakumo Hatake narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"What's going on? Didn't I die after fighting tens of thousands of ninjas alone? Why..." Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the remaining light barriers, a tall man emerged from one of them. The moment he appeared, his fierce aura was unleashed without reservation.
This person was 205 cm tall, with well-defined muscles, earthy yellow hair, and a forehead protector with a cloud pattern tied to his head. His thick right arm bore the green character "雷" (Thunder), clearly the Third Raikage.
"Father, you're revived? What's going on?" Following closely behind the Third Raikage from another light barrier was the Fourth Raikage, Ay. He had the same dark skin and light yellow hair as the Third Raikage, was very strong, wore a white cape with green shuriken-shaped patterns on his shoulders, and a wide belt and heavy armor.
At this moment, he was also completely bewildered, but he instinctively walked to the Third Raikage's side. He was 100% sure that this was his father; he wouldn't mistake him.
The two Raikages, father and son, looked as if they were cast from the same mold, exuding an incredibly fierce aura, like human beasts.
The appearance of these two immediately brought immense pressure to everyone. Both Sasuke Uchiha and the small group from Konoha wore solemn expressions.
These were the two strongest Raikages of the Hidden Cloud Village. If they fought side by side, they could exert immense pressure on them in such a confined space.
"Konoha ninjas? Is that White Fang? And the Uchiha brat?" The Third Raikage Ay looked at the people by the light barriers, his expression solemn, and his terrifying aura surged, giving the impression that he would attack at the slightest disagreement.
