"Got a problem with that? What are you butting in for!" Onoki predictably exploded.
Ye Liang shook his head with resignation. Then he touched the table. A wave of invisible killing intent suddenly radiated outward toward the three Kage-level masters.
"You gentlemen, have you forgotten about the incident with the shuriken?"
Onoki was stunned!
So was Raikage A and Terumi Mei. Both wore bitter expressions.
Having their embarrassing moments exposed in front of so many Genin was certainly not a face-saving situation!
"Reckless!" Onoki was just about to slam his hand on the table when his body suddenly felt as if targeted by an ancient ferocious beast. He trembled slightly, and his legs refused to move at all!
"It's that killing intent!" he realized.
His body had already been locked onto by Ye Liang's killing intent. If he stubbornly insisted on making a scene, the consequences would likely be unimaginable!
Onoki laughed.
He cackled like an eccentric old master.
"Haha, just joking with everyone! I, Onoki, have traveled far and wide—seen all sorts of people—but someone as impressive as this young man? Truly a first in my life! I've still got some local specialties; I'll have someone bring them over later."
"Hmph."
Ye Liang had expected this and nodded in satisfaction.
A and Mei exchanged confused glances.
"What just happened?"
Not being locked by Ye Liang's killing intent, they hadn't understood what had occurred.
Hashirama Senju exhaled in relief. He had already sensed something, though he was still a bit suspicious of Onoki's intentions.
"As someone as unpredictable as you, I must say, I've also never encountered before!"
The dinner continued with laughter and cheerful conversation.
After the meal,
Naruto and his companions were taken by Kaguya Hime to their respective rooms, while Ye Liang and the five Kage-level masters remained behind.
"Now that everyone's here, perhaps the young man can enlighten us," Hashirama approached.
"Hmph."
Ye Liang nodded.
He gestured for them to follow to a secluded, quiet place. As they looked on with confusion, he produced a golden turtle!
The time-space turtle!
Ye Liang had actually revealed this item!
"Gentlemen, let me speak plainly—I am not a 'now' person!" Ye Liang stated solemnly.
"'Now' person?" Onoki and the others blinked.
This went completely over their heads!
Even Hashirama looked bewildered. He'd originally assumed Ye Liang was hiding something important regarding the village's establishment, but apparently not.
"'Now' person?"
What the hell was that!
"It literally means what it says!" Ye Liang explained. "To be precise, I am not from this timeline. I came here from another parallel dimension."
"Traveled from another universe? What do you mean? Are you from the future?" Onoki asked.
Ye Liang shook his head.
The reason he had brought out the time-space turtle was precisely because he felt it was no longer wise to hide the truth.
If he wanted them to believe his words, certain things needed to be put on the table. None of them had become Kage by being idiots!
"This tortoise is the time-space travel device. To be precise, I'm from another Naruto world. That world has you, and many people who are no longer around here. They were flesh and blood beings, but got caught up in all sorts of messed-up situations!
I traveled to your world to save that world!"
What he said was hard to believe. Even Hashirama Senju looked skeptical. Terumi Mei, however, had her pupils twitch.
She suddenly thought about that heart drawn on the letter!
"I want to ask, in that world, what kind of relationship does *me* have with *you*?"
What kind of relationship?
Ye Liang was caught off guard. He hadn't expected Terumi Mei to ask this question.
"Something like soulmates," Ye Liang replied. Mei went quiet. She had a vague suspicion about it, but hadn't expected it to be this kind of relationship!
The other Kages didn't speak either.
After a long silence, Hashirama finally couldn't help but speak up, "Ye Liang, I may not be the smartest guy, but I'm not dumb either! If you're lying to me, I should be able to tell.
I accept you!"
Gaara also nodded, "Master! I believe you."
Hearing these two speak, the other three exchanged glances.
That was enough.
Ye Liang felt a bit of comfort.
As long as some people believed him, what he said afterward would have some credibility. His words weren't completely wasted. Looking at the two, Ye Liang happily nodded.
"Well then, I won't hide anything from everyone. I once traveled back several hundred years. There, I met my current wife, Kaguya Otsutsuki!
She is a member of the Otsutsuki Clan. Originally, she came to extract Earth's energy and plant the God Tree. However, after my gentle persuasion, she successfully abandoned this idea."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki!" Hashirama nearly shouted, "Are you talking about the Kaguya Otsutsuki who gave birth to the Sage of Six Paths and his brother!"
"Yeah, that's her."
The several Kage-level ninja swallowed hard.
Especially Hashirama. His big, dewy eyes glanced toward the residences, then quietly turned back to Ye Liang, "No wonder I couldn't beat her before!
So she's the ancestor of ninja!
I figured where that crazy broad came from, how could she be so strong!"
Though Hashirama spoke softly, everyone still felt his fear.
Onoki and the others also showed suspicion, "Ye Liang, if you say she's Kaguya Otsutsuki, then wouldn't that make you the father of the Sage of Six Paths?"
"Huh?" Ye Liang was taken aback!
He hadn't really considered this question before.
Right?
Just who exactly were the Sage of Six Paths and his parents!
Ye Liang felt a bit of fear. He quickly shook his head, "The Sage of Six Paths is naturally my son!"
Now was the time to focus on the important matters at hand, not consider other things.
Seeing everyone had become serious, Ye Liang continued, "In any case, because Kaguya abandoned planting the God Tree, the Kaguya Clan sent new powerful warriors to attack Earth. Several hundred years ago there had already been an attack, which Kaguya and her group successfully repelled. Unfortunately, before long, they will definitely come again."
He didn't mention explicitly that the Kaguya Clan was brought by Kaguya Hime, which was also a way of protecting her.
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Forget whether Ye Liang's words are believable—what if they're true? How would they, the people of this world, even handle that?
"Ye Liang, do you have any plans in mind?"
Hashirama Senju asked calmly.
He no longer addressed him as "young friend," but used Ye Liang's name this time. Now came the crucial part, and he had no mood for jokes. The other Kages felt the same—they all looked at Ye Liang eagerly, waiting for his response.
"I want to establish a Ninja Academy!
A school where everyone reaches Kage-level strength, where everyone masters Kinjutsu.
A school personally taught by me, the man from the future—Ye Liang!"
[Hiss!]
They all inhaled sharply in shock.
Such an ambitious goal was absolutely staggering. Every village had its own academy, but to have every single student learn Kinjutsu—this seemed utterly impossible!
The Kages fell silent.
After a long pause,
Hashirama nodded slightly: "I'll send over a few talented students first, and then you can train them."
"Alright, that works."
He then looked at the other Kages, "What about you all?"
