Inside the Hidden Leaf Village, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed his hand on a thick book, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes.
In front of him, several people were restraining a scholarly young man wearing flat-lens glasses.
But at this moment, the man's mind was scattered, completely unconscious, his head being held by a man whose face bore a deep running scar, who was reading his memories.
After a long while, the scar-faced man released his hands and reported to Hiruzen:
"Lord Hokage, it has been confirmed. Just as the Book of Prophecies described—Yakushi Kabuto is indeed a hidden pawn planted in Konoha by Orochimaru. The 'Konoha Crush Plan' mentioned in the book really could occur."
"I understand."Hiruzen took a serious drag from his pipe. Although he had already suspected it, getting confirmation still sent a chill through him.
His gaze fell upon the book before him: A book of prophecy… I never imagined so many events would occur in the shinobi world over the next few years…
"Ibiki, go summon all the shinobi in the village, the Elders, and the administrative council. Konoha has already become the target of all." Hiruzen ordered.
"What about Kabuto, Lord Hokage?"
"Him?"Hiruzen's gaze shifted to the unconscious young man.
In the future, this guy would cause enormous chaos with the improved Edo Tensei he learned from Orochimaru—but that was later. Right now, his strength wasn't even at elite jōnin level.
"Lock him in Konoha's high-security prison for now. We'll deal with him afterward."
...
Half an hour later, Konoha's finest gathered in the meeting room after receiving the summons.
Each person flipped through their personal copy of the Book of Prophecies, none showing much surprise.
The book had become famous among ordinary towns outside the shinobi villages first, so by the time Konoha received word, it was far too late to ban it.
Everyone present had more or less read its contents already; this was simply the first time it was being openly discussed.
Of course, not surprised didn't mean not shocked. The secrets of the Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails, the Fourth Shinobi War…
Any single one of these topics could shake the entire shinobi world.
And now, all of it had been dumped on them at once.
From the perspective of the future described in the novel, Konoha would undoubtedly face turbulent times.
"You should all be familiar with the book's contents. After verification, we can almost confirm that what's written in it is accurate."
Hiruzen asked gravely: "Now that you know the future, what are your thoughts?"
"First capture Yakushi Kabuto, then kill Orochimaru. As long as these two are contained, without Edo Tensei and the White Zetsu army, the Fourth War and the Konoha Crush won't be able to happen."Nara Shikaku said slowly.
"And Uchiha Madara as well. Although Orochimaru's improved Edo Tensei shouldn't exist yet, we can occupy the summoning slot first."
"Occupy the summoning slot?"Everyone froze, not understanding what Shikaku meant.
Shikaku explained unhurriedly:"Right now, aside from Orochimaru, the only place Edo Tensei is recorded is in Konoha."
"We can use a weakened version to summon Uchiha Madara first—then seal him completely."
"That way, Madara's soul remains in our possession in the living world. No one else can summon or revive him again."
Everyone stared blankly at Shikaku.Worthy of being Konoha's strategist—this line of thinking was brilliant.
Just moments ago they were still fretting about the future Fourth Shinobi War, and with just a few sentences, Shikaku had parted the clouds and shown them sunlight.
"Shikaku is right. With this Book of Prophecies, the current shinobi world holds almost no secrets from us anymore. We can craft individual counter-strategies for every enemy—and also protect ourselves."Hiruzen nodded.
"Lord Hokage, we must also protect Naruto and Sasuke. If things spiral out of control, those two are the greatest trump cards in the shinobi world."Hatake Kakashi said.
"For Uzumaki Naruto, I agree—we should train him with everything we have. But Uchiha Sasuke must be watched carefully."Danzō interrupted.
The moment he spoke, everyone gave him bizarre looks.
In the book, the Uchiha massacre had at least some of his fingerprints on it—and later he got beaten to death like a stray dog by Uchiha Sasuke.
"Enough. Arrange special protection for both of them immediately. After the Chūnin Exams, send Naruto to Mount Myōboku for training. As for Uchiha Sasuke, we'll decide later."Hiruzen concluded.
"And regarding Bai Ye—what are your thoughts?"
The room instantly fell silent.
The Book of Prophecies didn't describe Bai Ye in detail, but even the vague hints were unforgettable.
"For now… it's best we don't provoke him. If something like that happens again, Konoha—no, the entire shinobi world—won't survive the chaos."Just remembering the descriptions made everyone shudder.
That guy's "story tone" could turn a passionate, inspirational shōnen series into a deranged adults-only horror show.
At that moment, an ANBU suddenly appeared."Lord Hokage, we've just received word—Bai Ye has arrived in the village. He's currently with Uchiha Sasuke."
Silence—
The moment Bai Ye's name was mentioned, the entire room fell still.Everyone felt goosebumps.Several kunoichi instinctively pressed their legs together, their cheeks flushing.
"Ahem. Bai Ye is here, hmm? You all stay calm. I'll go take a look. Perhaps the story won't follow the book exactly."The Third tried to reassure them, then stood and walked out.
Inside the village—
After returning to Konoha from the coronation ceremony, Bai Ye looked at Sasuke and asked:"How badly has the plot collapsed these last few days?"
"After everyone read your book, the Fourth Kazekage disappeared halfway to the village. Everyone now knows he's dead—that the one coming was actually Orochimaru in disguise."
"But compared to everyone else, your problem is bigger."
Uchiha Sasuke stared at Bai Ye."You do realize how… sensitive your behavior is in the book, right?"
"Well, you know how it is—sometimes you write and write, and you can't stop. I accidentally added a tiny bit of… revision."Even Bai Ye couldn't help laughing.
Put simply—He subconsciously inserted himself into the role the Fourth Raikage A held in certain… fan-made works.
Turning this "unofficial chronicle" into something wild beyond belief.
