"Shisui, be careful!"
After warning Shisui, Kakashi began to focus and stay on guard.
Shisui did the same!
The deep vortex grew larger and larger, and then another 'Kakashi' walked out. (Note: The universe where Uchiha Jin resides is labeled Universe 1, and the original Ninja World they are entering now is labeled Universe 2.)
'Playing tricks!'
Kakashi (Universe 2) narrowed his eyes, clearly quite angry.
Earlier, upon learning that his father's death was suspicious, he had felt stifled and frustrated. Now, just as he was prepared to have a good talk with Shisui, he hadn't expected someone to disguise themselves as him again.
'Raikiri!'
Facing this suspected enemy, lightning flickered on Kakashi's right hand.
However...
Before Kakashi (Universe 2)'s Raikiri could be unleashed, Kakashi (Universe 1), who had just walked out of the vortex channel, immediately drew his White Fang short blade and, with lightning speed, held the blade against Kakashi (Universe 2)'s neck.
"Weak, too weak!"
"Is it the influence of Obito's Sharingan?"
"And this decadent, giving-up attitude, it really looks a bit like me back in the day!"
"..."
Kakashi (Universe 1) offered a few comments.
Kakashi (Universe 2), who had just been preparing to have a good talk with Shisui, felt a chill running down his spine.
Fast, too fast!
Especially the opponent's familiar force-exerting habits, which made him think of his father, Sakumo Hatake.
And the White Fang short blade resting on his neck, as well as the familiar Chakra fluctuations, were undoubtedly exactly the same as his own, only the opponent's strength was much greater.
What exactly was going on?
However...
Before Kakashi (Universe 2) could speak, he suddenly and fearfully discovered that the vortex from which Kakashi (Universe 1) had emerged had not dissipated, but continued to let out two more familiar figures.
"Teacher Minato? Orochimaru!!!"
Kakashi (Universe 2) was completely stunned.
His brain went blank, and he stood there frozen.
He couldn't help it!
His brain's CPU couldn't process this.
On the other side.
Shisui walked up to them: "Lord Minato, Lord Orochimaru."
"And Kakashi, I really didn't expect that the three of you would come this time."
Edo Tensei Minato sighed with emotion: "So this is a parallel world, and there is another Kakashi."
"Ah, it truly is interesting!" Orochimaru licked his lips, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes, along with the look of a researcher filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Unlike Minato and Kakashi, he had voluntarily chosen to participate to save his life after learning about this matter.
Parallel worlds were, to a researcher like him, even more attractive than the Ōtsutsuki or Ninjutsu.
Kakashi (Universe 1) put away his White Fang short blade and patted Kakashi (Universe 2)'s shoulder.
"Stop being decadent, hurry up and train."
"There are a lot of troubles in the future!"
Kakashi (Universe 2) was still dazed.
Shisui looked at the three newly appeared companions, and the pressure on his head finally dissipated by half.
After all, with these three helping him, the road ahead would be much easier to walk.
"Alright, everyone."
"This is not the place to chat, everyone should come home with me first."
"Kakashi..."
"You're probably here to ask about your father, right? It just so happens that the Kakashi from my world is here, so you can ask yourself later."
"Also, stop being shocked!"
"The Shisui of this world is indeed dead, and we are from another parallel world."
"Our purpose in coming to this world is also because we accepted a mission from our Hokage."
"My mission is to prevent the Uchiha from being exterminated, and incidentally, to change this twisted world as well."
"There is one more thing, Kakashi!"
"You are in danger during this period, so I suggest you follow us."
"We'll talk about the details later, for now, let's go to my house."
After saying this, Shisui ignored the bewildered Kakashi (Universe 2) and led everyone back to his own home in this world.
The small courtyard was extremely clean, and the room was as neat as ever.
Even though the Shisui of this world had been dead for several months, it was clear that someone was still cleaning the place every day. Seeing this, Shisui couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't know who was cleaning it every day, he assumed it must have been an arrangement by Uchiha Itachi.
After all...
Even though he was not the version of himself from this world, he knew that with his own personality, he would only have one true friend like Itachi.
He went to the kitchen and boiled a pot of water. Even though this wasn't his real home, he followed his memory to find a jar of top-grade tea leaves he had obtained in the Land of Tea in the cabinet.
"Heh, as expected of myself!"
"Although we are not from the same world, there is not much difference in the way we consider problems, our personalities, tempers, and other aspects."
"..."
Shisui sighed with emotion before taking out the tea leaves and serving tea to these guests.
After everyone sat down, Shisui began his introduction.
He told them everything he had done that afternoon.
Minato Namikaze commented: "Shisui, you are quite restrained. If it were before, perhaps I would agree with your idea, but ever since I saw Uchiha Jin's handling methods and the subsequent results, I suggest you can be a bit more radical."
Orochimaru nodded.
He was not a gentle person by nature, so Uchiha Jin's approach was the one that truly suited his temperament and personality.
"Yes, being more radical is better!"
"If you play with political maneuvering, although it seems like fewer people will sacrifice or die, more people will still suffer in this old set of rules."
"So my suggestion is, let's take out Danzo and Root tonight."
"Danzo is the dark side of Hiruzen, as long as we can take out Danzo's Root first, we can abolish half of Hiruzen's power."
"After all, standing on the bright side, many of his methods cannot be used!"
"And the reason is ready-made."
"To get back your eyes, Shisui, isn't that right?"
"Quietly call Itachi back, and we will act directly tonight!"
Hearing this, Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.
His tone was very serious: "Since we have decided, let's act as soon as possible. Just let Itachi leave a Shadow Clone in the Sarutobi clan grounds to fool others."
"Based on my understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he will definitely not take action tonight."
Clearly.
He had observed Uchiha Jin for so long that he had inevitably been influenced, and his actions had become much more radical.
There was no other way!
Because Uchiha Jin's methods were damn effective!
Look at his own world, peace had basically been restored, and war had been completely eliminated throughout the Ninja World.
In this case, why wouldn't he support it?
Moreover.
He was now in a hurry to deal with Danzo, and then take the time to see the Naruto of this world.
On the other side.
Just as Shisui and the others were discussing the situation, the two Kakashis on the other side also began their own exchange.
