Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Kaguya Everywhere
Minato fell silent after hearing Takumi's words.
What Takumi suggested seemed impossible to refuse. After a moment of thought, Minato spoke:
"If our world is moved over, will it be treated the same as the other worlds connected to yours?"
He didn't ask the last part aloud—but Takumi understood.
"Yes. I won't treat anyone differently. In the future, if you want to make a living, you'll have to rely on your own efforts. If your world is really moved over, you'll have access to more resources, right?"
Hearing this, Minato nodded. That assurance was enough.
"Alright! Then I have no objections."
He agreed to the migration of his world.
Takumi's grin grew even brighter.
"Good! Let's head to your world. I heard your wife's about to give birth? Sounds like a good show is about to start. I'll wait until you've handled that before I make my move."
Indeed, Takumi was looking forward to the Night of the Nine-Tails. He was especially eager to see Obito get a beating.
Minato sighed. He couldn't refuse Takumi's enthusiasm. He was determined to watch.
"Alright, I don't mind."
Takumi turned to Zhongli.
"Old man, want to come too? You're not busy anyway."
Zhongli, always idling around with music and entertainment, might as well tag along for the excitement.
"Sounds good. I'll join you."
The three made their plan.
"Shall we go now?"
Minato was already eager to return—his wife was still at home, after all. He wanted to see her.
"Wait a bit. I need to get a few things in order."
Takumi wasn't in a rush. After speaking to them, he vanished.
First, he visited Tomoyo and told her he'd be away for a few days. She and the others were surprised but didn't question it.
"Take care on the road. We'll just explore and enjoy ourselves here."
Knowing he was busy, Tomoyo didn't protest. They weren't kids anymore.
Takumi nodded and turned to Daidouji Sonomi. After a brief chat, he departed.
He then stopped by Kaguya's place to inform Tsukuyomi.
"Going to Naruto's world?" Kaguya looked at him knowingly, recalling what Takumi had said in the chat group.
"That's right. I'm going there to find Kaguya."
Takumi flashed a brilliant smile. After all, there was still an Ōtsutsuki Kaguya in that world.
Kaguya clearly understood and responded:
"Bring her back to me. I'm curious."
Kaguya was even considering changing her own name—there were just too many people named Kaguya. Let Takumi bring her back, give her a beating, and maybe force her to change her name.
It wasn't a bad idea.
Takumi glanced at Kaguya's calm expression. He wasn't sure what she was thinking—but if his wife wanted it, he'd deliver. No big deal. Even if he didn't act, Kaguya would probably come eventually. With the worlds being moved, she'd be bound to show up.
Having said his goodbyes, Takumi returned to Zhongli and Minato.
When he arrived, the two were already eating lunch. Seeing this, Takumi was speechless. With no choice, he joined them for the meal.
After eating, Takumi brought out a spatial bracelet and let Zhongli enter it. He went in as well.
In Naruto's world, Takumi restrained his power slightly—should be enough for them to handle. After all, they had Ōtsutsuki-level forces.
As for returning, they would use the invitation scroll.
Minato, having learned how, pulled out his scroll, grabbed the bracelet, and disappeared from where he stood.
...
Meanwhile, in Konoha, chaos reigned.
Minato had suddenly vanished from his office for several hours, leaving many people confused.
No one knew what had happened. Even the Anbu had detected nothing unusual.
When did the Hokage leave? Nobody knew.
Now, the advisor elders had gathered in the Hokage's office.
"How is Minato doing his job as Hokage? He vanished without a word!"
Koharu Utatane was extremely displeased. Was the Hokage playing games?
Disappearing like this—was this how a leader acted?
"Enough! This bickering is disgraceful. We should be figuring out where Minato went!"
The Third Hokage slammed the table. These old geezers were driving him crazy. Arguing wouldn't help.
The room fell silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also anxious. Where had Minato gone?
Why had he disappeared without saying a word?
According to Anbu reports, he had simply vanished. It didn't seem like he had used Flying Thunder God. That made things even more confusing.
Could there be another space-time jutsu? But there was no sign of chakra fluctuation.
All these factors made the situation baffling.
Just as they were at a loss, Minato suddenly reappeared in the office.
"Oh? Everyone's here."
Minato casually scanned the room, feigning surprise.
Everyone looked relieved.
"Minato! Where did you go?"
Minato's disappearance had scared Konoha's top brass. Now that he had returned, they could finally breathe easier.
Minato understood this but didn't offer much explanation.
He simply claimed to have tested a new jutsu, which caused his disappearance. From now on, Flying Thunder God would be even stronger—he had managed to hide his chakra signature.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Minato's power had increased again? That was huge news.
Some were happy, others distressed.
Danzo, in particular, felt miserable. The stronger Minato became, the farther Danzo's dream of the Hokage seat drifted.
He was thoroughly displeased.
