Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-439

--- Chapter 436 ---

One day passed after Yunlong and his companions entered the Shinobi World. They have encountered many surprises on their little adventures, and some major native powers finally noticed their presence.

At the moment, the Kages of Five Great Nations assembled using the wonder of technology and faced each other through the screen.

Konohagakure, Hokage's Office.

Uzumaki Naruto sat on his chair and faced four screens. His short blonde hair was a bit wet because Uchiha Sasuke called him right after he had showered back home.

"It's been a while, Naruto." Said the Kazekage Gaara to his old friend in the well-lit room. The red-haired man looks amiable in his maroon robe, which highlights the smile on his handsome face.

The Seventh Hokage smiled and acknowledged his greeting, "Yeah, it's been a while, Gaara. Unfortunately, we are not here for a good time."

"Unfortunately, I have bad and surprising news for everyone."

"Say it! Don't keep us in suspense!" A loud, feminine voice comes out of the speaker. A red-dressed lady sat in her Tsuchikage's Seat and had a frown on her beautiful face.

"Calm down, Kurotsuchi-san. Let Naruto-dono finish his words." Another voice appeared, trying to defuse the volcano-like Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure.

The voice comes from a blue-haired man in a tosca suit. He wore thick-framed glasses and light-blue ear protectors because of his origin.

He's Chojuro, the current Mizukage of the Kirigakure.

"Shut your darn trap!" Kurotsuchi returned immediately. Yet she still crossed her arms and waited for the Hokage to speak.

Yawn~!

"You guys are always lively..." A lazy voice comes from the speaker as the last screen brightens up, revealing a white-haired, dark-skinned man with a slightly bulbous nose, a small mustache, and black eyes that look sleepy.

He currently wore a hooded attire that looked like pajamas.

"Anyway..."

"Hokage, please tell the bad news first."

Uzumaki Naruto smiled wryly because these people were the rulers of their respective great shinobi villages.

People thought the Kages were 'genuinely' dignified and wise. But the truth is they were so sloppy for people of their age.

Uzumaki Naruto shook his head gently and glanced at his friend, "I didn't know the bad news, but Sasuke did. Aih, he dragged me to the office when I just finished my shower."

"Please tell us the 'bad' news you mentioned earlier."

Uchiha Sasuke stepped in the light and caused the four Kages to become solemn as this Uchiha held a great power that could tip the balance between the great shinobi villages.

However, they maintained calmness and waited for the one-armed Uchiha to speak.

Uchiha Sasuke stared at the screens and announced, "I met and fought with the members of Otsutsuki Clan a while ago."

"What? There are still more members of such monsters?" Kurotsuchi stood up from her seat.

"Yes, there is. I've been wandering through many dimensions that Otsutsuki Kaguya created and met with two Otsutsuki Members by chance." Uchiha Sasuke replied with a sigh.

"I didn't expect to meet them, to be honest."

"How strong are they compared to Otsusuki Kaguya?" Darui asked while pulling out his hood.

Uchiha Sasuke put on a complex expression before answering, "Strong. I can't kill them both alone."

The room becomes silent instantly because who doesn't know about Uchiha Sasuke, the infamous Raijin's battle prowess better than them?

Even they didn't have a way to defeat this one-armed man when he was serious. For him to say the enemy is strong is definitely a sign of a terrible future.

Gaara wondered about something and pointed, "Naruto said you have surprising news for us, what is it?"

"Ah, yes," Chojuro followed. "Naruto-dono did say that earlier."

Even Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but glance at his friend.

Uchiha Sasuke opened his mouth slowly, "While I was fighting against one of the Otsutsuki Clan's members, a portal appeared and two more people stepped out."

"They are people of this world, and we knew them quite well."

"One is the Rabbit Goddess, Otsutsuki Kaguya herself... She seemed to possess a new body because I couldn't detect any familiar aspect besides her soul."

"And the other person is..."

"Ancestor of Humans, Sword God."

Another silence occurred in the Kage's Offices. They have a pale and shocked look on their faces.

The emergence of two more Otsutsuki Clan members was enough to alert the Gokage. However, Sword God is an existence that this world couldn't contain.

He's like a glitch in the matrix.

"Uchiha Sasuke, this is not a joke, right?" Kurotsuchi asked with a dark expression.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at her and indifferently returned, "Do you think I'm a man who would tell a random joke in this serious meeting?"

"Tsk, fair enough." The Tsuchikage clicked her tongue because this one-armed Uchiha was too serious of a man. If she didn't know that Uchiha Sasuke married and had a daughter, she would have thought he was a machine.

"Sasuke, continue." Uzumaki Naruto frowned slightly because the Sword God awoke an old memory in his head.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and continued, "I don't know how, but I couldn't sense the depth of their power at all. When Otsutsuki Kaguya was about to fight the new Otsutsuki Member, her unknown aura exceeded that of a Ten Tails."

"That's terrifying..." Darui mumbled.

"It's more terrifying than that if you saw it directly." Uchiha Sasuke retorted. "Before everything went chaotic, the Sword God told me to leave and I immediately returned to Konohagakure to find Naruto."

"That's why you look so worried." Uzumaki Naruto finally realized why his friend acted like this.

"Do you know where they are right now?" Asked Gaara to the one-armed Uchiha.

Uchiha Sasuke gave a red-haired man a depressed sigh, "No."

"But I know people who could lead us to Sword God and Otsutsuki Kaguya."

"They messaged me right after I escaped the collapsing dimension."

The Gokage wondered who these people were until the Kazekage Gaara guessed it. "Are you perhaps talking about the Land of Demons' High Priestesses?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked surprised momentarily before nodding, "Yes, I'm talking about them."

"They sent me a hawk earlier, which indicates that they expected the Sword God and others to return to the Shinobi World. In the past, they were also in charge of predicting many disasters."

"At the very least, they should know whether Sword God is our enemy of this era. Personally speaking, I don't feel any ill intents from the Sword God."

"I will send a clone to the Land of Demons immediately." Uzumaki Naruto created a Shadow Clone and sent it away, causing an orange flash to flee out of the Konohagakure.

"We will also tell our villages to enter an alert state." The other Kages reacted.

"Let's hold a real Gokage's Meeting." Darui surprisingly proposed.

"I will bring Bee-san as well."

"After all, we know that the Otsutsuki Clan is after Tailed Beasts."

"Hokage, the plan to hold the Chunin Exam in Konohagakure is still going on, right?"

"Yes, we have mostly prepared for everything." Uzumaki Naruto replied with a nod.

"It's decided then, let's meet in Konohagakure soon." Darui rubbed his face in exhaustion.

"I agree," Tsuchikage added.

"Me too." Chojuro fixed his glasses.

"Then, we will meet in two days." Gaara counted the emergency state's preparation at the back of his head.

"Well, It seems we need to band together again against a common enemy."

Uzumaki Naruto smiled and each screen finally dimmed, indicating that the long-distance meeting was over.

He leaned against his chair and asked, "Sasuke, do you only see Sword God and Otsutsuki Kaguya?"

"Yeah, I only saw them, but that doesn't stop the probability of another appearing in our world." Uchiha Sasuke replied. "If this keeps going on, the era of peace won't last for too long."

Uzumaki Naruto sighed, "It is always like this."

"By the way, Sarada-chan entered the same team as Orochimaru's son and Boruto."

"Is that so?" Uchiha Sasuke raised his brow.

Uzumaki Naruto laughed at his friend's reaction, "Haha, they are a pretty good team."

"I wish Boruto to take things more seriously from now on."

"He will, this is my hunch. a Shinobi wouldn't change much, even in the era of peace." Uchiha Sasuke returned confidently.

"Bet?"

"Bet."

They stared at each other before chuckling in amusement.

"Go, and check Sakura-chan, Sasuke."

"I will go and have dinner with my family." Uzumaki Naruto stood up from his seat. "After that, we can discuss more about the Otsutsukis and Sword God."

After saying that, Uzumaki Naruto disappeared with a bolt of orange lightning.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced outside the window and saw the bustling city of Konohagakure, "I should cherish the little time I had, huh?"

Soon, he disappeared from the Hokage's Office and reappeared near an apartment complex.

He knocked on one of the doors, "Sakura, Sarada, I'm home."
