All Hokage in The Chat Group

[World Power Ranking Begins!]

[After returning from the chat group, you immediately focus on advancing the technological level of your world. Orochimaru has developed a new weapon based on Kumo Technology: the Chakra Cannon. It's incredibly powerful and meets your expectations perfectly.]

Tsunade's brows furrowed as a sense of familiarity washed over her. "A Chakra Cannon? That sounds familiar..." she murmured, trying to place where she had heard of it before.

Obito leaned back, his mind piecing together the information. "Wasn't it something from the Kakashi's world?" he remarked, his tone thoughtful as he connected the dots.

Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise as realization dawned. "That's right! Ryan's world has developed such technology already?" she exclaimed, astonished by the rapid advancement.

Tobirama, usually so composed, felt a rare tinge of surprise as he considered the implications. "It seems their technological development is advancing rapidly! To catch up in such a short time..." His voice carried a note of disbelief, a testament to how extraordinary Ryan's progress truly was.

As they read the description, the Hokages exchanged thoughts.

The technological progress in Ryan's world was much faster than they had anticipated. After all, there's a time gap of more than eighteen years between Ryan's world and the world of Kakashi. Yet, Ryan had managed to bring his world's technology close to the level of the Sixth Hokage in such a short span.

Naruto, too, looked at the description with interest. A weapon like the Chakra Cannon was considered powerful even in his world, where the next generation of advanced weaponry was still under development.

This meant that, in terms of technology, Ryan's world wasn't all that different from his own!

"What incredible speed..." Naruto murmured, awestruck. 

After all, it had only been a little over ten years since the end of the Fourth Ninja World War. For their technology to advance so quickly within such a short span was a testament to the rapid development of their world.

As the group continued to discuss this, the images on the light screen progressed.

[Not long after, your reconnaissance team detected changes on the moon. Meteorites were targeting Konoha]

[You didn't even need to intervene directly. The Chakra Cannon easily neutralized these dangerous meteorites!]

The Hokages were astonished by what they saw.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with surprise as he observed the display. "So the Chakra Cannon is this effective?" He leaned in, his gaze fixed on the screen, clearly impressed by the weapon's capabilities.

Glasses Tsunade nodded, his usual calm demeanor giving way to visible intrigue. "Yeah! I never would've thought of that!" her voice carried an edge of admiration, reflecting the rapid pace of technological advancement.

Tobirama looked on with a mixture of awe and skepticism. "The power and the ease of activation are incredible," he remarked her tone a blend of wonder and concern. his sharp eyes took in every detail, already contemplating the potential to research Chakra canons in his world.

Initially, when the Chakra Cannon was introduced, they hadn't thought much of it. It was just a weapon, after all. Even though it was powerful, each of them was capable of unleashing devastation on a similar scale to an A-rank ninjutsu.

But now, seeing the Chakra Cannon in action, they realized its true potential. It could rival the power of ninjutsu, but with one key difference: it didn't require advanced skills to operate. Even a Chūnin or Genin could wield it effectively!

"This is the most terrifying aspect of this technological weapon," Tobirama commented, his voice serious. "It enables even Chūnin and Genin to wield immense power without risking their lives. It grants them the strength of the strongest."

Tobirama's high praise for the Chakra Cannon left the other Hokages deep in thought. Each one of them felt a growing realization—when they returned to their respective villages, they needed to focus on developing this technology. This weapon was undeniably useful, no joke about it!

Naruto, too, was taken aback. Up until now, he had only considered the Chakra Cannon to be a helpful tool. He hadn't realized just how powerful it truly was, capable of achieving such devastating results. 

"It seems I've underestimated the power of technology," Naruto muttered, feeling a mix of awe and unease. "The strength of technology is truly terrifying."

As he spoke, the light screen continued to display the next segment of the story.

[After dealing with the meteorite...]

[The Ōtsutsuki clan—Momoshiki and his two servants—arrived in Konoha! But the moment they set foot in the village, you detected them.]

[You engaged them in a brief battle, ultimately killing all three.]

Naruto was stunned as he read the description.

"What? Ryan are you that strong?!" Naruto exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine shock. There was no exaggeration in his reaction—it was pure disbelief. He knew all too well what this meant.

When Momoshiki and his companions invaded Konoha, Naruto fought against the trio himself. The strength those three possessed was no joke. Though he hadn't gone all out during that battle, fearing the destruction of the village, he could still sense their overwhelming power.

If he had been the one to face those three alone, victory would have been nearly impossible. Even with help, the best outcome would likely have been a hard-fought, narrow victory. After all, the Ōtsutsuki clan was a force to be reckoned with. Their strength was beyond anything ordinary.

But Ryan? He managed to take on all three and kill them instantly, relying solely on his own power. How powerful must Ryan be to accomplish such a feat?

As Naruto wrestled with his shock, the other Hokages were equally stunned. They had always known Ryan was strong, but they hadn't imagined his strength could reach such a level. They, too, had witnessed the power of Momoshiki and his servants when they came to Naruto's aid. Those three were undeniably formidable.

The fact that Ryan had defeated them so effortlessly left everyone reeling.

The special abilities those three possessed were incredibly difficult to counter. If they coordinated their attacks, even Hashirama might struggle to say he could easily defeat them. But Ryan? He managed to take them out in an instant!

At that moment, everyone turned to look at Ryan as if he were a monster. Yet Ryan himself remained unfazed. He understood his strength well. Though the three opponents seemed formidable, they didn't possess any true top-tier power. Moreover, their lack of coordination made them ineffective in battle. If Kaguya had the battle IQ of Uchiha Madara, the Fourth Shinobi War wouldn't have ended so favorably for Naruto or any living being on the planet.

As everyone processed this, the light curtain flickered with new information. The ratings for Ryan's world were about to be revealed.

[Fourth Hokage Ryan's World - World Power]

[Final World Strength Score: 2400 points]

[Note: First-level Hokage world evaluation points range from 10-1000; second-level world evaluation points range from 1000-10000, and so on.]

"What?!"

"This can't be real! An increase of 600 points? That's absurd!"

Hashirama stared at the ratings with wide eyes. "No way… How am I supposed to catch up with him now?"

Madara, with a teasing grin, turned to his rival. "Oh, so now you understand what it feels like to be number two, don't you, Hashirama?"

Hashirama scowled and shot back, "Quiet, you number three."

Naruto chuckled and added, "Hey, old man Madara, let's get this straight: I'm number two, the Second Hokage is number three, and you're bringing up the rear at number four."

Tobirama, with a stern look, cut in. "Brat, Don't get too ahead of yourself. We haven't even seen the full rankings yet."

The room erupted in shock as they saw the ratings. Twenty-four hundred points! This was an unprecedented score. After so many meetings, it was the first time the world had advanced over 2000 points! And, of course, it was Ryan's world that set the new record. No one had forgotten—it was Ryan's world that had first exceeded a thousand points, too.
