Initially, Tsunade had come here hoping to find a way to protect Konoha. With the Konoha Hokage chat group, she decided to take a chance and participate, hoping for some guidance. As soon as she entered, she found her grandfather and great-uncle, who were already deceased, standing before her, causing her to exclaim in disbelief.
"Grandpa?! And Great Uncle?!"
Hearing her voice, both Hashirama and Tobirama turned around, surprised to see Tsunade walking out of the light curtain. Tobirama recognized her instantly, while Hashirama scrutinized Tsunade, especially her jacket with the word "gambling" written on it, a reminder of someone with a gambling addiction from his past.
"Hiss! Are you Tsuna?!"
While Hashirama was shocked to see Tsunade, Tobirama noticed the Hokage hat on her head, showing a thoughtful expression.
As the three stood in shock, a voice broke the silence.
"Ahem, now that we're all here~ Let's have the three Hokages take their seats first! This is the Konoha Hokage chat group. We're all family here, so please sit down, and we can chat slowly!"
After Hokori finished speaking, he smiled and gestured for them to sit.
"Um? Who are you?" Tobirama asked in a deep voice, hearing Hokori's words.
Seeing this, Hokori quickly turned around, revealing the Fourth Hokage title on the back of his robe.
"I am the Fourth Hokage, Hokori!"
"Fourth Generation~"
Looking at the robe, Second Hokage Tobirama nodded slightly. Hashirama, on the other hand, was full of confusion, but he decided to ask questions later. As they were about to sit, Tsunade looked suspiciously at Hokori.
"No~ The Fourth Hokage should be Namikaze Minato!"
Facing Tsunade's questioning, Hokori smiled calmly.
"The world we live in is a separate world. The Konoha Hokage chat group pulls those who become Hokage in these separate worlds into this chat group! As for me~ In the original world, the events are the same as the history you know up to the Fifth Generation. In my parallel world, I successfully replaced the Third Generation and became Hokage ahead of Namikaze Minato!"
Hearing Hokori's answer, Tobirama was the quickest to accept it, especially after seeing Hashirama alive. After listening to Hokori's explanation, he understood everything.
"So that's it~ Since you are the Fourth Generation, Hokori, what about you, Tsunade?"
Facing Tobirama's inquiry, Tsunade was momentarily taken aback but quickly responded: "Fifth Generation~"
"Fifth Generation project?"
Seeing that Tsunade was the Fifth Generation, Tobirama fell into deep thought. Choosing Tsunade as the Fifth Hokage meant significant events must have occurred in Konoha during this period.
At this time, the anxious Hashirama finally absorbed the information. Hearing that Tsunade was the Fifth Hokage gave him a moment of disbelief.
"Tsuna~ Is Konoha Village okay now?"
Hashirama couldn't imagine the state of Konoha Village after Tsunade became Hokage, especially given her gambling habit, which almost always resulted in losses. Seeing her jacket with "gambling" written on it made him fear that Tsunade might have gambled away all of Konoha.
Facing Hashirama's inquiry, Tsunade pondered before slowly replying, "Overall, everything is fine!"
Hearing this response, Hashirama was slightly relieved, as long as Tsunade hadn't gambled away Konoha.
With the three seated, the meeting officially began. Second Hokage Tobirama turned to Hokori and said, "Fourth Generation, since you are the group leader, can you tell us what this chat group does? What can it bring us?"
As Tobirama spoke, First Hokage Hashirama and Fifth Hokage Tsunade also showed curiosity.
Hearing this, Hokori pondered briefly before responding: "At this stage, the chat group's functions have not been fully unlocked. We hold a meeting every three months! Currently, we can only exchange information here, and there's nothing beyond chatting we can do for now."
"However, when the number of people in the chat group reaches five, the world ranking function will be activated! The chat group will rank our respective worlds and issue rewards based on the rankings. As for what the rewards are, I don't know yet!"
As Hokori explained, the three Hokages present showed thoughtful expressions.
"Is that so~"
The group now had a preliminary understanding of the chat group. The specifics of the ranking and rewards would become clear once the fifth person arrived.
While they were contemplating, Hokori shared more significant news.
"When the number of people in the chat group reaches five, another function will be unlocked! That's the cross-world mutual aid function! If any of your worlds faces a major crisis that cannot be resolved, you can choose to ask for help in the chat group! At that time, all Hokages will help solve it together!"
Upon hearing this news, the faces of the three Hokages showed instant shock. They hadn't expected the chat group to have such a capability.
Especially Tsunade, who showed undisguised joy. She had been worried about how to handle it if Pain invaded. She didn't expect to hear such good news. If Grandpa could come to help then, there would be no need to worry about Pain.
This function alone satisfied the three of them immensely.
"Fourth Generation, when can the fifth person be added?!"
Upon receiving the good news, Tsunade asked Hokori anxiously. After all, it concerned Konoha's safety. Hashirama and Tobirama also looked curiously at Hokori when they heard this.
Although they didn't know what crisis Konoha encountered in Tsunade's world, seeing her anxiety indicated it must be serious. As a grandfather, Hashirama felt he had to help when the function was turned on.
"Well, we should wait until the next meeting," Hokori replied.
