More Power Stones and comnts, guys!

Hatake Sakumo was worried about his son, who hadn't returned ho yet, so he had no choice but to go out and look for him—only to find an unexpected commotion outside… houses tightly shut, empty inside, shops and bars deserted, streets devoid of people… Sakumo's only thought was: 'Where did everyone go?'

This was not an everyday occurrence.

On his way, he encountered an ANBU ninja who briefly told him what had happened, his tone laced with obvious disdain. It seed the ANBU feared Sakumo for his strength, but had no respect for him as a person.

Sakumo sighed inwardly at his recent reputation, but was surprised by what had appeared seemingly out of nowhere that morning: the Art Store, now surrounded by nearly all the people of Konoha. "Looks like my son is there, too."

And so, it ca to the mont when he t the store owner personally… Rob was wearing a sleek black suit, the Konoha headband tied around his arm. From afar, he looked like a businessman, not a ninja!

'I'm really not a ninja, I'm just a mangaka…' Rob thought to himself.

Not because he disliked being a ninja, but because it simply wasn't necessary…

Being a ninja was fun, sure, but being a mangaka in a ninja world was far more enjoyable—causing huge changes in the world just by sitting there and using your brush… wasn't that even more fun?

Indeed, Rob was just a mangaka, peaceful by nature, preferring to make peace with everyone—even villains. This temperant had been shaped in prison on Planet Earth, back when he was a free man. Then, he was completely different… taking whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, seeing no one as equal, arrogant, despotic, refusing to bow to anyone.

But after being captured and subjected to brutal physical and psychological torture, that nature was broken, and his outlook on life changed completely.

'The true winner is the one who spends the least and gains the most,' Rob thought as he observed the man of low spirits before him.

This man had failed a mission trying to save his comrades, choosing lives over honor—but he did so among n without honor.

In the end, he found himself alone, facing the consequences of his failure, of course, manipulated in the shadows by Danzo, while Hiruzen turned a blind eye… a man of integrity like that was led to his doom.

'Or at least, that would have happened… but here with , it won't happen except in the pages of my manga.'

The smile on Rob's face was genuine as he stared at Sakumo. How could it not be? He was looking at a moving bag of endless Art Coins—uh… I an, a noble man who greatly values relationships.

(Note from the author: Rob's new character is fascinating, even for . The One Piece world's Rob would be extrely proud of this man.)

"I guess you're looking for Kakashi, right? Don't worry, co with —I'll take you to where your adorable little son is sitting." Rob led the way, paying no attention to Sakumo's chaotic thoughts at the mont.

…

[— "I get it! Is it a trap? Right?!!?" [[Konohamaru]]

"A… Are you all right, honored grandson?!"

"And, for the record, there are no traps here!!" [[Master Ebisu, Tutor to Konohamaru]]

Naruto was surprised to see a child enter the hall out of nowhere.

(What's going on? Who's the kid?)

Ebisu was also shocked to see Naruto: (You?? Don't tell it's… our village disgrace… the so-called human form of the Nine-Tailed Fox!)

"Aha, so you tripped ! It was you! Right?!!!" Konohamaru lunged at Naruto, accusing him of setting the trap, but Naruto didn't stay silent:

"You fell over your own feet!!"

"Unhand him, Naruto! That boy happens to be the grandson of our revered lord, the Third Hokage!" Ebisu exclaid, warning Naruto.

"So take your best shot! I dare you!" thought Konohamaru internally: (They always do this, once they know I'm the Hokage's grandson…)

(Too afraid of ? Just like Master Four Eyes there, and everyone else in town… hah!)

Konohamaru thought Naruto, like anyone else, would freeze with fear once he knew his identity as the Hokage's grandson—but unusually, Naruto punched him on the head:

"LIKE I CARE, STUPID!"—]

…

This scene left the Third Hokage speechless.

Not only did he not appear in this manga as his "old" self, but shockingly, it turned out he had a grandson!

"My useless son married and had a child!? Konohamaru? That must be my nasake!"

Hiruzen stroked his beard, smiling so widely that his molars were visible.

"Damn you, Naruto! Why would you hit my beloved grandson!? Such courage, striking him right in front of my 'old' counterpart!"

Hiruzen wondered internally, "Is he the son of Haji or Asuma?"

The Third Hokage currently had two sons: the younger, Asuma, now six years old, in his first year at the Ninja Academy… and the older, Haji Sarutobi, likely Konohamaru's father in the manga, currently ten years old, also in the academy.

(Note from the author: Haji Sarutobi is a na I created; there's no official canon na for Konohamaru's father, since he hasn't appeared in the manga. Traditionally, it's known that part of the ANBU and his wife worked directly under the Third Hokage.)

Hiruzen was extrely curious and amazed, seeing a grandson he presumably had, in the future… He didn't know how to feel about it. It would be wonderful if he lived to see his grandson Konohamaru…

"This manga really gives good luck. I love this… Where is Rubirō-kun? I want to ask him how he ca up with the idea of drawing my grandson…"

The Third Hokage looked around but didn't find Rob. Before he returned his attention to the manga events, his expression stiffened as he saw Rob walking beside a familiar face: Hatake Sakumo!

The man he had recently ignored.

…

"Hokage's grandson?!"

"Really! What a cute boy~."

"Strange… can kids his age really think this way?!"

"Hahaha!! He wants to learn Naruto's special Ninjutsu seduction technique!"

"Oh my, this is funny… hahaha! What a naughty little kid… I wonder who his father is…"

"I heard the Lord Hokage has two children… could it be…?"

"I really don't understand… don't tell this is what will happen in the future!?"

"Who drew this comic!? I'm so curious about him, could he be a prophet from the future!?"

"I heard there's a great sage hiding on Mount Myōboku who can foresee the future. Did this man rely on his prophecies to draw this manga?"

The excited crowd of readers imrsed themselves in Chapter Two, eagerly discussing the events.

The sense of strangeness surrounding the events added a fun, mysterious layer to the story.
