Uchiha Naori at this point in time should have already been deceased for quite some time, perhaps having died in one of the wars.
Her father, Big Brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece, and some familiar friends had also been dead for a long time.
In that world, the only person Naori could be related to was probably Shisui.
After all, he was Kagami's grandson.
The Fugaku family could also barely count, but the people in the original world had never met Naori at all.
They only knew of such a predecessor and had only learned her identity as creator of Izanami.
"When are we leaving then? Do we need to prepare anything?"
Torifu shook his head. "The situation is completely unknown, so we can't really prepare. I still need to talk to Minato and Yahiko and bring them along."
"Alright, you go ahead then."
After the barrier was removed, the couple rose together.
Naori returned to the house to calm her emotions. She had learned too many things today that needed to be digested.
She had never imagined that her husband's ancestor was not from this world but some kind of Sword Immortal.
Nor had she thought that one day she would be able to go to another world and see Konoha. Speaking of which, she felt a little anticipation.
She wondered how the Uchiha Clan was doing in that world.
According to what Torifu said, the ancestor had only come to this world, so the other world did not have the Kumotsuru Clan.
So, who was her final partner in that other world?
Naori couldn't help but be curious, but she felt that there couldn't be a better partner than Torifu.
"I hope we get a chance to chat together."
Naori had a small hope, but this wish was definitely impossible to realize.
Because Uchiha Naori in the original world had been dead for a long time, and the Uchiha Clan was also declining.
It had reached the very conclusion Naori had hoped to avoid: being ostracized and feared by the entire village.
Meanwhile, the members of the clan were incredibly arrogant and conceited.
At this moment, Torifu placed a call to Minato.
On the other end of the phone, Minato was working diligently. After a day of handling official duties, he wasn't perfectly proficient, but he was much more skilled than when he started.
His speed had also improved.
"What? Big Brother, you want me to come home now? Did something happen?"
"I have something to tell you. Hurry back and leave the work to the puppet."
Minato reluctantly agreed. "Alright."
It was his first day on the job, and his Big Brother was forcing him to slack off. If this got out, how could he manage the village!
His Big Brother had better have something serious to discuss!
Minato used the Flying Thunder God and instantly returned to the Kumotsuru Clan territory, where he saw Yahiko standing obediently in front of Torifu.
"Come over here quickly. I have something very important to tell you."
Minato didn't get annoyed. He sat down next to Torifu, waiting to hear what his Big Brother had to say.
"What I'm going to tell you is about another Shinobi world."
This opening was a shock, completely baffling Minato and Yahiko.
"Another Shinobi world? Big Brother, can you explain that more clearly?"
Torifu nodded, then repeated everything he had told Naori to the two of them, from beginning to end.
When Torifu finished speaking, Yahiko and Minato's mouths were wide open, their eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.
"Master, are you telling the truth? There is another Konoha and Land of Fire in another world!"
Torifu smiled slightly. "Of course. It is a world that is essentially completely the same as ours."
Seeing that Minato and Yahiko had developed a keen interest, Torifu continued, "However, that world doesn't have my ancestor Kumotsuru Kajin, so it doesn't have the Kumotsuru Clan, and it doesn't have me."
"Therefore, that world might have gone through various wars, destructions, and deaths. Many people you are familiar with might not be there, so you should be mentally prepared."
Minato and Yahiko swallowed. Minato was thinking of Kushina, and Yahiko was thinking of Konan.
Yahiko seemed to recall something and said, "Since that world doesn't have Master, then Konan and I should still be in Amegakure."
They were orphaned street children when they were young, already stealing and scavenging at the age of four or five.
If they hadn't met Master, they might have been beaten to death by now.
Therefore, Yahiko was very worried about how his counterpart and Konan were doing in that world.
"Then, Big Brother, since we are truly going to another Shinobi world, shouldn't we prepare some things?"
Minato had initially accepted the idea of an alternate Shinobi world. He felt his Big Brother wouldn't lie to him, as there was no benefit in it.
Torifu did not answer directly. "It's up to you. You can bring what you need, but I don't recommend taking too much."
Minato and Yahiko immediately went to pack the items they would need.
When they were done packing, Torifu was speechless.
They had brought various cooking utensils, electronic products, and Yahiko even wanted to bring a bicycle.
Seeing that the two of them were taking this a little too casually, Torifu threw away everything they had brought, leaving them only some food and water for the journey.
"The situation on the other side is uncertain. We are going to investigate, not to travel. Both of you need to be more reserved."
Yahiko, having been reprimanded, immediately nodded profusely. "Understood, Master. It won't happen again."
Although he was already an adult, Yahiko was still like a big child, always needing Torifu to discipline him.
Even Konan sometimes couldn't stand it and took Torifu's place in disciplining Yahiko.
"Alright, go about your business. Minato, remember to greet the Kage. Also, give them a gift from you, and then let them be on their way."
There was only a day and a half left, and there wasn't enough time to host the Kage.
Moreover, they didn't know how long they would be gone.
If they caused a Rip Van Winkle-like scenario, that would be terrible.
However, judging by the timing of the events, this parallel world should be slightly ahead of Torifu's world.
The Kushina in that world was about to give birth, yet the Kushina in the Kumotsuru Clan territory was still resting and was very relaxed every day.
"Okay, Big Brother. I'll meet with my Second Sister-in-law and the Kage this afternoon, and try to send them off by tomorrow morning."
