2 Chapter 002- Sarutobi Hiruzen

"Do you have any other question left?" Aalia asked.

"No, I don't." Salman replied.

"Then before I send you to the Naruto world, I have three gifts for you. I have given a lot of thoughts before choosing these three things that will benefit you." Aalia first gave him two objects.

"The door shaped object is an artifact that will allow you to create a passageway to another anime world that has similar or lower power level compared to Naruto world. Also, this thing can only be used once and the passageway will be permanent. So, think carefully before using it."

"The paper shaped object will allow you to copy the abilities of a person as long as you write the name in that paper. This is also one time usable and will disappear after you use it. The only restriction is that you will only be able copy the ability of a person that is alive."

"Also, remember that this paper will only work on ninjas. So, if you write a name of an Otsutsuki or some powerful character living there who isn't a ninja, this paper will not work."

"The last thing I will be giving you is to let you keep the ability of your real body. Even though the quality of your body is far worse than me, you will be invincible in the Naruto world with it as it will not only make you unkillable, it will also allow you adapt to anything."

[A/N: I will explain about the qualities of his body in the future chapters.]

"So, what do you think about these three gifts? If you have any problem, you can say it, I will change it." Aalia said.

"No, I am satisfied." Salman replied.

"Ok then. It's time for you to go to the Naruto world. Remember, the character and the timeline you will be getting reincarnated into is random. I just hope you don't get reincarnated into a civilian as that would make your make your life harder. Anyway, off you go. Good luck."

Aalia waved her hand as a blackhole emerged in front of Salman and sucked him in.

…..

"It seems my luck isn't that bad." Salman is reincarnated into the body of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

[A/N: I will be using the name 'Sarutobi Hiruzen' for mc most of the time from now on.]

Sarutobi Hiruzen sorted out the memories in his mind and quicly managed to figure out his current situation. He is now in an important mission with the Second Hokage. They were supposed to meet the second Raikage to discuss about the alliance between the two villages.

But before the meeting could even start, Ginkaku and Kinkaku managed to lay a mortal blow to the Raikage by a sneak attack. Even though Raikage was powerful than them, he wasn't guarding against his own villagers at all and as a result of this, he died.

But story didn't just end there. Ginkakau and Kinkaku kept on attacking Sarutobi and his companions with the help of 20 other elite jonins from the Kumogakure.

[A/N: Kumogakure- Hidden cloud village]

Even though Tobirama Senju is powerful and considered to be the strongest kage alive at the moment, it is impossible for him to fight against 20 elite jonin level ninja along with the Ginkaku and Kinkaku whose strength have already reached the early Kage level.

[A/N: So, I have decided break kage level into three stages. Early stage of kage level, Mid-stage of Kage level and late stage of kage level. After kage level there is Super Kage level which reserved for the ninjas like Hashirama and Madara.]

So, Tobirama ordered everyone to retreat. It has been two days since they have been trying to get away from Kumogakure ninjas who has been chasing them day and night nonstop. For that reason, they have barely been able to take rest in these two days and some of them are already showing extreme exhaustion.

Seeing this, Tobirama told everyone to stop and take a fifteen minutes rest.

'It seems like Tobirama is finally going to stay behind and create a chance for us to escape.' Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself as he remembered the iconic moment in the anime when Tobirama tested him and Danzo to decide who among them is going to be the third hokage.

Hiruzen sat under a tree and took out the paper given by Aalia as he thought, 'Tobirama and Madara should be strongest people alive right now. Now whom should I choose? If Madara was at his peak, I would've chosen him without any hesitation.'

'But the problem is that he is not as strong as he was before fighting with Hashirama. In that battle, he not only lost one of his eyes because the use of Izanagi, his strength should have dropped down to peak Kage level as well. Otherwise, with his arrogant personality, he would have never hid himself from the world even after the death of Hashirama.'

Also, if he really chooses Madara, his identity would be forcefully changed with the power of the paper and make him part of the Uchiha Clan. Considering the attitude Tobirama holds towards the Uchiha, it would be then impossible for Tobirama to give him the position of Hokage.

It can be clearly seen in the original that despite Kagami Uchiha having the same strength as Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tobirama never considered him as a Hokage candidate. At best, he was a tool man who was used to control the Uchiha family.

'So, my next best choice would be Tobirama himself as he is the most powerful ninja alive beside Madara Uchiha.' Sarutobi didn't hesitate more as he directly wrote the name 'Tobirama Senju' in that piece of paper.

As he did so, he clearly felt his body getting stronger and stronger until he finally reached late Kage level. Alongside the increase in strength, he even got the senju bloodline with all the jutsus that has been learned by Tobirama.

Interestingly enough, Hiruzen felt his mind and analytical ability getting stronger as well. He smirked at this discovery and thought, 'This should be my biggest gain.'

At the same time this was happeing, all over the world many people's memory is getting replaced with some new ones. Hiruzen also felt some new memories getting added to his memory, 'So, according to this new memory, my mother is from Senju family and because of her I inherited Senju bloodline traits such as strong body and large chakra amount'

'But since my father is from Sarutobi clan, I still retained the surname Sarutobi. After discovering my talent, Tobirama decided to take me as his student and taught all the things without any reservation. Over the years, I not only mastered all of Tobirama's technique but also became as strong Tobirama himself.'

Even though, the whole history of Sarutobi Hiruzen changed, nobody noticed this change except for sarutobi himself. But he didn't act out of ordinary at all and just rested for the remaining of the time while leaning on a tree.

After the resting period ended, Tobirama gathered everyone and said with his poker face, "If we go on like this, we will die out of exhaustion before even reaching the border. So, I decided to stay behind and hold them while you guys escape.'

Hiruzen was shocked inwardly as the sentences spoke by Tobirama is quite different from the anime. But he kept aside his doubts and quickly said, "Teacher, you are the hokage and it is our duty to protect you. Let me stay behind. You should know that my strength is similar to you. I will be able to hold them back until you manage to safely reach the border."

Tobirama smiled as he heard those sentence and said, "I clearly didn't choose the wrong person. But I can't let you do that as this is my negligence of not bringing enough guards that such a thing happened. Not to mention, you guys are still young and future hope for the Konoha. So, you don't have to try and convince me anymore. I will be the one to stay behind."

Hiruzen showed a heartbroken expression after hearing Tobirama's words. Even though the expression wasn't fully genuine, he felt somewhat sad knowing that Tobirama is going to die. In his first life, Tobirama was one of his favourite characters. But he has to let him die otherwise it would be more troublesome for Hiruzen to be the absolute leader of Konoha.
