In the world of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.
Minato had not yet taken action against other nations.
Because it had not been long since the Nine-Tails Rampage had passed.
And with his son just born.
Minato had been quietly consolidating.
Devoting more effort to caring for his family.
And also, restoring the Leaf to its pre-chaos level.
Continuously strengthening the ninjas' power.
All these actions were preparations for future moves.
Minato understood one thing very clearly.
Although his world did not have the rapid progress of other nations as in Hashirama's world,
It still had its own advantages.
That was, other nations had no defenses against the current Leaf.
In the eyes of other nations,
The Leaf at this time had just survived a crisis that nearly destroyed the country.
Now able to survive and restore its former peace,
Recuperating and rebuilding was already considered fortunate.
Little did they know, Minato and the others had the help of other Hokages.
His own strength had also become far greater than before!
Now, he not only possessed powers like the Marine Six Styles, greatly enhancing his taijutsu and physical abilities,
But also spatial-type Devil Fruits like the Door-Door Fruit.
Combined with his Flying Thunder God Technique,
His methods could be described as appearing and disappearing mysteriously, making them impossible to guard against.
He was once the Golden Flash.
Now, he could even leave no trace for others to see,
And they would die directly under his attacks.
During this period,
The outside world was unaware of any movements from Minato.
In reality, using his Door-Door Fruit and Flying Thunder God Technique,
Minato had already visited the surrounding small nations.
Conducting much intelligence reconnaissance.
After this reconnaissance,
Minato obtained a great deal of effective information and intelligence.
Learning the actual levels of these surrounding nations,
And the strength of their ninjas.
Minato, together with his team of strategists,
Prepared many detailed reports.
All in preparation for future action!
After this period of consolidation,
Minato finally began to take action!
He started moving against the surrounding small nations.
Launching wars!
Not rushing to engage with major nations like the Land of Earth or the Land of Wind just yet.
First targeting the small nations.
With overwhelming intelligence advantages,
The surrounding small nations could be easily taken without even paying a severe price.
Minato planned to annex the surrounding small nations first.
Slowly encroaching upon other regions!
In the world of the Sixth Hokage Obito.
Obito finally began his own plans.
He learned from Aoki's methods.
The first step was to target the surrounding nations.
Following Aoki's example, he first took control of the smaller neighboring countries with weak resistance.
Step by step, he gradually completed his annexation.
This process went very smoothly.
Obito's own strength was formidable.
With the Flame-Flame Fruit in hand, a casual release could unleash a massive-scale Fire Release.
The ninjas of the smaller nations had never witnessed such a spectacle.
They were all terrified by this Fire Release.
Some, knowing they were no match, could only surrender.
Others were so frightened that, to save their lives, they surrendered without any resistance.
Thus, under Obito's leadership.
The territory of the Land of Fire quickly expanded.
Of course, the other nations were not fools.
The Land of Fire's actions immediately drew the attention of the surrounding major powers.
Neighboring major nations began to grow wary of the Land of Fire.
In the world of the First Madara Uchiha.
External battles were effortlessly easy.
Madara Uchiha's strength was simply overwhelming.
Not only did he possess the formidable Mangekyō Sharingan.
He also had the Rinnegan.
And the Hashirama Sage Body, which granted him an unimaginable amount of Chakra, allowing him to release large-scale Ninjutsu with exaggerated power.
He even wielded a divine weapon like the Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka.
With so many powerful abilities combined.
He had virtually no opponents!
Even without these powerful enhancements, Madara Uchiha alone could take on a large group of Jonin.
With these abilities, he became an invincible presence on the battlefield.
With a single swing of Ryujin Jakka's blade.
A large number of ninjas would fall.
With such overwhelming power, Madara didn't even need strategies.
He simply pushed forward with brute force.
With such ease, he led the Leaf ninjas to attack the Land of Earth.
The Tsuchikage fought against Madara Uchiha.
But he was no match at all.
He only managed to release one Ninjutsu before being severely injured by Madara.
The other ninjas were even more powerless to fight back.
Madara cut through the resisting forces as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.
Seeing this situation.
The Land of Earth had no choice.
To avoid total annihilation.
They could only surrender.
The Land of Earth was conquered almost at lightning speed.
The entire battle didn't even last a day.
It took less time than the ninjas spent traveling.
Without pause, Madara continued his assault on the Land of Lightning!
The Raikage heard about what happened to the Land of Earth.
He was still defiant.
Determined to show Madara what true super speed was.
And unstoppable attack power!
Then.
Unsurprisingly, the Raikage was defeated.
Did Madara Uchiha, with his Rinnegan and Sage Body, come to play games?
The Raikage didn't even finish his threats.
He was mercilessly defeated by a massive-scale Sage Art from Madara.
No matter what Taijutsu or Ninjutsu the Raikage tried.
He was severely injured halfway through and couldn't continue.
If even the Raikage was like this.
Many other ninjas also fell under the massive-scale Sage Art.
The remaining ninja, even if unwilling, had no choice but to surrender.
After Madara Uchiha unleashed such a terrifying Ninjutsu, he wasn't even breathing heavily.
If they dared to resist any further, it was likely that all of Kumogakure would be wiped out.
And so, in a very short time, Madara Uchiha successfully conquered the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning!
In the original world of the Third Hokage Kakashi, his foundation was actually the weakest.
In other worlds, all kinds of powerful figures were in positions of authority, pulling off all sorts of incredible feats.
Kakashi had been thrust into the role of Third Hokage in a crisis after the previous Third was ousted.
He himself hadn't received much enhancement, only gaining the Thunder Fruit.
Of course, this was relative to the other formidable Hokages.
After eating the Thunder Fruit, Kakashi had become countless times stronger than before.
His speed was now almost like teleportation, and his offensive power allowed him to easily wield large-scale Lightning Release.
At the moment, he was still dealing with the various messes left behind by the previous Third Hokage and couldn't launch attacks on other countries.
Meanwhile, the Chunin Exams began just as they had originally.
After Orochimaru painstakingly disguised himself and infiltrated the Leaf Village, he heard a piece of news that shocked him greatly: the Third Hokage was actually dead?
The plan he had prepared had somehow completed itself without him doing anything.
Orochimaru quickly changed his plans.
