Chapter 144: Another World Part 1
---Sunagakure Economy---
Sunagakure is the harshest village among the five great nations in the world. Not only that, but the number of shinobi with water affinity chakra is smaller compared to Konoha.
Shinobi with water affinity can easily use ninjutsu to create ponds, while those without it need to work together, but the result is far weaker compared to someone with the water affinity.
Sunagakure also has the fewest Kekkei Genkai users. Only a few are known to have Kekkei Genkai, such as the Third Kazekage, who had Magnet Release, the Fourth Kazekage, who had Gold Dust Release, and Pakura, who possessed the rare Scorch Release.
Fortunately, the current Third Kazekage, has the ability to use Magnet Release. He can sell iron ore, which is in high demand, even among nobles.
For ordinary people and shinobi, extracting iron from the earth is difficult, but the Third Kazekage can easily extract iron ore by channeling his chakra.
Thanks to him, Sunagakure has something valuable to trade with merchants, and Setsuna is the biggest buyer of iron ore, using it for his technology production.
With the help of Setsuna, Sunagakure has become as prosperous as the other great nations. They no longer face food shortages like they did in the past.
---Kirigakure Is Unstable---
Meanwhile, Kirigakure is the village with the second most Kekkei Genkai users, but unlike Konoha, it is very unstable because of many factor.
Konoha was founded after the Uchiha Clan lost to the Senju Clan, further proving that the Senju were more powerful than the Uchiha. The Senju clan leader willingly dissolved the clan, integrating them into the civilian population. In contrast, Kirigakure was formed out of necessity, with clans forced to unite due to the circumstances.
Furthermore, Kirigakure incorporated unstable clans like the Kaguya into their ranks, leading to more internal conflicts. Their Kage ruled with an iron fist, and in the original timeline, they forced graduating students to kill each other in brutal exams.
Though Setsuna was waiting for the other villages to attack Uzushiogakure, he take care of the people living in Kirigakure.
There was a reason for this, it was due to his Mangekyou Sharingan. The special chakra that entered his brain made him feel responsible for upholding justice and ensuring peace.
Setsuna is an upgraded version of Uchiha Madara, but unlike Madara, Setsuna knows the Naruto plotline and possesses great knowledge. This is why his methods are very different. Additionally, Setsuna trusts Jarvis with his AI program, further enhancing his plans.
---Before Adventure---
"Kagami, are you ready?" asked Setsuna.
"Yes, Sensei." He then turned to his wife. "Chino, I'll be following Sensei for a week. Take care of our son."
"Don't worry, Kagami, just be careful," replied Chino Chinoike.
"Chino, I'm sorry I didn't invite you to come to another planet," said Setsuna. "You're pregnant, and I don't want to put you at risk."
A few days ago, Setsuna had visited Kagami and Chino to discuss the gates to another world. He told them about planets with no chakra and some full of monsters, which piqued their interest.
Unfortunately, since Chino was pregnant, Setsuna didn't want to risk bringing her along to other universes. If they were transported to an apocalyptic world, the baby might be exposed to a virus.
Luckily, Chino understood and didn't push the issue. She allowed Kagami to escort Setsuna to another planet.
Setsuna had a reason for traveling to another world beyond sightseeing; he wanted to learn from these worlds and apply democracy there. He wasn't sure what would happen after his death, and in his past, democracy was only just beginning, whereas before it was a world of nobles.
"Kagami, leave one of your Shadow Clones here," said Setsuna. "Even if we're busy with work, we need to create memories with our families. Your wife is pregnant, so your clone can help her in the kitchen."
"Thank you, Sensei," Kagami smiled and then used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
---History Romance Novel---
In a brightly lit castle, Setsuna and Kagami, who had been hired as bodyguards for a recently cured young lady, stood watching the event unfold.
"The emperor is coming," said the guards.
Setsuna glanced at Kagami, and a look of understanding passed between them.
Following custom, they both lowered their gazes to the floor as his majesty approached the dinner party.
"Ok," said the king, and everyone raised their eyes to look at the emperor.
Setsuna's eyes lingered on the king and those around him. He noticed the mistresses, the crown prince, and the king's illegitimate son.
'It looks like this world isn't a manga world, but a fantasy novel I read in the past,' thought Setsuna. His gaze shifted to the somber-faced mistresses, then to the bastard son, the child of the mistress and the king.
He frowned but reminded himself, 'I need to act like a stone and not do anything foolish.'
However, his patience ran thin. Within ten minutes, the situation escalated from bad to worse. Setsuna had cut off the crown prince's hand.
"Who told you to point at my lady like that?" Setsuna said after cutting off the crown prince's hand.
Marquise Telion frowned, feeling that hiring Kagami and Setsuna had been the biggest mistake of his life.
---Flash back 1 Week Ago---
"What do you think of this place?" asked Setsuna after they had walked around for a while.
"It's dirty, uncivilized, and they're very weak," replied Kagami.
"They don't have chakra in their bodies," said Setsuna.
"Yes, I can't sense any chakra at all. Even civilians back in our world have some chakra that I can detect with my Sharingan, but their bodies are completely different from ours," confirmed Kagami.
Setsuna felt oddly more familiar with this planet than with the shinobi world because the people here lived like they were stuck in the medieval age.
Don't even mention hygiene, these people threw their waste onto the streets, didn't brush their teeth, and much more. He recalled reading about the Black Death in history and seeing firsthand how the poor lived in slums.
There were many poor people here, most of them children surviving by stealing and doing all sorts of things to get by.
"Sensei, I want to help them, but I don't know how," said Kagami.
"We'd need a lot of money to make a difference," replied Setsuna, which made Kagami frown, knowing he didn't have any of this planet's currency. "But don't worry. Doesn't Uzushiogakure have plenty of resources? We can use that to slowly change this world."
"How?" asked Kagami.
"Just watch. I want you to learn the power of having money" smirked Setsuna.
Author's Notes: I'm excited to write an arc or two about Setsuna traveling to another planet. I'll do my best to keep these chapters concise so it doesn't drag on for too long.
I plan to wrap it up in about 3 to 5 chapters before returning to the main storyline.
