The Strongest Hokage: "@Skill Issue, you say you know everything about me? I don't believe it!"
Renji spoke his first words since joining the Union.
The Union's group chat suddenly fell silent.
At that moment, everyone was stunned!
It had been a while since Renji joined the Union as a new member, and they figured he must've already studied the different features of the Union's system. So for him to speak so boldly—and for that to be his first message—meant only one of three things: this guy was either a fool, incredibly arrogant, or an absolute boss with unshakable confidence.
Considering his nickname, The Strongest Hokage, and how he'd been so quiet since joining, they all came to the same conclusion:
Renji was a total boss.
But was Renji really as strong as they assumed?
Well… barely.
In terms of power, Renji was comparable to Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, without the Kyuubi. His talents in space-time ninjutsu were remarkable, likely due to the quirks of transmigration. He surpassed both Tobirama and Minato in some applications of the Flying Thunder God technique. However, Minato also had a solid foundation in sealing arts thanks to his wife, Uzumaki Kushina—so in a direct fight, Renji estimated they'd be evenly matched.
That said, once Kyuubi chakra entered the picture, Renji admitted he'd be on the losing side. At best, he could hold his ground without actually winning.
In the world of Naruto, Renji's power level was high Kage—bordering on elite. Still, he fell short of the top-tier monsters: Six Paths users, Sage of Six Paths descendants, and genetic freaks like Madara or Kaguya.
Now place him in the super dimensional union.
Against Nara, HCLW, Liu Zhigang, Rokan (in-game), Lin Jie, Lee Changseon—Renji knew he couldn't beat them, at least not yet. The best he could hope for was trading blows without being completely stomped. Still, among the newer or mid-tier members, he stood out. Most of them would see him as a boss-tier figure.
So was Renji's confidence? Not entirely misplaced.
After a moment of stunned silence, Tony Stark brought everyone back to reality.
Japsterdam: "Newbie, judging by your nickname, you must be pretty strong, but don't overestimate yourself. There are some real powerhouses here."
Japsterdam: "Like me. I'm one of the strongest in my chat group's world. I'm the Empress of the Netherlands and have already conquered Belgium."
King of Violence: "Overestimate? Looks like Miss Strange is talking too much again…"
King of Violence: "Let's not talk about her plans to destroy Belgium and her obvious racism toward the country."
King of Violence: "It'd make sense if you were Dutch, but you're nothing more than a Japanese girl with a few screws loose."
Japsterdam: "…"
Mymy sighed inwardly. Why did that Muscle Brain always target her? Was it because she joked that he was a washed-up old man when he joined? Not chill.
Japsterdam: "Just let me dream…"
@Japsterdam has disconnected.
Tyrant of Life: "Newbie, go check the memory copies and compare your strength. Unfortunately, we only have copies from two worlds. Either our interim president is super stingy or she knows nothing."
Tyrant of Life: "Only the Little Celestial Yaksha and the Hero of China memory copies have been uploaded, and even those are incomplete."
Skill Issue: "Sorry… I should have watched more anime."
@Japsterdam has connected.
Japsterdam: "Well, what can you do. The only comfort after dealing with a muscle brain is making fun of the interim president."
Skill Issue: "...."
Divine Twilight: "Everyone, I just found something interesting. Since Renji joined, our guild now has fifteen members. That means we can finally buy dimensional talismans and start multi-world travel missions."
That grabbed everyone's attention.
In the world of Ebony Blade, Olivia Valedstorm spat out her tea.
In the Kengan world, Hina—wearing a black training suit and sipping water—suddenly choked, coughing hard and spilling some. The noise made everyone in the gym turn their heads in curiosity.
In Super String Universe, Huijin Park chuckled softly, which inadvertently attracted the attention of others, making them believe that she was actually going crazy.
Everyone paused in stunned silence for a few seconds.
Japsterdam: "Rokan, bro, please have mercy. I'm just a girl, you wouldn't hit a girl, right?"
King of Violence: "So Mymy you're calling me by name, trying to appeal for salvation? Sorry, I believe in gender equality."
King of Violence: "Mrs. Queen of Dutch land , I'm only 30 points away from 500. If I make it, I might just visit Your world to teach you a lesson. Screenshot attached."
King of Violence: "Either I teach you a lesson or I make sure your sister Coco does."
Japsterdam: "Anything But not coco she is Scary when she is Angry"
That's when Lin Jie spoke up.
The Strongest Hero: "@The Strongest Hokage, newbie, have you checked out the memory copies? How strong are you really? Can you place top 5 in the group?"
The Strongest Hokage: "Just so-so. Nara, Hardcore Leveling Warrior, Liu Zhigang … they're interesting."
Renji responded like a true boss. With Flying Thunder God in hand, he feared no one.
He didn't even need to read the memory files; he knows almost everything about most of the worlds they were based on anyway. But acting like that only made him more mysterious.
His casual tone only reinforced what others already believed: the newcomer was a big deal.
Still, they're surprised that he knows the real names of several members of the group.
Apparently, he has information that the interim president lacks, which is good for them since it can help them with their world's problems.
Various decided to wait and see how everything unfolds.
Fallen Angel from the Dark Plane: "Huh? What kind of delusion is that? That's just pure chuuni energy!"
Carmine: "@Acting President Skill Issue, Can you confirm the identity of the new member? Everyone is curious…"
The interim president may not have contributed much to the group. Hell, one could say that even Mymy, the extreme nationalist and hater of all things Japan, knows more than her.
But at the end of the day, the interim president has shared memory copies with the group. They may only be two, and they're incomplete, but it's something.
And for those seeking to change their futures, it's a good thing in itself for the two who have memory copies.
"The Strongest Hokage, huh… who could he be?"
She had noticed Renji early on. The reason she hadn't spoken yet was because she wanted to observe him longer and analyze his identity based on how he acted in the chat.
But the guy said so little that she couldn't form a clear picture.
Then she had an idea—it was time to show off a bit.
Acting President Su Lenglen: "@The Strongest Hokage, who are you? First Generation Senju Hashirama? Second Generation Senju Tobirama? Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen? Fourth Generation Namikaze Minato? Sixth Generation Hatake Kakashi? Or perhaps… the Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Naruto?"
The chat froze again.
Kori had just named all the possible Hokages one by one.
And in doing so, she casually flexed her vast knowledge of the Naruto world.
No one dared speak for a few seconds… and all eyes were on Renji.
Was he ready to reveal the truth?
Would he keep up the act?
The real game was about to begin.
