Bravo! They are all such a delight.

Hey, readers! Who's up for abandoning the α timeline and shifting the narrative focus over to β full time? There's nothing exciting happening in α right now -- well, nothing that anyone cares about, I'm sure -- and just think how much teasing and humor we could get from β! Plus, Hazō would be back at the start of his adventure with all the knowledge he gathered in the original timeline!
Not all the knowledge. In particular, I noticed in the main part of this chapter that he doesn't have his recently acquired insight that the Great Seal failing was probably caused by the skytowers given to the Pangolins, so that (since that presumably won't be happening this time around) it might be decades or centuries more before the accumulated erosion from Conjura/storage seals/etc. results in Dragon release. In which case he might gather all the Clan bosses for nothing and waste his reputation for when his inevitable mass seal usage on the Seventh Path does cause the release of the Dragons, only later.

Then again, he presumably would still want to establish contact with Arachnid (if only to re-download the Great Seal once he does all the preparatory work), and he knows the Dragons won't have shown up just yet. So maybe it's fine. We'll have to wait and see, I guess!
 
Lord Re-Gōketsu sounds like a dragon ball villain
We were always Leaf's villain, according to the Hag Clan... we just do it with more style than Orochimaru or the Akatsuki 😎

Nah that was for Ami's brain-dead plan to resurrect Pain 🗿
"You could rez Pain and philosophically seduce him to Uplift?"

"Or I could just murder all his polycule members best friends friends before they find him in the Afterlife?"
 
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate.
What are you thankful for?
I'm thankful that our benevolent QMs haven't decided that Kakuzu would have found Pain, explained Akatsuki's plan, nipped our potential relationship with him in the bud (thereby invalidating Project: Omnicule) and made him find the rift scar on the other side.

Hazō's knowledge is based on the point in the timeline when the original non-canon interlude that got him isekai'd was set, which is a pain to keep track of, but it would be very weird otherwise.

You assume.

I'm aware - not claiming it's inaccurate, just noting that there would be certain disadvantages to transmigrating to Beta. (Though it would be super interesting to read a version where Hazō got continuous memory updates of what was happening in Alpha.)

Even worse than you suspect

PAIN: I have returned to-

OROCHIMARU: no chakra? Nom

I'm down!

By the way, if we get a Game Over in the α timeline would y'all actually be amenable to a New Game + situation? Hypothetically.
