Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Parallel Ninja World.

"His Majesty!"

"The world's assimilation rules are ruthless!"

"The void turbulence could tear apart spatial nodes at any moment!"

"I strongly suggest that all personnel stationed here must be withdrawn immediately!"

"Otherwise, once the barrier between the two worlds is completely closed..."

"Those imperial soldiers who remained in the parallel ninja world will likely be crushed to dust by the overlap of world dimensions!"

"..."

The light projected from the communicator flickered continuously in the void.

On Orochimaru's pale face, his snake-like eyes shrank to their limit.

"allow."

Chiba floated beneath the sky, her robes fluttering in the wind.

Communication was cut off.

Chiba lowered her eyes and looked down at the desolate and broken land.

Nara Shikajo, with nearly a hundred elite ninjas, is holding the edge of the teleportation portal.

however.

The wind howled, and sand and gravel filled the sky.

The entire Death Forest is collapsing in large sections.

"Lucheng"

"Organization to retreat."

"Everyone, return to the home empire immediately!"

Chiba took a step forward and instantly landed directly above the teleportation array.

"Yes, sir!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Currently, there are only ninety-eight elite troops gathered near the teleportation array!"

"The remaining hundred or so ANBU and Jonin from various clans are scattered in the border areas of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water, clearing out the remaining forces."

"They didn't have time to get back before the space collapsed!"

Nara Shikajo knelt on one knee, his expression tense.

"It's alright."

"You all go in first, leave the rest to me."

Chiba's expression was cold and he didn't hesitate at all.

Done.

Chiba clasped his hands together.

boom!

Accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke, hundreds of shadow clones appeared out of thin air.

Each shadow clone was wrapped in extremely dazzling Flying Thunder God Technique runes!

boom!

Hundreds of shadow clones transformed into streams of light, disappearing into the torn folds of space!

Thousands of miles away.

On the edge of the ruins of the Land of Lightning.

Two Imperial Uchiha Jonin in charge of reconnaissance were looking at the collapsing mountain below with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Space is being annihilated, what kind of power is this...?"

hum!

It shimmered with golden light.

Chiba's shadow clone appeared behind the two of them without warning.

The two Uchiha ninjas turned around abruptly, and upon seeing who it was, quickly bowed in respect.

"His Majesty!"

Without saying a word, the shadow clone placed its hands on the shoulders of the two people.

Hold your breath.

Swish!

Space distortion.

The three of them vanished from the Land of Lightning in an instant.

The same scene is playing out wildly in the deserts of the Land of Wind, the seas of the Land of Water, and the canyons of the Land of Earth!

It only took thirteen seconds.

The imperial forces scattered throughout the parallel ninja world were dragged back to the Forest of Death by hundreds of shadow clones.

Hundreds of golden rays exploded one after another, and countless figures fell around the teleportation gate.

Although many soldiers were completely bewildered, they couldn't understand the reason for the cataclysmic event.

But the iron discipline was ingrained in their bones, and no one asked a single unnecessary question!

"Everyone, come in!"

Nara Shikajo shouted at the top of his lungs.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

More than two hundred elite imperial troops rushed into the portal in an orderly fashion.

Two and a half minutes.

The last Imperial Jonin leaped into the light barrier.

In the entire Forest of Death, only Chiba remained, standing alone in the void.

He looked down.

The former territories of the five great nations have been completely reduced to countless colorful fragments.

Mountains, rivers, and oceans are all rushing madly toward the main plane through the spacetime tunnel connecting the two worlds!

Chiba turned around, took a step, and completely disappeared into the light curtain.

Boom!

next moment.

The interdimensional portal shattered, utterly annihilated into nothingness.

……

The main world.

The Province of Wind, the Dragon Vein Underground Palace.

More than two hundred Imperial ninjas who had just returned stood haphazardly in the main hall.

The stone slabs beneath their feet were wobbling!

The entire underground palace emitted a muffled groan, as if an ancient behemoth was rolling wildly!

Several ninjas skilled in flying techniques quickly rushed out of the underground palace and hovered high in the sky, gazing at the earth.

The scene before them completely overturned their understanding!

The edge of the vast desert is extending outward at a visible speed!

At the horizon, the once low, barren hills seem to have been uprooted from the earth by an invisible deity, transforming into towering, cloud-piercing peaks!

Even more terrifying is the natural energy in the air.

That thick, viscous feeling almost turned into water mist, frantically drilling into the bone marrow of every ninja through their pores!

"Oh my god..."

"The empire's territory... has expanded at least two times!"

A Jonin from the Uchiha clan clung tightly to the rock wall, muttering in a dry voice.

Chiba floats above the dome of the underground palace.

The six-tomoe wheel of reincarnation rotated slightly, scanning the entire continent.

Mountains are rising, rivers are widening...

The underlying rules of the world have become more profound and robust than ever before!

But Chiba's brows slowly furrowed together.

"strangeness……"

"All the matter and energy from parallel worlds have been incorporated into it."

"But where did the tens of millions of civilians, ninjas, and even birds and beasts of that world go?"

It's completely empty!

On the newly emerged vast land, there was no trace of any living creature!

Could it be that at the moment the worlds merged, all living beings in the other dimension were wiped out by the dimensional storm?

boom!

Just as Chiba was deep in thought.

The entire ninja world continent was suddenly shaken!

Expansion has stopped.

Followed by.

hum-

Countless transparent ripples, invisible to the naked eye, silently enveloped the entire empire!

The capital city, the four major provinces, towns, and villages.

Tens of millions of imperial subjects froze in place at that moment!

Inside the Dragon Vein Underground Palace.

Uchiha Itachi's figure suddenly swayed.

He pressed his temple tightly with one hand, his pupils contracting violently.

A vast and chaotic array of images flooded his mind like a burst dam!

That was an incredibly dark and hopeless memory.

The resolute figure of Brother Zhishui as he gouged out his eyes and jumped off the cliff...

The oppressive and ruthless schemes of Konoha's high-ranking officials...

And that sorrowful figure standing in the moonlight, holding a ninja sword, walking towards the clan's territory...

These are all memories of Itachi Uchiha from a parallel world!

"Ughhhh!"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly knelt down on the ground.

He dug his hands into the cracks in the rock so hard that his knuckles turned white and cracked!

Even though he had personally visited the parallel ninja world and met Itachi Uchiha from that world!

Even though he told the other party in person that everything was due to the oppression of the Konoha higher-ups and that he didn't need to blame himself!

But at that time, Itachi Uchiha always stood from the perspective of an observer.

And now.

He finally understood the other person's entire situation!

He finally understood what kind of life the other person was living!

"High-ups..."

"Shimura Danzo..."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi..."

Itachi Uchiha's chakra was almost out of control.

The crimson Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, and a line of bloody tears flowed from the corner of its eye!

A terrifying aura of malevolence and rage swept through the underground palace!

On what grounds?

Why should the Uchiha from another world be reduced to being discarded by the Konoha leadership?

Why should my other self from another world have to live in such a hell?

Neji Hyuga, who was standing to the side, also groaned and staggered back half a step.

Images of another world appeared in his mind.

The child branded with the Caged Bird Curse watched his father's coffin being carried away in the pouring rain.

The cold compromise from the higher-ups, the unsparing reprimand from the main family...

Hyuga Neji clenched his fists tightly, the veins around his Byakugan bulging menacingly!

"To quell the Cloud Village's extortion, she forced her own younger brother to his death..."

"Is this the village protected by the Will of Fire?"

"Ridiculous! Absurd! Disgusting!"

Hyuga Neji gritted his teeth and sneered, his anger finding no outlet.

at the same time.

Chiba hovered in mid-air, looking down at his excited subordinates.

His six-tomoe Sharingan flickered slightly, keenly detecting the anomaly.

Uchiha Shisui stood in the distance, his expression calm and unresponsive.

Chiba understood.

"I see……"

"Same-site memory resonance".

"Shisui from the parallel world died long ago."

Therefore, the still water of the main world did not receive any memories.

"And those who are alive are fully inheriting the historical and life trajectories of that world!"

Not just the ninjas in the underground palace.

At this moment.

A massive upheaval is brewing in every corner of the empire!

In the province of fire, in a remote farm.

An old farmer suddenly threw down his hoe, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.

In the memories he inherited.

His entire family died in Konoha in the 56th year.

A band of bandits came down from the mountain, leaving no trace of his family members!

He was the only one who happened to be out and luckily escaped the disaster, but he has been living in endless pain ever since!

"May the gods protect us...may the gods protect the empire!"

"If it weren't for His Majesty Chiba pacifying this chaotic world, we would have long since become withered bones by the roadside!"

In the streets and alleys.

Countless commoners who had occasionally complained about the imperial laws were now trembling with fear.

Without comparison, there is no fear.

The parallel ninja world is a chaotic hell, with exorbitant taxes levied by daimyo and nobles, and the ever-present threat of ninja massacres...

Compared to the empire's current stable, orderly, and prosperous life, it's like the difference between hell and heaven!

"Staying in that chaotic world is worse than death!"

"Only the empire established by His Majesty Chiba is the only pure land on earth!"

"..."

Millions of civilians knelt in the streets.

They bowed in the direction of the capital, their faith and loyalty soaring to their peak at that moment!

Just as the whole country was immersed in a violent emotional shock.

Another anomaly has occurred!

Boom!

In the void.

The boundless primordial power suddenly materialized!

Those isotopes that disappeared into the long river of history, their remaining life essence and chakra essence, transformed into streams of light that poured down from the sky!

This is the ultimate gift bestowed by the rules after two worlds overlap and merge!

imperial capital.

The headquarters building of the Dark Division.

Kakashi Hatake has just finished processing the memories of his counterpart.

Sudden.

An extremely powerful and surging chakra exploded within his body out of nowhere!

boom!

Kakashi slowly raised his hands, looking dazed.

original.

Although he is proficient in all elemental ninjutsu, his chakra reserves have always been a weakness.

But now.

Energy from another world flowed into his body without reservation!

With the support of this energy!

The aura surrounding Kakashi surged violently!

Super Shadow Level!

His normal combat power directly crossed the insurmountable barrier and steadily entered the level of Super Shadow!

"This power..."

"The other me... I accept the regrets you carried."

Kakashi clenched his fist, feeling the chakra surging like a river within him, a complex expression appearing in his eyes.

Inside the training ground.

Yamato knelt on one knee and slammed his hands into the ground.

Rumble!

Within a radius of one kilometer, hundreds of towering trees have sprung up from the ground.

The hardness and vitality of Wood Release are twice as strong as before!

"The power of Wood Release... has increased by at least 30%!"

Yamato stared at his hands in disbelief, his face filled with ecstasy.

Of all those who benefited most from this gift, the nine tailed beasts were the ones who truly reaped the greatest rewards!

Deep within the dragon vein underground palace.

A beam of light shot into the sky from within the bodies of the nine Jinchūriki!

Tailed beasts are, in essence, the physical manifestations of chakra.

Limited by the rules.

Their strength was fixed from the moment they were born, and has not improved in thousands of years.

But now.

The origins of the nine tailed beasts from a parallel world were forcibly injected across dimensions!

This is an essential superposition!

One plus one is far greater than two!

Inside the sealed space within Naruto's body.

The massive iron gate, originally hundreds of feet high, suddenly shook violently!

Roar--!

A nine-tailed fox, its size nearly doubled and its entire body engulfed in golden flames, roared to the sky!

Its nine giant tails swept across the void, unleashing a devastating chakra tsunami!

"Hahahahaha!"

"This is too powerful! This power is too strong!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox rolled around in the sealed space, its face filled with wild joy.

in the past.

When faced with monsters of the highest level, Nine-Tails could only retreat.

And now.

Even if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha came back to life.

Even the Nine-Tails dared to rely on its massive chakra to fight them to a standstill!

however.

The sixteen-year-old boy, standing on the surface of consciousness, kept his head down, his expression extremely gloomy.

Naruto slowly raised his hand, looked at his palm, and large tears fell onto the water, splashing up ripples.

"What's wrong, Naruto?"

Nine-Tailed Fox stopped laughing.

Its huge fox head lowered, staring at the boy with suspicion.

"Nine Lamas..."

"When I was six years old, my older brother Chiba took me back to the Senju mansion."

"He gave me good food and taught me martial arts."

"From that day on, no one dared to look at me with that cold, disgusting gaze again..."

"I always thought that everyone grew up like this."

Naruto suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his forehead.

"But the me in that world... that eight-year-old Naruto..."

"He drank expired milk, ate rotten apples, and huddled alone in his dilapidated house, counting the ceiling!"

"The villagers on the street called him a monster, threw stones at him, and even when he tried to buy a mask, the shopkeeper would push him violently into the mud!"

"Why?"

Naruto let out a heart-wrenching growl and slammed his fist into the water!

"He didn't do anything wrong!"

"His father was the Fourth Hokage, a hero who sacrificed himself to protect the village!"

"Why...why does that village treat him like this?!"

The anger and sorrow in the boy's eyes were almost tangible.

If it weren't for Chiba's appearance!

Would my counterpart in the main world also experience such despair?

This moment.

Naruto felt an extreme loathing for the so-called Konoha high-ranking officials!

The top of the underground palace.

Chiba floated silently in the void.

The six-tomoe Rinnegan's keen perception allowed it to take in the changes in the expressions of the people below.

He could clearly sense that the entire empire's fortune and foundation had undergone a tremendous transformation.

All the ninjas who received the gift from their counterparts experienced a significant increase in strength.

The common people's sense of belonging and loyalty to the empire reached an unshakable peak of fanaticism.

"The world is integrated, and all artifice is washed away."

Chiba slowly withdrew his gaze and looked towards the deep, boundless void of the dome.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a very faint curve.

The tragedy of the parallel ninja world has been completely transformed into nourishment for the empire's growth.

This outcome was beyond Chiba's expectations, but it brought tangible benefits to the Empire!
