Naruto: Unifying the Ninja World, Invaded by Naruto’s Team

"Sasori is the greatest mechanical doctor in the entire Empire. The ninja world, poor in knowledge, could never produce such a remarkable Sasori."

Imperial Pakura followed behind Sasori.

She wore a tight imperial guard uniform, her figure graceful, looking very young and beautiful.

"Hero Pakura…" Kankuro raised his eyebrows.

"I'm Pakura, Minister of the Oasis District Security Department."

Pakura smiled and nodded.

"That outfit suits you perfectly." Kankuro complimented.

Others, seeing this world's Pakura, also smiled.

They saw the beauty of this world through the living Pakura.

At least, there were no shameful dark sides like in their village.

"Let's head to the population registration office to register your information. That way, you'll become true Empire citizens. Then, let's party! To welcome our new friends!"

Imperial Temari, with commanding presence, waved her hand and shouted.

"Then we'll trouble you…" Gaara responded, his eyes sweeping over Imperial Rasa, Pakura, Sasori, Temari, Chiyo, Ebizo, Maki, and unfamiliar faces.

From now on, he'd be one of them!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Lightning District.

Raichi Mountain City.

Kumogakure's group stared in shock at the giant flat mountain and metal structures in the clouds.

"Yo! Welcome! Brothers and sisters from another world! From now on, we're one family!"

The Third Raikage, in a vest, led a group of men and women over 180 cm tall, all muscular and robust, greeting Kumogakure's people.

Seeing so many muscular men, Ninja World Kumogakure felt chills.

Why was this world's Kumogakure so strange?

Men were nearly all over 190 cm, women over 180 cm, with overly developed muscles!

Look at those bulging veins like worms on their arms and legs.

Though Kumogakure loved muscle training, why were even the women like this!

Kumogakure's beauty shouldn't be this!

Look at our Samui—wavy blonde hair, slim waist, long legs.

Then look at your Samui—same face, but 185 cm tall! Her build's like a man's. Oh no! Is this still our Kumogakure beauty?

"Why hesitate and linger? Come sweat together! Train a strong body! As Lightning District folk, a weak body won't do!"

Imperial Third Raikage embraced Ninja World Raikage A and Killer Bee, walking off.

In his hands, they were like kids, powerless to resist.

Other Lightning District people enthusiastically embraced Kumogakure's group with their muscular arms.

Though Kumogakure's faces looked constipated…

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Water District.

Paradise Above Water.

Kirigakure's people, fresh off the airship, saw buildings on water, endless fountains, and people swimming, showing shock.

This world's Kirigakure was incredible!

"Welcome to the water world, you from another world."

Water District Governor Mei smiled at them as the water parted.

Ninja World Mei, seeing a pool full of handsome men, swallowed hard. "Joining the Empire was the right choice. This place is paradise! I'll definitely find a handsome man to marry here!"

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Earth District.

The airship landed in a vast cave.

Iwagakure's people were stunned, seeing villagers in homes built from earth.

"What's this? Why does this world's Iwagakure look more backward than ours? Roran wasn't like this…"

"Hahaha! It's to let everyone feel the earth's aura better! We Earth District folk train techniques, and feeling earth's energy is key! Hurry, don't daydream!"

Imperial Onoki, looking twenty or thirty years younger than Ninja World Onoki, led a group to welcome them.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Empire Capital.

Naruto, Sakura, Yamato, Tsunade, Kakashi, and others returning here felt deep emotions.

This time, they truly became Empire citizens!

With the ninja world's arrival, the Empire grew livelier.

Many whose deaths weren't too long ago or whose bodies were preserved were revived one by one.

Like Naruto, Minato, Kushina, Ninja World Rin, and ninja world people killed during Imperial Guy's battles with Six Paths Madara and Kaguya.

They happily embraced new lives.

What about Ninja World Obito? Ninja World Itachi?

In a dark room, Ninja World Obito was chained to an iron chair, blood tears streaming, face pale, eyelids forced open, staring at a video.

In it, Ninja World Kakashi and Rin walked hand-in-hand lovingly through the Empire Capital's bustling streets.

Soft, warm voices occasionally sounded.

"Rin, we look so different now. Is it really okay?"

"It's fine. I love the current Kakashi—mature, stable, with an uncle vibe. Marrying this Kakashi, I wouldn't mind."

"But I feel something's off."

"Nothing's off. I asked around in the Empire; a ten- or twenty-year age gap is no issue. With your talent, Kakashi, you'll become a great martial artist. In ten or twenty years, you might look younger than me. Don't嫌弃 me when I'm old."

"Rin…"

"Kakashi…"

As they spoke, their bodies drew closer.

"No! No! No! This isn't right! Kakashi! You killed Rin! You don't deserve her love! Aaaaaa!"

Obito struggled in agony, but his head and eyes were locked, forced to watch this heart-wrenching scene.

When exhausted and needing rest, he'd fall asleep and enter a dream.

In it, he was a shadow, watching Kakashi overpower petite Rin on a bed… waking him instantly.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Elsewhere.

Blood-red sky, blood-red earth.

Ninja World Itachi couldn't control his body, stabbing his pleading father, mother, and beloved brother one by one, hearing their desperate wails and screams, his soul growing numb.

He felt in hell…

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

In the Empire.

Everyone began new lives.

Some continued their punishments.

Time flowed silently like water.

Soon, half a year passed.

Enough spacetime particles finally allowed Ryuji to traverse a spacetime tunnel, arriving in the ruined ninja world.

Standing on this land, Ryuji planted a Divine Tree repaired by the Empire.

The sapling absorbed the planet's nutrients, sprouting from the soil, rapidly growing into a towering giant tree.

It absorbed the ninja world's chakra and natural energies, growing continuously.

The Sage of the Six Paths in the Holy Land was shocked.

Seeing the robust man before the giant tree, his pupils shrank. "He's the one who defeated Mother last time. So his ultimate goal was the ninja world… this is bad. Fighting him directly, even with Hamura, we'd have little chance. But for the ninja world…"

The Sage hesitated.

Unnoticed, an old toad appeared behind him. "Surrender, Hagoromo. You and Hamura can't defeat that man."

"Gamamaru."

The Sage turned to the large toad. "My old friend, what did you see in your prophetic dreams? Why tell that kid Jiraiya to fight the Empire, and now tell me to surrender?"

"Old friend… I meant to tell Jiraiya to surrender, but ran out of breath before finishing. Jiraiya misunderstood, leading the ninja world against that man. You saw the result…"

The old toad shook its head, sighing.

"Fortunately, the outcome wasn't bad."

"So that's how it was…" The Sage showed a helpless expression.

"Such power, even Kaguya at her peak wasn't that strong. You and Hamura can't face him. Don't forget, behind him is that Might Guy, no ordinary man either…" the old toad said.

"Will we just watch the ninja world end like this?" The Sage frowned.

"If you can't fight, accept reality. All you can do now is take the Holy Land's people to another world. This world's chakra and natural energy are being absorbed. The Holy Land will vanish. Only by going elsewhere can you avoid destruction." the old toad said.

"You're right, but I… wait… that…"

The Sage stopped mid-sentence.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Simultaneously.

In a certain cave.

Isshiki, possessing Jigen, was calmly sipping red wine when he suddenly felt the world's chakra and natural energy rapidly shrinking.

He frowned. "What's this? Why's chakra shrinking so fast? This is unusual… I hope it passes like before…"

Isshiki frowned, waiting.

But after a while, the chakra shrinkage didn't recover as it did half a year ago—it grew thinner.

"Wrong! Very wrong! I must investigate. If chakra keeps shrinking, it's bad for me. But I might be noticed by that hag Kaguya's sons. In my current state, I'm likely not their match… Tsk. Troublesome…"

Isshiki hesitated long.

Unable to bear the chakra loss, he used Sukunahikona to shrink himself, swiftly vanishing from the cave.

Entering the outside world, he saw a scarred landscape.

Isshiki was shocked. "What's this? Even if the world's chakra shrinks, it shouldn't be like this. A terrifying battle seems to have happened… Is this related to half a year ago?"

"Did my 'friends' come here, fight Kaguya's sons, and win? So now they're planting a Divine Tree?"

"I can't let them succeed! I found this planet first!"

Thinking this, Isshiki grew anxious, flying toward the epicenter.

Soon, he saw the towering giant tree and a human man.

"A lowly human? Could he be a tamed subordinate of my clan?"

"Are they hiding now, luring me out?"

Isshiki hesitated, shrinking further, moving around, hoping to find clan members. But finding none, he grew puzzled.

"Still nothing? Are they hiding in another dimension, baiting me? To feed the Divine Tree? This is bad…"

Isshiki wavered but considered another possibility: "No… not necessarily. That hag Kaguya's sons are unusually strong; even among my clan, few match them."

"If my clan came here underestimating them, they could've lost, or even if they won, not without cost. So my clan member might be healing, observing, or scaring me?"

"Right! Scaring me, or they wouldn't hide!"

"Hmph! Let's see who's in better shape now!"

"Though Jigen's body isn't fully synced with me, I'm a high-tier Otsutsuki warrior! Ordinary Otsutsuki are no match!"

"Let's fight directly, unknown Otsutsuki clansman!"

"As for this subordinate, better eliminate him."

Isshiki decided, firing a black rod at Ryuji's head.

*BANG!*

The rod struck Ryuji's head, clanging, then fell powerless to the ground.

Ryuji stared expressionlessly at the invisible Isshiki. "Thought it was just an ant to ignore, but it attacked me."

"Attack ineffective? And he saw me?"

Isshiki's heart jolted, slightly shocked, revealing himself with an elegant smile.

"You withstood my attack—not bad, worthy of note. Tell me, who's your master? Maybe I'll consider sparing you."

"Master? Interesting word. Since becoming Emperor 22 years ago, that word's not in my dictionary."

Ryuji smiled faintly, though inwardly puzzled.
