Chapter 763: Ten Interdimensional Ninjas
Chapter 763: Ten Interdimensional Ninjas
"In another world, what kind of ninja am I?"
On the way to the Third Division, out of curiosity, Ken Kyuro asked Sasori a question.
Now, with the discovery of four other ninjas from parallel worlds, there was no longer any doubt about the existence of parallel worlds.
"Ken Kyuro? I don't think I've heard that name before. Perhaps he's still studying at the Ninja Academy."
Sasori replied after a moment's thought.
The time in their two worlds was slightly different; the Uzumaki Naruto side seemed to be about a decade ahead.
Ken Kyuro quickly realized this, and couldn't help but show a look of regret.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, a sudden sound of breaking through the air rang out, and a large number of white bone bullets shot towards Sasori and the Raiding Force.
Whoosh! Sasori instantly dodged and took out a puppet from the scroll.
The next moment, three figures emerged from the dense forest.
One wore a breathing mask, dressed in a combat outfit in the style of the Rain Ninja, and stared expressionlessly at Sasori and the others.
One was clad in a black robe, with a small and slightly hunched figure, and upon seeing Sasori, showed a look of shock.
The last one had white hair and a calm demeanor, with two red dots between his eyebrows.
"It's Granny Chiyade, Yamabito Semuzo, and Kimamaru!"
Ken Kyuro instantly recognized all three of them, and his face turned solemn.
Chiyade, of course, was a strong ninja from her village, and he was very familiar with her.
Semuzo, in his lifetime, was a renowned ninja in the Ninja World, and his strength was not to be underestimated.
And Kimamaru was no pushover either; he had almost defeated Love Bird in the past.
Boom! Just as Sasori and the Raiding Force were about to take action.
Suddenly, a giant yamabito burst out from underground, spewing out a large amount of purple poison mist.
"Damn, it's the poison mist of the Yamabito! Everyone, scatter!"
Ken Kyuro's face changed instantly, never expecting Semuzo to have summoned his summoning beast in advance and hidden it underground.
However, Ken Kyuro himself also knew that it was too late.
Their speed couldn't possibly outrun the spread of the poison mist.
The ninjas of the Raiding Force began to fall one after another, including their captain, Ken Kyuro.
"Catch this."
At that moment, Ken Kyuro suddenly heard Sasori's voice, and a pill shot towards him.
In this situation, there was no need for explanation. Ken Kyuro immediately used his remaining strength to catch the pill and swallowed it, instantly feeling the numbness in his body disappear.
"You broke my poison so quickly."
Semuzo was a bit surprised.
"After all, this is my grandson, an old man with a breathing tube."
Chiyade said with a hint of pride.
Although she didn't know how Sasori had survived, he was indeed standing alive before her, not in a state of Impure World Reincarnation.
"Puppet Granny, what are you boasting about? We're both dead."
Semuzo retorted expressionlessly.
"Granny Chiyade, he's not Sasori, he's Sasori from another world."
Ken Kyuro released his puppet and, seeing Chiyade's mistake, explained.
"What are you saying, Ken Kyuro?"
Chiyade showed a puzzled expression and, under Daito's control, shot chakra threads at the ninjas of the Raiding Force.
Semuzo defined.
Kimamaru extended giant bone spikes from his body and launched an attack on the Raiding Force.
Ken Kyuro instantly felt the pressure mounting.
"It's exactly as it sounds. I'm not the Sasori you know, nor am I your grandson."
Sasori controlled his puppet to block the attack while answering Chiyade's question.
Chiyade's face was filled with astonishment, never expecting such a strange occurrence.
"Bone Pulse: Early Fern Dance!"
Daito was solely focused on capturing Sasori. He was worried that if this dragged on, the Ninja Alliance would notice their situation, so he directly controlled Kimamaru to go all out, entering the Seal Mark Two State.
In the Seal Mark Two State, Kimamaru's skin turned brown-black, black patterns appeared on his face, and his back grew long, resembling a monster.
Kimamaru unleashed his chakra and used the Bone Pulse, causing sharp bone spikes to rapidly emerge from the ground, all aimed at Sasori and the trapped Deidara.
Daito's targets were only Sasori and Deidara.
Sasori could reveal the secrets of the parallel world to him, and Deidara was one of the few willing to fight actively, a comrade who didn't need to be controlled.
As for Ken Kyuro and the others, Daito didn't consider them a threat. Ninjas of this caliber, whether alive or dead, wouldn't affect the overall battle situation.
"So it's the Bone Pulse."
Sasori recognized Kimamaru's bloodline limit, and his fingers danced swiftly, controlling the iron sand to lift himself and the puppet containing Deidara into the air.
"Magnet Style: Sand Iron Burial!"
Sasori calmly commanded his puppet to release a Magnet Style ultimate technique, sealing Kimamaru by burying him in a large amount of sand iron.
Before long, the Fifth Division, led by Sanbo, arrived to provide support.
The interdimensional ninjas were too unique, and Sasori was alone, within the weak Raiding Force.
Therefore, Shikamaru Nara guessed that the enemy might have designs on Sasori and sent a portion of the Fifth Division's forces in advance.
As expected, Daito dispatched three formidable Impure World Reincarnated ninjas to attempt an interception.
Sasori, already powerful, with the help of the Fifth Division, sealed Kimamaru without much effort.
And Semuzo, in his battle with Sanbo, regained his faith. He broke free from Daito's control and ascended to the Pure Land.
Something went wrong when Semuzo's soul returned to the Pure Land. He suddenly saw several scenes.
He saw a Rain Country far more prosperous than he remembered.
This Rain Country was peaceful, wealthy, and powerful, like a fantasy.
"If it's a dream, it's a beautiful dream."
Semuzo sighed, self-mockingly.
Having found himself only after death, he didn't even have the qualifications to live in that happy country.
Kimimaru was sealed, and Hanzo independently released himself from the Impure World Reincarnation, leaving only Granny Chiyo on the battlefield.
It wasn't that Chiyo was the strongest, but rather, the reincarnated Chiyo was the weakest among the three.
Chiyo's body was mostly puppet-based, and the reincarnated Chiyo, without her puppets, was far less powerful than in her previous life.
Therefore, Chiyo, the least dangerous of them all, was left until the end.
"Sasori, may I ask a question? In your world, is 'I' doing well?" Chiyo, whose body was restrained by Sand Iron, thought for a moment before asking.
On the surface, she seemed to be inquiring about her own situation, but in essence, she was asking about Sasori's circumstances.
If her world was the same as theirs, then Chiyo's situation would undoubtedly not be any better.
"I'm doing fine. I'm the Fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village now," Sasori replied with a faint smile.
Hearing this answer, Chiyo revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
"You really don't care about the elderly, at such an age, and you still choose 'me' as the Kazekage." Chiyo muttered under her breath.
Chiyo's face quickly turned pale, and she seemed ready to dissipate on her own, appearing satisfied with her wish.
Since "she" was in the mood to be the Fifth Kazekage, and Sasori was smiling as he said this, the relationship between them as grandmother and grandson must not be bad, at least not to the point of self-destruction.
"What about Rasa and Gaara?" Chiyo asked casually.
"Rasa, in Six Paths City, is living a life where someone brings her food every day. Gaara is just a few-year-old brat," Sasori replied.
Before Chiyo could respond, she disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Kankuro's expression was subtle; the Fourth Kazekage from another world seemed to be in prison.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt it was a very bad thing, so he didn't ask further questions and focused on rushing to their destination.
When Sasori arrived at the Third Division, the division had just finished a battle and was resting on the spot.
"Sasori!"
In the instant he saw Sasori, Kakashi instinctively reached into his ninja tool bag, but upon seeing the Allied Shinobi beside Sasori, he immediately remembered that this was the Sasori from another world, not their world's traitor.
"Hello, Kakashi. Is there a problem with your eye? Do you want me to modify it for you? It's free," Sasori offered.
Sasori did not approach Maito Gai but instead greeted him and offered to help him for free, which was clearly not the attitude of a stranger.
"So it's the Sharingan."
Sasori expressed regret and politely greeted Maito Gai before taking a break.
Since coming over, he had either been fighting or rushing, which had consumed a lot of his energy.
Kankuro sat next to Sasori and occasionally asked about parallel world matters.
Kakashi thought for a moment and sat down next to Maito Gai.
He wanted to understand the matters of parallel worlds.
To be precise, it was about crossing between worlds.
The last time Naruto crossed over was a coincidence, but this time, so many ninjas from the other side had crossed over together, which clearly indicated that they had mastered some method of crossing.
To be honest, Kakashi was a bit worried.
Although this time, Moonlight and his team had come to help, it didn't mean that the two worlds could always coexist peacefully. The fact that Moonlight's team was willing to help only showed that they were good people.
Even between countries, peace is difficult to achieve, and when it comes to worlds, the difficulty increases manifold.
Kakashi didn't want the Shinobi World War to turn into a double-intensity war, becoming a war between two worlds.
"Might Guy, how did you cross over to our world?" Adult Kakashi asked directly.
Through observation, he found that the personalities of the two Maito Gais were basically the same, so he didn't beat around the bush.
If Maito Gai was willing to answer, he would definitely do so. Beating around the bush might cause Maito Gai to misunderstand.
"Crossing worlds, it's like a green light followed by a purple light, and then whoosh, you cross over," Maito Gai replied seriously.
Adult Kakashi: ...
He had only considered their personalities and forgotten that Maito Gai might not know the answer.
"Don't make it hard for him, no one knows about this, only the leader of Moonlight has the power to bring people across worlds," Sasori said with a faint smile.
"It's actually an individual's power?" Adult Kakashi showed a surprised expression.
It would take an incredibly powerful force to achieve something as incredible as crossing between worlds.
Adult Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know Moonlight, based on Naruto's experience, he knew Moonlight was a pure-hearted person.
"Might Guy, you're so strong, how do you usually train?" Rock Lee took out a few rice balls and offered one to Maito Gai curiously.
"It's not that special," Maito Gai scratched his head and shared his daily training routine.
"Such a terrifying amount of training, Might Guy, how do you manage it? Is your body okay?" Rock Lee was shocked.
Even Adult Maito Gai showed a look of surprise.
They had thought that they, master and disciple, were training fanatics, but they hadn't expected Maito Gai to be even more insane.
"Don't follow my example. I have a training elixir given by Moonlight, and I've been practicing breathing techniques for a long time, so my body's recovery ability is strong," Maito Gai explained.
He had the capital to train like this; one was the powerful effect of Moonlight's elixir, ensuring that excessive training wouldn't harm his body, and the other was the potent effect of the Stone Breathing Technique.
"Teacher Might Guy, you're truly amazing. Even if your body can withstand the training, it's still incredible to be able to accomplish so much."
Rock Lee was deeply moved by Might Guy's unwavering determination, tears streaming down his face.
"Rock Lee, we should learn from him too and push ourselves to our limits."
The adult Might Guy was also touched, and like Rock Lee, tears of emotion welled up in his eyes.
"This ninja named Moonlight is truly remarkable."
Adult Kakashi marveled in his heart.
It was clear that Might Guy's formidable strength at the age of seventeen was closely tied to Moonlight's teachings.
Might Guy's breathing technique was unknown to him, but he was well-acquainted with Uzumaki Naruto's Yang Breathing.
The Yang Breathing not only healed the Unmarked Seal but also utilized Yang Chakra to strengthen the body, making it one of the top-tier secret techniques among the many he had witnessed.
"Am I seeing things? It's Jiraiya-sama!"
A Leaf Village ninja, who was resting on the ground, suddenly spotted a white-haired figure. As he got a clear view of the white-haired ninja's face, he instantly exclaimed in disbelief.
The Leaf Village ninja, unaware of the interdimensional ninja's situation, stood up as if ready to engage in battle.
It was common knowledge that Jiraiya had already passed away, so the arrival of an impure world reincarnation enemy was certain.
"Jiraiya, it seems you're not very popular."
Orochimaru mocked.
"Everyone, be on your guard, it's the S-rank rogue ninja Orochimaru and Kakuzu!"
When the Leaf Village ninjas saw Orochimaru, their scalps went numb, and they quickly drew their weapons.
"Hahaha, you've got to be kidding me, rogue ninja Orochimaru."
Jiraiya couldn't help but burst into laughter, patting Orochimaru on the shoulder.
Orochimaru remained expressionless, not overly surprised.
If it weren't for Moonlight, his ultimate fate would likely have been desertion.
And if there were no Moonlight in Uzumaki Naruto's world, his becoming a rogue ninja wouldn't have been a strange occurrence.
"Everyone, don't panic. These three are powerful members of our ninja alliance, not enemies."
Kakashi quickly stepped forward and spoke.
With the commander's assurance, the ninjas, although somewhat perplexed, put down their weapons and continued to rest.
"Kakuzu, where did you end up after the crossing? Do you have any news about Nagato and the others?"
Sasori stood up and walked over to Kakuzu's side to ask.
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and I ended up on the beach."
Kakuzu replied.
"We also don't have any news about Nagato and the others. They might not have arrived in this world yet, or they could be in a very distant location."
"I see."
Sasori nodded.
He thought Might Guy was alone, assuming everyone had dispersed, but he didn't expect Kakuzu and the others to be a group of three arriving at one location.
"Sasori, you don't need to worry either. With Nagato's strength, the only one in this world who could pose a threat to him is probably Uchiha Madara."
Kakuzu said with a smile.
Nagato possessed the Rinnegan and had mastered the Sage Mode of the Breathing Stream, making him the top-ranked ninja under Moonlight.
"It's not so much worry, just asking casually. After all, even the leader of Moonlight said it's not a big problem."
Sasori shook his head.
With no news from other companions for the time being, Kakuzu and the other two also rested within the Third Division.
Currently, it was a time of war, and the battlefield was at the center of the ninja world.
Even if Nagato and the others had crossed outside the battlefield, they would eventually make their way to the battlefield. Instead of running around aimlessly, it was better to wait for news on the battlefield.
"It seems like in this world, I not only deserted but also did other things."
Orochimaru noticed the vigilant gazes of the Leaf Village ninjas.
It was as if Orochimaru's mere presence warranted their constant attention.
"Kakashi, you're doing well. You're the commander of the ninja alliance's division, but what's wrong with your eye?"
Jiraiya greeted the adult Kakashi.
"It's not like everyone who knows 'me' over there will ask, right?"
The adult Kakashi inwardly retorted before once again moving his hand away from his forehead and explaining.
"I transplanted the Sharingan, but due to the lack of Uchiha blood, I can't close it, which is quite tiring."
Jiraiya stroked his chin as he analyzed.
The Sharingan consumed a significant amount of chakra, and even Uchiha clan ninjas didn't maintain it at all times during battles.
However, the adult Kakashi had to keep the Sharingan active around the clock, causing his chakra to leak continuously, like a pipe with a gaping hole.
"Thank you for your concern. After getting used to it, it's not that bad."
The adult Kakashi shook his head slightly.
He was well aware that the Sharingan had brought him both benefits and burdens.
Moreover, this was a gift from his dear friend, an advanced-level Jonin technique.
Regardless of the burden, Hatake Kakashi wouldn't abandon it. He would watch over Uchiha Obito's world until his dying breath.
Early the next morning, at the break of dawn, an intelligence ninja suddenly rushed to Kakashi's side with urgent news:
"The command post has detected traces of interdimensional ninjas, and this time, there are five of them!"
"Who are they?"
Jiraiya asked curiously.
There were only eleven of them who crossed over, and with five found, there was only one person left.
"They are Nagato, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Izumi, and Hyuga Hinata."
The intelligence ninja quickly reported.
Hearing these familiar names, Hatake Kakashi's mood grew heavy.
Originally, he also had companions, but due to his incompetence, both Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Obito had perished.
"Only Moonlight is left."
Jiraiya scratched his head, not overly concerned.
Moonlight was the least of their worries, after all, he was the man who defeated Uchiha Madara and effortlessly defeated the four great ninja villages' alliance.
"They're all with Naruto, rushing towards the battlefield!"
The intelligence ninja continued to report.
