After the countdown on the Heavenly Screen ended, the screen slowly unfolded—revealing several lines of large text.
[TOP1 Naruto Uzumaki Sasuke Uchiha VS Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki]
[The ranking is not in any particular order, only indicating the sequence.]
[Main Character: Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage. "I speak my mind and keep my word—that's my Ninja Way!"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: I want to be like my brother, supporting this world from the shadows.]
[The extraterrestrial visitor, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki: How dare a Ōtsutsuki?]
The countdown reached zero, and the image on the Heavenly Screen suddenly changed.
In a vast, desolate void, the stars are dim, and ancient buildings float in the boundless darkness, like relics forgotten by time. This is Kaguya's City, once the domain of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the progenitor of Chakra, now only desolation and silence remain.
Sasuke Uchiha's figure slowly emerged, draped in a black cloak, his left Rinnegan gleaming with a chilling purple light. He surveyed his surroundings, his Chakra perception fully activated, exploring the secrets of this lost city.
"Kaguya's traces... are indeed here." Sasuke muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on a dilapidated temple in the distance.
Just as Sasuke was investigating, two figures emerged from the void—
Momoshiki Otsutsuki, with snow-white hair and a golden Rinnegan on his forehead radiating arrogance and disdain, stood behind him. Behind him stood the silent and tall Kinshiki Otsutsuki, his Byakugan coldly observing everything around him.
"That woman Kaguya dared to betray us..." Momoshiki's voice was low and dangerous as he gently stroked the red Rinnegan in his hand.
Kinshiki knelt on one knee and respectfully reported, "Momoshiki, Kaguya is no longer in this space."
"Hmph, what a wasted trip." Momoshiki snorted coldly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. However, just as he was about to leave—
"That is...?"
Sasuke's figure flashed by in the shadows in the distance.
"Oh? A ninja from this era can actually enter Kaguya's dimension?" Momoshiki's lips curled into a cold smile. "Kinshiki, go test his strength."
Kinshiki vanished instantly, and the next moment, the massive axe blade was already cleaving towards Sasuke!
"Clang--!"
Sasuke parried with his Kusanagi Sword, sparks flying, Rinnegan slightly contracted, instantly discerning Kinshiki's attack pattern.
"His strength is great, but his speed is average." Sasuke calmly analyzed, then flashed away, Body Flicker Technique creating distance.
Kinshiki remained silent, but his attacks intensified, the axe blade sweeping across as if tearing space itself apart! Sasuke formed a hand seal—
"Amenotejikara!"
Spatial displacement! The two instantly switched positions. Kinshiki's attack missed, and Sasuke appeared behind him, thrusting out with his Chidori Sharp Spear!
"Sizzle--!" Lightning pierced the air, forcing Kinshiki to retreat, but he was not injured.
"Interesting." Momoshiki watched the battle from the sidelines, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "This ninja's Dōjutsu seems rather interesting."
Sasuke did not linger in the fight. After confirming the information, he immediately used Space-Time Ninjutsu to retreat.
Momoshiki snorted coldly, "Kaguya's scroll is undecipherable; it seems we have no choice but to go directly to her 'territory'."
Just then, space distorted again, and a lazy voice came—
"Oh dear, Momoshiki, you're still so impatient~"
Urashiki Otsutsuki slowly emerged from the black hole, holding a fishing rod and wearing a playful smile.
"Urashiki?" Momoshiki frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to help!" Urashiki said with a grin. "Kaguya's 'planet' now has quite a few interesting 'Chakra Fruits'!"
A glint of greed flashed in Momoshiki's eyes. "In that case, let's just go and recycle it."
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
Urashiki swung his fishing rod, the black hole opened, and the three stepped inside, their target pointing straight at—
Ninja World!
The real Shinobi World...
"The Seventh Hokage... Naruto Uzumaki?!"
On the icy plains of the Land of Snow, the cold wind howled, and the glistening snowflakes shimmered in the sunlight. Naruto stared wide-eyed at the line of words that appeared in the Heavenly Screen, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
The next second--
"Aaaaaah--!" He leaped up, his golden hair whipping wildly in the wind, arms raised high, shouting at the sky, "Hokage!! I really will become Hokage in the future!! Hahaha!!"
His voice echoed across the vast snowfield, startling snowbirds on the distant treetops.
Jiraiya stood to the side, a relieved smile playing on his lips, his gaze softening as he looked at the child. "You little rascal, you've finally achieved your dream..." he murmured softly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
But soon, his gaze returned to the Heavenly Screen, locking onto the figure of Momoshiki Otsutsuki, his brow furrowing slightly. "An extraterrestrial visitor? A future enemy..." He stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It seems the crisis in the Shinobi World is far from over."
Karin stood beside Naruto, her red hair fluttering gently in the wind, her eyes behind her glasses sparkling with excitement. Watching Naruto's excited gestures, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her cheeks slightly flushed. "That idiot... he finally became Hokage."
"Hey! Karin! You Pervy Sage! Did you see that?!" Naruto turned around, his face beaming with a bright smile, his blue eyes brighter than the sky over the snowy plains. "I! Naruto Uzumaki! The future Hokage!! Hahaha!!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily, walked over, and vigorously ruffled his hair. "I saw it! I saw it! You brat, don't get too cocky, Hokage isn't easy!"
"Hmph! No matter how difficult it is, I will become the best Hokage!" Naruto clenched his fist, his fighting spirit soaring.
Karin looked at him, her smile deepening, but then her gaze shifted to the Heavenly Screen, looking at those unfamiliar and powerful enemies— the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
"Naruto..." she said softly, "The enemies you face in the future seem even more terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Naruto's smile faded slightly, but his eyes quickly hardened again. "No matter who it is, if they dare to threaten the Shinobi World, I will beat them all to a pulp!"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto, a mixture of relief and complex emotions flashing in his eyes. (This kid... he's really grown up.)
The Hokage's office in Konoha, the Land of Fire.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the mountain of documents. Shikamaru Nara was reviewing the documents with a pained expression, his grip on the pen almost breaking.
"Ugh... this is so troublesome..." He scratched his head, looked up at the sky and sighed, "Why does the Hokage have so much work?!"
Beside him, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, was leaning lazily back in her chair, holding a cup of sake in her hand, gazing leisurely at the sky outside the Heavenly Screen.
"Hmph, that loser actually became Hokage..." A slight smile played on her lips, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, but she quickly followed with a soft snort. "But with his clumsy manner, I bet he makes a complete mess of the office Tenten, doesn't he?"
Shikamaru looked up at the Heavenly Screen and couldn't help but smile as he saw the words "Seventh Hokage - Naruto Uzumaki" on the screen.
"Naruto... he's really something." He muttered to himself, a hint of admiration in his eyes, but then glanced at the mountain of documents on the table, and his face instantly fell. "However... this kind of 'effort' is really unnecessary..."
Shizune stood to the side, holding the little Tonton Momoshiki Otsutsuki in the Heavenly Screen, her brows furrowed.
"Lady Tsunade, that 'Momoshiki Otsutsuki'... his name is the same as the 'Sage of Six Paths' (Hagoromo Otsutsuki)'s surname." She pushed up her glasses, her tone grave. "And their appearance is very similar to the form of Six Paths Madara in the Heavenly Screen last time... Could they also be enemies of that level?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's expression gradually turned serious. She put down her wine glass, crossed her hands in front of her chin, and stared sharply at the Heavenly Screen.
"It seems the future crisis is even more terrifying than we imagined..." she said softly, her tone heavy. "Pain, Akatsuki, Six Paths Madara, and now the Ōtsutsuki Clan... the Shinobi World truly never gives us a moment's peace."
Shikamaru sighed and rubbed his temples. "This is troublesome... If even that idiot Naruto becomes Hokage, then the enemies we face in the future will probably be unimaginably numerous."
Shizune looked at Tsunade with concern. "Lady Tsunade, shouldn't we make some preparations in advance?"
Tsunade on the table and stood up with a triumphant air. "Hmph! I don't care if he's Ōtsutsuki or some extraterrestrial visitor, if he dares to cause trouble in Konoha, I'll still punch him away!"
Shikamaru: "..." (Thinking to himself, "No, you just don't want to approve the documents...")
Shizune smiled helplessly, but a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
(No matter what the future holds, the ninjas of Konoha will protect this land!)
(Meanwhile, throughout Konoha-- )
At the Ninja Academy, Iruka stood at the classroom door, gazing at the Heavenly Screen, his eyes slightly moist. "Naruto... you really did it."
On the Training Ground, Konohamaru excitedly waved his fist. "That was awesome! Naruto- nii is the Seventh Hokage! I'm going to train even harder!"
At the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly. "Naruto Uzumaki... it seems Hinata's judgment was correct."
The Land of Lightning, Kumogakure, the Raikage's Office.
The Fourth Raikage, A, stood with his arms crossed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his bronze muscles appearing particularly hard against the backdrop of the Heavenly Screen. His sharp gaze was fixed on the Heavenly Screen, his brows furrowed.
"Hmph! Those two brats from Konoha again?" He snorted coldly, his tone tinged with displeasure, but a complex glint flashed in his eyes. "The Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki... and that Sasuke Uchiha... in the future Shinobi World, they'll still be the ones stealing the show!"
In the Heavenly Screen display, the figures of Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki appeared one by one, their postures arrogant and indifferent, as if gods were looking down on ants. In particular, the battle between adult Sasuke and Kinshiki, with its superhuman speed and power, caused the Raikage's pupils to slightly contract.
"That appearance... it's exactly the same as Six Paths Madara in the last video!" He gritted his teeth and growled, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked. "And the Sage of Six Paths who appeared in the previous videos... it was the same pose!"
He became increasingly agitated, and suddenly slammed his fist on the desk next to him, instantly cracking the heavy solid wood surface in several places.
"Does that mean all strong people turn into that monstrous form once they reach a certain level?!" He scratched his head in frustration. "I don't understand! Damn it!"
Secretary Mabui stood to one side, holding a stack of documents, looking at the Heavenly Screen with a worried expression.
"Another battle in the future... It seems the enemy is extremely powerful." She pushed up her glasses, her tone grave. "Extraterrestrial visitors... Aren't they from our Shinobi World?"
Raikage sneered, "Hmph! I don't care where he came from. If he dares to cause trouble in Kumogakure Village, I'll still send him flying with one punch!"
Mabui sighed helplessly and continued her analysis, "Their appearance... is exactly the same as that of Madara Uchiha, and there's more than one! It's truly astonishing."
The Raikage was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and yelled at the door, "Darui!! Get the hell in here!"
A few seconds later, Darui, with his tousled silver hair, lazily pushed open the door and entered, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
"Lord Raikage, did you call me?"
"Enough with the nonsense!" The Raikage's eyes widened in fury. "Summon all Jonin immediately and prepare for the meeting later!"
Darui blinked and nodded slowly, "Yes, yes, I'll go arrange it right away..."
Seeing the Raikage's agitated state, Mabui couldn't help but remind him, "Lord Raikage, calm down. The Heavenly Screen is just showing a future that's some distance away."
Raikage glared at her. "Hmph! It's always better to be prepared than to scramble at the last minute! Those extraterrestrial visitors are clearly not to be trifled with; Kumogakure must prepare in advance!"
(Meanwhile, throughout the Kumogakure-- )
On the Training Ground, the members of Samui's squad gazed at the Heavenly Screen, their expressions grave. Omoi, chewing on a lollipop, said pessimistically, "It's over... it's over... can we really win against this kind of enemy?"
In the lush mountain forest, Killer B strode lightly, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his sunglasses, humming an impromptu rhythm:
"Yo~Yo~ Border patrol~ And maybe meet Konoha Ninjas along the way~"
"The Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf of Konoha ~ And the Copy Ninja Kakashi ~"
"But then the Heavenly Screen suddenly lit up! The future scene is so exciting! Yo!"
He looked up at the sky, where the images of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were playing on the Heavenly Screen —their arrogant demeanor, indifferent eyes, and earth-shattering power in every gesture all demonstrated their extraordinary strength.
Killer B's hip-hop expression gradually subsided, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the seven Ninja Blades on his back.
"Yo~ Another new future? An extraterrestrial visitor~ Looks ridiculously strong~" He rapped softly, but his tone was no longer lighthearted. "Xiao Ba, what do you think?"
The Eight-Tails Gyuki within him remained silent for a moment, its deep voice echoing in his consciousness:
"They are not ordinary enemies..."
"That kind of Chakra... they're not ordinary enemies."
"Get ready."
Killer B pushed up his sunglasses, a wild smile curving his lips:
"Yo~ Let's show them what we're made of!"
"The strongest combination in Kumogakure ~"
"Superb rap style!!"
But his inner turmoil was far greater than his outward appearance. Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, visible in the Heavenly Screen, had already displayed strength surpassing Kage Level, yet they still faced such formidable enemies. What kind of storm would the future Shinobi World embroil in?
