The End of the World

As soon as Naruto and Sakura entered the research building, a group of researchers pounced on them like terrifying upright apes in heat.

They murmured Naruto's name, their eyes filled with tenderness.

This gave Little Blonde goosebumps all over his body, his hair stood on end, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

His tongue was stiff like that of a stunned Mole, completely unresponsive, only able to utter meaningless sounds.

They dared not use the elevator; the scene, reminiscent of Resident Evil, left the two with no choice but to climb the stairs.

Upon reaching the seventh floor, the two were grabbed by several mechanical arms and dragged into a dark room.

The cold, metallic mechanical arm danced behind Orochimaru like the tentacles of an octopus.

"I know about the situation outside."

Orochimaru spoke in Youyou tone.

This time, he has truly been utterly disgraced.

However, he has a good attitude.

Failure is the mother of success; every failed attempt is an accumulation of experience.

"Let's get everyone back to normal as soon as possible!" Naruto Uzumaki straightened his tongue, his voice still trembling slightly.

Heaven have mercy...

He just wanted Sakura to like him, but who knew it would end up like this!

Everyone's gone mad!

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, his thoughts racing. "This situation is... [meme]."

"Memes?"

Sakura Haruno and Naruto asked in unison.

Orochimaru nodded slightly and explained, "I understand that there is a demon hunter world in the Infinite Planes. In that world, 'Gwent' is a meme."

"There, no matter what people are doing, if someone invites them to Gwent, they will put down what they are doing and play cards."

"Upon hearing that they were going to play cards, the armorer threw down his hammer; the swordsmith abandoned the half-finished sword; and even the knight, renowned for his devotion, would disregard the safety of his wife and daughters, risking his life to accompany a gentleman..."

Hearing this, Naruto roughly understood what he meant.

Because of his and Orochimaru's actions, the event of "falling in love with Naruto Uzumaki" has become a meme in the Ninja World.

"Why is Sakura the only one who's unharmed?"

He couldn't help but ask, his tone seemingly tinged with a hint of regret.

Orochimaru opened his mouth, seemingly trying to explain the matter using reasonable scientific language.

But he ultimately realized that his scientific knowledge was insufficient to accomplish this, and could only helplessly say, "It was the protection of Power of Destiny."

This is not just random nonsense.

Orochimaru noticed a strange phenomenon.

None of the characters who appeared in the Book of Prophecies seemed to be affected by the "Naruto Contagion".

"What should we do then?"

Naruto is going crazy.

"Don't worry, do you think I'm some third-rate scientist?"

Orochimaru spoke calmly, then pulled out a small gray oval ball. He tapped on the miniature keyboard with both hands, modifying the data as he explained, "This time I input the thought waves of Black Widow, Mantis, and Armadillo, and also fused them with your brainwaves. Fighting poison with poison... can eliminate the side effects."

Naruto always felt that Orochimaru seemed to have swallowed the word "maybe".

He took the small gray ball and crushed it in front of Sakura.

An invisible wave entered Sakura's mind, but it had no effect on her whatsoever.

The bizarre brainwaves resulting from dual personality disorder resonate, generate, and spread outwards...

The three left the dark room.

On the streets and alleys, the people who had been acting frantically quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Before Naruto could catch his breath, the bloodshot in these people's eyes quickly spread.

"Where's Naruto Uzumaki? I'm going to marry him and then kill him!"

"No, Naruto is mine, and he can only be killed by me! You little bitch!"

With similar comments echoing in his ears, Naruto was almost in tears. "Now they not only love me, but they also want to kill me after they're done!"

Orochimaru coughed awkwardly twice.

The chief scientist of the Naruto World, his Lifetime reputation ruined in an instant.

People seemed to be caught up in a collective frenzy, and as time went on, their bodies began to show inhuman signs.

A sickle-like hand, spider-like compound eyes, mandarin duck wings...

Except for a lucky few who were favored by fate, everyone else turned into monsters!

Naruto's eyes widened, filled with guilt.

He's ruined the whole world!

After a long silence, Naruto forced a smile and said, "What should we do? If I die, can I change all of this?"

He had made up his mind when he said this.

If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility for it.

This is Naruto Uzumaki's Nindo!

Orochimaru saw through his thoughts and simply shook his head. "It's pointless. If you die, they will fight over your body, transplanting your arms, eyes, and other organs onto themselves. More 'people' will die fighting over your remains."

"What you can do now is hide and try not to be found by those patients."

Although he considered himself the culprit, Orochimaru didn't have Naruto's overflowing love and compassion; he simply silently calculated the data from this experiment.

"All right..."

Naruto lowered his head.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Sasuke, Rock Lee, Tenten, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Might Guy...

Kakashi, Gaara, Nagato Uzumaki, Konan, Kaguya Kimimaro...

Mei Terumi, A, Rasa, Tsuchikage, Tobirama Senju, Obito Uchiha...

The number of survivors who were favored by fate was less than three hundred.

Regardless of their previous allegiance or past hatred, they are now united.

They built a survivor camp, helping each other, cooperating tacitly, and forging deep bonds and friendships.

Even the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had narrowly escaped Danzo and intended to live out his remaining years in anonymity, became a resident of the camp.

"Naruto, don't blame yourself. Everything is preordained. These are all arrangements of fate."

Sasuke patted Naruto Uzumaki on the shoulder, offering a rare word of comfort.

The whole world has gone mad!

People mutated into hideous monsters, and their strength increased dramatically, their numbers becoming as vast as mountains and seas.

If it weren't for those three years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Sasuke probably wouldn't have survived until the base was completed...

Every normal human being deserves to be cherished.

As the two were talking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Black hair, black eyes, a white trench coat, a handsome face, and a carefree, nonchalant air...

If it's not Wang Yan, then who is it?

Upon seeing him appear, Naruto instantly perked up. "Sensei! You've finally arrived!"

Sasuke was also excited, but he acted much more maturely.

Wang Yan stared at the two of them expressionlessly, remaining silent.

The culprit behind all of this is not Naruto or Orochimaru, but him.

He didn't directly ask Naruto to do this, nor did he tamper with Orochimaru's subconscious distortion device.

This timeline only became reality because of Wang Yan's existence and all the groundwork, guidance, and subtle influence.

Naruto's identity as the Fourth Hokage's son is revealed, he becomes Reincarnator, Gaara in Sunagakure, participates in the Strongest Chunin Exams in History, faces the mental pressure of the essay questions in the written exam, and encounters the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and Kaguya Otsutsuki...

Long ago, Wang Yan foresaw the end of the Naruto World.

Everything happened under his influence.

He is the real culprit who caused the near extinction of pure-blooded humans in the Naruto World.
