These manga all shared the same name—"Naruto."
They were merely different volumes of the same story.
Wang Yan thoughtfully stacked them in order beside Sakura. Otherwise, just finding the first volume would have taken quite a while.
In his Exchange List, with the original Naruto storyline remaining completely unchanged, there were three hundred and sixty versions differing only in their perspective.
The manga he had provided this time was the Naruto version told from Sakura's perspective.
It was not expensive. Exchanging the entire set cost less than 1 Resource Point, and it even came with a full set of proportional character Figurines.
Sakura blankly opened the first volume and glanced over the manga's introduction.
My name is Sakura Haruno.
My master is the Fifth Hokage, one of the legendary Three Ninja, the princess of the Senju Clan of the Forest, Lady Tsunade.
My jonin instructor is the Sixth Hokage, a super genius who became a jonin at the age of twelve, the man who severed lightning itself—Kakashi Hatake.
The foolish dead last who had always loved me was actually the Fourth Hokage's son, the possessor of a Sage Body, the reincarnation of Asura, the Sage of Six Paths' second son, and the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki. In the end, he even defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, saved the ninja world, and became the Seventh Hokage.
He could save the world, but he could not win my heart.
Because my heart would forever belong only to my husband—the Uchiha Clan's last bloodline, the reincarnation of Indra, the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son, Konoha's protector, Kaguya Otsutsuki's sealer, the controller of the Tailed Beasts, the Five Great Nations' only Independent Ninja Without Headband, Second Pillar.
This was the story of an ordinary civilian kunoichi—a love story that belonged to me.
...Wait! Rock Lee, the strongest Taijutsu user in the entire ninja world, wanted to pursue me? Rejected! I did not like his eyebrows!
Sakura, who had never read an overbearing CEO novel before, felt her blood boil and her heart surge at the introduction. She desperately wanted to run over and have a heart-to-heart with the author at once.
Unfortunately, this book and the person who had written its introduction were not in this world. Sakura truly had the will but lacked the means.
She blushed and glanced at Sasuke in the distance, then immediately closed the cover as though she were a thief. Stammering slightly, she asked, "Is everything written in the book true?"
Her words carried both doubt and longing.
If it was all true, perhaps she really was this world's protagonist, the Chosen One favored by fate...
"Of course."
Wang Yan smiled faintly. "The predetermined trajectory of the worldline is described very clearly in these manga. Especially the introduction at the beginning—it has been certified by the Timeline Observer Association as one hundred percent accurate."
Um...
In a sense, these manga told the story of Naruto without changing anything at all. Only the perspective was different.
After using Spiritual Power to scan through the entire story from beginning to end in 0.05 seconds, Wang Yan could not help clicking his tongue inwardly.
It feels like reading about the heroine of a Mary Sue novel...
Sakura really is Naruto's true protagonist!
A female Dragon King!
"Sakura, could you lend me these books?" Sasuke's face was slightly hot.
He usually barked orders at her, yet the moment he saw a good thing, he came running over. His thin skin made him feel rather embarrassed.
"Of course! Of course you can!"
Sakura was so happy she was nearly fainting.
(Is Teacher Wang Yan my lucky star? Sasuke actually took the initiative to speak to me!)
Sensing her thoughts, Wang Yan silently shut down the Mental Detection Field.
"Thanks! Once I finish reading them, I'll definitely..."
Sasuke stopped halfway through his sentence. His gaze swept over the pile of manga, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
With books this thick, it would probably take quite a while to finish them...
He could not seriously be that shameless, could he?
"...Let's read them together. There are too many of them." The dead tsundere still sounded as cold as ever.
Sakura had clearly misunderstood what he meant. She nodded vigorously, making Wang Yan worry that she might shake her own head off and turn into the Headless Schoolgirl.
At any other time, Naruto would definitely have rushed over and made a huge fuss.
But at this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a portrait scroll of the Fourth Hokage in his left hand and an Asia Makeup Evil Arts Speed Cultivation Guide in his right. He was concentrating completely, working hard to learn a new skill.
In that state, he did not notice Sakura and Sasuke's interaction at all.
"What? That guy Naruto will become the Seventh Hokage? I'll become the man behind him?! I married Sakura? My daughter is called Sarada Uchiha?"
Sasuke's hysterical scream jolted Little Blonde awake from his immersion.
Seeing his collapsed expression, Wang Yan chuckled.
Sasuke had terrible reading habits. After borrowing the manga, he first skimmed through several volumes at a glance before obediently going back to read Chapter One of Volume One.
There it was...
He had already experienced the pain of spoiling the story for himself.
"Huh? These books say I'll become the Seventh Hokage in the future?"
Naruto rushed over with stars in his eyes and squeezed beside Sasuke to read the book with him.
"Get lost! Dead last! You're affecting my reading!"
Sasuke was furious. He had arrived first, and he had borrowed the books. Why should he have to share them with this idiot?
"I'm the future Hokage!" Naruto was brimming with confidence.
"So what! I'm still the man behind the Hoka—"
Sasuke instinctively tried to retort, but halfway through his words, he realized something. His face instantly darkened, and he looked as though he had eaten a fly.
Sakura stood beside them, her cheeks slightly flushed as she wore an incomprehensible, mysterious smile.
"That's all for today. Tomorrow... forget it, I'll give you three days. Gather here again at dawn three days from now. I have something important to announce."
Wang Yan cracked his knuckles. "I like punctual people."
The three of them felt a chill run through their hearts.
Land of Rice, Otogakure.
The Sage of the Toads' Mansion of Oil.
The former Three Ninja now shared the same identity, which finally allowed them to sit calmly at the same table.
As for Orochimaru's dark history, Jiraiya had been talked into a daze, while Tsunade did not care in the slightest.
What?
Orochimaru might endanger Konoha?
Give me a break! My Senju Clan has already perished. Who still has the leisure to care about Konoha?
"This is a KOF Invitation from the world of The King of Fighters. It can form a Reincarnation Squad with an upper limit of three members. Once the team is full, every member can receive a fifteen percent increase in strength."
Tsunade Hime placed an exquisitely crafted card on the table.
The first slot on the card bore the name "Tsunade," while the other two slots remained empty.
"I've seen this invitation before! It costs a full 1,000 Reward Points to exchange for it! You haven't even done a mission yet, have you?"
Jiraiya did not quite understand, but he was deeply impressed, his face full of envy.
There were more than countless exchangeable items in the Main God's Exchange List. It was impossible to read through them all. The only reason he happened to have seen the KOF Invitation was because he had once had the same idea as Tsunade.
"If you agree to sign the squad contract, we can immediately go accept a team mission."
Ignoring Jiraiya's question, Tsunade looked incomparably solemn and said seriously, "Team missions are more difficult, but their rewards are also greater. They may even grant Destiny Gems..."
