Have I, Across All Worlds, Joined the Chat Group?
[If you could travel, where would you want to go?]
"Of course, the anime world!"
In the slice-of-life anime world, Byakuya rubbed his hair in distress. He had been in this world for many years already.
Thinking back, he had been playing on his computer when an option suddenly popped up on the screen, asking where he wanted to travel. With the intention of messing with whoever was behind it, he typed in "the anime world." Then his head spun, and he was directly reincarnated into an anime world.
Over the more than ten years he had spent growing up, Byakuya had discovered that this place was practically heaven. There was the tsundere twin-tailed Eriri, the upperclassman Kasumigaoka Utaha, the famous child actress Sakurajima Mai, and countless other anime goddesses.
He had originally thought he could live a wonderful life, until one day, when he saw the High School Detective solve a case, while Cat's Eye, Lupin the Third, and Kaito Kid stole some kind of treasure.
Then, after reports about the Tropical Land Murder Case began appearing, Byakuya realized that the timeline here had become completely scrambled.
It left someone like him, who only wanted to live a peaceful daily life, utterly exhausted.
Ever since learning that this world had Shinigami, he had felt like he was walking on thin ice throughout his life.
Beika was a grand stage—come if you dared risk your life.
As an ordinary person, Byakuya was still afraid that someone might kill him just because they disliked the look of him, or for some bizarre reason. After all, murder in Beika never required a legitimate motive.
"Miko, hurry up! We're going to be late!"
"Coming!"
The youthful energy of the students around him did little to lift his spirits. Just as he was considering whether to sign up for a martial arts class, a "ding" rang out beside his ear, instantly pulling Byakuya back to his senses.
"Ding! The Myriad Worlds Chat Group has been successfully activated. Congratulations on joining the Chat Group. Please greet the other members!"
A Golden Finger!!!
Byakuya was so moved that he nearly cried. His own Golden Finger had finally arrived!
Hokage Byakuya: [Yo, hello there, brothers!]
Pirate Byakuya: [Naruto World? Has Otsutsuki Byakuya come online?]
Zombie Byakuya: [Where's the promised anime world? Why am I still in the real world?!]
Yokai Byakuya: [Oh? And you're still not satisfied? You've got the Saint of All Worlds, Uncle Jiu, over there!]
Slice of Life Byakuya: [I've finally found my people—the me from other worlds. So everyone in this Chat Group is me!]
There were five worlds in total that had joined the Chat Group for the first time.
They were Hokage Byakuya from the Uchiha clan of the Naruto World.
Aida D. Byakuya, a member of the Rocks Pirates in the One Piece World.
Byakuya, the sole heir of the Shenxiao Sect and the eighty-seventh-generation sect master of the Shenxiao Sect in the Zombie World.
Byakuyasha, the eldest son of Inu Taisho and Lady Rasetsu, as well as Sesshomaru's younger brother, from the Yokai World.
Akizuki Byakuya, who started out at Beika Orphanage, was a middle school student at Toyogasaki Academy, and worked four-hour shifts at a convenience store in the Slice of Life World.
They were all himself?
Hokage Byakuya: [Brother, isn't your name a little wild?]
Akizuki?
Good lord!
He could only call it incredible!
Pirate Byakuya: [Ahem, well... kill that man, and you'll be my hero!]
Slice of Life Byakuya: [What are you guys thinking? The orphanage director gave me this name. Besides, I don't even know that person!]
When he had first been given this name, he had resisted. But later, since his resistance was useless and everyone at the orphanage had started calling him that, Byakuya eventually gave up. It was only a name, after all.
Zombie Byakuya: [Say, haven't you noticed something strange?]
Hokage Byakuya: [What?]
Zombie Byakuya: [The timelines you're in. One is about to face the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night, one is about to enter the God Valley War, and one is about to begin the First East-West War.]
Aside from the Slice of Life World, didn't the other worlds all seem pretty dangerous?
Hokage Byakuya: [No worries. I'm already prepared to defect!]
Yokai Byakuya: [Won't you try to change the fate of the Uchiha clan?]
No matter what, after spending time together, there should have been some feelings involved, right?
Shouldn't he think carefully about how to resolve the Uchiha clan's predicament?
Hokage Byakuya: [It can't be solved. It really can't. Let me tell you about my current situation. Right now, the Uchiha clan is divided into the Conservative Faction, the Radical Faction, and the neutral faction.
The current situation is that Saint Shisui and the Great Filial Son have both been brainwashed by the Third Hokage. The Radical Faction has no ability to resist. Danzo has long wanted to dig out Sharingan, that old schemer the Third Hokage tacitly approves of it, and Obito is watching like a tiger from the side. I genuinely can't think of any way to save the Uchiha clan!]
The Uchiha clan's destruction could not be changed merely by shouting slogans or changing the clan members' way of thinking.
In the current situation, Danzo wanted the Uchiha clan exterminated, and Obito wanted the same. Although the Third Hokage said nothing openly, he tacitly approved of every measure targeting the Uchiha clan.
It could be said that the situation had already become extremely difficult.
Slice of Life Byakuya: [Then before Minato Namikaze died, didn't you warn him?]
That wasn't right!
Since he had transmigrated so early, as long as he had warned Minato Namikaze before his death and ensured he survived, wouldn't the current situation have never happened?
Hokage Byakuya: [I'm only a little older than Itachi. Back then, I couldn't even get close to Minato Namikaze!]
At that age, approaching Minato Namikaze?
What a joke!
As the Yellow Flash of the village, his daily missions were packed to the brim.
After becoming Hokage, it was even more impossible for him to meet the man alone. And even if he did meet him, was he supposed to say, "Be careful not to get schemed to death when your wife gives birth"?
Come on!
He was from the evil Uchiha clan.
Though Minato Namikaze might not have held much prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
In the end, Minato Namikaze never needed to die. To reseal the Tailed Beast, they could simply seal it back into Kushina's body. Later, when Naruto had the Tailed Beast extracted from him, didn't he survive after having Tailed Beast Chakra replenished?
And as Hokage, he never gave the Uchiha clan an order when they were needed to fight. Instead, others gave orders forbidding the Uchiha clan from going.
With so many fighters in the village, it would have been possible to hold down the Nine-Tails and seal it again. Obito's abilities were simply too strange. Otherwise, if they had dealt with Obito earlier, they would not have been so passive.
Just as he was about to continue, several lines of red, bold text suddenly appeared in the Chat Group.
[Chat Group Rule One: Members of the Chat Group will gain the qualification to share abilities. After sharing an ability, it will adapt according to one's own strength. For example, Slice of Life Byakuya cannot unleash the power of the ninjutsu mastered by Hokage Byakuya. At the same time, when using abilities from other worlds, all energy consumption will be converted into energy unique to the user's own world. If the user's world has no power system, physical stamina will be consumed instead. Converting stamina into energy will consume twice as much stamina.] [Chat Group Rule Two: Changing the course of major events and affecting subsequent developments in the world will grant one lottery draw. For example, if Byakuya of the One Piece World changes the course of a major event, he will receive a One Piece World-exclusive lottery draw. The rewards will consist of all abilities and items from the One Piece World.] [Chat Group Rule Three: New members will be invited at specific times. Chat Group members are composed of Byakuyas from myriad worlds. Completing specific achievements has a certain chance of triggering invitations early.] [Chat Group Rule Four: Chat Group items can be traded with each other, but the effects an item will achieve after crossing worlds are unknown and must be investigated personally.] [Chat Group Rule Five: Lifespans are shared within the Chat Group. As long as Byakuya in any world has not reached the end of his lifespan, Byakuya in the other worlds will not die of old age. Note: They can still be killed.]
