Kabuto Yakushi

Inside the Trans-Dimensional Space, JoJo Mufeng poured out his grievances to everyone.

"Damn slave drivers! I never should've signed that contract with Jotaro Kujo. My days of domestic bliss are over!"

It all started when Kira Mufeng gave in to Jotaro Kujo last time. In the end, they agreed that Kira Mufeng could keep the Stand Arrow.

But in exchange, Kira Mufeng had to become an employee of the Speedwagon Foundation. He was expected to work year-round, remain under their surveillance at all times, and never leave their sight.

For the past month in the JoJo world, Kira Mufeng's exceptional abilities had made him the perfect workhorse. He'd been worked hard for a month, with only three hours of rest each day. He was already at his limit.

And now things had gotten even worse. He'd tried evolving Soft & Wet into its Requiem form and sharing it, only to discover that the Soft & Wet summoned on their end was still the regular kind.

No matter how many times they tried, the result was the same. So all his hard work had been for nothing, and he'd gotten himself dragged into the mess as well.

"Ugh—how ruthless! He synced all the troubles from the past month with us. I'm practically sick to my stomach."

Hokage Mufeng, Jujutsu Mufeng, and Pokemon Mufeng all felt nauseated. Investigating supernatural powers, going undercover in various international organizations, and taking down all those unspeakably sinister experiments were simply more than they could handle.

"But did you notice anything strange? For example, I put Sasuke through some really rigorous training in Thunder Breathing, the Six Powers, and using the Sharingan.

"But I realized that Naruto, who received the same instruction, was improving faster than Sasuke. During their usual sparring, Naruto would clearly be on the verge of winning, but in the end, he'd always lose to Sasuke because of one thing or another."

"That's nothing. The missions I've been getting at Jujutsu High are becoming more and more dangerous. I've met with Satoru Gojo, but he's always been wary of me.

"When I finally found a chance to ask him why, he told me that lately, whenever he saw me, he felt inexplicably irritated. He even wanted to kill me."

"It's the same on my end. I already killed Doma and saved Kanae Kocho, changing the original outcome.

"But while I was training with the Hashira, Kanae Kocho ran into Upper Ranks at least three times and nearly got killed.

"And Kaigaku became Upper Rank Six ahead of schedule. Luckily, Grandpa Urokodaki only taught him for a few months. Grandpa Kuwajima nearly made him commit seppuku for real."

After comparing everyone's experiences, they exchanged glances. Pokemon Mufeng spoke first.

"The world's will is correcting the original story. As a Pokémon, I can feel it more keenly. Ever since the Trans-Dimensional Space appeared and boosted my strength, the world has treated me, an outsider, with goodwill. To some extent, it's even helped me train.

"That shows that not every world rejects us. Some worlds want us to exist, or even to become their allies."

Pokemon Mufeng clenched his fist. After receiving everyone's abilities through the Trans-Dimensional Space, he could feel his life form evolving.

He had a hunch that if he kept evolving, he might reach the level of a Legendary Pokémon. His goal was to become the God of Fighting.

"That makes sense. We'd better be careful from now on. Better safe than sorry."

After exchanging information, they each returned to their own worlds.

In the Naruto world, Mufeng Uchiha gathered his thoughts in the new house he'd just bought and let out a long breath.

"Good thing I'm in the Naruto world. I know who's behind this. When it comes down to it, Shippuden is all about the love and hate between Indra and Asura, the two brothers, and Black Zetsu looking for his mother. And finally, there's Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who may or may not really be dead."

Today was their graduation day from the Ninja Academy. The Three Body Technique was such a simple exam that Mufeng Uchiha had naturally sent a Shadow Clone to take it for him.

He had more important things to do. After finishing his Chakra extraction training for the day, he was at the Konoha Orphanage in the blink of an eye, looking for the greatest spy of all—the dream maker of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kabuto Yakushi!

"Kabuto-senpai, long time no see. I've missed you. Another wonderful day full of love!"

That annoying voice again. That troublesome kid is back.

When Mufeng Uchiha showed up with bags upon bags of gifts and supplies, he immediately drew the attention of every child there.

"Don't worry, there's enough for everyone. If you don't line up, I'll take all these snacks and new clothes back with me."

The children promptly formed a neat line. Just then, the orphanage director came out and unceremoniously took the things from Mufeng Uchiha's hands.

"Mufeng, thank you so much. You and Kabuto bring us so many things every time. I don't know how we could ever repay you."

The director meant every word. The orphanage had very little income, and the village's meager subsidy could hardly support so many orphans.

Luckily, kind-hearted benefactors had been secretly sending them money for years, allowing the orphanage to take in more children and keep running. They'd always wanted to thank their benefactor. They finally learned who it was when Mufeng Uchiha dragged Kabuto in and confessed everything.

For years, Mufeng Uchiha had been subjected to the Will of Fire every day under the watchful gaze of an old man who loved looking into crystal balls. With Kakashi-sensei's approval, he'd successfully been assigned to the Anbu family.

But he was only an ordinary auxiliary member, and only a few simple missions were occasionally given to him. For example, he might be asked to monitor a villager suspected of being a spy or investigate some unusual activity in the village. Most of the time, he was probably just being immersed in the Will of Fire by his team captain.

Still, as an auxiliary Anbu member, he was kept under close surveillance, but he also had opportunities to witness the village's darker side. Since he knew the story, it was easy for him to find research materials related to Orochimaru.

They were all too superficial, though. He couldn't find anything about Senju or Uchiha research. If he wanted to learn more, he'd probably have to go to Orochimaru, which naturally brought Kabuto to mind.

He was Anbu, after all. Looking into someone's identity and what they'd done was still quite easy.

Mufeng Uchiha played with the children for a while, then pulled Kabuto aside.

"Orochimaru's Cursed Seal—you've already tested it on that Mizuki-sensei, haven't you?"

"Mufeng-kun, you're remarkably well-informed. He's a fool who tried to steal the Scroll of Seals to use as his ticket in.

"An experimental subject willing to test the Cursed Seal just happened to come along. I don't think anyone would turn that down.

"Or are you interested in the Cursed Seal, Mufeng-kun? Lord Orochimaru would be delighted to give you one."

"Forget it. I'm just curious. Since it's still in the experimental stage, let me see how far your research has gotten. And tell Orochimaru to hurry up with the Hashirama Cells. I didn't give you all those ideas for nothing. Make sure you get some work done."

"It'll be ready soon, Mufeng-kun. Are you sure you won't leave the village? Your talent could reach its full potential under Lord Orochimaru."

"Forget it. If I went over there, that guy who likes turning men into women might eat me alive."

Watching Mufeng Uchiha walk away, Kabuto shook his head.

Eat you alive? Mufeng-kun, the secrets you know and your wildly imaginative ideas have left Lord Orochimaru astounded. Why would he kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

As Mufeng Uchiha walked back to his place, he spotted Sasuke Uchiha in the distance and waved.

"Hey, Sasuke. You passed the graduation exam, right?"

"Damn you, Mufeng! You sent a Shadow Clone to take your exam for you. I'll learn the Shadow Clone Technique sooner or later, too."

"The Three Body Technique exam was too easy. A Shadow Clone was all I needed. Where's Naruto? Wasn't he with you?"

"Hmph. The dead-last failed the Clone Technique and didn't pass the graduation exam. I haven't seen him since it ended."

As soon as Sasuke Uchiha finished speaking, Mufeng Uchiha turned and left, calling over his shoulder, "I'll be back later. You can figure out dinner yourself."

Watching Mufeng Uchiha walk off like that, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help wondering what he was up to. His younger brother loved sneaking off to train. Maybe he'd learned another new move and didn't want Sasuke to find out.

"I'm just going to check on him as his older brother. It's not like I'm curious or worried Mufeng will surpass me."

He said that, but Sasuke Uchiha's feet followed honestly behind Mufeng Uchiha.
