"Naruto, Sasuke, and Minato-senpai in this world—their popularity is truly extraordinary…"
Yamato rubbed his forehead, sighing.
"Like this… won't it cause a disturbance?" Sai whispered.
"So noisy! A bunch of foolish women! Get away from here!"
Imperial Sasuke's face darkened.
His eyes glared, a faint red light flashing in them.
All the women trying to approach froze instantly, then said joyfully:
"Alright! We'll listen to Sasuke-sama and leave immediately!"
After speaking, they dispersed happily.
"Is that genjutsu?"
Sakura was shocked.
"Using genjutsu on so many people at once—Sasuke is truly incredible…" Yamato took a deep breath.
"Just a bunch of ordinary people. This level of genjutsu is nothing." Imperial Sasuke smirked disdainfully.
"That's still very impressive, especially with so many opponents! In our Konoha village, even many elite Jonin probably couldn't do that." Sakura still praised.
Otherworldly Naruto felt a bit displeased: "Annoying… why is the arrogant Sasuke in this world so popular too?"
"Not only that, Naruto in this world is also super popular, you know." Sakura added.
"Right… why?" Otherworldly Naruto was stunned.
"Hmm… I don't know…" Sakura glanced at Imperial Naruto, thinking hard.
Though his face looked bright, his body was too muscular—not her type… she couldn't understand…
"Hahaha… because I've got strong muscles! They're a symbol of health!"
Imperial Naruto grinned while striking a bodybuilding pose.
Why does it feel like seeing Rock Lee and Guy-sensei… this Naruto is so weird!
Naruto and Sakura unconsciously thought to themselves.
Without interruptions from the street crowd, as Otherworldly Naruto continued his story, the other three from the other world's Naruto team didn't stay silent. Instead, they became curious children, constantly asking questions.
"Why are the houses here built so tall? Aren't you afraid of attacks and destruction? If that happens, the losses would be huge, right?" Sai asked while walking.
"No one in this world can threaten the Empire."
"What are those iron birds in the sky? Why do they have cloth bags hanging from their heads? Are they puppets for transportation?"
"Close, but here, they're called special food delivery puppets, 'Are You Hungry?'."
"What's that?"
"People here can use their phones to order food and enjoy delicious meals without leaving home."
"Wow… that sounds amazing! But what's a phone?"
"It's a kind of small computer you can put in your pocket."
"This is really incredible; your world is amazing. Those clothes are so beautiful! Can I see the clothing store that sells them?"
"Sure."
"Wow! Thank you so much!"
"These clothes are so pretty. Excuse me, how much in ryo?"
"Ryo? What's that?"
"Madam, please wrap them up for this young lady. I'll pay for her clothes."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
While walking, talking, and shopping, Sakura was arguably the happiest.
Soon, she had changed into a beautiful dress, a small bag slung over her shoulder, transforming into a stylish and gorgeous woman. She twirled around, smiling sweetly at those around her:
"How is it? How is it? My clothes are pretty, right?"
"Hmm, very beautiful, they suit you perfectly." Yamato observed Sakura seriously at that moment.
It had to be admitted, she was starting to mature, her figure beautifully shaped, and with the vitality of youth, her appeal to grown men was immense!
"Really beautiful! That's our Sakura!"
Otherworldly Naruto said joyfully.
The Imperial group also nodded repeatedly, praising:
"Beautiful, full of youthful vitality, you could say a cute and cheerful beauty."
"Not bad."
Amid the series of compliments, Sakura grew even happier.
Until…
"The clothes are nice, but the person is ugly, so overall, it's still not beautiful."
Sai only glanced, then unconsciously frowned.
Hearing that, Sakura instantly fumed, punching Sai's head.
Sai yelped and fell flat to the ground.
"…"
The scene stunned everyone in the Empire.
Imperial Kushina burst into laughter:
"Hahaha… serves you right! How dare you say that about a pretty girl! But Sakura's personality is quite nice! I like her!"
"This personality is quite different from our Sakura…"
"Ah… sorry… for making you laugh."
At that moment, Sakura's face also flushed. She hurriedly pulled up the fallen Sai, dragging him along as they walked.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"What? The five of you were actually defeated by a group of Ryuumyaku guards? Just how weak are you guys?"
After hearing Naruto recount their journey here, wanting to investigate the Ryuumyaku, and ultimately being defeated by a few Ryuumyaku guards, Imperial Sasuke couldn't hold back, speaking with a horrified expression.
"Truly weak… you really should join our Empire. At least then you could become stronger." Imperial Naruto also sneered.
"Annoying! I told you I'm not weak at all! It's just that those guards were too strong! Arrogant Sasuke! You're just as annoying as the Sasuke in our world! Stop commenting on me! As if you're so great! I bet you're not all that either!"
Otherworldly Naruto shouted.
Hearing that, everyone in the Empire showed strange expressions.
"I'm not all that? Hmph hmph hmph… hahahahaha…"
Imperial Sasuke covered his face with his right hand, his shoulders trembling, letting out a creepy laugh, stunning the Naruto team from the other world.
"Hey! Arrogant Sasuke, what's wrong with you? Have you gone crazy?"
Otherworldly Naruto said with slight worry.
"It's just his old condition acting up. Don't worry about him." Imperial Naruto shook his head.
"Hmph hmph hmph… hahaha… interesting! Very interesting! Otherworldly Naruto, since you're so confident, then use your body to feel just how strong I am!"
Imperial Sasuke slowly stopped laughing, looking at Otherworldly Naruto with a strange gaze.
"Huh? You think I wouldn't dare? Arrogant Sasuke! But… you can't use that power called Internal Energy! How about that?"
Otherworldly Naruto said with a hint of cunning.
He wasn't truly foolish. After being humiliated by the Ryuumyaku guards, he knew how powerful that strength was.
If Imperial Sasuke also mastered that power, he'd likely still lose!
But if his opponent didn't use that power, he wouldn't be afraid!
Otherworldly Naruto had that confidence.
"Hmph hmph hmph… not using Internal Energy? To deal with you, it's completely unnecessary! Come on! Once the fight starts, if you can make me move even one step, consider it your win."
Imperial Sasuke lowered his hand and crossed his arms over his chest, his expression mocking.
"How dare you underestimate me! Annoying arrogant Sasuke!"
Otherworldly Naruto was furious.
The corner of Imperial Sasuke's mouth curled slightly as he looked at Imperial Minato and said:
"After this, I'll leave it to you, Minato-senpai."
"No problem. Everyone, come closer to me."
Imperial Minato gave a deep look at Otherworldly Naruto. After everyone gathered, he quickly formed hand seals.
The next second, Naruto, his four teammates from the other world, and everyone from the Empire vanished.
They reappeared outside a forest, on an empty clearing.
Imperial Sasuke slowly left the group, walking to the center of the clearing.
Seeing this, Otherworldly Naruto also rolled up his sleeves, stepping out from the group. As he walked, he muttered:
"Hmph! Arrogant Sasuke, watch how I'll beat you up! Without Internal Energy, I'm not afraid of you!"
Seeing this, Kankuro unconsciously covered his face:
"The Naruto in your world is truly an idiot."
