One year passed.
The two worlds continued to exist together.
The Ninja World remained rich in chakra but dangerous. Wild storms of chakra and unstable nature made survival difficult.
The Prototype World grew slowly under Hashirama Senju. Its forests, rivers, and mountains were peaceful. Chakra was rare, so people relied on discipline, teamwork, and the strength of their bodies.
The First Generation
Under Hashirama's leadership and Orochimaru's research, the first generation of humans was born.
They were not stronger than legendary shinobi.
Instead, they were better adapted.
Their bodies possessed three unique traits:
Souls naturally resisted Ōtsutsuki possession.
Their chakra networks automatically rejected foreign chakra parasites.
They could survive in both the chaotic Ninja World and the gentle Prototype World.
Hashirama called them:
The New Generation.
A Different Kind of Training
Instead of teaching children only combat, the new civilization taught balance.
Children learned:
Nature cultivation.
Sealing techniques.
Medical ninjutsu.
Team strategy.
Survival without depending entirely on chakra.
Hashirama wanted humanity to become difficult to destroy—not because every person was the strongest, but because the civilization itself was resilient.
The Enemy Arrives
Far above the atmosphere...
Space opened.
One portal became ten.
Ten became hundreds.
Thousands of pale warriors descended.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan had finally discovered the Prototype World.
Their commander looked at the planet.
"A new civilization..."
He raised one hand.
"Harvest everything."
The First Battle
Panic spread across the young settlements.
But nobody fled.
Hashirama had prepared them.
Barrier seals surrounded every village.
Underground shelters protected civilians.
Communication seals linked every commander.
When the first Ōtsutsuki landed...
They reached toward a young soldier.
Normally, the clan would implant a parasitic Karma-like mark.
The mark touched his arm.
Nothing happened.
The symbol shattered.
The Ōtsutsuki stepped back.
"Impossible..."
The human smiled.
"Your parasite doesn't work anymore."
Humanity Fights Back
The defenders attacked in coordinated teams.
One group used sealing chains.
Another disrupted enemy chakra.
A third evacuated civilians.
The battle was difficult.
Although individual humans were weaker than the invaders, they fought together.
Every victory proved Hashirama's vision.
Humanity no longer relied on a single hero.
It had become a united civilization.
Madara Enters the Battlefield
High above the planet, Madara Uchiha looked down.
He crossed his arms.
"They're doing better than I expected."
Several elite Ōtsutsuki noticed him.
They charged together.
Madara smiled.
"Fine."
One step.
One punch.
The shockwave destroyed dozens of enemy warships.
The sky itself cracked.
The young soldiers below looked upward in amazement.
For them, Madara had become a living fortress protecting the heavens.
The Origin Watches
Far beyond space...
The Origin Ōtsutsuki observed quietly.
The invasion was never meant to succeed.
It was only a test.
"They have adapted..."
Its countless eyes slowly opened.
"Proceed to the next stage."
Across the galaxy...
Ancient planets began to awaken.
Sleeping Origin warriors opened their eyes one after another.
The true invasion had not yet begun.
