"Oh, come on."
Jedi Renzo curled his lip in disdain. "You sure looked all excited when you were out exploring space and building crap. Don't act all casual now. Didn't you come begging for planetary data from across the galaxy?"
"Heh heh," Gundam Renzo chuckled.
"I was just trying to look cool like the rest of you. And don't act like you're any different. What were you even gonna tell Mikasa—advise her on what? Pretty sure she already knows what she's doing."
Jedi scoffed. "F*ck you. Anyway, have you actually figured out how different our galaxies are?"
Gundam nodded. "Oh man... the differences are massive."
"My galaxy's more like a typical sci-fi universe. Yours? It's full-on Star Wars mode. The sheer variety of species and civilizations in your side is on a whole different scale."
"About the only thing we share are a few similar star maps."
But honestly, even just that was a huge help.
It saved him a lot of time—and avoided plenty of dangers too.
"I see."
Jedi Renzo nodded. He'd expected as much.
"WTF, you're already exploring space?"
The envy on Chinese Renzo's face was obvious.
"Gundams, huh? That was my childhood dream!" The third newbie member of the crew couldn't help chiming in.
"Once I get back, I'm totally building a few just for fun! Might even use them to deal with that shady syndicate."
"Oh, you can just use your Susanoo," Hermione said, waving a hand dismissively. "Anyway, make sure you collect as many martial arts techniques from your world as you can—categorize them, organize them, maybe even integrate a few. Also…" her eyes gleamed with interest,
"Get your hands on Orochi. I want to dissect and study him properly. I'm really curious what kind of being he actually is."
The new guy was from the King of Fighters universe.
Another blast from the past.
Though honestly, with their current strength, most things in that world didn't really impress the Renzo Crew anymore.
Still, adding another power system was always a plus.
And beings like Orochi were rare and unique—definitely worth researching.
"Heh, you didn't even have to say it. I was already planning on it."
(King of Fighters) KOF Renzo grinned.
And not just for the research… he wasn't about to miss out on the women either!
Mai Shiranui, Athena, King… just to name a few.
"Damn, I'm jealous! The King of Fighters world is packed with hotties!"
R-18 Renzo had a shameless grin on his face. And Hentai Renzo nodded beside him.
"You greedy bastards! Don't you two already have enough beauties in your world?" KOF Renzo was speechless.
After inheriting his memories, he naturally understood what kind of world R-18 & Hentai Renzo came from—and what kind of guys they were deep down.
Based on their memories, the worlds kept merging with all sorts of adult stuff (games, comics, etc...) so boredom was never going to be a problem for them.
Honestly, sometimes he was the one who felt envious of these two.
"Tsk, men." Hermione shot a look of disgust at everyone—except Mikasa. "Anyway, Mikasa, I'm really curious… what are you planning to do?"
"...I'm just nine. What can I do?" Mikasa replied with a blank expression.
Ever since she found out she was Mikasa from Attack on Titan, she'd freaked out and gone cold. Every day was just training and strategizing, trying to find some way to save the world… yet constantly feeling powerless.
And with the Colossal Titan's attack drawing closer, it felt like she was trapped—forced to follow the original plot. But now, with the shared power she had received, a flicker of hope had returned.
"Personally? I'm not doing a damn thing." Mikasa gave a surprisingly cute smile.
"Huh?" XN blinked.
Everyone looked confused, but Mikasa went on:
"I'll create a clone and let it lead the Scout Regiment from the shadows. With Erwin Smith still as the commander, of course. I'll only use a bit of power at first, just enough for the clone to gain their trust. And then show them the truth and why they should follow me."
She smiled faintly. "And I'll make sure there are no spies in the ranks. Anyone shady? I'll just brainwash them, nice and clean."
"Then, I'll give Levi Ackerman every tool he needs to become the Titans' worst nightmare—Haki, Ki, Chakra, whatever he can handle. I'll even leave a bit of my Source Energy inside him so he can tap into it when he needs to."
She turned to Pirate Renzo. "I also want to ask you to analyze the String-String Fruit. I want to give it to Levi."
"I want to see the OP Levi when the Titans come. And more than that, I'm going to build teleportation gates for the Scout Regiment—instant deployment, anywhere, anytime. They'll become a true nightmare." Her eyes narrowed with determination. "They'll rule the world until I finish creating an AI to govern everything—just like Ottoman Renzo did. No nobles, no kings, no stupid human-made systems."
"That... will be heaven in the future." Mikasa had a dream look on her face.
Finally, she can be the otaku dude she always was.
"..." XN
Uchiha Renzo broke the silence. "Well, good thinking, little Mikasa. I'll take my leave then—my world needs me right now."
And just like that, Uchiha was gone.
"Umm... I'll prepare the String-String Fruit," Pirate Renzo muttered before vanishing as well.
One by one, the rest followed suit.
For some reason, even though Mikasa's plan was brilliant, no one seemed all that excited while listening to it.
Maybe because it was just boring? Expected? Who knows?

In the Naruto world—
It had been more than two years since the last Chūnin Exams in Konoha and the Akatsuki's invasion.
During that time, Uchiha Madara and his crew had used Edo Tensei to resurrect a ton of powerful dead shinobi and launched attacks all across the map.
At this point, they'd already managed to gather the chakra of every tailed beast… except for the Nine-Tails.
Konoha had tried their best to warn the other villages about the threat.
Unfortunately, no one took it seriously at first.
In fact, most of them were extremely suspicious—convinced it was all part of some Konoha scheme. It was nothing like the original story where the Five Kage Summit went relatively smoothly.
Can't blame them though. Compared to the original timeline, Konoha was now way stronger—and the other villages had already started noticing Konoha's growing ambition to unify the ninja world.
No way they'd willingly play along.
And so… two years passed.
But now? They were finally regretting it.
The idea of a Five Kage Summit was back on the table. Only this time, it wasn't Konoha making the proposal.
It was the other four great ninja villages.
The meeting was scheduled for five days later.
---
"Now all that's left… is the Nine-Tails."
Madara Uchiha's voice was cold as he watched the Eight-Tails fully absorbed into the Gedo Statue, also known as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
"Should we just go ahead and declare war on Konoha?" Black Zetsu asked.
He was starting to feel the pressure. The longer they delayed, the more dangerous Uchiha Renzo became. The guy was growing stronger by the day.
And to be honest… Black Zetsu didn't have much confidence they could take him down now.
"Hopefully Madara can pull it off," Black Zetsu thought. "Or maybe… we just substitute the Nine-Tails with the chakra inside Kinkaku and Ginkaku. It might weaken Mother a little after revival, but it should still work."
In his mind, the outcome was already set. Once Kaguya Ōtsutsuki returned, Uchiha Renzo wouldn't even be a factor.
For him, Kaguya was invincible—at least, in this world of shinobi.
"Attack Konoha directly? That's too small-time," Madara scoffed, shaking his head.
"Aren't the Five Great Nations planning a summit soon? Perfect. We'll just show up, declare war right then and there, and kick off the Fourth Great Ninja War."
"This time, I'll crush them completely… and unify the world of shinobi."
Of course, he still planned to test the Infinite Tsukuyomi—but if that didn't work, he was more than ready to bring peace through overwhelming force.
"Fine by me," Black Zetsu replied without argument.
They wasted no time putting the plan in motion.
A mass mobilization began—reanimated legendary shinobi and an army of White Zetsu were already on the move.
---
Back in Konoha, in Renzo's living room—
"You're really not coming to the summit with me? Come on, without you around, I don't feel all that safe," Minato joked, sipping tea across from Renzo.
Renzo visibly shivered at his words and gave Minato a disgusted look. "Can you not say such creepy stuff? If I told Kushina, she'd definitely beat the crap out of you."
"As for the Five Kage Summit? With your power—and Kakashi's—who's really gonna be a threat to you guys?"
"That's why I'm sitting this one out. You focus on forming the alliance and getting ready for war with Madara. He's already moving."
It was obvious by now—Renzo had been keeping tabs on every move Madara and Black Zetsu made.
They just hadn't realized it yet.
At his current level, the entire shinobi world had no secrets left to hide from him.
Honestly, if it weren't for wanting to reduce resistance to Konoha's eventual unification of the world—and to minimize casualties—he'd have already wrapped this whole thing up. But lately, he was just too lazy to bother.
"Hehe, alright then. I won't keep you," Minato stood up with a chuckle. "While I'm away, I'm leaving Konoha in your hands. Especially Naruto. Watch over him for me, alright?"
At this point, Naruto had officially become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.
Thanks to Renzo's help, the Nine-Tails had been safely transferred and sealed into Naruto's body.
It was something Minato and Kushina had hoped for—to make their son stronger.
Let's face it, relying on just talent and brainpower alone, Naruto could never keep up with Sasuke, who was basically cheating with how many power-ups he had. The gap had hit Naruto hard before.
Only after becoming the Nine-Tails' host had he managed to catch up.
Maybe that's just destiny.
Of course, with Renzo's current strength, transferring the Nine-Tails wasn't even remotely dangerous for Kushina.
And they all agreed with Kurama. He would stick around and guard Naruto until the kid grew up—until he was strong enough to protect himself. After that, Kurama would be free.
Free for real—Kurama could even leave Konoha and wander wherever he wanted.
Of course, by then, they'd already own the entire shinobi world anyway. All the lands would be theirs.
