[Communication channels between the Pirate and Ninja Worlds are now open!]
[Monkey D. Luffy: This looks super fun! But I'm kinda busy right now—I've got to go save Ace!]
[Sengoku: Straw Hat?!]
[Monkey D. Garp: Luffy! What do you think you're doing?! Don't cause trouble!]
[Uzumaki Naruto: I totally have no idea what's going on, dattebayo.]
[Hatake Kakashi: Judging from the names and style, they must be from an entirely different world... most likely this so-called pirate world.]
[Benn Beckman: Ninja World? So you're all ninjas over there?]
[Monkey D. Luffy: Ninjyā~~~]
[Tony Tony Chopper: Real ninjas?! Like, actual ninjas?!]
[Franky: Can you make clones of yourselves?]
[Vinsmoke Sanji: Do you train under waterfalls and stuff?]
[Roronoa Zoro: Can you summon giant frogs?]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Of course I can! I can make thousands of Shadow Clones in a flash! As for summoning... ahahahaha, I'm sure I'll have a gigantic summoning beast someday, just you wait!]
Naruto was boasting without an ounce of shame, already daydreaming about standing atop a massive beast mid-battle.
[Monkey D. Luffy: So cool~~~~~]
[Sakazuki: That's not the point! You damn pirates! What are you trying to pull by spreading such nonsense? Get rid of that screen at Marine HQ immediately—we don't have time for your childish games!]
[Vinsmoke Sanji: Wait, did you say Luffy's going to rescue Ace? That's your brother, right? He got captured?!]
[Monkey D. Luffy: Yeah! Ace, hang in there! I'm coming to get you!]
[Edward Newgate: Gurararara~ Ace's little brother… you're a good kid.]
[Monkey D. Luffy: Who are you, old man?]
[Portgas D. Ace: Oyaji! Luffy!! Everyone, please don't come save me. I made my own mistakes, and I'll take responsibility for them myself!]
[Edward Newgate: No, Ace. I was the one who sent you out that day. Right, Marco?]
[Marco: Ah, I heard it too, yoi.]
[Monkey D. Luffy: Hmph! I don't care what anyone says—I will save you! I'm your brother!]
[Portgas D. Ace: Luffy... Oyaji... everyone...]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Man, this feels really passionate.]
[Might Guy: This is what youth is all about!]
[Note: The number of bullet comments (chat messages) one can send is directly tied to their power level. Each person has limited entries unless they become the main focus of a ranking—in which case their bullet chat becomes unlimited.]
[Now playing: First Ranking—The Most Overpowered Hidden Identities!]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Is it me? Is it finally me? Is my hidden identity... the future Hokage?!]
[Hatake Kakashi: Uh… theoretically, that doesn't count. That's more like a dream than a secret identity.]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Tch! Kakashi-sensei, that's so mean!]
[Monkey D. Luffy: What's a Hokage? Is it like Ace, shooting awesome fire punches?]
[Nara Shikamaru: Hokage is the leader of a ninja village.]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Hokage is, of course, the strongest ninja of all! I, Uzumaki Naruto, will become a Hokage stronger than all the previous ones!]
[Roronoa Zoro: Huh. So basically... you wanna be the village chief?]
[Monkey D. Luffy: So, can you breathe fire then?]
[Hatake Kakashi: ...]
Marineford, Navy Headquarters.
The three Admirals and several elite Vice Admirals had been urgently summoned to the war room.
"What's your take on this screen?"
"Could it be the power of a Devil Fruit user playing tricks? There's no way something can connect two worlds like this. This has to be divine power."
Borsalino casually clipped his nails. "Pew pew~ So scary. But seriously, who'd go to such lengths for a hoax? This screen is literally visible all across the Grand Line."
Sakazuki slammed a fist onto the table. "Whatever it is, if it stands against the Navy or interferes with justice, we must eliminate it—no exceptions."
Sengoku let out a long sigh.
The problem was... they couldn't eliminate it.
No one could touch the screen at all.
And with the execution only a week away, the entire Navy was on high alert. They still had no clue whether this sudden anomaly was a threat or not.
Back in the Shinobi World, Hidden Leaf Village.
A crisis meeting had also begun.
The Chūnin Exams were temporarily suspended. The source of the mysterious screen was unknown, yet it remained prominently displayed on the face of the Hokage Rock.
Originally, the plan had been to evacuate civilians from the area, but the screen simply started appearing elsewhere at random—Ichiraku Ramen shop, yakiniku restaurants, you name it.
Present in the meeting were the Third Hokage, several senior advisors, and Nara Shikaku, the captain of the Jonin squad.
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to Shikaku. "What do you think? Could this screen be a plot by an enemy village? Some kind of bloodline technique?"
Shikaku shook his head firmly. "Among all known Kekkei Genkai, none have shown the ability to do something like this. Projection across worlds... and it appears to facilitate interdimensional communication. Judging by what we've seen, that pirate world seems real. No enemy would go to such absurd lengths just to play a video."
Hiruzen exhaled deeply, taking a puff from his pipe. "You have a point."
But deep down, he was riddled with guilt.
This screen claimed it would expose hidden identities... and Naruto's parentage—
Was now really the time for that to come out?
Danzo's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. "Hmph. I say we let my Root agents investigate. This is clearly an enemy conspiracy. Hiruzen, you're too soft! Why else would this thing appear during the Chūnin Exams? Who wouldn't see this as an attack on our village?"
The Third Hokage glanced at him indifferently. "Fine. Go investigate then."
Let's see what you can actually dig up.
"Hmph! Until we know more, I propose all villagers be forbidden from watching the screen. What if it's propaganda meant to stir unrest?"
"Oh, that's easy for you to say," one elder snapped. "The screen appears randomly everywhere! How exactly do you plan to stop people from watching it? What, order everyone to close their eyes?!"
Danzo's face turned bright red with rage. "For the village's safety, even blindfolding the public is an option!"
Hiruzen didn't even want to entertain that level of idiocy.
Blindfold the entire village? Who in their right mind would come up with such nonsense?
Just then, the mechanical voice from the screen echoed again.
[During the ranking videos, random Q&A segments will appear. Answer correctly to win rewards!]
[In addition, those featured in the rankings may receive various prizes of different grades!]
[Possible rewards include but are not limited to: Side-Effect-Free Full Revival Card, Eternal Youth Card, Devil Fruit Side Effect Removal Card, Advanced Haki Awakening Card...]
The moment those words were spoken, both worlds erupted in chaos.
