[Lin Dong]: Brother, hurry and open the interdimensional portal. I'll help you—!]
[Xiao Yan]: Me too!]
Seeing a member of the group fall into danger, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong immediately spoke up.
However, at that very moment, Uzumaki Naruto, who had been chatting just seconds ago, suddenly went silent.
The chat window froze.
[Zhu Chen]: Naruto's situation is extremely dangerous. He no longer has the time to check the chat.]
[Lin Dong]: That idiot—he talked so much earlier. Why didn't he open the interdimensional portal in advance?]
[Xiao Yan]: Are we… going to lose a group member like this?]
[Zhu Chen]: Relax. I'll go personally.]
[Lin Dong]: He didn't open the portal—how are you getting there?]
[Zhu Chen]: I don't need something that crude for cross-world travel.]
[Lin Dong]: Huh?]
Lin Dong was completely baffled.
Xiao Yan, however, instantly understood.
[Xiao Yan]: I get it. Brother Zhu is the group owner—he must have special privileges!]
[Lin Dong]: Incredible… no wonder he's the leader!]

Zhu Chen closed the chat window.
In the next instant, space around him twisted violently.
His figure blurred—
And vanished.

Naruto World · Konoha Village
Deep underground, within the Root base.
A squad of Root shinobi wearing animal masks sprinted through the dark corridors, Naruto Uzumaki slung over one of their shoulders, unconscious.
Suddenly
The space ahead of them warped.
A strange, distorted void formed out of nothing, completely blocking their path.
"Space–time ninjutsu?!"
"Retreat!"
"Be on guard!"
The Root operatives reacted instantly, retreating dozens of meters in perfect coordination.
The next moment—
A boy dressed in ornate robes stepped out of the distorted space.
He looked no older than seven or eight.
"…A child?"
"Could be a transformation technique."
"Don't be fooled."
One of them spoke coldly.
"Lord Danzo's orders are clear. Anyone who interferes—kill on sight."
They exchanged glances.
Someone capable of space–time travel was no ordinary child.
Without hesitation, they drew their blades and charged, killing intent surging.

"Seeking death."
Zhu Chen flicked a finger.
A streak of crimson lightning shot forth like a divine punishment, piercing through the air.
In a flash—
The lightning passed through every Root shinobi.
Bodies collapsed one after another, lifeless before they even hit the ground.
All of it happened in a single breath.
"…Extreme Divine Sense really is convenient."
Zhu Chen walked forward calmly and shook Naruto awake.
Naruto's eyes snapped open.
Seeing a boy even younger than himself standing before him, he froze.
"Who… are you?"
Zhu Chen smiled faintly.
"Didn't you ask for help in the group chat? I came."
"Huh? You're… from that chat group?"
Naruto scratched his head, about to say more—
When an aged, sinister voice echoed from the shadows ahead.
"Interesting… I didn't expect you to kill my men so casually, boy—"
"Shut up."
Zhu Chen waved his hand.
Another Extreme Divine Sense shot forward, tearing through the darkness.
Danzo didn't even have time to activate Izanagi.
His body stiffened....
And collapsed.
Dead on the spot.
Naruto stared, mouth hanging open.
"H-Big Brother… how did you do that?"
"Wang Lin shared a technique called Extreme Divine Sense in the group," Zhu Chen replied calmly. "You can download it if you want."
Then he bent down, grabbed Danzo's corpse, and unfurled his Vermilion Bird wings.
With a thunderous roar, he smashed through the ceiling of the Root base and ascended into the sky above Konoha Village.
A vast, majestic voice echoed, shaking the entire village.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi—come out and meet me."
The moment the words fell, countless Konoha shinobi felt crushing pressure descend upon them, as if a thousand-jin mountain pressed against their chests.
Breathing became difficult.
Atop the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed out, accompanied by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
When they saw the winged figure hovering in midair—
Their faces drained of color.
"Who… are you?" Hiruzen asked, voice heavy. "Why have you come to Konoha?"
"Nothing complicated," Zhu Chen said indifferently. "I'm here to inform you of one thing."
"From this moment onward, Naruto Uzumaki is under my protection."
"I don't care whether today's incident was ordered by you or orchestrated by Danzo."
"But if something like this happens again…"
His gaze turned icy.
"I won't give you a second chance."
Silence fell.
This wasn't a negotiation.
It was a threat.
This winged being… his pressure surpasses even the First Hokage, Hiruzen thought grimly.
When did Naruto form ties with such a monster?
"Hokage-sama!"
Kakashi, Might Guy, and Konoha's elite shinobi arrived one after another.
Hiruzen glanced behind him.
Aside from Danzo, nearly all of Konoha's top fighters were present—
