It's over. Next up is No. 5.
However, the screen went black again in between, and people across the various worlds began to discuss once more.
JOJO World.
DIO's expression was exceptionally grim as he watched the scene of himself being punched into oblivion by Jotaro. He had actually died.
He, the great DIO, a being like an emperor, would actually die at the hands of the Joestar family.
Curse you, Jotaro!!!!!
"If I just obediently wait for the plan to proceed, I'm afraid I'll still be killed by Jotaro just like in the video." DIO's expression was very dark as he stood up, deciding he could no longer sit around waiting for death.
There was a reason DIO stayed in Egypt; he wanted to execute the Heaven Plan and become a god in the truest sense.
But now, after seeing the video, DIO knew he couldn't just wait anymore.
"I'll kill that old man Joseph first to strengthen myself." A cold light flashed in DIO's eyes. As long as he absorbed Joseph's blood...
...his strength would increase significantly, and so would his Stand's abilities.
Naruto World.
"What a miraculous power." Danzo Shimura's eyes widened slightly. After seeing Jotaro and DIO's battle, he hadn't expected these so-called 'Stands' to possess such terrifying power.
If he possessed this power and combined it with the Uchiha Secret Techniques... then this power would be enough to make him invincible in the field of assassination.
The corners of Danzo Shimura's mouth curled up slightly. Usually expressionless, he was now feeling joy because of this power.
"...So, where do Stands come from?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly. Although in their daily lives, he didn't quite get along with his old comrade.
After all, the other man had done far too much. There were several times when Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon learning of his actions, had even considered killing Danzo.
But in the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi always softened his heart. After all, the man did everything for the sake of Konoha, and he was an old friend.
There weren't many people left from his era.
"I don't know, but we can ask them in the comments section." Danzo Shimura looked at Rengoku Kyojuro talking to Joseph in the comments.
A strange light flashed in Danzo Shimura's eyes.
He was also very interested in the Breathing Techniques and 'swordsmanship' of those two worlds. Although these powers didn't seem to compare to Incursio or Innate Territory...
...even the lowest-level Ninjutsu was used by someone. 'Biting off more than one can chew'? That phrase didn't apply in Konoha Village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say anything; he just nodded slightly, agreeing with Danzo Shimura's suggestion.
He had no reason to refuse anything that could strengthen the Village.
It wasn't just the Naruto World.
Akame ga Kill World.
"This power called a Stand is truly powerful." Esdeath watched the scene of DIO exploding with interest. The word 'interest' was written all over her eyes.
"Yes, General."
Liver, who was sitting beside Esdeath, frowned as he looked at her. "But General, do we really not need to deal with Night Raid?"
"According to the information revealed by the multiverse projection, the Empire will be overthrown by those rats. Don't we need to take measures?"
Compared to the later rankings, Liver, as a former Imperial General, still felt some attachment to the Empire.
Knowing that Bulat hadn't died and that the videos shown by the multiverse projection were fragments from the future...
...he had been wanting to save the Empire and prevent Night Raid and the Revolutionary Army from toppling the thousand-year rule.
"No need to worry." Esdeath stood up and said with a smile, "If the Empire is overthrown, it just means it was too weak. The Emperor and the Minister are simply incompetent."
"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Besides, even if we lose, it doesn't matter; it just means we were too weak."
Esdeath's tone was very flat, as if the Empire losing was no big deal.
Liver didn't argue after hearing this; he just nodded slightly.
"However, I am somewhat interested in that boy named Tatsumi. With his willpower and resolve, it's a bit of a waste for him to join Night Raid."
Esdeath stroked her chin, the image of Tatsumi's youthful yet determined face appearing in her mind. She smiled and said, "If those were fragments from the future..."
"...then the boy named Tatsumi shouldn't have joined Night Raid yet. Send word to the Capital and have the Minister send people to find this Tatsumi."
"He's a talent worth molding."
"Yes!" Liver nodded and walked out of the military camp.
Inside Night Raid Headquarters.
Unaware of Esdeath's plan, Tatsumi was currently having a private chat with Tanjiro.
He hoped to obtain the Breathing Technique from the other's world.
There was no other way. To break the deadlock and save everyone, he had to acquire even greater power.
As long as everyone had power approaching Esdeath's, then so many accidents wouldn't happen.
Currently, the multiverse projection was the best place to obtain power. Many figures had appeared in the comments section.
However, due to a lack of information, Najenda didn't know who the people in the comments were or what kind of power they could bring to them.
So, it was better to look at the performance of the characters in the ranking videos and choose the most suitable power to strengthen themselves.
"It's not working, Boss." Tatsumi looked at Najenda with some helplessness and continued, "Tanjiro really wants to teach us the Breathing Techniques, but he says he must get Mr. Sakonji's permission first."
"No rush. We won't go on missions for the next few days. Even for the most ordinary mission, the whole team must go together."
Najenda said in a flat tone. Knowing that her team members would suffer casualties, she had to be careful. Plus, there weren't many missions lately, so she wouldn't send her members to their deaths for a small job.
Furthermore, regarding Tatsumi's ranking, she knew that even if they successfully overthrew the Empire in the future, it would take quite a long time.
"Boss, don't we need to contact others? Those Stands, Innate Territory, and the so-called Noble Phantasms."
Mine looked at Najenda and asked. In fact, she was quite interested in Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms.
As a girl who used a gun, she was very interested in that type of power.
"Not for now."
Najenda took a puff of her cigarette and said flatly, "Those powers are too mysterious. We don't understand them at all. Breathing Techniques are simpler, easier to master, and good for increasing strength."
Akame nodded slightly and said calmly, "The Boss is right."
"Don't bite off more than you can chew." Bulat also agreed with Najenda's words.
