The continuous ding ding echoed endlessly, but to Shinji, it sounded like the most beautiful music in the world. From those sounds, he saw one of his favorite techniques appear—the Special Beam Cannon.
This was Piccolo's signature move, a terrifying attack that required half a day of concentrated charging. When Shinji slammed it into the system tablet, he never expected it to be absorbed directly into the reward column. That alone shocked him, but what happened next stunned him even more.
When Shinji retrieved the skill, it didn't fire outward. Instead, it circled around his body before flowing directly into him.
"Hiss—!" Shinji felt the energy settle inside his body. "Did I just… directly learn the Special Beam Cannon?" He marveled at the system's power.
In Piccolo's hands, this move could pierce through entire star systems with a single shot. However, with Shinji's current strength, he estimated that he could at most pierce through a mountain. Even so, that was already terrifying. Besides, there were still many more rewards waiting for him.
Naruto World
Everyone was deeply curious about the technique Tobirama had obtained—Instant Transmission. Just from the name alone, they could guess its function.
Far away in Hell, Kakarot was speechless. "Why are all the good techniques mine?" he complained. However, this time he was mistaken. Shinji had actually gifted the Instant Transmission of Shin, the Supreme Kai, a move capable of transporting multiple people across the universe, even to the World of Nothingness.
Tobirama's version was more limited, as he could only teleport between planets. Even so, this was already terrifying. As long as Tobirama wished, there was nowhere in the entire ninja world he couldn't reach.
Shinji once again opened the broadcast camera and demonstrated the power of Instant Transmission to everyone.
Douluo Dalu World
Tang San, who had already become a God King, couldn't help but sigh. "I didn't expect Senju Tobirama to be so lucky as to obtain Instant Transmission." Even as a God King, the ability to teleport across planets made him extremely envious.
A hint of greed flashed in his eyes. Although it wasn't his turn yet, he had already begun planning how he would secure victory.
One-Punch Man World
Boros, the Cosmic Conqueror, sat aboard his spaceship with a wide grin stretching nearly to his eyes. "This Multiverse Battlefield is truly a wonderful place! If I am chosen, I will travel to countless unknown worlds and challenge opponents worthy of me!"
His subordinates were unsettled by his excitement and quietly moved away.
Meanwhile, Agni, the founder of the Hero Association, smiled joyfully. "I think this battlefield will be held many times. Perhaps one day, it will be our world's turn."
For now, the heroes could only wait patiently. They had no idea how long the Naruto and Pirate Worlds would continue fighting.
Naruto World
Ever since Tobirama's death, the four great nations had constantly eyed the Land of Fire, which possessed the richest resources. The Land of Earth had even fought the Third Great Ninja War against Konoha.
But now, Tobirama had returned. The heavy responsibility of maintaining peace once again fell upon him.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Tobirama used Instant Transmission and appeared directly inside Iwagakure.
Ōnoki, sitting in his office, felt a chill crawl up his spine. This technique was simply too terrifying. The distance between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth normally required several days of travel, yet Tobirama had arrived effortlessly.
Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi stiffened in fear. Ōnoki raised his hand calmly. "Stand down."
Tobirama spoke evenly, "Ōnoki, I didn't expect you'd still be Tsuchikage."
Ōnoki narrowed his eyes. "So it's the Second Hokage. What brings you to Iwagakure?"
"Since my brother and I died," Tobirama replied, "the ninja world has known nothing but war. So I brought a ceasefire agreement. You value peace, don't you?"
Although their last war ended more than a decade ago, Ōnoki knew he had no choice. As Hashirama's younger brother, Tobirama carried overwhelming authority. The only person in the ninja world who might rival him now was Might Guy—and even then, both were from Konoha.
Ōnoki signed without hesitation.
Seeing this, Tobirama nodded and vanished to visit the other villages.
After he left, Kitsuchi finally exhaled. "I never expected him to arrive so quickly. At least he didn't come to invade."
Ōnoki's gaze darkened. "It seems Konoha will lead the ninja world again."
Though unwilling, the other three nations also signed without resistance.
Konoha
Upon hearing that Tobirama had returned, Konohamaru rushed to the Hokage's office. After waiting nervously, he finally saw him.
"Second Grandpa! You're so cool!"
Tobirama, usually stern, softened slightly. "So you're the monkey's grandson. Do you want to become Hokage someday like your grandpa?"
Before Konohamaru could answer, Naruto shouted, "Second Grandpa! I'm the one who'll become Hokage!"
Pirate World
Akainu finally received his reward—resurrection.
The entire multiverse watched in anticipation. Who would he bring back?
Akainu trembled with excitement before laughing loudly. Finally… he could see that person again.
The Marines nearby were shocked. Even Sengoku had never seen Akainu smile like this.
"Resurrect my mother!" Akainu roared.
Golden light erupted. Moments later, a woman appeared with flowing golden hair and a youthful face that looked no older than thirty.
Akainu's pupils shrank violently as tears streamed down his face. This terrifying admiral—was crying.
The Marines were stunned. "Is that really… his mother?"
Akainu's iron heart melted. His mother blinked in confusion. "Sakazuki…? Is that you?"
Akainu, who had lost his parents to pirates and devoted his life to justice, felt like a child again. He pulled her into his arms and cried openly for the first time in decades.
