"It seems the Glamoth incident was merely the beginning of your research?"
Ruan Mei keenly noticed that the two people before her seemed to have lingering desires, and a profound smile instantly appeared beneath her gentle and elegant demeanor.
Screwllum emitted an electronic sound that resembled a sigh: "Sirs, this kind of experimental research is too dangerous, and there is the hidden risk of attracting attention from entities like the Interstellar Peace Corporation and Seat #4..."
"Other Path factions and interstellar powers might not sit idly by either."
"This kind of experiment is truly too hazardous!"
The mechanical gentleman spoke gravely, yet as he spoke, his tone shifted, and he proposed steadily: "Therefore, sirs, under these circumstances, perhaps it would be best to find partners to share the surging risks?"
"What are your thoughts on this?"
Screwllum mused that as long as the Aeons did not intervene directly, with the few of them working together, all risks would cease to be risks—
Even if Seat #4 came knocking.
Hermes and Herta exchanged glances, both seeing a flash of amusement in the other's eyes, and then nodded in mutual understanding.
Why would they refuse a super worker who was rushing to join them?
...The year 2012, Earth.
Early morning.
Yagami Taichi strolled down the streets of Tokyo, frowning as he watched another "zero-dollar purchase" incident occurring inside a large shopping mall around the corner ahead.
In the short hour since he had arrived in this world, counting this time, he had already witnessed three such incidents!
"Living in an environment plagued by such frequent chaos, Hikari's living conditions..."
Yagami Taichi didn't care whether this world was chaotic or not; the key issue was that his beloved little sister lived in such a place. Could her safety be guaranteed?
"Also, why can't I sense the existence of the Digital World in this world?"
Frowning deeply, Yagami Taichi rushed forward, filled with worry.
Finding Hikari sooner was the priority. As for everything else?
What did that have to do with Yagami Taichi?
Although he was a savior, he was not a partner of justice.
"...Leomon, King of Beasts, the proud hero! Lord Leomon possesses a strong will and a heart of justice. As the guardian deity of Tokyo, he has once again repelled the invading evil Headless Spectre, preserving the hard-won peace of Tokyo!"
Just then.
A bizarre... advertisement? suddenly popped up on an LCD screen.
But... Leomon? Guardian deity of Tokyo? Headless Spectre?
What in the world was this?
Yagami Taichi, who was rushing along, was nearly choked by this sudden "advertisement."
Realizing that something was wrong, Yagami Taichi still... did not stop.
Glancing once more at the bizarre content on the billboard, Yagami Taichi kept his eyes straight ahead, hurrying to find his beloved sister immediately in this strange, mysterious, and odd world.
He felt like this world was becoming increasingly dangerous... But in the next moment.
A shimmering screen, flickering with bright red light, suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Upon it.
Lines of text, resembling cutscenes from a video game, continuously unfolded before him.
At the very bottom, there was a constantly ticking countdown timer.
[29:59]
"A half-hour countdown?"
Yagami Taichi narrowed his eyes. Was this also a feature of this world?
Just then, he noticed screams suddenly erupting all around him.
Faintly, he could hear fragmented shouts like, "Dungeon!" "The dungeon is here!" "A countdown has appeared here!" and "Quick, notify the police!"
Sounds of this nature were incessant.
"WarGreymon, have you discovered anything?"
Yagami Taichi's expression became completely solemn as his mental power connected with his partner, who was currently inside the Digivice.
"Taichi, there are no fluctuations of Digital World power."
WarGreymon's power completely enveloped Taichi, yet he found nothing.
Yagami Taichi, his expression fluctuating, paused slightly, immediately changed his direction, found a large shopping mall, and slipped inside.
Since the situation was unclear, it was best not to bring potential danger near his sister.
It would not be too late to reunite after everything was resolved.
Lumine: "A small temple attracts big trouble. Why do I feel like little monsters keep running out here, unafraid of death, just looking for a beating? My nine-person Miko squad isn't capable of handling scenes like this yet..."
Lumine: "@Konan, did you finish off Hanzō the Salamander?"
Konan: "..."
Konan: "Hanzō the Salamander has been reduced to ashes, but the bad news is that things have actually gotten a bit worse."
Konan: "Even though there was no trigger for the Land of Rain to declare war this time, the Ninja World War still broke out."
Konan: "More crucially, one of the main battlefields of the war is still the Land of Rain..."
In Amegakure, Konan put down the intelligence scroll in her hand and rubbed her forehead tiredly.
Her gaze was fixed intently on one piece of information: Konoha had sent out several more squads of suspected Root Ninja, who were lingering outside Amegakure... "Konoha! I originally didn't want to bother with you too much out of respect for Jiraiya-sensei, but now you're taking an inch and demanding a mile, aren't you!"
Konan's eyes glowed faintly, and the chill emanating from her was bone-chilling and terrifying.
She was already getting a massive headache from the sudden outbreak of war.
Fortunately, the Land of Rain was currently strong and prosperous, and with the three leaders—Konan, Uzumaki Nagato, and Yahiko—gathered together, even the Five Great Nations had to carefully consider the consequences before attempting anything.
Therefore, although it was one of the main battlefields, the losses caused by the destructive power of the war were not significant.
For the time being, Konan tolerated it.
But... "Land of Fire... Konoha Village!!"
If it were anything else, Konan could console herself by prioritizing the bigger picture, but now, these Root Ninja were clearly targeting Nagato's Rinnegan!
This completely touched the taboo in Konan's heart!
Lumine: "Fight! Fight!"
Lumine: "Konan, it's time for the harmonious mushroom cloud to rise slowly from the Ninja World!"
Lumine: "Who doesn't know the worth of a six hundred billionaire sugar mommy? It's time to let those bumpkins in the Ninja World know the weight of humanitarian brilliance!"
Froze: "Konan, although the Admin's words are a bit rough, there is nothing wrong with them."
Froze: "Since you have the ability and the inclination, then there is no need to hesitate."
Froze: "Before, when you didn't make a move, we couldn't say much; after all, the Ninja World is your world, but now things are different..."
Froze: "Sometimes, cutting the Gordian knot swiftly is also a great act of kindness."
