Uchiha Aotian
The two of them turned around at the same time and saw a young man in his twenties standing there casually, loudly marveling at the Blue-Ice White Night Dragon.
The young man had short black hair and regular features. He was no stunningly handsome guy, but he carried himself with enough presence to be considered quite a catch. What startled the two Dukes was that his eyes were completely different from those of ordinary people—the irises and pupils were both grayish white. Moreover, his outfit was identical to Naruto World’s Duke’s: Konoha’s standard green flak jacket.
What was going on? Could two people transmigrate into the same world?
The two Dukes exchanged a glance and saw the same confusion in each other’s eyes.
"Eh, there are people here?" The young man finally pulled his gaze away from the Blue-Ice White Night Dragon and noticed the others.
Anyone who could enter the Unknown Space was one of their own. The two Dukes did not stand on ceremony and stepped forward, each placing a hand on him as they began merging their memories. After a while, all three sighed in amazement after the fusion, deeply impressed by the endless oddities of countless worlds.
If High Elf Duke’s experience in Azeroth had been shocking, then this young man’s situation left them utterly speechless. Just as his obvious features suggested, he had transmigrated into the Hokage World and become a Jonin of the Hyuga Branch Family. He had leaped from being a proctology doctor in his original world to a bloodline-limit Jonin. Among all the Dukes, his luck ranked easily among the top three.
It was just that the Hokage World Byakugan Duke had transmigrated into was somewhat different… the whole style was off!
The original owner of this body, a Byakugan Jonin also named Hyūga Duke, had died at the hands of Sand Hidden Village ninjas during the Chunin Exam. He had then taken over the corpse and returned to life. Familiar with the plot and possessing a Byakugan with enormous development potential, he had been planning to make a name for himself with the legendary X-Style Tai Chi when he suddenly discovered that the script and dialogue were all wrong.
His Naruto had gone completely off the rails!
First, the biggest change: not only had the Uchiha clan not been wiped out, they were thriving. They were now Konoha’s universally praised great noble clan. In Konoha, whenever the Uchiha clan was mentioned, everyone would raise a thumb and praise them as selfless, upright, noble in character, and willing to sacrifice themselves for others…
In short, people said whatever sounded good.
The Uchiha clan was deeply beloved by the public. They even got a twenty-percent discount when buying groceries, and buying an old hen came with two free farm eggs.
Second, Tsunade-hime, the Big Fat Sheep famous throughout the gambling world, had not left Konoha as she had in the original story. Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who should have died at Orochimaru’s hands, was still alive and kicking. After passing the position of Hokage to Tsunade, he had switched careers to become the Hokage’s assistant.
The original Hokage assistant, Shimura Danzō, had caught a cold while doing morning exercises in the park ten years ago and had long since died.
What the hell!
Danzo, who had Hashirama Cells implanted in him, had died from a cold? Was that supposed to fool anyone?
Could they not come up with a more convincing excuse? Even saying he had choked to death on a fish bone while eating fish would have been better than a cold!
The utterly unrecognizable plot had scared Byakugan Duke into planning to eat several bowls of ramen to calm himself down. Yet at Ichiraku Ramen, he saw the little brother-obsessed guy posing dramatically alongside Uchiha Sasuke… Well, since that guy had not slaughtered the entire clan, naturally he had not defected either.
"I’ve never heard of anyone named Mitarashi Duke in Konoha!" Byakugan Duke declared with absolute certainty.
Even without him saying so, the other two, having exchanged memories, knew that the Naruto world he was in was likely another world entirely. And there was a reason why the plot had changed so drastically. In Byakugan Duke’s Konoha, the most famous figure was not any of the previous Hokage, but the current Uchiha clan head—the Uchiha Aotian known as the ‘man like a god’!
Speaking of this Uchiha Aotian, there was simply no one else like him. He awakened the Sharingan at one, gained the Mangekyo Sharingan at three, crushed the long-famous Hatake Sakumo at five, and evolved his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan into a Rinnegan at ten. Along the way, he had even won over Konoha’s most beautiful flower, Tsunade-hime.
And that was not all. Yūhi Kurenai, Uzuki Yugao, Anko, Shizune, and the rest—any woman who had shown her face in the original work had not escaped him. He had taken every last one into his harem. He had now even set his sights on the underage next generation, often taking Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten out to scoop goldfish. Some time ago, he had also brought back Haku, an Ice Release Bloodline user, from outside the village. No one knew whether Haku was male or female, but those delicate features were real enough.
According to rumors, Kushina, the widow of the Fourth Hokage, and even the wife of vice clan head Fugaku Uchiha had unclear relationships with him.
Upon hearing this, Byakugan Duke felt only a faint sorrow. He roughly understood what had happened. He had indeed transmigrated, but he had transmigrated into a fanfiction called Naruto that was actually "True Bulldozer."
With strength as overwhelming as Uchiha Aotian’s, one could imagine that even if Ōtsutsuki Kaguya broke free of her seal, she would only be fated to end up in his bed. Asura, Indra, the Sage of Six Paths—every one of them would have to step aside. If Uchiha Aotian told them to stand, they would not dare stand on their heads.
"I suspect he has a system!" Byakugan Duke said enviously.
"An exchange system, or a monster-grinding level-up system?" High Elf Duke’s eyes lit up. Systems had been rather popular lately.
"A system that levels him up by sleeping with girls! Based on my analysis, every time he beds a girl, his strength rises by a whole tier."
"No way!" A Certain Magical Index Duke immediately rejected the idea and pointed out the flaw. "Before he was ten, even if he wanted to, he’d have lacked the ability!"
High Elf Duke agreed as well. Reasoning had to be based on reality; they could not just make things up. Bedding girls at the age of one was far too fantastical.
"You’re too innocent. Nobody said he couldn’t use his hands."
"…" The two Dukes collapsed in defeat.
Byakugan Duke sighed gloomily. "If Uchiha Aotian discovers that I’m also a transmigrator, I’ll probably catch a cold too. Good thing I transmigrated as a soul. Otherwise, my life would be forfeit!"
High Elf Duke nodded repeatedly. If he found a fellow transmigrator in Azeroth, he would absolutely eliminate them before they made their fortune. The world was too small and there were too few girls; one world could not accommodate two transmigrators.
As for resistance, they should think about how to hide themselves instead! Byakugan Duke was merely a Jonin. What difference was there between him and an ant before a Rinnegan?
"Why would there be a transmigrator like Uchiha Aotian? Wasn’t Naruto technology builds the popular trend now?" Byakugan Duke asked. His path as a transmigrator had been far too difficult.
The enemy was too powerful. Even with the boosts from all the Dukes, he would be no match. And as the other man continued further down his path of bedding women, his strength would keep rising by leaps and bounds. The chances of catching up were exceedingly slim.
"Technology builds can’t compare to bloodline builds, especially in Naruto," A Certain Magical Index Duke replied.
As the saying went, bloodlines determined potential, and talent set the ceiling! So-called Naruto was all about competing over fathers. First there had been Madara and Obito, then Itachi and Sasuke, plus Shisui, who only made cameo appearances. The Uchiha clan had forcibly turned Tale of the Gutsy Ninja into Legend of the Eyes through a lineup of handsome male gods, attracting a huge crowd of eye-fanatics.
It was hardly surprising for a flop author to write an Uchiha male lead like Aotian in order to cater to the market. Add in the gratifying elements of a system plus bedding girls, and the sales would be ridiculously good.
Byakugan Duke sighed mournfully, but High Elf Duke comforted him. "Be content. You’ve got it pretty good. I still have to face Arthas head-on once I leave here, and later I’ll have to confront Sargeras! No matter how strong Uchiha Aotian is, can he be stronger than Sargeras?"
"The Burning Legion! Then you’re worse off than I am." Seeing someone even more miserable, Byakugan Duke immediately felt much better.
"Actually, your worries are completely unnecessary," A Certain Magical Index Duke said. "Once that flop author finishes writing all the satisfying parts of Naruto, Uchiha Aotian might just ascend to One Piece."
"Right, that’s popular now." Byakugan Duke slapped his fist into his palm, suddenly delighted. "Uchiha Aotian is too strong. The power system has long since collapsed. Maybe one day the story will get cut short, and he’ll turn into a vegetative state patient."
A Certain Magical Index Duke snarked, "If it really gets cut short, that world might disappear, and you’d be finished too. What’s there to be happy about?"
Byakugan Duke was struck dumb. Right, what if the world disappeared?
Just as he was engulfed by despairing negative emotions and lay sprawled on the ground like a salted fish, the tardy Dukes finally arrived.
"Newcomer?"
"It’s an elf!"
"What’s with that salted fish on the ground? Did we miss something?"
