Another Naruto

During the Chunin Exams in Konoha,

Familiar faces filled the stands.

Anxious and nervous Haruno Sakura, the Twelve Guardians, the Sandaime Hokage with intact arms, the Elder Council of Konoha, and an innocent-looking Uzumaki Naruto.

In the arena, the air was filled with dense gravel, and at the center of the sandstorm stood Gaara with a cold gaze.

"Sasuke! That panda guy is so strong!" Naruto's eyes gleamed with astonishment as he shouted, his expression soon turning somewhat worried.

"Damn it, can't arrogant Sasuke stop him? He may be a little better than me, but he shouldn't be unable to handle this."

"This Sand Ninja can control so much sand, but he's still no match for me, Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto here seemed like a reckless youth.

"Caw, caw, caw." On the other side, a piercing cry of thousands of birds echoed, causing everyone to instinctively cover their ears.

Sasuke's right hand ignited a dazzling Chidori, with boiling chakra surging within it, possessing a power capable of piercing through anything.

"What an amazing ninjutsu! Damn it, Sasuke has become so strong!" Naruto looked at Sasuke with envy, then felt a bit resentful.

"Damn it! Sasuke's progress is so fast!"

He slammed his fist hard against the railing, but his disappointment lasted less than three seconds before he regained his vigor and roared, "I, Uzumaki Naruto, will definitely surpass that arrogant Sasuke and become the Hokage!"

"The talent of your village is quite impressive." The Kazekage disguised as Orochimaru glanced at the small mark on Sasuke's neck, revealing a smile and whispered softly.

"Not bad at all. Sasuke is quite a remarkable talent among our generation." Hearing the praise, the Sandaime Hokage smiled warmly.

Little did he know that what would happen next would lead him directly into death's embrace.

Just as Sasuke was preparing to attack, suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.

In the next moment, everyone present looked up in horror, their souls trembling.

It was a fear that originated from the depths of their souls.

A deep black gate condensed in the void.

Amidst everyone's astonished gaze, the gate slowly opened.

A tall figure walked out from it.

Radiant golden hair, pure and clear azure eyes, and the iconic six whisker marks.

Gentle and refined, full of mystery.

"Naruto! Is it Naruto?!" Exclamations filled the air.

Although the mysterious figure that appeared looked exactly like the Naruto they knew, it gave them a completely different feeling.

They looked at Naruto on the stands.

One was a fool, and the other was composed and calm.

The contrast was too great.

"Oh my god, this must be a joke! Is this really Naruto? Why is he so handsome?!" On the stands, the Twelve Guardians couldn't believe their eyes, covering their mouths in disbelief, their eyes filled with astonishment as they scanned between Naruto and the other Naruto.

"They look exactly the same, but the difference in aura is staggering." Choji's hand holding the potato chips froze in mid-air, not even noticing the chips that fell.

For someone as obsessed with snacks as her, this was extremely rare.

Choji spoke what was on everyone's mind.

"Ah, ah, ah! Why did Naruto suddenly become so handsome?! Oh my god!" Sakura looked at Naruto in shock, recalling the pursuit of her by the original Naruto and replacing that Naruto with the current Naruto.

Naruto, like a prince charming, kneeled down on one knee and gently kissed the back of her hand.

Sakura felt her face turning red, a warm stream flowing through her body, feeling extremely shy.

She even had the impulse to start a romantic relationship with Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, you look so handsome." Hinata blushed and lowered her head, occasionally stealing glances at Naruto and gently tapping her fingers.

"What the hell! Is this a joke?! Is that really Naruto? How did he suddenly become so cool?" Ino, who was always straightforward, couldn't help but blurt out in doubt, her skeptical gaze scanning between Naruto and the other Naruto, questioning, "Naruto, I never knew you had the potential to be a hottie."

"What did you say?! This great me is the real Uzumaki Naruto! I am the most handsome!" The Naruto being ridiculed by his classmates turned red in the face and directly roared.

"Who is this?!" The Sandaime Hokage looked at the face that looked exactly like Naruto's in shock, but compared to the Naruto he knew, this Naruto lacked the immaturity and instead had the same maturity and tenderness as the Yondaime Hokage.

"What is this?!" The disguised Orochimaru, still posing as the Kazekage, continuously examined Naruto and the other Naruto, unable to hide his curiosity and investigative nature.

From both individuals, he sensed similar yet different chakra.

The more mature and handsome Naruto clearly possessed a more surging power.

Moreover, even Orochimaru himself felt a hint of threat from Naruto.

As a scientist, he immediately dared to make a bold hypothesis.

Assuming that both Uzumaki Naruto were real, that would mean this handsome Naruto came from another time and space.

Orochimaru had once studied time and space.

In his view, perhaps there were Orochimarus from the past and the future, and these different times and dimensions of himself might coincide at a certain time and place.

Or perhaps,

Mastering the power to control time and space, thus being able to travel to another world.

"Could it be that this Naruto comes from another world?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes with seriousness.

He prepared to carefully observe the situation that would follow.

Hoping it wouldn't interfere with his plan to destroy Konoha.

After passing through the black gate, Naruto's surroundings suddenly brightened, accompanied by thunderous exclamations.

The familiar venue awakened his memories.

"Is this the Chunin Exams?"

His gaze fell upon the faces of the Twelve Guardians.

At this age, the Twelve Guardians still appeared quite naive.

Then he looked at his counterpart in this world.

Although they looked exactly the same, there was a sense of dullness, as if lacking intelligence.

"Hey!! You, the person who looks exactly like me, get down here!!" The Naruto below shouted at Naruto.

"So, this is how I would be influenced by that power? If I hadn't awakened my spiritual pressure, I might have been like that too." Naruto silently shook his head as he watched the Naruto below shouting and yelling.

He then turned his gaze to where the Sandaime Hokage was, resting his eyes on the intact arms of the Sandaime Hokage, his expression playful.

It seemed that the plan to destroy Konoha in this world hadn't started yet, and the Sandaime Hokage hadn't become the one-armed hero.

And next to the Sandaime Hokage, the Kazekage disguised as Orochimaru soon made eye contact with Naruto.

"Orochimaru, who hasn't been exposed yet. I wonder if Orochimaru can successfully kill the Sandaime Hokage without my influence."

Naruto's slightly playful gaze quickly caught Orochimaru's attention.

He frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Does this guy, who looks exactly like the Uzumaki Naruto from his world, know me?

Why does it feel like he has completely seen through my disguise?

And it seems like he knows me well.

Could it be that in another world, this Naruto and I had some interactions?

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Naruto's interest completely piqued Orochimaru's curiosity.

"Damn it!!! That person who looks just like me!!! Stop using my face!" With no response forthcoming and with his classmates praising Naruto and ridiculing him, the Naruto below grew angrier. He kicked his legs hard and leaped towards the hovering Naruto in the air, throwing a punch.

"It seems that the Naruto in this world is very hot-blooded, acting without thinking." Naruto's expression remained calm, the gentle smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold demeanor.

"Bakudō #9. Geki." 

The yellow Reiatsu lines skillfully wrapped around the body of the Naruto below, binding him into a shape resembling a rice dumpling.

Deprived of upward momentum, the Naruto below fell straight down, his chakra inside his body becoming silent. He screamed in fear.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?!" The stands erupted in exclamations, and several high-level shinobi, led by Kakashi, immediately appeared in the arena.

Kakashi caught the falling Naruto and looked at Naruto with a serious expression.

The battle was disrupted, and both Gaara and Sasuke were a bit displeased.

Gaara's eyes radiated a killing intent, and the sand around him started to stir.

"Who are you? This is the site of the Chunin Exams in Konoha. Do you understand the consequences of trespassing?" Kakashi asked in a solemn tone.

The remaining high-level shinobi surrounded Naruto, attempting to undo the Geki, but they all failed.

The surging Reiatsu contained in the Geki was beyond the ability of ordinary shinobi to withstand.

"Me?" Faced with the inquisitive gazes, Naruto chuckled lightly, his mouth curving into a cold and mocking smile.

"I am the Uzumaki Naruto from another world."

After saying that, he looked at the fallen Naruto on the ground and said coldly, "Hand over the power within you, and I might consider giving you a chance for Konoha's survival."
