Chapter 1 : Charming Villain List

Ninja World.

Konohagakure, Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind his desk, pondering recent peculiar events. He couldn't help but light a cigarette. For some reason, translucent screens had appeared all over the Ninja world, densely scattered throughout.

These screens weren't limited to the Ninja Villages; even smaller villages and towns had them. Initially, Hiruzen suspected it might be a form of surveillance ninjutsu used by other villages against the Land of Fire. However, it soon became apparent that even smaller countries like the Land of Waves had them.

Realizing this matter wasn't as straightforward as he'd thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen called out to his secretary outside the door, "Prepare for the Five Kages Summit!"

"Yes, Third Hokage-sama."

Shinigami World.

Seireitei, a conference hall.

Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni stood at the center, supported by his cane, flanked by the other twelve captains of the Gotei 13.

"The primary reason for gathering here is the appearance of these unexplained screens in the human world," Yamamoto stated.

Captain Mayuri, the head of the Technology Development Bureau, was questioned by the commander-in-chief. Kurotsuchi Mayuri candidly replied, "Based on my research, these sudden translucent screens closely resemble projectors used in the human world, but their technology is far superior to ours."

As Mayuri explained, the captains began to grasp the situation. However, Aizen, Gin, and Kaname Tosen felt that events were taking an unexpected turn.

One Punch World.

City A.

The Heroes' Association headquarters.

Sitch had called all the S-Class heroes for a meeting, and to his surprise, among them was a B-Class hero, Saitama, the Bald Cape Man.

"Heroes, I have unfortunate news. The great prophet Shibabawa has passed away," Sitch announced. "Her last words were about the end of the world."

The S-Class heroes were left stunned and speechless. Shibabawa's predictions had been almost 100% accurate in the past, helping the Hero Association prevent numerous disasters.

Atomic Samurai spoke up, "Could this prophecy be related to the screens that have appeared recently?"

Zombieman added, "I believe it might be connected. The worldwide coverage of these screens matches Lord Shibabawa's prophecy."

Tatsumaki chimed in, "I've conducted an analysis of the screen's material, but I've found nothing. It doesn't seem to belong to our world. I wonder what Metal Knight has discovered..."

Drive Knight, who noticed that Metal Knight was absent from the meeting, grew more suspicious that the screens might be his creation.

Pirate World.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Marine Marshal Sengoku addressed the three Admirals, "What are your thoughts on the screens that have recently appeared both at sea and on land?"

Sakazuki, always focused on his duty, replied, "Currently, all I know is that these screens cover the entire world, and their material is so tough that I couldn't break them with a single punch."

Kizaru, with his laid-back demeanor, added with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh, it's terrifying, not breaking them with a punch."

Seeing Kizaru's nonchalant attitude, Sengoku knew better than to expect much from him.

Aokiji, however, was the most reliable of the three. He confessed, "I haven't discovered much. These screens appeared overnight, hanging in the air, but they haven't disrupted daily life."

Sengoku sighed and disbanded the three Admirals, planning to consult with Garp and Tsuru to gain more insights into these mysterious screens.

Late at night.

Internet cafe lobby, tucked away in a corner.

Ryan, rubbing his sore shoulders, exclaimed, "The video editing is complete. I can release it in the anime world!"

As a traveler, Ryan possessed a system that allowed him to project into different anime worlds and gain item rewards by collecting emotional points from the characters. These rewards ranged from food, accommodation, and travel to various abilities like Ninjutsu, Zanpakuto, Devil Fruits, superpowers, and more.

Seeing the "editing successful" message on the computer screen, Ryan eagerly pressed the Enter key.

Simultaneously, screens lit up in the Ninja World, Shinigami World, One Punch World, and Pirate World.

A message appeared above them all.
