<<<Check out my new translation!! [Naruto: Infinite New World]!>>>

The last picture showed the Marvel Universe.

Since Dak wasn't familiar with Marvel's situation, he glanced at it and moved on.

Considering safety and economic development, Naruto was the only viable choice among the five.

"Alright, it's decided, Naruto."

Dak nodded, reaching out his hand. Before touching the picture, he gave his two dragons a final instruction, "No matter what happens next, don't panic. With Darkrai here, I won't be in danger."

He pointed to his shadow cast on the ground.

"Darkrai."

Darkrai extended his black claw, waving.

In fact, when Dak had maxed out his psychic abilities and Door-Door Fruit, he had already informed Darkrai.

He had the means to protect himself, so Darkrai didn't need to stay in his shadow all the time.

But Darkrai had his own opinion.

He told Dak that when Dak could defeat him, he would stop staying in his shadow.

However, Dak never fought Darkrai.

He realized that Darkrai seemed to enjoy being a recluse in his shadow rather than being miserable.

So Dak gave up the idea of fighting Darkrai.

As for the Naruto world, Dak was confident in his abilities.

At least in this time period, no one in the Naruto world could match him.

This included, but was not limited to, Obito and Nagato. Even Itachi's Amaterasu was just a bit tricky.

For some travelers, Obito's Kamui was a nuisance, but for Dak with the Door-Door Fruit, Obito was the easiest to deal with.

As long as it was a space, Dak could open a door to it.

Itachi's inextinguishable Amaterasu flames were more troublesome.

If Dak had regenerative abilities, he could cut off the part being burned, but unfortunately, he didn't.

However, it was only a minor inconvenience.

Dak could use the Door-Door Fruit to absorb Amaterasu or use his psychic abilities to restrain it.

As long as he wasn't touched by Amaterasu, he'd be fine.

Luckily, the Naruto world didn't have many reckless individuals, and Itachi wasn't someone who'd randomly use Amaterasu.

When Dak's finger touched the picture, he felt dizzy and fell into the scene.

Dialga and Palkia stood still, following Dak's instructions.

After Dak had been gone for two hours, Giratina arrived to find its two siblings, and they left together. Otherwise, they would've waited until Dak returned.

In another part of the Naruto world, southeastern Konoha.

This area was undeveloped, once given to a clan after the First Shinobi War, but the clan was wiped out in the Second Shinobi War, so the land remained mostly forested.

...

Konoha Year 59, November 3rd.

The dates matched those in the Alliance and Sea Circle calendars.

Snow fell on Konoha, covering the forest in white.

Three boys were bullying a well-behaved girl.

The reason was simple: the girl's eyes were white, without pupils, which they found scary.

In groups of children, exclusion often led to bullying, and this was a typical case.

The girl was Hinata, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Hyuga clan.

Earlier, she had sparred with her younger sister, Hanabi, and lost because she couldn't bring herself to hurt her three-year-old sister.

It was embarrassing for an eight-year-old to lose to a three-year-old, especially in a traditional clan where the future head being defeated by a branch member's child was disgraceful.

Hinata's father, Hiashi, scolded her harshly.

Heartbroken, Hinata ran away and ended up in this area, where she encountered the bullies.

With her Gentle Fist technique, she could easily defeat the three boys but chose not to fight back due to her kind nature.

She crouched, hugging her head, as the boys bullied her, her face red from the cold.

At that moment, a black hole appeared above, and someone fell through, landing on the boys.

"Hey... You didn't tell me the link would drop me here."

Dizzy, Dak felt something soft beneath him, but he wasn't hurt.

He patted his head, stood up, and looked around, realizing he was in an unknown forest during winter.

A soft, timid voice caught his attention, making him frown.

Still disoriented from the space-time turbulence, he hadn't immediately used his psychic abilities or Observation Haki to sense his surroundings.

Looking around, he couldn't find the source of the voice.

He became alert, not knowing there were such skilled individuals in the Naruto world.

The voice called out again, this time accompanied by a gentle tug.

Dak felt something pulling his pants and looked down.

A cute, timid face met his gaze.

If it were just that, Dak wouldn't think much of it. After all, this was the Naruto world, where encountering people wasn't unusual.

But the white eyes sparked his curiosity.

The Hyuga clan wouldn't allow their Byakugan to be seen by outsiders.

Especially not a small, cute girl like this.

The girl's identity and his location became clear without further investigation.

He had arrived in Konoha.

Dak looked at the little girl, feeling a bit nostalgic.

He had initially considered whether starting in Konoha would be a good idea but dismissed it.

This period was peaceful, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was overly confident in Konoha's strength, so the village might not be eager for Pokémon.

Unless Pain decided to attack tomorrow.

The best start would be in a non-Great Nation, preferably one recently disturbed.

For example, the Land of Snow.

The people there would be very interested in the power of Pokémon.

"Hello, little sister."

Dak snapped back to reality, focusing on Hinata. He playfully tapped her head.

Hinata covered her head, then shyly looked up at him, "Um... You stepped on them."

She pointed to the boys beneath Dak.

Dak followed her finger and saw the boys he had landed on.

"I knew the ground in Konoha couldn't be this soft."

He stepped aside.

The boys were unconscious but unharmed, having fainted from the impact.

Hinata couldn't understand why Dak was talking to his shadow, fearing he might be one of those "p*dos" her classmates talked about.

Hinata couldn't comprehend the true meaning of "p*dos."

Dak continued assessing his surroundings to determine the current time.

But he soon realized he might have interrupted Naruto's heroic rescue scene.

"Darkrai, check for anyone watching or approaching. If so, make them sleep."

Dak decided to have Darkrai scout.

He didn't want to be discovered by Konoha's Anbu or Root too soon, as it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Hinata watched Dak talk to his shadow, stepping back in fear.

A normal person wouldn't talk to their shadow.

With her Byakugan, she didn't see Darkrai leaving the shadow, thinking Dak was talking to himself.

She didn't dare to ask.

Naruto would have asked right away.

"Big brother, why are you talking to your shadow?"

A familiar voice startled Dak.

Turning, he saw a blond-haired boy with spiky hair.

Seeing the two children and thinking about their past and future, Dak couldn't help but smile.

Times had changed.

Dak no longer needed to be cautious; he was now a 'god' in two worlds.

So he decided to stir things up a bit.

Like sending these two kids to interact with people in the One Piece world.
