Those clear blue eyes, as beautiful as gemstones, stared directly into my own pair of eyes.
The gaze radiated an immense sense of curiosity, as if she were trying to peel back the contents of my mind. The atmosphere inside this silent room suddenly felt incredibly intense.
"The doctor said that your body actually didn't suffer any serious physical injuries or anything life-threatening. You're just extremely exhausted," the girl continued, explaining my condition in a gentle yet firm tone.
The mysterious girl in front of me then tilted her head slightly to the right.
It was a natural movement that caused several strands of her long, fiery red hair to fall freely past her shoulders, creating a beautiful contrast with the simple dress she was wearing.
"You look as though you haven't slept for months because of traveling such a long distance. That's why your body has become this weak," the red-haired girl added while continuing to observe every slight change in my facial expression.
The girl's melodious voice now sounded even more curious. Meanwhile, her slender fingers were tightly intertwined over the lap of her faded, simple dress, as she patiently waited for a response or even a single word to leave my mouth.
"By the way, how did you suddenly fall from the sky?" the girl pressed further, narrowing her eyes slightly as she demanded a reasonable explanation for the strange phenomenon that had happened to me.
"The townspeople were extremely shocked and panicked when they saw you falling from the sky right in the center of our town," the girl added, staring intently at me as she waited for an answer to the silence that had briefly formed between us.
"That... Sorry, but could I know where this place is first?" I asked in return, putting on the most serious expression I could.
I tried hard to control my breathing and conceal the overwhelming nervousness that had suddenly filled my entire chest.
I deliberately changed the subject because I knew very well that my thoughts were currently in complete chaos.
Knowing my current geographical location was far more important and crucial than answering her barrage of questions that had come one after another without pause.
"You are currently in Uzushio Village, specifically within the territory belonging to the Uzumaki Clan," the red-haired girl answered, her words delivered with clear articulation and emphasis on every syllable.
Her voice sounded incredibly calm, yet it carried a deep sense of pride toward her homeland.
There was an air of authority in her eyes, as if emphasizing the highly respected position of the clan throughout this vast region.
Hearing that explanation, I immediately fell completely silent. My body froze in place, leaving only a blank stare directed at the wrinkles of the worn blanket covering half of my body.
My thoughts immediately wandered wildly in every direction, filled with new speculation. Once again, I had to accept the bitter reality that I was truly still stranded within the Naruto Multiverse.
More precisely, I had been thrown into another alternate world within the Naruto universe, one whose timeline I did not yet understand. I had no idea whether this was the distant past, the future, or an unfamiliar parallel dimension.
This new fact forced me to think extremely quickly. I had to immediately formulate a new and well-prepared strategy to survive and anticipate whatever dangers might come next in this place.
"I myself am not sure why I suddenly appeared in the sky," I finally answered in a deliberately calm voice.
I tried to control my tone so that I would sound as normal as possible in front of her.
I tried to give a faint smile to conceal the great secret about what had actually happened to me.
I certainly never expected something this crazy to happen in the course of my life. All this chaos began when I recklessly used the power of my own Mangekyo Sharingan, the forbidden technique known as Kagaseo.
I originally used that forbidden ocular technique for only one urgent and extremely crucial purpose in my original world.
At that time, I had to flee from the deadly pursuit of two powerful members of the Otsutsuki clan who continued to hunt me mercilessly, ready to take my life at any moment in the darkness between dimensions.
That tense incident happened when I was stranded in another confusing part of the world.
More precisely, I was in an alternate universe where the genders of all the main characters were completely reversed, a reality anomaly that was vastly different from the timeline of the main world.
That strange dimension was set in an ancient era, a time when Hashirama and Madara had only just founded Konoha after a long period of warfare.
They had only recently united their strength after enduring a dark history filled with bloodshed that had exhausted their souls.
However, after activating Kagaseo to tear open space, I instead lost control over my destination.
Rather than arriving safely at the precise coordinates I had intended, I was thrown out and suddenly appeared in the sky above this world, plummeting uncontrollably.
I fell from a great height because my entire supply of chakra and physical strength had been completely drained by the dimensional portal.
That enormous amount of chakra had been exhausted to perform an extreme leap, crossing the vast and unpredictable boundaries between universes.
Fortunately, this girl from the Uzumaki clan arrived just in time to save me from the death that awaited below.
Without her magical assistance at that moment, my body would have certainly been shattered upon impact with the hard and barren rocky ground far beneath me.
But of course, it was impossible for me to openly tell her the complicated truth about my journey across dimensions.
My common sense strongly warned me to remain highly vigilant around this stranger I had just met.
"I see. In that case, you should get some proper rest first so that your body can recover," the red-haired girl said as she adjusted her sitting position on the empty stool directly beside the bed where I was currently lying.
The girl's melodious voice had softened, as though she understood my condition, which still appeared extremely shaken and weak.
She seemed to think that I might be suffering from severe psychological trauma as a result of the terrifying and utterly unreasonable incident of falling from the sky.
"By the way, how were you able to float in the sky before you fell earlier?" I asked, deciding to turn the question back on her.
I was driven by immense curiosity about the strange phenomenon I had faintly sensed when my consciousness was on the verge of completely fading away.
I really wanted to know whether there was some high-level medical Ninjutsu or special Fuinjutsu in this village capable of manipulating the Earth's gravity.
I wondered whether the Uzumaki clan possessed some ancient secret technique that allowed a person to freely fly through the air with perfect control.
If such an incredible technique that defied the laws of nature truly existed, I desperately wanted to study it in depth.
I would find a clever way to master that secret while I temporarily remained within the territory of this unfamiliar ancient land.
The ability to fly would certainly be extremely useful when exploring this new world, or whenever I was forced to travel between dimensions again in the future.
That had now become one of my primary goals in life, all so I could prepare myself for the worst possibilities that might arise in the future. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Whether I was forced to return to another alternate Naruto world that I had yet to discover and that possessed an even higher level of danger.
Or perhaps I might travel to a new world located far beyond the scope of the Naruto Multiverse, where I could finally live peacefully without interference from anyone.

As a Blacksmith in the World of Jujutsu Kaisen
My name is Kenji Satoshi. In my first life, I worked as a Game Item Designer—someone who designed weapons, artifacts, and various objects with strange functions for virtual worlds. My days were spent in front of a screen, drowning in endless work. Like an ending far too common, I died from exhaustion. Nothing dramatic—just darkness… and then I woke up again.
When I opened my eyes, I realized I was inside the body of a small child, bearing the exact same name as mine. That confusion, however, quickly turned into fear. This world was not the Earth I knew. I saw Cursed Spirits—creatures that should have existed only in anime. The strangeness deepened when I saw the name of the Shinomiya Family on television, and discovered Kuoh City while searching for information on the internet.
That was when I understood. This was not an ordinary world, but a crossover world formed from various anime I had once watched. A dangerous world—chaotic, unforgiving, and utterly hostile to an ordinary person like me. A simple yet terrifying question kept echoing in my mind: could I survive here?
The answer came when I was attacked by a Cursed Spirit and nearly died. At the very edge of destruction, something within me awakened—my Innate Technique. I gained the ability to forge, create, and reconstruct various objects with diverse functions using Cursed Energy.
This power did not make me strong from the start. My energy reserves were limited, and every creation carried its own risks. But one thing was certain—I would survive. In this cursed world, I would forge my own path.
As the White Spider-Man in Earth-76 with the Spider-Man System
My name is Dante Arashi, a man of mixed Japanese–American descent who lived a quiet, uneventful life in a small rural village in Japan. That night, I was walking alone through the forest, trying to shake off the exhaustion and irritation left behind by an especially frustrating day. The humid air clung to my skin, the chorus of cicadas echoed endlessly, and a cold breeze brushed against the treetops, rustling the leaves as if they were whispering secrets meant only for the dark.
For reasons I couldn’t quite explain, I kept walking deeper into the forest. Perhaps my mind simply needed distance from the suffocating rhythm of everyday life. Then, without any warning at all, a strange spider leaped down from a branch and bit into my hand.
The pain was unnatural—far beyond that of an ordinary insect bite. It felt as if fire had seeped directly into my bloodstream, spreading rapidly throughout my entire body. My heart pounded wildly out of rhythm, my head throbbed as though it were being struck again and again by a heavy hammer, and my vision spun violently, like a broken carousel spiraling out of control.
Seconds later… everything went completely dark.
When I finally regained consciousness, the world had changed.
I was no longer in the Japan I knew.
I had arrived in the Marvel Universe—Earth-76. As if that alone wasn’t insane enough, a Spider-Man System appeared inside my mind, offering abilities and functions that could make my life as Spider-Man far easier… or plunge it into even greater chaos.
I knew a little about this world—its characters, its enemies, its global threats—but Earth-76 was not a storyline I had ever read in any comic. There were new variables, new dangers, and unfamiliar elements that had never been told in any version before.
Now, I must answer one critical question: Can I survive as Spider-Man in a world where even legendary heroes can fall at any moment? And if I fail—will this world still have any hope left?]
