World Number Four, Kannabi Bridge.
"Whoosh!"
Main World Sasuke, carrying World Number Four's version of himself with one hand, appeared on the water surface not far away, with Naruto following closely behind.
Using the Eternal Mangekyō developed over several months to bully a Three Tomoe Sharingan user, even one with all of Orochimaru's knowledge, was definitely an easy task, not worth mentioning.
Lin Ke glanced down at his watch. It was almost four in the morning in the Main World, dawn was approaching, so why hadn't Sakura and the others arrived yet?
However, giving his team members a little trust, he wouldn't send a Net message to urge them before four thirty.
The four waited quietly for a few more minutes, when Utakata suddenly said, "There are six unfamiliar Chakra signatures approaching with Sakura and the others."
Main World Naruto clasped his hands together, and after a few seconds entered Sage Mode, closed his eyes to sense, and then opened them excitedly, "It's this world's me, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, and..."
He pondered for a long time, feeling very familiar but unable to recall who it was, and still hadn't figured it out even as the group approached.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Main World Sakura and Karin landed.
"Let's go, don't waste time." Lin Ke ignored the World Number Four Konoha Village six-man team following nearby, and gave Utakata a look.
He hadn't expected things to progress so smoothly, not only obtaining the Rinnegan and capturing Nagato and Konan, but also catching this world's reincarnation of Indra.
Obito had failed to rescue Nagato, nor had he obtained the Rinnegan.
Even if he could control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to create the Ten-Tails, he still wouldn't be able to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, bring about the descent of the Divine Tree, or revive Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
By taking World Number Four Sasuke back to the Main World, it would be impossible for Black Zetsu and Obito to cultivate a second pair of Rinnegan.
In that case, the World Number Four's destructive crisis could be considered resolved, and there was no need for backup plans such as capturing Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto to prevent Impure World Reincarnation, or joining forces with World Number Four Konoha Village.
Utakata performed hand seals to ensure the stable extraction and release of Chakra, opened the Net passage, and the others, carrying the unconscious World Number Four Sasuke, Nagato, and Konan, entered one after another.
Number One Hashirama on the other side curiously peered over.
"Release Sasuke!" World Number Four Naruto, who had just arrived not far away, shouted and charged over.
"Thump!" He flew back the same way he came.
"Be careful!"
World Number Four Kakashi held back his impulsive student, watching the shadows on the ground quickly return to the feet of the shorty in the middle, and said, "Just who exactly are you guys—"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Ke simultaneously activate the Boat Crossing Technique, disappearing into the vortex along with Utakata, who had severed the Net passage.
In the distance, on the treetop, Uchiha Obito, wearing an orange mask, silently watched everything that happened.
...
World Number Two, in the Laboratory.
"No problem." Number One Hashirama deactivated Sage Mode and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Hashirama."
Lin Ke said politely, then beckoned the others to leave.
There was no other way. Given the precedent of Senju Tobirama being targeted by Black Zetsu, to prevent any strange things from following them back, they had to have everyone checked before leaving the laboratory.
Otherwise, having multiple Black Zetsus causing trouble would be too much of a headache.
It took Number One Hashirama, who had obtained Yin-Yang Power, and End Naruto joining forces for over a month to capture the two Black Zetsus from World Number Two. Those things were too good at running away.
After leaving the laboratory, Sakura received a message from Net and hurriedly left after saying goodbye to Sasuke.
Karin also had a mission. After a tiring night, she yawned sleepily and bid farewell to everyone to catch the next Net channel back to the Main World.
Sasuke handed the World Number Four version of himself to Shadow and smiled, "Come visit Friend's House when you have time." Then he went back.
In the end, only Lin Ke and Utakata were left with the three unconscious people.
World Number Four Nagato's body was frighteningly weak, even worse than the Nagato in the Main World. After a simple treatment, he and Konan were handed over to Tsunade.
The situation with World Number Four Sasuke was more complicated.
Lin Ke first took him to Orochimaru in the Main World, asking the rascal snake to help extract the World Number Four version of himself. Then, he had Shadow carry him to the Ninja Alliance's interdimensional rescue office.
Due to the large number of refugees from World Number Three and the immense amount of time required to rebuild the wasteland, many homeless people from World Number Three were rescued to World Number Two. Registration, housing allocation, and subsidy collection were all handled at the newly established interdimensional rescue office.
There were quite a few people outside taking numbers and waiting in line. Most of the staff at the office were ninjas from the five major Naruto Villages in World Number Two.
With Lin Ke's status, cutting in line wouldn't have been a problem, but the awkward thing was that the people at the office didn't recognize him at all. If he went directly to report his name, he would feel strange.
In the end, he relied on the advantage of arriving before dawn and waited in line for half an hour. Just as it was about to be their turn, the leader of the Main World transmigrators in charge of management came to inspect and saw him.
Skipping the meaningless pleasantries, he learned about the rescue process.
They provided a Net rope, uploaded basic information through Net registration, and allocated housing and work based on the original occupation and nationality. If they were ninjas, they would be subject to a certain degree of supervision...
It was quite organized.
The existence of Net directly skipped many trivial procedures, turning it into online paperless office work, which greatly helped in the rescue efforts.
However, the downside was becoming apparent. The number of Net users was increasing, and the information it carried was becoming incredibly vast. Almost no one could search as extensively as they could at the beginning, and IDs were becoming longer and longer.
Even Lin Ke himself found it difficult to quickly retrieve all the information in the current vast Net architecture. In the future, it would definitely become more bloated, and many parts of Net might become blind spots.
For example, the gambling APP that the two Hashiramas and Tsunade were persistently developing. He estimated that it was set up somewhere again, but digging it out was not as easy as it was at the beginning.
Earth's internet relied on computers to process information, but Net was a real human brain, and active processing was far less efficient than a computer.
He heard that Orochimaru from the Main World and Orochimaru from World Number Two were gathering to study biological computers that could connect to Net.
Utakata suddenly glanced at World Number Four Sasuke, who was lying on Shadow.
Lin Ke immediately understood and said, "If you're awake, get up yourself." Shadow threw the prisoner down.
"Who exactly are you people?" World Number Four Sasuke opened his Sharingan, straightened up, and asked with a cold expression.
He had woken up when he was connected to Net, but he had been restrained and pretended to be dead until he heard the nonsense about other worlds, which made him unable to control his emotions.
Lin Ke used his administrator privileges to directly send him all the rescue regulations, and also sent a portion of the [Naruto Chronology] he had compiled, from Team 7's perspective all the way to the Valley of the End battle between Sasuke and Naruto.
He realized after sending it that his habit of ending on a cliffhanger had acted up again, but it didn't matter, since he didn't plan to tell a stranger Sasuke the entire history. He said, "Take a good look yourself. If you want to leave, no one will stop you."
An Uchiha with Three Tomoe, who had lost his Cursed Seal, was really not strong. No one would probably notice if he left.
Besides, before killing Itachi, Sasuke's mind was still quite normal, and he wouldn't kill people for no reason. He wasn't as crazy as he was at the Five Kage Summit, so theoretically, no conflict would even occur.
"By the way, this is the contact information and address of 'you' from the Main World. You can look for him if you need anything." Lin Ke thought for a moment, then sent the Net ID and address of the Main World Sasuke, before leaving with Utakata.
Leaving World Number Four Sasuke standing blankly on the streets of a strange world.
