<<<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.

Dak had an idea but knew he couldn't act on it immediately. These two little ones, especially Hinata, wouldn't trust him enough to follow him to another world.
There was another factor too.
Dak shifted his gaze to the blonde boy.
Although Naruto appeared lively and bold, Dak's psychic perception revealed a complex inner world filled with worry, fear, and other emotions.
He worried that Dak might see him as a monster like the others or that Dak might harm him and Hinata.
"Hmmm... what time is it now?" Dak looked up at the sky instead of answering the blonde boy's question.
Snowflakes fell steadily from the gray sky, making it hard to judge the time. Since the two children were out, it couldn't be too late, probably the afternoon.
"Around four o'clock," Naruto guessed, glancing at Hinata, who kept her head down. He remembered seeing a clock in a shop window earlier.
"How about we go eat?" Dak suggested, deciding to try the local cuisine in Konoha.
Ichiraku Ramen and the Akimichi Clan's barbecue were famous throughout the ninja world. If they were as delicious as rumored, Dak might consider convincing the chefs to move to Alliance City.
"I... I don't have money," Naruto said.
"I need to go home," Hinata added.
Naruto wanted to go. He was hungry and rarely had company for meals. The prospect of someone treating him made him happy.
Hinata, on the other hand, still felt wary of Dak.
Dak found it puzzling. He had helped Hinata earlier and didn't think he looked threatening. Was it because she had seen him talking to Darkrai?
"I'll treat you. You're young and should enjoy life. What's the rush to go home? Come on, your guardians have been taken care of by my friend," Dak said, glancing at his shadow.
He had decided to change the futures of these two children, making their lives more vibrant. Not for any grand reason, just because it seemed fun.
As the leader of the Pokémon Alliance and the creator god of Pokémon Island, he felt entitled to do things he enjoyed.
"Yay! You're a good guy, big brother!" Naruto cheered. "Sorry I thought you were a bad guy earlier."
"Huh?" Hinata was still processing Dak's words.
Suddenly, she found herself being picked up by Dak, who also scooped up Naruto.
She knew Naruto's name. They were classmates, and his reputation—though not great—was known to her. But until now, she had never spoken to him or even exchanged glances.
This was supposed to be the moment Naruto's heroic act won her heart, but Dak had disrupted that timeline.
Now, who knew what the future held for them?
"Let's go," Dak said, carrying the two kids toward the bustling part of the village.
With his Observation Haki and psychic abilities, he could sense the entire village. Four people had been put to sleep by Darkrai—two Anbu watching Naruto and two branch members of the Hyuga clan guarding Hinata.
"Dak..." Darkrai's voice echoed faintly in Dak's mind.
"I am not kidnapping them, just taking them for a meal and then returning them," Dak clarified mentally.
Naruto was ecstatic, unconcerned about being carried, while Hinata was tense, occasionally glancing up at Dak's chin, looking on the verge of tears.
Dak swiftly reached Konoha's main street. Despite the gray, snowy weather, the village was lively with many people around.
"Isn't that..."
"Shh! The Hokage said not to talk about it!"
"Who's that man? He doesn't look like he's from here."
"And isn't that the Hyuga princess?"
Dak's keen senses picked up the villagers' whispers. He glanced at Naruto, who continued cheerfully pointing out shops, hiding his inner turmoil.
Dak understood why some psychic Pokémon chose to isolate themselves. Hearing others' thoughts all the time wasn't always a blessing.
Dak could clearly sense Naruto's embarrassment, frustration, and sadness. As an Uzumaki, even without psychic abilities, Naruto's heightened senses made him keenly aware of his surroundings and the emotions directed at him.
It was no wonder some psychic trainers developed unusual behaviors. If his psychic abilities had developed naturally, Dak might have ended up with some odd traits too.
Understanding Naruto's inner world made Dak feel a strange sense of discomfort. Knowing what the boy would become in the future only added to it.
For now, Dak didn't plan to remove Naruto's Asura chakra. The boy needed it to cope with his overwhelming negative emotions, something an eight-year-old couldn't handle alone.
Hinata, sensing the atmosphere, clung to Dak's shirt and shrank back, finding more comfort with him than the hostile villagers.
"How revolting," Dak muttered, his interest in exploring Konoha's cuisine waning.
He had thought he could remain indifferent, having anticipated this reaction, but the reality was worse than expected.
Anime had omitted many unpleasant details and dialogues, and now he was seeing them firsthand.
"Sorry, big brother," Naruto apologized, mistaking Dak's disgust for anger at him.
"It's not you," Dak reassured, looking at Naruto thoughtfully.
What if he sent Naruto to live with Whitebeard? What would the Whitebeard Pirates do to Konoha if they knew how Naruto had been treated?
Shaking off the thought, Dak knew Whitebeard would definitely retaliate.
"Hey, you're not from our village. Put the kids down," an Anbu member demanded.
Four Anbu surrounded Dak, with more ninjas converging on the area.
Understandable, given who he was holding—the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Hyuga clan princess, not just Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.
If he were holding Rock Lee and Sakura Haruno, the Anbu likely wouldn't have cared.
"Why is that kid still in the village?"
"That green-haired man is definitely an outsider. I've never seen him before."
"Is that kid causing trouble again?"
Hiruzen had forbidden discussing Naruto's status, but many had still shared the secret, leading to widespread ostracism.
Danzo had a hand in it, aiming to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki completely. Hiruzen only prevented Danzo from directly harming Naruto.
"Big brother?" Naruto turned to Dak, feeling his grip tighten. "Big brother isn't a bad person. He helped Hinata. I saw it."
"Mm." Hinata, usually shy, nodded in agreement, her face flushing. Although Dak seemed odd, he had indeed helped her.
