Upon receiving the summons, Hu Tao agreed immediately.
Once everyone had gathered, they launched a grand march toward the Naruto world.
At this time, everyone in Konoha already knew about the otherworldly visitors. Even other villages had learned about it. While many were shocked, excitement was the dominant emotion.
It was a huge event.
Another world?
Upon hearing the news, the other Kage even considered attacking Konoha. But they quickly sobered up. Most were already aware of what was going on there, and that some extremely powerful individuals were present.
Konoha was full of spies. The news of Danzo being instantly eliminated had already leaked. And the overwhelming power of the otherworld was obvious.
Facing an unknown enemy like that, they dared not act rashly.
Fortunately, Minato Namikaze knew how to handle things.
He told them, if they wanted to visit the otherworld, just come through the proper channels.
However, they had to follow Konoha's rules. Taxes and such still applied.
With his terminal device, Minato had solid solutions for all issues. Prometheus helped manage everything.
Thanks to the device, Minato found his work far easier. Having a terminal was like having a super assistant.
In less than half a day, Minato already appreciated its full value.
When Shiki and her group arrived, they drew some attention. But people quickly lost interest.
After all, many visitors were showing up these days. A group of newcomers wasn't that strange anymore.
No need to make a big fuss.
Shiki and her party entered the Naruto world and didn't waste any timethey headed straight for the Pure Land.
As soon as they entered, they sensed the location of the Pure Land.
For them, getting there was child's play.
As they disappeared, the nearby shinobi were confused.
Weren't they here to do business?
Were they just sightseeing?
Everyone was baffled, but no one explained anything.
Now in the Pure Land, Shiki and her companions immediately encountered that sneaky Sage of Six Paths.
Upon seeing him, Shiki didn't hesitate and launched her attackspecifically using techniques that countered spirits.
When the Sage saw this assault, his expression turned pale.
He was well aware of the world's recent changes. The existence of other worlds deeply shocked him.
Originally, he had wanted to chat and gather some information.
Seeing Shiki and the others, he was pleasantly surprised, thinking it was a great chance to talk.
He never expected them to attack immediatelyusing ghost-banishing techniques, no less.
Besides Shiki, Akeno also attacked, utilizing her Fallen Angel powers.
Even though she was a Fallen Angel, she could still counter spirits.
Under siege from all directions, the Sage desperately summoned the previous Kage.
But it was futile.
Soon, Kaguya arrived with Otsutsuki Kaguya in tow.
Seeing the Sage, the latter was furious.
And the Sage himself was terrified when he saw his mother.
Why was she here?!
Either way, the Sage was in big trouble.
Surrounded by multiple people using anti-spirit techniques, countless powerful souls were purified.
Now that this world was connected to Takumi's, it fell under Shiki's jurisdiction.
Thus, purifying these spirits meant sending them off to reincarnate.
What race they'd be reborn as, no one could say.
But unless they were extremely strong, there was no escape.
Chapter 534: Lord Madara, Youre Really Pitiful
Total chaos unfolded.
Shiki Eiki and the others had stormed the Pure Land, caring little for the Sage of Six Paths or whoever else was there. Anyone they could purify, they did. Even Yuyuko nearly fell victim to the chaos. Waves of indiscriminate purification attacks swept across the Pure Land.
Countless souls from the Naruto world who had died over the years were reincarnated. Only the exceptionally strong remained intact.
After the dust settled, even the Sage of Six Paths was captured.
"Hmph! Do you know you're violating laws here?"
Hu Tao looked proudly at the group of subdued souls. She was positively thrilled. It had been a satisfying day of battle.
"Lord Madara, what happened to you? Why do you look so battered? Can spirits even get bruised?"
Kaguya grinned as she gazed at Uchiha Madara. He hadn't been purified, but he was badly beatenbruised and bloodied. It seemed to be Yuyuko's handiwork. Ghost against ghostit was only natural there'd be bruising.
Seeing Madara's sorry state, Kaguya was beaming. Without caring about his embarrassed expression, she opened the group chat and furiously uploaded photos.

Nyaruko: [Uchiha Madara? Damn, that's tragic!! What happened to you, Lord Madara?!]
Chika Fujiwara: [Lord Madara's all swollen!]
Sagiri: [LMAO, who did that?!]
Everyone in the group chat erupted in laughter. Madara's pitiful state was just too much. Who in the world had beat him up that badly?
Takumi: [You people really know how to have fun. Judging from the background, it looks like you've caused quite the mess in the Pure Land.]
Takumi glanced at the group chat. Those guys were clearly enjoying themselves. He hadn't expected Hu Tao to be part of it too. He chuckled, realizing just how miserable those Pure Land souls must've been.
Faces were being metaphorically dragged across the floor.
But now that it was over, it was time for Shiki to have a serious talk.
Takumi didn't bother keeping up with the aftermath. After closing the group chat, he moved on.
He remembered Tsukuyomi and had Prometheus send her a message to inform her that her world had been transferred.
Once that was handled, Takumi vanished from where he stood. It was time to begin moving the Type-Moon world.
He headed to the school to find Sakura and Illya. Everyone from the Type-Moon world was going to be brought back with him. After all, a convergence of worldlines was coming, and it would be best if everyone went back together.
Takumi would use one world as the main anchor and converge all others into it, letting the parallel versions of these girls transfer their powers to Sakura, Illya, and the others.
Arriving at the school, Takumi quickly spotted them on the playground. Not just Sakura, but even Klee and the others were there too. Had they all been dumped here?
Seeing Klee and the others surprised him.
As Takumi approached, Klee was the first to notice him.
"Takumi-oniichan!!"
Seeing him, Klee burst into excitement and ran toward him.
Hearing her voice, the others who knew Takumi turned and also lit up with joy, running his way.
Looking at the swarm of lolis, Takumi's smile widened. As expected, seeing adorable girls lifted the spirit.
Klee was the first to reach him, launching herself into his arms.
"Takumi-oniichan, did you come to see Klee?"
She looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Takumi smirked.
"Nope, not here to see Klee."
Klee's bright smile froze. Her expression crumbled, her little mouth turning downward like she could hang a soy sauce bottle from it.
"Takumi-oniichan, you're mean!!"
He wasn't here for her? That was just too disappointing.
Takumi chuckled.
"Just kidding! I came to see you, Klee!"
"By the way, why are you here? Weren't you learning magic with One-Eyed Princess?"
Takumi lied effortlessly.
Klee, however, wasn't so easily fooled. She pouted even more.
"Takumi-oniichan, Klee's not a dummy. You don't have to comfort me. I'm here because there's nothing more to learn back there, so my teacher sent me here."
Klee explained her situation.
Takumi sighed.
"Nonsense. She's just slacking off. There's no way she finished everything."
That teacher must've just gotten lazy and dumped Klee here. As if Takumi wouldn't notice.
Klee blinked. Was that really the reason? She didn't know.
Takumi ruffled her hair and turned his attention to Sakura, Illya, Rin, and the others now standing before him.
"Sakura, Illya, Rinnext, we're heading to your world. So skip afternoon classes. I'm taking you all back. You'll probably get a lot stronger after this trip."
He quickly explained everything.
The girls' eyes lit up.
They were finally going to transfer their world over. It was exciting.
Klee, meanwhile, was visibly more upset. Takumi really hadn't come for her. That dummy Takumi-oniichan even tried to lie to her!
She wasn't falling for it.
Yaoyao noticed the pouty Klee and smiled wryly. She had overheard their whole conversation.
"Don't be mad, Klee. Takumi-oniichan didn't know we were here at first."
Klee nodded. That was true.
"In that case, I forgive Takumi-oniichan," she whispered to Yaoyao.
Yaoyao chuckled softly.
Of course, Takumi had heard their little chat.
Children were truly easy to comfort. He didn't even need to say anything, and they forgave him.
After explaining the situation to the girls, Takumi turned to Klee.
"Klee, I've got something important to do now. I'll be taking them with me. Once I'm done, I'll come back for you guys."
He had to take the girls away for now.
Or maybe he should bring them all along?
Chapter 535: Illya Cant Possibly Grow Up
Klee felt a bit disappointed when she heard Takumi say that. But soon, her eyes lit up.
"Takumi-oniichan, can Klee come along too?"
They were going to Sakura's world, and Klee was really curious. So she wanted to go too.
Hearing that, Takumi looked a little surprised. "You want to come too?"
Well, it wasn't like he couldn't take her. Might as well bring all the girls along.
"Yes! I want to see where Sakura was born."
Klee looked at Takumi with hopeful eyes. She and Sakura had a good relationship. Since Takumi was heading to Sakura's home, Klee wanted to visit it too.
Seeing the eager look on her face, Takumi thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, you can come. But there's something you should know. This time when we go back, Sakura and Rin might turn into big sisters."
As he said this, a small smile appeared on his lips.
With the convergence of worldlines, Sakura and Rin were bound to grow up instantly. They'd even gain the powers of their parallel selves.
So, he needed to explain this in advance.
After this trip, the current Sakura might disappear. Klee might even have to start calling her "big sister."
Hearing that, all the girls wore puzzled expressions.
"Is that even possible?" Klee was shocked. But then her eyes lit up again.
"Then can Klee grow up too? Klee wants to be like Mommy."
She also wanted to grow up!
"Nope!" Takumi replied without hesitation.
"Sakura and Rin will grow up because of the worldline convergence. But you're not from that world, Klee. However, you don't have to worryIllya will still stay the same."
While Rin and Sakura would grow up, Illya wouldn't. There was no helping itshe would only become a legal loli.
Klee blinked. "Is that so?" It was a little disappointing, but it was nice that Illya would stay the same.
Illya, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked confused.
"What do you mean? I won't grow up like Mom?"
Her eyes widened.
She had just heard that Rin and Sakura would grow upbut she wouldn't?
Shocked!!
"I don't want that!!"
Illya started panicking.
"That's right. You won't. Your body will stay like this forever. Even though Mobius helped you stabilize your body, you're still not going to grow. It's the same for all versions of Illya in the other worlds. At most, you might get a tiny bit taller."
Takumi said all this with a very pleased smile.
Illya was dumbfounded. She cried out, "Noooo!!!"
She didn't want that!
The thought of staying in her current body forever made her whole world crumble.
She didn't want this!! She couldn't accept it, no matter how hard she tried.
Her dreams were shattered!
She thought she'd one day become a stunning silver-haired beauty like her mom. But now Takumi was telling her she'd never grow up?
She'd always look like this?
orz
Illya felt like her world had turned gray.
"What should I doooo!!"
Everyone was at a loss on how to comfort her.
"It's okay... Qiqi can't grow up either."
Qiqi, too, would never grow.
"Yeah, yeah! Me too!" Klee added quickly. "It's really hard for me to grow up! Don't cry!"
With both of them trying to comfort her, Illya only felt more upset.
This wasn't a good thing, okay?
"Waaaah!!"
Illya didn't even know what to say anymore.
"Alright, stop crying. Time to go back."
Takumi looked at her helplessly.
He urged them to get ready.
Illya, though a little down, stood up without further complaint.
Soon, Takumi took the girls and headed toward Illya's home.
He once again met with Irisviel and Tohsaka Aoi and explained his purpose.
When they heard Takumi was taking them back, both their eyes lit up.
"Really? That's great!!"
They didn't have any objections. Honestly, they never thought they'd be able to return.
It was amazing.
Takumi brought everyone along and placed them all inside the dimensional bracelet. Then he entered it himself.
Sakura, looking at the bracelet, immediately picked it up and selected the return option.
...
Meanwhile, in the Type-Moon worldSakura's original world
Due to Takumi's earlier interference, the Holy Grail War had never occurred.
And because of his presence, many magi had gathered here.
Over a year had passed, yet Fuyuki City was still filled with magi.
Their goal, of course, was the Root.
But despite all the time they had spent here, they hadn't gained a single thing.
Now that Sakura had returned, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere in the city had changed.
Still, she wasn't worried.
She had learned a lot from Takumi-oniichan.
Especially regarding imaginary numbers. She was now incredibly skilled at manipulating them.
She had even created her own imaginary number space.
Not only that, she could hide her body within it.
If Sakura wanted, there were very few people in all of Fuyuki who could detect her.
Her return naturally drew the attention of Alaya and Gaia.
Seeing her return made them both confused.
Hadn't she gone to another world?
Why was she back now?
Before they could process it, Sakura found a park and released her sister, Illya, and the others.
That included Klee and the rest.
Seeing these outsiders, Alaya and Gaia were stunned.
People from another world?
