Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Although Minato Namikaze was known as the Little Sun, that didn't mean he was some kindhearted pacifist.

In fact, the Shinobi World didn't really produce many soft-hearted people at all.

Takumi: [@Zhongli, I'll return once I finish my task. You handle the conversation with him for now.]

Knowing someone was about to have a very bad day, Takumi didn't say much. After sending that message in the group chat, he got back to work.

Zhongli quietly waited, giving Minato time to finish reading the data.

It wasn't an anime—it was documentation, after all.

As Minato read through the files in his hand, his expression darkened.

The more he read, the worse it became.

His son, after being born, would face so many horrifying challenges.

The enemies of the future left him utterly stunned.

"Is this all real?" Minato asked, still in disbelief as he looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded. "I don't lie. Everything you've read is the truth."

Zhongli was, after all, an honest man.

Minato stared at him, searching for any hint of deception—but Zhongli's expression didn't waver.

He truly had nothing to hide.

Minato eventually composed himself and spoke again:

"The energy inside my body is changing. Is this because of this world?"

He had finally noticed something strange within himself.

Zhongli nodded again. "It's because of this world. Anyone who comes here will experience a change in their internal energy. This is called Honkai Energy. Once your transformation completes, your strength will increase substantially."

"In your case, I estimate at least a 50% boost in power—and without having to overdraw from your cells."

As Zhongli explained, he glanced at Minato with mild exasperation.

Chakra? That stuff was all about squeezing your own life force for energy. No wonder ninjas had such short lifespans.

Relying on burning your own vitality in battle was simply not sustainable.

Worse still, chakra had to be extracted during combat.

But if it were replaced by Honkai Energy?

Minato's combat ability would skyrocket.

After all, the two energy systems weren't even on the same level.

"So it really has benefits like this?" Minato was dumbfounded.

He could already feel how much more powerful he'd become. The transformation had already started. Once it finished—how powerful would he be?

"If you want to speed it up, just expend all your remaining chakra," Zhongli said. "Then let your body replenish itself. Or better yet—you have Sage Mode, don't you? Use that."

Zhongli offered a suggestion.

Sage Mode could serve as a perfect transition method.

This world didn't have natural energy—but it was full of Honkai Energy.

Activating Sage Mode would allow Minato to absorb it directly.

Minato paused for a moment, then formed a hand seal.

He closed his eyes.

In his perception, the surroundings were saturated with Honkai Energy.

The moment he activated Sage Mode, that energy surged toward him as if it had found an outlet.

In mere moments, all of his chakra had vanished—completely replaced by Honkai Energy.

He could hardly believe the power now coursing through him.

It was overwhelming.

Incredible.

His power had increased tremendously.

Even better, if he exhausted it, his Honkai Energy would regenerate.

Why? Because Honkai Energy could assimilate surrounding energy into more Honkai Energy.

Even if he returned to his own world, the natural energy in the air would be converted.

And if he activated Sage Mode again, the energy cost would be negligible.

Realizing this, Minato was overjoyed.

He never expected such a bonus.

It was amazing.

"It looks like you've stabilized your transformation," Zhongli said.

"At this point, even if you return, there shouldn't be any problem."

With Minato's current strength, no one in his world would be able to threaten him.

"It really is incredible," Minato said. "I feel unbelievably strong."

He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He was even thinking about bringing Kushina over.

If there were such benefits, he couldn't leave his wife behind.

Now that he had power, his anxiety had lessened.

All he had to do now was wait for Takumi to return.

Zhongli didn't linger. Instead, he led Minato on a tour of the world.

Takumi would never let the Naruto world go.

In fact, he might even bring over the Hokage himself.

And if not, he'd certainly import the entire Uchiha clan.

The two of them wandered around Takumi's world for a while.

Around noon, Takumi finally returned.

He had finished transporting the world where spiritual energy was awakening.

After arranging the new world, Takumi immediately sought out Zhongli and Minato.

His sudden appearance startled Minato—especially the sheer amount of Honkai Energy radiating from him.

It was terrifying.

Minato had never encountered such a powerful being before.

That endless Honkai Energy could probably frighten thousands just by standing still.

"Hello there~" Takumi greeted with a smile.

Minato was momentarily speechless.

Zhongli stepped in. "This is the master of this world—his name is Takumi."

Upon hearing that, Minato immediately bowed.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Takumi!"

He was extremely respectful.

"No need to be so formal," Takumi replied. "So you've finished reviewing your information?"

Minato nodded. "Yes, I've read everything."

"In that case, things will be easier now. What do you think about me bringing your world here?"

"Once it arrives, peace and development will be possible."

The Naruto world had always been plagued by war—mostly because of limited resources.

With Konoha occupying the most fertile territory, neighboring nations were always eyeing it with greed.

But here in Takumi's world, resources were abundant.

That was no longer a concern.
