Chapter 1: A New Battlefield

The war was over. The Fourth Great Ninja War had ended with Naruto Uzumaki and his allies emerging victorious. Peace had finally come to the Shinobi World. Yet, as Naruto and Hinata stood atop the Hokage Monument, gazing at the village bathed in golden sunset, a lingering sense of unease settled in his chest.

"Naruto-kun," Hinata said softly, standing beside him. "You feel it too, don’t you?"

He exhaled. "Yeah… like something’s not done yet."

Before either could ponder further, space itself twisted around them. A blinding light enveloped their bodies, and the world shattered.

Naruto and Hinata crashed into the unfamiliar streets of a towering metropolis. Skyscrapers lined the horizon, but chaos reigned. Alien creatures with grotesque armor flew through the sky, firing at helpless civilians. Explosions rocked the city.

“What the hell—?!” Naruto barely had time to react before a monstrous roar filled the air.

A massive, dragon-like creature, its metallic hide gleaming under the sunlight, charged toward them. The monstrous Leviathan bore down on Hinata first.

Her Byakugan activated instantly, scanning the creature’s structure. "Naruto! Its weak point—"

She didn't need to finish. Naruto was already moving.

Sage Mode flared around him, golden pigmentation forming near his eyes. He clenched his fist, feeling the raw power surging within him. Then, just as the beast lunged, Naruto leaped forward—his punch meeting the creature’s skull with the force of a meteor.

BOOM!

The Leviathan’s entire head caved in. Its massive body convulsed before crashing into the side of a skyscraper. Dust and debris clouded the street.

Up in the air, Iron Man—having just dodged a barrage of Chitauri blasts—stared at the scene through his HUD.

"J.A.R.V.I.S.," Tony muttered. "Did a blond teenager just one-punch a space dragon?"

"It would appear so, sir."

Tony didn’t get a chance to process before another urgent matter demanded his attention. The nuke.

As the nuclear missile soared toward the wormhole, Tony pushed his thrusters to the max, guiding the payload toward the portal. He barely made it through before the explosion consumed the Chitauri fleet. But now, with his suit out of power, he tumbled back toward Earth.

He fell, plummeting fast.

Thor prepared to summon Mjolnir, but before he could act, a golden blur shot past him.

Naruto.

In an instant, Naruto caught Tony midair. His chakra flared beneath his feet, slowing their descent. The wind roared past them as they landed smoothly on the street.

Tony groaned, blinking his helmet open. "Either I’m dead, or I just got saved by an anime protagonist."

Naruto grinned. "No idea what that means, but you’re welcome."

Thor landed nearby, Mjolnir in hand, watching the newcomers with a mix of awe and suspicion. "Who are you?"

Naruto glanced at Hinata, who landed gracefully beside him, scanning their surroundings with her Byakugan. He scratched the back of his head.

"Good question."
