UK:GSW Chapter 326 – Forgot the Beginning, Forgot the End, Anyway Let the Ninja World Burn
Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake wanting to play this game came as a surprise to Uchiha Kei, but thinking about it carefully, it made perfect sense.
These fully simulated worlds could give those who entered them experiences they could never gain in the real world:
Battlefield experience, the sensation of large-scale war, the clash of life and death — all could be felt vividly.
This was something a simple genjutsu game could never provide. After all, even if a genjutsu game felt realistic, the key word was still "game."
But these small modded worlds in the mental network world, created by Uchiha Kei, had their gameplay stripped out entirely — everything followed reality.
Under such conditions, a super battlefield like the Warhammer 40K world held an undeniable appeal to people like Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake.
In a battlefield this mad and brutal, even just surviving for a while would yield gains unmatched by anything in reality or in a genjutsu game.
With this thought, Uchiha Kei suddenly realized this unique mod world could be opened up to their small circle — mainly to those who wanted to improve their strength and better themselves.
Although Uchiha Kei had created various instances before, they were mainly for study and training purposes. This kind of dedicated combat-and-strengthening environment hadn't been developed yet, except for earlier experiments with revived figures like Tobirama Senju.
After a moment's thought, Uchiha Kei nodded and asked the two if they wanted the same "blessing" as Kakashi — after all, entering that world with only their native ninja abilities would obviously be inadequate.
Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake both shook their heads — not because they were unwilling, but because they wanted to try with their original strength first. They also had their own plans and didn't intend to fight on the front lines.
On a battlefield where both sides blasted away with weapons that could devastate dozens of kilometers at a time, their capabilities as ninja would be of limited use. It would be better to go deep behind enemy lines to sabotage and directly face Chaos forces there.
Uchiha Kei had no objection to this, but still gave them a buff. According to the setting, Chaos forces had powerful mental and spiritual corruption — a mortal looking directly at Chaos, especially at daemons, could have their soul twisted just by seeing them.
Without some protection, Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake would be dead the moment they faced Chaos, never mind doing sabotage work.
The two accepted the buff without protest, then entered the game world together, appearing behind Chaos lines and immediately launching attacks on various Chaos creatures.
Both fought at full strength: Sakumo Hatake unleashed his combined power of "Sekiro" and "White Fang," wielding the Mortal Blade in battle, while Minato Namikaze entered his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, using the fox's power to fuel his assault.
Their sudden arrival caused chaos among the local Chaos forces — but soon, they were surrounded.
All kinds of creatures charged at them fearlessly, the most ferocious being the red-skinned daemons serving Khorne — the most warlike and cruel of the four Chaos Gods. Khorne was also the god of courage and battle, delighting in combat and in fearless warriors, and his daemons shared this nature. They would fight without hesitation to please Khorne.
Soon, the ground beneath Minato and Sakumo was littered with daemon corpses. But they were gradually being overwhelmed.
From all directions, above and below, daemons appeared endlessly, attacking from all angles. Even at the pinnacle of the ninja world, the two soon faltered, eventually falling in battle one after the other.
Minato lasted 5 minutes 36 seconds; Sakumo lasted 4 minutes 27 seconds. But in terms of kill count, Sakumo had slain more.
Not because Sakumo was stronger — but in daemon-slaying, his sword-focused fighting style was more effective than Minato's mix of kunai and ninjutsu.
In Chaos territory, the gods' powers already permeated the area. Khorne's influence in particular greatly weakened large-scale and ranged attacks.
This Chaos God despised magic-like attacks and loved melee combat, so his influence weakened ranged power and area-of-effect destruction for everyone in range — friend or foe.
As a result, Minato's fighting style was heavily hindered. He was forced to rely on close combat, where his kill speed was lower than Sakumo's — especially since kunai, even oversized Flying Raijin kunai, were ineffective against daemons who could survive having their necks cut or their hearts pierced. The Mortal Blade, on the other hand, could cleanly cleave or decapitate them.
Thus, Minato lasted longer but killed fewer.
Neither was surprised. Before entering, Uchiha Kei had explained some Warhammer 40K lore — including how Chaos Gods blessed and warped reality in line with their preferences.
They didn't focus on the kill count, nor did they develop a competitive edge over it. Instead, they analyzed their performance, pinpointing shortcomings and how to improve.
Once their review was done, they jumped back into the world to fight again, determined to do better.
Seeing their fighting spirit, Uchiha Kei simply observed from the outside.
What? Why didn't he try it himself?
Well, maybe because as the creator of these worlds, Uchiha Kei had already played them plenty of times?
As a game creator, personally testing your own creation is a basic principle.
What? Some people make games they never play?
Uh, such people might not really be "game creators" — just project managers focused on monetization.
Uchiha Kei was nothing like that. In fact, he had personally spent over 500 hours in this Warhammer 40K mod, using his authority as owner of the mental network world and his powerful mental energy to accelerate time — one day outside became thirty inside.
So if he joined Minato and Sakumo now, he wouldn't claim to survive forever, but he'd certainly last much longer than either of them.
Before long, Minato and Sakumo died again.
This time, Minato lasted 7 minutes 20 seconds; Sakumo lasted 6 minutes 11 seconds. A modest improvement in seconds, but a significant percentage increase — and their kill counts were also higher.
They repeated the same process: post-battle review, re-entry, more fighting.
They kept honing their skills and gaining experience fighting various creatures.
It was clear they were taking monster combat seriously — as if these creatures existed not only in the game but in reality as well.
When they finally paused to rest, Minato suddenly asked, "Kei… do you think these monsters, these things representing Chaos, are really just part of a game?"
Uchiha Kei looked at him — Minato's expression was serious, and Sakumo was also watching intently.
Realizing what they were thinking, Uchiha Kei said after a moment, "I don't know. Maybe in another world, these monsters really do exist. But at least, in the ninja world, nothing like this exists — only other strange creatures."
He didn't give a definitive answer. To him, arriving in the ninja world was already impossible by normal standards — a fantastical twist of fate. Under those circumstances, he couldn't deny the possibility of the Warhammer 40K universe existing.
Perhaps somewhere out there, such a hellhole world really did exist.
For Minato and Sakumo, his words were enough to make them thoughtful — and oddly pressured.
Yes, the worry might be overthinking, but given that Uchiha Kei could "summon things from other worlds" via strange summoning techniques, the existence of alien worlds — even parallel worlds — had already been proven. Another, even stranger universe wasn't impossible.
Once you have examples, the mind inevitably connects the dots.
Uchiha Kei didn't elaborate. The ninja world was its own kind of hellhole — even if Konoha was currently thriving with potential to unite the ninja world, potential was still only potential. It hadn't happened yet.
And even if it did — the Ōtsutsuki clan still existed.
In the main world, there was no sign of the Ōtsutsuki — it felt like the pure Masashi Kishimoto Naruto setting, without the Ikemoto Boruto elements. But in parallel worlds, that wasn't guaranteed.
And the Ōtsutsuki had time-space travel abilities — if they came to the ninja world, no one knew if closing the parallel-world portals would keep the main world safe.
Uchiha Kei never counted on enemies being "too stupid" to act.
Thus, he thought Minato and Sakumo building real experience against monsters now was the right move — even excellent.
When the time came, last-minute training would never beat preparation.
Then, Uchiha Kei shifted topics: "Speaking of which, Kakashi's survival mode in that world has gone on long enough. He's grown numb and despairing. I think it's time to give him some… new stimulation."
Both Minato and Sakumo agreed — while they wanted Kakashi to keep training in the Warhammer world, they didn't want him trapped in despair forever. Some stimulation would be good.
They asked how.
Uchiha Kei smiled and gave them his idea — leaving them both with complicated expressions, looking at him like he was some kind of monster. Minato asked hesitantly, "Uh… Kei, isn't this a little too much?"
Uchiha Kei just asked, "Enough talk — are you in or not?"
They exchanged a glance and nodded.
After all, this was just an illusion world — even if they did something cruel, it didn't matter. Once Kakashi learned the truth, he'd adjust.
He was thirty-one — no child. Even if it gave him psychological scars, they believed he'd recover.
Yes… "we believe in you." In the Naruto world, that was the trust of one's seniors.
Soon after, in the game world, Kakashi received a new mission from high-ranking Imperial officers: there was a Chaos-created corruption source to the northeast. It had to be destroyed — otherwise, Chaos would unleash a massive wave of corruption, breaking the lines again.
As a Living Saint, Kakashi was to join an elite Astartes strike force to destroy it. By now, after so much fighting, death, and revival, his identity was recognized and respected by the Imperium — and on such a battlefield, it was natural for a Living Saint to lead from the front.
Kakashi accepted without hesitation, departing with a hundred elite Astartes.
After a series of raids and battles, they reached the corruption source with sixty Astartes left — a twisted Chaos spire.
Then the enemy arrived — absolute elites, led by two figures whose combat power far surpassed the rest, cutting down Astartes with ease.
Kakashi charged to meet them — such enemies were his responsibility.
But when he saw the two, his eyes widened, his voice shook, his grip loosened on his weapon. His face showed total denial.
"This… this isn't possible!"
"Why? Why is this happening?"
"No… it shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't!"
"Why? Why are you on their side? Why have you become servants of Chaos?"
"Answer me!!! Father!!! Sensei!!!"
Before him stood Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake — expressionless, their bodies twisted with Chaos corruption, their forms clad in an iridescent black like the favor of all four Chaos Gods.
They were covered in black growths, twisted bone spines, black daemon wings, black sclera with red irises, and over three meters tall — completely warped into Chaos monstrosities.
Their colors — green, red, purple, and blue — intertwined into iridescent black, proof of all four Chaos Gods' blessings, making them supreme beings of Chaos.
Such a combination, in Warhammer 40K canon, was top-tier — at least Abaddon-level, possibly rivaling Horus himself.
Kakashi knew none of that. Believing this world was real, he broke down at the sight of his teacher and father transformed into Chaos champions.
Minato and Sakumo only stared coldly — though in truth, behind the disguise, they felt awkward and guilty. But this was Uchiha Kei's idea, the stage was set, and they had to play the part.
Minato spoke first, his "packaged" voice deep and raspy, dripping with villainous weight:
"Kakashi, the survival of civilization must come with pain. Clinging to the old rules cannot save the decaying ninja world. The ninja world has one chance to endure — if you can't seize it, then let the war begin!"
"From Konoha's skies to the borders of the Land of Wind — let the ninja world boil, let the stars fall. Even if it costs our last drop of blood, we will see the ninja world liberated again."
"If we cannot save it from failure, Kakashi… then let the ninja world burn!"
