Chapter 7 - Newcomers

Zhang Jingqing led Gojo and Zhang Zhiwei toward the Lu family in Jiangnan. Along the way, they crossed great rivers, climbed towering mountains, and traversed open plains.

Throughout the journey, they encountered numerous bandits, witnessed many impoverished families, and even clashed with cultivators, spirits, and malevolent entities.

Although Gojo was still inexperienced, Zhang Jingqing's knowledge of the jianghu was vast. With him watching over things, even when Gojo made mistakes, nothing serious ever happened.

That night, after finishing his usual watch, Gojo switched shifts with Zhang Zhiwei and quickly fell asleep the moment he lay down.

As the fatigue faded, Gojo opened his eyes.

The mist-filled darkness before him instantly told him where he was.

The Naruto-world Gojo, seated by the campfire, looked at him and said softly,

"You're here too."

"Mm."

The Under One Person Gojo nodded.

"Does this mean… there's a newcomer?"

"Probably. After all, that's how you showed up last time."

As the martial arts world Gojo finished speaking, three figures gradually appeared within the mist ahead.

"Didn't expect three to show up at once!"

The Naruto-world Gojo's face lit up with excitement.

As the figures drew closer, they could clearly make out their appearances.

The one on the left was enormous—nearly three meters tall—the largest among all the Gojos present.

The one in the middle had a slender build. Though dressed in an ordinary kimono, he carried an unmistakably refined aura.

As for the one on the right—

The moment he appeared, he completely stunned everyone.

"Holy—!"

"Holy—!"

"Holy—!"

The three existing Gojos exclaimed in unison.

That's right—

The Gojo on the right was… a Squirtle.

And not just any Squirtle, but one wearing sunglasses—the kind from the Squirtle Squad.

Hearing their shocked reactions, Squirtle Gojo took off his sunglasses, wiped them casually against his shell, then put them back on and spoke in an imposing tone,

"Squirtle? Squirtle!"

Although he only spoke in "Squirtle," everyone present understood him perfectly.

What he meant was:

"Yeah? Call me boss."

"This guy…"

The Naruto-world Gojo shook his head, stepped forward, and smacked Squirtle Gojo right on the head.

At the same time, the Under One Person and martial arts world Gojos stepped forward as well, reaching out to make contact with the newcomers.

In an instant—

Memories merged. Cells rejoiced.

All of them could clearly feel themselves becoming more complete.

From the newly merged memories:

The towering Gojo on the left came from the world of One Piece. He had transmigrated into the open sea and nearly starved to death, only to be saved by the Revolutionary Army. After securing his survival, he joined them.

The slender one in the middle came from the world of Bleach. Born in the Rukongai, he was now a student at the Shin'ō Academy in the Seireitei.

"Damn…"

"I thought it would take a long time to gather the big three."

After processing their memories, the Under One Person Gojo spoke.

"Didn't expect we'd complete it this quickly."

The Naruto-world Gojo nodded.

"Same here."

At that moment, the Bleach-world Gojo looked around, sensing the changes within himself.

"So now we all have six times the talent? And our cultivation speed is six times faster than normal?"

"Exactly. Back when it was three times, I already managed to master the Golden Light Incantation."

"With six times the talent, I should be able to fully control the Yang Five Thunder."

The Under One Person Gojo shared his situation.

"Speaking of the Golden Light Incantation, I tried it after going back last time—and I found I can use it in my world too."

The martial arts world Gojo spoke up.

"I just replaced qi with internal energy to run it."

"The defense isn't as strong as in your world, but it can still block some attacks."

"If my Golden Light Incantation works in your world, then the techniques from your Huashan Sect should work in mine too, right?"

The Under One Person Gojo's eyes lit up.

He'd been traveling with his master recently, focusing entirely on the Golden Light Incantation and Thunder Method, without the time to experiment with Huashan techniques.

But now, it seemed entirely possible.

Even if they weren't as strong as his current methods, they could still serve as useful backup techniques.

"By the way, has your storyline started yet?"

The Under One Person Gojo asked the martial arts version.

"And can you learn the Violet Haze Divine Skill?"

"The story? It's probably about to start. I've heard rumors that the Qingcheng Sect is going to make a move on the Fuwei Escort Agency."

"As for the Violet Haze Divine Skill… that depends on when Master decides to pass it on to me."

The martial arts world Gojo explained briefly.

Previously, due to his mediocre talent, Yue Buqun didn't consider him the best successor, favoring Linghu Chong instead.

After all, despite his unruly personality and love of wine, Linghu Chong's talent and strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.

But recently, thanks to talent stacking, Gojo's internal energy and swordsmanship had been improving at an astonishing rate.

With sixfold talent now—

He felt that Yue Buqun would soon pass the Violet Haze Divine Skill to him.

Once he mastered it and refined his swordsmanship, revitalizing the Huashan Sect would be within reach.

"By the way—since the Golden Light Incantation enhances life force, can we use it to strengthen ourselves too?"

At that moment, the Revolutionary Army Gojo asked.

"It should work. Since he can use it, you probably can too—though the effect likely won't be as strong as in my world."

The Under One Person Gojo replied, pointing at the martial arts version.

"But your world doesn't have internal energy or qi—only Haki. So using the Golden Light Incantation there might be more difficult."

He voiced his concern.

"No problem. My world has plenty of body-refining techniques. Even without internal energy, they can still be trained."

The martial arts Gojo smiled.

"When I go back this time, I'll find you some suitable techniques."

"Thanks!"

The Revolutionary Army Gojo immediately replied.

But before he could say more, the martial arts version interrupted him.

"We're all the same person—helping each other is only natural. Why be so polite?"

Hearing this, all the Gojos nodded firmly.

Across the countless worlds, scattered like stars—

They were the same person.

The only one they could trust unconditionally… was themselves.

And the only one they could give everything for… was also themselves.
