Well done guys.
=====================
Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
Under the howling wind and sand, the village's unique domed earthen buildings were everywhere. Whether villagers or ninjas, most people on the streets wore white scarves to shield themselves from the sand.
At this moment, wind and sand howled outside the glass.
Inside the room, there were two Temaris.
"The Five Kage Summit is about to begin. I didn't expect the Kazekage in this world to be Gaara."
The two Temaris looked the same—impossible to tell apart.
Infiltration from another world had already begun.
Temari from this world nodded, eyes narrowed:
"Yeah. At first, I thought it was fake. If I hadn't visited your world for three months, I wouldn't have believed it.
In your world, Gaara is even Sasuke's comrade, and the Fifth Kazekage is Lady Pakura, with you, Temari, as the future Sixth!"
"What's the difference between Temari and Temari? We're both us. We'll manage Sunagakure together. You can see, not many in this world's Sand Village truly trust Gaara..."
Though only three months for them—just a few days here—it had opened her mind and broadened her horizons.
"No matter how well Gaara does in this world, to most in Sunagakure, he's just a transitional Kazekage, needed only until someone else strong enough comes along.
His status as a Jinchuriki, coupled with the destruction and fear he caused in the past, has made many opposed to him. If not for risking his life to defend the village during the Akatsuki attack, he wouldn't even have the support he does now..."
The Temari from this world seemed a bit melancholy.
Yes, Gaara has only been Kazekage for three years, but before that, he was a figure of fear and destruction—a Jinchuriki who rampaged through the village.
How could they forget so quickly?
Plus, after seeing how Sand and Leaf villages merged in the other world, and even being tempted by the other world's Temari, she too wanted to join that big family.
"To protect the village... to protect Gaara and the others."
Temari murmured, her gaze turning resolute.
She'd experienced a true trial in the other world—especially with her other self beside her! Thinking about this, she looked at the other Temari—brighter, more confident, almost regal.
No one in Sunagakure knew that Princess Temari existed twice.
The two took turns going out or staying home, both using the same identity in this world.
This world's Sunagakure was too weak—so weak Temari could only shake her head. There was no need for complex schemes; they would easily be merged.
Not like Samui and the others in the Cloud, who had to plot so hard.
...
The next day.
"Kazekage-sama, take care on the road!"
"Kankuro-sama, Temari-sama, we're counting on you!"
In the yellow sands, among the Sand ninjas seeing them off, some hoped their Kazekage would bring honor, while others sighed—if Sunagakure had another choice, they wouldn't have ended up with such a young Kazekage.
And still a Jinchuriki!
They were seeing off their Fifth Kazekage, who was about to attend the Five Kage Summit—his first appearance as Kazekage.
Gaara was the youngest Kage, so of course there was concern.
"All right, let's get going."
Temari waved at everyone with a smile.
"Kankuro, Gaara is the youngest among the Kage, so our job is to make sure no one looks down on him..."
The three walked out of the village.
Kankuro looked much grimmer, nodding heavily.
"The Five Kage Summit! I wonder what the other Kage are like!"
From their tones, one could tell: Temari was naturally confident and charismatic, while Kankuro was more a pure ninja.
Gaara turned to look curiously at his big sister.
"Gaara, what's up?"
Noticing Gaara's doubt, Temari asked, puzzled.
Gaara was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Nothing... Just feels like you've been different lately, Temari."
Before Temari could reply, Kankuro burst out laughing.
"Gaara, Temari's just got a boyfriend now."
Faced with Kankuro's teasing, Temari just smiled brilliantly, her eyes sparkling—not denying it.
Kankuro, hoping to see his sister embarrassed, was disappointed. Gaara nodded, understanding.
So she's got a boyfriend. No wonder she seemed different lately. Now it made sense.
"All right, enough nonsense. Kankuro, instead of joking, you should read this book—it's from Konoha, you know."
Temari said irritably, and the three walked out of the village.
At the same time, Gaara smiled upon hearing about the book, taking a red book from his ninja pouch.
My Struggle
No one in the ninja world noticed, but from Konoha, a red Will of Fire was quietly spreading across the ninja world.
...
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
"Akatsuchi-sama, Kurotsuchi-sama, we're counting on you to look after the Tsuchikage!"
"Third Tsuchikage, safe travels!"
"Tsuchikage-sama, show the other Kage what we're made of!"
Unlike Sunagakure's mixed feelings, the Iwa ninja smiled with pride, fully devoted to their Kage.
"At my age, I still have to attend the Five Kage Summit... No one cares how this old man feels."
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, sighed helplessly as the village saw him off. The village's atmosphere was great—everyone trained hard.
But why was there no outstanding new generation to succeed him?
Onoki was tired.
"Haha, then just retire, old man."
Kurotsuchi teased, and Onoki glared at his outspoken granddaughter.
As if he didn't want to!
Akatsuchi smiled, slinging the luggage over his shoulder. The three left to cheers from the crowd.
"Bon voyage, Tsuchikage-sama..."
Onoki smiled at the cheers behind him. It was this village atmosphere that kept him going.
...
Land of Water, Kirigakure.
Amid light mist, between tall buildings, Kirigakure was filled with greenery—second only to Konoha among the five great villages.
This world's Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, raised her Mizukage hat with a smile amid cheers.
"Long live the Mizukage!"
Her guards, Chojuro and Ao, stood by her. This time, Mei smiled as she put on her hat, but her eyes grew grave as she turned to leave.
Chojuro and Ao both sensed something was off.
"Chojuro, Mizukage-sama seems very interested in that book."
Mei held a red book. The characters "My Struggle" were clear on the cover.
Chojuro nodded softly: "Yeah, I heard it's from the Land of Fire. Lots of people are reading it now."
But the more perceptive Ao frowned. Something wasn't right—Mizukage-sama had been fixated on it for two months now.
Others flipped through books, but she just stared at a few pages.
Worried, Ao silently fell back, formed a hand seal, and suddenly activated his Byakugan behind his eyepatch.
Byakugan: Activated!
In an instant, Ao saw the contents of the book Mei was reading—it was photographs!
Ao's eyes widened in disbelief.
The photos were of their Fifth Mizukage, Mei herself, intimately holding a man.
The two looked very close—some in wedding attire at a church, some in matching outfits in the Land of Water, and others at amusement parks in the Land of Fire.
In every photo, Mei looked happy, often leaning into the man's embrace.
"Ao!"
Suddenly, Mei's voice rang out like from hell. Ao turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.
Crap—caught!
"M-Mizukage-sama, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
Ao hurriedly closed his Byakugan, apologizing in terror. He feared another Mizukage manipulated by Sharingan, but instead, he'd stumbled on her private life.
No wonder she wouldn't marry—she was secretly married all along!
No wonder she hated being pushed to wed, she already had someone.
Recalling Kirigakure's Bloody Mist days, Ao understood—maybe it was to protect her family.
Mei glared at Ao angrily. Chojuro, confused, wondered what was happening.
"Ao! If you dare say a word, I'll kill you!"
The threat, heavy with killing intent, made Ao nod frantically, sweating all over.
So Mizukage-sama already has a husband!
But Mei just snorted and put away the scandalous book.
Inside, Mei was furious. Damn it! Couldn't her other self have a little shame?
Not only hugging and cuddling but wearing a wedding dress?!
Why did the other world's Mei get such a handsome man, but not her? She couldn't forgive even herself in another world!
Wearing a wedding dress! So many photos! Even if it's another world's me, I can't forgive it!
When Konoha's envoys brought that gift, she thought it was a prank. But when she opened it, the Sharingan genjutsu activated, pulling her into an illusory world.
There, she saw another, fantastical ninja world, with a completely different history.
Like a dream!
The book also contained private photos, showing her body in detail—even a red mole she'd never noticed, and only discovered after secretly checking at home.
After more investigation—Roran's Dragon Vein, and info from Konoha—she began to believe the other world was real.
"Damn it!"
Thinking of her other self, Mei couldn't suppress her agitation. "Little vixen, so shameless."
She even set up a meeting—at this Five Kage Summit, she'd come to meet her.
"How could I be so shameless—taking such photos, even... with a seductive look on my face!"
Thinking of the sealed photos, Mei blushed—utter humiliation.
"But! Unifying the ninja world, that man's ambition is even bigger than his looks!"
Recalling the other world's ambitions, Mei frowned.
If it was real—if that world truly existed—then she...
But if it's a lie, she would never agree, not even if her other self was involved!
Mei's mood shifted all the way, making Ao nervous.
Not good! Mizukage-sama is not one to take lightly!
"Chojuro, don't ever mention—"
Normally silent, Ao gossiped in private and warned Chojuro quietly.
Chojuro, straightforward as ever, looked confused. "Why?"
"Because Mizukage-sama is already married. Or secretly keeping a man."
Chojuro was shocked.
But as they exchanged words, they didn't notice Mei's face darkening further ahead.
"Shut up! Another word, and I'll kill you both!"
"Yes—yes!"
The two shouted in fear, while Mei, face iron-black, strode angrily toward the Land of Iron.
This time, she was going to meet that man—and that shameless vixen of another world. She had to see... had her other self gone mad?
