At this moment, in the world of Naruto, the Hidden Leaf Village (Konoha) was enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
Haruno Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, and others all sensed something was off.
What they didn't realize yet was that the Chunin Exams were about to begin—a major event that would bring many unfamiliar faces to the village.
But compared to that, it was a certain video Naruto had discovered that completely captured Sasuke and Sakura's attention.
"Hey, Sasuke, Sakura! Come check this out. This video looks awesome!"
Sasuke approached reluctantly at first, uninterested.
But when he saw the title, his pupils shrank slightly."'Top Ten Most Shocking Scenes in the World'...? Naruto, you might've actually found something interesting this time."
Sakura, on the other hand, didn't fully understand what the fuss was about. But Sasuke seemed genuinely intrigued—perhaps this kind of thing really appealed to guys.
No doubt, Haruki knew exactly how to craft a title that grabs attention.
Meanwhile, in different corners of Konoha, several well-known figures were also watching the video.
Kakashi, Might Guy, Rock Lee, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen were among them.
Kakashi: "Hmm? Top ten shocking scenes? I bet it features my Raikiri… or maybe the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique. Those are definitely 'shocking'."
Might Guy: "Haha! When it comes to shocking techniques, who can top my Eight Gates? Eight Gates Released Formation, open! Just the energy alone shakes the heavens!"
Rock Lee: "That's right, Sensei! I wonder if I'll make the list!"
Might Guy: "Believe in yourself, Lee! If you make the list—5,000 push-ups as a reward!"
Rock Lee's eyes gleamed with determination.
"Yes, Sensei!"
Nearby, Tenten and Neji stood stunned—but they, too, couldn't resist their curiosity. How shocking could these "shocking" scenes really be?
Shikamaru, Ino, and the rest of the Konoha rookies also had their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, in the world of Bleach—
Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, and the others had just returned from rescuing Rukia in the Soul Society when they came across the same video.
They were all puzzled.
Orihime Inoue: "Huh? I wonder what kind of scenes will make the top ten."
Uryu Ishida: "Tch, bad timing for a video like this… Still, maybe the scene where I defeated Kurotsuchi Mayuri will make it. One arrow—clean hit."
Even though Uryu had lost his Quincy powers in that battle, he still maintained a good attitude.
He adjusted his glasses thoughtfully, believing someone must've captured that moment and turned it into this video.
Ichigo immediately pushed back.
Ichigo: "No way. If we're talking shocking scenes, it has to be my fight with Byakuya—or maybe my duel with Kenpachi. Now that was intense."
Chad: "When the Great Hollow appeared… even I was shocked."
Orihime: "There should be ten total… Maybe Ichigo-kun and Uryu will both be on it."
Elsewhere in the multiverse—
In the worlds of Fairy Tail, Demon Slayer, Fox Spirit Matchmaker, and others, countless powerful individuals also saw this strange new video appear on the Multiverse Projection Forum.
Their curiosity was no less than that of Ichigo, Naruto, and Sasuke.
Everyone expected to see familiar faces, familiar battles.
Even Sengoku from the world of One Piece voiced his suspicion—
"Surely I'll see someone I recognize…"
But when the first shocking scene began playing…
Even Sengoku and Kizaru were left speechless.
The title flashed across the screen:
[#10: Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Ulquiorra – A Breathtaking Clash Beneath the Night Sky of Las Noches]
Suddenly, across the world of One Piece—
Shock. Confusion. Disbelief.
On Onigashima in the Land of Wano, Kaido—Emperor of the Sea—frowned in irritation.
"What is this? Ichigo? Ulquiorra? Where the hell is Las Noches? A shocking clash? Hahaha! How shocking could it possibly be?"
"They look like nobodies."
As one of the Four Emperors of the New World, Kaido had the strength to back his pride. Seeing two unfamiliar names made him scoff.
Meanwhile, on Whole Cake Island, Big Mom was also confused and displeased.
"Huh? Why not me? Not Kaido, not Whitebeard, not Shanks… Is this video a joke?"
But aboard the Moby Dick, Whitebeard stayed calm.
He took a hearty swig of wine and grinned.
"Let's see what this scene is all about…"
His crew watched silently, curious and wary.
The countdown had begun.
What kind of scene could truly shake the multiverse?
