Multiversal Wanderer: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 69: Kunlun

"Why would you pass on Kunlun's secrets to an outsider? Those red-haired foreigners aren't descendants of Yanhuang! Are you really going to let the inheritance end in the hands of these foreigners, Shou Lao?!"

"Calm yourself, Thunder God," Shou Lao replied, voice weary. "You think I want this? But the Jade Emperor and his men already left for a higher realm. Only the two of us remain to guard Kunlun, and I can't bear to let the teachings die with us. Over the years, I've searched, but among the descendants of Yan and Huang, there's been no one truly worthy. I have no other choice."

Thunder God spat in frustration. "We can't let these foreigners walk away with it!"

Nearby, Danny Rand stood awkwardly, lost in the heated argument. He didn't understand a word being said—aside from English and Spanish, he was clueless. But even he could tell the shouting was about him.

—----

"Is everyone ready?" Su Xiuyu asked calmly, glancing over the group.

Madara, Izuna, Mito, Asaoka, Uchiha Osamu, several Uchiha members, and a few from the Uzumaki clan all gave a nod.

"Alright, let's move."

In a blink, they vanished. Although the sudden mobilization of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans startled Konoha, no one understood what had happened.

Back in Kunlun, Shou Lao stared at the dusty chessboard before him, slowly placing down black pieces as he sighed.

"It's been too long since the Jade Emperor left this tiny realm. No one to play a game with... even the board's covered in dust."

His voice dropped as he muttered to himself, "I didn't want to teach Danny Rand either, but fate is relentless. Even the Ancient One wouldn't dare alter the world line without cause. What can I do? Unless the Jade Emperor returns... or something unexpected happens—"

A thunderous boom cut through the air, shaking the very foundations of Kunlun. Dust flew from the chessboard, and Shou Lao's heart skipped a beat.

At the gates of Kunlun, two massive Susanoo figures appeared, floating in mid-air. Su Xiuyu and Madara had immediately summoned their Susanoo to catch their allies mid-descent, preventing what could've been a deadly fall.

"How is everyone?" Su Xiuyu asked, scanning the group.

"All safe," someone replied.

Only then did Su Xiuyu look around. The landscape was stunning—endless mountain ranges and steep cliffs in every direction.

System: Arrived at Kunlun. Acquiring space-time energy...

Su Xiuyu murmured to himself, "So the system finally led me to a real destination. If this is Kunlun, then we're definitely on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The frigid air, the rough terrain—it all checks out."

He frowned. Still, Kunlun isn't exactly famous here. In the Marvel world, Eastern realms barely get mentioned.

"Who goes there?!" a commanding voice echoed.

Thunder God had rushed over after sensing the sudden disturbance. He spotted the group at Kunlun's entrance and instinctively raised his guard. Something was off—this wasn't a normal intrusion.

The man spoke fluent Chinese, and his presence made it clear: Thunder God was a true Eastern superpower.

"Greetings," Su Xiuyu said politely. "I'm Su Xiuyu. These are my friends and clansmen. Sorry for the commotion—we're just passing through."

Both he and Madara dispelled their Susanoo. Thunder God wasn't stupid. Even without the towering avatars, he could feel the immense spiritual pressure radiating from them.

Still, Su Xiuyu's calm demeanor and respectful tone gave him pause. After some brief conversation, Thunder God confirmed they'd truly arrived in Kunlun.

This was one of those rare occasions when Kunlun opened—once every ten years. During this window, the sanctuaries of Kunlun across other latitudes became exposed.

Thunder God was surprised at how authentic Su Xiuyu's Chinese sounded, and more so by how effortlessly he concealed his formidable strength. In the face of this, Thunder God treated the visitors with newfound respect.

Danny Rand, meanwhile, could only watch in frustration. For the past two days, Kunlun's guardians had merely tossed him scraps to keep him alive. Any further help? Forget it.

Honestly, if Danny weren't still a kid, Thunder God might have already thrown him out.

And as for the lack of any alert when Su Xiuyu's party arrived? Thunder God conveniently ignored it. Better not to ask too many questions when you didn't want complicated answers.

Thus, the newly arrived group from another world temporarily found refuge in Kunlun.

Truth be told, Su Xiuyu didn't know much about Kunlun—only vague memories of an Eastern wonderland that adopted a foreign kid and trained him to become "Iron Fist." That kid later returned to America to be a superhero.

Su Xiuyu had always found it odd. With so many Eastern disciples in Kunlun, why choose a foreigner to inherit the title of Iron Fist? It never sat right with him.

Now that he'd seen the place firsthand, he understood. Kunlun had fallen far from its prime. Aside from Thunder God and Shou Lao, the so-called immortals had long left this realm for higher dimensions.

The once-grand secret realm was barren. Only puppet guards remained—creations of the ancient Jade Emperor, crafted using the mystical art of "casting beans into soldiers." They resembled real people and handled day-to-day chores tirelessly, more efficient than any human.

Clearly, the Jade Emperor had once wielded incredible power.

"Su Xiuyu, some of your companions speak and dress like they're from Japan," Thunder God said, his tone cautious.

Su Xiuyu didn't flinch.

"Lord Thunder God, I'm a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Though my bloodline has evolved, I hold that heritage dear. Perhaps you've heard the saying—'One flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi.' I am one of many worlds."

He gestured toward his companions. "They are all people I met during my journeys through the myriad worlds. After years together, they've proven themselves trustworthy."

"And let me be clear—they have no ties to Japan in any universe. Their language may sound similar, but none of them feel any fondness for Japan."

Su Xiuyu kept his answer honest and to the point. He had no reason to hide anything—he was confident in his power, and he knew Thunder God wasn't a fool. Kunlun might be weakened, but it still held millennia of legacy. Lying would only erode trust.

Thunder God studied him, then nodded.

"If you're being honest, then I understand. Kunlun truly is in a tough spot these days. From what I can see, you're undoubtedly a descendant of Yanhuang—even if your bloodline's been altered. Honestly, people like me are already a blend of countless lineages. What matters is intent."

"If your friends are willing to identify with the Yanhuang civilization, there's no issue with them joining Kunlun."

Su Xiuyu raised a brow. "You're not worried we'll take over? That we'll claim Kunlun as our own?"

Thunder God smiled.

"Kunlun belongs to Yanhuang. If you have the power to seize it, then Kunlun rightfully belongs to you. So long as you remember your roots, that's all that matters."

(TL:Descendants of Yan and Huang (Yanhuang)" refers to the mythological ancestors of the Han Chinese people—Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor (Huangdi). It's a poetic way of saying "our people" or "the Chinese bloodline)

-------------

Rand was eventually sent away by Thunder God. Thunder God never liked this foreign kid and had no intention of passing down Kunlun's secrets to him. The only reason Rand got this far was because Shou Lao wanted to find a successor. But now that Su Xiuyu had brought over a large group of people—several of whom looked extremely talented—Thunder God finally saw a better option. Their fluent Chinese made them seem more like descendants of Yan and Huang. Although Thunder God knew it was a stretch to claim the others were truly of that lineage, at least culturally, Su Xiuyu's group felt more in sync with Kunlun's values.

Unfortunately, Rand missed his chance to change his fate. In the Marvel world, strength was everything. This place was even more chaotic and dangerous than the ninja world.

"Uchiha Kaminari, Uchiha Naka, Uchiha Baru, Uzumaki Naoto, Uzumaki Matsusaka, and the rest of you—stay in Kunlun and get familiar with this world. Learn both Chinese and English well. Thunder God has agreed to teach you some basic knowledge. Don't waste this opportunity. This is a brand new combat system, completely different from chakra. Take it seriously and study hard."

"Clan leader, we'll go out first and scout the situation beyond the mountains," one of them replied.

"Yes, Master Xiuyu!"

In Kamar-Taj, nestled deep between the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas, the Ancient One suddenly shivered during meditation.

"What is this? The timeline has shifted—so much of the future has changed." She immediately activated the Eye of Agamotto, peering through time and space. But everything was now blurred, both past and future obscured.

"Who... who has such a powerful presence that they can disrupt all of space-time like this?"

Su Xiuyu and his group had only just arrived in Kunlun, completely unaware they had already triggered Ancient One's attention. Of course, Su Xiuyu wouldn't be too shocked if he found out. After all, the Ancient One had the Time Stone and enjoyed poking around in time. Plus, she was definitely one of the Marvel world's strongest—and known for borrowing things without returning them.

Although Su Xiuyu wasn't strong enough to defeat her yet, he wasn't too worried. Unless she went insane and ignored the risk of corruption from the Dark Dimension, she wouldn't target him outright. His Otsutsuki bloodline was still evolving, and its limits remained unknown. There was no reason to fear her just yet.

Still, Su Xiuyu was very interested in Ancient One's spatial magic. While he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kamar-Taj's space manipulation was more versatile in certain ways. If he could learn it without paying a price, that would be ideal.

Together with Madara, Mito, Izuna, and the others, Su Xiuyu used a Transformation Jutsu to leave Kunlun and enter the mortal world.

Looking at the barren landscape around them, Su Xiuyu frowned. "Thunder God said the exit was in the mountains. Is this the Himalayas? Am I really about to run into the Ancient One right away?"

As much as he wanted her space magic, meeting her this soon might be a bit too much excitement.

"Everyone, stay alert. Don't attack any unfamiliar people who show up," Su Xiuyu warned. He didn't want Gu Yi—Ancient One—getting attacked by Madara or the others before they knew where Kamar-Taj even was. Best to avoid unnecessary conflict.

More importantly, Su Xiuyu felt something wrong with his body.

"Protect me. I don't feel right." And with that, he collapsed.

"Xiu Yu?!"

"Xiu Yu!"

System Notification: Host has successfully entered the Marvel Multiverse. Natural energy infusion has begun. Activating protection mode...

Madara and Izuna instantly summoned their Susanoo without hesitation. Uzumaki Mito raised a barrier to shield them. This was the first time Su Xiuyu had ever fainted like this, and the group was visibly shaken.

"Shan, take the others and secure the perimeter. Don't let anything get close until Xiu Yu wakes up."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Su Xiuyu felt like he had the best sleep of his life. His whole body relaxed. When he finally opened his eyes, his pupils instinctively shifted—from the Eternal Mangekyō to a light lavender Rinnegan. He immediately noticed the air was filled with visible streams of natural energy.

"Xiu Yu! You're awake!"

"Xiu Yu, your eyes...?"

Madara, Mito, and Izuna quickly gathered around him, staring in shock.

"What's wrong? I can see everything so clearly now." Su Xiuyu looked confused at their expressions.

"Here, look," said Mito, handing him a mirror.

Su Xiuyu took it and stared. No wonder they looked so shocked. Both the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans had long histories and strong bloodlines—they probably had a few guesses already.

"Well, don't panic. I'm fine. And don't overthink it either. What you're seeing is the legendary Rinnegan."

"What?! It's really the Rinnegan?" Madara's voice cracked slightly. For someone so obsessed with power, this revelation hit hard. If Su Xiuyu could awaken it, maybe he could too...

"Everyone, sit down. I'll tell you a little story."

---

"Long ago, the Sage of Six Paths had two sons—Indra and Ashura. Indra inherited the Sage's eyes, which gave birth to the Sharingan and eventually the Rinnegan. Ashura inherited the Sage's body—his vitality, chakra, and endurance. Their chakras never disappeared. They just kept reincarnating through the generations."

"The latest reincarnations were from the Uchiha and Senju clans. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about—Madara and Hashirama."

"The final evolution of the Sharingan is the Rinnegan. It's a natural progression of the bloodline. In truth, the Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans are all descended from the Sage of Six Paths. That's why these three clans are so damn powerful."

"The Senju clan had massive chakra reserves and tough physical bodies. The Uchiha had powerful ocular techniques. The Uzumaki were like cousins to the Senju—with enormous chakra, crazy longevity, and unmatched vitality."

"So yeah, don't freak out about the Rinnegan. It's just a logical outcome of our bloodlines."

Su Xiuyu's calm tone helped ease their tension. Everything suddenly made sense. The Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans weren't just strong—they were all part of the same ancestral web. That explained why bloodline ninjas had such a huge edge from birth.
