Chapter Title: The False World
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Hahaha! Fake! It's all fake!"
"This world doesn't have Uchiha Madara at all! No Sage of Six Paths! And definitely no Otsutsuki Kaguya!"
Under the scarlet blood moon of the Fourth Great Ninja War, at the center of the battlefield, Uzumaki Menma—surrounded by the 80,000-strong Allied Shinobi Forces—stood atop the Black Nine-Tails and let out a manic laugh.
The many shinobi world powerhouses below wore grave expressions. Over the past two years, they had grown numb to this madman who kept proclaiming that "this world is all fake."
After the laughter subsided, Uzumaki Menma removed the white three-eyed fox mask from his face, sensing the fetal stirrings from his transplanted Sharingan and the mounting rejection from the world itself.
Fifteen years had passed since he transmigrated into this world.
He had thought he was Uzumaki Naruto, only to discover he was Uzumaki Menma instead. His parents, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, were both alive and well, which let Menma realize that the world he inhabited was merely a false one under Tsukuyomi of Limited Duration.
In search of a way to escape, he had spent over a decade growing stronger. He collected various Kekkei Genkai and Secret Techniques, even transplanting a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan for himself and subduing the Black Nine-Tails, ascending to Super Kage Level.
Yet no matter how he searched, he found no traces or legends of Uchiha Madara, the Sage of Six Paths, or Otsutsuki Kaguya anywhere in this world.
So Uzumaki Menma unleashed a Great Spiral Round Pill on each of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, sparking the Fourth Great Ninja War.
The Five Great Shinobi Villages assembled their 80,000 ninja into the Allied Shinobi Forces, and Menma seized the opportunity to expose the truth of this world.
Regardless of how many of those 80,000 believed him, the false world had begun rejecting him.
As the repulsion from the Infinite Tsukuyomi world intensified, Uzumaki Menma gazed joyfully at the white glow rising from his body.
He was finally leaving this world.
He just didn't know which point in the Naruto world's timeline he would awaken to—or if it would already be the late stages of the Fourth Great Ninja War, under Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"This is my parting gift to this world."
Uzumaki Menma's right hand coalesced a dark purple energy orb. At its core swirled high-density dark attribute Chakra, encircled by a starry ring of Wind Release Chakra.
As the Great Spiral Round Pill descended, white light pierced the heavens. A colossal explosion engulfed half the battlefield and over ten thousand ninja!
Uzumaki Menma vanished into the white light along with it.
Konoha 51, October 10th—night.
In a secret delivery room shrouded in barriers deep within the forest outside the Hidden Leaf Village, Uzumaki Menma slowly opened his eyes.
"As expected of the Yellow Flash."
"But what are you going to do next?"
A voice rang out from very close by.
Uzumaki Menma's eyes widened as he saw the tiger-striped masked man cradling him in one arm.
He tilted his head slightly and spotted Namikaze Minato holding a blond infant in his arms.
"Minato!"
From the bed not far away, Uzumaki Kushina cried out in agony.
Nine-Tails Night?
Wait—Minato's holding Naruto... so who am I?
No time for further thought. The explosive tag left behind by the masked man detonated, blasting Namikaze Minato out of the room.
In that instant of explosion, Uchiha Obito whisked Menma and Kushina into the Kamui Dimension.
"Menma!"
Inside the Kamui Dimension, Kushina struggled to rise, but her body was too weak from the fresh ordeal of childbirth.
The tiger-striped masked Uchiha Obito swung two chain-bound kunai, binding Kushina firmly in place.
