Demon Slayer World
Tanjiro looked back at the box on his back. "I wish Nezuko could become human again."
Tomioka Giyuu whispered softly, "Wipe out all demons."
Muzan wore a twisted smile. "My wish is to transcend all rules and become the ultimate, immortal demon."

Tokusatsu Universe
Belial: "I'll become the ultimate life form, destroy the Land of Light, and marry Mary!"
Jack: "For my brother Sakata! I must join the Tournament of Power!"
---
Bleach World
Yhwach: "My wish is simple—just give me back my past powers. Haha!"
Gin stared at Aizen's back with a smile, but deep inside, he screamed:
"Shoot him down!!!"
---
Avengers World
From his throne, Thanos scoffed with pride.
"A wish, huh? The Infinity Stones can grant them all."
"But if I had to say one thing…"
His gaze softened briefly.
"Let Death fall in love with me."

Naruto World
Deep inside a secret cavern, Akatsuki held an emergency meeting.
Through his mask, Kakuzu's eyes glinted with greed.
"Unlimited wealth? That's a dream I could live with."
Deidara's eyes gleamed: "To master the most perfect art… and then blow up Uchiha Itachi! Haha!"
Kisame turned to Itachi. "What about your wish, Itachi-san?"
"…"
He said nothing.
But in his heart, he silently hoped:
"I wish for that dumb little Sasuke to grow up healthy…"
Nagato furrowed his brows, speaking through Tendo Pain.
"All right, everyone! Quiet down!"
"Now that Naruto's strength is clear to see…"
"If his wish is to grow even stronger, we'll have no way to stop him!"
"Our only option is to try and recruit him… then figure out what to do next!"

Meanwhile...
Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched both fists, face red from excitement.
"Naruto! Wish for me to become young again! That's the only wish you need!!!"
Under the blazing stares of millions—
On the arena.
Luffy laughed loudly. "Don't hold back, Naruto! Go big—like ten wishes! Or a hundred! Hahaha!"
Before he could finish—
THWACK!
Roy bonked Luffy on the head with his staff, leaving a huge bump.
Nearby, Naruto cautiously asked, "Um… if I bring my parents back, does that count as one wish or more?"
Roy smiled gently. "Just one."
At that—
Naruto's face lit up with joy. Without hesitation, he shouted with more excitement than ever before:
"Grand Priest! Please bring my parents back to life!!!"
No need for Dragon Balls or Super Dragon Balls.
Roy nodded calmly.
He pointed his staff toward the sky.
Zing!
In an instant, two brilliant beams of golden light—overflowing with vibrant life energy—shot out and surged toward the screen.
Suddenly, those energies passed through the screen, phasing across dimensions.
In front of billions of stunned eyes—
The two beams split.
One entered the Pure Land.
The other entered the stomach of the Shinigami.
In that moment—
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were enveloped in radiant golden light.
Their bodies began to shimmer and fade—just moments away from disappearing into nothingness.
But the two smiled peacefully, closing their eyes as they embraced the light.
"Naruto! Our good son… Mom and Dad are coming home."
---
On the arena.
Roy gently tapped his staff to the ground.
"You two should now return to your worlds."
"I hope we see your faces again in the battles ahead."
Instantly—
Naruto and Luffy's bodies began to fade.
They smiled at each other, perfectly in sync.
They reached out—and bumped fists.
Naruto:
"It was an honor to fight you. I hope you fulfill your dream and become Pirate King!"
Luffy:
"Same here! Until next time!"
With that—
They vanished completely.
---
Audience chatter followed.
"Man, Naruto and Luffy are incredible!"
"Their forms were wild—one glowing like a sun, the other all muscle and mist!"
"This is getting exciting! I can't wait for the next fight!"
Zeno swung his legs joyfully, his little face brimming with anticipation.
Below him—
The twelve Gods of Destruction all looked a little disappointed.
While Naruto and Luffy didn't have power levels comparable to their own fighters, their potential was limitless.
Even if they couldn't become candidate Destroyer Gods, they could easily be the face of any multiversal force.
"What a shame," Goku sighed.
"I really wanted to ask what that black-arm thing was!"
Nearby, Chi-Chi and Bulma exchanged a fiery glance.
"If possible," they whispered, "we'd like to learn some of Luffy's life-recovery tricks!"
Vegeta snapped at the chattering crowd.
"Shut it! The second match is about to begin!"
His eyes locked onto the screen.
"I hope it's me and Kakarot next!"
"I'll defeat him in front of every universe! Haha!"
---
And at that very moment—
Countless screens across the multiverse lit up again:
[Second Match!]
[A Mortal Body… Equal to the Gods!!!]
