Multiversal Wanderer: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 41: Invitation to be a Guest

"Mr. Su, would it be possible for you and your companions to visit China as our guests? Believe me, China is known for its hospitality," Wang Tao proposed with a smile, seizing the opportunity to strengthen their relationship. It would be foolish not to.

"That's fine," Su Xiuyu agreed without hesitation. Since there were no significant threats in this world and China appeared genuinely friendly, there was no harm in accepting the invitation.

During the brief exchange, Wang Tao quickly noticed something—while the group seemed loosely organized, it was clear that Su Xiuyu and the long-haired man beside him held the real decision-making power. The others followed their lead.

Soon, they all boarded a military helicopter large enough to accommodate the entire group. Clearly, the military had specially prepared it for their transport.

For most of them, it was their first time riding in a helicopter, and the experience felt fresh and exhilarating. However, the deafening roar of the rotor blades made conversation nearly impossible—they had to shout just to hear each other.

As they flew, Wang Tao made another observation. With the exception of Su Xiuyu, everyone in the group spoke Japanese. Fortunately, as China official representative, he was fluent in the language and communicated with them effortlessly.

Throughout the journey, Wang Tao quietly analyzed the group's dynamics. The leaders were undoubtedly Su Xiuyu and Uchiha Madara. Su Xiuyu's name was clearly of China origin, while Madara's was distinctly from Japan. The only woman, based on their interactions, seemed to be Su Xiuyu's fiancée. The rest appeared to be clan members.

The extraterrestrial theory was confirmed—Su Xiuyu himself had openly admitted they were visitors from another world. Yet Wang Tao refrained from prying into the group's abilities or powers, knowing that pushing too far could damage their budding relationship.

The helicopter flew swiftly and soon landed at a military base in China.

The base had clearly made extensive preparations. As this was the first official contact with beings from another world, the China military had rehearsed for various possible scenarios. They were prepared to be bold but cautious.

When the group disembarked, Wang Tao led them to the main hall where a modest welcome ceremony awaited. Unlike the grandiose displays of some countries, China kept it simple and formal, prioritizing diplomacy over spectacle.

"Welcome to the Daqing Base of China," Wang Tao declared. "On behalf of my country and its people, I extend our warmest greetings."

The ceremony was courteous but not overly grand. Only a handful of base personnel were present, ensuring the atmosphere remained intimate and controlled.

In the reception room, they were treated to an array of authentic China cuisine. The aroma of freshly prepared dishes filled the room, a rare comfort after days of battle.

As they ate, Su Xiuyu savored the flavors with genuine appreciation.

In his previous life, he had never been able to enjoy such delicacies. Back then, he was just an ordinary man with a modest income. Now, with the power to travel between worlds, he could indulge in the finest cuisines without restraint. Wandering across dimensions was far more enjoyable than being bound to a single world.

"This is truly delicious. Thank you, Wang, for bringing us such authentic food. My friends enjoyed it as well," Su Xiuyu praised sincerely.

Madara and Izuna, while less familiar with the cuisine, devoured the dishes enthusiastically. They weren't refined critics of food but clearly appreciated good flavors.

Indeed, no matter where you were in the multiverse, good food knew no borders.

"I'm glad you like it," Wang Tao smiled warmly. "I was worried it might not suit your taste, given how different your food culture may be."

His concern was genuine. Hosting extraterrestrial guests came with unpredictable challenges, including culinary preferences. Fortunately, the meal was a success.

Once the plates were cleared, Su Xiuyu leaned back slightly and turned to Wang Tao.

"Wang, I know you have questions. We've finished eating, so there's no need for formality. Ask whatever you wish. I'll answer what I can, but forgive me if there are things I cannot disclose," he said directly.

Wang Tao appreciated the bluntness. "Then, if you'll allow me, I have a few questions for the sake of information exchange."

"Go ahead."

"First, Mr. Su, could you tell us about the monsters that recently attacked San Francisco and Manila? Their source, purpose—anything you know would be helpful."

Su Xiuyu didn't keep him in suspense.

"I do know a few things. First, you can call these creatures Kaiju. The name comes from Japan's word for 'monster,' and it's fitting. However, these Kaiju are actually biological weapons."

"What?!"

Wang Tao shot to his feet, eyes wide with shock.

It was no surprise. The revelation that the Kaiju were biological weapons changed everything. If they were artificial creations, it meant that Earth was under direct assault by another civilization. And they had already begun their invasion.

"Please, Wang, sit down and let me finish," Su Xiuyu said calmly, gesturing for him to be seated.

Realizing his outburst, Wang Tao quickly apologized and resumed his seat.

"My apologies. Please continue."

Su Xiuyu nodded.

"These Kaiju were created by an alien civilization known as the Precursors —or if you prefer, the Prophets. They are the masterminds behind these biological weapons. Their technological advancements, particularly in biotechnology and wormhole travel, far surpass yours."

Pausing for a moment, he let the information sink in.

"In fact, this civilization once visited Earth during the Triassic period, long before humans existed. However, the environment at the time was unsuitable for their survival, so they left. But now, with Earth's atmosphere changed and conditions favorable, they've returned—this time with their Kaiju army."

Wang Tao frowned, struggling to comprehend the implications.

"But... Mr. Su, how do you know they were here during the Triassic period? We've found no archaeological evidence of such an event."

Su Xiuyu's expression remained impassive.

"I can't reveal that," he replied flatly.

There was no point in explaining the complex nature of the Sharingan's predictive abilities. Madara and Mito had always regarded their precognitive skills as a unique power of their clan—a secret that didn't need to be shared with outsiders.

"I see..." Wang Tao wisely chose not to press further.

"Please, continue," he said, prompting Su Xiuyu to share more.

"The Precursors are not limited to one planet. They control multiple worlds. However, you'll only need to worry about defeating the Kaiju and Precursors on this world. You won't face their entire fleet."

The representatives of China listened in tense silence. Some were hopeful, others filled with dread.

"But don't be too optimistic," Su Xiuyu warned grimly.

"The Kaiju you've seen so far are merely scouts—the weakest of their kind. As time passes, stronger and more terrifying Kaiju will invade. You need to prepare accordingly."

His words were like a splash of cold water, jolting the China representatives into sobering reality.

If the current Kaiju were only the vanguard, how much stronger would the main force be? Would Earth even be able to resist?

Wang Tao's voice was tinged with desperation.

"Mr. Su, what should we do? Conventional weapons are useless against Kaiju. How can we possibly resist them? Do you have any suggestions?"

For a brief moment, hope flickered in his eyes. Though he knew Su Xiuyu was not obligated to help, he clung to the possibility of assistance.

Su Xiuyu met his gaze and answered honestly.

"There is a way. But..." he trailed off, his expression solemn, "it won't be easy."

------

"I'll teach you a method," Su Xiuyu said calmly. "Use the technology you've mastered to build towering, powerful giants—machines on par with the Kaiju. Rely on their massive size and strength to subdue or even destroy the Kaiju in direct combat."

Wang Tao's eyes instantly lit up. Although he knew how monumental the task would be—overcoming countless technical hurdles and consuming unimaginable resources—it didn't matter. When humanity's survival was at stake, no price was too high.

"Mr. Su, would you be willing to provide us with some guidance?" Wang Tao asked, hopeful yet cautious.

Su Xiuyu shook his head slightly.

"Unfortunately, I can't help you there. I'm not a scientist. If you ask me about basic science, I wouldn't know much. Building giant war machines is beyond my expertise. You'll have to rely on your own people for that."

Though disappointed, Wang Tao could tell Su Xiuyu was being sincere.

"I understand," he replied with a hint of regret.

After a brief pause, Wang Tao hesitated before asking his next question.

"Mr. Su... if you don't mind me asking, are you a superpowered being like Mr. Madara?" His tone was cautious, aware that such a personal question might be intrusive. However, he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Su Xiuyu wasn't offended in the slightest. The strong had no need for secrecy or fear. Besides, since they were in China—a place he regarded with some fondness—he didn't mind revealing a bit of information.

"I'll explain briefly," he said. "But this is confidential."

Wang Tao's expression turned serious.

"Confidential?"

Su Xiuyu smirked faintly.

"Yes. Keep it a state secret, limited to a select group in China. The rest of the world doesn't need to know."

Realizing that Su Xiuyu was intentionally giving China privileged information, Wang Tao's respect for him deepened.

"Understood. We will keep it a secret," he promised.

"Our abilities come from practice," Su Xiuyu began. "In our world, training from a young age allows us to develop strength and techniques. Madara and I belong to the most powerful ninja clan of our homeworld. We simply travel because we were bored and happened to stumble upon this place."

Wang Tao's face twitched slightly.

Bored? Travel between worlds just because they were bored? It was such an absurdly casual explanation that it left him momentarily speechless.

"You can rest assured," Su Xiuyu continued. "The ninja world holds no interest in conquering this dimension. Every civilization has its own path of development. Very few people can cross dimensional barriers like us. Only my clan and those I personally recognize have the ability to traverse worlds."

Wang Tao subtly exhaled in relief. Though he had never asked this question directly, the answer was reassuring. With the Precursors and Kaiju already threatening the planet, the last thing they needed was another world of superpowered beings looming over them.

By stating that his group was the only one capable of interdimensional travel, Su Xiuyu offered a rare glimmer of hope. It meant that Earth wouldn't have to deal with a full-scale ninja invasion.

"Then... could you teach me your training methods, sir?" Wang Tao asked, half-joking but also half-hopeful.

Su Xiuyu's lips curved into a faint smile, but he shook his head firmly.

"That's impossible. Even if I wanted to teach you, you wouldn't be able to learn it."

Seeing Wang Tao's confusion, he explained further.

"Wang Tao, we're not the same species. We only look similar. Strictly speaking, we are aliens. Our genetic structure is fundamentally different. No matter how hard you try, you wouldn't be able to replicate our techniques."

Wang Tao's face stiffened slightly. Though he had suspected their physiology was different, hearing Su Xiuyu outright refer to them as aliens made the gap between them feel even more insurmountable.

"But," Su Xiuyu added after a brief pause, "I can offer you some practical advice."

Wang Tao's eyes brightened with hope.

"First, build humanoid mechas capable of close-quarters combat with Kaiju. Use nuclear power as the energy source—other power sources won't be durable enough."

Wang Tao nodded thoughtfully.

"Second, train pilots immediately. Controlling such massive machines will be no easy task. You'll need elite fighters who can handle the physical and mental strain."

His expression turned serious.

"Lastly, don't rely on other countries. Even though this is a global threat, unity is unlikely. Focus on your own national strength. You'll have to shoulder the burden yourself."

Wang Tao's brows furrowed. He understood the implication. In times of crisis, diplomacy was fragile. The only way to guarantee survival was to rely on their own strength.

Su Xiuyu's suggestions were direct and unyielding. In the original timeline, nations had foolishly built massive walls, believing they could block the Kaiju's advance with sheer height and stone. It was nothing but a childish delusion.

"Got it. We will take your suggestions seriously," Wang Tao assured him.

"Now, just one more question. What level of strength do the current Kaiju have compared to you?"

Su Xiuyu immediately recognized the underlying intent. Wang Tao wasn't just asking about the Kaiju—he was gauging Su Xiuyu's true power.

"To me and Madara," Su Xiuyu replied casually, "the Kaiju are mere appetizers. These ones are just Level 3, hardly a challenge. In the future, you'll encounter Level 4 or even Level 5 Kaiju."

Wang Tao's face paled slightly.

"Even stronger ones?" he muttered under his breath.

"Yes," Su Xiuyu confirmed.

"When you build your mechas, leave room for upgrades. The world is constantly evolving. You'll need to adapt accordingly."

As he spoke, he clapped Wang Tao on the shoulder.

"That's all for today. Take your time and think it through carefully."

Wang Tao felt a mix of awe and apprehension.

Su Xiuyu had shared a wealth of information—more than he could have hoped for.

As Su Xiuyu and his group rose from their seats, he casually added one final warning.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

"Oh, and one more thing," he said.

"The Kaiju are intelligent. They will remember their past defeats. Every time you face them, they'll adapt, learning from their previous failures. They can even transmit data from their fallen comrades back to their creators. So, don't rely on a single combat strategy."

After delivering this ominous message, Su Xiuyu and his group left the room, leaving Wang Tao in deep contemplation.

As the door closed, Wang Tao immediately turned to his officers.

"Pass down the order. Gather all specialists in electromechanics, nuclear physics, and robotics immediately. We are launching the 'God' project today. Our goal is to build humanoid warriors to fight against the invading Kaiju."

"At the same time, send a report to the other governments," he added.

"Omit all information regarding Su Xiuyu and his group. Keep their identities and powers classified."

His eyes hardened as he gave the final order.

"We can't count on the other nations to save us. This is our fight. No one else's."

Within hours, China most brilliant minds were mobilized. The 'God' project was officially set in motion.

Elsewhere, the governments of the world scrambled. Some were skeptical of Su Xiuyu's warning, dismissing it as exaggerated alien propaganda. Conspiracy theorists accused China of orchestrating the entire incident.

But China ignored the noise.

While the rest of the world bickered and doubted, they focused on survival.

They would not entrust their fate to others.

They would fight against the heavens and the earth if they had to.

And thus, the 'God' project was born.
