Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Anime to American Comics

Chapter 84: Planning Something Big

"Lord Hashirama, is there something you need from me?"

A soft, gentle female voice emanated from within the slug, making one feel as if they were basking in the warmth of spring.

"This is what happened..."

Senju Hashirama explained to the Slug Sage's clone about Chu Yang's desire to embark on a journey to train in Sage Mode.

If it were anyone else, the Slug Sage would certainly refuse, as Sage Mode training is extremely difficult, with most people losing their lives in the process.

However, since it was a disciple highly recommended by Senju Hashirama, there had to be something special about him.

After thinking for a moment, the Slug Sage agreed to Chu Yang's request, preparing to use the Reverse Summoning Technique to bring him to the Shikkotsu Forest.

The Three Great Sacred Lands and the ninja villages are actually in the same world, not in different dimensions.

The essence of the Summoning and Reverse Summoning Techniques is time-space ninjutsu, though they manifest differently from the Flying Thunder God Technique created by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

During the transportation process, Chu Yang was reminded of the feeling of Apparating in the wizarding world. Apparition has an implicit condition: the target destination should preferably be a place you've been to or have detailed knowledge of. Otherwise, you won't be able to focus your mind on an entirely unfamiliar location.

When the brief dizziness subsided and Chu Yang opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a place that resembled a primeval forest.

Each tree here was so thick that it would take dozens of people to encircle one, and there were some enormous stalked plants.

Just one leaf was the size of an adult human, large enough to block out the sun. Walking beneath them felt like walking in darkness.

In sparser areas, a bit of sunlight trickled through, creating a patchwork of light and shadow. The interplay of brightness and darkness formed ethereal, dreamy colors.

Standing here gave one the illusion of being in a fairy-tale kingdom.

"I finally understand how 'Gulliver's Travels' was written..."

As he spoke, a multitude of shadows surged forward, rushing toward him like a tide.

Chu Yang felt no malice and stood still.

Upon closer inspection, the shadows were slugs. A massive number of slugs gathered in front of Chu Yang, forming a gigantic slug that blotted out the sky.

Chu Yang bowed slightly and greeted, "Slug Sage, greetings."

The Slug Sage asked curiously, "You seem very calm. Isn't this your first time at a training ground?"

Chu Yang smiled and said, "It is, but I'm used to grand scenes."

The Slug Sage sighed, "Children like you, who survive the wars, truly are different."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Slug Sage led Chu Yang through the dense forest to an ancient temple, which was the place where the Slug Sage practiced.

"From today onward, you'll be training in Sage Mode here."

Meanwhile, Chu Yang's absence from his teaching duties caused a major uproar at the ninja academy.

Not only did his class include geniuses like Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, but it also had children from various prominent clans.

In a way, only Chu Yang could truly keep these students in check.

News of this quickly reached Senju Tobirama's ears, and although he was busy with administrative affairs, he had to find time to ask Senju Hashirama for details.

Upon learning that Chu Yang was training in the Shikkotsu Forest, Senju Tobirama temporarily reassigned Chu Yang's duties at the academy to others.

In his eyes, Chu Yang's future was the highest priority, as it concerned the village's prosperity for the next hundred years!

In the Harry Potter World, since returning from the Soul Palace, Chu Yang had been pondering a question: as part of the logistics team, it would be best if he could synchronize his status in real-time with his counterparts in other worlds.

Just like how Chu Yang in the Demon Slayer world did.

That way, he could continuously update his research results rather than waiting until each time he entered the Soul Palace to share them.

To achieve this, Chu Yang needed to prioritize getting rid of Voldemort.

However, he didn't have time to search for Voldemort's seven Horcruxes, with so much knowledge from various worlds to organize. Simply attempting to fuse ninjutsu with spells, and potentially integrating kidō and curses in the future, had already consumed a lot of Chu Yang's energy.

Being a researcher at heart, Chu Yang adhered to the principle of moving as little as possible. Dealing with a BOSS? Better to leave that to the locals.

Chu Yang needed to find a way to leak this information to Dumbledore. But telling him directly wouldn't work, and hinting at it would arouse suspicion.

Chu Yang couldn't afford to make Dumbledore doubt him, or all his previous efforts would be wasted.

He had to first let Harry discover this information and then pass it on to Dumbledore. This way, Chu Yang could keep himself out of the situation.

How could he help Harry find clues to the seven Horcruxes?

After thinking for a long time, Chu Yang finally came up with a solution: the Room of Requirement.

Chu Yang planned to write a book containing clues about the seven Horcruxes and hide it in the same place as Ravenclaw's Diadem.

When Harry found it, he would believe that the Room of Requirement had responded to his request.

Once Harry learned that he was Voldemort's final Horcrux, he would undoubtedly report it to Dumbledore.

If everything went smoothly, events would likely unfold as Chu Yang had planned.

Late at night, Chu Yang sneaked up to the eighth floor of the castle. After wandering the hallway for a bit, he found a tapestry. The entrance to the Room of Requirement was on the wall opposite it.

Standing before the wall, Chu Yang focused his thoughts on needing a place to hide something and walked back and forth three times.

In the next moment, a smooth door appeared on the wall.

Pushing the door open, Chu Yang saw shelves lined with objects.

"Truly amazing. I wonder how the magic of this room works. If time allowed, I'd love to stay and study it!"

After marveling for a while, Chu Yang summoned a Wood Clone to search for Ravenclaw's Diadem hidden in the Room of Requirement.

With the abundance of shelves, the Room of Requirement actually made it easier for Chu Yang to search. After sifting through layer upon layer, he found Ravenclaw's Diadem in less than half an hour.

Placing the meticulously crafted book he had prepared next to it, Chu Yang then left the Room of Requirement.

The next day, during breakfast in the Great Hall, Chu Yang overheard Hermione's plan to borrow books from the library that day.

After the meal, he didn't go to class but went straight to the library, where he inserted his fabricated book alongside the one Hermione planned to borrow.

The cover title read, "Things You Don't Know About Hogwarts' Hidden History."

Given what Chu Yang knew about Hermione, he was sure the title would spark her curiosity, and the content inside would guide her to the Room of Requirement.

Chu Yang wasn't worried that anyone else would find the book before Hermione, since no student at Hogwarts arrived earlier at the library than her—except for Chu Yang himself.

However, lately, Chu Yang had been too busy sorting through knowledge from the Naruto and Marvel worlds to visit the library as often, making Hermione the undisputed champion in this regard.

After placing the fake book, Chu Yang returned to class as usual.

Later, after class, he quietly followed Hermione to the library. Sure enough, under his watchful gaze, Hermione picked up the fake book titled "Things You Don't Know About Hogwarts' Hidden History."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, brimming with excitement, as if she had discovered something incredible.

Thud!

Hermione, engrossed in her own world, walked right into Chu Yang's chest.

"What's gotten you so happy? You're not even watching where you're going!" Chu Yang pretended to complain.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Hermione, her eyes sparkling, quickly apologized before hurrying off to find a quiet corner where she could furtively peek into the book.

Seeing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but chuckle softly before leaving.

That night, under the cover of darkness, Chu Yang sneaked out of Hogwarts and made his way to the Forbidden Forest, where he Apparated to Knockturn Alley.

Regarding the three Unforgivable Curses, Chu Yang figured that if he asked Professor Flitwick, he would probably teach him.

But afterward, Flitwick would likely report it to Dumbledore.

The very thought annoyed Chu Yang. Instead, it seemed more practical to capture a dark wizard from Knockturn Alley and learn the curses from them.

After all, these curses were standard for dark wizards, and it was rare to find one who didn't know them.

After a night of hunting, Chu Yang captured 15 dark wizards and killed 10 of them, finally gathering all the spells and casting details.

Back at school, just as Chu Yang was preparing for class, Hermione appeared mysteriously at his side, whispering, "I've discovered something incredible. Tonight, we're going with Harry to investigate. Do you want to join?"

"Thank you for the invitation, Hermione," Chu Yang said helplessly, "but I'm a bit busy lately..."

Hermione felt a bit regretful, but she quickly cheered up and said, "We are looking for a place like a secret base. If it's confirmed to exist, I'll take you there when you have time."

Chu Yang smiled, "I'm looking forward to it. I wish you all the best."

Hermione nodded, beaming with joy, and hopped away.

The next night, the trio began their nighttime adventure, searching for the Room of Requirement.

Chu Yang activated his Observation Haki and quietly followed them until he saw them enter the Room of Requirement.

Once they successfully entered, Chu Yang left. Now that they'd found the Room of Requirement, it was only a matter of time before they discovered Ravenclaw's diadem and the information book Chu Yang had meticulously prepared.

From here on out, everything was left to time.

...

Marvel Universe.

Chu Yang's recent life was fairly routine: attending university classes during the day and assisting in Tony's lab at night.

At this point, J.A.R.V.I.S. wasn't advanced enough to be a competent assistant.

Additionally, Chu Yang could help test the durability of Tony's suits anytime, anywhere.

Tony believed that any suit Chu Yang could destroy wasn't a good suit. Lately, Tony had started incorporating aerospace materials into the suits.

One odd thing, though, was that recently, whenever Tony changed the energy rods in his chest reactor, he always made sure no one was around. During those times, neither Chu Yang nor Pepper were allowed in his lab.

Pepper was clueless, but Chu Yang knew that Tony's strange behavior was due to palladium poisoning, with the toxin continuously eroding his body.

Even with injections, it could only alleviate the symptoms but not cure him—unless Tony replaced the palladium with a new element.

The solution to the problem lay in the videos left by Tony's father, Howard, but Tony was reluctant to watch them fully.

This was a knot in Tony's heart that Chu Yang couldn't untangle.

Since Tony was always locked away in his lab researching the Iron Man suits, he was neglecting his duties as CEO of Stark Industries.

Every day, Pepper had to deal with mountains of paperwork under the title of "assistant."

It was a huge, cumbersome workload.

When Pepper approached Tony again, asking him to resume his CEO duties, Tony impatiently handed the role to her.

"From today onwards, you're the CEO of Stark Industries!"

Tony grabbed Pepper by the shoulders and solemnly declared.

However, both Chu Yang and Pepper saw the dismissiveness flash in Tony's eyes.

Pepper, realizing that things couldn't go on like this, reluctantly agreed for the sake of the company and Tony.

A few days later, Pepper, with her new secretary in tow, approached Tony to have him sign the crucial papers for the CEO transition.

Her new secretary walked with a seductive grace, her stunning figure nearly captivating Tony entirely.

"Hello, Mr. Stark. My name is Natasha Romanoff."

After finishing his classes for the day, Chu Yang, as usual, went to Tony's house, ready to assist him.

At the entrance, he ran into Pepper and her new secretary.
