  Half a year ter…

  "Where am I?"

  "Did I just transmigrate again?"

  "How many will I transmigrate? Dammit!"

  One moment, The New Renzo was sitting in css, and the next, he found himself in a strange pce.

  Emerging from a pitch-bck corridor, he stepped into an unusual space. At its center was a long table with thirty-six seats.

  "Yo! Another newbie, huh? Welcome!"

  A boy wearing a green Konoha Jōnin vest and a forehead protector stepped out from another passage.

  "Cospy? Or are you really from the Uchiha Cn in the Naruto world?"

  Renzo studied his outfit carefully, finally spotting the iconic fan symbol of the Uchiha cn on his colr. He hesitantly asked.

  "Haha! No need for questions! Just give me a hand, and you'll understand everything. The truth is crazier than you think!"

  At that moment, another figure stepped out from a different passage, ughing heartily. This one looked bigger and taller, wearing an outfit from the One Piece world.

  Half a year had passed, and Pirate Renzo had grown significantly. His height had shot up, now standing at 1.7 meters despite being only eleven. If he kept growing at this rate, he might surpass two meters! Though, in the Pirate world, that wasn't anything unusual.

  Thankfully, the shared power and physique among them didn't cause drastic physical changes. Otherwise, the Renzo group would have turned into a bunch of towering giants.

  "Huh?"

  Newbie Renzo was confused. "Give you a hand? And who exactly are you?"

  "I am Swordsman Renzo!"

  Before Pirate Renzo could respond, another figure in white robes stepped out of another passage, his demeanor exuding arrogance.

  "Pirate Renzo!"

  "Uchiha Renzo!"

  The two also introduced themselves.

  Soon, more figures arrived, each stating their name.

  "Eevee Renzo!"

  "Demon Syer Renzo!"

  Then, Eevee Renzo hopped onto the table, curiously eyeing the newcomer. "So, which Renzo are you? What world did you nd in?"

  Uchiha Renzo stroked his chin. "Judging by the uniform, it's a modern world! And a school uniform at that… Fujimi Academy? That name sounds familiar. Also, his power level seems average—just a regur human? Could he be from a slice-of-life world?"

  "Uh…"

  Everyone suddenly looked at the newcomer with a disappointed expression.

  Another weakling? Great.

  They immediately lost interest and turned away, leaving him behind as they started their own discussion.

  "Did you guys notice? When we entered the consciousness space just now, I heard a voice telling me we can now enter and exit freely at any time!"

  Eevee Renzo waved a paw excitedly. "That's huge!"

  "Yeah," Uchiha Renzo nodded. "Looks like reaching six members triggered an upgrade! Also, newcomers won't forcibly drag us in anymore."

  "That's a relief! I was in the middle of a fight just now. Getting yanked in like that was annoying!"

  Thankfully, after the st gathering, he, Uchiha Renzo, had merged Swordsman Renzo's sword intent, plus the combined mental strength and physique of two other Renzos, along with a month of intense body training from Pirate Renzo.

  His pure taijutsu had reached elite jonin level, and his overall power was likely at quasi-Kage or even Kage level. He wasn't sure yet, as he hadn't fought a true Kage in a full-powered battle.

  "Agreed!" Demon Syer Renzo chimed in. "I had just finished cutting down a demon. Luckily, no matter how long we stay here, time outside only passes in an instant. Otherwise, this sudden pull could cause real problems!"

  "Oh?" Swordsman Renzo raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms as he looked at Demon Syer Renzo. "So, you can kill demons now? How many breathing techniques and sword styles have you collected? Have you become one of those 'Hashira' yet?"

  "What do you mean, 'can kill demons now'?" Demon Syer Renzo rolled his eyes. "After fusing with everyone's powers st time, I wouldn't say I can kill Muzan yet, but taking down a Lower Moon demon is easy. Let alone now, after six more months!"

  "Four months ago, during my first mission, I went to Mount Natagumo and killed Lower Rank Five, Rui. That's when I became the 'Cloud Hashira.'"

  "Wait, you're not the Water Hashira?" Uchiha Renzo asked. "Water Hashira should be vacant, right? As Urokodaki's disciple, wouldn't it make sense for you to inherit that title?"

  "Well…" Demon Syer Renzo shrugged. "Honestly, Sabito was the better fit. Under my guidance, his strength skyrocketed. The Water Hashira title is his now. Even Makomo and Giyu have grown strong, nearly reaching Hashira level themselves."

  "To accommodate me, Ubuyashiki Kagaya abolished the Nine Hashira limit and added a new title—the 'Cloud Hashira.'"

  "This means that in the future, when Makomo, Giyu, and others prove themselves, they too can become Hashira. Kagaya was pretty excited about it, saying that the Demon Syer Corps had never been so strong before and that he finally saw hope for ending the demon era."

  "Also… let's be honest—'Cloud Hashira' sounds way cooler than 'Water Hashira.' ...Water sounds weak, right???"

  "Hey!"

  "So… are you guys just going to keep ignoring me? ??"

  The newcomer finally spoke again, his tone ced with frustration.

  This group had completely abandoned him the moment they realized he was a "normal human."

  Too much!

  He didn't consider himself ordinary at all!

  Besides, with his intelligence, he had already figured out the truth from their introductions and conversations.

  "We're all the same person, aren't we?"

  Newbie Renzo adjusted his gsses, making a bold guess.

  "Oh?" Uchiha Renzo and the others turned to him in interest. "Not bad. You actually figured it out just from that?"

  Newbie Renzo: "So… what now?"

  (A/N: Guess the world of the newbie?)
