Naruto: I Reign Supreme with Templates Across the Multiverse.

After traveling across the world, Zenkichi found himself standing in the middle of a vast desert.

Using his refined Observation Haki, he scanned the barren terrain until he sensed a concentration of human activity nearby. With measured steps, he walked toward the source.

Eventually, he arrived at a hidden settlement nestled within a deep trench. This wasn't a civilian village—it was a heavily armed militant base. The trench was lined with crude tents, reinforced cave dwellings, and stockpiles of weaponry, including missile launchers.

"Who's there?!"

The armed guards spotted Zenkichi and immediately opened fire. Bullets tore through the air toward him.

"Shinra Tensei."

Zenkichi stood still, eyes calm. A surge of invisible repulsive force erupted from his body. The bullets halted mid-air, frozen in place.

"Return."

With a quiet command, the suspended bullets shot back at blinding speed, piercing through the attackers. Bloody holes appeared in their bodies as they dropped without resistance.

"Enemy sighted! Open fire!"

More militants emerged from their tents, aiming rifles and shouting orders. Zenkichi stepped forward, a faint smirk curling on his lips.

"I know where I am now... so let's end this."

He slowly raised his right fist. A pale white halo shimmered around it.

Air Shock.

With a single punch, the air before him fractured like glass, shattering into a spiderweb of cracks. A massive shockwave blasted forth. The earth trembled as tents were ripped apart, debris flying, and militants were swept off their feet like ragdolls in a storm.

Their gunfire was useless. The shockwaves shattered bullets mid-flight, reducing all resistance to dust.

From a distance, a figure in exoskeleton armor approached the wreckage, surveying the devastation with wary eyes.

"An earthquake?" the man muttered.

Zenkichi turned and smiled. "Tony Stark. I didn't expect to meet you like this."

Tony blinked, then narrowed his eyes. "You did all this?"

Zenkichi nodded lazily. "I did. Consider yourself rescued. Think you owe me one?"

Tony looked around at the wreckage and, without hesitation, shrugged. "No problem. You saved me. Name it—I'm in your debt."

Knowing he was dealing with someone beyond ordinary, Tony wasn't about to test his luck. In fact, he was more interested in teaming up.

"Excellent," Zenkichi replied. "Then let's get out of here."

As he turned to leave, Tony stopped him. "Wait! My friend Yinsen—he's still here. We take him too."

Zenkichi activated his Observation Haki again, easily pinpointing Yinsen's presence.

Unlike in the original story, Yinsen had not sacrificed himself. Zenkichi's timely arrival meant he survived.

Moments later, Zenkichi took both Tony and Yinsen into his arms. Surrounded by an invisible spiritual pressure, he soared into the sky and vanished in a flash of light.

Within seconds, they reappeared above New York City.

Tony looked out at the familiar skyline, his voice cracking. "God... I never thought I'd see this place again."

"We came from the Middle East to New York in under a minute?" Yinsen was stunned, his scientific mind in disbelief. "That's—utterly impossible!"

Tony grinned. "He's not normal, that's for sure."

Once they landed, Tony clapped Zenkichi on the back. "Now that you're here, you've got to see my place. Come on!"

Back at Stark Tower, Tony personally hosted Zenkichi and Yinsen. As the world's richest, his hospitality was unparalleled.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies were in shock.

Tony Stark had vanished without a trace. All their efforts to track him had failed—until now, when he mysteriously reappeared in New York.

Reporters and officials flooded him with questions.

"How did you escape?"

Tony waved them off. "I have my own methods. No comment."

He had no intention of explaining the miracle that was Zenkichi. In his eyes, the government wasn't worth trusting.

Inside his private lab, Tony returned to work on a new type of armor.

His traumatic experience in captivity changed him. He now realized that personal power was more important than ever. But lacking the ability to enhance his own body, Tony turned to his true talent—technology.

He began developing the first version of his Iron Man armor.

Zenkichi stepped into the lab. "Your body's being poisoned by palladium. That Arc Reactor in your chest needs an upgrade."

Tony froze. "Palladium poisoning?"

He rushed to grab his scanner, pricked his finger, and let the machine run diagnostics.

Moments later, JARVIS gave the results—Tony's condition was critical.

Tony stared at the results, frustrated. "So I can't use the suit anymore?"

Zenkichi crossed his arms. "Not necessarily. Just take care of yourself. There are better solutions."
