Part 1: So, to start, I want to draw attention to the verbiage. The first time Koji refers to “
What he saw”, he calls them “
Future Realities”. Later, he also characterizes them as “
Future Possibilities”, but to me this is striking and shows there is “
substance” here imo. In my reading of the Context presented, Koji views these sights as “
Possible Future Realities”, which is more substantial than just simple “
Possibilities”.
That may sound like semantics but that’s just my view. I support it in the next part.
Part 2: Going further about the “
Future Possible Realities”, Koji states: “
This may sound obvious to you, but our future isn’t simply one straight path. Many narratives get snuffed out based on which branch of each multi-forked crossroad is taken.”
I bolded the most important parts of his statement here. While Koji doesn’t say these are “
Branched Timelines” verbatim, what he said describes “
Branched Timelines” precisely. He then goes on to explain that these “
Future Possible Realities” aren’t just
instances but have drown out futures themselves.
Taking in the context and implications, these “
Future Possible Realities” are physically branched off the main timeline, existing simultaneously
UNTIL a path is selected, wherein the other paths are then “
Snuffed Out” (Which I take to mean erased).
Part 3: Minus the Erasure of those separate timelines, this falls 99% into the MWI as explained by
Nat Geo (Scroll down to, “What are some other ideas?”), where I get my understanding of it from.
Thus, the Naruto Verse is a Multiverse, but it is in a constant cycle of Infinite Creation & Infinite Erasure.
