Stepping back twice to look at the metacontinuity of the SI Gods, here's my theory, then, on the relation of the two worlds - the original difference that made them seperate universes was somewhere in the past, and the effect was the difference in the Haruno clan - whether having more combat utility in the bloodline limnt kept them active or whether continuing as active ninja refined the bloodline is open to question, but not really relevant. So, at some point, the Good Guys decide to drop in your avatar, and the Bad Guys counter with Hell Sakura - now a Neshan is born in all close enough realites to count, and your avatar pops in ex nihilo at age five, this being covered by the base SI 'points' and the total Hero Allowance can be spread through all of the places a Neshan popped up. The Bad Guys popped in a verison of someone who already exists, so there's no second Sakura growing up older and eviler in TXY or anywhere else - well, not unless Evil Sakura was one fo the opriginal differences - and while the could have spent Villain Points anywhere in those same Neshan-group universes, they only put a few here and there, to influence a few decisions prerhaps, but mostly concentrated on making Hell Sakura scary and psycho and evil and ignoring, as one of the readers noted, the Figuring Shit Out category a little more than they should. So, we have native Neshan with a vaguely similar way of thinking and the same position, bad guys whose decisions end up making things a little tougher now and then, and some Good Guy changes that have so far resulted in at least one person born who wouldn't have been, and several poeple more ending up in places they wouldn't have been (the new characters for the Chuunin Exam) - and that's just on screen.
Not that any of this matters for either story, but I like to keep these sorts of things tidy in my mind - kami know there's plenty else untidy in there.

ETA: re Southern Hemisphere/climate: Had to rethink things a little bit, and I'll need to switch some north/south descriptors, but I don't think it'll be any particular problem - it actually makes more sense for apples and strong liquor to come from the colder part of the country, I just need a festival name - instead of being a 'spring break in Miami' deal, Kirika (the city on the peninsula where they're going to look for Jiraya) is famous for being the place for a certain festival, which will need a name - it's held after the planting in the dry season, in honor of various agricultural kami in hopes of their granting a good growing season and eventual bountiful harvest - sort a of 'Mardi Gras in New Orleans' thing. Still the most logical place to find a certain old pervert who makes a show of irresponsibility.That which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
