Return

Whoosh--!

Sakura Haruno casually threw a few ice darts, which served as Obito's answer.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Sakura said coldly.

Do you think we're comrades fighting side by side?

The reason she and Obito were able to coexist peacefully for a period of time, and even work together with a certain tacit understanding to deal with the attacking Uchiha clan, was not because they had any comradeship.

It's simply that, in a short period of time, Obito couldn't defeat her, and she couldn't do anything about Obito's Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Moreover, both sides share a common goal: to continue the extermination of their race...

That's why we didn't continue fighting.

Moreover... after the battle just now, the energy within the Yin Seal, stimulated by the Chakra, began to stir.

It seems to be echoing something.

Whenever that pulling sensation comes, that energy becomes particularly active!

It was like a block of ice before, cold and rigid; then, the activity of Chakra melted it, gradually turning it into a puddle of water, and whenever the original timeline pulled at it, it stirred up waves of that energy, even a fountain!

This energy must be the energy that helped her travel through time and space, right?

If she didn't have this energy, this time travel would be a one-way ticket. She would be stuck in this space-time forever, waiting for the pulling force to disappear, and she would never be able to return to her original world!

Did she follow the same process when she transmigrated into the Hokage world?

That said, this era also has the Ancient Kingdom of Roran. If there were a ninja skilled in Sealing Jutsu in this world who could mobilize the energy there, they might be able to easily and precisely send her back to her original timeline...

Judging from the rate at which that frozen energy melts.

She has at most a few minutes left.

"I have no interest in getting entangled with you," she said, seeing the hostile look in Obito's eyes. "I'm leaving soon."

Obito and Itachi exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised to find that the girl's hand seemed to be emitting a faint glow.

"Before I leave, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

"Uchiha Itachi, did you annihilate the Uchiha Clan under orders, were you threatened, or did you make the decision yourself?"

The white light seemed to have become brighter.

Itachi calmly looked at Sakura Haruno and answered her question, "It was Danzo's order."

Judging from his indifferent expression, Sakura couldn't tell whether his answer was true or false.

Was it Danzo's order? That's certainly his style.

What about the Third Hokage? And Itachi himself?

She lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

Obito frowned and said, "With your strength, aren't you qualified to know these things? Since the Third Hokage sent you here, shouldn't he have told you everything? Don't delay any longer!"

The fluorescent light emanating from the girl seemed to be increasing, and even the well-informed man couldn't recognize what kind of Ninjutsu it was.

This feeling of being out of control hadn't crossed his mind in a long time!

Accidents should be eliminated.

He certainly didn't want his plans to be suddenly interrupted.

Although I couldn't sense any fluctuations in her Chakra, another energy was becoming active.

What on earth is this person doing?!

Obito's vigilance grew stronger, and he became increasingly suspicious that she was deliberately stalling for time to complete the Secret Technique.

He knew: whatever the enemy wanted to do, he had to prevent her from doing it.

Obito stepped forward without hesitation.

Spacetime distorted, Masked Man suddenly appeared behind the girl!

The old tricks, of course, won't work on Sakura Haruno anymore.

She remained on edge the entire time; the moment the masked man disappeared, she vanished from the same spot as him!

Even at his fastest speed, Obito only managed to touch a layer of slippery ice.

His gaze sharpened; his reaction was too quick... This tactic was clearly no longer effective against her!

He formed hand Hand Seals, intending to unleash Wood Release: Hell on Earth, but then stopped midway.

To maintain secrecy during the operation, we cannot use Ninjutsu that causes too much disturbance!

In the previous and recent rounds of clashes, both sides have tacitly reduced the scale of the battle.

Only a few clever tactics are used.

Tricky!

Furthermore, the woman had Sealing Jutsu technique on her forehead that strongly indicated Chakra... Could it be Tsunade's Yin Seal?

Is she Tsunade's person?

If it's the Yin Seal, then rashly trying to out-compete her in terms of Chakra reserves or large-scale Ninjutsu would probably lead to an endless battle!

In that case, his plan will fall through again...

What to do?

After switching positions, the two decided not to continue fighting for the time being.

Obito glanced at Itachi, who was standing aside watching, but didn't tell him to join the battle.

Itachi most likely won't obey this order and fight the Hokage's people.

Sakura Haruno glanced at Itachi and asked, "Then, Uchiha Itachi, why did you keep your younger brother alive?"

The light emanating from her grew brighter and brighter, and the mysterious energy stored in the Yin Seal melted faster and became more and more active, flowing throughout her body and gradually enveloping her.

Sakura knew that her time to stay was counting down in seconds.

She had no desire to continue fighting; she only wanted to know the answer.

Sakura asked eagerly, but Itachi remained silent and did not answer her question.

"How could you ask such a stupid question..." Obito, who had been staring intently at Sakura Haruno, suddenly said, "That's because Itachi was willing to commit the heinous act of annihilating his clan just to protect his younger brother's life and future!"

The battle hadn't interrupted the white light emanating from Sakura, Obito watched as it grew increasingly intense; the faint energy emanating from her body also gradually became clearer!

Is that the energy of Space-Time Ninjutsu?

He quickly realized it.

Judging from the undisguised urgency on her face... this woman must be being teleported somewhere; this is her way of leaving!

The undisguised energy fluctuations revealed the mystery of the white light emanating from the woman, Obito breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that she wasn't planning anything unexpected.

Only--

"Before I leave, there's one last thing..."

Sakura Haruno spoke coldly before the white light completely enveloped her.

She suddenly Hand Seals, "Water Release: Wind Blade Torrent".

"Before leaving, are you going to launch one last attack?" Obito coldly, his Sharingan fixed on the girl.

"A pointless act!"

Whoosh— Sakura Haruno Body Flicker Technique appeared behind Obito, slashing her ice sword horizontally towards the back of his head.

The ice sword slashed through the center of Obito's hollow brain, who turned around and swiftly raised his left hand.

Snap! The ice sword passed right past Obito's body, missing its target.

Obito patted Sakura's shoulder.

In an instant, four Ninjutsu were unleashed on the battlefield within a fraction of a second:

Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.

--Sakura Haruno disappeared from the spot!

Mangekyō Sharingan Secret Technique: Kamui.

Obito's Secret Technique missed; he only inhaled air!

Water Release: Wind Blade Torrent.

--Sakura Haruno suddenly appeared on another block of ice. Without even trying to maintain her balance, she shot out a silvery-white stream of water that swept across Obito's body!

Mangekyō Sharingan Secret Technique: Intangibility.

The moment he realized he was being attacked, Obito turned his body into intangible form!

Clatter

Obito's arm fell to the ground, a silvery-white line of water flowing through his body. Then, a sudden flash of white light illuminated the area, and the water line disappeared.

The blinding white light flashed for less than a second before abruptly stopping.

Looking over there, after the white light disappeared, the girl's figure had vanished without a trace.

Clatter

Another world. Deep within the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran.

A white light appeared and then disappeared, and Sakura Haruno fell to the ground.

It was still the same grand hall of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran, and the night was still pitch black.

Are you back?

Sakura quickly walked out of the hall.

Outside, the night was deep and still.

A full moon hangs high in the sky, with a few stars embedded in the night sky like shining jewels.

All around were familiar, desolate ruins, not the Uchiha stronghold that flowed with blood and sin.

It seems they've returned.

That pulling sensation has completely disappeared...

Sakura Haruno found it a little unbelievable.

Her heart was pounding. Just moments ago she was engaged in a fierce battle, and now she was in a safe place; this was a feeling she had never experienced before.

We returned from the bloody night of genocide to a quiet and peaceful night of camping in the wild.

Sakura took a deep breath.

She reviewed the events of this time travel, slowly replaying them from the very last moment.

What exactly did that Wind Blade Torrent cut into...?

The white light obscured her vision, and Sakura couldn't see her spoils.

Should we cut off his hand, or kill him outright?

Sakura didn't think he would die so easily; that intangible Ninjutsu, which could be activated at an extremely fast speed, was probably not something that could be dealt with so easily.

The person who claims to be Madara Uchiha...

She calmed herself down and sorted out her thoughts.

This time, she unexpectedly traveled back in time and saw so much...

The official account states that Uchiha Itachi single-handedly annihilated the Uchiha Clan, but in reality, there was someone else with the Mangekyō Sharingan assisting him.

Uchiha Itachi wasn't the psychologically disturbed person Sakura imagined.

He was calm and had normal logic.

Furthermore, the official reason Sasuke didn't die is that he always trained at school after school and came home late; some time ago, he saw another method in the confidential documents, and then Obito used a similar wording.

That's terrifying.

Itachi didn't kill Sasuke because he deeply loved Sasuke...

This is completely different from Sasuke's previous view of Itachi.

The most crucial one is that person named Madara Uchiha.

He shouldn't be Madara, right? Madara Uchiha was the kind of person who could crush Kakuzu with a single finger, but Sakura didn't sense that much strength from that person... although he was terrifyingly strong nonetheless.

In short, there are too many mysteries surrounding him...

There were other things too... a whole host of things suddenly came to mind.

Carrying countless mysteries, Sakura Haruno found a place to settle herself in the ruins.

After checking his body again, he was still perfectly fine and there was nothing wrong with him, except for a slight discomfort after using the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals Stage Three.

Within the Yin Seal, the spacetime energy has vanished, seemingly having been used up on this return journey.

Perhaps next time I can try to travel through time and space again to explore its secrets.

But before that... the first thing she needs to do is return to Konoha and have her master give her a thorough medical check-up.

This is no joke!
