Crossing Time
By the time Shinki and his group arrived underground, it seemed to be too late.
The missing-nin Sunagakure Mukade was standing on a strangely shaped Stone Platform, his face filled with madness!
The Stone Platform was semi-circular, covered with strange Curse Mark, presumably sealing something extraordinary within!
Shinki frowned as he looked at the Curse Mark on the Stone Platform, finding it very familiar!
Not far away, Mukade saw a group of Ninjas wearing Konoha Forehead Protector approaching and arrogantly said, "You must be Konoha Ninjas sent by Sunagakure for support, too bad you're too late! ( ´▽` )"
"I will now remove the Sealing Blade from this Ruins and absorb the power of the dragon Ryūmyaku of the ancient city of Rōran!"
"At that time, I will possess the power to unify the Five Great Nations!"
As Mukade spoke, he reached out his rough hands toward the Sealing Kunai stuck in the Stone Platform.
Suddenly, the Shinki, not far from the Mukade, focused its gaze!
The Kunai stuck in the center of the Stone Platform 'Cursed Seal Kunai I had specially made...
(≖╻≖;)
Even the Flying Thunder God Tree-Shaped Curse Mark on it is exactly the same!
Despite being filled with doubts, Shinki decided to give it a try!
"Whoosh!"
Shinki activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly teleporting and grasping the Kunai!
Unfortunately, just before Shinki made his move, Mukade pulled the Kunai out of the sealing platform!
"Boom--!"
In that instant, the earth trembled!!
Beside the sealing platform, the earth and rocks collapsed!
The torrent of Chakra condensed into a purple glow, surging upwards from the earth and transforming into a pillar of light reaching towards the heavens!
Under this dazzling light, Shinki's consciousness began to waver.
He now realized that the Curse Mark engraved on the Stone Platform was Space-Time Sealing!
Seeing this, Yamato and Naruto's group looked terrified.
ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!
Upon seeing the Shinki in trouble, the excited Naruto didn't hesitate and charged forward!
Yamato's hand turned to wood, quickly restraining Naruto's charging body. "Naruto! Calm down!"
Naruto roared, "The Shinki's body has disappeared! How can I stand idly by!"
Sai nearby, calmly said, "If even Shinki can't handle this, what's the difference between you going and throwing your life away? ←_←"
Sai's words were harsh, but they were the truth.
Naruto, who had traveled all over the country with Shinki for many years, knew Shinki's strength well and gradually calmed down.
"Alright then, let's wait for him..."
A faint singing voice drifted into my ears, seemingly near yet far, but I could tell it was a girl, and her voice was quite beautiful...
As the song played, Shinki shook his drowsy head and slowly opened his eyes...
Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the cave ceiling, shining directly onto the face of the Shinki inside...
The singing stopped abruptly, and the girl stared in horror at the figure that slowly rose up in front of her.
"Who are you? Why are you here? There was no one here just now."
"You are a thorn..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, her gaze met that of the Shinki.
In an instant, she was captivated!
The boy's eyes were unbelievably beautiful, like the rising sun shining on the sea—warm, calm, and captivating!
Shinki looked at the girl who had suddenly frozen in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked, "You are...?"
"Sara," the girl replied, her voice melodious.
Where am I?
Shinki rubbed his head, asking somewhat uncertainly.
His memory was still stuck on the moment he Chakra.
Rōran.
The girl looked at the boy in front of her with a puzzled expression.
He didn't even know where he was, yet he dared to sleep here.
Upon hearing the girl utter those two words, Shinki felt as if he had been struck by lightning:∑(✘Д✘๑)
Rōran?!
Whether it's the Great Celestial Empire where he originally lived or the current Shinobi World, Rōran has already disappeared!
"I'm serious." Shinki's expression turned serious.
The girl's expression was equally serious. "This is indeed Rōran, and I am its queen. Don't I know that? (ー_ー)!!"
"Gurgle~"
Shinki swallowed hard, a bold guess forming in his mind.
Could it be that the broken Space-Time Sealing transported him back decades, or even centuries?!
The defiant Shinki looked up and leaped into the crevice of the cave above!
After jumping out of the cave, Shinki saw a highly developed city full of gray-yellow High Towers!
Based on the ground layout and some architectural styles, it can be seen that there are indeed traces of the ruins of Rōran City here.
Once this was confirmed, Shinki's expression changed drastically: (꒪⌓꒪)
I've been transported to this era out of nowhere; is there no going back?!
Although he knows a little about Space-Time Ninjutsu, he'll probably need to train for several more years to reach the point where he can travel through time at will...
The girl looked up at the Shinki above and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Fine."
Shinki tried his best to appear as calm as possible.
If we study Space-Time Ninjutsu for another two years, we'll eventually find a way back.
Immediately after answering the girl's question, a sense of unease arose in Shinki's heart!
Not far away, a strangely shaped Puppet Golem appeared!!
The puppet's body floated in the air, and its arms had a claw-like structure, with the middle of the claws being hollow, resembling the muzzle of a cannon!
The moment the puppet was discovered in the Shinki, it raised its arms, and purple Chakra gathered on the muzzle!
"Boom!!"
A dazzling purple beam of light shot straight towards the location of the Shinki!
"Whoosh!!"
Shinki reacted swiftly, dodging to the side and rapidly forming a hand seal with one hand!
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
After shouting, Shinki unleashed the Wind Release Chakra had stored in his chest, and an invisible, enormous wind blade shot towards the Puppet Golem!
"Call!"
"Crack!"
Before the Shinki Wind Blade, the burly Puppet Golem was no different from clay, and was instantly split in two!
"This puppet..."
After subduing the Puppet Golem, Shinki wanted to go forward and take a closer look.
Just then, a loud "whoosh!" sound rang out from the sky!
Shinki looked up and found dozens more strange puppets appearing above him!
Years of combat experience allowed Shinki to react quickly, dodging while rapidly forming hand seals with one hand!
"Shuashua--"
Fire Style:
Before the name of the escape technique could be uttered, several figures darted out from beside Shinki!
While marveling at how quickly these puppet reinforcements arrived, Shinki dodged to the side, intending to unleash Fire Style on the newcomers!
However, upon seeing these people's attire, Shinki swallowed back the Fire Style Chakra that had been building up in his throat!
Because all of these people were dressed as Konoha Ninjas!
"Uncle Chōza?"
Shinki looked at one of the Ninjas in disbelief.
This man was none other than Choji Akimichi's father, Akimichi Chōza!
The children I see now are so much younger than I saw before!
Were they reinforcements from the village?
Still...
