Kaguya's Ruins!

When Sasuke reached the bottom of the Limestone Cave and saw the scene before him, he was stunned.

He experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War and the Infinite Tsukuyomi unleashed by Madara Uchiha.

During the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Madara Uchiha used the Deep Forest Emergence to spread Wood Release across the globe, and then the Vines of the Giant Tree bound all those caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi into human cocoons...

At this moment, right in front of Sasuke, at the Root of the Giant Tree, there was a row of human cocoons!

In addition, the entire space was filled with a strong stench of decay, like stinky tofu mixed with fermented bean curd and then topped with a moldy corpse!

Even with Sasuke will, the smell almost made him ejaculate...

"These people's calluses are all rotten..."

Sasuke cleaved open a cocoon with a single slash, revealing rotting white flesh within. He gagged as he spoke...

"Roar--!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar roar came from behind him!

Sasuke turned around, his expression frozen:!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

He was initially curious how White Zetsu could instantly eliminate a Jonin squad, but now he finally understood why...

There's more than one White Zetsu!

At this moment, there were still hundreds of them in front of Sasuke!!

These White Zetsu, with bloodshot eyes and crazed expressions, launched a swift attack upon seeing Sasuke, a living person, enter!

Sasuke wasn't one to be trifled with either, instantly summoning his Complete Form Susanoo!

"Shuashua--!"

The colossal purple Warrior God wielded its twin swords, slicing through the White Zetsu with ease!

Of course, Sasuke was careful in the end and left one alive.

I plan to bring it back to the village so that Shinki can study it carefully!

After finishing these tasks, Sasuke looked around, a puzzled expression on his face. "During the Fourth Shinobi World War, all the trees created by Madara's Divine Deep Forest Emergence should have been Shinki into Wooden Buddhas. How come there are still some left here...?"

"This is very strange; we must report this to Shinki immediately..."

After speaking, Sasuke seemed to sense something, Rinnegan trembled slightly...

The Hokage's Office.

Shinki is reviewing the documents in his hands.

"Oh~ I didn't expect Shino to do so well at the Ninja Academy."

Shikamaru nodded upon hearing this. "Shino is a meticulous person; he might become a good teacher in the future."

Hearing this, Shinki smiled and nodded, "I hope so. Maybe I'll even become your child's homeroom teacher in the future. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru blushed and said, "What are you saying...?"

Shinki opened his mouth, about to continue speaking, when he saw a purple shadow appear outside the window!

"Sasuke's Susanoo returned pretty quickly. (๑ت๑)"

Shikamaru: "Look, isn't Sasuke carrying something in his hand?! (≖╻≖;)"

Shinki: "Go up and meet him!"

Outside the Hokage's Office.

After flying over the Office, Sasuke dispelled his Susanoo armor and landed on the roof of the Office carrying the White Zetsu.

At the same time, Shinki and Shikamaru went up to the rooftop to greet Sasuke.

After confirming that Sasuke was unharmed, Shinki's gaze fell on the White Zetsu that Sasuke was carrying, and he asked, "White Zetsu? Where did you get this thing?"

Sasuke: "It's the culprit Mine Cave Disappearance Case. Let me have a drink of water first, then I'll tell you the details..."

A few minutes later, Sasuke explained what he had seen and heard along the way.

At this moment, opposite Sasuke, Shinki rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, "I've already retrieved all the Wood Release from the Fourth Shinobi World War... so those cocoons must have been created even earlier..."

Shikamaru speculated, "It might have been made by Obito. Didn't he cultivate White Zetsu Army? Maybe these were leftovers?"

Sasuke continued, "There's one more thing. My Rinnegan sensed some unusual spatial fluctuations there. It seems like that place leads to some Alternate Dimension. I tried to communicate with it using the Rinnegan, but I failed. But if I just give myself a little more time..."

Shinki: "Let's go take a look together, this is a very important matter..."

Sasuke nodded. "I'll lead the way..."

Shinki: "Didn't you leave my Flying Thunder God Kunai there?"

Sasuke pouted. "Why should I carry your Flying Thunder God Kunai with me when I go out on a mission? ∑(✘Д✘๑)"

Shinki: "Alright, next time there's an important location like this, remember to throw one, otherwise it'll take too much time to travel."

After saying that, Shinki placed his hands on Sasuke and Shikamaru!

"Whoa!!"

A crimson Chakra robe instantly enveloped Sasuke and Shikamaru's bodies!!

Shikamaru looked curious. "What are we going to do...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shinki beside him solemnly formed a hand seal...

A few seconds later, it was printed!

Shinki uttered a soft shout, "Heavenly Transfer Technique!!"

"Whoosh--!"

The three of them instantly transformed into streaks of light!!

Outside the Mine Cave.

Thanks to the power of the celestial portal, the three arrived at this location instantly at the speed of light!

Shikamaru and Sasuke hadn't recovered from the shock yet: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

Sasuke: "Isn't the Heavenly Transfer Technique only supposed to deliver objects...?"

Shikamaru: "How strange. Although it only lasted less than a second, it felt like my body was torn apart and then reassembled during that time...눈_눈"

Shinki: "You guessed right. Normal human bodies aren't strong enough; they'd be twisted into pieces under the Heavenly Transfer Technique. So I used my Chakra to protect you, stimulating your body's cells to divide and allowing your injuries to heal quickly... It's a bit like Tsunade's Creation Rebirth. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Shikamaru: "Wait, the Fifth Hokage's Creation Rebirth... won't that shorten his lifespan?"

Shinki: "Don't worry about that, just focus on how fast it is. (ꈍᴗꈍ)"

Shikamaru: "..."

After a brief chat, in order not to waste any time, the three of them ventured deeper into the cave and soon reached Limestone Cave bottom!

While sensing the Chakra within the Wood Release, Shinki observed the White Zetsu inside the cocoon and finally concluded, "These White Zetsu were created a very long time ago..."

"After a long time, the Chakra needed to maintain Wood Release was depleted, and these cocoons, lacking nourishment, began to rot... Those White Zetsu you killed, Sasuke, were among the few survivors."

Upon hearing Shinki's words, Sasuke had a sudden flash of inspiration, as if he had just realized something! ∑(°Д°)

Just as he was about to give his answer, Shikamaru looked at Shinki and asked, "Shinki, does that mean you've already guessed the answer?"

Shinki nodded. "Kaguya also used Infinite Tsukuyomi, so these White Zetsu might have been created by her!"

Sasuke to the side, instantly deflated.

Missed the chance to show off!

Shikamaru: "So this is Ruins left behind by Kaguya. Σ( ° △ °|||)"

Shinki: "Should."

After saying that, Shinki looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, where is the location of the spatial fluctuation you mentioned?"

Sasuke gestured towards the back of the Shinki: "It's not far behind you, but the fluctuations are very weak..."

Upon hearing this, Shinki turned his head, and his left eye instantly became as dazzling as the starry sky!
