"Looks like I'm doing pretty well in this world."
Orochimaru looked at the Seventh's Orochimaru and smirked.
"Not bad, at least I don't have to be a punching bag." Orochimaru from the Seventh's world also had a smile on his face, but his words made Orochimaru's face darken.
"You want to too?"
Hagoromo, standing to the side, looked at Orochimaru from the Seventh's world and said softly.
How can you bully your own subordinates, even if you're the same person?
"Master." Sasuke appeared in Body Flicker Technique, and was taken aback when he saw that only Hagoromo and Orochimaru were there.
Hagoromo and Orochimaru landed in the same place, while Naruto and his two companions landed in another place.
"What's wrong?" Hagoromo looked at Sasuke and Tobirama.
???
Where is Naruto?
"I don't know, I thought I was with Master and the others," Sasuke, shaking his head.
Tobirama frowned as he stood by. Naruto was a candidate for the next Hokage, yet he was nowhere to be seen.
"Hagoromo, can you sense it?"
Tobirama looked at Hagoromo and noticed that he had already closed his eyes and was sensing things.
The Seventh Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hagoromo raised her hand, a ripple flashed, and then she chuckled, "It's nothing, but Naruto probably won't be here anytime soon."
"Can't get here? Where is this place? Let me contact them and see." The Seventh Naruto couldn't help but ask. This was his other self from another world; he couldn't let himself be left behind.
Although, I can't stay, I'm afraid it might cause some trouble.
"Don't worry, he fell in 33 years ago."
Hagoromo shook his head. If it weren't for the mark he had marked on Naruto, he really wouldn't have been able to sense it across the river of time.
33 years ago--
The Seventh, Naruto, was taken aback for a moment, then realized something.
"That's right, just the time you wanted." Hagoromo looked at Naruto was already 33 years old, and couldn't help but sigh. Why did this brat have such a troubled expression?
He reached out and vigorously ruffled the Seventh Naruto's hair.
"Hey kid, pull yourself together! You're Hokage now!"
The Seventh, Naruto, whose hair was being ruffled, was startled, his eyes welling up with tears. How long has it been?
It seems like no one has ruffled his hair like that since Jiraiya. Even Iruka-sensei, after becoming Hokage, rarely does so.
"It's good that everything's alright." Tobirama hearing Hagoromo's words and turned to look at the Seventh, Naruto was standing to the side.
"Seventh, find someone to take me to see those two traitors."
The Seventh Naruto, snapped out of his daze, wiped his eyes, and nodded to indicate that everything was alright.
An Anbu appeared to the side, bowed to Tobirama, and then led him away.
"Mr. Hagoromo..."
The Seventh, Naruto, opened his mouth, thinking about how to address Hagoromo, but in the end, he addressed her in the most polite way.
"Hmm, where's the core?"
Hagoromo glanced at the layout of the Hokage's Office. Compared to her own world, the office in this world remained exactly the same.
Snap--
Footsteps sounded, and Guoxin appeared at the office door. Her gaze lingered on Hagoromo, and she froze.
In fact, the existence of the Hagoromo was like a terrifying thing in his eyes; just the sight of it was enough to make him wary.
"Then, let's have a good chat." Hagoromo looked at Kashin Koji with a smile.
--
"Where... am I?"
Naruto was taken aback, looking around, but then paused again when he saw a swing.
"Ninja Academy?"
Naruto looked completely bewildered. "Am I alone? Or did I not go there at all?"
Upon closer Naruto realized something was amiss. "Wait a minute, the Ninja Academy was renovated a few years ago, but this place looks just like when I first started school!"
Feeling increasingly uneasy Naruto couldn't help but scratch his head.
Hey! Naruto!
Kurama's voice rang out, and Naruto finally realized what was happening. "What's wrong?"
"Hide first, someone's coming."
Coming to his senses, Naruto realized that someone had indeed come over, and quickly vanished from the spot in Body Flicker Technique eye.
Snap--
A figure appeared here, with striking silver-white hair, and looked around warily.
"Is it just my imagination?"
Hiding in the shadows, Naruto couldn't help but cover his mouth. Was that Kakashi, the Jonin?
But why does it look so small?
Sealing Space -Kurama was also taken aback, then realized something was wrong.
"Naruto, let's leave first and head to the Hokage Rock."
Naruto did not hesitate upon hearing this; with his current strength, disappearing without making a sound would be almost no problem.
I was just momentarily stunned and didn't pay attention to my aura, which is why I acted that way.
Snap--
Naruto had landed at the Hokage Rock, blinked and exclaimed in surprise, "Why isn't there a statue of my teacher here?!"
"Fool."
Kurama was somewhat speechless. Did Naruto really think he hadn't passed through the passage?
"What? This rock statue without a master is a huge problem!"
"That's a serious problem. You suddenly fainted while you were in the passageway," Kurama said in a muffled voice.
"Really?" Naruto asked, looking puzzled.
"Let's put that aside for now, Naruto. I think there's something that might surprise you even more." Kurama seemed to have sensed something interesting.
"What is it? Kurama, stop keeping me in suspense."
Naruto was in a panic, thinking Kurama was just playing a trick on him.
"I sense another version of myself in this world." Kurama smirked. "But the Jinchūriki isn't you, though it still feels very familiar. If you unleash your senses, you should be able to tell."
"What...?"
Naruto pursed his lips, immediately released his senses, and the expression on his face froze instantly.
"Mom's Chakra?"
"Surprised? Unexpected?" Kurama laughed heartily, clearly enjoying his mischievousness.
As his senses expanded, Naruto detected more and more Chakra bodies, including many familiar ones.
"Kurama, what's going on?"
Naruto felt his mind was a bit foggy and could only ask Kurama for help.
"It's obvious that we've not only traveled through different worlds, but we may have even traveled through timelines, just like your son from another world back then."
This was the only scenario that Kurama could think of, after all, many things had proven it.
The Hokage Rock Statue, a young Kakashi, and himself residing within Kushina.
"What!"
Naruto's expression froze; he had not only traveled through different worlds but had also arrived in another time.
"What should I do?" Naruto felt like the sky was falling. Even if he was strong enough, there was no way he could travel back in time.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't your master leave a spell on you?"
Kurama didn't care at all; he was aware of Hagoromo's abilities.
As long as this technique exists, Naruto will be fine.
That's right!
Naruto punched his palm, a look of sudden realization on his face.
Kurama waited quietly, not believing that Naruto wouldn't be able to react in time.
"Alright, Kurama, let's go confirm something first." Naruto finished speaking and disappeared again.
After finishing a bowl of ramen at Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto paid the bill, said goodbye, and left.
But there was a distinctly different meaning in his eyes.
Arriving at a secluded corner, Naruto communicated with Kurama, "Kurama, it is currently Konoha Year 51, October 10th."
Ah~
Kurama responded very calmly.
Naruto went to Ichiraku Ramen just now to confirm the time and date; there's always a small calendar on the counter at Teuchi's ramen shop.
"The Night of the Nine-Tails, the time when Obito appeared and caused trouble!"
As Naruto spoke, his expression gradually turned somewhat angry.
Although his parents came back to life in the original world, it doesn't mean Naruto wouldn't mind.
"What you up to?"
Kurama asked calmly.
"I want to change this moment, at the very least I can't let my parents die."
Naruto lowered his eyes and said, "As a son, now that he's come into this world, I can't just sit idly by."
"Aren't you afraid your master will be displeased? You should know this is about changing the timeline."
"Kurama asked softly."
"Master will be unhappy if I don't do anything." Naruto had no idea that his master, Hagoromo, would let him off the hook if he did nothing.
On the contrary, I might not even be able to become my master's disciple by then.
"Then let's go all out!" Kurama laughed wildly.
"That's right, but before we begin, I need to prepare some things and find the right timing." Naruto wasn't afraid of changing the timeline, but he still needed to be careful.
The events that happened in the original world are still vivid in my mind.
But isn't it just about not changing the timeline? That's easy.
Naruto's lips curled into a smile, and he slowly disappeared from the spot.
--
"Then let's set off."
Hagoromo stood up and spoke.
Kashin Koji was taken aback, and looked up at Hagoromo, "Just like that?"
"Otherwise what?" Hagoromo chuckled lightly, "In my world, the Isshiki wouldn't even have a chance to develop."
"As for the Kara, it's nothing but a disorganized mess."
According to the original timeline, it wasn't until after the Fourth Shinobi World War that the Isshiki dared to take action.
After all, Otsutsuki Kaguya has been sealed away again, Isshiki naturally has no worries about the future.
Kashin Koji fell silent. Indeed, the Hagoromo before him was sufficient to deal with the Isshiki and could be easily resolved.
"The Kara is an artificial human like you. You will be the one to bring it before me. Some abilities are not suitable for you."
Hagoromo looked at Kashin Koji and said, "Eida's Omnipotence is a bug-level ability, and it can't be controlled by herself. It's practically a time bomb."
Seeing the cautious look on Kashin Koji's face, Hagoromo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's just taking their lives, not theirs."
"Besides, even if you didn't bring them, I would still come to you in person."
After finishing her Hagoromo, Yu Yi turned and walked out. It was time to get to work. Taking over Eida and the others' abilities and resolving the trouble with Isshiki would be Isshiki of compensation.
On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, the Seventh Naruto, Rinnegan Sasuke, Kashin Koji, and Sasuke all looked at Hagoromo.
With a flick of her Hagoromo, the space in front of her split open.
Several people stepped out slowly.
This battle was completely resolved.
--
Aww--!
In the darkness, a roar from the Nine-Tails echoed throughout Konoha.
Naruto had been waiting patiently, slowly stepped forward.
"Hiruzen Lord! This is a barrier; we can't get in!"
A ninja called out beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked intently at the Nine-Tails under the moonlight.
"Minato..."
Roar--!
Under the moonlight, the Nine-Tails roared to the sky, Kushina and Minato's pupils to shrink sharply.
"Kushina!"
Minato rushed towards Kushina's location without hesitation. Kushina was too weak; the Adamantine Sealing Chains could no longer restrain the Nine-Tails.
The controlled Nine-Tails raised its claws and headed towards Kushina's location.
"Heh, the fastest Shinobi World, how are you going to save your wife and son?"
In the distance, a masked figure watched this scene and couldn't help but sneer.
Bang--!
The next instant, a sonic boom rang out.
The claws that were about to strike Kushina were kicked away mid-air, and a figure slowly landed.
Minato, who was holding Kushina, turned around when he heard the sound, and his gaze froze.
A blond-haired figure wearing a black top and orange trousers blocked the couple's path.
Most importantly, the clan emblem on the back of the clothes belongs to the Uzumaki Clan.
"Who are you..."
Hearing the sound, Naruto glanced to the side but didn't respond. He walked up to Kushina raised his hand to strike her.
Snap--
Minato was shocked; he couldn't even catch the person's movements.
"Stay with them, I'll handle this."
After erasing the damage Kushina suffered from childbirth and the Nine-Tails' escape, Naruto looked at Minato with a calm expression.
"Kurama..."
"Beat me up all you want, it's just me in a parallel world anyway," Kurama replied directly, completely unconcerned about the possibility of his parallel self getting beaten up.
Naruto smirked; Nine-Tails was currently in a state of rage, and nothing he said would make a difference.
It would be better to just knock him awake.
"Who are you? And that's Nine-Tails!"
Minato called out from behind Naruto, looking at Naruto's blond hair with a vague guess in his mind.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki."
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light emanated from Naruto's body, and he headed towards the Nine-Tails.
Roar--!
This time it wasn't the Nine-Tails' raging roar, but a howl.
Minato and Kushina stared in disbelief at what they had just witnessed. Outside the barrier, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't believe it. "Who is this? How could they..."
One-sided beating of the Nine-Tails?
Is this even human?
"Time to wake up, buddy!" Naruto shouted, and a giant Rasengan appeared with a wave of his hand, surrounded by golden light.
It was about to crash down towards the Nine-Tails.
The raging Nine-Tails fox's pupils contracted sharply, and it involuntarily closed its eyes.
Snap--
A crisp sound rang out as Naruto stood before Nine-Tails's beastly eyes, his clear, azure gaze fixed on Nine-Tails. "Good job, buddy."
With that, he lightly punched the Nine-Tails on the forehead.
Countless memories were transmitted to the Nine-Tails Nine-Tails, whose initial shock turned into disbelief.
