Plow

Within an unordered, alternate dimension.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Yuzuru, who had been in a state of self-imposed slumber, slowly awoke from the floating stone platform. He sat up, gently massaged his temples, and then slowly stood up. After adjusting to his body, which had been still for so long, he began to use his dōjutsu to connect with Chimimōryō, who was far away in the Shinobi World.

Illusion Arts: Communication

is one of Yuzuru's unique Rinnegan abilities. It allows him to pre-mark the opponent's Spirit Body, allowing both parties to communicate remotely through illusions.

A moment later.

Yuzuru's illusionary clone appeared directly inside a dark room. Only his chest was clear and distinct; the rest of his body was blocked by countless blue pixelated squares, giving it an unreal feeling.

"Master!"

A magnetic, young man's voice rang out. Yuzuru lazily raised his head and immediately frowned slightly.

Standing before Yuzuru was a fair-skinned youth with a perpetually wicked smile on his face. His purplish-black eyes were filled with a mysterious luster, arousing a desire in others to 'explore deeply'...

To Yuzuru, Chimimōryō in this form resembled a 'pretty boy' or 'host' from his previous life, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable...

"Why have you become like this?"

Yuzuru said, covering his forehead, to the 'man' before him.

"Master, this is a body I spent a long time selecting from among humans. With this 'body' and this 'face,' it will be easier for me to infiltrate human society and gather more information for you..."

Chimimōryō replied obsequiously, afraid that Yuzuru would be dissatisfied with him.

Yuzuru listened, simply nodded, and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked him, "Tell me the most important information you've gathered recently..."

"Yes, Master..."

Chimimōryō responded and told Yuzuru about the major events that had occurred in the Shinobi World recently, one by one.

After a long while.

Chimimōryō stopped narrating, and Yuzuru learned about the current situation in the Shinobi World from him.

"...The First Shinobi World War has just ended, and the major shinobi villages are in a period of recuperation..."

Yuzuru murmured in his heart, and an interesting idea immediately popped into his head.

"Perhaps I can experience life in the Hidden Leaf Village..."

With this thought in mind, Yuzuru directly canceled

, immediately disappearing from Chimimōryō's sight...

His consciousness returned to his main body in the unordered, alternate dimension. Without another word, Yuzuru summoned a Space-Time Transfer portal, then walked into it, arriving in the Shinobi World.

Now that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had been sealed on the moon by her two 'filial sons,' the disappearance of this powerful enemy allowed Yuzuru to appear freely in the Shinobi World. Even if Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki discovered Yuzuru in Spirit Body form, Yuzuru would not be afraid at all!

Moreover, the current Hagoromo had no intention of interfering in the Shinobi World from within the Pure Land...

Yuzuru shook the chaotic thoughts out of his head and began to lock onto Xuanming's location.

"It's in such a distant place?"

Yuzuru's gaze turned towards the east, as if he could truly see Xuanming sleeping in the depths of the sea.

However, this was not difficult for Yuzuru. He directly used

again, appearing before Xuanming in an illusionary form, and then called out to him.

"Xuanming..."

The voice from his memories fell into Xuanming's ears, causing his massive body to move. Immediately, the seabed surged, disturbing the nearby currents and causing a swarm of marine life to swim away quickly...

"Master!"

"Master!"

The Black Tortoise and Nether Serpent shouted to Yuzuru above.

"Did you find what I asked you to look for?"

Yuzuru didn't waste time with them, but went straight to the point and asked.

"Master, we found it thirty-one years ago, but we couldn't contact you, so we took a nap..."

The Black Tortoise's honest voice spoke, like an old farmer working in the countryside.

"Yes, Master, we didn't slack off at all. We only took a nap after finding this 'thing'..."

A hoarse female voice came from the Nether Serpent's mouth, her tone filled with a trace of fear towards Yuzuru. As she spoke, she spat out a 'thing' that resembled a 'bowl.'

Yuzuru looked at the 'bowl' and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said to Xuanming, "Surface to the sea; I'll be there in a moment."

"Yes, Master!"

The Black Tortoise and Nether Serpent responded in unison. After seeing Yuzuru's illusion disappear, they immediately floated towards the surface of the sea.

Just as Xuanming appeared on the surface of the sea, a black and red Space-Time Transfer portal appeared on the surface of the sea. Immediately afterward, Yuzuru slowly walked out of it, looking down at Xuanming from above.

Then, Yuzuru didn't say much, but directly took the 'bowl' from the Nether Serpent and walked back into the black and red portal, disappearing before Xuanming's eyes...

After finding a deserted place, Yuzuru took out the 'bowl.' It was full of ancient charm, with a special flower pattern composed of circles and squares on one side.

Although this 'thing' looked like a 'bowl' full of historical atmosphere, it was actually not an ordinary object, but a time-traveling treasure left behind in the Shinobi World by the Ōtsutsuki Clan—the Plow!

"An Ōtsutsuki treasure that can travel through time; let me see your power..."

Thinking this, Yuzuru directly placed his hand on the 'bowl.' Immediately, the energy in his body turned into a green light and injected into it. According to Isshiki's memories, he directly activated the mechanism on it, and this treasure belonging to the Ōtsutsuki Clan was immediately awakened.

The Plow transformed from the shape of a 'bowl' directly into a strangely shaped sea turtle. Its shell was dark blue, with four regular white circles distributed on it, and a pair of vertical white lines on either side near each leg, connected to the outermost white circle.

Most interesting was the jujube-red rope tied horizontally across its abdomen, knotted in a shape resembling a 'gift knot'...

"Wake up, Plow!"

With Yuzuru's call, Plow's limbs and tortoise head emerged from its shell, emitting the unique sound of a mechanical creature as they extended.

"Activation confirmed..."

"I am the Time Travel Noble Phantasm—Plow..."

"Now broadcasting the precautions for use..."

"First, confirm the order of use. If the order is wrong, there will be problems during use..."

"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki-sama, using it requires charging energy. Please set the movement location and time coordinates after charging..."

After Plow activated, it immediately scanned and recognized Yuzuru's Ōtsutsuki identity, then emitted a mechanical voice devoid of human emotion.

Yuzuru wasn't surprised by this and immediately did as Plow instructed, pouring a large amount of energy into Plow's body. Fortunately, he had stored a lot of energy within him during these years of slumber, enough to start a time travel journey!

"...Energy has been fully charged. Please immediately set the movement location and time coordinates!"

Having obtained a large amount of energy, Plow immediately changed its form. The 'gift knot' of red rope opened and extended to both sides, floating in the air. Four white circles immediately decomposed the tortoise shell into four parts, floating upwards in a stepped manner. Looking inside the tortoise shell through the gaps between the decomposed shells, a black hole-like time vortex appeared, and it transformed into a dazzling yellow light that began to spread...

Seeing this, Yuzuru revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then told Plow the time and place he wanted to go...

"...Movement location and time coordinates have been set. Time travel will begin immediately!"

After Plow obtained the accurate time and location coordinates, the yellow light on its body expanded again, directly enveloping Yuzuru
