Kaguya Lost, and Tōka Had to Take the Blame?

In the courtyard, Tōka stared blankly at the two brothers in front of him, their Three Tomoe Sharingan and white, Dongdongyan!

Aren't those two Hagoromo and Hamura?

Moreover, the Hagoromo has already grown a beard, and there's an aura of Senjutsu, plus that Toad on the roof...

Although their combat was minimally destructive, every move was incredibly dangerous.

It seems Kaguya is controlling Hamura and Hagoromo in the battle?

Because of Tōka's appearance, Hagoromo and Hamura, who were fighting, immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Who are you?" Hagoromo's senses sharpened, and he stared at Tōka in shock, because he could feel his mother's presence in Tōka's body.

Is this guy one of those people Mother fears?

Before Tōka could speak, Hamura, who was under control, paused briefly before launching another attack on Hagoromo.

Hagoromo had no time to deal with the sudden appearance of Tōka and quickly went on the defensive. Hagoromo inherited Kaguya's Byakugan, which allows her to see through the meridians of the human body.

Once you get infected, it can become very troublesome.

If one only passively takes hits, even the most powerful Hagoromo will find herself in trouble.

Clearly, Hagoromo was aware of this as well. After blocking Hamura's attack, he quickly gathered his strength, jumped high, and landed behind Hamura.

At the same time, the distance between the two increased...

Buzz!

Hagoromo stood still, maintaining Budong posture, as the surrounding Natural Energy rapidly gathered and merged into his body.

"Oh? This must be a magical Senjutsu from Mount Myōboku?" Tōka's figure landed on the rooftop, next to a Toad with the Oil" on its chest.

"You're the brat who just appeared in the courtyard!" Gamamaru stared in shock at Tōka, who emerged from the Void, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his back.

A strange feeling welled up in Gamamaru's heart; facing this brat was like facing Kaguya!

Tōka was completely unconcerned about Gamamaru's wariness; he was more concerned about the space here.

"The spacetime here is so unstable!"

How come decades have passed even though I only went out for one night?

Tōka looked down at his body, which didn't seem to grow as time passed here; it seemed that the space-time here still rejected him.

History is history, Tōka) does nothing to change anything.

He sat down next to Gamamaru, arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.

Being able to witness the Six Paths Brothers' battle against Kaguya firsthand made the trip worthwhile!

Sizzle...

With the Natural Energy fully gathered and the Senjutsu Chakra concentrated in his palm, Hagoromo took a deep breath and silently said in his heart, "I'm sorry!"

Puff!

With Body Flicker Technique movement, Hagoromo Yi thrust the Sage Art: Lightning Spear from her palm straight into Hamura's chest.

The Puppet Technique was instantly dispelled, and the life force in Hamura's eyes gradually faded, but Hagoromo would not let him die so easily.

"Big brother?" Hamura's bewildered eyes revealed a sudden clarity, then he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, losing all strength to support himself as he collapsed to the ground.

"Don't worry, you'll get better!" A tear welled up in Hagoromo's eye as she gently supported Hamura.

Then, he took out the Sage Talisman given to him by Gamamaru from his pocket...

A powerful life force surged into Hamura's body, his wounds visibly healed, and Hamura's expression returned to normal in an instant.

Hagoromo looked at her younger brother with unusual calm, but the emotions in her heart were like a raging storm.

Seeing Hamura go from being on the verge of death to being fully Hamura, Hagoromo's eyes underwent an astonishing change, and his scarlet Three Tomoe transformed directly into the Rinnegan.

And Vortex shape appeared on his forehead!

The Hagoromo here is no longer Otsutsuki Hagoromo, but the true Sage of Six Paths!

"The Toad Clan's Sage Talisman are actually this powerful?" Tōka tilted his head and glanced at Gamamaru, making the other party break out in a cold sweat.

Gulp, Gamamaru swallowed nervously, wanting to escape this place as soon as possible, but he didn't have the courage.

A wicked smile played on Tōka's lips, and a hint of interest flickered in his Ice Blue eyes—interest in the Toad Clan's Sage Talisman.

"Since we're such good friends, can you give me one too?" Tōka smiled and held out a hand to Gamamaru.

Upon hearing this, Gamamaru immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as this.

We've only known each other for less than a minute!

No, Gamamaru doesn't even know Tōka's name! He can't possibly recognize two characters!

"No, that's Sage Talisman, not toilet paper!" Gamamaru shook his two front paws vigorously, directly rejecting Tōka's rude request.

They're putting on an act of 'I won't give you the talisman, or my life!'

"Tsk tsk tsk... What a stingy guy." Tōka glanced at Gamamaru and snorted.

Then Tōka withdrew his gaze and looked back at the courtyard, leaving only the dark back of Gamamaru's head in his sight.

The Gamamaru choked and almost passed out from choking.

How come, after all the arguments, it turns out he's the one in the wrong?

Is this a matter of being stingy or not?

Sudden!

"Here it comes!" Tōka's voice rang out, interrupting Gamamaru who was about to complain.

Hamura's injuries had been completely healed, and at the same time, Kaguya burst out of the roof.

The earth began to tremble, Kaguya's oppressive aura plunged the entire world into fear.

The suffocating atmosphere made Gamamaru tremble on the roof, even his screams sounded unnatural.

Tōka stood up immediately, his chakra gathering on the soles of his feet and attaching to the roof.

"Big brother, look over there!" Hamura's perception was even stronger, and he was the first to notice the other side of the mountain range, where the giant Divine Tree was beginning to change!

The two stared in astonishment at the Divine Tree that had transformed into Ten-Tails tree.

The immense power was beyond words, and even the Sage of Six Paths was awestruck!

"Huh? Something seems off about the Ten-Tails?" Tōka's Tenseigan could clearly see the Ten-Tails' condition; it seemed to be missing a few tails?

Was it because he had previously severed a third of the root system using the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion?

Tōka glanced sheepishly at Kaguya floating in the air. The Ten-Tails' power had weakened somewhat; it shouldn't be the key factor in determining the outcome of this battle, right?

Part of the Divine Tree's roots remained underground, while the missing part was re-formed using powerful chakra.

The Ten-Tails was still the Ten-Tails, but Tōka could clearly sense that its aura had weakened somewhat.

What Tōka cared about was not the strength or weakness of the Ten-Tails, but...

After the Divine Tree went berserk and transformed into the Ten-Tails, it left that mountain range, leaving behind a massive underground energy source at the center of the crater!

Clearly visible!

"Dragon Vein?!" Tōka exclaimed in disbelief. It turned out the Dragon Vein was formed from the roots of the Divine Tree, as indicated on the Stone Tablet left by Kaguya...

It's not that the Dragon Vein nurtured the Divine Tree, but rather that the power left behind by the Divine Tree transformed into the Dragon Vein!

The Divine Tree, which absorbed the essence of the earth and gathered the Natural Energy, had its roots severed by Tōka unintentionally. Because the energy was too great, it could not return to nature.

Ultimately, it transformed into the Dragon Vein beneath the Ancient Kingdom of Roran!

Upon seeing the appearance of the Dragon Vein, Tōka had no time to pay attention to the battle between the Six Paths Brothers and Kaguya. This battle ended with Kaguya's defeat and sealing away.

Tōka unintentionally severed the roots of the Divine Tree, which weakened the power of the Ten-Tails considerably.

This battle was even less suspenseful, and Tōka naturally wouldn't interfere with the battle between the three; history doesn't allow Mirai travelers to interfere too much.

Otherwise, Tōka might not exist in this world!

Buzz!

The Ice Blue Tenseigan flickered, and Tōka's figure disappeared into the Void. His aura vanished abruptly, and he frantically approached the underground Dragon Vein.

After seeing Tōka leave, Hagoromo and Hamura both breathed a sigh of relief.

The power of the Tenseigan made the two feel immense, Tōka's aura made them very uneasy, like a miniature version of Kaguya.

"That's fine too!" Hagoromo's gaze returned to Kaguya.

"Hagoromo, Hamura, give me back my power!" Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan on her forehead opened, and the veins on her cheeks bulged out.

A great battle is about to break out!

The Ten-Tails left the mountain range and headed straight for Hagoromo and Hamura.

This way, we can approach that place without any worries!

In the vast, empty pit, a wave of spatial energy rippled outwards, and Tōka's figure emerged from the Void, one foot landing firmly on solid ground.

A chilling feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.

"Orochimaru?" Tōka was slightly taken aback; he sensed Orochimaru's presence.

Just as expected!

As Tōka finished speaking, a cold chakra surged from the soil not far away, and Orochimaru's body emerged from it.

"Who is this terrifying force at play?" Orochimaru looked up at the courtyard; the enormous monster's figure was impossible to hide.

Kaguya, however, could not see Orochimaru and the three Six Paths brothers clearly.

Because the White Phosphorus Snake sensed the suddenly appearing Dragon Vein, Orochimaru was directly summoned to this place.

"It's just three monsters fighting. Have they found a way back?" Tōka's mind was solely focused on the Dragon Vein, using its immense energy to fully awaken his Sage Body.

Once Tōka awakens the Sage Body, he will never have to worry about his chakra levels again!

Orochimaru wanted to go and see those three terrifying guys, but considering that now was a good opportunity to leave, what if the dragon Dragon Vein, which hadn't appeared for decades, disappeared again?

Although Orochimaru only spent a few days in Ryūchi Cave, he no longer wanted to stay in this world where time and space were extremely unstable.

"The way back is simple. Minato's Jutsu Formula is connected to the Dragon Vein, and breaking the seal on the Dragon Vein will trigger Dragon Vein power."

Orochimaru explained in a deep voice that this was the result of his and the White Phosphorus Snake's research over the past few days.

Tōka listened quietly, wondering why the two of them would appear a thousand years ago, and in such an extremely unstable time and space.

The reason is simple: Minato's Sealing Technique contains a trap!

The trap is connected to the Dragon Vein. If the Sealing Technique is not broken in the normal way, it will trigger the power of the Dragon Vein and teleport nearby people into the spacetime turbulence.

"How do we break this barrier? Is it possible to go back?" Tōka frowned; he didn't want to live a thousand years into this kind of time and space.

You might sleep one night and wake up to find hundreds of years have passed, or you might take a short nap and the world collapses!

Orochimaru's gaze returned to the spot where the Divine Tree stood; deep within that large crater lay a vast and pure Natural Energy!

Dragon Vein!

"Power is born from the Dragon Vein, and it will also perish from the Dragon Vein!" Orochimaru's low, hoarse voice rang out; this was the only piece of information he had obtained from Ryūchi Cave.

There is only one way to return to the normal world.

Literally speaking, doesn't that mean destroying the Dragon Vein? Tōka was dumbfounded. If this thing was destroyed, wouldn't he have wasted all this time for nothing?

Seemingly understanding the meaning in Tōka's eyes, Orochimaru smiled slyly, and his low, husky voice rang out again.

"Tōka, didn't you come here for the power contained within this Dragon Vein? Why do you want to destroy it?"

Obtaining it and severing the connection of the Minato Jutsu Formula would surely interrupt the energy source of the spacetime turbulence Jutsu Formula, wouldn't it?

Tōka's eyes lit up. "Is this even possible?"

However, Tōka did not know how to use the Dragon Vein to awaken his Sage Body, because due to the limitations of his Dojutsu, he could not see the complete version of the Stone Tablet.

This is precisely why Tōka mistakenly interpreted "the Dragon Vein is the energy left behind by the Divine Tree" as "the Dragon Vein is the source of energy that nurtured the Divine Tree"!

"Tōka, you don't actually know the correct method, do you?" Orochimaru noticed the embarrassment flashing in Tōka's eyes and felt an urge to beat Tōka up.

Are you fucking kidding me?

If you don't know how to use this immense power, why did you bother coming all the way to the Land of Wind, this godforsaken place?

Moreover, they were Minato and directly caught in the spacetime turbulence!

Now it's too late to go back!!

"Uh... Orochimaru, don't worry, I'll try..." Tōka wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his cheeks. He hadn't thought that much about it at the time.

Furthermore, since they misread Kaguya's Stone Tablet, the content thereafter is naturally unusable.

For now, the only option is to try some methods that might be feasible.

A deafening roar!

Tōka and Orochimaru instinctively turned their heads to look, only to see the Ten-Tails locked in fierce combat with a chakra giant.

"We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the battle over there might spread..." Orochimaru said in a deep voice, a solemn look appearing in his cold Snake Eyes.

Having awakened the Tenseigan, Tōka mastered the art of space-time, so he wasn't worried that Kaguya's battle with the Six Paths brothers would affect him.

However, to avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

"Since that's the case, let's try this technique!" Tōka's dark eyes completely transformed into the Tenseigan, which pulsated with Ice Blue aura.

Reincarnation Seal Technique!

Based on the principle of Yin Seal, the immense power of the Dragon Vein is sealed at the center of the forehead using the powerful Dojutsu of the Eternal Tenseigan.

The Dragon Vein, formed from the earth's Natural Energy, transformed into a terrifying and massive storm that swept in.

Visible natural power surged wildly into Tōka's eyes, and after being balanced by the Tenseigan, it was stored in the space between his eyebrows.

A faint Pure White Diamond Mark appeared on Tōka's forehead.

As time goes by, the Tenseigan will completely transform the Dragon Vein power sealed within the Diamond Mark into Tōka's chakra.

The Sage Body was finally awakened, and all power was no longer ordinary chakra.

It is Senjutsu infused with Natural Energy!

Although Tōka is not Jinchūriki, the immense power within him will eventually transform him into Jinchūriki who, despite not Jinchūriki, possesses a terrifying amount of chakra!

The transformation of the Dragon Vein's power requires a great deal of time, but the Reincarnation Seal Technique can complete it quickly!

"Oh? The space is starting to collapse... It seems the trap in Minato's Jutsu Formula has been dispelled!" Orochimaru stared at Tōka in shock.

The energy storm in the air, comparable to the chakra of Tailed Beast, was completely swallowed up by those tiny eyeballs?!

Click...

When the last wisp of Dragon Vein power was sealed by the Tenseigan.

Spacetime shattered, the world broke apart like a mirror, and everything turned into tiny, rice-grain-sized pieces of shattered glass that vanished without a trace.

Two strange energies enveloped Tōka and Orochimaru, completely merging them into the black Vortex...
