The Mysterious Ruins in the South Sea
Actually, Tianqi discovered Black Zetsu attached to Madara as soon as he arrived, but Tianqi didn't want to expose Black Zetsu just like that. He wanted to see what Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was like with his own eyes.
"Nineteen days should be enough. Let's see if we can open a passage to the Small World. It's been so long since I've seen my people!" With this plan in mind Tianqi used his Kamui to teleport to the place where he had fought against the Five Great Nations.
He soon arrived at the former battlefield. Looking at the lush greenery, Tianqi felt a mix of emotions.
"Who would have thought that in this inconspicuous place, a legendary scene of a clan fighting against Five Great Nations once took place? Life is truly unpredictable!" Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile.
"Elder, Zhan, I don't know how you are!" With that, Tianqi mobilized his power and teleported to the location of the former passage.
"Bang!"
Just when Tianqi thought he could open the passage, his energy was repelled by the spatial barrier with a bang.
"Holy crap! I can't open it!" Tianqi was a little surprised but not unexpected as he looked at his own hands. "Damn it! I shouldn't have built such a powerful spatial barrier. Now even I can't open it!"
Tianqi stared speechlessly at the spatial barrier in front of him. He had used almost his strongest spatial abilities to protect his people, but now it was blocking him. However, it was normal that he couldn't open it, since he had only recovered half of his power, and he had only come here to try it out.
"Alas, it seems I won't be able to see my beloved clansmen this time. Elder, Zhan, you wait, I Uchiha Tianqi, will definitely return!" After taking one last reluctant look at that space, Tianqi left and headed towards the southern sea.
After traveling for half a day, Tianqi crossed the coast of the South China Sea and entered the boundless ocean.
"Since it's a spacetime tunnel, it must be emitting spatial fluctuations. With my perception fully activated, I should be able to find it quickly!" As he spoke, Tianqi activated his perception fully, casting it out like a large net across the sea.
However, the ideal was far from reality; after searching for eighteen whole days, they found not even a trace of the time-space tunnel.
Tianqi somehow found some pieces of wood, made a small, rickety raft, and floated on the sea, stuffing raw fish into his mouth one bite at a time.
"Damn it, this ultimate Yang Power is really hard to obtain. I've been searching for eighteen days and haven't found a single hair of it. I'm almost sick of eating raw fish. Sure enough, the tasks issued by the system are not so easy to complete!" Tianqi glanced at the fish in his hand and then ate it bite by bite with a sigh.
"I remember there's a spacetime artifact belonging to the Ōtsutsuki clan in the Hokage world, it's a turtle-shaped thing, I think it's called 'Ryou'. Could the spacetime portal the system mentioned be this thing? If it is, then we're doomed, who knows where such a tiny thing is!"
After searching for so many days without any results, Tianqi couldn't help but worry, especially when he thought of that little turtle, Li.
"System, you better show yourself! If it's really about finding a plowshare, then I'm giving up. There's no way I can find something that's the size of a palm!" Frustrated, Tianqi shouted at the system, but the system didn't respond at all.
"..."
Seeing that the system was responding normally, the frustrated Tianqi gradually calmed down.
"Damn it! If I still can't find it by tomorrow, the last day, I'm just packing my bags and leaving. Anyway, there's no penalty for not completing it, so system, you can do whatever you want with it. If you don't give me any hints, just wait for me to give up!" Tianqi raised his head arrogantly, a typical "if you don't give me a hint, I'm going to give up" attitude.
"...", but the threat of lying down was useless; the system still didn't respond.
"Tch! What's with the aloofness? You must have had a reason for choosing me. I don't believe you'll still be this aloof if I stop doing the mission!" After rolling his Byakugan at the system twice, Tianqi released his perception and continued to sense things.
Despite saying he was going to give up, he still continued to do the tasks on his own initiative. He didn't want to give up the system, this cheat code, and the extreme Yang Power was also very attractive to him.
When the system gave them the thirtieth and final day, Tianqi, through his constant perception, finally sensed a strange fluctuation at this last moment.
"This strange fluctuation, there's no doubt it's the spacetime channel the system mentioned!" Upon spotting the target Tianqi activated Six Paths Mode and rushed towards that direction at top speed.
After flying for hundreds of kilometers, a small island finally came into view. The island was not particularly large, only about five kilometers in size. Five kilometers is neither a large nor a small area.
After arriving on the island, we walked through dense forests, and some dilapidated ruins slowly came into view.
"Oh, there are still some buildings left in this godforsaken place. But judging from how dilapidated they are, they must be several hundred years old. Who lived here?" Tianqi was full of questions as he looked at the buildings, whose dilapidated features were almost worn away.
"Huh! There seems to be a Tomoe shape left on this. Could it be that the Ninja Sect Clan once visited this place?" Tianqi was also somewhat surprised, looking at the marks on a wall that was half collapsed.
It's worth noting that besides Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the earliest users of the Tomoe were the Ninja Sect founded by Ōtsutsuki Hamura. The thought of these Ōtsutsuki ruins immediately piqued Tianqi's interest; these Ōtsutsuki are full of fascinating stories.
After glancing at the dilapidated ruins with interest, Tianqi continued walking towards the center. Soon, something resembling an altar appeared before him, followed by a fifty-meter-long mountain path. Just as Tianqi was about to step onto it, an invisible force blocked his way.
"What the hell? It feels like there's a wall blocking our way!" Tianqi touched the transparent wall in front of him, tried to attack it with Chidori but couldn't break through. Tianqi looked at the mountain path in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"What's at the end of this road? There's a spatial barrier blocking it, making it all so mysterious. Could there be an Ōtsutsuki clan member inside?" After realizing he couldn't break through, Tianqi started imagining what might be inside.
However, just as Tianqi was making various guesses, his Rinnegan automatically activated and shot out a golden light, and the spatial barrier blocking his way disappeared instantly.
Seeing that the Rinnegan had opened up the spatial barrier here, Tianqi became even more certain that this place was related to the Ōtsutsuki clan.
"The Rinnegan can actually open this path, things are getting more and more interesting!" Tianqi smiled slightly and stepped onto the small stone steps in the mountains.
