Returning to the Shinobi World a Millennium Later
In the dilapidated ancestral hall, a sudden burst of intense white light erupted from the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan pattern on the ground, illuminating the entire dimly lit hall. The immense power of the eye filled the entire space. Just then, a dark shadow flew out from the white light and landed on the ground.
"Damn it! We haven't even figured out who those two are before they've been dragged into this. How infuriating!" Tianqi dusted himself off, cursing under his breath, while mentally giving a piece of his mind to the two mysterious people and their entire families.
"But those two guys gave me a very special feeling. They must be related to me in some way, but who exactly are they?" Tianqi stroked his chin, making all sorts of guesses about the identities of the two men.
However, at that moment, the system's voice also rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing your time-traveling journey! Beginning to release ultimate Yin Power and ultimate Yang Power!]
Hearing the system's voice, two streams of Yang Power suddenly flowed into Tianqi's body. A crescent moon mark representing the ultimate Yin Release power appeared on his left hand, resembling the moon, while a small sphere representing the ultimate Yang Release power appeared on his left hand, looking like the sun.
"So this is the ultimate Yang Power? Hehe, interesting!" Feeling the powerful Yang Power within his body, Tianqi smiled. Now his strength had truly reached its peak. If he said he was second, no one would dare to say they were first. He was truly invincible.
"Although I am now invincible in the Shinobi World, those two guys just now seemed unfathomable, like bottomless pits. It seems that the road ahead is still full of variables. It would be better to keep a low profile in the future!" Tianqi added to himself, "I should be more high-profile in my actions."
"Since they say they're not enemies, let's leave them alone for now!" Putting aside the matter of those two guys, Tianqi looked around the ancestral hall. However, when he saw the footprints on the ground, Tianqi's brows immediately furrowed. The reason was that the footprints were not someone else's but his own, but they were covered in dust, almost obscuring the traces.
"What's going on? I was only gone for about a month, how could the traces be like this? Could it be that the flow of time and space was different when I went back and forth?" With this thought in mind, Tianqi felt that it was more and more likely. Moreover, judging from the dust on the footprints, it would take at least ten years to achieve this.
"If it's really as I think, then we're in trouble!" Tianqi also had a bitter smile on his face. He was now certain that more than ten years had passed. His words to Tsunade had come true. This trip had indeed taken a very long time.
"I reckon Tsunade and Sen'u are going to be upset this time!" Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile.
Putting aside his thoughts, Tianqi turned and stood before the long sword. This sword was planted there by Indra himself, and even after a thousand years, it had not decayed with time and still exuded a chilling aura.
"It's been fine for so many years, this knife must be a divine weapon!" As soon as Tianqi drew the long knife, a strange energy coursed through his body, and the method of application and its name entered his mind.
"Oh! It's actually the legendary Sword of the Gathering Clouds, the number one divine weapon, the strongest offensive artifact. I've really struck gold this time!" Tianqi couldn't help but get excited as he looked at the weapon in his hand, which was neither a knife nor a sword, and realized it was the Sword of the Gathering Clouds.
After all, Tianqi knew the fame of this divine weapon. The Heavenly Cloud Sword, also known as the Sword of the Gathering Clouds, the Grass-like Sword, and the Great Totsuka Blade Sword, one of the swords of the gods. It is even above the three great divine weapons.
"Indra's Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan should be down there!" Tianqi grinned, gripping the Sword of the Gathering Clouds and slashing at the pattern on the ground.
"Bang!"
After a thousand years, Indra's Barrier Ninjutsu had lost much of its power. Even a complete Barrier Ninjutsu could not withstand Tianqi now. With just one strike, the pattern on the ground was split open, revealing the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan inside, and its immense ocular power surged out.
"It's amazing that you can still unleash such eye power after so many years, but this amount of eye power is nothing!" Ignoring the impact of the eye power, Tianqi directly reached out and picked up the Rinnegan stone. As for why it was a stone, it was because after a thousand years, Indra's Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan had been completely petrified. To restore it to its original state, it would require an equivalent Rinnegan to activate, but this was a trivial matter for Tianqi.
"Come and reveal your true form!" As Tianqi channeled his eye power, the Rinnegan, which had turned to stone, slowly returned to its original state.
"So this is the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan! Now I have a pair of eyes with infinite power!" Tianqi had a purpose in taking this eye. If his son, Sen'u, was too weak and failed to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, then he could use this eye to give him sight. After all, Sen'u didn't have any brothers to transplant eyes into him, and even if he did, Tianqi wouldn't allow them to do so.
"Well, never mind that, let's go back first. I've been away for so long, I'm sure Sen'u misses me!" After putting away the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, Tianqi left the island. However, as Tianqi left, he also set up a powerful Barrier Ninjutsu around the island to prevent outsiders from setting foot on this sacred land.
On the way, Tianqi also thought of Karura. That woman probably longed for him to come and pick her up Tenten of her life. For Tianqi, it only took a short ten minutes to go from a thousand years ago to a thousand years in the future, but for Karura, it was a whole thousand years. It was hard to imagine how long that was.
"I wonder if Karura is waiting for me. No, I must find a sacrifice as soon as I get back to perform the Impure World Reincarnation!" Tianqi clenched his fists, thinking to himself that regardless of whether Karura was waiting for him or not, he had to fulfill his promise as soon as possible.
Thinking of Karura and Sen'u, Tianqi was also eager to return home. He abandoned flying and used his spatial Dōjutsu. It only took him more than ten days to find a place to come here, so it wouldn't take him that long to go back. In just over ten minutes, Tianqi returned to the Land of Fire.
Upon entering the Land of Land of Fire, Tianqi did not immediately go to find Tsunade. There were some things he needed to do back in Konoha. Moreover, once in Konoha, he could not only see his son Sen'u, but also confirm how long he had been gone. Tianqi once again used his spatial powers to head towards Konoha.
A short while later, a spatial vortex appeared on the roof of a building in Konoha, and Tianqi walked out from it.
