Found Time to Talk with Him (Seeking Subscriptions~)

"I really never expected you two to come up with something like this."

That afternoon, when Hyuga Aya arrived at the laboratory, she was genuinely surprised by what Uchiha Kei and Imai Kenta had created.

She had long wondered how Uchiha Kei's utterly bizarre speed worked.

Though she had never asked, she was smart enough to consider whether it might be connected to time.

After all, she had seen three people capable of using such bizarre space-based techniques.

Uchiha Kei's strength was absurd, especially since his speed was even faster than Space-Time Ninjutsu.

She could not help wondering whether manipulating time was actually what he excelled at most.

This time, reality seemed to prove her suspicions. Uchiha Kei truly was someone capable of manipulating time.

What was more, this guy and that bastard Imai Kenta had actually cobbled together some kind of scroll to slow their aging and keep themselves at their peak!

In other words, this was practically a technique that allowed people to remain in this world for a long time!

In the past, Hyuga Aya probably would not have considered such a thing. Birth, aging, illness, and death were simply the natural course of a person's life.

But after coming into contact with terrifying beings like the Otsutsuki, especially after witnessing her own ancestor "rise from the dead" and appear before them—

She seemed to realize that a state of enduring eternally in this world was not entirely unacceptable.

Accepting it was one thing, but whether she was willing to do it was another matter.

After all, people had emotions. Even people as detached as Uchiha Kei and the other two still needed emotions by nature and longed for some form of emotional connection.

No one could endure watching everything they knew and understood vanish into nothingness,
