Traversing Time and Space

Once the Nine-Tails chakra reached its limit, it was naturally time for the Three-Tails chakra.

Su Yu had already used his Adamantine Sealing Chains to lock away the three tails he had obtained from the Three-Tails.

One-Tail chakra, Nine-Tails chakra, and now Three-Tails chakra.

These three strands of Tailed Beast chakra did not collide or cause chaos with one another, maintaining a very stable state.

This was likely because the chakra lacked consciousness, and also because Su Yu had long been familiar with these three strands, using his own chakra to keep them separated.

Whenever he wanted to utilize the chakra, he only needed to open a channel that allowed the Tailed Beast chakra to pass through, enabling him to seamlessly incorporate it.

There was no need to elaborate on the Three-Tails' ability; it naturally provided a boost to water-style chakra.

With both wind-style and water-style chakra receiving simultaneous boosts and stabilizing at the same level.

This was already sufficient for Su Yu to achieve Ice Release.

Of course, the Power of the Dragon Vein was more important at the moment.

Even though Su Yu had absorbed a great deal of the Power of the Dragon Vein, it showed no signs of weakening.

The Power of the Dragon Vein was terrifyingly vast; even a Tailed Beast likely possessed no more than this.

Su Yu began the task of searching for weaknesses around the seal left by the Fourth Hokage.

He had not forgotten that the Dragon Vein possessed the ability to traverse time and space.

However, how was this ability achieved?

Once achieved, were the two worlds actually the same world?

If they were, would he change the current situation by acting in the past?

Su Yu did not know the answer.

But he knew how to uncover it.

In fact, it was quite simple.

He only needed to search the past world for his parents to determine the relationship between the two worlds.

If they were not there, it would prove that they were two different worlds—what was known as parallel worlds.

If his home existed, it would prove that it might be the same world, in which case he could not change things at will.

After observing for a few minutes, Su Yu looked at the Kunai in the center of the Sealing Jutsu.

He placed his hand on it, intending to extract this specialized Kunai.

The moment he picked it up, the Sealing Jutsu surged toward him.

Su Yu did not stop it, instead using his Adamantine Sealing Chains to control the sealing patterns.

The Adamantine Sealing Chains carried the Sealing Jutsu back to the ground, and this method of sealing was even more secure than the specialized Kunai.

Su Yu pulled out the specialized Kunai and looked at the Flying Thunder God mark on it.

"As expected, this Kunai wasn't the focal point; it was there to prevent anyone from interfering. Minato Namikaze left his own Flying Thunder God Kunai behind so that he could instantly arrive here to stop them," he muttered.

Minato Namikaze likely had not anticipated that he would die first, leaving this Flying Thunder God Kunai as an object with no one to use it.

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then used the Flying Thunder God Kunai to slice his finger.

The next second.

The Flying Thunder God Kunai absorbed his blood and immediately lit up.

"Sure enough, it works on the same principle as the Summoning Technique," Su Yu said, looking at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.

It was still quite difficult for him to craft a Flying Thunder God Kunai, but because the Fourth Hokage was dead, this one had become an item he could bind to himself.

Previously, he had never seen a real Flying Thunder God Kunai, and it would have been impossible to borrow one from Tsunade.

Now that he had a genuine Flying Thunder God Kunai, he could mass-produce them.

When that time came, he would be able to come and go as freely as the Fourth Hokage.

However...

Su Yu looked at the Sealing Jutsu before him.

The center of this Sealing Jutsu required an object to control the formation, as well as the injection of a massive amount of chakra.

His first thought for an item capable of holding chakra was a chakra blade.

Consequently, Su Yu took out a chakra blade he had collected in his storage scroll, slowly placed it in the center of the Sealing Jutsu, and began to inject his own chakra.

The Sealing Jutsu was activated in an instant, becoming even more stable.

What Su Yu had done was effectively reactivate the Sealing Jutsu.

Seeing the Sealing Jutsu stabilize.

Su Yu put away the Flying Thunder God Kunai and began to use his golden chains to probe downward, exploring what lay at the very bottom of the Power of the Dragon Vein.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

The depth of the Power of the Dragon Vein was astonishing.

Su Yu activated his Byakugan, observing the incredibly dense Power of the Dragon Vein, and sensed something different.

The Power of the Dragon Vein at the lowest level seemed to contain something akin to life energy.

By the time he reached five hundred meters down, Su Yu had to condense his Adamantine Sealing Chains into a single strand.

During this process, he consumed nearly half of his chakra.

"This..."

Su Yu stared at the Sealing Jutsu formation at the bottom, too shocked to speak.

Is this something a human could accomplish?

To be able to leave a Sealing Jutsu formation at the very bottom of a space saturated with the Power of the Dragon Vein was definitely not something an ordinary person could do; even a Jinchuriki would likely be unable to manage it.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the existence of this bottom-level Sealing Jutsu that the Power of the Dragon Vein could be contained.

Simply put, if this Sealing Jutsu did not exist, the moment the Power of the Dragon Vein beneath the earth surged out, it would cause a massive energy explosion, the power of which would be enough to affect everywhere.

"Could it be the Sage of Six Paths?" A guess formed in Su Yu's mind.

This Sealing Jutsu did not resemble the Sealing Jutsu possessed by the Uzumaki Clan; it was ancient and profound, like a giant hand firmly suppressing the Power of the Dragon Vein.

Because of its existence, the Power of the Dragon Vein deep underground could not erupt, and the Power of the Dragon Vein in the space between the Sealing Jutsu and the surface had even undergone a transformation.

"I'm afraid only the Sage of Six Paths could accomplish such a thing." Su Yu confirmed his conjecture.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Kunai and placed it by his side.

Immediately after, he used his golden chains to touch the Sealing Jutsu formation at the bottom.

The next second.

The Sealing Jutsu formation emitted a radiance.

Su Yu's golden chains were sucked directly into it, and he himself was dragged into the Power of the Dragon Vein along with them.

He activated his Tailed Beast Cloak without hesitation, the surrounding pressure making him feel as if he were in the deep sea.

Su Yu could have left using the Flying Thunder God Kunai, but he was in no rush, because he wanted to know if what followed would match his expectations.

He continued to sink downward.

Finally, he passed through the Sealing Jutsu formation at the bottom.

Konoha.

On the Hokage Rock.

Su Yu looked at the village before him.

There were only three stone statues beneath his feet, which proved that this was the era of the Third Hokage.

After passing through the Sealing Jutsu formation, he did not appear in the Ancient Kingdom of Roran, but rather in the mountains behind Konoha.

This also verified his conjecture: that Sealing Jutsu formation possessed the ability to allow one to travel through time and space, though the location of arrival was not fixed.

Su Yu changed into his Anbu gear while still in the mountains behind the village.

After observing for several minutes, he headed in the direction of his home.

The closer he got, the more expectant he became.

Is this truly the past of the same world?

Or is it a parallel world?

Half an hour later.

Su Yu stood outside a residence.
