Crossing Through Time and Space

After the Nine-Tails Chakra reached its limit, it was naturally time to move on to the Three-Tails Chakra.

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

One-Tail Chakra, Nine-Tails Chakra, and Three-Tails Chakra.

The three forms of Tailed Beast Chakra didn't clash or interfere with each other. They remained stable.

That was probably because the chakra had no consciousness. Su Yu was also familiar with all three kinds, and his own chakra kept them separated.

Whenever he wanted to use the chakra, he only had to open a channel that let the Tailed Beast Chakra through, and he could smoothly add it to his own.

The Three-Tails' ability needed no explanation: it naturally boosted Water Release chakra.

Wind Release and Water Release chakra were now boosted at the same time and stabilized at the same level.

That was enough for Su Yu to complete Ice Release.

Of course, for now, the Power of the Dragon Vein was more important.

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 abundant. Even a Tailed Beast probably couldn't compare.

Su Yu began searching for weaknesses in the Fourth Hokage's seal.

He hadn't forgotten that the Dragon Vein could transport people through time and space.

But how did that ability work?

And once he used it, would the two worlds turn out to be one and the same?

If they were, could he change the present by going back to the past?

Su Yu didn't know the answer.

But he knew how to find it.

It was actually quite simple.

He only had to look for his parents in the past. That would tell him how the two worlds were connected.

If they weren't there, it would prove that they were different worlds—parallel worlds, as they were called.

If his home was there, it would prove that they might be one and the same, and he couldn't change things carelessly.

After observing for a few minutes, Su Yu looked at the Kunai in the middle of the sealing formula.

He reached out to pull out the specially made Kunai.

The instant he picked it up, the sealing formula spread toward him.

Su Yu didn't stop it. Instead, he used Adamantine Sealing Chains to control the formula.

The chains carried the sealing formula back to the ground. This method of sealing was even more secure than using the specially made Kunai.

Su Yu pulled out the Kunai and examined the Flying Thunder God Mark on it.

"Just as I thought. This Kunai isn't the key. It's there to stop anyone from destroying the seal. Minato Namikaze left behind his Flying Thunder God Kunai so he could arrive here instantly and stop them." He murmured to himself.

Minato Namikaze probably hadn't expected to die first, leaving this Flying Thunder God Kunai with no one to use it.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu used the Flying Thunder God Kunai to cut his finger.

The next second,

the Flying Thunder God Kunai absorbed his blood and lit up.

"Just as I thought. It works on the same principle as the Summoning Technique." Su Yu looked at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.

It would still be difficult for him to make Flying Thunder God Kunai himself, but because the Fourth Hokage was dead, this one was now something he could make a contract with.

He had never seen a real Flying Thunder God Kunai before, and he couldn't exactly ask Tsunade to lend him one.

Now that he had a genuine Flying Thunder God Kunai, he could produce them in quantity.

Then he'd be able to come and go as he pleased, just like the Fourth Hokage.

But...

Su Yu looked at the sealing formula before him.

An object had to be placed at the center of the formula to control it, and a great deal of chakra had to be fed into it.

The first thing that came to mind was a Chakra Blade.

So Su Yu took out one of the Chakra Blades he had collected in his Storage Scroll, carefully placed it at the center of the sealing formula, and began to pour in his chakra.

The sealing formula activated at once and became even more stable.

What Su Yu had done was essentially reactivate the sealing formula.

Once the formula had stabilized,

Su Yu put away the Flying Thunder God Kunai and sent his golden chains downward, exploring the depths of the Power of the Dragon Vein.

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

The Dragon Vein's depth was astonishing.

Su Yu activated his Byakugan. Looking at the incredibly dense Power of the Dragon Vein, he sensed something different.

The Power of the Dragon Vein at the bottom seemed to contain something like life energy.

When he reached five hundred meters, Su Yu had to turn the Adamantine Sealing Chains into a single chain.

By then, he had used up more than half of his chakra.

"This..."

Su Yu stared at the sealing formula at the bottom, so shocked he could barely speak.

Could a human really do this?

Leaving a sealing formula at the bottom of a space filled with the Power of the Dragon Vein wasn't something an ordinary person could manage. Even a Jinchuriki probably wouldn't be able to do it.

And it was precisely because this sealing formula existed at the bottom that the Power of the Dragon Vein could be sealed.

Put simply, without this sealing formula, the Power of the Dragon Vein beneath the earth would surge out and unleash an enormous explosion of energy, powerful enough to affect everywhere.

"Could it have been the Sage of Six Paths?" Su Yu wondered.

This sealing formula didn't resemble the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan. It was ancient and mysterious, like a massive hand firmly pressing down on the Power of the Dragon Vein.

Because it was there, the Power of the Dragon Vein deep underground couldn't erupt. Even the Power of the Dragon Vein between the sealing formula and the surface had been altered.

"Only the Sage of Six Paths could have done something like this." Su Yu felt certain.

He hesitated, then took out the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Kunai and set it beside him.

Then he touched the sealing formula at the bottom with one of his golden chains.

The next second,

the sealing formula began to glow.

The golden chain was pulled inside, taking Su Yu with it into the Power of the Dragon Vein.

Without hesitation, he activated his Tailed Beast Cloak. The pressure around him made him feel as if he were at the bottom of the sea.

Su Yu could have escaped using the Flying Thunder God Kunai, but he wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to see whether what happened next matched his expectations.

He continued sinking.

At last, he passed through the sealing formula at the bottom.

Konoha.

Atop Kage Rock.

Su Yu looked down at the village.

There were only three faces carved into the rock beneath his feet, proving that this was the Third Hokage's era.

After passing through the sealing formula, he hadn't appeared in the Ancient Kingdom of Roran. Instead, he had arrived in the mountains behind Konoha.

This confirmed his guess: the sealing formula could transport people through time and space. It simply didn't guarantee where they would appear.

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

After watching the village for a few minutes, he headed in the direction of his home.

The closer he got, the more he looked forward to what he might find.

Was this the past of the same world?

Or a parallel world?

Half an hour later.

Su Yu stood outside a house.
