Impact

Time passed slowly as the two talked, and the sunlight outside the window gradually became brighter and hotter, approaching noon.

Taiichi closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling that his spirit had recovered to a certain level, enough to activate the Sage Mode for a short period of time.

"We can't wait any longer," he whispered.

The matter of Rōran needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and they also need to return to Konoha to report back.

Moreover, leaving the Dragon Vein there is far too dangerous. This time it was an Otsutsuki, and who knows what it will be next.

It must be sealed away!

"Lin, please protect me."

"What are you going to do?" Lin asked in surprise.

"Accelerate recovery." Taiichi didn't explain further, his hands quickly Hand Seals, and Natural Energy rapidly gathered into his body.

"Sage Mode - Activated!"

This time, there was no earth-shattering explosion like in previous battles; only a gentle energy flowed slowly within his body.

The Senjutsu Chakra was transformed into Yang Release, and a faint golden-green light appeared around Taiichi.

Lin watched in stunned silence. She could clearly feel the life force emanating from Taiichi growing stronger and more abundant at an astonishing rate.

His originally pale face quickly regained its rosy hue, and his listless aura gradually rose, becoming deep and lingering.

This process lasted approximately 10 minutes.

When the Sage Mode was deactivated, he gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Although the mental fatigue persists, the physical pain has disappeared without a trace. Although the meridians still feel a little fragile, their function is no longer impaired.

"This... this is Senjutsu?" Lin murmured, her eyes filled with shock.

This was the first time she had ever experienced so directly the terrifying healing effects of Senjutsu, which went beyond the scope of conventional Medical Ninjutsu.

"Hmm, it's just a way of using it." Taiichi stretched his limbs and felt more relaxed than ever before. Apart from a slight mental fatigue, his physical condition had recovered to about 70-80% of its peak.

He threw off the covers and got out of bed with nimble movements, showing no trace of his previous weakness.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and Kakashi walked in. Seeing Taiichi standing by the bed, looking radiant, a hint of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes beneath his silver hair.

"Taiichi, you—" Kakashi's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

"I'm fine," Taiichi interrupted him. "Take me to see the Queen, and let's quickly clean up the mess afterward."

"Hmm," Kakashi nodded, his gaze sweeping over Taiichi to confirm he was truly unharmed before continuing, 66

The Queen has been waiting for you.

"Perfect timing, let's head over now," Taiichi said decisively. "Lin, you come too. This matter needs to be settled completely."

The three left the hospital and headed straight for the Queen's temporary residence.

On the streets, the residents of Rōran had begun clearing the ruins near the palace, their faces showing bewilderment at surviving the disaster and anxiety about the future, but the order was still relatively good.

As Taiichi and his two companions walked by, many people cast respectful and grateful glances their way.

In a temporarily vacated room, Taiichi met Queen Seraam and little Sara again.

Although the Queen still couldn't hide her exhaustion and sorrow, her eyes were much firmer than before. Sara nestled beside her mother, watching Taiichi with curiosity.

"Thank you all for your help once again, especially Taiichi, your contribution—" The Queen stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. This is our mission." Taiichi nodded slightly and got First Gate, "Anrokuzan has been completely eliminated, and the threat has been removed."

The power of the Dragon Vein has temporarily subsided after the previous upheaval, but for safety's sake, I suggest that you guide it personally. I will cast a powerful seal to completely stabilize it.

"No problem, I'll cooperate fully!"

The queen agreed without hesitation. The power of the Dragon Vein brought Rōran a brief period of "prosperity," but also catastrophic destruction. Now she only wanted to completely seal away this source of calamity.

"Secondly, it concerns the truth of this incident."

Taiichi's voice turned serious, "Urashiki Otsutsuki, that enemy from outer space, his existence and power, and the fact that Naruto Yamato are from the future, are all too shocking."

If leaked, it will not only cause panic and covetousness throughout the Ninja World, but may also bring unnecessary trouble.

The Queen, Kakashi, and Rin all nodded solemnly, understanding Taiichi's meaning.

Time travel, the Otsutsuki, terrifying power surpassing even Kage Level strength—if this information were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"For the peace of Rōran, and for the stability of the entire Ninja World."

Taiichi's gaze swept over the Queen, several key officials present, and the chief guard.

"I suggest that, apart from Your Majesty retaining your complete memory, a mental seal be placed on all other people who know the truth, including officials and guards."

All details about Urashiki Otsutsuki, Naruto, Yamato, and their origins from the future are blurred and made more plausible.

"Rationalization?" the Queen asked.

"Yes," Taiichi explained, "This disaster can be entirely attributed to Anrokuzan's ambition and rebellion."

He attempted to steal the power of the Dragon Vein to create Puppet army, but was discovered and stopped in time by the Konoha Ninja.

In the final battle, he detonated a portion of the Dragon Vein's power, causing the destruction of the royal palace.

A brief silence fell over the room. Kakashi and Rin exchanged a glance, both seeing the agreement in each other's eyes.

Erasing memories of the Otsutsuki and the time travelers is indeed the safest approach.

The Queen pondered for a moment, then finally nodded heavily. "I agree. It's necessary for the future of Rōran. But—it will be hard on you Taiichi."

"It's my duty," Taiichi said calmly. "Then, Your Majesty, please summon all those who know the truth."

After a while, once all those in the know had gathered, Taiichi stepped forward and explained the situation to everyone. With the Queen's order in place, everyone had no choice but to agree.

"Please relax and do not resist. This seal will only affect specific parts of your memories and will not affect others."

He Hand Seals, centered on Taiichi, and a powerful spiritual wave emanated from it, while a ring of Sealing Talisman spread out from beneath his feet.

Before anyone could react, the runes rapidly contracted and quickly entered everyone's bodies.

Everyone shuddered slightly, their eyes momentarily dazed, before regaining their clarity.

Memories of Urashiki, Naruto, Yamato, and related details are separated and blurred by a strong and ingenious mental barrier, leaving only the "complete" memories of Anrokuzan's rebellion, the loss of control of the Dragon Vein, and the eventual cessation of hostility by the Konoha Ninja.

Taiichi slowly withdrew his hand, his face growing even paler.

"Alright," he said, his voice tinged with barely perceptible weakness, "Let everyone leave."

The Queen nodded and waved to the crowd. Although they looked confused, they obeyed her command and left the room one by one.

"Your Majesty, the last one is the Dragon Vein."

"Your Excellency Taiichi, Rōran will never forget the kindness of Konoha." The Queen bowed deeply again, this time with heartfelt gratitude and a sense of relief.

"Don't you need to rest a bit more? You don't look too well."

"The sealing should be done sooner rather than later."

Taiichi forced himself to stay alert; he didn't want any more strange or unusual things to arrive in this space-time through the Dragon Vein.

"All right!"

Guided by the Queen, they once again arrived at the depths of the former royal palace ruins, now a massive sinkhole, at the heart of the Dragon Vein.

The queen placed her hands on the Dragon Vein and chanted the secret incantation of the Rōran royal family, guiding the power of the Dragon Vein.

Taiichi, standing to the side, activated Sage Mode once more, forming incredibly complex hand seals and using Senjutsu Chakra in conjunction with Sealing Talisman.

"Eight Trigrams Nine Dragons Prohibition Seal!"

With Taiichi, the last huge golden rune was imprinted into the core of the Dragon Vein.

The entire underground space trembled slightly, and the previously calm Dragon Vein energy completely subsided, as if it had fallen into an eternal slumber.

After doing all this, Taiichi swayed and was caught by the quick-thinking Kakashi. Continuously using high-intensity Sealing Jutsu had taken a heavy toll on him.

"We should go back," Taiichi said to the Queen, looking at the Dragon Vein that had been completely sealed away.

The Queen looked at them, her eyes filled with complex emotions, which ultimately culminated in a blessing. "We are eternal friends, and the gates of Rōran will always be open to you."

Taiichi and the other two completed their final mission handover, bid farewell to the Queen and Rōran, who were gradually rebuilding their homeland, and embarked on their journey back to Konoha.

Kakashi Earth Flow silently, his expression hidden behind his mask.

This mission was too bizarre, especially knowing some of the future events, which made him even more worried about Obito's situation.

Lin felt a lingering fear mixed with a strong determination. This mission made her acutely aware of the insignificance of her own power.

In a true battle of the strong, she didn't even have the right to intervene. Her desire to protect her companions had never been stronger, and her thirst for becoming stronger had never been more urgent.

She needs to further refine her Medical Ninjutsu, and even—seek new avenues of power.

Taiichi walked at the front, his steps seemingly steady, but his heart was far from calm.

The world's developments have far exceeded the plot in his mind, and the appearance of Urashiki Otsutsuki is even more beyond his comprehension.

There are still many more powers beyond the limits in this world, and my current strength is far from sufficient.

Taiichi gazed into the distance, exhaled softly, and his eyes became incredibly profound. His journey ahead was still very long.

When Taiichi's golden-white Super Fire Jade Rasengan collided violently with Urashiki's purple Dragon Palace energy pillar in the underground space of Rōran, it unleashed a unique wave that far exceeded the Kage Level and even touched the level of the Six Paths. This was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, and its ripples instantly spread throughout the entire Ninja World, alarming many beings hidden in the shadows.

Inside the moon, in a vast space completely different from the Ninja World, floats a magnificent palace complex.

This place is inhabited by the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, who have guarded the seal on the moon for generations, watching over the Earth and following the teachings of their ancestors.

However, a thousand years have long since caused this once-closed ethnic group to split apart.

At this moment, inside the core observation hall, a huge sphere made of pure Chakra is flashing a dazzling red light.

Inside the sphere, the final scene of that earth-shattering collision beneath Rōran is clearly reflected:

That devastating energy burst, the signature Chakra fluctuations of Urashiki Otsutsuki, and that fleeting glimpse of the golden Rinnegan!

"Warning! Extremely high-energy Chakra reaction detected!"

"Energy Characteristic Analysis - Confirmed! Target matches the characteristics of Celestial Being!"

"Residual spatiotemporal anomalies detected! Highly coincident with the target energy burst point!"

The chilling reports echoed through the hall, striking like thunder in the hearts of every Otsutsuki member present.

The member of the Main Family responsible for monitoring turned deathly pale instantly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

"Celestial Being —they've really come!" A Main Family exclaimed, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with the fear of his ancestors' prophecy coming true. "Such powerful energy fluctuations... they've really come!"

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire interior of the moon.

Panic, shock, and disbelief spread among the Lunar Otsutsuki Clan.

The dying words of our ancestor Hamura still echo in our ears: Guardian Ninja world and be wary of the invasion of the Otsutsuki from beyond the heavens.

Now, the prophesied enemy has suddenly appeared in the Ninja World without any warning.

Although this "vanguard" was eliminated by a ground-based being, once is never enough, and who knows when the next celestial being will arrive in the Ninja World.

However, after this panic subsided, the previously discordant Main Family and Branch Families of the Lunar Otsutsuki Clan quickly erupted into even greater conflict.

"Did you see that?!" The father of Otsutsuki Toneri, the leader of the Branch Family, a middle-aged man with a resolute face but sinister eyes, slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, his voice echoing throughout the emergency meeting.

"This is the threat we've always been wary of: the Otsutsuki from outer space!"

You have seen their power! A single individual has caused such destruction! If we wait any longer, only annihilation awaits!

Have you all forgotten the dying words of our ancestor, Hamura?

He looked around at the clansmen with their varied expressions, especially those members of the Main Family who looked worried and fearful. His voice suddenly rose and became inflammatory.

"The Main Family's weakness and pedantry will only lead us to our doom! To follow that ridiculous idea of 'peaceful coexistence' with insects on the ground?"

Look at them! Haven't they destroyed the Ninja World enough with their endless battles? Expecting them to fight against the Otsutsuki from beyond the heavens? That's just wishful thinking!

"Katsuya is right!" A Branch Family member immediately echoed loudly, "We are descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, and we follow our ancestral teachings. If people on earth violate the way of the ninja, we will eliminate them."

We've given them so many years, but they've never changed at all.

Now that a powerful enemy is approaching, we should rule the Ninja World. Only by uniting the power of the entire Ninja World can we have the strength to fight against this extraterrestrial enemy!

"Domination? Integration?" a Main Family retorted angrily, pointing to the massive sinkhole ruins of Rōran in the surveillance footage. "What do you think that is? How could the people on the ground so easily accept your rule?"

Cooperating with Earthlings, sharing intelligence, and jointly researching methods to combat the extraterrestrial enemy is the right path! Rashly seizing power will only lead to greater chaos and internal strife, playing right into the enemy's hands! Hamura's dying wish was to protect, not conquer!

"Protect? Protect a bunch of ants who can't even control their own destiny?" Katsuya Otsutsuki scoffed, a cold glint in his eyes. "Hamura is merciful, but times have changed!"

Faced with annihilation, mercy is the greatest cruelty! Only absolute power can bring absolute order! Only absolute power can make the power of the entire Ninja World work for us! Main Family, you have been corrupted by the weak thinking of the people on Earth!

"Nonsense! You are the ones who are blinded by power and ambition!" The elder of the Main Family trembled with rage.

"No! This is the realization of seeing reality!" Katsuya's voice was resolute and unwavering. "Since our paths diverge, we will not work together! The Main Family, you have blocked the only path to survival and strength!"

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Doves and Hawks, the Main Family and the Branch Family —two completely different ideologies are like fire and water.

Faced with the pressure of an "enemy from outer space," the taut string finally snapped with a "bang"!

The Main Family and the Branch Family separated.

"Pass down the order to accelerate the construction of the Giant Tenseigan! Dedicate all Byakugan to it. We must eliminate the Main Family and unify the Ninja World before the large-scale invasion of the extraterrestrial enemies."
