The Late-Arriving Cheat: Fragment of Heavenly Dimension

"I never imagined this would be a fragment of a Supreme Artifact!" Uchiha Tenshu's heart churned like a raging sea, his shock beyond measure. After the sacrifice of hundreds of lives, this companion who had arrived in the Ninja World with him had finally awakened.

Uchiha Tenshu's eyes widened, his gaze sharp as a blade, his spirit locked onto the fragment within his mind as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

The fragment emitted a faint glow, as if recounting its former glory. Even in its shattered state, the pressure it exuded left Uchiha Tenshu in awe.

"According to the information transmitted by this fragment, its name is the Gate of Heavenly Dimension! It was originally a Supreme Artifact specializing in infinite spacetime, but for some reason, it was shattered and completely destroyed. There is basically no possibility of repair..."

Uchiha Tenshu thought to himself, filled with disbelief. He had never imagined he would be so lucky to obtain such an artifact, only to find it eternally broken and beyond restoration.

"However, even so, this once-supreme spacetime artifact, even as a mere insignificant fragment, has provided me with immeasurable benefits."

"First, it has not only gifted me, its host, with extraordinary talent—granting me all five elemental affinities from birth—but also powerful potential in Yin and Yang releases, which can be developed with just a little cultivation. In other words, as long as I obtain the training methods for Yin-Yang Release, I will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Second, this Fragment of Heavenly Dimension is like a treasure vault with infinite potential. It comes with a space that can grow continuously. At the same time, this space can absorb spacetime fluctuations and Heavenly Luck from the outside world to perform a Spacetime Grasp. When different worlds drift within a certain proximity, it can reach out toward the nearest world and perform a 'grasp'."

"And this is actually the most basic ability of the original Gate of Heavenly Dimension, and the only active ability that remains!"

Thinking of this growing space, Uchiha Tenshu's heart pounded, a brilliant light flashing in his eyes as he instantly activated this miraculous ability.

With a single thought.

The next moment.

Uchiha Tenshu vanished from the spot like a bolt of lightning, appearing within a gray, hazy space.

Uchiha Tenshu began to survey his surroundings.

He saw that the entire space before him was like a circular stage a hundred meters in diameter. Though not large, its spatial integrity was incredibly formidable.

Through the meager information available, Uchiha Tenshu learned that the ninjas of this world, relying only on ordinary spatial abilities, could not step even half a step into his artifact space. Even his immediate surroundings were protected by a spatial barrier.

This allowed him to defend against sneak attacks from space-time users; at least with the current range of the fragment, no space-time user could pass within three meters of him.

Moreover, this ability acted as a passive defense when he needed it, and could be deactivated at will. Furthermore, anyone in this Ninja World attempting to use summoning techniques to move his space would require his consent.

With this unique advantage, he felt as if he were born in an invincible position; whenever he encountered danger he could not handle, he could quickly hide within this space.

Although this space did not belong to the Ninja World and relied on its own internal logic—meaning that once he entered and exited, he would reappear exactly where he had left, limiting his ability to use it for travel—it was already a powerful means of self-preservation.

"What a pity! If it were the Gate of Heavenly Dimension in its prime, it would possess far more than just a complete supreme world-space."

"It was more like a massive portal connecting infinite dimensions and infinite spacetime, capable of opening paths to any world at will, leaving coordinates in those worlds, and continuously harvesting their resources to achieve its own infinite growth."

"No matter how far away those worlds drifted in the corners of spacetime, the Gate of Heavenly Dimension could reach them instantly like a bolt of lightning. It was like a super-navigator in the universe, capable of finding and reaching any target accurately to absorb the resources of infinite worlds."

"However, it is regrettable that the Gate of Heavenly Dimension has lost its former brilliance. Even though this space continues to grow, it cannot repair the damage to the Gate itself or restore it to its prime state."

"After all, once a Supreme Artifact of this level is shattered, it is permanently irreparable. Fortunately, although the source is missing, its inherent properties can still be utilized occasionally once the conditions are met!"

Thinking of the Spacetime Grasp—the only active ability left by the fragment—Uchiha Tenshu felt a surge of excitement.

But fortunately, Uchiha Tenshu knew that now was not the most appropriate time; he would have to wait until later to act.

"Not to mention, as a Supreme Artifact, it possesses more than just these abilities! It also holds powerful passive effects: shielding the host from being divined by any ability, and locking the host's timeline so that no one can track them!"

Regarding these two passive abilities, Uchiha Tenshu was overjoyed and felt a sense of relief.

He knew that ever since he arrived in this Naruto World, beyond his growing ambition, he had felt constant unease and threats from the dangers of this world.

Not to mention the various dangers brought by wars between ninjas, which kept one in a constant state of mortal crisis. There was also the extraterrestrial Otsutsuki Clan, who intended to plant a God Tree on this planet to harvest everything it had to offer.

This was a danger he could not avoid as long as he intended to survive and maintain ties in this world.

He might even have to resist.

Once he disrupted the plans of the Sage of Six Paths, it meant destroying the plan to treat this planet as a farm for harvesting. In doing so, he would naturally become the enemy.

Even more troublesome was the Sage of Six Paths' ally in the Ninja World—the Great Toad Sage—who possessed a staggering ability: the power to foresee different futures at any time and place.

This meant that as long as the possibility of becoming an enemy existed, the Great Toad Sage could foresee it in advance, take action in the present, and nip him in the bud.

Facing such a terrifying ability, Uchiha Tenshu had realized the danger long ago. To avoid being targeted by the Great Toad Sage's prophecies, he had specifically implanted a subconscious suggestion in himself: never think about becoming an enemy of the Great Toad Sage or the Sage of Six Paths.

The purpose of this was clear: to prevent the Great Toad Sage's prophecy from capturing the exact moment he harbored hostile intent, thereby preventing the enemy from discovering his potential threat and taking measures to avoid his own prophecies.

After all, no matter how powerful the Great Toad Sage's prophetic ability was, it was ultimately based on current actions and circumstances.

It was impossible to predict things beyond the scope of one's own ability.

For instance, if the Great Toad Sage's ability were truly that strong, the Otsutsuki Clan would never have been able to descend upon Earth.

If he could truly foresee everything.

How could the ancient demons, monsters, gods, and Buddhas have failed to prepare in advance, only to have their homes stolen by Kaguya Otsutsuki?
