Actually Traveling Through Time (4 and 1 Mega Chapter)

Thanks to his advanced tracking skills from later generations, Ren finally completed the first step and located the enemy.

Whether it's Super Gravity Space or Kamui Space, these Dōjutsu spaces have one thing in common.

That means that even in the harshest environments, living people can survive, which is not much different from the Shinobi World.

In short, these spaces, like the Shinobi World, are part of the Impure World.

For Ren, the next step is relatively simple.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ren directly opened the gate to the Pure Land.

At this time, the Pure Land had been baptized by the Hellfire and had become Pure Land in name and in reality.

Ren harvested the souls of the entire Pure Land without the previous flurry of activity, thanks to his prior preparation.

To avoid awakening the Rinnegan and lowering his fashion value, Ren went to great lengths.

After carefully sensing the Pure Land, Ren headed straight for his destination.

"This is it!"

Ren silently recited in his heart.

Ren then immediately activated dimensional teleportation.

The next moment, Ren, back in the Shinobi World, looked around.

Still at sea!

After sensing the mark with his eyes closed, Ren opened them again.

They ran away?

No, that's not right!

It feels like returning to Pure Land.

Ren had no intention of giving up halfway and immediately returned to the Pure Land.

After reaping a batch of Pure Land souls, the sheer number of Ren 'Hellfire can only be described as terrifying.

Dimensional teleportation has also become easier, perhaps not as fast as Kamui, but not much faster.

Back in the Pure Land Ren sensed his surroundings and began to survey his surroundings.

Not here again!

It feels like I've returned to the Shinobi World?

Shinobi World, Pure Land, Shinobi World, Pure Land...

After several attempts and keeping his senses constantly active, Ren finally confirmed it.

The Sage of Six Paths reside neither in the Pure Land nor in the Impure World.

Instead, they were squeezed into a remote corner between two worlds.

He opened the dimensional gate, loaded the strongest template Surtur, and concentrated all his power to create a rift in space.

Ren stared speechlessly at the spatial rift that was only a finger's width wide and lasted for a mere instant.

Ren, after being a Muggle, did not find himself in a helpless situation.

Ren had anticipated this worst-case scenario before he even took action.

Based on speculation, his ability to traverse dimensions, combined with Kakashi's Kamui ability to distort space, theoretically allows him to go anywhere.

Without wasting any time, Ren contacted Shisui and asked him to bring Kakashi over.

Another sea area.

Kaguya showed no pity after the Sage of Six Paths left.

They directly seized all of Nagato's Chakra.

As for the Rinnegan, it was now completely grayish-white, and at first glance it looked like the Byakugan.

A closer look reveals that Nagato's only remaining eye has completely lost its sight.

Having taken a large dose of Kaguya, Kaguya's aura became even more terrifying. Her Eye of the Moon between her brows was half-open, revealing a scarlet Tomoe Rinnegan.

The restoration of her strength greatly enhanced Kaguya's senses.

Even without consciously perceiving it, one could vaguely sense another familiar aura.

Kaguya looked up at the sky; the dazzling sun had obscured all the starlight and hidden the moon.

Kaguya was able to accurately sense the moon, where a familiar presence resided.

Hamura...

Ignoring Nagato, who was floating on the sea surface as if he were about to die at any moment, Kaguya directly opened a pixel portal.

Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Target: The Moon!

Orochimaru stared at the pitch-black portal that had appeared out of nowhere and shouted.

"Shiro, contact Ren- kun and tell him we're in big trouble!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The cool and commanding Kaguya was already floating in front of Orochimaru.

"Hamura's successor..."

Kaguya immediately realized that the person in front of her was not her son, Hamura.

However, before the address could be completed, Kaguya had already noticed the inconsistency between Orochimaru's body and soul.

"How dare you covet the body of my descendant! Die!"

With that, Kaguya waved her hand.

[Divine Vacuum Strike!]

The Hyuga Clan's Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm can be considered a weakened, beggar's version of the Divine Vacuum Strike.

However, the power of the Divine Vacuum Strike is incomparable to that of the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, and it is not even a larger version of the Divine Vacuum Strike.

In terms of presentation, it is closer to the Evening Elephant after Kai opens the Eight Gates in the original work.

It is simply more refined than the Evening Elephant.

I did covet your power before, but I'm different now.

Furthermore, this is not the body of your descendant, but a clone that I painstakingly cultivated!

Orochimaru, who had no way to express his suffering, had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting for his death.

They squeezed the potential of the Giant Tenseigan without any regard for the cost.

One by one, the Byakugan fell from beneath the Giant Tenseigan.

These Byakugan seemed to be cast in cement, devoid of any luster or life.

After exhausting all the power of the Tenseigan, plus the full potential of dozens of Byakugan.

Kaguya's casual attack finally vanished without a trace.

The reason she didn't continue attacking wasn't because Kaguya hadn't fully recovered or wasn't strong enough.

Instead, Kaguya sensed a familiar presence once again.

It wasn't a clone from Toneri, but rather from Orochimaru's soul when he made his move.

Kaguya was certain she had seen Orochimaru before, but couldn't recall it at the moment.

"Who are you? Have we met before?"

Orochimaru was taken aback by Kaguya's question, but then he understood.

Just as he was about to answer, Black Zetsu interrupted.

"Mom, this is Orochimaru, around fifty years old. He couldn't possibly have met you before. He just stole the descendant of that traitor Hamura, so he's showing you around..."

"Hmm..."

Faced with Black Zetsu's incessant chatter, Kaguya promptly silenced him.

He then looked at Orochimaru again, waiting for his answer.

Orochimaru simply spread his arms wide, indicating that he posed no threat.

"Thump!"

A thud was heard as Orochimaru's true form sat up from the table beside him.

Regardless of his appearance, after Orochimaru returned to his own body, the true energy within him emitted a unique fluctuation.

"It's you! The voyeur."

Kaguya immediately recognized Orochimaru, her memories instantly returning to two thousand years ago.

At that time Orochimaru and Rasa, whose bodies were filled with true energy—the high-quality Chakra that Kaguya mentioned—left a very deep impression on Kaguya.

Firstly, Kaguya was relatively weak at that time, and secondly, their Chakra was truly unique.

"Yes, it's been a long time. Should I call you the Rabbit Goddess or Kaguya?"

"Call me Kaguya."

Kaguya is undoubtedly a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki Clan, but perhaps the God Tree consumed too many people.

After consuming the Chakra Fruit, Kaguya was corrupted by humans.

Besides fear, she possessed all other emotions, the seven emotions and six desires of humankind.

Aside from fear, other emotions are of no use for survival. Not to mention the Ōtsutsuki Clan, very few other intelligent beings in this universe possess many emotions.

Logically, after Kaguya recognized Orochimaru, she should have immediately attacked and killed him.

Perhaps it was because Orochimaru was too weak, or perhaps it was because Kaguya had crossed paths with Orochimaru when she was weak.

For some reason, Kaguya didn't have any intention of killing Orochimaru; in fact, she was secretly pleased.

Immortality is both a blessing and a curse.

Compared to most ninjas in the Shinobi World, Kaguya is more like a human.

He became curious about Orochimaru.

"Would you mind catching up with me?"

Kaguya toned down her imposing aura; her long hair, no longer waving, fell straight down.

The expression on his face was no longer as cold and unapproachable as an iceberg.

As her face softened, it exuded a faint sadness and an unspeakable loneliness.

Orochimaru, who seemed even weaker than she had been two thousand years ago, Kaguya a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Good!"

Two thousand years ago, Kaguya, though still a naive girl, was a carefree Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Without emotions, there are no worries; there is only a mission.

Everything changed after he ate the Chakra Fruit.

Orochimaru and Kaguya.

"Hmm~"

"Ugh~ Ugh!"

Black Zetsu tried his best to warn Kaguya, but to no avail.

Ren, who was still waiting for Shisui and Kakashi to arrive, received Orochimaru's distress signal.

He closed his eyes and continued to sense, only to find that the Sage of Six Paths still showed no sign of moving.

After a moment's thought, Ren left a message on the spot, which soared into the sky.

In order to reach the moon as quickly as possible, Ren went all out.

Instead of choosing the lunar passage, Ren opted for the simplest and most direct method: flying directly there.

A streak of light flashed between the Earth and the Moon; with all his might, Ren couldn't afford to maintain precise control.

The overflowing, immense magical energy caused space itself to slightly distort.

This also allows Ren to move even faster.

Kaguya, who was talking to Orochimaru, frowned slightly.

A powerful aura is rapidly approaching.

Orochimaru was paying close attention to Kaguya's every move, was taken aback.

Orochimaru thought he had said something wrong, but then his heart settled down.

You're finally here, Ren- kun!

"Boom!"

Breaking through the lunar layer, Ren's figure appeared inside the Moon Palace.

Otsutsuki Kaguya!

Looking at Kaguya beside Orochimaru, Ren recalled his earlier guess and immediately reverted to his original form, a sunny smile spreading across his face.

"This must be Kaguya's ancestor. It's a pleasure to meet you, Uchiha Yushu!"

However, to Ren's surprise, Kaguya's reaction was quite strange.

When Ren first appeared, Kaguya seemed unusually nervous and even subtly shielded Orochimaru behind her.

However, after Ren used his "friendship" skill, Kaguya just stared at Ren blankly.

That look in his eyes seemed to want to devour Ren.

Seeing Kaguya's obviously abnormal behavior, Ren was somewhat puzzled.

In the original Kaguya was indeed momentarily stunned by Naruto's Reverse Harem Technique.

But it shouldn't take that long, especially since Ren off yet!

Could Kaguya and Natsuri's relationship be deeper than we thought?

After making a guess in his mind, Ren continued speaking.

"Ancestor Kaguya, I need your help with something."

"Presumably, Ancestor Kaguya is unaware that a terrifying being is plotting a massive conspiracy. If it succeeds, all living beings in the Shinobi World, including yourself, will utterly lose their future!"

Ren rapport, first appealing to emotions and then reasoning with him.

Before he could figure out Kaguya's opinion of the Sage of Six Paths, Ren didn't even mention Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's name.

"Undoubtedly, we stand on the same side..."

Before Ren could continue speaking, Kaguya, as if she had just come to her Kaguya, suddenly smiled at Ren.

"I agree!"

???

Ren stared blankly at Kaguya's Kaguya for a moment before finally understanding what Kaguya saying.

"Kaguya, you've agreed?"

"That's right, whatever you want to do, I agree and will do everything in my power to help you!"

For a moment, Ren fell silent.

Thinking of a certain guess he had made before, Ren asked.

"Is it because of Natsuri?"

Kaguya nodded, then shook her head.

Then, Kaguya, her smile unchanged, slowly walked towards Ren.

As she approached, Kaguya's figure gradually shrank until she was the same height as Ren.

Then Kaguya extended her fair and white right hand to Ren.

With this familiar setup, Ren naturally understood what to do.

Without hesitation, Ren extended his right hand and shook hands tightly with Kaguya.

Two figures appeared on the sea.

This is it.

After looking around, Shisui quickly found the message left by Ren.

After checking everything together with Kakashi, the two exchanged a glance and then waited.

Suddenly, Shisui spoke up.

"Kakashi- senpai, excuse me for a moment!"

My brief apology at Shisui was truly just that—a brief moment.

He disappeared from the Shisui for less than two seconds, and then reappeared.

Unlike before, this time Shisui was carrying a person who was barely breathing on his shoulder.

It was Nagato, whom no one cared about.

After being drained by Kaguya, Nagato's body did not become emaciated.

After all, it once combined the Tailed Beast Chakra, plus the Rinnegan and the modifications made to its body after the Sage of Six Paths descended.

This allowed Nagato to stubbornly continue living, much like Obito in the original story.

"Has the Lord Hokage already defeated Black Zetsu?"

Kakashi asked after Shisui reappeared.

"This isn't Black Zetsu, it's Nagato. Black Zetsu has already left, and it seems he took the Rinnegan with him."

As he spoke, Shisui lifted Nagato's head.

He showed Kakashi an empty eye socket and a grayish-white eyeball.

Kakashi understood, and then asked.

"What should we do? Keep him with us?"

Shisui shook his head.

"Ren definitely still has a mission. Leave him here and take him back with you or inform Jiraiya- senpai!"

Shisui clearly knew about Nagato's relationship with Jiraiya, as well as Black Zetsu's possession of Nagato's body.

Thankfully, it was Shisui who discovered it. If it were any other Konoha Ninja, they wouldn't care whether you were being manipulated or not; they would have finished you off as soon as they discovered Nagato.

Even someone as kind as Shisui would only offer a helping hand at most, provided it didn't interfere with their own affairs.

However, Shisui and Kakashi waited and waited, but Ren, who had left a message saying he would "return in a little while," never came.

Two figures, one on the left and one on the right, placed their hands on either side.

[God - Chibaku Tensei!]

Then came endless darkness.

Ren is viewing the events of the past from Kaguya's perspective.

"Holy shit!!!"

Am I dead?

Where is my body?

Is hell just pitch black?

"It's like I've lost all my senses, leaving only my thoughts!"

"..."

"Elder?"

A thought arose.

"Who?"

Who is it?

"Where are you?"

Three questions followed in quick succession.

"If you are not the Grand Elder, then why do you possess such a wondrous object?"

"Yes, you must be the chosen one the Grand Elder is looking for."

A thought was born from a consciousness, as if it were murmuring to itself.

"Who are you? Stop playing tricks!"

The next moment, a message was transmitted from consciousness.

"I am Otsutsuki Kaguya, you can call me Kaguya. I'm not pretending to be a ghost, this is the inside of the Hagoromo seal."

"You're Otsutsuki Kaguya, so what about me, the Crown Prince? I never thought I'd run into a Hokage fan even after I'm dead!"

"Miss, how did you die?"

"I didn't die, I was just sealed away."

I don't know how long it will take—maybe a year, maybe two, maybe ten or a hundred years.

"So, I've traveled through time!"

"What an unlucky guy. Transmigrating into Hokage isn't so bad, but why are other characters either the Crown Prince or Uchiha Sasuke? Even the worst ones could be the Uchiha Clan Hyuga Clan."

"I'd accept being a commoner, but someone like me, who transmigrated into a consciousness and even into the Chibaku Tensei."

"Only the one who faced the Infinite Tsukuyomi directly after transmigrating can compare!"

"But other people who transmigrate and face the Infinite Tsukuyomi are enjoying themselves, while I'm suffering here."

"Does Your Highness also know about Infinite Tsukuyomi? What is this 'Crown Prince Uchiha Sasuke' you mentioned? Could you tell me about him?"

"Of course, no problem, Miss Kaguya. This all started with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack on Konoha..."

"Young master, what is the Nine-Tails? Is it similar to the Ten-Tails?"

"Yes, that's about right, Kaguya, don't interrupt me!"

"Yes, young master!"

"... Then the Crown Prince and Uchiha Sasuke sealed away the evil Otsutsuki Kaguya once again, and the Shinobi World entered a new era!"

After a long while, there was no response.

"Kaguya, don't be angry, just say something! This is just a story, don't take it seriously!"

"Kaguya? Kaguya, Kaguya...!"

"Don't be angry, let me tell you a story about a Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. It goes like this..."

"... Little Leaf has finally escaped the sea of suffering,"

"Kaguya!!!"

Panic and despair began to spread.

As if driven to madness, consciousness began to gradually fall into stillness.

"Young master, I am here."

"Kaguya!!!"

An overwhelming sense of joy began to spread within the seal.

Were you angry before, Kaguya?

"No, my body died completely before, and my consciousness became somewhat hazy, but I can still hear the stories you tell, young master."

"That's good, Kaguya. You won't disappear anymore, will you?"

"Won't!"

"Haha, okay, Kaguya, what story do you want to hear?"

"The Story of Little Leaf!"

"Okay, let's tell the story of Little Leaf. It all started in Kowloon..."

"This has already been discussed; it should be said that it begins with opening up the sea of suffering."

"..."

"... Han Paopao has finally become a true immortal!"

"Young master, do these worlds really exist? I long to visit them someday."

"No problem, leave it to me. Judging from this, I seem to be the protagonist. Kaguya, you can just follow me from now on!"

"Yes, young master."

"Kaguya, my consciousness is fading away. It seems I'm not the protagonist after all."

"Do you remember the story I told you at the very beginning, Kaguya? It was all true."

"Remember, once you're out there, you must listen to Black Zetsu. As long as you don't act recklessly, it'll be like a dragon charging in your face—it'll be hard to lose!"

"Young Master..."

Kaguya's consciousness sensed that the consciousness that had accompanied her for who knows how long was about to dissipate.

She muttered a sentence to herself.

Elder, I'm so sorry!

Ding! System activation has begun. Host death detected. Emergency plan activated!

"Is this death? It's no different from being sealed away!"

"Young master, your consciousness has not dissipated."

"Kaguya, you're dead too. No, you're immortal."

"So, my system is the rare treasure your Grand Elder speaks of, and your Ōtsutsuki Clan's frenzied colonization, besides planting trees, is also a search for rare treasures for your Grand Elder?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"Then why did you give it back to me when you clearly took it? Little Huihui, you're not reluctant to part with me, are you?"

"That's right, young master, I can't bear to part with you, I don't want you to disappear."

"But my system is too weak. It can only keep my consciousness alive by self-destructing modules so that I don't completely disappear. Living like this is so meaningless."

After a long silence.

Kaguya spoke again.

"Perhaps I have a way to get you out!"

"Real?!"

"The acceleration system is self-destructing? No problem, let me check. Just leave the [mission] for last. Let's begin, Kaguya!"

"Young master, it's not just your system that needs it..."

"What?! We need to extract a portion of my consciousness as a consumable item to pass through the seal, to prevent being completely erased?"

"That's right. Even if the seal is only aimed at me, your consciousness is so weak that it would probably be wiped out in an instant if no protection is taken."

"Is it too weak? But Kaguya, aren't you very strong? Why don't you just help me out?"

"My power can only be injected into your system, young master. Only with the system's protection can it possibly bypass the seal, but it still can't be too much. To the system, both the seal and my power are threats!"

"Is there no other way?"

"No!"

Kaguya's consciousness answered with absolute certainty.

"Then extract the consciousness from my world!"

"But young master, according to you, without memories of your past life, you won't survive more than three episodes."

"This is my decision, I make my own decisions, you just need to listen to me!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Well then, little Huihui, the young master is leaving. Wait for me, I will definitely rescue you!"

As the system accelerated its self-destruction, it carried a weakened consciousness through the seal.

"You must survive, young master!"

Inside the seal, Kaguya's consciousness gradually fell into slumber.

His contact with Kaguya was brief and fleeting.

Ren has figured out why Kaguya treats him differently.

They also understand why Natsuri was born with Chakra without any backdoors.

After reading it, Ren felt nothing; it was as if he were reading someone else's story.

After sorting through the information, Ren's smile faded, and he asked calmly.

"Ancestor Kaguya, how can you prove this story is true?"

While Ren believed it to be true, he was still not entirely certain.

Kaguya completely disregarded Ren's suspicions, opening her arms wide without any precautions.

"There should be some remnants of your system remaining in my body."

Upon hearing this, Ren decided to give it a try and once again used the method he had learned in his later years.

"Don't resist!"

"Yes, young master."
