A disorienting sensation washed over them, but with Orochimaru and Kakashi's strength, they quickly recovered.
"Orochimaru-sama, this doesn't seem to be the Shinobi World anymore..."
After sensing his surroundings for a moment, Kakashi realized that he and Orochimaru seemed to have arrived in another, entirely different spacetime!
"Indeed."
Orochimaru immediately surveyed the surrounding environment. It was still the setting of Ancient Loulan, and still a stretch of ruins.
After sensing the barrier on the ground, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they infused it with chakra, they could still return to their original world.
"Using this barrier and the Dragon Vein's power, we can go back."
Hearing Orochimaru say that, Kakashi relaxed considerably as well.
As long as they could return, that was enough.
"Let's go. Let's explore this world."
Knowing they could return at any time, the two of them felt much more at ease.
The Dragon Vein's power truly was miraculous. It was a force originating from the planet itself, and it was connected to other Dragon Veins across different spacetimes. That was the only way to explain why the Dragon Vein possessed such immense chakra.
"Judging by the environment, this is still the Land of Wind. Do you need me to gather some intelligence?"
After leaving Ancient Loulan, the two discovered that they were indeed in the Land of Wind. That made them both excited.
They should have arrived in a parallel spacetime!
This was not the first time Konoha had encountered something like this. Sasuke and Boruto had once come to Konoha, and Konoha had obtained a great deal of intelligence about the Shinobi World from Sasuke of another spacetime.
It could be said that Sasuke's intelligence had played a crucial role in Konoha's rapid development and its swift elimination of several enemies
