"What's that?!" Tsunade stood nearby, staring in shock at the space-time vortex that had suddenly appeared.
Uchiha Sora said, "I've found a way back! At the other end of this space-time passage, I can sense a Flying Thunder God Mark I left behind! It must be our original world!"
Tsunade still looked stunned. Only after a long moment did delight spread across her face. "Really? Then we can go back now?"
Uchiha Sora nodded. "Yes, we can go back!"
Rustling sounds came from the surrounding area not far away.
The earlier disturbance had drawn a large number of snakes from Ryūchi Cave, and all of them were looking over curiously.
The White Snake Sage was among them. Her figure flickered, and she appeared before Uchiha Sora in the form of an elderly woman. "I never imagined you could gather natural energy to such a degree, much less open a space-time passage. Truly incredible."
"But the world at the other end of that passage is unknown. Don't enter it lightly," the White Snake Sage warned.
Uchiha Sora smiled faintly and told her the truth. "My world is on the other side. I never belonged here in the first place."
"Hmm? You're from another space-time?" The White Snake Sage was stunned.
Uchiha Sora turned to Tsunade. "We can finally go back now. Shall we?"
Tsunade trembled slightly at his words. At that moment, her feelings became strangely complicated.
An emotion she could neither describe nor explain stirred in her heart.
She had spent several months in this Warring States era, and those few months had changed her more than all the years before them!
Here, she had not only met her grandfather Hashirama and her great-uncle Tobirama, but also lived alongside so many members of the Senju Clan, witnessing its golden age
