#127 - Infinite parallel worlds! In the distant future, destroy the entire Konoha!
After observing the seal formation for only a moment.
Luo Fu confidently walked up to the trident kunai, took a deep breath, and grasped the kunai with one hand. Luo Fu's chakra then integrated into the seal.
As Luo Fu forcefully pulled out the trident kunai.
The ground beneath his feet immediately cracked with fine fissures. These cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire seal in a very short time.
Crack! Crack!!…
The sound of shattering was incessant.
Accompanied by the ground exploding, a bottomless abyss replaced the solid seal that had been there.
Within the bottomless abyss, the nearly tangible dragon vein chakra surged constantly, like magma suppressed for centuries within a volcano ready to erupt.
Whether it was Tsunade, or Pakura, Shizune Kato, and the others, they couldn't help but pale when they felt the dragon vein chakra.
In truth, the immensity of the dragon vein chakra was simply beyond their comprehension. It was as if the chakra of the entire world had been extracted and condensed together.
Even the tailed beasts, chakra lifeforms, were perhaps like a small puddle compared to the boundless ocean that was the dragon vein chakra.
Even the Nine-Tails, known for its infinite chakra, was like a little brother in front of the dragon vein.
"This… this is the dragon vein chakra? It's so vast?" Pakura exclaimed, "It's no wonder that the city of Roran is so prosperous in the boundless desert, building a nation in such a place. But, these so-called dragon vein chakra seem to be impossible to utilize?"
Luo Fu looked meaningfully towards the entrance of the dragon vein, and said, "Dragon vein chakra is indeed difficult to utilize, but it's not impossible. If we want to utilize the dragon vein chakra, we still need a key."
"Key?" A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Pakura's mind, and she blurted out, "You mean… the Queen of Roran? I remember there were records of Roran in the village back then. It seems that only the Queen of Roran and her blood descendants can utilize the dragon vein chakra."
For Pakura in the past, the Sand Village was a place that she needed to protect. Even if there were some shameful aspects, Pakura would choose to remain silent.
But now, she hated the Sand Village to the bone, and of course she wouldn't hide anything for the Sand Village.
With a bit of disdain and ridicule in her tone, she said, "Back then, after the Sand Village sensed the dragon vein chakra, it wanted to forcibly seize this place, and even move the entire Sand Village over to completely usurp it. However, it was directly manipulated by the Queen of Roran, who could control the dragon vein chakra, and was beaten into a sorry retreat. Only after learning the truth about the dragon vein chakra did the Sand Village completely give up its covetousness towards the dragon vein!"
"That's right." Luo Fu nodded in affirmation, and said, "The dragon vein chakra can indeed only be manipulated by the descendants of the Queen of Roran! However, that's under the circumstances that the dragon vein chakra is docile. Now that it's so violent, I'm afraid that even the only descendant of the Queen of Roran won't be able to appease it, right?"
The moment the words fell, Luo Fu stared at the direction of the entrance, and said, "Am I right? The former Queen of Roran, no, judging from the dilapidated state of Roran now, perhaps I should call you Sara."
Pakura and the others instantly felt a tightness in their hearts.
You must know that since they jumped from the chakra system of the Six Paths Sage to Luo Fu's side.
Whether it was the amount of chakra or the perception ability, etc., all aspects have been greatly improved.
But even so, they hadn't felt anyone appearing at the entrance of the dragon vein just now.
After Luo Fu's voice fell, there was only a moment of silence at the entrance, and then very quickly, a young girl with long crimson hair appeared nervously in front of everyone.
"You… who exactly are you people? Why do you want to undo the seal of the dragon vein?"
Originally, Sara only felt guilty towards the people of Roran, when those people of Roran had to go far away in order to survive.
Sara only dared to hide in the dark, but couldn't bear to come out and see them off in person.
But just when Sara was hiding in the dark, she was surprised to discover the arrival of Luo Fu and his group.
Roran itself was a self-sufficient small country, and the Queen of Roran had the power to manipulate the dragon vein.
This time, Sara was determined to protect Roran and its people at all costs.
It was just that after being called out by Luo Fu, Sara had to face these enemies who coveted the dragon vein.
"This is the bloodline of the Queen of Roran? The key that can manipulate the dragon vein chakra?" Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly.
"I… I'm not some key." Sara said sternly, "The dragon vein was sealed by the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, you… aren't you afraid of offending Konoha by doing this?"
"Little girl." Pakura glanced meaningfully at Tsunade next to her, and then said to Sara, "You've probably been in Roran all the time, and you don't know what's going on outside, right? The Fourth Hokage of Konoha has already died. The current Konoha doesn't even have time to recuperate, so how could it possibly start a war for a mere dilapidated Roran? You're going to be disappointed if you want to threaten us with Konoha."
"How… how is that possible!" Because of the deteriorating seal of the dragon vein, Sara had no intention of paying attention to the situation outside.
How could she know that Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage who personally sealed Roran, was already dead?
Too lazy to care about the little girl, gravity instantly pulled Sara to her in between Luo Fu's thoughts.
With a scream, Sara involuntarily came to Luo Fu's front.
Although she wanted to struggle, unfortunately, Sara, although she was the Queen of Roran and had the ability to manipulate the dragon vein chakra, she was only a weak girl. Not to mention having chakra, her physical strength and other aspects could not support her in dealing with Luo Fu's methods.
Helplessly pulled to the front by Luo Fu's gravity.
Sara's face was pale with tension, and she said, "You… what exactly do you want to do? I will never help you obtain the power of the dragon vein."
Luo Fu said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Although the dragon vein chakra is vast, what I want more is to figure out the essence of the dragon vein chakra, time travel."
"Time… time travel?" In Sara's mind, she couldn't help but think of that Konoha ninja boy with whiskers on his face and always a cheerful attitude.
"Naruto…" Sara subconsciously murmured softly.
But the name Naruto made Luo Fu's eyes light up instantly.
Although Naruto Uzumaki has indeed been born now, this contemporary reincarnation of Asura's chakra is now just a little kid who can't even speak clearly.
And Sara, as the Queen who has never left Roran, can say the name of the Konoha Nine-Tails Jinchuriki so clearly, which in itself proves that she has indeed been in contact with Naruto Uzumaki who came from the future and crossed time to the past.
You must know that in the mission of Roran, whether it was Naruto Uzumaki and others who came from the future, or Minato Namikaze and others of the present, in order not to affect the correct development of time, they chose to seal their memories after the mission was completed.
And Sara, the Queen of Roran, became the only one who slipped through the net.
"It seems that you have indeed been in contact with people from the future." Luo Fu said with certainty in his tone.
Tsunade on the side even trembled with excitement.
"You… you've seen the future Naruto Uzumaki?" From the moment Tsunade became a member of Luo Fu's chakra system, Luo Fu had never hidden from them the information he knew.
Of course, Luo Fu only told Tsunade and others about the general future, but he glossed over the more detailed process.
Luo Fu's explanation focused on Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, one being the reincarnation of Asura's chakra, and the other the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, rather than their future experiences.
Even so, Tsunade only knew that Naruto Uzumaki was just an infant in swaddling clothes.
However, Sara directly spoke Naruto's name. Doesn't this prove that the Dragon Vein chakra possesses the great power to travel through time?
"You know Naruto-kun? Could it be… are you also Konoha ninjas?" Sara didn't realize that her words were almost an affirmation of Tsunade's question.
"Luo Fu, quickly, think of a way." Tsunade looked at Luo Fu impatiently and said, "I want to use the power of the Dragon Vein chakra to… to save the regrets of the past."
"Don't rush." Luo Fu waved his hand and said, "Using the Dragon Vein chakra to directly attempt time travel has great uncertainty. My ability inherently possesses the power to interfere with time. Using the Dragon Vein chakra as a reference, I can master my own abilities faster and send you to the time point you want to go to more accurately, whether it's the past or the future!"
Tsunade suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"
"Don't you know that only the Queen of Roran has the ability to mobilize the Dragon Vein chakra?" Ye Cang said unhappily from the side.
"I…" Tsunade was stunned, and then her gaze instantly fell on Sara.
Sara mustered her courage, took a deep breath, and said, "Even… even if you are from Konoha Village like Naruto-kun, I will not help you. The power of the Dragon Vein is too dangerous. No one should covet such power. It will only bring disaster. It should be sealed here and not be used by anyone."
Tsunade's mind was now filled with her younger brother, Nawaki Senju. As for Dan Kato, since the indescribable event with Luo Fu, the shadow of Dan Kato had completely disappeared from her heart.
She couldn't even empathize with the feelings of that year anymore.
Upon hearing Sara say that the Dragon Vein chakra was too dangerous, Tsunade immediately said dissatisfiedly, "I don't care about that. Anyway, Roran is already in this state. Using the Dragon Vein might be able to restore it. You are the Queen of Roran, don't you care about your people at all?"
For Tsunade, the only obsession in her heart now was her former younger brother, Nawaki Senju.
You must know that if Luo Fu hadn't appeared, Tsunade would have even thought of asking Orochimaru to revive her brother and Dan Kato in the future, due to her inner obsession with Nawaki Senju and Dan Kato.
Now, although only the obsession with her brother remained, this obsession not only did not weaken in the slightest, but became even stronger.
Given the premise of truly being able to revive Nawaki and change the tragedy of the past, Tsunade simply wouldn't care about Roran.
As a ninja, Tsunade might have good intentions in her heart, but under the premise of her own obsession, she couldn't empathize with Sara at all.
Sara's expression instantly became unsightly.
To some extent, Roran's current situation was indeed caused by Sara single-handedly. Whether it was her initial tolerance of An Lushan's actions, or the subsequent decision to seal the Dragon Vein chakra, all allowed the people of Roran to bear this price.
Since the Dragon Vein was sealed, watching Roran decline day by day, one can imagine how the Queen Sara felt.
If Tsunade had only given the reason of using the Dragon Vein chakra to travel through time, then Sara would never have agreed.
After all, Roran's decline was directly related to this ability to travel through time. But if the Dragon Vein could be used safely, Roran might have a moment to rejuvenate.
Before, Sara did choose to seal the Dragon Vein because of its danger, but after seeing Roran's situation without the Dragon Vein for so long, Sara's thoughts also changed.
It must be admitted that Naruto Uzumaki's talk-no-jutsu was indeed terrifying, but it was not like Kotoamatsukami, which could fundamentally change a person's thinking.
The effect of Naruto Uzumaki's persuasion has now changed with the passage of time. After seeing the decline of Roran and the tragic end of the people, Sara's thoughts have also changed.
Her delicate face was full of struggle. After Sara bit her lip, she couldn't help but say sorry to the future Naruto in her heart.
For Sara, the Dragon Vein chakra might indeed be dangerous.
But for the sake of her country and her people, even the dangerous Dragon Vein chakra had to be used.
Without the Dragon Vein chakra, Roran would disappear, and those people would be displaced.
For the sake of Roran, for the sake of the people, even if the Dragon Vein chakra was dangerous, she had to find a way to use it again.
Taking a deep breath, Sara said, "I can help you, but you must also promise me that after it's done, you will help Roran and reuse the Dragon Vein chakra to revitalize my country!"
"No problem." Tsunade agreed without thinking.
Anyway, Sara's conditions could be left to Luo Fu later. As for whether Luo Fu could do it, that was another matter.
If it really couldn't be done, then she would just say sorry to Sara.
Don't think of Tsunade as some kind of saint. As a ninja, what she cares about and wants to protect is Konoha, is the Land of Fire.
During the Second Shinobi World War, as one of the main battlefields, the Rain Country, the Three Ninja and Konoha ninjas almost had to bear direct responsibility for the disasters and pain brought to the Rain Country.
And now, it was just Roran in the depths of the desert. She didn't want to deceive from the beginning, but only realized later that she couldn't do it.
With Sara's help, and with the power of the Roran Queen's bloodline, Sara quickly mobilized the Dragon Vein chakra.
The moment the Dragon Vein chakra surged.
Luo Fu clearly felt a fluctuation of time, as if it penetrated the past and present, reaching the distant future.
If time is a long river that flows endlessly, then the Dragon Vein chakra is like a special distortion point that allows life in the river to temporarily leave the long river and enter an uncertain past or future.
Yes.
Although the power of the Dragon Vein chakra can indeed allow people to go to the past or the future, this kind of time travel is actually uncertain, and even a slight difference can lead to great errors.
Just like, in the past, when Naruto and An Lushan and others came to the past Roran, the landing points between the two sides were actually several years apart.
You must know that when they were affected by the Dragon Vein chakra, An Lushan and Naruto Uzumaki and others were almost one after the other, and the difference between them could be completely ignored. Even so, the landing points were still several years apart. It can be seen that the Dragon Vein chakra is uncertain.
What made Luo Fu frown even more was that the power of the Dragon Vein chakra to travel through time completely came from chakra, which was different from Luo Fu's bloodline's ability to manipulate gravity.
However, because this bloodline superpower from the Marvel universe was localized in the ninja world, the ability of gravity was integrated into Luo Fu's Star Release chakra.
In other words, aside from gravity, if his Star Release chakra could imitate the Dragon Vein chakra, he might be able to achieve the same effect. However, without a doubt, the chakra that Luo Fu would need to consume to travel through time would definitely be terrifying to an unimaginable degree. Even if he squeezed dry the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, which is said to be infinite, he might not be able to provide enough chakra to travel through time.
Quickly comprehending this special fluctuation of the Dragon Vein chakra, Luo Fu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He seemed to have grasped the reason why the Dragon Vein chakra was so huge.
The Dragon Vein chakra itself has the power to penetrate time. The Dragon Vein chakra actually has an essence like the Great Luo in mythology, a proof of eternal proof.
Of course, when the Great Luo in mythology proves the fruit position, the past and the future are eternal and unchanging.
But the Dragon Vein is the opposite. The chakra presents a special equal imagination on the timeline.
For example, if the Dragon Vein chakra suddenly plummets like a tide at a certain point in time, then the chakra at other points in time will be diverted to the plummeting node through time.
Conversely, if the chakra surges at a certain point in time, it will also be diverted to other points in time.
The essence of the Dragon Vein chakra crossing the world is the flow of chakra on the timeline.
Whether it was Naruto Uzumaki or An Lushan and others, the process of their time travel was all caused by being wrapped in the chakra surging on the timeline and filling the past.
The only difference was that An Lushan was sent to a more distant past node, while Naruto Uzumaki was wrapped in chakra to a short time ago.
After understanding this, Luo Fu suddenly had a big idea. Could he simulate the Dragon Vein chakra with his own Star Release chakra to achieve this level?
}
If it could be done, although his strength wouldn't match that of a Mythical Great Luo, reaching the upper limit of eternal proof, it could guarantee a lower limit.
At any time, when his chakra is exhausted, he could draw upon chakra from past or future points in time to the present.
In that case, Luo Fu could achieve a state of near-infinite chakra.
Thinking of this possibility, Luo Fu became even more eager. His figure floated up under the influence of gravity, falling deeper into the Dragon Vein chakra.
"Hey," Tsunade exclaimed, seeing this, and said, "What are you doing? Take me with you!"
The moment she spoke, Tsunade recklessly jumped up without thinking, heading straight towards Luo Fu's direction.
Even Luo Fu didn't expect Tsunade to make such a brainless move. It could only be said that in Tsunade's heart, she cared too much about her younger brother, Nawaki Senju, and Luo Fu.
Wanting to save her brother, coupled with worries about Luo Fu testing the Dragon Vein chakra's ability to travel through time, made Tsunade jump down regardless of everything.
Seeing this, Luo Fu frowned.
What he didn't expect was that as Tsunade jumped down, Luo Fu felt that as Tsunade approached the Dragon Vein chakra, it was as if something on her could attract the Dragon Vein chakra.
The originally undulating, tide-like Dragon Vein chakra suddenly stirred up a huge wave of chakra, engulfing Luo Fu and Tsunade in an instant.
"Quick, aren't you able to control this Dragon Vein chakra? Quickly stop this Dragon Vein chakra!" Ebisu and Shizune Kato's voices were raised an octave in urgency.
"I'm sorry, although I can soothe the Dragon Vein to some extent, I can't control it," Sara said helplessly.
"Will Lord Luo Fu and Lady Tsunade be in danger?" Shizune Kato was most concerned about this.
Sara hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."
When Tsunade recklessly jumped into the Dragon Vein chakra, Luo Fu had no choice but to hug her.
But Tsunade seemed to have something special about her. As she approached the Dragon Vein, the undulating chakra instantly stirred up a frenzy. A huge, materialized chakra wave engulfed Luo Fu and Tsunade.
By the time the two of them came back to their senses,
the surrounding environment had completely changed.
The once desolate and dilapidated Roran now appeared to them as if it had undergone a long period of weathering and devastation.
In the ruined city, apart from the occasional scorpion crawling by and sand worms underground, there was no longer any life.
"Here… here is…" Tsunade looked around in panic, her brow filled with fear and unease.
Shooting Tsunade a glance, Luo Fu said, "Is there even a need to ask? Have you forgotten what our purpose was in coming to Roran?"
Her eyes widened instantly, and her eyes lit up. Tsunade eagerly said, "Are you saying that we traveled through time, and are now in the past or the future?"
"It can't be the past!" Luo Fu shook his head and said, "Would Roran, which could utilize the Dragon Vein chakra in the past, be such a dilapidated sight?"
"Then it's the future?" Tsunade waved her hand casually, not taking it to heart.
As long as it was proven that the Dragon Vein chakra could travel through time, even if they didn't go to the past this time but instead went to the future, they could just try a few more times.
"Then what time is it now?" Tsunade asked impatiently.
Luo Fu said, "We can only be sure it's the future, but the specific time is unclear. In the vast desert, even a single sandstorm can cause earth-shattering changes."
"Then let's go to Konoha and take a look first." Tsunade couldn't wait to reach out and pull Luo Fu to Konoha.
The moment Tsunade was about to grab Luo Fu, her hand seemed to pass through a phantom image, sweeping right through Luo Fu's body.
What made Tsunade even more terrified was that when her hand passed through Luo Fu's body, Luo Fu's body actually swayed with faint ripples and waves, like a fluid.
"This… what's going on?" Tsunade was immediately startled.
Luo Fu said with a strange expression, "My body seems to span two points in time, the past and the present. It neither exists in the past nor in the present. The me in front of you is just my consciousness descending here, so this… chakra figure appears. But in essence, I should have transcended the timeline. But…"
Frowning, Luo Fu said puzzledly, "But it seems… my situation is a little different."
Luo Fu's state at the moment was extremely special.
It was neither a flesh-and-blood body nor a pure chakra image. It was as if… his essence was detached from the present, but not truly transcending time.
It was a special semi-detached state. But it was rooted in two different points in time.
"Then what do we do?" Tsunade immediately became anxious. She was filled with regret.
"It's okay," Luo Fu explained. "I can feel that my state is only temporary. It's because of the tide of Dragon Vein chakra, which allows for time travel in a short period of time. Once the effect of the Dragon Vein chakra disappears, we will still return to the previous point in time."
Luo Fu's explanation wasn't very clear. At the very least, Tsunade only understood that Luo Fu's state could be restored.
Looking at Luo Fu worriedly, Tsunade said, "How long will we stay at this point in time?"
Luo Fu's own state was somewhat special, so it couldn't be used as a basis for judgment. But he could sense that the influence of the Dragon Vein chakra on Tsunade was constantly weakening.
According to his judgment, the time wouldn't exceed seven days at most.
After Luo Fu told Tsunade his judgment, Tsunade's expression immediately became tangled and hesitant.
Luo Fu smiled wryly, guessing Tsunade's dilemma at the moment.
"You want to go to Konoha, right?"
"Yes," Tsunade nodded and said, "Since we traveled through time, I would feel a little unwilling if we didn't go to Konoha."
"Then let's go!"
Tsunade was surprised and said, "In your current state, can you leave Roran?"
"Why not? My state is in terms of time, not space. Spatial movement won't have any impact on me."
"Are you sure?"
After receiving a definite answer from Luo Fu again, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. After identifying the direction, she directly headed towards Konoha with Luo Fu.
Entering the Land of Fire, just as they began to approach Konoha, a huge chakra descended from the sky, slamming heavily onto the earth in an instant.
And the location was officially where Konoha Village was located.
Tsunade's eyes widened all of a sudden.
After running wildly for a distance, Tsunade saw from afar that the Konoha Village in her memory was now a ruin of broken walls.
In an instant, burning with anger, Tsunade said angrily, "Damn it, who is it? How dare they destroy the village? What is the Hokage doing? And what are the people in the village doing?"
Seeing the person who descended from the sky, wearing the Akatsuki organization uniform with a black background and red clouds, and with chakra black rods that seemed like decorations on his cheeks and ears,
Luo Fu recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
Yahiko, the former founder of the Akatsuki organization, who had even fought against him under Nagato's control.
To be precise, in this state, he was already a manipulated corpse, and should be called Pain Tendo.
He didn't expect that the point in time that he and Tsunade had arrived at would be so coincidental. It would actually be when the Akatsuki organization attacked Konoha Village.
Especially since they had just felt the terrifying movement of the Super Shinra Tensei, which destroyed the entire village in an instant.
Luo Fu couldn't help but laugh at Tsunade's anger. Because he knew very well that the current Hokage of Konoha, if nothing unexpected happened, should be Tsunade.
However, what surprised Luo Fu was that if he had really come to the future, then with his influence, the Akatsuki organization and Konoha shouldn't have ended up like this.
But if this world was a future that hadn't been influenced by him, or rather, Uchiha Luo Fu simply didn't exist, then the situation would be interesting.
Because that would mean that the true function of the Dragon Vein chakra wasn't acting on the longitudinal timeline, but on the horizontal timeline, on infinite parallel worlds.
