Chapter 336 The Past!!
"Is this time travel?"
Uzumaki Naruto calmly watched the scene before him, as if he was seeing a scene from Doraemon when he was a child.
Shattered silver-white light, with clocks faintly visible flashing.
It was also as if he saw time flowing backward.
The modern world's imagery shifted and flowed, arriving in the past.
That sense of fragmentation was unsettling.
"Yes, this is time travel. It is a forbidden power; only gods can control time."
Li's voice echoed: "Even among treasures, I am one of the best."
"Then how did you fall into the sea?"
Li: "..."
Can we not have a good conversation?
If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute.
Damn it!!!
Uzumaki Naruto ignored Li and looked at the space. After perceiving everything within the space, Uzumaki Naruto revealed a mysterious smile and thought to himself, "As expected."
He found that he could still travel to the Dragon Ball World through space.
It was very magical, and it also made him realize that space's priority was even above this time-space travel.
Even now, Uzumaki Naruto still hadn't figured out the true nature of this space or its upper limits.
But it didn't matter.
He only needed to know that this space could allow him to continuously grow stronger.
This journey to the past world should be a parallel timeline, and his reason for going was naturally to experiment.
"We're here!"
Li suddenly spoke.
Uzumaki Naruto looked up and, sure enough, saw a silver-white void appearing ahead. Uzumaki Naruto felt a slight pull.
With a whoosh... Uzumaki Naruto landed.
Looking around, the forest was lush and verdant. Not far away, Konoha Village was faintly visible.
"Such a familiar smell. I suddenly remembered Obito again."
"A familiar Village, I see it again."
Uzumaki Naruto sighed, and Li's face drooped: "I need to gather strength, which will take about one or two months. Don't you dare die."
Are you kidding?
Uzumaki Naruto stared at Li with a strange expression.
You could shatter, and I still wouldn't die.
Li had already gone dormant and couldn't see Uzumaki Naruto's expression.
Uzumaki Naruto also paid no mind, casually tossing it into his backpack and storing it with a universal capsule. Only then did he take step after step towards Konoha Village.
With each step he took towards Konoha Village, he felt a magical change.
It seemed,
something there was attracting him.
Uzumaki Naruto pondered, deep in thought, and soon a thought formed.
"Interesting!"
Uzumaki Naruto grew interested and soon arrived at Konoha Village. Following the familiar yet strange path, he reached the old apartment building.
Looking up, the attraction had reached its peak.
At the same time,
With a creak, a small Uzumaki Naruto pushed open the door, walked into the corridor, and leaned over the railing to look down.
Their gazes met.
A wonderful change seemed to occur.
A gentle breeze swirled, silently lifting fallen leaves.
An Anbu Ninja rubbed his eyes, focused his gaze, and saw Uzumaki Naruto leaning on the railing, his expression mature for a fleeting moment.
Looking closer, oh, it was just his imagination.
"How interesting!"
"Because of my arrival, I directly replaced the other me here. Indeed, I am the only one. Does this mean I can safely reach the Da Luo realm? Or is this just special for me?"
"Forget it, I don't understand!"
Uzumaki Naruto withdrew his thoughts.
Whether it was or not, it was always right to be careful.
Before reaching the peak, danger was still everywhere.
How did that saying go?
Invincible on earth, enemies come from heaven.
Invincible in heaven, enemies come from beyond heaven.
Invincible beyond heaven... Well!
There's always one for you; it's just nesting dolls.
This was a fact; the world was vast, and the universe even more boundless.
Yet, even so, the universe was divided into large and small, primary and secondary universes, which showed just how mysterious this world truly was.
He was still far from that point.
"Tsk, it seems I've returned to the past again."
Stretching, feeling the surging power in his body, Uzumaki Naruto's heart suddenly stirred. He subconsciously mimicked his predecessors and stroked his chin: "It seems Hinata here is still very young. If I were to date Hinata here, would the Hinata wandering the universe get jealous?"
He glanced at the Root members hiding in the shadows, Uzumaki Naruto ignored them.
With his current strength in this world, only swift and decisive action would do.
"First, I'll eat a bowl of ramen to reminisce about my childhood, then I'll deal with those people."
Uzumaki Naruto closed the door and leisurely went downstairs, following his childhood memories to Ichiraku Ramen's small shop.
Seeing the young Ayame and Teuchi, Uzumaki Naruto smiled and greeted them: "Uncle Teuchi, Sister Ayame, long time no see."
Ayame: "???"
Teuchi: "???"
The two were utterly bewildered, completely not understanding what Uzumaki Naruto was playing at.
Hadn't they just seen him yesterday evening?
And why did this Uzumaki Naruto look so cheerful and confident?
He even had an aura of a superior, more potent than the Third Hokage's. What was going on?
Teuchi narrowed his eyes, a flash of wisdom passing through them. He took a deep breath and began to make ramen expressionlessly.
He was certain this person was not Uzumaki Naruto but someone else entirely.
As for who?
Cough!
He was just a small fry; it was best not to get involved in the Ninja's schemes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Uzumaki Naruto smiled at this.
Teuchi was Teuchi; even as an ordinary person, he was so perceptive, immediately noticing something was off about him... After finishing his ramen, Uzumaki Naruto glanced at the sky and decided to give them one more night.
He needed to figure out what was going on here.
When he came here, he knew this was the world where he had met Minato and his wife in the Land of Rōran, and he had told them about it.
However,
why had things barely changed?
Where was Minato?
Where had Minato and his wife gone?
And Kakashi and the others, what were they doing now?
Logically, Uzumaki Naruto shouldn't be living in such hardship.
Something he didn't know about must have happened.
He needed to figure that out, and before that, he needed to deal with the Nine-Tailed first.
Inside the sealing space, the Nine-Tailed was sleeping.
There was nothing for it,
it had gotten used to all this.
In this dark space, locked in a cage, it could only hear the occasional sound of dripping water.
It served as a sleep aid.
It slept when it wanted to, and when it woke up, it would cause a ruckus in the space. Its life was just so dull and boring.
If only I could get out... The thought had just arisen when the Nine-Tailed suddenly felt something was amiss. It opened its eyes and vaguely saw a Minato.
No!
Minato didn't have a beard.
The Nine-Tailed suddenly jolted, stood up abruptly, and stared dumbfounded at the grown-up Uzumaki Naruto before it, its mind struggling to comprehend.
Who was this person?
He really looked...
