Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 466 Let's turn all the lies of the past into reality.

While everyone in the ninja world was being sucked into the void, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others who had entered the rift were unaware of what was happening outside.

"quick!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding his Vajra Staff, took the lead, followed closely by Onoki, Mei Terumi, and a group of Allied Shinobi, as they entered the second level of the underground palace.

The sight before them took everyone's breath away.

The second floor, even more spacious than the first, was filled with a strong stench of blood. The dome hung high, and the most striking feature was the majestic gate leading to the third floor.

Nagato stood silently before the giant gate, his back to them.

His figure appeared tiny in front of the giant gate, but a colossal figure sat cross-legged behind him.

The Demonic Statue of the Heretic!

The Gedo Mazo, having absorbed the five tailed beasts, opened its five eyes, and its chakra gushed into the tightly closed giant door.

Click! Click-click!

A sickening sound continued to echo as the giant door slowly opened inward.

A deep, cold aura emanated from the crack in the door.

"Stop him! Don't let him in!" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared, thrusting his Vajra Staff forward with all his might.

The rod grew longer and thicker at an astonishing speed, slamming straight into the back of the man's chest, who was standing with his back to him.

However, Nagato didn't even turn his head. Just as the Vajra Staff was about to hit him, the demonic statue of the Outer Path sitting behind him moved.

The massive right arm rose, its five fingers spread, and grabbed the front end of the Vajra Ruyi Staff. Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt an irresistible force coming from the other end.

Bang! !

The demonic statue of the Outer Path swung its hand that was holding the Vajra Staff, sending Hiruzen Sarutobi flying along with the staff, crashing heavily into the rock wall.

Boom!!
The third giant gate, having absorbed enough chakra, finally opened completely.

A chill poured out from the door like a tidal wave. Without the slightest hesitation, Nagato moved and plunged into the gaping giant door.

"Chase!" Onoki shouted, about to lead the Allied Shinobi Forces into the fray.

However, at that moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from behind them, accompanied by the muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

Mei Terumi, Onoki, and the others forcibly twisted their bodies and dodged to the sides the moment they heard the sound of something cutting through the air.

Swish!Swish!
Two sharp whooshing sounds almost grazed their bodies, the force of the wind stinging their cheeks. At the same time, they turned around in shock and anger.

Suddenly, a figure draped in a black cloak rushed over at incredible speed. The sleeve of his right arm ripped open, revealing an arm that was deformed, swollen, and proliferating!
Skin torn, muscles twisted, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into thousands upon thousands of thorny vines, shooting out towards the allied ninjas in front!

puff!puff!
The sounds of flesh being pierced blended together.

Those Allied ninjas who hadn't even figured out what was going on had no time to react. Their armor was easily pierced through like paper, passing right through their bodies and pinning them in mid-air, blood gushing out.

"Shimura Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared in shock and anger, staring intently at the man in black robes.
"And me too, old man." Orochimaru's teasing voice rang out from behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, almost right next to his ear.

boom! boom! boom!
Three dull thuds of flesh colliding rang out almost simultaneously.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was kicked hard in the waist by a tremendous force, let out another miserable groan, and flew forward, spitting out blood.

Mei Terumi and Onoki were caught off guard and were kicked from behind by Orochimaru's clone, sending them flying.

Orochimaru, having landed a successful blow, didn't linger. Taking advantage of the moment when Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two were kicked away and the Allied Forces' formation was thrown into chaos, he and Danzo rushed into the giant gate.

"Damn it, Orochimaru, Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up with a grim expression.

The third level is even more spacious than the first two levels combined. The dome is so high that its top is invisible, hidden in the deep darkness, and the air is so heavy that it is almost stagnant.

Nagato, who was the first to rush in, was standing in the center of the third level, looking up at the front with a furrowed brow.

Orochimaru and Danzo rushed in after them, stopped, and fixed their gazes on Nagato, their eyes narrowing slightly.

In the deepest part of the third level of space stood a stone statue that was even larger and more ferocious than the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The stone statue's form differs from the ten-tailed juvenile form seen in the first level of the dungeon and the Outer Path Demon Statue form seen in the second level; instead, it resembles a beast.

The stone statue lies prostrate on the ground, with only one huge, closed eye in the center of its face. Below it is a gaping maw, and two thick arms support it on the ground, their muscles grotesque.

Behind it, ten tails stand upright, and on its back is a huge, unopened flower bud with a sharp spiral shape.

Following the pattern of the first two layers, the items placed in the third layer should be on the tail of the statue on the third layer.

but……

"Nothing?" Nagato frowned even more, looking at the ten tails that stood upright, completely empty.

Why is there nothing?

Where is it?
boom!!

No one expected that a deep purple beam of light would suddenly shoot up from beneath their feet, shattering the third-level dome and breaking through the ground with unstoppable force.

Nagato, Orochimaru, Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mei Terumi, and Onoki who had just rushed in, along with the Allied Shinobi Forces behind them...

Everyone was engulfed by the sudden purple beam of light.

At the crevice outside the underground palace, Hinata Kumokawa stood, the beam of light spreading out before him stopping. Boulders continued to fall, and the resulting wind and waves whipped his robes, making them flutter loudly.

"This is the Dragon Vein, one of the nodes in this world line."

He examined the purple pillar of light in front of him, clearly sensing the immense and violent energy contained within it, and how it was an unstable "knot" on this timeline.

Logically speaking, this level of power should be uncontrollable, but...

Hinata Kumokawa raised one hand, palm outstretched, and placed it against the surface of the purple pillar of light.

hum!
Centered on his palm, ripples, like waves on water, spread across the surface of the purple pillar of light.

Divine Art: High Soul Protection.

Divine Art: Divine Soul Fate.

The two divine spells involve the authority over time and space, which is also the basis for his daring to use the dragon vein to take risks.

With these two divine spells, he could leverage this power to travel to the desired time coordinates.

Without much hesitation, Hyuga Kumokawa took a step forward, his entire figure disappearing into the purple pillar of light that connected heaven and earth, as if walking into a curtain of water.

hiss...

The moment he entered the beam of light, he felt a strong tearing sensation, as if countless hands were forcibly pulling him out of this moment and throwing him into a rushing river.

The light and shadow before his eyes stretched and distorted, the inner scene of the purple pillar of light disappeared, and in its place, as if he had fallen into a kaleidoscope, the scene before him was bizarre and colorful. Cubes of different sizes swept past Hyuga Kumokawa, and if you looked closely, you could see that these cubes contained constantly changing images, and even flashes of familiar scenes of Konoha Village.

Each block represents a point in time, forming this ever-flowing river of time.

"You can't go see it."

Hinata Kumokawa steadied himself, refraining from scrutinizing the surroundings, and turned to look behind him at Nagato, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the others who had also been swept into this place by the dragon vein.

However, they lacked divine magic, and under the intense impact, their consciousness's self-protection mechanism activated, causing them to fall into a coma.

At this moment, we are like leaves drifting with the current, flowing towards the "past" of time, drifting away unconsciously.

Hinata Kumokawa had a thought. He stretched out his hand, and a gentle force pushed out, changing the direction of Nagato, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the others, pushing them in the opposite direction.

"You can go to the future and take a look for me for now."

After doing all this, he stopped and closed his eyes, no longer using his vision to observe the surrounding scene.

Relying solely on the perception of "divine soul and life," it instantly surged upwards in the direction of "past," flying upstream in time with all its might.

Closing your eyes is to avoid the collapse caused by "observation," which in such places is itself a form of interference.

In a state where things are not "observed," the state of things is in a "superposition state" of multiple possibilities, like Schrödinger's cat, which may be dead or alive.

However, if there is external observation, it is equivalent to opening the box, just like the result in the "double-slit experiment", which will cause the originally uncertain possibility to collapse into a certain result.

Therefore, Hinata Kumokawa simply closed his eyes and skillfully dodged the oncoming blocks.

As he continued to drift upstream, heading towards the more distant "past," the squares around him, which were originally clearly visible, gradually became blurred as he moved faster and faster.

Ultimately, it transformed into streaks of multicolored light that sped away rapidly, as if one were in a tunnel made of pure light and color.

Within him, the chakra originating from the dragon vein was rapidly dissipating as he traveled through reverse time.

One year... five years... ten years... fifty years... one hundred years...

Hinata Kumokawa silently counted in his mind. The time scale was rapidly rewinding, and the speed at which the surrounding light was passing by was so fast that even if he opened his eyes, he could not see any specific scene.

However, at the same time, a feeling of being spied on gradually became clear, coming from a distant place.

"As expected, the Otsutsuki clan has the ability to monitor time." Hyuga Kumokawa's mind tightened slightly.

In the original work, the Otsutsuki clan's treasure called "Plow" was discovered at the bottom of the sea by Konoha as an ancient artifact.

In order to travel back in time and steal the Nine-Tails from Naruto Uzumaki, Urashiki Otsutsuki broke into the Konoha Archaeological Research Institute and stole it.

When using the "plow," the "plow" serves as a reminder to Otsutsuki Urashiki to ensure the correct operating sequence. Incorrect or non-standard operation will have serious consequences.

Clearly, even within the Otsutsuki clan, time travel is not allowed at will; there must be regulations and oversight in place.

Hinata Kumokawa knew he couldn't take his time looking for a suitable time any longer; he had to leave before the Otsutsuki clan's eyes fell on him.

hum!
With this in mind, he no longer cared about the rapidly depleting Dragon Vein Chakra within his body. Driven by his thoughts, his speed surged once again, and he rushed towards the "upstream" of time without regard for anything else.

Three hundred years... five hundred years... one thousand hundred years... one thousand five hundred years...

That sense of being watched was no longer just a feeling, but had almost become a tangible oppression.

It was as if a pair of cold, indifferent, and superior eyes were looking down from above, their gaze piercing through the dense timeline, searching for those attempting to illegally "smuggle" themselves across the border.

Two thousand years... two thousand eight thousand years...

Hinata Kumokawa's dragon vein chakra was completely depleted. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the point in time that was crashing into him.

"Three thousand years ago, that was enough!"

Without the slightest hesitation, without even having time to confirm the exact location, just as the last trace of dragon vein chakra was exhausted, just as that gaze was about to find him.

Hinata Kumokawa's figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight into a time-space node approximately three thousand years before his current location.

呲!
As if passing through an invisible membrane, Hinata Kumokawa immediately felt the piercing gaze disappear.

The world before my eyes suddenly opened up, no longer a dazzling spectacle, but a dense and vast forest.

Overhead, low, churning, leaden-gray clouds stretched out, and silvery lightning bolts occasionally tore through the sky, illuminating the dim world in a ghastly white light, followed by deafening thunder.

Large raindrops poured down, pounding against the dense trees with a crackling sound and stirring up a misty spray.

At this moment, Hinata Kumokawa is falling from a height of several hundred meters down into a vast primeval forest.

His toes barely touched the air, abruptly halting his descent, and he hovered dozens of meters above the ground in the rain.

"here it is……"

Hinata Kumokawa scanned his surroundings, using chakra to keep the rain out.

The forest before him was filled with ancient trees, many of which were far larger than his own time. Vines coiled around him like giant pythons, and all sorts of strange and brightly colored plants were layered upon each other.

In the distance, at the edge of the forest, some simple settlements made of wood, stones, and animal hides can be vaguely seen. They are not large in scale and should be primitive tribes.

Not far away, a figure wrapped in animal skins was screaming in terror as it fled in disarray toward the tribe, glancing back in fear every now and then.

The creature chasing him was a giant python as thick as a water bucket, moving at an extremely fast speed, its body crushing through bushes and mud, its scarlet forked tongue constantly flicking in and out.

"A native of this era?"

“Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki came to the ninja world a thousand years ago. I should be two thousand years ahead of them now.”

Hinata Kumokawa stood in the air, calmly watching this scene. With a slight thought, the power of "High Soul" was activated, acting on his own flesh, bones, and even the surface of his body.

His exposed skin underwent a visible change in color, rapidly losing its rosy hue and turning into a cold, pale white, like fine bone china.

At the same time, his eyebrows turned snow-white, forming two rounded eyebrows on his brow bone, and his long black hair turned blue-white. His face lost some of its gentleness and gained some of its coldness.

The blue divine robe was rewoven and transformed into a white garment with black magatama and the style of the Otsutsuki clan, with a bone horn growing from one side of the head.

[The image above is roughly as shown. I tried my best, and this is the best I could do. Actually, this picture should show what it looked like later, but please bear with it for now and use it as a reference.]

In the blink of an eye, the figure standing in the rain had transformed from Hyuga Kumokawa into someone who looked exactly like a member of the Otsutsuki clan, in terms of appearance, temperament, and attire.

This is the appearance of the Otsutsuki Cloud Style.

"So……"

Ōtsutsuki Unshiki looked down at the natives being chased by the giant python. Not far away, he heard a commotion of voices and footsteps, as if someone had noticed the commotion and was on their way.

"From now on," he muttered to himself, "let's turn all the lies of the past into truth."

Having said that, Ōtsutsuki Kumoshiki raised his hand, aimed at the giant python in the distance, and slightly clenched his fist...

puff! !
