The deserts of the Land of Wind always have an oppressive heat that makes people irritable. Even in winter, the sun here is still so scorching that it feels like it's going to peel off a layer of skin.

The ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom have long been buried by yellow sand, leaving only a few broken stone pillars standing there forlornly, like a few gnawed bones.

When the wind blows, the howling sound is no different from the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

Space distorted, and three figures appeared out of thin air on the ruins.

"Is this Loulan?"

Princess Kaguya still held the bamboo skewer with only one dumpling left in her hand, her pure white eyes scanning her surroundings with a somewhat blank expression.

She clearly didn't understand why a so-called "honeymoon trip" would involve leaving the bustling Konoha and coming to this godforsaken place to eat sand.

"Don't be fooled by its current state; hundreds of years ago, this place was an oasis."

Qian Xuan waved his hand casually, and the gale carrying sand around them obediently detoured when it came within three meters of the three of them, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

He walked to a seemingly ordinary broken wall, squatted down, and reached out to brush away the thick layer of sand on it.

A complex pattern of magic was revealed.

That was a specially made sealing technique, with the Flying Thunder God mark belonging to Minato Namikaze still remaining in the middle.

"It's Minato's doing."

Tsunade recognized the technique at a glance, her expression complex.

"It seems the legends are true; there is indeed some kind of power sealed here that can disrupt space and time."

"Dragon Vein".

Qianxuan's fingers gently tapped the seal, producing a crisp sound.

"To put it simply, it's a major chakra artery deep within the earth. Due to its unique geographical location, the chakra flow here exceeds the limits of conventional physical laws, thus creating a distortion in 'time'."

"time……"

Princess Kaguya repeated the word.

In her long life, time was the most meaningless thing.

All she had to do was plant the trees, harvest them, and wait.

"If we break this seal, can we go back to the past?"

Tsunade was somewhat eager to try.

Although she is a medical ninja, her adventurous gambler spirit has never changed.

"That's true in theory, but it's not that simple."

Qian Xuan stood up, dusted off his hands, turned to look at the two women, and held up one finger.

"Honey, Kaguya, let me share a little bit of knowledge with you."

"If I could travel back in time through the Dragon Vein and kill your grandfather, Hashirama Senju, when he was just a baby."

Chihiro looked at Tsunade and asked a very tricky question.

"So, will you still exist now?"

Tsunade was stunned.

She subconsciously frowned and thought.

If Grandpa dies, there will be no father, and naturally, there will be no her.

She should have disappeared by then.

"I will...disappear?"

Tsunade answered somewhat uncertainly.

"wrong."

Qian Xuan shook his head, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"If you disappeared, then who went back in time to kill your grandfather? Since no one killed your grandfather, he would live, you would be born, grow up, and then go back in time to kill your grandfather... It's a vicious cycle."

This is the "grandfather paradox".

Tsunade's head was throbbing from listening.

She's a pragmatist, and these kinds of brain-teasing logic problems are clearly not her forte.

As for Princess Kaguya next to her, she completely crashed.

The goddess of the rabbit blinked her pure white eyes, her gaze shifting back and forth between Qianxuan and the dumpling in her hand.

Finally, he silently stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth, deciding to stop thinking about questions that would overload his brain.

Anyway, whatever this man says goes.

"Therefore, the power of the dragon vein is most likely not to take us back to the past of our 'current timeline'."

Qianxuan stopped keeping him in suspense and gave his conclusion.

"It's more like a springboard, allowing us to leap into another parallel river. In other words, a parallel world."

"There, we can do whatever we want. Even if we blow up that world, it won't have the slightest impact on our world now."

This is why Sengen dared to bring Tsunade along.

If it really involves modifying the causal laws of this timeline, the trouble would be far greater than fighting ten Otsutsuki.

But if it's a parallel world, it's like starting a completely new game save file, where you can do whatever you want.

"A parallel world, huh...?"

Tsunade seemed to be deep in thought.

"So, the people there, even though they look and have the same names, are actually unrelated to us?"

"Correct answer."

Qianxuan snapped his fingers.

"Alright, the theory lesson is over. Now it's time to get to work."

He turned around to face the seal.

This time, he didn't downplay it like he did on the moon.

Dragon veins are, after all, planetary-level energy outlets. Coupled with the chaos of spacetime laws, the amount of calculation required to accurately locate and open a channel is astronomical.

"Step back a bit."

Qianxuan said softly.

Tsunade pulled Kaguya, who was still chewing on dumplings, and retreated more than ten meters as instructed.

next second.

There was no earth-shattering chakra eruption, nor any unusual phenomenon of howling winds.

The world fell silent.

Absolute silence.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the sandstorm that was still raging suddenly froze in mid-air.

Every grain of sand, every wisp of air, even the refraction of light, is forcibly taken over by an invisible and extremely domineering will.

Vector Operations - Fully Enabled.

Qianxuan stood there, his hands still in his pockets, his posture unchanged.

But his aura had changed.

If he is usually a bottomless lake, then at this moment he is a god hanging high in the sky, looking down on all living beings.

No hand seals are needed, no roaring is required.

He simply exists there, and the rules must make way for him.

click-

The powerful seal set up by Minato Namikaze, strong enough to seal the dragon vein for decades, shattered silently under Sengen's gaze, like a fragile piece of glass.

Immediately afterwards, a purple, extremely violent pillar of chakra light erupted from the ground!

That energy was enough to instantly tear a Kage-level expert to shreds.

However, before the beast could even roar, it was firmly held down by Qian Xuan's outstretched hand.

"Shut up."

Qianxuan's voice was very soft.

But the purple beam of light that shot straight into the sky seemed to have understood the command and abruptly stopped its eruption.

The violent energy particles were forcibly stripped of their "chaotic" properties and rearranged and combined.

Finally, they meekly coalesced into a huge, slowly rotating purple vortex in front of Qianxuan.

Gudong.

Tsunade heard herself swallow.

Even though she now possesses the Tenseigan, even though she stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, seeing this scene before her...

She still felt a tremor that came from the depths of her soul.

It's like an ant watching an elephant embroidering.

That perfect combination of power and control is enough to drive one to despair.

Princess Kaguya no longer eats dumplings.

She stared intently at Qian Xuan's back, and for the first time, a feeling of "fortunateness" appeared in her pure white eyes.

fortunately.

Fortunately, she was pragmatic and recognized this man as the "head of the family".

This method of suppressing planetary energy purely through calculation and the control of rules was something even she, in her prime, could not replicate.

They might not be able to do it so effortlessly.

"Found it."

With his eyes closed, Qianxuan's immense spiritual power flowed through countless time and space nodes in an instant, following the energy flow of the dragon vein.

Those nodes are like crossroads, leading to different futures or the past.

In some instances, Konoha is already a ruin; in others, the ninja world is still fighting like the Warring States period; and in still others, technology is highly advanced, and ninjas are already flying Gundams and bombarding each other in the sky.

"Wife."

Qian Xuan maintained the stability of the purple vortex and asked without turning his head,

Where would you like to go?

"The future? Or the past?"

Tsunade snapped out of her shock.

She looked at the purple vortex, took a deep breath, and calmed her turbulent emotions.

future?

No, the future is too far away and full of uncertainty.

She is very happy now and doesn't want to pry into those potentially unhappy endings.

In comparison...

Two faces appeared in Tsunade's mind.

One is the grandfather, Hashirama Senju, who always laughs heartily and has no authority whatsoever.

The other one is Uchiha Madara, who has a gloomy face, is always at odds with his grandfather, and is ridiculously strong.

That was the starting point of Konoha.

It is also the source of all grudges and conflicts.

"past."

Tsunade's gaze hardened. She took a step forward and stood beside Sengen, her golden Tenseigan gleaming in the purple light.

"I want to go back to the time when Konoha was first established."

"I want to see... how those two old guys managed to build this village."

By the way, if it's a parallel universe...

Tsunade clenched her fist, making a cracking sound.

She really wanted to know if she could pin that arrogant Uchiha Madara to the ground and beat him up if she were in her current state.

"During the founding of Konoha Village..."

Qianxuan smiled.

This is indeed an interesting point in time.

That was the era with the highest level of combat power in the ninja world, an era known as "a battle of gods".

"As you wish."

Qianxuan's fingers gently moved in the void.

The purple vortex began to spin faster, and the originally blurry image gradually became clear.

In the distance, one can vaguely see a lush forest, and deep within the forest, two men standing on the edge of a cliff, gesturing and discussing their plans.

"Hurry up."

Qianxuan put his left arm around Tsunade and lifted up Kaguya, who was still in a daze, with his right hand.

"Our honeymoon trip, second stop—"

"Target: Konoha Year One!"

Before the words were even finished, the three figures were instantly swallowed up by the purple vortex.

The desert winds howled again, burying the reopened ruins once more.

Only a few broken stone pillars remain, standing silently in the wind, as if nothing had ever happened.

……

……

The first year of Konoha, on the border of the Land of Fire.

This is still a pristine forest that has not been fully developed. Towering trees block out the sunlight, and the air is filled with the smell of soil and decaying leaves.

The space rippled.

Qianxuan and his two companions appeared out of thin air and landed steadily on a thick tree branch.

"This is... the former Land of Fire?"

Tsunade looked around, sensing the chakra aura in the air, which, though not as rich as in later generations, was exceptionally wild and natural.

"To be precise, it's the Land of Fire in a parallel world."

Qianxuan corrected him.

He released Kaguya and stretched his neck slightly.

The burden of traveling through time and space was considerable, and even he felt extremely exhausted.

"However, at this point in time..."

Qian Xuan frowned slightly, his perception instantly covering a radius of a hundred miles.

There was no celebratory atmosphere of peaceful village construction as I had imagined.

In the distance, about tens of kilometers away, two enormous and suffocating streams of chakra were colliding violently.

A surge of vitality filled the air; it was the vast, ocean-like Wood Release chakra.

The other was cold and violent, possessing the ultimate power of the eye and the aura of Susanoo.

"It seems we've arrived just in time."

Qianxuan looked in that direction, a smile of anticipation playing on his lips.

"Honey, your grandfather and that Uchiha Madara seem to be having a 'friendly exchange'."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up instantly.

That was the will to fight.

"Walk!"

She didn't even wait for Qian Xuan; with a stomp of her foot, she shot out like an arrow.

Princess Kaguya stared blankly at Tsunade's retreating figure, then glanced at Sengen.

"That's... the chakra of Indra and Asura?"

She asked.

"yes."

Qianxuan gently ruffled Kaguya's long, smooth hair, as if coaxing a child.

"Come on, I'll show you how your two grandsons fight."

"By the way, teach them what... the harsh realities of society are like."
