Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 260 Tobirama's Abilities, Entering Loulan

"Think of something quick!"

In that instant, Li Yao's mind raced, and time seemed to slow down a thousand times.

He racked his brains trying to figure out if there was any way to connect him with the power of the dragon vein.

The power of the dragon vein!

The power of spacetime!

Time and space!

Time...right.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

With a thought, Li Yao instantly conjured up the runes of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and a wisp of spacetime power condensed within the technique emanated from it.

In an instant, the power of the dragon vein, which was originally separated from Li Yao by a world, resonated with his body in some kind of space-time.

With the help of the dragon vein power that erupted at this moment, Li Yao's body broke through the world barrier and was instantly swallowed up and disappeared by the dragon vein power.

"Uncle!!!"

Little Leaf's expression changed drastically, and she screamed in alarm.

However, Li Yao had already disappeared into the power of the dragon vein, but she did not disappear with him.

Soon, the power of the dragon vein completely disappeared, as did the phantom of the Loulan ruins, along with Li Yao's figure.

On the desert, there was only Xiao Yezi and Li Yaoying's clone not far away.

"Uncle..." Xiao Yezi's chakra erupted, and she punched the desert, attempting to dig out the Loulan ruins from it.

"Don't worry, the main body is fine."

At this moment, Li Yaoying's clone flew over and stopped the frantic Xiao Yezi.

"Uncle!"

"Are you alright, sir?"

Xiao Yezi only realized that Li Yaoying's clone was still there when she heard this, and quickly grabbed Li Yaoying's clone's hands tightly with both hands, asking nervously.

Li Yaoying's clone said, "The main body has entered another world, so it's alright."

Little Leaf asked nervously, "Will you be able to come back?"

Li Yaoying's clone sensed it for a moment and said, "Yes, but it might take a few years."

"It's good that you're back."

Xiao Yezi released Li Yaoying's clone's hand. It was only a few years; she could wait, as long as he wasn't gone forever.

……

"Ugh... Ugh..."

On the grass, Li Yao, who suddenly appeared, knelt on the ground and vomited violently. His stomach was churning and he was seeing stars.

What does it feel like to travel through time and space?

Li Yao has now experienced it firsthand.

It felt like I was thrown into a washing machine and spun around erratically tens of thousands of times at five times the speed of sound.

There was no physical harm.

Only mental torment was suffered.

Li Yao could have fainted, but he forced himself to stay awake in order to experience the feeling of time travel.

Then... he underestimated the discomfort of time travel. He was tormented to the point of near death and had no mind to perceive the wonders of time travel.

Sizzle... Several puppets flew over from the distance.

Ignoring his still dizzy and fainting body, Li Yao quickly used the Black Hole Space Transformation to sink into the ground and arrive at the bottom of a ruined space sealed by a barrier.

As soon as Li Yao left, several puppets fell from the sky, looked around, and left again after finding no one else there.

"Were those people from Konoha who followed us?"

Inside a secret room, on a chair where countless flesh-colored tubes converged, a man named Baizu, now known as An Lushan, murmured softly, his face showing no sign of panic. He had already obtained the power of the dragon vein and was fearless of any enemy.

……

In a ruined space underground, Li Yao rested for an hour and finally fully recovered.

"Finally in!"

"Haha... Tobirama Senju, as expected of a man whose legacy is enough for Orochimaru to live on for a lifetime!"

After sensing it, Li Yao burst into laughter. His chakra perception ability told him that he had arrived in the Loulan Transcendent World within the Lost Tower. The dragon vein chakra was constantly surging out from the bottom of the highest tower, a feeling completely different from when he saw the phantom.

He did indeed travel through time and space to the Naruto world where Loulan still exists.

This is all thanks to the Impure World Reincarnation technique developed by Tobirama Senju.

Originally, given that they were separated by a different world, it was impossible for Li Yao to be pulled into this world by the power of the dragon vein.

During that moment of sudden inspiration, Li Yao thought of the Impure World Reincarnation technique developed by Tobirama Senju, and the time-limited chakra characteristic of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

By utilizing the temporal characteristics inherent in the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and resonating with the spacetime characteristics of the Dragon Vein power, it's as if Li Yao's body has become a spacetime signal source in the vast spacetime, allowing the Dragon Vein power, which was originally separated by a world, to pull Li Yao along.

That's why he was able to break through time and space to come to this world.

Because Xiao Yezi couldn't use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, she wasn't marked by the Dragon Vein's power and remained in her original world.

It has to be said that Tobirama Senju's talent in developing ninjutsu was simply terrifying.

"Maybe it can be done like this..."

A thought suddenly flashed through Li Yao's mind: it would be a waste not to use Tobirama Senju's intellect to develop ninjutsu.

But not now, we'll have to wait until he gets back.

Bang!

Li Yao created a shadow clone on the spot.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

The shadow clone mobilized its chakra and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to its original Naruto world.

Li Yao still retains his perception of his original clone from the world.

His chakra, or rather his consciousness, is indeed special.

Even though they were separated by a world, his connection with his clone remained clear and unobstructed, just like when his original self was in the original world.

Therefore, the Flying Thunder God mark he left in the original world can still be sensed.

Bang!

The shadow clone exploded and disappeared.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique was unsuccessful.

"It wasn't that simple after all!"

Li Yao shook his head. The Flying Thunder God Technique had indeed failed, but there was no need to worry about not being able to return.

The reason the Flying Thunder God Technique failed was simply because there wasn't enough chakra.

The amount of chakra consumed by the Flying Thunder God Technique is only related to the transferred material energy, and has little to do with distance, at least within this world.

Just like summoning techniques, the more powerful and energetic the summoning beast, the more chakra is needed to summon it, regardless of the distance.

If you were to use the Flying Thunder God Technique while carrying a Nine-Tails, the chakra consumption would be much greater.

However, it is clear that using the Flying Thunder God Technique across a world's distance exceeds the conventional sense of distance, and the amount of chakra consumed is terrifying.

The shadow clone just now disappeared because its chakra was absorbed and destroyed by the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Now, Li Yao wants to leave this world and return to his own. There are two ways.

First, seal the dragon vein. In this way, Li Yao, who came to this world because of the power of the dragon vein, will no longer have the influence of the dragon vein on the spacetime of this world. Li Yao will be rejected by this world and return to his original world.

Second, use the Devouring Sealing Array on your body to slowly accumulate chakra, or directly devour a large amount of dragon vein chakra, and then use the Flying Thunder God Technique, which can travel through time and space, to return to this world.

Li Yao can do both methods at any time.

With his sealing abilities and the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was able to replicate the same spacetime seal after seeing the sealing array that Shuifeng had set up using the Flying Thunder God Kunai as a base, and reseal the dragon vein.

He can also absorb the chakra of the dragon vein.

However, his purpose in coming here was not to go back, but to study the spacetime characteristics of the dragon vein power.

The physical black hole spatialized, and Li Yao flew out of the underground and came outside. He used invisibility to hide his figure and flew in the air, a tall tower flying away.

Loulan's architecture is somewhat similar to the cities of the Rain Kingdom, both being tower-like structures, except that Loulan is constructed of stone.

In mid-air, black pipes connected the various towers, shooting out chakra threads that connected to the puppets below, which looked human from afar but were stiff up close.

Looking around, the entire Loulan appears bustling with people and prosperous, but in reality, they are all puppets.

In Li Yao's soul perception, there were no more than five hundred living people.

A large city, with only a few hundred living people.

Where did everyone else go?

Sensing the faint traces of soul energy remaining in the humanoid puppets below, Li Yao had his answer.

That creature hiding underground, I think its name is Centipede.

The opponent's puppet technique had already reached in front of Scorpion.

Those humanoid puppets below are all transformed from living people.

The centipede was clearly using the Loulan people to experiment with human puppetry techniques, transforming itself into a puppet with a soul.
