Mysterious, but Naruto

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, wake up! I command you to wake up in the name of the Hall family!"

Inside a room on the second floor of a luxurious villa, a beautiful woman dressed in a long dress was sitting in front of a dressing table, talking to herself in front of a bronze mirror.

In the center of this bronze mirror is a noticeable crack, and around it and on the back are engraved ancient and simple patterns.

"Dad was lying to me all along. He always told me that this mirror was a treasure of the Black Emperor of the ancient Solomon Empire, an extraordinary item..."

The girl's words revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, which caused her to puff out her cheeks slightly while unconsciously curling her hanging blonde hair with her fingers.

Before she could finish speaking, the bronze mirror in front of her suddenly emitted a deep red light, enveloping her instantly.

-----------------

On an island in the endless void, Louis, who was lying on the roots of a giant tree idly digging in the soil, suddenly noticed a deep red light appearing in this almost eternal space.

The deep red light flashed by in an instant, but it still caught Louis's attention. He suddenly sat up from the tree root and ran toward the source of the light, completely disregarding his image.

Upon arriving at their destination, they discovered a "window" the size of a small washbasin in the void.

Inside the window was a blonde girl who appeared to be unconscious.

Louis reached out to try and touch the "window," but found that he couldn't extend his hand.

He then tried several more experiments, all of which ended in failure.

Strangely, no matter what Louis did on this side of the "window," the girl on the other side remained motionless, staring blankly ahead.

"Hey, can you see me?"

Hello! Hello! What's going on?

No, could it be that time has stopped on the other side...?

Louis muttered to himself, but it didn't change the fact that the other side didn't respond.

He continued until he got tired of what he was doing and stopped to carefully observe the situation across the window.

Only then did he notice that the girl in front of him was not completely still; her chest was rising and falling slightly with her breathing.

After this discovery, Louis was even more puzzled. Since it was not a time freeze, and the breathing frequency was not much different from the flow of time on his side, why was the other party not moving?

Surely he can't be in a vegetative state!

"No, no, although people in a vegetative state can still move around and even scratch themselves, they are in a state of unconsciousness for a long time, resulting in insufficient physical activity and varying degrees of damage to their bodies."

But the girl in front of me looked quite well, not at all like a patient.

Well... it's hard to say. Judging from their clothes and the decoration of the room, they must be from a wealthy family.

It's hard to say whether the other party is wealthy enough to have hired numerous caregivers and a family doctor to help them with a set amount of activities at home.

Although the girl inside the "window" sat motionless in the chair, she seemed quite bored.

Louis still chose to stand here and observe, after all, compared to this suddenly appearing "window," the surrounding void was much more boring.

Louis didn't know exactly how much time had passed, but he suddenly noticed a change in the girl opposite him.

The deep red light that had previously drawn him here reappeared, seemingly bursting forth directly from the void and enveloping the girl before him.

It was at the very moment that the crimson light appeared that Louis noticed the girl had regained her senses and her body had begun to move again.

Finally, the light swirled around the girl's body, forming a star-like "tattoo" on the back of her hand. Eventually, the color dimmed, disappearing into her skin.

Hello.

Seeing that the girl had regained her senses, Louis greeted her.

"Ah! Ooh!"

But this action startled the girl opposite, causing her to scream.

Although the girl covered her mouth with her hand the moment she screamed, the sound still got out, and the next moment a series of hurried footsteps could be heard outside her door.

"Miss, I just heard you scream. Did something happen?"

"Uh, cough cough, it's nothing, I'm fine. A bug just flew in through the window, but it's all over now."

The person outside the door didn't know if they truly believed it, but ultimately didn't push the door open and entered. Instead, they paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"It's time to get ready to leave. May I come in?"

In a short time, the girl calmed down and looked at the bronze mirror where the image of a person had suddenly appeared. She found that the image was no longer there, but instead a huge tree.

She placed the bronze mirror upside down on the table, quickly adjusted her clothes to make sure nothing was amiss, and then continued, "Okay, Annie, come in."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the doorknob was turned from the outside, and then Annie, the personal maid, walked in.

As the maid pushed open the door, she quickly scanned the room to make sure there was nothing unusual before she felt relieved.

The maid walked up to the girl and her gaze fell on the bronze mirror that was upside down on the table.

She wasn't surprised by this, since the young lady would always look at this mirror after hearing her father tell stories about the Black Emperor, and this time was no exception.

Seeing that Annie had only glanced at the mirror and hadn't noticed anything unusual, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This moment was the most thrilling moment of her life. Just a moment ago, she had been pulled into a mysterious space by an unknown entity and experienced a mysterious adventure.

The next moment, she saw her own bronze mirror, which had remained unchanged, suddenly reflect an image.

But now, she had to appear completely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Which dress would you like to wear?

The maid's words interrupted the girl's thoughts, drawing her attention back to the present moment. She pondered for a moment.

"I love the dress Mrs. Ginia designed for my seventeenth birthday."

But the maid refused, saying, "No, wearing the same dress twice in a formal setting will make people suspect that the Hall family is facing some kind of financial crisis."

If you really like it, you can wear it on casual occasions and at home, but not on formal public occasions.

The girl did not press the matter further, as she, being a member of the nobility, understood this principle.

The magnificent costumes they wore were not merely simple clothing to cover their bodies; they were more like armor protecting each family member.

During banquets and social occasions, nobles could, to some extent, ascertain the family background of others by examining and recognizing their attire.

It's like two male lions observing each other to see if their manes are still thick and if their fur has any wounds. Once an opportunity arises, they will be targeted by the other.

They might even be attacked by a pack of hyenas, ultimately ending up being devoured.

Therefore, after letting out a barely perceptible sigh, the girl regained her smile: "In that case, let's choose the one Mr. Sades sent the day before yesterday, the one with the ruffles at the cuffs."

-----------------

On the other side of the "window," Louis was crouching down, secretly listening to the conversation of the girls outside.

Unfortunately, he could hear the conversation on the other end, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.

"What language is this? I've never heard of it before."

Although Louis did not pass the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4) by the time he graduated, thanks to the development of the Internet, he had heard some languages ​​from all over the world.

However, the girls in front of me were talking in a language I had never heard of before.

"Although I'm sure I've traveled through time, I thought I was in Europe because of the other person's clothes."

But now it seems to be another world.

Hey! With a tree like this and the void around it, isn't another world a given?!

That's what they say, but Louis still hasn't come to a final conclusion. After all, whether there's a hidden inner world in the original world or not, he, an ordinary person, has no way of knowing.

But now, after listening to this conversation in a language completely different from his own, he finally realized that he had been transported to another world.

Ah, I wonder how my Ah Cai is doing. Who would have thought that walking the dog would lead to an explosion?

Speaking of that explosion, what exactly happened? There was nothing around me. Could it have been a buried gas pipeline?

But there wasn't even an open flame! Why am I so unlucky?!

Louis would be speechless whenever he thought about it.

I was walking my Shiba Inu, Ah-Cai, as usual.

Then an explosion suddenly occurred right beside him, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself here, on this island suspended in the void.

Apart from Louis, there was only one towering giant tree on the entire island.

The tree had thick, gnarled roots and a straight, upright trunk, but it had no branches or leaves.

At the very top of the giant tree was a huge flower bud.

The moment he woke up, he felt that his mind was filled with a lot more knowledge and memories.

There was only one problem: this knowledge and memory was too vast, so vast that Louis's entire life seemed as insignificant as a table tennis ball on Earth in comparison.

This meant that Louis needed a lot of time to understand and analyze that knowledge and memory.

But based on what he currently knows, it has given him a general idea of ​​his situation.

This brings us to a character in Naruto who serves as a background character.

His name is Otsutsuki Shibaju. As a god of the Otsutsuki clan, he has lived for thousands of years. During this time, he used the Otsutsuki clan's unique sacred tree to transform various energies in the universe into unified chakra.

The Otsutsuki clan planted the sacred tree on a life-bearing planet in the universe, and then simply waited for the sacred tree to bloom and bear fruit before returning the fruit to the clan.

Each fruit of the sacred tree often represents the fall of a life-bearing planet.

However, Otsutsuki Shibaju ate countless fruits from the Divine Tree throughout his life.

Ultimately, the sheer quantity of divine tree fruits led to a qualitative change.

As Otsutsuki Shibakai's power increased further, he eventually abandoned his physical body, and his soul transformed into data, departing from his original dimension.

Perhaps because the power consumed in crossing dimensions was too great, Otsutsuki Shibai transformed into a data stream and injected it into Louis's body.

As for the giant tree behind them, it was the sacred tree owned by the Otsutsuki Shibaju.

This island was actually created by Otsutsuki Shibai using divine magic; it was a world that belonged solely to Him and could be controlled at will.

However, as Otsutsuki Shibai consumed more and more power during his dimensional travels, this once small world gradually became the desolate place it is today.

Since Otsutsuki Shibai is currently residing in Louis's body, Louis can use the other's power to a certain extent, but this use comes at a price.

To give an analogy, Otsutsuki Shibaju is like a compressed file, which has been decompressing ever since he entered Louis's body.

However, the contents of this compressed file are so large that the decompression progress bar is stretched to an extremely long time, possibly hundreds or even thousands of years.

Whenever Louis uses the power of Otsutsuki Shibakai, it's equivalent to actively accelerating the analysis process.

Louis could gain even greater power from this, after all, he was a being who could traverse dimensions, and even in his fallen state, he was not easily comparable.

However, this also shortened his own lifespan, because once the compressed package inside his body was completely decompressed, he became Otsutsuki Shibakai.

Louis initially found this difficult to accept.

But during the time he was trapped here alone, he gradually came to understand.

Before he became Otsutsuki Shibakai, there must have been several hundred or even a thousand years. During that time, to possess power and abilities far exceeding his original strength was itself an immense stroke of luck.

Therefore, in desperation, Louis convinced himself and accepted his future fate.

Just when Louis had accepted his fate and was preparing to enjoy his powerful centuries-old life before he died, he discovered that he was unable to leave this place at all.

First of all, he is not Otsutsuki Shibai. Even if he could borrow power, the effect would be vastly different.

His control over this space was extremely limited; he could only make it move slowly through this void.

Secondly, Louis discovered that the void outside the space was also very strange. It had no up, down, left, or right, and moving around here was simply a matter of luck.

They might have just moved a few hundred meters to the left, and then suddenly found themselves a thousand meters to the right.

In the end, Louis was either going around in circles or had no idea where he was.

The problem is that the void outside looks the same to Louis, as if he has never moved.

But now it's different. The moment that "window" opened, this space captured a coordinate.

Now, Louis was no longer like a headless fly, wandering aimlessly in this void; he finally had a clear goal.
