"Is this the power of [Space-Time Force]?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed, his eyes filled with both amazement and worry.

Cheng Yun did not answer, but silently gazed ahead, her eyes filled with determination.

She knew that this time, they had to find Jiraiya as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Tailed Beasts.

"let's go!"

Cheng Yun's voice broke the silence. She took the lead and flew towards Turtle Island, followed closely by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Fugaku Uchiha. The three of them drew brilliant trajectories in the night sky.

On Turtle Island, thick smoke, like a heavy black veil, enveloped every inch of land, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and the stench of blood left by the battle.

Traces of battle are visible everywhere; houses lie scattered like broken building blocks, their ruins revealing the fierce clashes that once took place.

The trees were in even worse condition; after being engulfed by the raging fire, only charred branches remained, swaying alone in the cold wind.

As Cheng Yun stepped into the ruins, her steps were heavy, her eyes searching her surroundings, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

The scene before her was like a cold, sharp blade, piercing her heart.

She knew all too well that amidst this devastation, Jiraiya and the Jinchuriki had likely suffered unimaginable calamities, their fates unknown…

"Over there!"

Fugaku Uchiha's voice boomed like thunder, his eyes flashing with the strange and precise light of the Mangekyou Sharingan, instantly locking onto Jiraiya's location.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun and Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked in the direction Fugaku Uchiha was pointing.

What came into view was Jiraiya's figure, almost blending into the pool of blood.

His long white hair was no longer a symbol of elegance, but was now stained with merciless blood, like withered branches covered by frost and snow in winter, exuding a chilling cold and despair.

His body was covered in scars, each one a heavy mark etched by time. His life force flickered like a candle in the wind, threatening to go out, evoking pity and making one feel that he might be quietly taken away by death at any moment.

"Jiraiya..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with disbelief; he could hardly accept that such a hero had fallen to such an end.

Cheng Yun's expression darkened. Jiraiya, the guardian, had already fallen, which meant that the remaining tailed beasts were very likely already in Fengtian's hands...

She suddenly snapped her fingers, as if issuing a summons to time and space.

In an instant, a vast and boundless [power of spacetime] suddenly emerged, like an ancient deity being awakened, carrying endless majesty and mystery.

This power flowed through her fingertips, then dispersed into countless tiny, shimmering golden threads, like the most brilliant stars in the night sky, rapidly spreading towards Jiraiya's heavily injured body.

Under the miraculous reversal of this [power of time and space], Jiraiya's wounds began to heal at a visible speed, and his life force was rapidly restored, as if time had reversed, pulling him back from the brink of death.

Before long, those eyes, which had been tightly closed for so long, suddenly opened, revealing a look of shock and disbelief.

He struggled to sit up, then stood up in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"My injuries have actually... completely healed..."

Jiraiya looked down at himself. His body, which had been covered in wounds, was now completely unharmed. He touched his cheek in disbelief to confirm that this was not an illusion.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at Cheng Yun beside him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

However, the proud and aloof Cheng Yun was too lazy to explain to Jiraiya. She simply crossed her arms and gazed into the distance with an indifferent expression.

"Jiraiya, this is Cheng Yun, a powerful expert who wields the power of spacetime. She's the one who healed your injuries..."

To ease the awkwardness, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward to explain.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he nodded solemnly to Cheng Yun:

"I am deeply grateful to this beautiful young lady for her help."

Cheng Yun gave a soft hum, a barely perceptible smile appearing on her face, which was taken as an acceptance of Jiraiya's gratitude.

"Lord Jiraiya, what exactly happened here?"

"Where are Kushina and the others?"

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha also stepped forward and asked, getting straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

When Jiraiya heard these questions, his face instantly turned ashen, as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on his heart.

A hint of barely concealed ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he spoke slowly and heavily:

"Just a short while ago, a mysterious young man suddenly appeared here..."

"His strength is unbelievable; he possesses a unique power unlike anything he's ever seen before..."

"That power transcends the realm of mere chakra; it seems to originate from a mysterious being of a higher dimension..."

As he spoke, Jiraiya's voice trembled slightly, as if he were recalling that thrilling battle and the despair of being powerless to change the situation.

"I...I've tried everything I could, but I still couldn't stop him..."

Jiraiya clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his eyes filled with a complex mix of self-blame and anger.

"Apart from Kushina, all the other Jinchūriki have been captured by that mysterious boy..."

His words were filled with helplessness and sorrow.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

"It seems this mysterious young man is Fengtian..."

"Currently, he possesses all the tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails..."

"It seems things have gotten really bad..."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, even the usually confident Cheng Yun looked extremely unpleasant.

Fengtian, who currently possesses the power of the Five-Tails, is extremely difficult to deal with. If he were to be raised to the power of the Eight-Tails, even I would not have the slightest confidence in defeating him!

"Our top priority is to launch a full-scale attack on Fengtian before he fully absorbs the Tailed Beasts!"

"If he really gets the power of all eight tailed beasts, even I won't be a match for him..."

Cheng Yun's words revealed a hint of urgency and panic.

Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing with Cheng Yun's suggestion.

Cheng Yun turned around, her gaze fixed intently on the distance, her voice unusually firm:

"Next, I will tell you everything I know about Fengtian without reservation..."

"at the same time……"

She paused for a moment, as if gathering some kind of strength:

"I will use my [power of time and space] to search for Fengtian's whereabouts with all my might..."

"Once we pinpoint his location, we'll launch a surprise attack immediately, giving him no chance to regroup!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement:

"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off immediately."

"Um…."

Cheng Yun responded quickly, nodding slightly, and the mysterious [power of time and space] surged from her fingertips once again.

This power seemed to come alive in her hands, flowing and changing, releasing endless potential.

At that very moment, enveloped by the power of time and space, the four figures vanished from their spot like leaves swept up by the wind, leaving only a faint golden light shimmering in the air.

When the golden light reappeared, Cheng Yun, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Fugaku Uchiha were already standing in front of them in the ruins of Konoha Village.

The scene before us is heartbreaking. The once prosperous village is now devastated, with broken walls and ruins telling the story of the disasters and suffering it has endured.
