The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Upon seeing the scene before her, Hinata was horrified and screamed.

Just as the purple fire dragon was within reach, a glint flashed in the eyes of Hyuga Zetsu and Namikaze Minato. The kunai left inside the puppet emitted a bright light, and the Flying Thunder God Technique seals on both sides simultaneously shone with a faint glow.

Flying Thunder God Technique: Mutual Instant Reversal!

In an instant, Hyuga Zechen's figure vanished, replaced by a centipede-like humanoid puppet, and Minato Namikaze appeared behind the puppet.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Zechen appeared on the other side, having switched places with Minato from before.

what?

Centipede only felt a blur before its eyes, and before it could understand what was happening, it was completely engulfed by the purple fire dragon it had unleashed.

Faced with the flames imbued with the power of the dragon vein, the humanoid puppet's recovery speed was more than ten times slower this time. Under the raging purple flames, its size continued to shrink, and the centipede let out a painful scream.

This is a derivative ninjutsu of Flying Thunder God left in the Scroll of Seals by Tobirama Senju, the creator of Flying Thunder God. It can only be performed by two ninjas who have mastered the Flying Thunder God technique working together. By using each other's Flying Thunder God seals, the two casters and even all the items that left the seals can swap positions, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against.

However, finding two ninjas who have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique at the same time is extremely difficult. Neither Tobirama Senju nor Minato Namikaze ever attempted to use this ninjutsu.

It wasn't until the Fourth Shinobi World War, when Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze participated in the war in their Edo Tensei form, that this technique was unleashed. Together with Naruto and Sasuke, they severely injured Obito Uchiha, who had become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

it's all over!

Once the dragon vein flames died down, Minato Namikaze, who had been prepared, once again placed his hand on the surface of the humanoid puppet, which had been burned to a mere shell. Black runes emerged from his palm and quickly spread across the inside and outside of the puppet, forming a crisscrossing sealing technique.

The Eight Trigrams Seal, activated!

As the black talisman lit up, successfully sealing the connection between Centipede and the Dragon Vein chakra, the massive humanoid puppet crashed to the ground. A cloud of white mist rose, revealing the battered Centipede once more.

Two four-element sealing techniques, resembling the vortex clan's crest, appeared one after the other on Centipede's chest and back, forming an eight-trigram seal that completely rendered Centipede incapable of resistance.

"After the Queen of Loulan closes the seal on the dragon vein, could you please tell me about what will happen in Konoha in the future?"

As Hyuga Sawa approached, Namikaze Minato seemed to have made up his mind and spoke.

Chapter 138 The World That Has Not Changed

"seal!"

Minato Namikaze let out a low shout and inserted the Flying Thunder God Kunai into the altar of the dragon vein. A dense array of sealing techniques appeared and covered the surface of the altar.

Everything seems to have returned to square one.

"teacher……"

Just then, a silver-haired boy wearing a mask jumped down from the sky and landed next to Minato Namikaze.

Kakashi had been stationed at the entrance to the Loulan Dragon Vein, but the soaring light and tremendous tremors caused by sealing the dragon vein made him unable to contain himself and rush over.

"Thank you all for your help. Otherwise, Loulan would very likely have been destroyed because of An Lushan's ambition."

Sarah clasped her hands together in a gesture of respect, then turned and walked toward the Loulan people who were cheering in the distance.

"Brother Zechen, look..."

After the dragon vein was sealed, a faint fluorescent light covered the bodies of Hyuga Sawatatsu and Hinata, as well as the body of Hyakutsu, who was unconscious due to the sealing.

"Because the dragon vein has been sealed, the timeline is about to return to normal. It seems you will have to return to your own era."

As Minato Namikaze approached the altar step by step, his previously made decision began to waver.

"Yes, I can already feel that the world is rejecting me. If the Fourth Hokage doesn't make up his mind soon, he might miss his last chance."

Hinata Zechen took Hinata's small hand, then walked to Baizu's side. A spatial vortex appeared, sending this "tool person" into his own space.

Such rare material must be of great research value to scorpions.

"Can you tell me what happened to Kushina?"

After a moment of silence, the struggle on Minato Namikaze's face disappeared, and he spoke.

Unlike in the original timeline, Minato Namikaze saw Naruto who had traveled from the past and guessed most of what had happened to him and his wife, which is why he repeatedly stopped Naruto from revealing their relationship.

Minato Namikaze was remarkably indifferent to his own life and death, for it was the fate of every ninja. But when it came to Kushina, even someone as composed as Minato couldn't help but feel anxious and uncertain.

"On the night she gave birth, she was attacked by the enemy. Taking advantage of the weakened sealing effect of the Jinchuriki, the enemy released the Nine-Tails and then manipulated this strongest tailed beast to wreak havoc in Konoha, causing the Nine-Tails' rampage with heavy casualties."

"In order to stop the enemy's plot to destroy Konoha, and to fulfill his wife's last wish to be with their child as he grew up, the Fourth Hokage chose to use the Reaper Death Seal, splitting the Nine-Tails in two, sealing one half of its chakra into himself, and the other half into his newborn child."

Although Hinata Sawatatsu did not reveal the ending for the two, Minato, with a sorrowful look in his eyes, had clearly guessed everything.

Whether the Jinchuriki is extracted from the Tailed Beast or uses the Reaper Death Seal, they cannot survive.

"Minato-sensei..."

Kakashi, who was striking a cool pose to the side, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"So, who is the enemy controlling the Nine-Tails?"

Minato remained silent for a while, then, seeing the light on Hinata Sawatatsu's body grow even brighter, he asked his second question.

"The other party claimed to be Uchiha Madara. However, not long ago, we exposed his true identity."

Hinata Zechen deliberately kept everyone in suspense, then fixed his gaze on Kakashi's face.

Under Hyuga Zetsu's gaze, Kakashi trembled and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Well, the outcome might be hard for you to accept. So, let you witness it for yourselves."

Hinata Zetsu's azure Tenseigan flashed, and the scene of capturing the Three-Tails appeared above the altar.

"That's... the Three-Tailed Isobu?"

In this world's timeline, the Third Shinobi World War had not yet begun, but Minato still recognized the enormous mud turtle at a glance.

The orange-masked man standing atop the Three-Tails' head, with his only exposed crimson Sharingan and the three-tomoe pattern appearing on the Three-Tails' single eye, sent a shiver down Minato's spine.

"Speaking of which, Kakashi was also a witness to this event."

After the visual direction of the scene was rotated ninety degrees, Hyuga Sawatatsu, Kakashi, and Yamato, who were confronting Isobu, were also presented in front of everyone.

Is that me in the future?

Kakashi stared intently at his grown-up self in the image, immediately drawn to the scar piercing his left eye and the crimson Sharingan, instinctively reaching out to cover his own eyes.

Sharingan, what exactly is going on?

Before Kakashi could figure it out, Hyuga Zechen snapped his fingers, and the masked man standing on top of the Three-Tailed Isobu removed his orange spiral mask, revealing his true face.

"Impossible! How could it be that idiot Obito!"

When Kakashi saw the other person's face clearly, he immediately became extremely excited, leaped up, and threw a punch at Hyuga Zechen.

How could that kind-hearted Uchiha boy who helped old ladies cross the street every day possibly have killed his teacher and his wife?

It must all be a lie from the other side!

The fist passed right through Hyuga Zechen's body, causing Kakashi to miss his punch and stagger through it along with his entire body.

"I will definitely stop all of this and prevent such a tragedy from happening."

Minato Namikaze clenched his fists, his tone resolute.

"Well then, I wish you success, Fourth Hokage."

Hinata Zechen bowed slightly, glanced at the stone statue standing in the corner of the altar, and then disappeared along with Hinata in a dazzling white light.

"You must not utter a single word about what just happened, especially not in front of... Obito."

Looking at the empty space ahead, Minato Namikaze suppressed the emotions rising in his heart and spoke to Kakashi in a rather stern tone.

"But...but..."

Kakashi hesitated, but under Minato's stern gaze, he nodded reluctantly.

I wonder if Hinata Sawatatsu's world will suffer serious consequences due to the changes in history?

Minato Namikaze gave a self-deprecating smile, grabbed Kakashi, and leaped back to the ground to reunite with Choza and Shiki.

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

I'm finally back.

When Xiang Zechen reappeared in front of the altar that day, Hinata was the only one left by his side.

While Hinata remained conscious, Hinata fell unconscious again and was pulled into Hinata's arms, leaning against him.

With a hint of anticipation, Hyuga Zechen took out the mission report that Minato had left in the Hokage Building years ago, only to find that the contents had not changed at all.

Most importantly, despite being so close, Hinata Sawatatsu did not sense the Flying Thunder God Mark nearby!

It should be noted that when Hyuga Zetsu left the Flying Thunder God mark on one of the stone statues when he left the altar, and this mark will not disappear over time.

So, does changing history only lead to parallel universes and not affect the future that has already happened?

Hinata Zechen closed his eyes and focused all his attention on sensing the Flying Thunder God mark he had left behind. As expected, he sensed a Flying Thunder God mark that did not belong to this world.

Chakra...insufficient.

This is the reaction given by the mark when Hyuga Sawatatsu activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Perhaps only those who reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths are qualified to travel between different times and spaces?

Even someone as powerful as Urashiki Otsutsuki needed a treasure to return to the past.

Chapter 139 Sasuke as a sacrifice?

In the Land of Wind, where yellow sand raged, Pain stood on a rock, gazing at a massive stone mountain in the distance.

"Are you sure Orochimaru is inside? We've already destroyed three of his strongholds, and each time we came up empty-handed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow sand churned ahead, and a giant pitcher plant rose up, revealing its magnificent appearance.

"Intelligence indicates that Orochimaru escaped to the Land of Wind three days ago. However, it's hard to say whether he's actually inside, since that snake is incredibly slippery."

Bai Jue's tone was filled with helplessness.

Since the disappearance of the art duo, the Akatsuki organization has been unable to track Orochimaru's exact whereabouts through the hidden line of Kabuto Yakushi. Being able to pinpoint a general area is already the result of numerous White Zetsu piecing together countless clues.

"Leader, at this critical juncture when the five great nations are about to join forces to besiege the organization, isn't it a case of putting the cart before the horse to focus our main efforts on hunting down Orochimaru?"

Black Zetsu's voice was hoarse, not understanding why, at such a crucial moment, Pain's main target was still Orochimaru.

Shortly after the Five Kage Summit, White Zetsu, who had infiltrated the Land of Iron, had already learned of the summit's outcome and knew that the elites of the five great ninja villages were beginning to assemble, and a great battle was imminent.
