The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Wait, hiss~"

Uchiha Kiyoshi suddenly realized that the spatial aura was too dense, and a small piece of "blade" could slice through at any moment, and the key point was that they were "transparent".

Hardening technique!

"Earth Clone Technique"

"Substitute Instantaneous Movement Technique"

Putting a layer of hardening on yourself might not solve the problem, but it at least gives you a moment to react.

Next, Uchiha Kiyoshi directly created dozens of earth clones and transformed them into replacements.

Having already developed a certain level of spatial perception, Uchiha Kiyoshi was still able to vaguely "see" the spatial "blade" even with his full perception. As long as it wasn't a large-scale spatial turbulence covering himself and all his earth clones, he could use the Substitution Technique to teleport away.

Although he managed to dodge the spatial blade, things still didn't go as Uchiha Kiyoshi had expected.

This is time travel! The space is filled with energy, and any action could cause spatial distortion, let alone spatial transformation.

With each use of the Substitution Technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi began to feel the strain.

The space is disordered.

A distance of ten meters requires the same amount of energy as a distance of over a thousand meters.

"Time travel is really dangerous."

This was Uchiha Kiyoshi's only thought at that moment.

Spatial fragmentation and spatial distortion present countless possibilities for unexpected events.

It's a mystery how Naruto was unharmed back then; his protagonist aura was just too powerful. An Lushan was different; he probably received similar treatment to Uchiha Kiyoshi, but luckily he survived. However, his injuries were too severe, and An Lushan transformed himself into a puppet.

Otherwise, who would transform themselves into a puppet for no reason? Even puppeteers, except for ninjas like Sasori with specific goals, would not voluntarily give up their human bodies.

Uchiha Kiyoshi did attempt a breakthrough, but he failed once. The spatial disturbances and the increased consumption of his Body Flicker Technique made him dare not try again.

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Kiyoshi sensed that the speed of change in his surroundings was beginning to slow down, and he became alert.

"Phew, thankfully it was a close call."

If I had known that traveling through time would be so dangerous, Uchiha Kiyoshi would never have come to the Dragon Vein, at least not to the core of the Dragon Vein after letting An Lushan go.

Uchiha Kiyoshi always stayed in the same place he started from. After dodging the spatial blades, he would return to the spot where his earth clone was located, which was the place where he initially stood. Although the earth clone was damaged, it still served as a replacement.

This is also to prevent oneself from not knowing where one has traveled to.

It's good that Uchiha Kiyoshi can fly; he can save himself if he travels to the sky. But what if it's another extreme environment?

I was transported directly to a space containing a sharp object, and lo and behold, I was pierced right through.

Upon emerging, Uchiha Kiyoshi's first priority was not to heal his injuries, but to check on the condition of his clone.

Before coming to Loulan, he had already made some preparations for his clone.

However, having a backup plan is not a foolproof solution, so he did not have the idea of ​​time travel, but only hoped to study the dragon vein.

But who knew that an accident would happen halfway through?

An Lushan, just you wait, when I get back I'll be the first one to make you pay.

"First of all, there were no suddenly added memories."

Uchiha Kiyoshi proceeded methodically, examining his memories but finding no trace of the memories brought back after the Shadow Clones dissipated.

However, this does not necessarily mean that the clones did not disband, as it is possible that the memories could not be transferred due to different time and space.

This leads to another area: whether the soul can transcend time or connect across space and time.

Uchiha Kiyoshi no longer resisted the idea of ​​time and space; since he had already traveled through time, he might as well study it.

There are no extra memories; there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that the soul cannot act as a medium across time and space to share memories from another time and space. This possibility is unlikely, at least that's what Uchiha Kiyoshi believes.

Because at this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi had already entered the state of Spirit Transformation Technique. His soul did not leave his body, but Uchiha Kiyoshi had already used the Spirit Transformation Technique and transformed into a soul state.

No, more accurately, it's a spiritualized state, a state in which the soul is transformed and can be controlled.

"The indivisible origin of the soul has neither been completed nor disappeared."

Looking at the faint trace of the soul's origin within his soul, Uchiha Kiyoshi made a judgment.

This is what Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered after mastering the Spirit Transformation Technique: a part of the soul's essence was missing!

To be precise, it's not missing, but incomplete. The soul can still connect with this part of the origin, that faint part, and its abilities are not affected.

Uchiha Kiyoshi guessed that part of the soul was in the Pure Land, the Pure Land of his time and space. Otherwise, where would the coordinates come from if the soul returned directly to the Pure Land after death?

Even in his spiritualized state, Uchiha Kiyoshi was still able to see the faintly visible part, indicating that he could perceive the origin of the original timeline.

"That would open up another possibility."

This is also the possibility that Uchiha Kiyoshi most hoped for: that the clone is unharmed, can still move around normally, and can still communicate with the main body.

Before coming here, Uchiha Kiyoshi set the connection points between the souls of all his shadow clones and the Pure Land's origin, rather than his own soul.

Even if souls can communicate across time and space, if one brings their entire soul with them, and the shadow clone is connected to this part of oneself, it is very likely that the connection will be severed directly, and the shadow clone will disengage on its own.

"The so-called spacetime is not time and space, but space with the concept of time. It has no time attribute, or rather, the time attribute is not used in this way."

Different times and spaces are just different parallel worlds.

Chapter 207 Discovery

Spacetime is not the fusion of time and space, but rather a spatial concept that carries the meaning of time.

"Yes, it's like a line running through countless parallel worlds, just like a timeline."

The Naruto world is such a world, with countless parallel worlds. Over a long period of time, the development of these worlds has a so-called "predetermined" fate, which is the plot.

There is no such thing as time.

Time should not be about traveling through time to go back to the past or future. The proper use of time should be time reversal, time stopping, and time acceleration. That is what time is all about.

The ability to travel through time is not due to time itself, but rather to the power of space, allowing one to travel to another parallel universe.

"It's not just that countless parallel universes make up a whole timeline; perhaps over the long years, something like fate has also appeared. After all, the concept of fate does exist, and the river of fate is very likely to exist."

While observing his surroundings and trying to assess his current situation, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also constantly refining his thoughts.

Multitasking is not a problem, especially in the ninja world where there is the Shadow Clone Technique. With enough practice, it's normal to naturally develop the ability to multitask.

Emerging from the core of the dragon vein, one is greeted by a scene of ruins.

Is this the future?

"Did I travel from the previous timeline to the future? Is it the timeline from which An Lushan came?"

Dragon veins don't send people through them for no reason, especially if there's a specific goal and the passage has an "exit," it's definitely heading straight for this coordinate.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had never traveled through time before, nor did he have any coordinates. It is estimated that An Lushan's aura was sensed by the Dragon Vein, and he was teleported to this space-time along with it.

An Lushan's location should be sixty years after Konoha, right?

At this time, the fighting strength of the ninja world had actually recovered somewhat, with more than two Kage-level ninjas and even one or two Super Kage-level ninjas.

"By the way, An Lushan seems to have never heard of my deeds."

Uchiha Kiyoshi suddenly recalled his encounter with An Lushan. An Lushan's expression at that time was enough to show that he did not recognize him, had never even heard of him, and had never even heard of his Gundam Mode, Spirit Slash, and other techniques!

This reminded him of his previous theory of parallel universes.

"There are countless parallel worlds, and I only traveled to one of them. So, does that mean I only affect one timeline? No, there should be two now."

Influenced by fanfiction from his previous life, Uchiha Kiyoshi subconsciously believed that his changes to the ninja world had become history. That is, after a long period of time, from the moment he transmigrated, the ninja world in subsequent timelines would be changed by him, and his presence would be felt in all of them.

Now, Uchiha Kiyoshi has realized his limitations.

"That's not right. That's a mature timeline formed through the influence of generations of protagonists. So why can't we use a first-generation time traveler?"

The so-called first generation does not refer to multiple time travelers, but rather to repeated time travels, referring to the number of times time travelers travel.

"I may be the first generation."

Uchiha Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes. "Wait, there's only one soul, so why could it have traversed so many generations?"

Transmigrators are from outside the Naruto world and don't belong to its system. They only have one soul, so how could there be multiple generations?

"After a transmigrator dies, their soul will gradually be assimilated into the Naruto world, or rather, it will..."

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi thought of the Pure Land.

There is no reincarnation in the ninja world; after death, the soul returns to the Pure Land. So, does the Pure Land have a capacity limit? Will the ninja world eventually decline?

After the destruction of the ninja world, the energy returned, going back to the beginning of the timeline, recreating the world, and the cycle continued.

Will the soul of a time traveler also "recover memories" at a specific time, and then repeat this process over and over again until it escapes this fate and transcends it?

"Forget it, this is the world of the original story, there are no time travelers, so fanfiction isn't very useful for reference. I'd better not think about it."

The most important thing right now is not that, but the research.

To say that Uchiha Kiyoshi was a cultivator is actually a bit of a misrepresentation. Even though what he wanted most deep down was cultivation and immortality, what he was actually doing all along was a different profession.

researcher.

To study the principles of magic, to study the path of cultivation, to study the essence of the world, to study everything...

At this time, a time-traveling experience brought Uchiha Kiyoshi many insights.

"Huh? The eye technique seems to be working again."

Perhaps influenced by the changing times and atmosphere, Uchiha Kiyoshi's eye technique had also been fully developed.

"Let's find some time to experiment with it."

His thoughts returned to where they had just ended, and Uchiha Kiyoshi gradually became lost in thought.

"If the river of fate existed and everything followed this script, it would be far too boring."

Uchiha Kiyoshi's lips gradually curled up.

"A world that's all the same is just too boring. Everything has a fixed fate, so what's the point of it all? Maybe changing the course of the world, altering the timeline of my current point, breaking free from the original script, would be much more interesting, and that might be the key to my transcendence!"

The world needs to change.
