How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

This phantom appeared when the Duke was still very weak when he first came to this world. It claimed to be the world consciousness and said that it was the one who chose the Duke to come to this world, to protect him from being discovered by the Sage of Six Paths who has now seized power. Its mission is to help him drive the Sage of Six Paths off the throne and restore the planet to its original state.

It seemed like the whole world was being bet on him, but to be honest, the Duke wasn't very credible about what this so-called world consciousness was saying, but he had no other choice.

At least for now, there's no choice; we're forced onto the same rope as this phantom.

"The Sage of Six Paths has discovered him?" If the Sage of Six Paths discovers him, the Duke doesn't know what will happen yet. After all, the original work only portrays the Sage of Six Paths in a few scenes and a legend. He can't possibly deduce the Sage of Six Paths' personality based on those few scenes.

Even in classic shonen manga, there's no shortage of seemingly kind-hearted characters.

"...The Six Paths were not enough to detect us; it was Black Zetsu. It seems that the Six Paths discovered Black Zetsu beforehand," the phantom said.

Has Black Zetsu been discovered?

The Duke was somewhat puzzled by this. In his understanding, since the Sage of Six Paths had taken over the position of the world's consciousness and gained the ability to control the world, Black Zetsu should have discovered it long ago. So why was Black Zetsu discovered ahead of time?

Moreover, this phantom figure explicitly stated that it could only guarantee that he alone would not be detected by the Sage of Six Paths.

"Black Zetsu and the Six Paths share the same origin," the phantom added, as if explaining.

However, this also has many problems.

First of all, Black Zetsu is a creation of Yin-Yang Release, so the idea that he shares the same origin as the Sage of Six Paths is simply unfounded. Even if the Sage of Six Paths was not the best, he was still half of the Otsutsuki bloodline. How could a creation of ninjutsu share the same origin as the Sage of Six Paths?

Just the same mother?

“I see.” The Duke nodded, his expression relaxing. “That must have been Miss Fox’s doing. Black Zetsu’s exposure must have been due to a breakdown in negotiations between Miss Fox and it.”

Miss Fox had previously discussed with him that if they wanted to overthrow the Sage of Six Paths, contacting and cooperating with Black Zetsu was one way, which she called the "heavy-taste Kaguya Otsutsuki route."

Based on the outcome, it was natural for the Duke to attribute the cause of the incident to Miss Fox.

"Then what do we need to do?" the Duke asked.

"No need, you just need to find a way to become stronger," the phantom replied, giving the same answer as when the Duke wanted to do something else.

This time, however, the phantom did not end the conversation as it had in the past. Instead, it stared at the Duke and continued, "The guy you found has found the dragon vein. Things will change in the future."

Will it change in the future, or will it still be used here?

The Duke paused for a moment, but quickly realized that he had never told the phantom about the plot development of Naruto, so the future was unknown to the phantom. It was reasonable that it wasn't used in the story of Black Zetsu being discovered by the Sage of Six Paths in advance.

However, if it's used to describe Miss Fox, then it becomes a bit intriguing.

Are dragon veins really that magical?

"..." This time, the phantom did not answer, ceasing its movements and remaining motionless as usual, indicating that its mission to inform the Duke of the development of the situation had been completed.

The Duke's eyelids twitched involuntarily, utterly speechless at the phantom.

They were clearly in the same boat, with all necessary partners involved, yet the man always acted superior, as if everything he said and did was a favor to the Duke, which was hardly a healthy partnership.

The arrogance emanating from that phantom is truly infuriating.

"Forget it, let's get stronger first."

The phantom always followed him, ostensibly to protect him from being discovered by the Sage of Six Paths, making it difficult for the Duke to do anything freely.

He decided to wait and see how things unfolded, and Miss Fox's arrival suited his purposes perfectly!

Chapter 234 I missed you so much, little brother!

Kaguya's third son, who had no name and was the brother of the Sage of Six Paths, let's call him Black Zetsu, the name given to him by Madara Uchiha in the original future.

Black Zetsu sensed that something was wrong.

Today was just like any other day. The manager was concerned about the growth of his two nephews and, as before, was working hard to get them back on the right track.

As a result of today's events, his uncle felt that something was wrong with the world. This world was not the world he knew anymore. This world had betrayed him!

First, a being suddenly appeared who was even more powerful than him in terms of earth-遁术 (earth-遁术, a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth) and stealth ability. Right under his nose, the being kidnapped his nephew. The speed of the kidnapping was so great that even he, the uncle, could not keep up for long before losing sight of the target.

Not long after, Black Zetsu sensed that something even more amiss had occurred.

A gaze was relentlessly sweeping across the entire world, from the sky to the mountains, forests, caves, and oceans, searching in every direction. It also swept over him multiple times, finally settling precisely on him, hidden underground.

He's been exposed!

As the illegitimate child secretly born when my mother was contradicted by her two unfilial brothers, he has been hidden since my mother was imprisoned on the moon, but now he has suddenly been exposed!

Black Zetsu racked his brains but still couldn't understand how his two foolish brothers, who dared to defy their mother, had learned of his existence!

"Fortunately, I wasn't careless and managed to escape immediately!"

Hiding underground, Black Zetsu concealed his aura and barely escaped his foolish brother's lock-on.

Because he was an illegitimate child created by his mother on short notice, he was relatively weak and did not possess the strength of his two older brothers, nor could he confront those two foolish brothers head-on.

However, it is still possible to hide oneself from being discovered.

It's a pity that his existence has been exposed, and the efforts he has put into his two nephews over the past few centuries will likely be in vain.

"Those two foolish brothers who defied Mother probably don't know that I'm also Mother's son. They've most likely only noticed the traces of Yin-Yang Release I accidentally left behind. As long as I hide for a while..."

In this way, it can be said that all the efforts of the past years have been in vain.

But Black Zetsu understands the principle that as long as there is life, there is hope. Since he has not yet fulfilled his mother's long-cherished wish of liberating her and does not have the power to fight against his foolish brother, temporarily avoiding conflict is the best option.

As long as he exists, the possibility of saving Mother will never be lost, and as long as we keep moving forward, the road will continue to extend.

Even if this plan, which has been in the works for many years, goes down the drain, sooner or later his mission will be accomplished, and those two foolish brothers will eventually be greeted by the reappearance of their mother!

"Don't think you've won this time, brother!"

Black Zetsu, cursing and swearing, retreated deeper underground, intending to cease activity for a while and continue to wait for an opportunity to rescue Mother from the moon as soon as possible!

Based on his understanding of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu was confident that he could evade detection, modify his plan, and find another way to rescue his mother. It was unlikely that someone would suddenly appear and find him like the guy who suddenly appeared and kidnapped his nephew.

Just wait, one day, this world will welcome Mother's return!

"Chenxiang is really good at dodging!"

"Pure Land," the old-looking Sage of Six Paths sighed, frowning.

Despite his familiarity with Yin-Yang Release and the meticulous scanning of the entire planet supported by the Pure Land that has been established for many years, he still couldn't find any trace of the younger brother his mother had created for them—Otsutsuki Shinohara.

They only found some traces of the younger brother's plan to liberate their mother, such as the altered inscription on the Uchiha clan's stone tablet. It's a pity; they thought everything was fine when they locked onto it, but they were careless. They didn't expect Chenxiang to dodge.

"Sigh, it really is a contingency plan left by my mother. Her ability to hide is truly first-rate."

Whether in fire, water, grass, forest, earth, clouds, or among that girl's group, they could no longer find the figure of their younger brother, Otsutsuki Shinohara.

“Brother, I still find it hard to believe what you’re saying.” Another old man, Otsutsuki Hamura, the second younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, had a different opinion. “No matter what, I still can’t believe that a woman of unknown origin said that we have a younger brother who was a backup plan left by our mother before she was sealed away. You know, we haven’t been able to find any trace of him all these years. Moreover, this woman knows the name of her ‘brother’ precisely, which is even stranger.”

With a wave of his hand, Hamura Otsutsuki replaced the image with the image of the elf who was now acting with his nephew, whose body was covered in shame.

To be fair, this elf who claims to be a visitor from beyond the world is very beautiful and fits the aesthetic standards perfectly. Her figure is also so good that it seems impossible for a human to have it. Even Ōtsutsuki Hamura thought that if he were a few thousand years younger, he might have acted impulsively.

"No matter how I look at her, apart from her unusually pointed ears, I can't see anything special about her."

"No?" The Sage of Six Paths was full of doubt, wondering if this person was his younger brother.

"No!" Hamura Otsutsuki said firmly!

"Can you sense the power she cultivates? It's not chakra; it's similar to natural energy, yet it's not natural energy..."

The Sage of Six Paths was suddenly taken aback, realizing that his younger brother was not very familiar with natural energy.

Just as his two sons took different paths, he and Hamura also took different paths because they inherited different things from their mother.

Although both eventually reached the Yin-Yang Release that the Otsutsuki clan would inevitably master, Hamura did so through the Tenseigan, while he also followed the path of Sage Mode during the evolution of his eyes. Therefore, Hamura only had a general understanding of natural energy, but was not particularly familiar with it.

Moreover, the difference between his future daughter-in-law and natural energy is quite subtle; even he wouldn't notice it without careful observation, so it's normal that Hamura wouldn't be able to tell either.

"Sigh... I don't know how to explain it to you. Those who understand, understand."

"..."

The two brothers fell into an eerie silence...

"hiss!"

It wasn't until the main character in the scene, Miss Fox, suddenly shivered in the scorching desert that the two brothers were able to get back on track.

However, Miss Fox's next words during the live stream put both brothers in an awkward position—

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I'm being stalked by that lecherous old man!"

Miss Fox got goosebumps all over her body and hugged her arms tightly. She didn't look like she was in a hot desert environment at all. Instead, she looked like she should be in a cold, snowy place.

Furthermore, the fox lady, who acquired the prestigious-sounding title and divine office of "Earth Goddess" after transmigrating, had just felt a mysterious sensation—

"I have this feeling like there's a bug constantly burrowing towards the Earth's core. Did this planet give birth to Godzilla?!"

The Earth's core.

The Sage of Six Paths, who had been spying, caught the key word and quickly waved his hand. Then, the figure of Otsutsuki Shinohara, the younger brother of the Otsutsuki brothers, appeared on the big screen once again!

His dark appearance made people wonder if this younger brother was even of the same blood as them!

I've finally found you! Little brother!

Chapter 235 Hmph↓Hmph↘Hmph↗Hmph↘Hmph↑

"This is the location where the sound is the loudest."

The endless yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, with nothing in any direction, and the scorching heat even distorted the scene.

Ah, this...

"This doesn't seem like a place where a dragon vein is located at all, does it?"

Miss Fox didn't know either, and had nowhere to ask, but she just felt something was wrong.

This vast expanse of yellow sand, although the setting in the movie is quite casual, doesn't look like a place where a dragon vein gathers a large amount of chakra at all.

Generally speaking, shouldn't the location of something as auspicious as a dragon vein be a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, with terrain that subtly conforms to the principles of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, forming a naturally wondrous array, and perhaps containing an ancient tomb or something, leading to a thrilling and exciting adventure?

The result is completely different from what I expected!

"Is this place... any different from other parts of the desert?"

Don't tell her that because chakra is extracted from the life energy of a planet, it's normal for a dragon vein full of chakra to be barren.

I haven't read enough books, so I don't understand.

Madara Uchiha didn't lose his composure like Miss Fox. Born into the prestigious Uchiha clan, he had been fighting on the battlefield since childhood; what hadn't he seen?
