From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Even so, they probably wouldn't interact with the world, because the distance simply isn't enough.

But by an incredible coincidence, the streams that extend from the dragon veins of this world connect with the streams that extend from the dragon veins of Sasuke's world with remarkable precision.

This resulted in two worlds. Once either world activated the power of the dragon veins, it could travel through the other world via a small stream connecting the two.

It can be said that this is an extremely coincidental event.

It could even be said that if there really are countless parallel worlds, then from a probability standpoint, the chance of such an event occurring is almost one in a trillion.

Therefore, the power of the dragon vein cannot travel to other parallel worlds, but can only travel to this parallel world.

Of course, all of this is just what Sasuke has guessed based on a few clues. The truth remains to be verified.

It's even possible that all his current guesses are wrong, and that this world might not even be the world of Naruto Uzumaki.

'However, at that moment, I seemed to see the river of time in my original world stop flowing?'

Sasuke frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

Sasuke was slightly surprised by this discovery, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to make perfect sense.

After all, when Naruto traveled to the parallel world in the movie, he stayed in the parallel world for a day and a night, while in his original world it was just a moment.

'It seems that with the arrival of the visitor from another dimension, the flow of time in his own world will stagnate.'

'I just don't know how long this time stoppage will last? And why did time stop in the first place?'

Sasuke pondered for a while but couldn't find a clue, so he decided to temporarily put aside this profound question.

After all, he was only a novice in spatial magic, and knew absolutely nothing about time magic.

He continued to ponder, just like the philosopher Wang Yangming in his previous life, who moved a stool to the courtyard and sat facing the bamboo, thinking hard for seven days, only to fail due to a headache.

Perhaps when he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and also grasped the art of time, he will be able to glimpse the mystery of the Dragon Vein's spacetime.

Sasuke slowly stood up. He planned to leave this place and go out to see what the world was really like.

"Um....."

Sasuke had only taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something and bit his thumb.

"Spiritual communication!"

With a bang, a thick cloud of smoke billowed out, but nothing appeared.

"really!"

Seeing this, Sasuke chuckled, shook his head, and vanished from the spot like lightning.

"Ok?"

A few minutes later, Sasuke walked far away from the Loulan ruins, looking at the railway tracks on the ground and a train speeding past him, with a face full of question marks.

What Sasuke found strange wasn't the train itself, because trains also existed in his world, just less common.

As the train sped past him, Sasuke could clearly sense that what powered it was not electricity, nor a steam engine, nor a combustion engine or anything like that.

It's chakra!

"Is this going to be the first chakra industrial revolution?"

Sasuke made a comment, becoming even more certain that this world was a parallel world eighteen years in the future.

That is, February of Konoha Year 80!

However, after a short while, Sasuke gathered some information and realized that things were somewhat unexpected.

Because the current time in this world is not February of Konoha Year 80.

It was February of Konoha year 82!

That is, twenty years after Sasuke's world!

"How could this be? This world should be that parallel world, and in my calculations, the time difference between the two worlds should be eighteen years, so why is it twenty years?"

Sasuke frowned, puzzled.

"Could it be that the time difference between the two worlds has changed because of the dragon vein's passage?"

Shaking his head, Sasuke temporarily put his doubts out of his mind.

Whether it's eighteen years later or twenty years later, it doesn't make much difference to Sasuke now.

Perhaps the only difference is in the original timeline planned by Sasuke.

In about six months, this world will be attacked by Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki, right?

However, Sasuke was still very unwilling, as it meant that some of his important plans for this world were almost completely useless.

"Still too weak..."

Sasuke sighed inwardly and turned his gaze to the sky, where he seemed to see the faint moon.

Otsutsuki Toneri!

That's right, for Sasuke, who has never had a way to obtain the Otsutsuki bloodline from the moon.

The moon in this world is one of the essential reasons he came here.

When Toneri Otsutsuki was plotting to destroy the world, he was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki. After that, he understood the true meaning of his ancestor Hamura Otsutsuki and returned to the moon.

Now I've become a detached, Buddhist-like youth.

It shouldn't be difficult for Sasuke to obtain his blood, and even Toneri, who has lost both the Great Tenseigan and the Tenseigan, might not be able to defeat him in his current state.

In this way, the entire Otsutsuki bloodline is gathered!

"Let's go to Konoha first. Naruto in this world should be the Seventh Hokage. With my face and his silly deer-like personality, it shouldn't be difficult to get the whereabouts of the secret realm to the moon from him."

Sasuke spread his wings and took off, tearing through the clouds at lightning speed towards Konoha Village in this world.

This world is a huge treasure for Sasuke, containing not only Toneri Otsutsuki's cells, but also the ultimate version of the Impure World Reincarnation, the method to release the Uzumaki clan's Reaper Death Seal, and more.

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Naruto Uzumaki, after receiving a message from his best friend, realized the seriousness of the incident. He arranged a meeting place with his best friend and immediately set off, rushing towards the agreed location, the Flying Tower.

This caused Sarada, who was about to ask Naruto about her father's whereabouts, to miss her, but she did overhear Shikamaru and Naruto's conversation.

With the tacit approval of Konoha strategist Shikamaru, Sarada and Chocho Akimichi, who was suffering from a tragic heroine syndrome, embarked on a journey to find Naruto and his father.

..................

Dozens of kilometers outside Konoha Village, in a forest path within a lush forest.

Two figures, one thin and one fat, were sprinting at high speed in a ninja-like running posture.

However, compared to Sarada, who was breathing steadily, Akimichi Chocho seemed to be having a hard time. She was panting heavily and said, "Saarada, slow down. If you run so fast, the food in the bento box will be thrown up."

"No, we have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the speed of the seventh generation."

Sarada looked slightly anxious and replied without turning her head, "If we don't hurry, the bento will get cold. This is the food I promised Boruto to bring to the Seventh Generation."

Of course, besides this, Sarada also has her own little schemes.

She wanted to catch up with the seventh generation as soon as possible so that she could see her father sooner.

Thinking of this, Sarada became even more anxious, and her speed increased again.

This made Chocho Akimichi behind her feel bitter, and she showed a tearful expression. She could only grit her teeth and keep the distance between the two within a relatively visible range.

Um! ?

As Sarada sped around a corner, she saw an incredibly familiar figure, one she had longed for day and night, and her eyes narrowed sharply.

This is!?

father!

The man in her line of sight, in terms of build, height, demeanor, and hairstyle, was exactly the same as Sarada's father in the photo. (Sasuke in Shippuden was 168.0cm tall; the protagonist, due to better nutrition and improved bloodline development, is now 166.8cm.)

"dad!!"

Ok?

Sasuke, who was observing his surroundings, was startled and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

He saw a black-haired girl wearing a pink top and light-colored shorts, with scarlet glasses, running towards him with a look of surprise on her face.

Sasuke: "??????"

The girl's expression was one of overwhelming joy, as if she had finally found her long-lost father after years of wandering the ninja world. Tears streamed down her face, and her eyes turned red—not from crying, but from her Sharingan eyes turning crimson.

Sharingan?

It turned out to be the case.

Sasuke finally understood the girl's identity, shook his head, and slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the Futsu-no-Mitama sword.

"dad?"

Upon seeing this, Sarada's joyful expression froze for a moment.

next moment!

Clang!

A thunderous roar, like the cry of a thousand birds, accompanied Sasuke drawing his sword, and a highly concentrated spear of lightning shot towards Sarada.

Under this lightning-fast and fierce attack, Sarada's eyes widened, she was instantly breathless, and staggered as if she was about to fall to the ground.

tread!

Just as Sarada was about to collapse to the ground in fear, a strong and firm hand caught her.

It was Sasuke.

Sarada then realized that the lightning spear was not aimed at her at all, but at a white-haired boy who had appeared behind her at some unknown time.

The white-haired boy's expression changed, and he quickly used his specially made ninja tools to shield himself.

Boom!

The lightning exploded, creating a massive burst of sparks and shockwaves within a ten-meter radius of the point of impact, kicking up high clouds of dust.

So Dad was protecting me just now?

While Sarada was still in a daze, she heard Sasuke's calm voice as he supported her.

"Are you alright, Sarada?"
