From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

When Naruto came to see him today, he revealed some of Sasuke's background to Toneri.

Sasuke nodded: "Okay, I agree."

"Oh?" Sasuke's quick agreement surprised Toneri Otsutsuki somewhat. He chuckled and then teased, "..."

"Sasuke-kun agreed without even asking why. Aren't you afraid of regretting it?"

Sasuke smiled in response to Toneri Otsutsuki's teasing and replied, "I'll repay you with a peach in return!"

Although he had never met Otsutsuki Toneri before, and had no connection with him whatsoever, Otsutsuki Toneri had been very accommodating and open with Sasuke ever since Sasuke arrived in the area.

Although the Seventh Hokage was involved, to be fair, he did owe Toneri Otsutsuki a favor.

Sasuke has never liked owing favors to others and is a straightforward person.

Since Otsutsuki Toneri was so agreeable, Sasuke didn't hesitate and agreed without asking what it was about.

Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Toneri shook his head and chuckled, "Sasuke-kun is quite an interesting person indeed."

"What is it? Please tell me."

"........."

Otsutsuki Toneri's smile vanished, his expression turning serious. He said, "I hope that Sasuke-kun can guide me in your world and prevent me from going astray like I have and committing unforgivable sins."

So that's what it was!

Actually, Sasuke had a rough idea of ​​what kind of help Otsutsuki Toneri wanted him to do just now.

Despite Toneri's seemingly enlightened demeanor, Sasuke understands that he is currently filled with guilt.

Although the attempt to destroy the world more than a decade ago was successfully stopped by the Seventh Hokage Naruto, the moon was briefly cut in two.

After being accelerated over 40 kilometers and amplified by inertial gravity, those fragmented meteorites were nothing short of a natural disaster for many places.

Not to mention that the gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon were chaotic during that period, causing massive tsunamis in many coastal areas.

Therefore, although Toneri's attempt to destroy the world failed, the damage he caused to the ninja world was no less than that of launching a ninja world war that swept across the ninja world!

That's why, after being defeated by Naruto Uzumaki and understanding the true meaning of his ancestor Hamura Otsutsuki, he refused Naruto's invitation to go to Earth.

Instead, he chose to return to the moon, to silently atone for his sins and protect the world.

"Please, Sasuke-kun!"

As he spoke, Otsutsuki Toneri stood up and was about to bow to Sasuke.

"Hey...."

Sasuke sighed and caught Otsutsuki Toneri before he could bow, moving with incredible speed.

“I am grateful for your kindness and will naturally repay you. I have already agreed to your request. If you still bow to me, I don’t know what to do.”

Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Toneri remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "That's true, then I won't make things difficult for you, Sasuke-kun."

"Sasuke, although you agreed to my request, there are some things I need to tell you."

After the two sat down again, Otsutsuki Toneri said in a solemn tone:

"Although your current strength far surpasses mine at the same age, I had the Purple Tenseigan Stone at that time and could control some of the power of the Great Tenseigan. So before you successfully fuse with Hamura's bloodline or awaken the Rinnegan like you in this world, never set foot on the moon, and never easily attract his attention."

"it is good!"

Seeing Sasuke nod, Toneri Otsutsuki breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that someone as young as Sasuke, who possessed such great strength, would be very arrogant and difficult to persuade, but he hadn't expected Sasuke to be so easy to talk to.

In fact, Toneri Otsutsuki did not know that Sasuke was more cowardly, or rather, more cautious, than he imagined.

Aside from the fact that awakening the Kaleidoscope Eyes carries a sense of taking a desperate gamble, he always thinks things through carefully before acting.

In the original timeline, Sasuke, with only three tomoe, dared to kill Orochimaru, and after just awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, he dared to confront Danzo head-on.

Sasuke did all these things after he awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he did so with great care and caution.

When weak, one can lie low; when strong, one can feign weakness.

That is the way of the strong!

“Sasuke-kun, this scroll seals some of my chakra. It contains some words I want to say to my past self. This should be enough to gain his trust in you.”

As they were talking, Otsutsuki Toneri took out a scroll and handed it over.

"However, my thinking was very extreme at that time. I imagine you would encounter his attack the moment you took your first step onto the moon!"

"It seems a major battle is inevitable."

Sasuke smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"Not bad!"

Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Toneri also laughed.

After the two talked for a while, Sasuke bid farewell to Toneri, who did not try to stop them and watched them leave with a smile.

"I hope you can live a different life in the other world!"

At the castle gate, Otsutsuki Toneri "watched" the backs of the two figures departing in the flying vehicle, and murmured softly:

Over the years, Sheren has been filled with remorse for the sins he committed back then, but remorse is of no use, and time cannot be turned back.

He could only choose to silently atone for his sins until the day he died.

When Naruto approached him today, he brought him a great surprise.

The sins he committed are irreparable, but he still has a chance to save his other self in another world.

Even if the person in question knows that he is not me, and even if this matter is meaningless to him, if the other self in another world can live a different life.

Isn't that a good thing?

At least I won't live my whole life feeling guilty and ashamed like I have!

With a soft sigh, Otsutsuki Toneri's expression turned serious again as he looked up at the vast starry sky.

"An extraterrestrial!"

Thinking of what Naruto had told him this morning about the extraterrestrials, Otsutsuki Toneri frowned, his voice a mixture of nostalgia, hesitation, and pain as he murmured:

"The Tenseigan..."

Chapter 272 Returning to the Original Time and Space.

This world.

The Loulan ruins, at the central tower.

Queen Sara stared blankly at the Dragon Vein Altar, where the light had completely dissipated and no one was to be seen. She was immediately stunned.

"Disappeared?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Queen Sarah seemed to remember something and murmured, "Could it be that he traveled to another time and space through the power of the dragon vein?"

If someone had told her before her memories returned that dragon veins could allow people to travel through time, Queen Sara would have taken it as a joke.

As the former Queen of Loulan, Queen Sara knew that the Loulan Dragon Vein was a powerful energy aggregate formed after absorbing the spiritual energy of the earth for hundreds of years, and had nothing to do with time and space.

However, more than ten years ago, someone did indeed come to this world through the dragon vein.

It now seems that the person who disappeared was either killed by the rampaging dragon vein and left with no trace, or like the boy from before, traveled to another time and space.

"If you were to travel through time, I wonder if you would have traveled into that boy's world?"

Thinking of that sunny boy who never gave up, Queen Sarah's face was filled with complex emotions, and she sighed.

Shaking her head, Queen Sarah put aside her complicated thoughts and looked at the calm dragon vein altar with some hesitation.

Should we go? Or wait a little longer?

Um! ?

As Queen Sarah was hesitating, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

The dragon vein, which had calmed down, has changed again!

Sensing the increasingly powerful energy fluctuations and a certain resonance within her body, Queen Sara's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently once again, as if a dragon were turning over. Along with the violent shaking of the earth, an extraordinary surge of chakra from the dragon vein burst forth, transforming into a blinding purple light!

Queen Sara instinctively closed her eyes and took several steps back. When the light disappeared and Queen Sara reopened her eyes, she saw a tall, black-haired boy appear at the Dragon Vein Altar.

He is back!

Although this young man was different from the burly, fair-haired boy she had seen before, Queen Sarah recognized him at a glance.

"vomit..."

As soon as Sasuke landed, he felt a dizzying sensation, as if he were being driven by an experienced driver on a winding mountain road. His stomach churned, and he began to vomit repeatedly.

Why is the situation so much more serious this time than when I left?

After gagging a few times, Sasuke regained his footing and began to speculate in his mind.

Having learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, Sasuke naturally knew that this intense dizziness was a feeling of being detached from space and time.

This sense of temporal and spatial separation is not unique to dragon veins; it is also present in Kamui and Yomijin, and even in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Sasuke never expected the sense of time-space separation to be so severe this time. Even with his current strong eye power, he almost vomited.

Is it because the longer you stay in another world, the stronger the sense of separation between time and space becomes?

After all, in the original timeline, the Seventh Hokage Naruto and Yamato spent half a day in the alternate timeline before falling into a coma upon returning to their own world.

Sasuke, on the other hand, stayed in the alternate dimension for three days, several times longer than Naruto and Yamato had been. If it weren't for his strong mental energy, he probably would have fallen into a coma like them.

'Thankfully, I didn't have the wild idea that I was cultivating in another world for a period of time. It's only been three days and I'm already like this. If it had been a month, or even half a year, I'm afraid I would have returned as a vegetable.'

Sasuke felt a sense of relief. When he was there, he had considered training there for a while before leaving.

As soon as the idea popped into his head, Sasuke felt a vague unease and promptly abandoned it.

Shaking his head and taking a deep breath, Sasuke quickly checked the bundle on his body.

"Everything is still here!"

Seeing that everything he had obtained from another world was still intact in the package, without even the slightest damage, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his lips.
