Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

In the second year of King Ling's reign, in the spring.

Konoha Village, the City of Fire.

Spring is in full bloom, and even the smallest blade of grass is bathed in its warmth.

"Naruto!"

"Sass here!"

On the empty Uchiha training plaza, two young figures shouted each other's names and attacked each other fiercely. After dozens of exchanges of Hakuda and Taijutsu combined, the two simultaneously separated.

“巳-未-申…”

Wearing a standard Uchiha short-sleeved shirt, Sasuke formed a hand seal with one hand, and at the same time, a powerful aura of spiritual energy began to gather in his palm.

The next moment, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly puffed out his cheeks and spat out an extremely hot fireball, while a ball of blazing, dazzling flames also condensed in his palm!

Fire Release: Exploding Azure Flame Fall!

The fireball and the explosive flames intertwined and merged, instantly forming a powerful and scorching fire escaping. The scalding air surged forth, and its terrifying power made the onlookers turn their heads in awe.

"This level of power is no less than an A-rank ninjutsu released by a Jonin," said Nara Shikamaru, son of Nara Shikakichi, the current head of the Nara clan, with a shocked expression.

"The spiritual power is just too strong." Beside him, a chubby little boy with the character "food" embroidered on his chest and two red swirls painted on his cheeks was reclining under the shade of a big tree, eating potato chips with gusto. "And I also heard that Naruto has mastered the Fourth Hokage's signature move. Sasuke probably can't win."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Sass will definitely win!"

The pink-haired girl said angrily, and at the same time punched the chubby boy on the head, making the potato chips in his mouth fly everywhere!

"Ah! My potato chips! My head!"

"What a violent woman." Yamanaka Ino snorted, her face flushed with hearts. "Naruto-kun looks so cool right now. If you ask me, Naruto-kun will definitely win this time."

Rumble!

Faced with the surging, scorching fireball, Naruto showed no panic. Instead, he drew several kunai from his waist and hurled them out.

In an instant, Naruto's figure disappeared from the spot and directly attacked the location of the kunai. However, Sasuke's three-tomoe eyes had already locked onto the location of the kunai, and his hands suddenly pulled in the air.

Just as Naruto, who had just activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, was about to attack Sasuke, he felt a tightening sensation on his body.

"Idiot! Hado #11: Lightning Bolt!"

Sasuke's Sharingan swirled in his eyes, and spiritual energy condensed in his palm once more. The Kido technique, which he had been preparing for, was released in an instant.

A dazzling bolt of lightning struck Naruto with lightning speed along the steel wire, turning his entire body black and even singeing his blond hair. He twitched twice before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"Even the Flying Thunder God Technique is nothing in front of my eyes."

Sasuke, hands in his pockets, confidently walked up to the charred Naruto and said arrogantly, "Losing to Hinata was enough; I won't lose to your family..."

Bang!

Suddenly, the charred Naruto in front of him turned into smoke and disappeared with a bang. Beneath him, an unharmed Naruto burst out of the ground and punched Sasuke directly in the chin with One-Punch Man.

"What?!" Sasuke's pupils contracted as he flew backward, instinctively wanting to unleash his Kido.

Naruto appeared in front of Sasuke in an instant, a smug look on his face.

"The Sharingan can't see through shadow clones, Sassa!"

"boom!"

Naruto's elbow strike was aimed straight at Sasuke's abdomen, but a flat barrier appeared in Sasuke's abdomen, blocking Naruto's attack.

"But I can use the Sharingan to better circulate spiritual energy!"

"Thirty-nine of the Binding Dao: Round Gate Fan!"

The next moment, Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hands and slammed his forehead, which was covered by a headband, into Naruto's nose. The blow was so powerful that Naruto's nose started bleeding profusely.

Naruto gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and with his head held high, he retaliated by striking Sasuke as well.

"You bastard, come on!"

"Idiot, do you think I'd lose to you?!"

The two little guys bared their teeth and snarled, like fierce puppies, colliding with all their might, until they both ended up with bloodied heads.

Such a scene, resembling children arguing, was not surprising to the onlookers.

Among the students of their class, apart from Hinata, who is an exceptionally talented individual, the most outstanding students are Sasuke and Naruto, the sons of the Hokage.

The rivalry between the two has never stopped since the start of the school year. Originally, Naruto couldn't control his chakra well due to the presence of the Nine-Tails, and could only rely on his own superior physique, so he was always overshadowed by Sasuke.

Now that the Nine-Tails is no longer inside Naruto, his chakra control is extremely excellent under Kushina's tutelage, and he has even begun to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique from Minato Namikaze.

Although it's just the basics, it's more than enough to dominate in a battle of this level.

If Sasuke hadn't awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan and hadn't been so talented in Kido, he might have already been left behind by Naruto.

"Die!"

Boruto, standing in the corner, stared wide-eyed at the two people bowing to each other in the arena, his face full of admiration: "I never imagined that Mame-chan and Sasuke-sensei were so strong even when they were young. Can I become this strong too?!"

"If you can completely integrate the spiritual seed within you, transforming chakra into spiritual power, and then properly learn the Demonic Strike Technique and Quincy Technique, theoretically you can do it too." Beside Boruto, Hinata, dressed in a pure white Hyuga traditional robe, said calmly, "So, in the world you live in, are you my and Naruto's son?"

"Uh, yes."

Boruto scratched his head and glanced at his mother, who was in this world, with some fear.

From his brief previous contact and the time he has spent living in this world, he has come to know that this world is different from the world he lives in.

His mother and father didn't seem to have much of an emotional bond, and many people in this world didn't have parents who were part of his world.

For example, Uncle Shikamaru!

Boruto remembers very clearly that Shikamaru's uncle was a guy named Nara Shikaku, who was an outstanding conductor and the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces in the Fourth Shinobi World War!

However, in this world, Shikamaru's father is named Nara Shikakichi, and Nara Shikaku died in the Third Shinobi World War.

Boruto doesn't know why this is happening, but that's not the point. The point is that Hinata in this world seems to be very interested in the 'Hinata' of the world he's in.

"I also have a younger sister named Whirlpool Himawari. She inherited Mom's eye-rolling tendencies, and her personality and temperament are also more like Mom's..."

"No need, I can check it myself." Hinata Hyuga shook her head, interrupting Boruto Uzumaki's words, and then raised her palm, aiming it at Boruto's chest in Boruto's horrified eyes.

Emerald green spiritual energy surged forth, and its eyes silently transformed into the Reincarnation Eyes, resembling stars.

With the help of chakra, Hinata gradually unearthed all of Boruto's secrets and memories.

Especially the gentle and graceful appearance of that woman made Hinata feel a little dazed.

This is exactly the kind of person she longed for in her heart: a virtuous wife and loving mother. However, the person in her heart is not the Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki from Boruto's memories, nor is he the Naruto Uzumaki from this world.

Even her idea was seen by the world as somewhat contrary to the will of Heaven.

But isn't love inherently complex?

After a long while, Hinata Hyuga calmly released her hand, then condensed a ball of spiritual energy and merged it into Boruto's body.

"This spiritual power contains some of my understanding of the Sword-Slaying Demon Walker. Consider it a gift for our first meeting. But please understand that I have absolutely no relation to your mother in this world."

"I...I understand." Boruto was a little timid, but after feeling the extra things in his mind, he was stunned, then bowed deeply to Hinata and said loudly, "Thank you, thank you Mom...thank you, Lady Hinata!"

Hinata ignored Boruto and turned to leave, but on another high-rise building, the Seventh Hokage, Tsunade, looked rather strange. Then, she glanced at Mei Terumi, who was standing to the side with a stiff expression, discussing political matters.

"Speaking of which, our King of Spirits should be of marriageable age by now, right?" Tsunade glanced at the image in the crystal ball and said meaningfully, "As the King of Spirits' childhood friend, with your capable assistant from the same clan, Akira Minazuki, and your close subordinates, Yumi Uzumaki and Yukiko Touna... it seems like we're about to have another rebellious disciple from the Hyuga clan."

It's like bringing up a sore spot. Just thinking about the relationships between the women she worked with and Minazuki Yoru made Terumi Mei feel incredibly depressed.

Although those people are all outstanding and trustworthy partners in life, in battle, and in handling serious matters, when it comes to Minazuki Yoru... she was the one who arrived first!

"Hmph, it seems Lady Tsunade is at the age where she should be thinking about marriage." Feeling Tsunade's teasing gaze, Mei Terumi said irritably, "Even if the Yin Seal can freeze time, if your mental age is too old, you'll still become an 'old woman'!"

"At least I still have the Yin Seal, right?"

"I, who possess spiritual power, will not simply grow old like this! Moreover, I heard that the Spiritual Arts Academy has gathered quite a few souls, among which there seems to be an extremely special soul entity, even possessing the potential to be a captain. I think its name is... 'Duan', right?"

"what?!"

Tsunade suddenly stood up, her face full of shock, her beautiful eyes fixed on Mei Terumi: "Lady Mei, are you sure this news is true? Is Duan's soul really already in the Spiritual Arts Academy?!"

Seeing the anxious look on Tsunade's face, Mei Terumi, having regained the upper hand, snorted and said, "Who knows? Lady Tsunade can go and see for herself."

Tsunade's expression changed, and Mei Terumi's gaze returned to Hinata Hyuga within the crystal ball.

"That bastard...we really need to speed things up!"

Chapter 363 Parallel World

"Is this the latest research finding?"

An invisible empire, a colossal tree reaching for the sky, within a mist-shrouded palace.

Mizuki Yoru looked at the humanoid creature in front of her, which seemed to be a void but had many wooden tissues on its body, with some surprise and a very curious expression.

After devouring the Ten-Tails, Minazuki Yoru left the Gedo Mazo's shell to Yukiko and the others, so that they could study it together with Orochimaru.

Later, as various scientific research tasks were continuously assigned, the research on the Ten-Tails eventually fell to Orochimaru.

With his outstanding research abilities and the Ten-Tails inside Isshiki's body as a specimen, after a year and a massive investment of resources, Orochimaru produced a truly remarkable report and handed it over to Minazuki Yoru.

A special organism created using the Ten-Tails' tissue!

"I used the Ten-Tails' organization to fuse the power of Hollows and Shinigami, and after adding Quincy's spiritual power to balance it, I created these guys by referring to the concept of clones of Isshiki Otsutsuki."

Orochimaru looked at the monsters bound by spiritual energy shackles with considerable pride.

These creatures look like deformed White Zetsu modified from gray and white Hollows, but their energy reactions are exceptionally outstanding.

"These guys have an extremely obvious thirst for energy. As long as there is enough energy, the cells in their bodies can divide continuously, thereby constantly evolving to improve their strength and life level."

"Moreover, because they all come from the Ten-Tails, they all possess the ability to absorb energy."

Orochimaru pointed at the strongest of the special life forms and simultaneously unleashed a burst of spiritual power, shooting out a bolt of white lightning from his fingertip.

The white lightning was as swift as light and struck the special life form. However, instead of posing any threat to the special life form, it was devoured into its body!

"A seal of absorption techniques, is it?"

Mizuki Yoru was somewhat surprised: "I even sensed the beginnings of a pupil power within their bodies."

"It's the Rinnegan!"

Orochimaru proudly stated, "These creations were all modified using the Ten-Tails' chakra. Although they cannot yet compare to the true Divine Tree in terms of strength, they can indeed continuously evolve towards the Ten-Tails once they absorb enough energy."

"This includes, but is not limited to, Wood Release, Rinnegan, and energy absorption."

"In a sense, they are all seeds of the Ten-Tails, only their potential may not be as high as that of the Ten-Tails God Tree."

"Very good, you haven't disappointed me, Orochimaru." Minazuki Yoru nodded in satisfaction.

If the Ten-Tails has been studied to this extent in just one year, then the replication of the Divine Tree seed should be completed very soon.

At that time, their ninja world will also have the basic tools for planetary invasion!

Just as Mizuki Yoru was admiring Orochimaru's latest research, a figure suddenly appeared outside the palace, and a respectful voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the plow has been found!"

"oh?!"

……

"This is it! It was this thing that Urashiki Otsutsuki used to bring Boruto and me here!"

Inside the former Mizukage's office, middle-aged Sasuke looked at the pink and white turtle that Mizuki Yoru was playing with in his hand with some excitement.

When they traveled to this world, he and Boruto arrived in Konoha, while Urashiki Otsutsuki arrived late. However, neither of them nor Urashiki Otsutsuki obtained the plow.

Furthermore, the plow, a native treasure of this world, was lost from Isshiki's possession due to Kaguya's sneak attack. If we were to be precise, there should be two plows in the ninja world at this moment.

However, the great wars that swept through the ninja world one after another caused Plow to disappear without a trace. The middle-aged Sasuke and Boruto had even prepared to survive in this world for a long time, since searching for a treasure like Plow, which had no clues, in the vast ninja world was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But to my surprise, we found it in just over a year!

"Wait a minute, if it has the power to travel through time, it should have some special features, right? Why does it look... just like a dead turtle?"

Sarah looked at the pink and white turtle in Ye's hand with a face full of suspicion. She just couldn't connect the dead turtle with 'time travel'.

You must know that the dragon vein she came into contact with was an unimaginably vast chakra, a force no less powerful than that of a tailed beast.

In Sarah's view, only that level of power could reasonably open the portal to another space-time, allowing people to travel to another world.

Relying on this dead turtle?
