The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 596 Activation

Although Hinata and Neji were rescued, many other comrades on the battlefield were not so lucky.

In this fierce battle, they were ultimately no match for the Ten-Tails' ferocious and brutal attacks, and one after another they fell into pools of blood.

Seeing the horrific scene before him, Obito shouted angrily at Naruto:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let anyone hurt your companions?"

"Naruto!"

"You said you would never let anyone hurt my comrades, right?"

Large beads of sweat appeared on Naruto's forehead.

He looked down in terror at the nine-tailed cloak that shimmered with crimson light on his body, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

Neji was just a hair's breadth away from dying from that cutting technique!

No, that's not right!

Naruto's mind was suddenly struck by lightning, and countless memories surged forth like a tidal wave.

In just a moment, those memories flashed through his mind like a movie playing.

The first thing that catches the eye is the scene of Neji rushing towards him without regard for his own safety, using his body to block the fatal blow.

Then, a series of subsequent scenes followed.

However, just as these images were about to be fully presented, they shattered instantly, like fragile glass.

As the fragments of memory dissipated, a figure dressed in Uchiha clan attire gradually emerged.

The man smiled and said:

"Let me introduce myself, I am Uchiha Chiyo."

"If you can see this far, it means you have successfully rescued Neji."

"According to the original course of fate, he was supposed to sacrifice himself here to save you."

"However, my intervention changed the outcome for you."

At this point, Uchiha Chiyo paused slightly, then solemnly instructed Naruto:

"Now there is an important task for you to complete. After your son becomes Sasuke's apprentice, be sure to give him this bead to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the memory deep in Naruto's mind of traveling back to Loulan twenty years ago was completely restored, like a flood bursting its banks.

At this moment, Naruto finally clearly recalled the scene.

Uchiha Chiyo personally fed himself a mysterious bead.

When he came to his senses from this long recollection, he was surprised to find that time around him did not seem to have passed much.

After all, the series of memories that flashed through my mind just now only happened in a fleeting moment.

At the same time, Obito's menacing voice could be heard from the outside world.

He stood high above the Ten-Tails' head, his face twisted into a near-grotesque grimace, glaring fiercely at the crowd below.

"The killing will continue, and your childish words and ideas will eventually become nothingness."

"This is the result of empty talk about ideals and hopes."

"This is reality."

"Naruto, what is there to cherish about this reality? Your parents are gone, and your master Jiraiya has also left you."

"And if you continue to resist, your companions will fall one by one like this."

"You will live in a world where no one recognizes you."

"What awaits you ahead is something you are both very familiar with and most afraid of."

"Lonely!"

Hinata and Neji, who had miraculously survived, stared at Naruto with deep concern, fearing that Naruto would be unable to withstand the immense pressure and suffer a mental breakdown.

However, at this moment, Naruto had already received fragments of memories about the upcoming great battle that Chiyo had passed on to him.

Those horrific scenes kept flashing through his mind, causing a dramatic change in his expression.

Naruto's eyes were like torches as he stared intently at Obito not far away, his expression unusually serious, as if he wanted to see right through him.

Even if Hinata hadn't slapped him before, he no longer felt lost or helpless.

Because in the originally predetermined course of fate, Neji had already sacrificed himself once to save him.

Today, this heavy past has become the unwavering belief that supports Naruto's heart.

Naruto looked at Kurama inside his body and asked in a deep voice:

"Nine Lama, are you ready?"

At this very moment, Kurama sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, also witnessing the awe-inspiring images that Chiyo had instilled in Naruto. It responded:

"Yes, thanks to that person named Uchiha Chiyo, my power has been restored ahead of schedule!"

Just then, Obito outside was still babbling on, trying to break Naruto's will with words, but his scheme was clearly doomed to fail.

Because Naruto suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, a magnificent tailed beast cloak instantly covered his entire body.

He demonstrated to everyone through his actions that he hadn't listened to a single word Obito said.

With a sudden swipe of the sharp claws formed from the Tailed Beast Cloak, Naruto easily pulled Neji behind him and said with concern:

"Neji, your chakra is almost completely depleted. Retreat to the back and recuperate. Leave the rest of the battle to me!"

Neji smiled with relief when he saw that Naruto hadn't been discouraged at all.

When Naruto saw Neji still alive, he was deeply moved and almost burst into tears.

I silently thought to myself.

[Thank you, Lord Uchiha Chiyo. I will give this bead to my son to eat.]

……

Within the spacetime tunnel, Qianyao floated forward as if swimming.

The surroundings were chaotic, with no clear distinction between up, down, left, or right, as if one were in an endless void maze.

However, thanks to his special sensory ability with his clone, Qianyao was always able to clearly perceive the location of his clone.

He adjusted his flight attitude and floated slowly forward, like swimming.

Not long ago, after he absorbed the dragon vein from Naruto's timeline, the dragon vein energy in his body was greatly enhanced.

He can stay in the time tunnel for a while now.

Just now, he realized that his clone had been activated once in Naruto's timeline.

This means that the Fourth Shinobi World War is already underway over there.

At this moment, he himself had only just stepped into this strange time-space passage.

"Just as I expected, time flows very quickly here."

Qian Yao pondered to himself.

As far as he knew, Naruto's time travel back was only about half a year before the Fourth Shinobi World War.

So, if we follow this logic, we can infer the spacetime in which Minato is located and the spacetime in which he originally was.

How much time has actually passed? Was it also half a year?
