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

Chapter 577 Message

Suddenly feeling a touch on her head, Karin was startled at first, then quickly turned her head with a look of surprise.

When she saw that familiar face, her voice trembled with excitement: "Master! You're finally back!?"

However, although Qianyao was conscious at this moment, he was unable to utter a single word.

Fortunately, he still had one last resort—illusion.

He concentrated on casting an illusion, projecting his words one by one into Karin's eyes, which were filled with surprise and anticipation.

After completing all this, Qianyao's arm, which had just been raised, fell limply down as if it had lost all its strength.

At the same time, his eyes seemed to slowly close, and he fell back into a dark slumber.

What remained in Karin's eyes were only the messages conveyed through illusion:

[Karin, other enemies have sealed off the spacetime of the ninja world. I'm currently trapped inside a spacetime tunnel.]

[I will find another way to come back, but due to the flow of time, it may be a long time before I can return.]

My return date is uncertain, so don't wait for me every day. I might not be back for many years.

[While I'm away, study sealing techniques diligently, eat properly, and don't go on a diet.]

Then Qianyao's illusion disappeared.

Karin stood there blankly, watching the illusionary image gradually dissipate before her eyes, her heart filled with helplessness.

"How could this be? Why would someone seal off the space-time continuum of the ninja world? Master is trapped in a space-time tunnel..."

Karin murmured to herself, her eyes immediately reddening.

She couldn't accept this cruel reality: her mentor, who had always been by her side and guided her growth, had suddenly lost contact with her.

Karin stretched out her trembling hands, trying to grasp the last trace of illusionary energy, but it had all vanished.

She slowly bent down, buried her head in the chest of Qianyao's clone, and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah... Master..."

Her cries echoed in the empty space, as if she were the only person left in the whole world.

After a long while, Karin finally stopped crying and stared at the profile of Chiyo's clone.

Her eyes were full of reluctance and longing, and then she took Qianyao's hand and gently rubbed it against her face.

She murmured, "Master, please come back soon, I still want to be your bride..."

……

When Qianyao's consciousness returned, he found that the dragon vein energy in his body was already very scarce.

He could only randomly choose a direction and plunge headlong into it.

Like a pebble thrown into a lake, it went straight through.

……

After Qianyao left, time quietly passed.

Despite Orochimaru's tireless research into spacetime, day and night.

Unfortunately, he had very little information related to time and space.

After a period of repeated attempts, Orochimaru finally realized that the path of exploration he was on seemed to be a dead end.

Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily shift his focus to other research projects and patiently wait for Qianyao to return on his own.

Naruto and Sasuke fell into a deep coma after that battle.

A whole month passed before the two of them slowly awoke from their deep sleep.

"hiss……"

Naruto slowly woke up, struggling to open his heavy eyelids, and what he saw was a white ceiling as white as snow.

For a moment, he was somewhat bewildered and muttered to himself:

Where am I...?

Just as Naruto was feeling confused, a familiar voice entered his ears.

"Naruto, you're awake."

Naruto turned his head at the sound and saw Sasuke sitting on another hospital bed not far from him.

Sasuke's hair was slightly disheveled, and his eyes still looked sleepy, indicating that he had just woken up not long ago.

"Sasuke, where are we?"

Naruto asked Sasuke a question with a puzzled look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke first rolled his eyes at Naruto, then raised his hand and pointed to the sign above the wall, saying irritably:

"Where else could it be? This is our Uchiha clan's exclusive hospital, of course!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's answer, Naruto subconsciously scratched his head, still feeling somewhat confused about the current situation.

However, when he reached out to check himself, he was surprised to find that he was not missing any important parts of his body.

After confirming this, Naruto felt a little more at ease, and then he got out of bed without hesitation.

"Sasuke, do you remember what exactly happened before?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly, trying hard to recall, but the images in his mind were as if shrouded in a layer of mist, blurry and unclear.

After a while, he finally spoke, "My last memory is of a sudden, excruciating pain throughout my body, and I have no recollection of anything after that."

After saying that, he turned to look at Naruto and asked, "And you? Can you remember anything?"

Naruto also fell into deep thought, and after a moment shook his head and replied:

"Just like you, I only saw the principal fighting, then my body started to hurt, and then I lost consciousness."

Just then, Naruto noticed that Sasuke had been frowning, as if he was thinking about something important.

So, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sasuke, what's wrong with you? Did something come to mind?"

However, Sasuke did not respond to Naruto, but instead walked to the life-size mirror placed to the side and stood there.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly opened his eyes, instantly activating his Sharingan.

Sasuke's Sharingan originally only had two tomoe, but now, three tomoe have clearly appeared in the eyes reflected in the mirror!

Sasuke was taken aback at first, but then he couldn't contain his joy and burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha... This is great, great! I finally have the three-tomoe Sharingan!"

Hearing Sasuke's excited laughter, Naruto hurriedly ran over to Sasuke's side and looked into the mirror.

Sure enough, in Sasuke's Sharingan, three tomoe were neatly arranged in his eyes, flashing with a scarlet light.

"Wow, it really is!" Naruto exclaimed in surprise, a genuine smile spreading across his face.

You should know that he had just witnessed the shocking scene of Chiyo's Susanoo wreaking havoc.

Seeing Sasuke successfully evolve his Sharingan into a three-tomoe Sharingan, he was naturally happy for his friend.

"Once I acquire the Mangekyou Sharingan, I'll be able to unleash the Susanoo. At that time, I'll definitely show you how powerful it is!"

Sasuke's eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he could already see the moment he would become a powerful figure.

He happily described the wonderful future to Naruto.

Although all of this is just a pie in the sky he's dangling for Naruto.
