"That damn Akasuna no Sasori!"

Baki roared.

No one understood better than he did what kind of power Sasori currently wielded. He held in his hands not just one Kazekage puppet, but two!

If he had the audacity to show his face so brazenly in Sunagakure, he had undoubtedly already modified Rasa.

If he were late…

The Ryūmyaku would be gone, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki would be gone—Thinking of these consequences, Baki felt a phantom pain.

He let out an enraged roar: "All Suna Shinobi, return to the village immediately to defend the prison!"

"Kazekage-sama—What about the intruders and the Konoha Shinobi?"

"We don't have time for them!"

Baki was filled with hatred. Naturally, he hoped to eliminate both Akatsuki and the Konoha ninja in one fell swoop, but weighing the current situation, he could only rush back to the village at top speed to stop that bastard, Akasuna no Sasori.

As for the two Akatsuki members who had appeared at the scene…

"Sooner or later, I'll kill them all!"

"Retreat immediately!"

...

Purple light swept across the land.

Gojo Kaigetsu, caught in the strange energy, didn't feel any discomfort, only a sense of being out of sync.

It was like when you're anesthetized and waking up, taking a few seconds to adjust. A simple movement like shaking your head feels like you're throwing your whole body.

Gojo Kaigetsu didn't hesitate. He raised his hand and channeled the power of the Six Eyes, attempting to devour the Ryūmyaku's chakra, absorbing it into himself.

The Ryūmyaku's chakra seemed to sense the danger and grew increasingly agitated, trying to break free from the Six Eyes' restraint. But such struggles were ultimately futile against the perfected Six Eyes. The Ryūmyaku's power was slowly but surely being devoured, merging into the Six Eyes.

This also gave Gojo Kaigetsu's Six Eyes, originally a pure blue-white, a touch of an eerie purple.

The Ryūmyaku dragged the power of time and space, heading towards a more distant place…

Time seemed eternal, yet also like a fleeting second.

The next moment, before Gojo Kaigetsu could even experience the new characteristics of his Six Eyes, the surrounding purple light had vanished.

Gojo Kaigetsu landed steadily, and he began to take in his surroundings.

He found himself still at the original site of the Ryūmyaku seal, only everything around him had disappeared. "I see—different timelines of the same location."

"Since Hiruzen and Konan aren't with me, does that mean they arrived in this timeline before me? Or after?"

"Oh well, it doesn't matter. Once I kill that guy, we'll be sent back to the original timeline."

Gojo Kaigetsu slowly walked out of the ruins of the Ryūmyaku, shielding his eyes from the blinding sun with his hand. He looked at the towering "modern Rōran" in the distance, and couldn't help but marvel.

Unsurprisingly, this timeline had also been distorted. Instead of a desert, Rōran had become a modern city, and the surrounding desert had been replaced by a forest as dense as Konoha's.

But—that was the extent of it.

Hiruzen was, after all, just a Shinobi from a poor, backwater village like Suna. Even with unlimited time, this was the best he could do.

When Konoha unified the Shinobi world, in no more than three years, Gojo Kaigetsu was confident he could build a cyberpunk Konoha!

But now…

Whoosh—

Gojo Kaigetsu didn't hesitate, immediately running in the opposite direction of Rōran. His goal—was Amegakure, or Konoha!

In short, he needed to figure out the current era before deciding whether to go to Amegakure or Konoha.

Time travel, what a wonderful thing!

Gojo Kaigetsu's brain was working overtime, like the myriad worlds, like the vast ocean, having read countless entertainment works. "'Reborn,' 'Returning to the Past,' these themes are so popular for a reason, almost ushering in a new chapter in the history of literature…"

The reason was…

"To make up for regrets!"

"If, for instance, Uchiha Madara, in his final battle, was reborn, the first thing he would probably do is kill Black Zetsu…"

"If Obito were reborn at the battle of Kannabi Bridge, even if it meant defying orders, being stripped of his Shinobi status by the Hokage Tower, he would take Rin and refuse to carry out the Kannabi Bridge mission…"

"Of course, now I have physically traveled back to the past of the Shinobi world, so I'm even greedier."

"Firstly, I want to pluck out Obito's left and right eyes; secondly, I want to pluck out the eyes of the weak Nagato or the elderly Madara."

These nonsensical things were temporarily put aside. Gojo Kaigetsu just wanted to collect these eyes that existed in this divergent timeline, to see if he could bring them back to the original timeline.

If he could…

Tomorrow, Konoha could issue a public notice declaring the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, with the target being the other four villages. No more scheming!

Either submit or die. One night to unify the ninja world!

So, could he do it?

"Let's give it a try!"

Gojo Kaigetsu didn't hold back his chakra, fully activating his Six Eyes, constantly scanning his surroundings. He increased his speed, practically leaving afterimages on the ground.

He was practically flying!

But soon, Gojo Kaigetsu's plan to plunder all the eyes was officially aborted.

Boom—

His body seemed to hit an invisible wall of air. Although he wasn't injured, the recoil sent him flying backward.

The view ahead was clear, and the ground beneath his feet extended straight ahead, but for some inexplicable reason, the path forward was gone.

Gojo Kaigetsu rubbed the dust off his clothes, leaned back, and channeled his Six Eyes to their limit, activating "Cursed Technique Reversal: Red" in an attempt to blast through the air wall.

But the result was the same. He was sent flying again.

Gojo Kaigetsu, not one to give up, casually tossed a few jutsu, but they were swallowed up like stones thrown into the ocean.

Alright, you win. But this is still part of the test.

"Damn it! You're telling me this is how this alternate timeline is designed?"

"An air wall is one thing, but can't you use something to make it less obvious? This is just lazy!"

"I suggest using the most typical high and low platforms to block the way. Areas beyond the explorable zone should be blocked by platforms at least half a person's height. That way, I would instinctively understand that areas beyond the platform are not explorable—Or use broken logs or stacked items as borders. Most of the time, I can find the correct path—The downside is that it feels artificial, but better that than this jarring air wall!"

...

Gojo Kaigetsu grumbled, complaining about the design of this alternate timeline. He scratched his head and finally turned around, defeated.

It seemed that the power of time and space wouldn't allow "eye plundering" to happen?

He could only follow the boring and tasteless main storyline, then be transported back to the original timeline?

"If you won't let me through this air wall—then I don't mind destroying this world myself!"

Whoosh—

The bright sunlight seemed to dim.

Just then, as Gojo Kaigetsu was speeding along, he suddenly saw countless pieces of paper falling from the sky, blocking his path and slowly gathering into a graceful human form.

Gojo Kaigetsu stopped, a smirk playing on his lips. "So soon? It seems the Ryūmyaku's power didn't distort time that much~"

The paper gradually took shape, taking on the colors of black, red, and blue, as if being given a soul, becoming lifelike.

Konan emerged.
