Minato Namikaze: "Is this... the ruins of Rōran?"
Senju Tobirama: "You know this place?"
Minato Namikaze: "Yes, I came here on a mission with my teammates once. There's a power here called the Ryumyaku. The Chakra reaction she sensed must be the Ryumyaku. But didn't I already put a Seal on the Ryumyaku?"
Sara: "Could the Seal on the Ryumyaku have been broken again?"
Senju Tobirama: "Wait, who are you?"
Minato Namikaze: "She is the Queen of Rōran. She helped us Seal the Ryumyaku back then."
Uzumaki Kushina: "The Queen of Rōran, huh~"
Minato Namikaze: "??? Yeah, is there a problem?"
Senju Hashirama: "Yeah, could her identity as the Queen be fake?"
Uzumaki Mito: "..."
Sara: "@Uzumaki Kushina, I actually have someone I like..."
Sēramu (a randomly made-up name): "Mother, could it be the hero of your dreams that you spoke of before you died?"
Sēramu's father: "???"
Sara: "Yes, he was a hero. A hero who saved Rōran, and saved me."
In the Pure Land, Sara felt incredibly melancholy.
She had many things she wanted to say, but the problem was she couldn't bring herself to say them.
She could only sigh in lament. I was born before you were born, and by the time you were born, I was already old.
["Let's go down and take a look."
Looking at these ruins, the Golden Eagle's curiosity was actually piqued.
The Golden Eagle ignored the Desert and the ruins' architecture, crashing into the Desert below like a missile, plunging headfirst into it!
Rumble~
The Golden Eagle could sense the surging energy deep underground. Like earth dragons, they were stretching their bodies, attempting to raise their heads from the depths of the earth that had suppressed them for a millennium.
But the Golden Eagle failed to brake in time, plunging headlong into this violent energy.
A blinding white light enveloped the Golden Eagle. It originally thought it would suffer a fierce energy impact, but unexpectedly, not only was it not attacked, but it was completely unharmed.
However...
At the same time, thousands of miles away, Uchiha Hoshi abruptly opened her eyes, looking towards the direction of the Land of Wind in disbelief.
"My connection with my Clone... is broken?"]
Sara: "!!!"
This is bad!
Sara suddenly realized that the Golden Eagle had likely traveled to a Rōran in another timeline using the power of the Ryumyaku!
Although she didn't know how she knew this, it was as if she suddenly understood that the Ryumyaku could travel through space and time.
But that wasn't important!
My people, my country!
Anrokuzan: "The power of the Ryumyaku? What a pity. If I could utilize it, it would surely provide a massive boost to my strength, wouldn't it?"
Sara: "..."
Minato Namikaze: "Don't even think about it. The Ryumyaku is very dangerous; you'll only end up burning yourself."
Anrokuzan: "Perhaps."
["Phew~" This change beyond her control caused Uchiha Hoshi to start getting a headache. "What's going on? In that instant just now, my connection with my Clone was actually completely severed. It wasn't until I used the Authority of Imaginary that I managed to reconnect..."
"So, did that Clone of mine end up in a special space?"
"I'm not sure, let me keep observing."
Uchiha Hoshi focused more of her mind on the Golden Eagle Clone, wanting to know exactly what it had encountered.
And when the Golden Eagle Clone opened its eyes, it found itself lying on the ground, surrounded entirely by unfamiliar architecture.
No, it couldn't be called unfamiliar. Just moments ago, it had seen it with its own eyes, only its appearance had undergone a drastic change.
"Although it's no longer recognizable, I can still tell that this place should be Rōran, a Rōran that hasn't yet turned into ruins..."
This speculation left her somewhat surprised.
Thus, it flew into the sky, looking down at this city with its vastly different design.
"Looking at the layout and architectural style, there are indeed traces of the ruined Rōran I saw earlier. Coupling that with the fact that this place could sever my connection with my Original Body... So, is this really Rōran, a Rōran from another timeline?"]
Shimura Danzo: "What? The Ryumyaku of Rōran actually has the ability to travel through space and time?"
Danzo was suddenly startled; he immediately realized just how powerful the existence of the Ryumyaku was.
As long as he utilized it properly, he could return to the Night of the Clan Extermination and eliminate that inherently evil Uchiha Hoshi ahead of time!
He could even kill her before she grew up, and then research her abilities. When that time came, he could even rule the entire Ninja World!
Orochimaru: "Hehe~ Have you, who have always been a coward hiding in your shell, finally become unable to sit still after seeing the power of the Ryumyaku?"
Orochimaru chuckled. Even if he thought with his knees, he knew exactly what this guy was plotting.
It wasn't just them. After hearing the words 'travel through space and time', anyone who wasn't stupid would know what this meant.
It meant endless resources, ample time to develop, and a sufficient reserve of talents.
This was enough to establish a massive organization that could surpass the Ninja World, reach out to more worlds, and even unite countless worlds!
There was no one who wouldn't be tempted by this!
Minato Namikaze: "Strange, I'm obviously the one who put a Seal on the Ryumyaku, so how did I not know that the Ryumyaku possessed this kind of power?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Regarding this matter, we have a lo~t~ of time to slowly thi~nk~ back on it."
Minato Namikaze: "..."
["Ah~"
Just as the Golden Eagle was overlooking the entirety of Rōran, taking in every single detail of the city into its sights, it noticed a woman being pushed off a building.
Of course, this woman wasn't important either. What mattered was the person who saved her in mid-air.]
Uzumaki Kushina: "Naruto?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Mom, aren't I right here? Why are you calling out to me on the Sky Screen?"
Uchiha Sasuke: "..."
Haruno Sakura: "This idiot."
Seeing the grown-up Naruto playing the hero saving the beauty on the Sky Screen, along with someone who appeared to be her mother Sara in her youth, Sēramu had a bad feeling.
Sēramu: "Mom, could the hero in your dreams be..."
Sara: "..."
She didn't say anything, but it also seemed like she had said everything.
Likewise falling into silence was Sara's husband.
An existence like a background prop, who not only lacked a name, but hadn't even made an appearance.
Afterwards, everyone followed the Golden Eagle's field of vision and watched the entirety of the adventure of Minato Namikaze's son, Uzumaki Naruto, in Rōran.
They even saw Minato Namikaze from his early years, as well as a young Kakashi, along with Minato Namikaze's teammates.
What hit the nail on the head was that Anrokuzan really had found the Ryumyaku. Furthermore, it seemed he had also traveled through space and time under the power of the Ryumyaku, arriving in Rōran, and used Rōran's power to create his very own army of Puppets, causing quite a bit of trouble for Minato Namikaze's group.
However, under the combined efforts of Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Naruto, he was still defeated.
Following that, in order to avoid causing harm to the timeline, Minato Namikaze used a Seal to lock away portions of everyone's memories regarding Rōran, as well as all of Uzumaki Naruto's memories.
