Minato Namikaze: "It matches up, it all matches up! I told you I wasn't close with Sara. It turns out it was our son who was close to her."
Terumi Mei: "First the Queen of the Land of Snow, and now the Queen of Rōran. Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha certainly has a knack for attracting romantic entanglements."
Uzumaki Naruto: "??? Big sister, there didn't seem to be any romance in the Land of Snow or Rōran."
Second Herrscher - Kazahana Koyuki: "..."
Sara: "..."
At this moment, looking at the dense Naruto, both of them felt an intense sense of embarrassment.
For Kazahana Koyuki, it was slightly better; after all, those were events of the future. While embarrassing, they hadn't happened yet, so she could simply categorize it as the difference between a movie and reality.
But for Sara, it was different. Others were seeing Kazahana Koyuki's future, but when they looked at her, they were seeing things that had actually happened in her past!
This was like having one's dark history dug up and broadcast in public; it made her so ashamed she wanted to die.
Even though Sara was already dead.
Especially since her daughter kept asking questions about it.
If she weren't already dead, she really wouldn't know how to face her own daughter.
Ah, right—and her husband.
As for that, what else could Sara's husband do?
Forgive her, of course.
Even though Uzumaki Naruto was Sara's hero, nothing else had happened between them, and even their memories had been Sealed. He didn't blame her, he didn't...
["That Uzumaki Naruto left quite smoothly, but he never seemed to mention me from start to finish. Could it be that the timeline he comes from isn't the one I'm in, but a brand new one?"
Watching Uzumaki Naruto depart, the Golden Eagle fell into thought.
Logically, Uchiha Hoshi had completely destroyed Konoha, and Naruto had witnessed it with his own eyes. Having come to the past, he couldn't possibly remain indifferent.
Unless... he didn't recognize Uchiha Hoshi!
"Interesting. The Honkai Energy in this world is still very thin. If nothing unexpected happens, it would take at least several decades for a Herrscher to be born."
"Wait! Decades!?"
"In other words, it takes at least twenty years of development for the first Herrscher to potentially emerge. But when was the time of my birth?"
Uchiha Hoshi suddenly realized something was wrong. "It seems I've overlooked something..."
She couldn't figure it out, so she intended to visit the Konoha of this timeline.
She was intimately familiar with Konoha's location. Thus, with just a thought, she opened a Space Wormhole leading to the skies above Konoha.
When she arrived above Konoha, she saw the village that had not yet become a ruin!
Although Konoha showed signs of decline at this time, the Sannin had not yet departed, and the Uchiha had not yet been exterminated.
To other Ninja Villages, it was still a titan!
But...
"Not... here?"
Uchiha Hoshi searched all of Konoha but found no trace of herself.
Whether in the Uchiha, Konoha, or even the dark depths of Root, she searched meticulously. She even found her parents of this era, but she alone was missing.
"By logic, I'm only two years younger than Uchiha Itachi. I should have been picked up by Mom and Dad by now?"
"But why am I not here?"
"Could it be because Mom and Dad didn't know how to look after a child and I died in infancy?"
"It's a possibility!"
Vaguely, Uchiha Hoshi realized she might be special, but she couldn't be certain.
"If... I must go to other timeline zones to search, and if I still can't find anything..."
Uchiha Hoshi began to use the Authority of Imaginary. However, this body was merely a Clone, and the Authority of Imaginary she possessed was incomplete. She couldn't explore the Imaginary or other Parallel Spacetimes as freely as the Second Herrscher.
But if she could find an insertion point, finding a Parallel Spacetime would be easy!
Thus, disregarding whether she might clash with the Herrscher of Wind, Uchiha Hoshi personally went to the Rōran Ruins in the Land of Wind.
The moment she appeared, she plunged headfirst into the Ryumyaku deep within the Desert.
"Mm~ the energy here is indeed peculiar; it's actually linked to different spacetimes."
"Just right. I can use it to achieve my goal!"
Entering the Ryumyaku and coming into contact with this power, Uchiha Hoshi mastered it instantly. Its entire composition became clear to her heart in the next breath!
This was the power of the First Generation Herrscher of Reason.
Upon seeing an object, there was no need for understanding; simply seeing it allowed her to replicate it and leave a Blueprint within her Core. The moment the Blueprint appeared, its structure was understood, and she could modify it.
"But now isn't the time to modify the Ryumyaku..."
As Uchiha Hoshi's figure vanished into the Ryumyaku, Temari finally arrived.
"What just happened? I felt a massive Honkai Energy reaction, just like a Herrscher. Did a Herrscher come here?"
"Who was it?"
Looking at the ruins of Rōran, Temari began to ponder the true identity of the Herrscher who had appeared here...]
Orochimaru: "Subarashii~ Is this the true Authority of the Herrscher of Reason? To see is to master, and to modify at will according to one's heart. If one continues to learn like this, isn't this simply omniscience?"
Senju Tobirama: "Omniscience is omnipotence."
Senju Tobirama: "No wonder you are so fixated on the Byakugan. With the power of the Byakugan, you can cast your gaze into every corner of the Ninja World. I fear all our research has simply become your dowry, hasn't it? @Herrscher of Reason!"
First Herrscher - Uchiha Hoshi: "Who knows?"
Ordinary people had already begun to tremble.
With their level of education, they didn't understand what those Ninja lords were talking about, but they did see Senju Hashirama's phrase: "Omniscience and omnipotence."
Didn't that mean Uchiha Hoshi was an omniscient and omnipotent being?
Wasn't that a god?
And she wasn't a statue enshrined in a temple, but a truly living, breathing god!
Faced with such a being, what should ordinary people do?
Pray, of course!
Consequently, the ignorant masses who were already worshipping Uchiha Hoshi grew in number, and their prayers became incredibly devout.
Uchiha Hoshi: "???"
What's going on? Why does it feel like faith in my omniscience and omnipotence has suddenly spiked?
And it's still flowing in?
Curiously, she used her Tenseigan to look at the Ninja World and discovered that many people were kneeling toward her divine statues.
Truly, some of those statues were carved vividly, bearing a striking resemblance.
Most of them depicted Uchiha Hoshi in her Herrscher Armor from when she first became a Herrscher.
Other parts were a bit abstract, but the names written below allowed her to confirm that those people were indeed worshipping her.
