Surprise flashed through Naruto's eyes as he immediately received this piece of information from the future Uzumaki Boruto.
After digesting the information, Naruto narrowed his eyes and looked at Otsutsuki Isshiki, a faint smile gradually appearing on his lips. The information recorded a method for quickly reading Otsutsuki memories, as well as memories related to Otsutsuki Isshiki and artificial humans.
Naruto was no stranger to Otsutsuki Isshiki.
He was the fourth starry-sky Otsutsuki to appear during the Boruto era, after Naruto defeated Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki. Unlike those previous reckless and unlucky fools, Otsutsuki Isshiki had lurked within the ninja world for a thousand years, and his strength far surpassed Urashiki and the others.
The reason the Otsutsuki did not help one another was also very simple.
If they wanted to plant a Divine Tree and absorb a planet's chakra, they had to feed an Otsutsuki to the Ten-Tails so the Ten-Tails could evolve into the Divine Tree. In a sense, these Otsutsuki who traveled across the stars were competitors.
The more important information was the record regarding Otsutsuki Shibai.
Otsutsuki Shibai was one of the strongest members of the Otsutsuki clan. He had devoured countless chakra fruits, yet the corpse of such a god-like being had appeared within the ninja world.
It was by using Otsutsuki Shibai's corpse that Otsutsuki Isshiki managed to cultivate artificial humans comparable to Otsutsuki.
In that case, Urashiki's reason for sneaking around everywhere became very simple. He was searching for Otsutsuki Shibai's body within the ninja world, and finding the corpse of the Otsutsuki God was far more important than punishing the traitor Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Withdrawing his gradually diverging thoughts, Naruto extracted Urashiki's chakra once again and used a technique to read the memories stored within it.
According to the information from Boruto's future memories, Otsutsuki and ninjas were fundamentally different. While they could reincarnate through chakra, this also revealed a major weakness: Otsutsuki chakra itself stored corresponding information.
As long as he could simulate Otsutsuki Urashiki's chakra, he could easily break through Urashiki's defenses.
Ten minutes later, Naruto broke through Urashiki's defenses, causing Urashiki to stare at him in terror while protecting his extremely valuable blue Rinnegan.
As if sensing Naruto's killing intent, Urashiki attempted one final resistance, but all resistance was meaningless.
Naruto directly tore out Urashiki's Rinnegan, and the moment the eye was removed, Urashiki's body collapsed inch by inch, as though struck by the Ash Killing Bones, turning into ashes.
Naruto frowned at the scene and began thinking about the reason behind Urashiki's death.
Whether Urashiki died because the Rinnegan was removed or because of the backlash of time and space, in the end, he had not obtained much truly valuable information from Urashiki.
Sensing the chakra fluctuations, Sasuke, who had been resting nearby, rushed over.
After seeing the empty sealing circle, Sasuke frowned and asked, "Naruto, did Otsutsuki Urashiki escape?"
Naruto shook his head lightly and said, "Not exactly. Urashiki probably suffered backlash from time and space and was erased completely, leaving only these two Rinnegan behind. But your condition seems better now. Can you continue staying in this era?"
"I don't know. I probably can't last much longer, but Boruto seems capable of holding on for quite a while."
Naruto's expression turned serious again as he continued, "When Urashiki disappeared, I obtained a lot of useful information from him. It might help your world."
"First, a Kāma has already been planted on Boruto, and he will gradually transform into Momoshiki in the future."
"Second, aside from Urashiki, there is also an Otsutsuki named Isshiki in your world. He has been lurking within the ninja world for thousands of years. His goal is to take Boruto and feed him to the Ten-Tails in another dimension, reactivating the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Third, the organization Otsutsuki Isshiki belongs to has many subordinates as powerful as the Five Kage. The strongest among them has even surpassed both you and the Otsutsuki. You should be careful after returning to your own world."
After listening to Naruto's warning, Sasuke nodded with a heavy expression.
This information was incredibly useful, and he felt too embarrassed to ask about the Rinnegan in Naruto's hand.
Sasuke didn't mention it, and Naruto naturally wouldn't bring it up himself. Changing the subject, Naruto said, "By the way, while there's still time, let's study the plow, the Otsutsuki treasure tool. If we can figure out how it works, we might be able to travel freely between parallel worlds and help each other."
Sasuke nodded slightly. If they really could help one another, that would be ideal.
While talking, the two arrived at the room where the plow had been sealed. After the little turtle sensed Naruto and Sasuke's chakra, it opened its eyes and said:
"Otsutsuki Urashiki-sama has fallen. Is Sasuke-sama planning to return to his own timeline?"
Walking over to the little turtle, Naruto asked directly, "Plow, can I travel to his era using your ability?"
"Of course, but the risks are unknown," the little turtle replied mechanically.
Naruto paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know that the worlds he and I live in are actually parallel worlds? How many parallel worlds exist within the ninja world?"
"I do not know..." the little turtle added, "I am merely a tool that was designed. I know nothing else."
Seeing the little turtle dodge the question, Naruto and Sasuke both frowned before beginning to dismantle the little turtle to inspect its internal structure.
The little turtle's structure was extremely simple. Beneath the shell was a blue glowing core. It somewhat resembled dragon vein energy, but the quality was clearly much higher. Perhaps the little turtle itself was the dragon vein of another planet.
After reassembling the little turtle, Naruto formed hand seals and created a shadow clone.
He planned to have the shadow clone activate the little turtle and travel through time and space, but after only a few seconds, the shadow clone that entered the space-time vortex disappeared, transmitting back only an extremely brief scene.
In the image, the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya had joined forces to defeat the Nine-Tails, and together with the Third Hokage, they resealed the beast.
This scene caused Naruto to fall into deep thought. Thinking back to his previous journey through the dragon veins, the era the shadow clone had traveled to might actually have been the parallel world he had once visited...
After resting for a while to recover chakra, Naruto continued sending shadow clones through time and space.
This time, the image transmitted back was still related to the Fourth Hokage. The shadow clone dissipated from the backlash of time and space before it could even make contact with the surrounding ninjas.
After several attempts, Naruto confirmed a great deal of information.
What the little turtle connected to was not the past, but parallel worlds. Aside from the world he lived in and the future world where Sasuke came from, only three other worlds had been discovered so far, corresponding to the past, present, and future.
In addition, ninjas using the little turtle could reveal information, but they could not remain there for long periods of time.
The little turtle's shape resembled the Loulan dragon vein somewhat. It was more like a treasure crafted using the core of a dragon vein, and it was very likely left behind by Otsutsuki Shibai.
Otsutsuki Shibai is a character from Boruto. He'll probably appear in an extra chapter or something like that. There are only two chapters left in this book, so it's almost finished.
