Renya and Shimura Danzō returned to their original time through the Dragon Vein.
"You're back?"
The Queen of Rōran looked at the two who had returned in surprise. She hadn't expected that traveling through time and space via the Dragon Vein was really possible!
These past few days, she had been worried that the two would die in the temporal turbulence of the Dragon Vein.
If Konoha were to learn of this, Rōran would definitely have to be buried with them!
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. The two hadn't encountered any danger on this trip.
"Yeah, we're back." Renya changed the subject. "But we're leaving again right away."
For a moment, the Queen of Rōran didn't react. She thought Renya meant they were leaving Rōran to return to Konoha.
"Please, go ahead."
She stepped aside, preparing to let them leave.
Renya and Shimura Danzō stood where they were, with no intention of leaving.
"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood."
The Queen of Rōran: "???"
"You're not planning to have me open the Dragon Vein again, are you?"
She said it casually, but to her surprise Renya nodded.
"That's right. We'll have to trouble you again."
"Traveling through time and space is extremely dangerous. I hope you'll reconsider," the Queen of Rōran advised.
She didn't want the two to disappear into the shockwaves of the Dragon Vein because of her, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead.
To put it bluntly, she was worried that because of Renya and Danzō, the entire Rōran would be dragged down with them…
"We've thought it through. Don't worry."
At a glance, Renya could tell that the Queen of Rōran had never traveled through time and space. In reality, there was no danger at all.
If the Queen knew what he was thinking, she would definitely be furious.
What kind of sane person uses the power of the Dragon Vein to do something like this! One slip, and Rōran would be destroyed by the Dragon Vein's power!
As the queen, she naturally couldn't do such a thing.
If it weren't for the generous terms offered by the Hokage, she would never have agreed to their outrageous idea.
"Since you've thought it through, I can help you open the seal of the Dragon Vein."
Seeing that the two were determined to go, the Queen of Rōran didn't plan to persuade them any further.
With their strength, they probably wouldn't encounter any danger.
As she spoke, she once again opened the seal of the Dragon Vein—practice makes perfect.
Whether it was the two of them or the Queen of Rōran, everyone was very skilled.
Before long, the two set off on another journey through time and space.
When the Queen of Rōran saw the two disappear, she immediately sealed the Dragon Vein and then sat down on the ground in exhaustion.
"I hope they don't mess around again."
This scene was fully observed by a White Zetsu hidden in the shadows. Then it stopped monitoring and turned to leave Rōran.
This matter had to be reported to Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara!
...
In a secret chamber hidden deep underground in the ninja world.
"Black Zetsu, once your plan succeeds, you can resurrect me."
After giving all his instructions, Uchiha Madara planned to cancel the Edo Tensei himself.
This body was too weak to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Fortunately, he had laid out and plotted everything in advance. As long as Black Zetsu carried out his plan, he believed that one day he would return to the ninja world.
Not with an Edo body, but truly resurrected through Rinne Rebirth!
When that time came, no one in the ninja world would be able to stop him from realizing his ideal.
"I understand, Madara-sama."
Black Zetsu said respectfully on the surface, but inside it couldn't wait for Madara to leave.
This guy did nothing all day except issue orders to it.
Uchiha Madara nodded in satisfaction, formed hand seals, and prepared to cancel the Edo Tensei technique.
Just then, a White Zetsu rushed back to report.
"Madara-sama, Black Zetsu-sama, Uchiha Renya and Shimura Danzō used the Dragon Vein. It seems they've traveled to another time and space!"
White Zetsu didn't waste a single word and directly stated what it had discovered.
Uchiha Madara's hands forming seals paused, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"That kid used the Dragon Vein to travel through time and space?"
He had heard of the Dragon Vein before but had never taken it seriously. He hadn't expected it to have such a function!
...Traveling through time and space...
Black Zetsu was equally shocked, and a bit of panic rose in its heart.
If the cook traveled to another time and space and couldn't come back, then Mother wouldn't have a cook to use anymore!
Damn it, instead of staying in the village and basking in the sun, why did that guy have to go traveling through time and space when he had nothing better to do!
Looks like he's still too idle. In the future, once Mother is resurrected, he must be made to cook every day!
The premise is that the cook can return from the other time and space.
Otherwise, it would lose a top-tier cook it had spent a fortune to hire.
"Interesting. I didn't expect the Dragon Vein to have such a wonderful use," Uchiha Madara said with interest.
"Madara-sama, are you going in to take a look?" Black Zetsu asked curiously.
"No need. Let's resurrect me according to plan first."
Uchiha Madara shook his head and then resumed forming seals to cancel the Edo Tensei.
Although he really wanted to go see whether his other selves in other time and spaces had succeeded, now was not the time to go.
At the very least, he would wait until he was completely resurrected before considering it…
Black Zetsu watched Uchiha Madara disappear, and a calculating glint flashed in its eyes.
"Madara, aren't you also just a chess piece."
As it spoke, it turned to look at the White Zetsu who had come to report.
"Go back to Rōran and continue monitoring. Inform me the moment the cook comes out."
"Understood."
As White Zetsu left, only Black Zetsu remained in the secret chamber.
"Cook, I wonder which time and space you traveled to?"
No matter which time and space Renya traveled to, it only hoped that the cook could return safely.
Otherwise, when Mother is resurrected in the future, she won't be able to eat delicious food.
The skills of the other cooks in the ninja world don't compare to Renya's at all!
...
Renya, who had just traveled to another time and space, had no idea that someone was worrying about his safety.
"Danzō, why did we appear in a forest again?" Renya looked at the surroundings with a strange expression.
"By rights, we should have appeared at Rōran's location. Why did we end up in a forest both times?"
Looking at the environment around them, it was probably still the Land of Fire.
"Who knows." Facing his good friend's doubt, Danzō didn't know either, so he could only change the subject. "Let's look for a village first."
Renya nodded when he heard that. That was all they could do.
If they wanted to quickly understand the time and space they had traveled to, they just needed to find Konoha as a reference point.
Shimura Danzō took on the role of guide and walked at the front, while Renya silently followed behind.
Actually, Renya had just offered to lead the way, but Shimura Danzō had rejected him without mercy.
For something like guiding the way, it was better to leave it to him.
Arriving in an unfamiliar time and space, with no knowledge of the place, he didn't want Renya to cause trouble.
Faced with his good friend's tough attitude, Renya could only agree helplessly.
Fine, if you want to lead, then you lead.
Not long after the two were walking through the forest, they heard the sounds of battle coming from the distance.
Deafening shouts of killing, the clang of weapons colliding, and the thunderous roars of ninjutsu and exploding tags.
Renya and Shimura Danzō exchanged a glance and couldn't help but quicken their pace toward the direction the sounds were coming from.
