The power of time is indeed wondrous, especially after Lin Nian truly perfected a part of her power over time.
Although we cannot travel through time or go back in time, we can instinctively control things like foreseeing the future, acting on impulse, and so on.
The reason he was so eager to return to Konoha was because of a sudden, unseen impulse.
Perhaps the foundation of the Ninja World planet was so solid that when a divine tree was planted there, its roots, after thousands of years of nurturing, connected with other parallel universes.
While true time travel is impossible, jumping between different points in time in various parallel universes is perfectly acceptable. Of course, whether time travel outside of dragon veins works the same way is beyond Lin Nian's knowledge, since what he has encountered so far is merely parallel universe travel.
As for whether there are truly any extraordinary individuals who can reverse the past from the future, or even confront the future from the past?
Lin Nian believed that such a powerful being should not emerge in this universe. Of course, if such a being did emerge, he should be able to choose his own posture before dying, so that he could at least lie down comfortably when he died.
By using the Dragon Vein and his own eye technique to truly travel to the past and plan for the future, he ultimately bought himself time. At least no matter what trouble he caused over the years, the masterminds behind the scenes in the ninja world basically turned a blind eye to it.
Even the Akatsuki organization, which was the most vocal in the early stages, didn't make any moves after it was confirmed that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame had died, let alone Black Zetsu, who was hiding behind the Akatsuki, and the Kara organization, which was even more deeply hidden.
However, ever since he acquired the cheat code he created in the past, he has had a feeling that his presence is becoming more and more obvious, which means that the villains who are affected by the collective brainless aura are about to make their appearance.
Clearly, the first to appear this time was a fisherman named Otsutsuki Urashiki.
To be honest, when he returned to Konoha and saw Boruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who looked颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of decadence, listlessness, and lack of motivation), had lost an arm, and exuded a unique aura, he was actually a little nervous.
But when he realized that the two guys were looking at him like he was a complete stranger, he instantly relaxed after a mind scan and a future prediction.
They truly don't recognize me; in their world, I am essentially a nobody.
This also explains why so-called time travel is actually more like spacetime travel. Whether it's Naruto's Dragon Vein journey or Boruto and Sasuke's Plow journey, they are actually traveling through parallel timelines and parallel universes, not true time travel.
As for himself?
He ended up going back more than ten years, and almost killed himself. If he hadn't had enough backup plans and had a system and a dragon vein to take the blame, he would have been gone.
No, it should be said that his future self was practically gone anyway.
Part of them became the spirit of the dragon vein, while the other part, through the mutual disturbance between their two future visions and that of Shion, caused a momentary return to their original body by triggering the tide of time, and then went to receive the dragon vein, thus perfectly avoiding the fate of dying in the dragon vein.
As for what he did, how many things he distorted, and how much disturbance he caused?
Do you really think that a walking source of interference like a transmigrator can't withstand the aftershocks of this thing? Lin Nian just can't withstand its direct burst.
"So, you came from the future, and your purpose in returning here is to stop an enemy named Otsutsuki Urashiki from stealing the Tailed Beasts and destroying the ninja world, right?"
Perhaps it was because of his skill and daring, but after Lin Nian escorted Yamanaka Ino home and found the two of them still wandering around Konoha, seemingly reminiscing or searching for something, Lin Nian immediately activated his domain and went over to them.
Perhaps it was the lingering chakra from the previous Ashura, Hashirama Senju, or the fact that he had spent too much time with the current Ashura, Naruto Uzumaki, that gave him a unique and innate attraction to Indra.
In any case, Sasuke didn't take any special precautions against this suddenly approaching Kage-level fighter. In fact, he only became wary after chatting for a while and realizing something was wrong.
Of course, by the time Sasuke Uchiha became alert, he and Boruto Uzumaki had already been brought to Tsunade, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.
After all, she is already the Fifth Hokage, the supreme ruler of Konoha, and the top combatant in name only. If she doesn't get out of trouble, why would anyone recognize her as Hokage?
Of course, this incredibly skilled level of betrayal of teammates only means that he lets the Hokage do the troublesome things while he reaps the benefits. After all, he doesn't consider himself a devil at all; on the contrary, he's an exceptionally good person.
Meanwhile, Lin Nian, who had already sneaked to the Hokage's office, heard Tsunade's questioning tone, as if to say, "Are you trying to fool me?"
However, perhaps because Boruto had spent a long time with Tsunade, and perhaps because of Tsunade's extremely irritable personality, Boruto's legs went weak the moment he saw her. If it weren't for his master's cold-faced grip on his collar, Boruto would have knelt down before Tsunade, who was now sitting in the Hokage's seat.
But perhaps it was Boruto's completely heartfelt actions and emotions, Sasuke Uchiha's genuine Mangekyou Sharingan and so-called Rinnegan, and the fact that he and Sasuke now share many similarities in appearance, or perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense, that led Tsunade to actually believe it, even though it sounded like nonsense that no one would believe.
Then, a summons was issued directly to all the top fighters inside and outside Konoha.
After all, the mastermind behind this enemy is Naruto Uzumaki's Nine-Tails, and what will happen to a Jinchuriki after losing their Tailed Beast? As Mito Uzumaki's granddaughter, Tsunade knows all this very well.
Although the incomplete memories of Naruto Uzumaki, a transmigrator, prevent Tsunade from seeing him as purely as he was in the original story, it depends on who you're comparing him to.
Uchiha Sasuke's strength is among the top tier of Kage-level combat power, and his clear hatred for Konoha can be sensed even from several streets away.
Even Tsunade suspected that if Sasuke Uchiha hadn't been bound to Konoha, he would have left long ago, or even turned against Konoha, and would never have become one of the pillars of Konoha as he is now.
Compared to Naruto Uzumaki, who is more tactful and easygoing, and compared to Sasuke Uchiha, who is more tolerant and warm-hearted, is Ryougi Senju.
Judging from the fact that the child now refers to himself as Lin Nian, it's clear that he hates those so-called constraints. Even his attitude towards Konoha is purely because he still cares about and cherishes his friends in Konoha, and that's why he protects Konoha. He's not a normal Senju clan member at all.
