Chapter 561: The Past of Konoha Village
The dragnet search lasted for two days, but no valuable information was found.
"There is no trace of the Yondaime and his men left behind. It's difficult to find them using existing means. Do you have any ideas?" Shikamaru thought hard but could not think of a solution.
I can only ask Ino.
Ino is also very conflicted now. Many things in her memories have changed, so she can't deal with the problem in the same way as in the original time and space.
She pointed to the Loulan ruins around her and said, "Let's make an assumption. Suppose the Fourth Hokage and his men came to this ruins first and then Baizu. The Fourth Hokage must have known that he had sealed a huge amount of dragon chakra here. Baizu came here, so he obviously knew about it, right?"
Shikamaru nodded, "Right. Centipede must have discovered this huge energy source in some records of Sunagakure, but...what can he do with this energy?"
Ino raised a finger: "No matter what he wants to do, with the personalities of the Fourth Hokage and Naruto, or rather Naruto's personality, they will definitely jump out to stop him. The Fourth Hokage is very wise, but facing a hot-blooded and stupid son, he will choose to jump in even though he knows there is a fire pit ahead."
Shikamaru agreed with this speculation, as this was indeed the character of Naruto and the Fourth Hokage.
Following Ino's speculation, he continued: "Then they fought, the seal of the dragon vein was broken, and they had..."
Shikamaru thought the four of them were doomed.
Watching Ino's expression carefully: "Do you think they're still alive?"
Ino took out a piece of paper, folded it in half, and then punched a hole in the middle: "When the energy is large enough, some channels that penetrate the plane will be created. I can mark point A and point B on this paper, but the dragon vein has no consciousness at all. It cannot lock onto point B. It will only mechanically look for people who have truly "contacted" it. So far, there is only one person who has left a mark on it, and that is Minato Namikaze who sealed the dragon vein twenty years ago."
Shikamaru was shocked, and it took him a long time to sort out the logical relationship: "Do you think they traveled through time during the Big Bang? To twenty years ago?"
Ino didn't say anything definitive: "It's possible."
She continued, "I have a treasure that can travel through time. I plan to go find them. Theoretically, I will bring them back one second after I activate the treasure. But if I don't come back within a day, you will stabilize the army. If I don't come back within three days, you will need to summon my 'good friends' to save me. The price is extremely high and may consume your entire lifespan."
She spoke very bluntly, and finally gave the Death Beads to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru smiled bitterly and pushed the rosary back: "Are you kidding? I haven't lived enough. It will only take a second for me to go with you. It will be quick."
"I'm going too!" Shikamaru walked in with great determination.
"It seems interesting, count me in." Sasuke followed closely behind.
The three passionate young men were determined. Ino tried to persuade them for a long time but found that it was totally unacceptable. She had no choice but to agree.
She handed the Death Beads to Sakura and gave her several instructions on what to do next, which frightened Sakura.
"Do I have to die?" Sakura was a little scared.
Ino said nothing, just stared at her.
Sakura said with a bitter face: "I know, I know, I am also a ninja, I do have some awareness"
Ino seemed to be completely unaware of the heavy pressure in her heart, and continued to talk about her own "experiences": "In fact, death is just like that. If you die and reach the Nether Road, you follow the ghost tide and go forward about 1,500 meters. You will see a headless ghost looking for his head. I kicked his head into a mountain in the southwest. If you help it find its head, it will help you get a good position in the team."
Sakura let out a hysterical scream and ran away like a madman.
"I'm not finished yet, there are still two hidden missions that I haven't told you!" Ino shouted twice, and Sakura ran faster.
Teasing Sakura is one of the few pleasures she has nowadays, and it has a good effect in relieving stress. Ino entrusted the army to Yamanaka Feng, who, as Danzo's right-hand man, does have some command ability.
He then motioned for Shikamaru, Choji, and Sasuke to stand beside him and activated his Noble Phantasm, the Plow.
"I am a descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, and I am the Noble Phantasm, Plow. Please allow me to introduce the precautions when using it." The Noble Phantasm Plow was often very mechanical, and he repeated the precautions in a long-winded manner.
Shikamaru and Choji remained unmoved, looking straight ahead as if they hadn't heard anything.
Sasuke was full of curiosity. Descendants of the Otsutsuki clan? Who were they talking about? Before he could think about it, a halo of energy surrounded the four people. Colorful strips of energy turned into a passage, enveloping them and heading back to twenty years ago.
Ino walked out of the light gate with a few people, looking at the familiar streets and the Hokage Rock on the top of the mountain in the distance. Shikamaru, Choji and Sasuke were a little surprised. Have we traveled through time? Have we traveled to the Konoha Village 20 years ago?
Ino was shocked. She activated her Noble Phantasm Plow at the Loulan Ruins. Logically, she should have appeared in Loulan twenty years ago, instead of traveling to Konoha Village.
She specifically traveled to the Loulan ruins just because she didn't want to cause too many changes to the timeline.
"Li, what's going on? Why did it land in Konoha Village?" she asked hurriedly.
The head of the treasure plow popped out of the tortoise shell and looked around: "The timing is correct, but the landing point is wrong. What's the reason?"
Ino rolled her eyes, "Are you asking me?"
The treasure plow argued: "I am just a tool, how would I know."
"Okay, okay, go to sleep now. I'll call you when we get back."
"Should we go directly to Loulan, or should we gather some information in Konoha?" Shikamaru asked.
Ino thought about it and realized that since the Noble Phantasm Plow did not descend directly on Loulan, there must have been a problem there.
It would be too reckless to rush over rashly.
She said, "Let's go investigate the village and gather some information."
At this time, Konoha was still under the rule of the Third Hokage. There was no Sensing Class, but there were several Sensing Barriers.
To Ino, a veteran driver, this barrier is the same as non-existent.
But there are still some things that need to be said. She said pointedly: "Let's split up and reunite here in an hour. Remember the most important point, don't contact acquaintances at this time, especially your relatives, such as young parents, one-year-old brother, etc., don't see any of them."
Sasuke pursed his lips, and nodded slightly in the fifth second of her gaze.
