Chapter 1: Going Back to the Past, Deleting Time
Konoha Year 79 (Boruto era).
Konoha Village, Archaeological Research Institute.
Two figures rushed over at lightning speed.
All the guards at the entrance of the research institute have been killed in action.
Inside the research institute, a pale figure stood in front of an artifact, his palm emitting a green light.
The artifact has been transformed into a tortoise.
This is the treasure of the Otsutsuki clan—the Plow.
Urashiki Otsutsuki is preparing to travel back in time to capture Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who has not yet grown up.
The two who arrived were none other than Sasuke Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki.
Seeing the phoenix radiating light, the two rushed inside without saying a word.
However, the two did not notice that there was another person who followed them inside.
-
thump.
Bai Mo, carrying a large shoulder bag, landed on the ground.
A drop of rain fell on his head.
"You're back? No, oh, right."
Bai Mo looked around and confirmed that he had not returned to "Amegakure", but to "Amegakure of the past".
Bai Mo is a time traveler, but he traveled to Amegakure during the Boruto era.
At that time, the entire Land of Rain was dilapidated, with broken walls and ruins, full of garbage and poisonous gas. It could be said to be a large-scale garbage disposal plant of the five great nations.
The dilapidated Amegakure and the prosperous Konoha stood in stark contrast.
Unfortunately, none of the villagers of Amegakure at the time knew that the current Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, had promised the leader of Amegakure that he would lead the village to prosperity.
Nagato, the leader of Amegakure, chose to believe, paying the ultimate price to revive the people of Konoha, ending the chains of hatred, and entrusting Amegakure to him.
The result is this.
Due to his unique circumstances and the fact that he informed the villagers of the Seventh Hokage's promise, Bai Mo became the hope of the refugees in Amegakure.
The refugees handed over all the remaining supplies in the village to Bai Mo, raising enough funds for him to travel to the Land of Fire.
Bai Mo kept a low profile after arriving in Konoha until this day.
He encountered a blond-haired young man who asked him if he knew where to buy "Intimate Paradise," and he knew that the time-travel plot was about to begin.
And that's how the scene just now happened.
Having made ample preparations, Bai Mo returned to the ninja world of the past.
The moment Bai Mo stepped into the plow, a special power within him was activated upon touching the space-time ninjutsu of the Otsutsuki clan.
In that instant, time was erased!
In a world where time has been erased, even Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't be able to detect that someone else had followed him into the time tunnel.
Furthermore, due to the deletion of time, the landing point of the time tunnel seems to have deviated somewhat.
But none of that matters anymore.
After defeating Urashiki Otsutsuki, Sasuke Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki will use genjutsu to erase the memories of those involved, believing they haven't changed the past, and then return directly to the future.
They wouldn't even notice Bai Mo's presence.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a spy."
Bai Mo suddenly spoke.
At the same time, a large hand was reaching for him from behind.
After hearing Bai Mo's words, he stopped there.
"So who are you?"
A cold, questioning voice came from behind Bai Mo.
Bai Mo knew that once he arrived at Amegakure, he would inevitably be discovered by Pain's Rain Tiger Free Technique.
Therefore, he activated the ability he had awakened through his contact with the space-time ninjutsu—time erasure. Because the ability had a strong sense of déjà vu, Bai Mo named this ability Crimson King.
Bai Mo used the derivative ability of time deletion to see what would happen in the next few tens of seconds.
He foresaw in advance that the Hungry Ghost Realm would appear behind him.
"I am the leader of Amegakure from the future, and I request to see the current leader of Amegakure, 'Pain,' or rather—Nagato."
Bai Mo spoke frankly and stood up, looking up at the tallest building in Amegakure.
That place is where Nagato's true form longed for when he was in Amegakure.
Upon hearing Bai Mo's reply, Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the top floor of the command tower, opened his eyes.
"Are the infiltrators troublesome?"
Konan, standing next to Nagato, asked calmly and composedly.
Bai Mo was perceived because he appeared "suddenly" inside Amegakure.
For Nagato, who sensed the presence using the Rain Tiger Free Technique, it was no different from Jiraiya's method of infiltrating using frogs in the original story.
Knowing that the other party was a "master", they dispatched the Six Paths of Pain to test and capture them.
"He said he was the future leader of Amegakure and wanted to see me... He even called me by name."
Nagato's face was grave.
"Could it be another one like 'Spotted'? I'll go test him."
Xiao Nan was wary of this. She left the room and went to the edge of the tower. A pair of white wings made of paper sprouted from her back, and she flew down.
As soon as Xiao Nan saw Bai Mo, she felt that this person was very strange.
Bai Mo below was standing in the rain, raising his right hand, seemingly doing something.
Payne's realm of hungry ghosts is in another place.
This indicates that Bai Mo suddenly changed his position.
Why?
Xiao Nan descended while still harboring doubts.
After descending to a certain height, Xiao Nan's face suddenly darkened, and she stopped in mid-air. Then she drifted a short distance to the right before leisurely landing in front of Bai Mo's right.
Indeed, after descending a certain distance, Xiao Nan suddenly realized that, from her angle, she would likely land directly on Bai Mo's hand.
Outrageous.
The opponent is indeed a master; they were able to predict things to such an extent.
Similarly, the other party does indeed have some mental issues.
Xiao Nan made her own judgment.
After leading Bai Mo to an open area on the lower level of the command tower, Xiao Nan was about to speak when she saw Bai Mo take out a storage scroll from his waist and pull out a bunch of things from it.
Most of them were photographs, along with some worn-out papers covered in writing.
"These are photos of Amegakure in the future, and also what the future villagers of Amegakure want to say to you."
Bai Mo explained the origin of these items.
He had already made plans when he decided to go to Konoha, so he naturally had preparations in advance.
Xiao Nan stepped forward, squatted down, and picked up the photo to look at it.
The shocking photos made Xiao Nan's pupils contract.
The buildings in these photos are exactly what Amegakure looks like now, dilapidated and damaged.
Familiar streets, familiar pipes, familiar buildings...
After seeing the photos, Xiao Nan remained skeptical, and even wondered if Bai Mo had fabricated the lie to stop their plan.
But when Xiao Nan picked up those tattered letters and read their contents, she completely gave up on the idea.
"Where did these letters come from?"
Xiao Nan put down the letter and looked up at Bai Mo.
"My return from the future to the present was planned, so I naturally made some preparations to prove myself in advance."
I explained the ritual to the villagers of Amegakure, saying that if they wanted to communicate with the deceased, they could simply burn the written letter.
So they wrote down all the things they truly wanted to tell you and gave them to me, asking me to burn them during the sacrificial ceremony.
Bai Mo calmly finished answering.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Nan told Bai Mo to pack his things, and then led Bai Mo to the top floor.
Nagato was somewhat surprised to see that Konan had brought the intruders here, but he believed that Konan must have her reasons.
Konan, holding a letter, stepped forward and handed it to Nagato.
Nagato's pupils contracted upon seeing this.
