Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 457: Following Shisui

The sudden appearance of the "Edo Tensei Five Kage Team" not only terrified the Ōtsutsuki from the moon but also made Ōnoki break out in a cold sweat.

'That...? The Edo Tensei Five Kage?'

'When did Konoha learn the cunning Edo Tensei technique of Senju Tobirama?'

'What's the point of fighting this?'

Ōnoki now felt both fear and relief—relief that he hadn't antagonized Konoha earlier, or else this Edo Tensei Five Kage team would have surely surrounded Iwagakure!

Even ignoring the Jinchūriki and Bijū, just this Edo Tensei Five Kage team, combined with Konoha and Minato himself, would be enough to destroy the other four great villages.

'Luckily, they didn't summon my teacher with Edo Tensei... Wait, who's using Edo Tensei?'

'Orochimaru?'

'Huh? Why are there two Orochimarus? Clones?'

'Or...'

Ōnoki's brain was overheating, struggling to keep up.

Although logic suggested it might be Konoha's shadow clones, his instincts made him deeply suspicious.

However, at this moment, Parallel World 3 Orochimaru and Parallel World 4 Orochimaru had no time to care about others' opinions.

The two of them were staring at the invaders from the moon with gleaming eyes, full of greed.

"They really have Byakugan!"

"Incredible!!!"

Seeing the enthusiastic Ōtsutsuki warriors from the moon, the two Orochimarus grew even more excited and passionate.

They loved it when delicious meals came to them on their own!

Especially since these were all enemies, so there was no need to hold back.

"Our intel was wrong!"

"Retreat quickly!"

"Run!"

The leader of the Ōtsutsuki moon troops quickly decided to retreat. Facing Konoha's "otherworldly" formation, they stood no chance of winning!

Or rather, escaping safely would already be a stroke of luck.

Unfortunately, they wanted to run, but Konoha wasn't about to let them leave so easily.

"Since you've come, don't be in such a hurry to leave! We'll treat you well!"

Parallel World 3 Orochimaru laughed sinisterly, immediately ordering all the Edo Tensei ninjas to attack.

It wasn't for nothing that he had summoned so many "golden fighters from another world." Today, not a single precious Ōtsutsuki material from the moon that attacked Konoha Village would escape!

He wanted all of them!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

While Parallel World 3 Orochimaru and Parallel World 4 Orochimaru enjoyed the "fun of chasing chickens," on the other side.

On the moon, Aoto and Minato, who were facing off, naturally had no idea about the actual situation of the battle.

The former was extremely confident in the elite troops he had sent!

The latter was also extremely confident in the forces left behind in Konoha!

Even ignoring everything else, with the two Orochimarus working together and well-prepared, Minato himself wasn't sure he could win.

How could the Ōtsutsuki from the moon possibly be stronger than the entire Edo Tensei army?

Therefore, compared to the threat to the village, the stalemate here was what really gave Minato a headache.

It wasn't because he feared the power of the Tensaigan; no matter how strong the Tensaigan was, it still wouldn't be easy to hit Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique.

What was more important was Kakashi's life.

Although it was known that the Rinnegan could revive the dead, it hadn't been truly tested yet. Jiraiya hadn't been revived, and the Rinnegan was still in Zetsu's hands.

Without certainty, Minato naturally didn't want to risk killing Kakashi.

Even with the slightest chance, Minato still wanted to save his student!

But the cunning Aoto knew this, so he kept exploiting Kakashi, giving Minato no opportunity to act.

To save Kakashi, an opportunity was still needed, and that opportunity soon came...

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Two hours earlier.

Shisui, who had escaped alone, carefully sneaked out of the prison.

In reality, the core of this metal sphere wasn't a prison but a forbidden area for storing and using the Tensaigan.

Because of this, there were no guards or prison staff.

Only Aoto himself could enter here, unless he brought other clan members.

So Shisui could escape easily.

However, once outside, Shisui was immediately shocked by the sight.

All around was a vast yellow spherical space, with many floating islands, and no sign of the sun or moon...

'Where have I been taken? Is this still the ninja world?'

Shisui was shocked but quickly calmed down.

Wherever this was, the important thing was to find a way to leave and bring the information back to the village.

Kakashi-senpai was still waiting to be rescued!

But easier said than done.

After all, Shisui currently couldn't use chakra, didn't know the way, and couldn't teleport.

Coincidentally, the core of this metal sphere, as a forbidden area, had no connecting paths. Entry and exit relied solely on special flying mounts or floating stone platforms.

Like a non-swimmer stranded on a remote island, there was no way to escape!

There was no other option.

Shisui could only hide in the shadows, suppressing his urgency, and wait patiently.

But after waiting for a long time, no one approached the area, until nearly two hours had passed.

Just as Shisui was almost losing hope, the opportunity finally came.

He saw Aoto returning with the young boy, Toneri, on a floating stone platform, drifting from afar.

"They're back?"

"This is bad, I'll definitely be discovered?"

Shisui panicked, immediately hiding his gaze and holding his breath.

But Aoto didn't notice Shisui.

Most likely because Shisui's chakra was blocked, making him seem like an ordinary person, thus undetectable.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

After arriving at the forbidden area, this time Aoto didn't bring Toneri inside.

He just gave Toneri a few instructions, telling him to return to the palace and stay in his room.

Once his business was done, he would come to fetch him. Then he entered the forbidden area alone.

The innocent young Toneri had no idea about his father's plans and preparations, but he was obedient, ready to return to the palace on the floating stone platform.

Seeing this, Shisui immediately realized this was his chance!

He knew he couldn't delay any longer!

Even if Aoto didn't find him now, once he entered, he would soon discover that Shisui had escaped.

At that point, Shisui would have even less chance of successfully escaping.

Without chakra, without a summoning mount, he had no way to escape the enemy's pursuit.

The only option was to take a risk!

What risk?

Of course, kidnapping the four or five-year-old Toneri.

By taking him hostage, he could at least buy himself a chance to survive!

And Shisui, whose chakra was blocked, couldn't defeat others, but he could still handle an inexperienced child, right?

Was attacking a child a bit underhanded?

On the battlefield, there was no morality. Besides, Shisui himself was only nine years old, still a child, so no need to hesitate.

Of course, Shisui didn't attack immediately, as beside Toneri were two puppets with at least Elite Jōnin-level strength. A direct attack would surely fail.

Therefore, Shisui quietly approached, hanging beneath the floating stone platform, following Toneri back to the branch family's palace area.

And the innocent young Toneri had no vigilance at all; he never expected someone to be following him in his own home.

He unsuspectingly opened the door and entered the palace, ready to follow his father's orders, return to his room, and hide.

After landing, Shisui quietly followed and finally slipped into Toneri's room.
