Just as everyone was confused, Naruto's eyes changed.
At this moment, Naruto himself went offline, and Grey Wolf came online.
"I think you all have some misunderstanding about time travel!"
"Hmm? You're Grey Wolf?" Minato Namikaze, hearing the unusual tone in Naruto's voice, looked at him and asked.
"Hmm!" Grey Wolf nodded and explained, "So-called time travel is divided into two types: one is space travel, and the other is time travel."
"What you just described, traveling to the past and future, is time travel, which is vertical travel."
"And our current situation is very likely space travel, which is horizontal travel."
"Horizontal travel is not through time, but through space, which is what is known as a parallel world."
"So you're saying we've traveled to a parallel world? How do we get back?" Minato Namikaze asked.
"If it's a parallel world… getting back will be a bit difficult, mainly because… it's uncertain how many parallel worlds there actually are."
Actually, what Grey Wolf wanted to say was that as long as there was a fanfiction of Hokage, a parallel world might be created.
How many fanfiction works derived from Hokage are there? Countless!
Hearing Grey Wolf say that returning would be difficult, the few people present immediately frowned.
Finally, Minato Namikaze came up with an idea, "I left a Shadow Clone in our own world. If we can use the connection between the Shadow Clone and me, can we pinpoint our coordinates?"
Grey Wolf's eyes lit up at the words; this was indeed a good method. As long as there was an idea, Grey Wolf could come up with corresponding nonsensical black technology.
"This method is good! It can…"
After saying this, Grey Wolf's consciousness went offline, returning to the Sealing Space to start tinkering with a parallel world shuttle.
Naruto reopened his eyes and then said, "Since we're just sitting around anyway, how about we take a look at the Ninja World of this parallel world?"
Naruto had heard everything Grey Wolf said just now, so he wanted to see what kind of world this parallel Ninja World would be.
No one objected to Naruto's words; after all, they were just sitting around anyway.
"Since it's a parallel Ninja World, we should still hide our identities! What if we run into ourselves?"
Minato Namikaze still reminded them.
Indeed, running into oneself is quite awkward, especially since they don't know what kind of person their parallel self is, or which period of their life they are in—the future? Or the past?
From the kunai stuck in the mouth of the Dragon Vein, it could be seen that the current Ninja World's time should be after the Third Great Ninja War. As for the specific time period, they would have to go out and see.
The group left the Ancient City of Lou Lan together. Their first stop was not Konoha Village, but rather a black market where they began to gather information about the current Ninja World.
As for money? Just capture a few rogue ninja or wanted criminals; it was simple and quick.
In the black market, Naruto and the others ran into an acquaintance: Kakuzu.
At this time, Kakuzu was exchanging bounties for heads here.
Seeing this, Naruto smiled and thought, "Just when I'm tired, a pillow appears!"
"The patron has arrived; no need to go earn bounties ourselves!"
After Kakuzu finished exchanging bounties and left the black market exchange, Naruto and Sasori followed him.
Dealing with Kakuzu alone didn't require so many people.
Originally, Naruto planned to go by himself, but Sasori said he wanted to beat Kakuzu, so he followed along.
Because Naruto and Sasori had no intention of hiding, Kakuzu discovered them as soon as he walked out of the exchange.
As Kakuzu, who was from the same era as the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, he naturally wasn't afraid of being double-crossed!
Who was he? Kakuzu, with Kage-level strength, was a man who had fought the First Hokage back in the day. Would he be afraid of being double-crossed?
Naturally, to be safe, Kakuzu still led the trackers towards his partner, Hidan.
After reuniting with Hidan, Kakuzu stopped and turned back, saying coldly, "Come out, no need to hide!"
At the same time, Naruto and Sasori emerged from behind two trees.
Seeing two masked people, Kakuzu frowned and said, "Take off your masks! Let me see if you have bounties on your heads!"
"Since you plan to double-cross me, you should be prepared to be killed by me!"
Just then, Hidan raised his giant scythe and cackled, "Kakuzu, why so much nonsense? At a time like this, we should just charge straight in and sacrifice them to Lord Jashin!"
Hidan's giant scythe swung towards Sasori's neck.
Seeing this, Sasori merely raised his arm. A clang of metal rang out, and Sasori easily blocked Hidan's attack.
Seeing that his attack couldn't even break through the defense, Hidan was a little startled.
Actually, even if he had broken through Sasori's defense, he wouldn't have been able to get his blood. After all, the current Sasori was a pure mechanical body. If the defense were broken, would blood flow out? Motor oil would be more likely.
At the same time Hidan made his move, Naruto also rushed towards Kakuzu.
Sasori looked on helplessly and said, "I was still thinking of giving Kakuzu a beating! Looks like I can only beat you!"
With that, Sasori landed a straight punch on Hidan's nose.
Hidan, seeing this, had no intention of dodging, planning to trade blows with the aim of getting a drop of blood from Sasori.
It was still the same point as before: getting human blood from Sasori was impossible.
So… Hidan trading blows with Sasori was completely Sasori unilaterally beating Hidan.
On the other side.
Naruto's battle was much faster.
He had no intention of hiding his strength: Nine-Tails Chakra Mode + Six Styles taijutsu + Haki + Nen Ability + Pikachu Mode.
With various buffs stacked, in just a few breaths, Kakuzu felt two of his hearts shattered.
The two instantly shattered hearts made Kakuzu realize that he had run into a tough opponent.
He turned to look at Hidan's side, only to see that Hidan was being unilaterally thrashed by his opponent.
Having witnessed the speed Naruto had just unleashed, Kakuzu knew that if the opponent wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to escape.
At this moment, Kakuzu felt the same sense of powerlessness he had experienced when facing the First Hokage back then.
The opponent was very fast, so fast that he couldn't see him, and the opponent also knew the weakness of his five hearts. There was no way to win or escape.
But even so, Kakuzu wanted to take a gamble.
Just as Kakuzu was about to risk his life, he heard Naruto on the other side say, "Tell me, how much are you and that guy over there worth? Pay up and we'll spare your lives!"
Kakuzu was overjoyed at the words.
Immediately, he began to think about how much he was worth.
Kakuzu first took out a larger scroll, which contained ten million.
He thought carefully, ten million was too much, so he took out a medium-sized scroll worth one million.
He thought again, one million was also a bit much.
Finally, he took out two scrolls, each worth one hundred thousand Ryo, and threw them to Naruto.
"Our lives are worth one hundred thousand. Take it!"
Naruto: …
"Kakuzu… you're really stingy! I truly admire you for demeaning yourself to be worth even less than Asuma for money!"
Naruto muttered to himself, then gave Kakuzu a beating and took all the money-storing scrolls from him.
