Tomoki didn't care about the dire situation Obito was facing.
At this moment, after a long journey, Tomoki had already led his team to the Rouran Ancient Kingdom.
The meeting between Tomoki and Rasa, plus the team's trip to a nearby oasis to purchase necessities like food, fresh water, and tents, took a full day.
As Tomoki looked at the ruins of the Rouran Ancient Kingdom in front of him,
at the location of the Dragon Vein, a small snake crawled onto Orochimaru, who was in the process of breaking Minato Namikaze's seal.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!"
"They're here already, what a pity. The Fourth Hokage's sealing jutsu is truly advanced, it seems there's no time left!"
Orochimaru said it was a pity, but there was no hint of regret in his tone.
His movements were incredibly fast, and after completely restoring the seal left by Minato Namikaze,
Orochimaru cleaned up all traces of his presence, then his body transformed. In front of a naturally formed small cave entrance, he also turned into a small white snake and slipped inside.
He didn't take a single cloud with him, nor did he leave a single trace.
"Kabuto, you lead the research team to begin. The rest of the Konoha Ninja, stand by and assist the research Ninja with the preliminary preparations!"
Tomoki glanced at the ruins, then issued his command.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" × N
After everyone responded, Tomoki smiled at the Sunagakure ninjas standing quietly beside him.
"To the Sunagakure ninjas, please feel free to do as you wish, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Konoha Ninja's actions."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
The leading Sunagakure Ninja bowed to Tomoki and responded earnestly.
Tomoki shook his head, his smile unchanged.
"It's too early. You will be even more grateful to Konoha later!"
The Sunagakure leader couldn't understand the profound meaning of Tomoki's words.
He wanted to ask further but found that Tomoki had already turned and left, and now only Tomoki's back could be seen.
Tomoki's cheerful demeanor was very deceptive, and his expression was also very sincere.
However, the reason this Sunagakure leader became a leader was because he possessed a beast-like intuition.
Recalling the intuition that constantly warned him when he faced Tomoki directly, he extinguished the idea of actively going up to ask questions.
That feeling was too uncomfortable, many times more uncomfortable than being in front of Rasa-sama.
Turning his head, he had his subordinates form a circle, and the leader began to make hand signs.
The content of the hand signs was not complicated: 'According to the previous assignment, keep a close eye on every Konoha Ninja and record all their actions!'
After repeating it three times, he stood up straight and asked everyone,
"Understood?"
"Understood, sir!" × N
The Sunagakure leader said no more. Many things had already been explained in detail before their departure.
"Disperse!"
The equally large Sunagakure team instantly disappeared, catching up with the gradually dispersing Konoha team ahead and blending in.
About half an hour later, the Konoha and Sunagakure teams arrived at the location of the Dragon Vein.
Not everyone entered, because there wasn't enough space.
Only a small portion of the personnel came to this place, while the rest were on alert outside.
Tomoki naturally saw the Dragon Vein and the seal on it.
Ignoring the researchers' actions, Tomoki wandered around.
And part of his mind sank into his Golden Finger, constantly perceiving its changes.
Just as expected, Tomoki wandered around the Dragon Vein, even touching the seal on it.
Afterwards, he even toured the entire Rouran Ancient Kingdom, but the Golden Finger showed no reaction.
After confirming that the system's [Backpack] module was no longer in this time and place, Tomoki temporarily lost interest.
Even as a Transmigrator, Tomoki couldn't say anything about time travel.
He could only let Kabuto and the others figure out a way to research it later. As for possessing a system, no matter how confident Tomoki was, he wouldn't tell anyone.
Everything would have to wait until the situation unfolded.
Tomoki wasn't worried or scared about time travel; after all, he was thick-skinned now and would be among the top tier in any era.
Even if he traveled back to the era of the Six Paths Sage and Kaguya's great battle, Tomoki wouldn't be worried at all.
Not to mention his own powerful strength, the Six Paths Sage, who was just starting out at that time, could be thoroughly dealt with by his own PY power.
However, Tomoki was not traveling through time to do archaeology or to witness famous scenes; he was doing it to complete his own system.
This made Tomoki involuntarily more cautious.
The explanations in the original work were too vague and far-fetched. Everything still had to wait until the mechanism was understood and the cause and principle of time travel were figured out before taking the next step.
For now, it was better to start with the main plan: allowing Ninja to obtain true Chakra.
Thinking of this, Tomoki himself became expectant. Chakra's influence on emotions was greater than imagined, and Tomoki knew he was being closely watched.
But constantly resisting, adhering to the principle of never being swayed by emotions without benefit, Tomoki hadn't done anything for fun since Shisui enlightened him that time.
But it was really uncomfortable this way. Tomoki often missed those carefree days when he did everything according to his likes and dislikes, following his heart's desires.
Not only the researchers who knew the truth, but Tomoki also looked forward to that day coming soon.
