"Hiruzen-senpai, how are you feeling?"
Lying on the hospital bed, his whole body wrapped up like a mummy, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only choke and choke with words.
He felt that he was simply unlucky. Not to mention the explosion he encountered in the laboratory, the explosion actually brought him to the parallel world where Yamato and the others were.
There was more than one unlucky thing. Sarutobi Hiruzen also suffered multiple fractures and internal bleeding due to the tremendous pressure he suffered during the time travel. If Yamato hadn't brought him back to Konoha in time and sought treatment from Tsunade, he would have died directly.
His life was cut short.
"Yamato, about my information, how many people in this village know it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen is most concerned about the attitude of Konoha's top management.
Compared to the Kingdom of Light, which was transformed and upgraded by Kizaru and has a more civilized and advanced social form, the Konoha Village in Yamato still has the old-fashioned shinobi village system.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not sure what kind of treatment he would receive as the Third Hokage who had traveled through time.
Based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's past experience, it was possible for him to be pulled for interrogation or even be studied.
"Only the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade-sama, and your disciple Shizune know your identity, but no one else knows." Yamato said comfortingly.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little relieved, "Did you find anything during this time travel?"
"No." Speaking of this, Yamato's expression became distressed. Naruto and the others were still in the parallel world. If he hadn't brought back a third-generation Hokage from the parallel world, Yamato wouldn't have known how to explain to the Hokage.
He had lost the village's extremely important Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Such a serious accident could not be explained clearly by just a word of time travel.
Once this matter is leaked, Yamato has already guessed what his end will be.
In addition, considering Yamato's feelings for Naruto and the others, as well as his sense of responsibility, it is impossible for Yamato to give up on rescuing Naruto and the others.
"Senior Hiruzen, you can recover well here. Tsunade-sama will come to see you later." He had just returned to the village, and Yamato had many things to do and could not stay here longer.
"Yes! I understand, go and do your work!" As a former Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly understood Yamato's difficult situation at this time.
The perspective returned to the other side, and Kizaru who came to Loulan stayed here directly.
On the afternoon of the day he arrived at the research institute, Kizaru proposed that he use senjutsu chakra to create a clone to test the pressure generated during time travel.
Through the clone's feedback, Kizaru can directly assess whether he can withstand such pressure.
Neither Senju Tobirama nor Orochimaru had any objection to Kizaru's proposal. Anyway, Kizaru was only testing a clone.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, under the watchful eyes of the core staff of the laboratory, Kizaru's clone took Sai's paintbrush and walked onto the teleportation platform.
As Orochimaru began to control the instrument, a large amount of dragon vein energy stored in the instrument was poured into the teleportation array.
The moment the energy entered the teleportation array, people outside could clearly see the space distortion on the teleportation platform surrounded by a light curtain.
The distortion lasted for three seconds, and just when everyone was worried about whether Hokage-sama's clone could bear it, Kizaru's clone holding a paintbrush disappeared into the light curtain.
After the clone disappeared, Orochimaru stopped the instrument. Standing in front of the control console, he looked at Kizaru.
Not only Orochimaru, but everyone present looked at Kizaru with suppressed excitement.
Using clones to conduct teleportation tests was already proposed before Kizaru came over, but no one's clones could handle the pressure when the teleportation array was opened, let alone the subsequent time travel.
Kizaru's senjutsu clone is the only successful example.
Facing everyone's gaze, Kizaru remained calm and waited for two or three minutes until he received the message from his clone.
With a smile on his face, Kizaru looked in the direction of Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru.
"It has traveled through time."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly became happy, which meant that their previous research direction was correct.
"Next, we just have to solve the problems we came back with." Senju Tobirama laughed rarely.
"It's best to reduce the pressure. I'm worried that when the Third Hokage comes back, he will be injured because he can't bear the pressure." Kizaru made suggestions with concern for the teacher.
"Let's try our best to bring Hiruzen back alive." Senju Tobirama's feelings for his disciples were limited to bringing Sarutobi Hiruzen back alive.
As for the process of coming back, whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would be injured or not, from Senju Tobirama's point of view, it was not a serious matter.
Not to mention the advanced medical technology of the Kingdom of Light, just by virtue of the unmarried couple Tsunade and Kizaru, as long as they can bring back Sarutobi Hiruzen's body and soul, they can revive him.
If he hadn't thought too much about resurrection from the dead, which might disrupt the balance between yin and yang, when Kizaru proposed the idea of resurrection from the dead as a reward for meritorious service a year ago, Senju Tobirama might have agreed.
It was precisely because of Senju Tobirama's dissuasion that Kizaru did not formally discuss this proposal.
"Then I will wait for your good news." Kizaru said nothing more.
In the next few days, Kizaru began to live a life of running from both ends. During the day, he would stay in Konoha and deal with national affairs.
After six o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Yuan will come to Loulan's research institute to understand the progress of the day's research.
This situation lasted for nine full days. In the afternoon of this day, Kizaru heard the good news.
"This is the compressed teleportation array we have developed. Theoretically, you only need to bring it near the dragon's veins and activate it with chakra to create a temporary teleportation array to teleport people back."
As he spoke, Senju Tobirama showed a palm-sized disc in front of Kizaru.
The disc made of chakra metal is engraved with densely packed rune lines, which is confusing to people.
Kizaru had little understanding of these scientific research theories and technologies. He could only comment on the appearance: "It looks pretty good."
Knowing that when he explained scientific knowledge to Kizaru, he was playing the harp to a cow, Qianju Feijian did not explain any principles and directly made a request for experiments.
"Use your clone and take this teleporter through the past and test whether it works."
"Let me try!"
After saying that, Kizaru refined the senjutsu chakra and created a physical clone.
The clone took the metal disk from Senju Tobirama, and after taking an item belonging to Saai from Orochimaru, he walked onto the teleportation array again.
As the teleportation array opened, Kizaru's clone disappeared into the light curtain.
His vision went dark, then saw light again, and Kizaru's clone traveled to Naruto's parallel world.
Holding the metal disk in his hand, Kizaru looked around and found that he was still near the dragon's veins.
Based on the experience of the last time traveling, Kizaru was roughly sure that as long as he traveled through the teleportation array, the location would be near the dragon vein.
Compared to the last time he traveled through time, Kizaru's clone was in no rush to go back and tentatively sensed the natural energy around him.
Natural energy can be easily sensed, but Kumiputra's control over external natural energy has dropped off a cliff.
With the experience of practicing immortal arts and strong strength, Kizaru's clone can still absorb natural energy into the body, but both the amount and the speed of absorption are completely different from Kizaru's own world.
"This world is really uncomfortable!" Kizaru's clone commented calmly.
If we say that the world that Kizaru lives in is equivalent to Kizaru's home, or to put it exaggeratedly, it is Kizaru's divine kingdom.
Then this world is an undeveloped virgin land.
After confirming that his control over the planet was ineffective in this world, Kizaru wasted no time and went directly to a position closer to the center of the dragon vein.
In a wasteland, Kizaru injected chakra into a metal disc.
After absorbing chakra, the metal disc is activated in an instant, and the surrounding dragon vein energy is absorbed by it.
As the energy is absorbed, the runes on the metal disc light up. The light gradually expands, surrounding Kizaru, forming a translucent light curtain.
In the light curtain, the space began to distort, and Kizaru felt the pressure, but almost the moment he felt the pressure, Kizaru disappeared from the place with the metal disc.
On the other side, the moment Kizaru's clone activated the disc, the teleportation array in the research institute reacted, and the runes on it began to glow.
The light shines brightly, the space is distorted, and Kizaru's clone returns.
"Compared to the past, it takes less time and less pressure to come back." Standing on the teleportation platform, Kizaru's clone commented.
After saying that, Kizaru's clone walked off the teleportation platform, handed the metal disc in his hand to Orochimaru beside him, and then released the senjutsu himself.
As soon as the clone disappeared, Kizaru also got all the information the clone knew. After learning that the energy of another world cannot be easily controlled, a look of thought appeared on his face.
Kizaru is not big-hearted and has no intention of annexing another parallel world as his own territory.
He just suddenly thought of a question: if he absorbed the natural energy of another world and brought it back, would it enhance the foundation of his own world in disguise?
Thinking of this, Kizaru suddenly realized that if he operated like this, wouldn't it be a simplified version of the sacred tree seed?
The Otsutsuki family planted the seeds of the sacred tree on an energy-rich planet, and then waited for the seeds to grow and mature before harvesting the fruits.
If I absorb the energy from other worlds and then bring it back, wouldn't I be a human-shaped divine tree seed?
It's just that the amount and speed of absorption are far less than the seeds of the sacred tree, and the damage to other worlds and planets will be much smaller.
After all, every planet is alive in a certain sense. After absorbing energy, they will become weak, but they will gradually recover.
As long as the amount absorbed is not large, it will not cause much harm to other planets, and the impact on life on the planet will be extremely slight.
Thinking of this, Kizaru thought that after he traveled through time, he could try to absorb some natural energy and come back.
If this energy is placed in the parallel world of Naruto, except for the animals in the three holy places, it will be absorbed by others, and no one else can use it.
As long as the yellow ape does not absorb large amounts in one place, it will not cause any damage to the local ecology.
"Kizaru, there is no problem with the teleporter. You can prepare to travel through the past and bring Hiruzen back." Seeing that the test was successful, Senju Tobirama smiled with satisfaction.
After hearing Senju Tobirama's words, Kizaru was ready to agree directly, but when his heart moved, he suddenly thought of Naruto and Sakura who were still in Konoha.
"Just wait a few more days! I want Naruto and the others to receive a few more days of training." Kizaru thought of the happy time Naruto, Minato, and Kushina spent together during this period.
When Naruto returns to his own world, he will become an orphan again, although this time he will be accompanied by the chakra of his parents in his body.
The day after Naruto transformed into a tailed beast, the chakra left in him by Kushina was also activated.
In the sealed space, Naruto, who had punched Minato, burst into tears in front of his mother, like a child who had not grown up.
Of course, Naruto is not too old now, he is still just a teenager.
After Naruto and his son recognized each other, Kizaru appeared in the sealed space at the right time. Just like he did with Minato, Kizaru also replenished energy for Kushina in this parallel world.
According to Kizaru's estimation, if the two of them don't fight too hard, their chakra can easily last for seventy or eighty years.
By that time, if Naruto was still alive, he would have become an old man in his eighties or nineties.
Naruto, Kushina and Minato were all very grateful for Kizaru's help.
Even when Naruto was sleeping at night, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
If you are never able to travel back, maybe it would be good to stay in this world.
Here, no one would discriminate against him as a tailed beast jinchuriki. Here he learned about his birth and met his biological parents in the sealed space.
Here, he also worshiped Minato and Kushina in this world as his godfather and godmother, and at the same time enjoyed double fatherly and motherly love.
This is something Naruto has never experienced in his own world.
If I hadn't suddenly thought of Iruka-sensei's smiling face, Kakashi-sensei's teachings, the lustful immortal, Granny Tsunade in another world, and the companions who grew up together.
Naruto may choose to stay here forever.
"That child? He is indeed a poor little guy. Go back and tell him! Give him a few days to say goodbye to Minato and the others." Senju Tobirama knew Naruto's origins and had no idea what this child had experienced.
Childhood feels sympathy.
"I will!" After Kizaru agreed, he looked at Senju Tobirama and said, changing the subject, "Prime Minister Tobirama, the experiment here has been successful. Is it time for you to go back?"
Although Kizaru handles various affairs of the Kingdom of Light very well, he still hopes to return to his previous life as he likes to fish in the water.
Thousands of people work hard and catch their own fish, and everyone has a bright future.
"No one can use the current teleportation technology except you. I want to stay here for a few more days to try to upgrade the technology and reduce the difficulty of time travel." Senju Tobirama said half sincerely.
Why do I say half, because half of it is that Senju Tobirama is interested in the manpower and resources of another world, and the other half is that he hopes to take the opportunity to let Kizaru do more work.
Senju Tobirama is a model worker with a strong sense of responsibility. Taking on the important task of managing the Kingdom of Light is not a difficult task for him.
On the contrary, he actually enjoys this work.
Seeing with your own eyes how you have developed a country step by step that has just been established, with different humanities and extremely uneven development in different places, this sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is huge!
Senju Tobirama likes this kind of challenge, he doesn't find it hard.
However, just because Senju Tobirama likes this job, it doesn't mean he likes the people next to him who arrive late and leave early every day to fish.
If it weren't for the fact that Kizaru's reputation and strength were the foundation for maintaining the stability of the Kingdom of Light, Senju Tobirama would have wanted this guy who was idle and wandering around to retire early.
