Naruto Time Control

Chapter 297: The True Enemy

Rin pouted and ate the peach herself, then leaned on Yeruashi's shoulder, smiled and said, "Yeruashi, why did the women of the Women's Country get pregnant after drinking water from the river in yesterday's episode?"

Yeruashi casually replied as he continued reading the book, "There must have been some life energy in the river."

Rin smiled and said, "Heh, heh, heh, wrong answer, it is due to the fact that there is a country of men upstream."

Yeruashi: "????"

After a brief moment of surprise, Kurenai realized something and blushed deeply, then looked at Rin with annoyance.

After thinking for a moment, Kurenai leaned over to Yeruashi and whispered, breathing warm air into his ear, "Yeruashi, maybe we should try a different way of creating life tonight."

Yeruashi put the book down quietly, picked up two peaches from the table and popped them into Kurenai and Rin's mouths, saying, "There you go."

"That's enough."

"Now, even many adult women can't compare to you..."

Yeruashi shook his head and said somberly.

Ah, how pure and innocent these girls were in the Ninja Academy, but now the growth of their bodies can no longer keep up with their minds.

Unfortunately, even if I returned their bodies to the age of ten, I wouldn't be able to affect their consciousness.... Perhaps the main 'poison of time' is growth?

At the time, Yeruashi thought that this might be his real enemy.

Although now he is still rich in emotions, like a normal person, but since he defeated Uchiha Madara, let go of Kaguya in another dimension and climbed to the real top of the ninja world, Yeruashi began to feel that his usual human emotions begin to weaken a lot.

For example, a person's desire to develop and advance.

Now, Yeruashi still retains some of this desire, as he faces the unresolved threats of Kaguya and Momoshiki, for the final elimination of which it is necessary to open the Eighth Gate.

But after opening the Eighth Gate and becoming invincible, he may lose motivation and begin to 'go bald'.

With the power of the Chakra Fruit and the illusory clock, he is essentially immortal, and the Rinne Tenseigan, which contains the power of life and death, can grant immortality to other people.

Perhaps not too much will change in the next few decades.

But for hundreds or even thousands of years?

Maybe he will gradually become a Saitama simulacrum of the One Punch-Man world, and then, one by one, lose all human emotions, becoming a so-called 'god'.

Although that step is still far away and there is still a long time in between, Yeruashi, who is at the top of the ninja world, was forced to think about it now.

So far, only three of the illusory clock's abilities have been discovered.

Estimating the speed of dispersion of the fog covering number four, the next skill will be discovered in at least ten years, not to mention the fifth and sixth skills, which are still completely shrouded in a dense fog.

The biggest problem you will face in the process of gaining full control of the illusory clock may not be the question of discovering all the abilities, but the question of preserving your identity throughout this process.

Otherwise.

You will be sucked into time.

"Gaining true control over time? I'm too far away from that."

Yeruashi whispered thoughtfully.

He felt that he had encountered the biggest obstacle and the most critical moment on the way to gaining true control over time.

One could say it was his instinct or intuition.

Perhaps, after gaining power with time, the previous user of the illusory clock lived for countless years, until he finally collapsed and caused the collapse of the illusory clock.

Then.

The illusory clock wandered through time and space until it merged with him, making him its new master.

Otherwise, it is hard to imagine what could have brought the illusory clock to its current state, because now, in fact, it is slowly recovering and gradually regaining its abilities.

After all.

Time is a force above space!

It may seem that some spatial abilities can resist its temporal abilities, but this is only due to the fact that it does not have all the abilities of the illusory clock, otherwise, the confrontation of space and time would not be out of the question.

For example.

Even now, with the power of the third stage of the Six Paths, Yeruashi consumes the minimum amount of time energy of the illusory clock, returning his body to the previous state, using the ability to reverse time.

It turns out...

In terms of time, it's not worth mentioning his strength at all. He would definitely be able to master everything, gaining complete control over such power!

"I'm going for a walk."

Yeruashi got up from the sofa.

"We'll go with you."

Kurenai and Rin abruptly got up from the couch behind Yeruashi and ran to their rooms, quickly changing their clothes to follow him.

Yeruashi went to the roof of the Hokage building and looked down at Konoha below.

To date, Konoha has become roughly twice as large as it was a few years ago. If the village continues to grow at this rate, it may become so large that Pain's Shinra Tensei will only be able to cover one of its districts at a time.

"Where are we going?"

Rin appeared next to Yeruashi and said, "I heard that in recent years a city with incredible hot springs has appeared, many aristocrats regularly visit there."

Kurenai looked at Yeruashi and agreed with Rin, which is extremely rare these days, "A hot spring vacation? That sounds good, what do you say, Yeruashi?"

"Come on, if you want, nothing important has been happening lately anyway. Let Kakashi take the responsibility to suppress Iwagakure and take control of the Land Country."

Yeruashi smiled and said in a relaxed manner, as if it didn't matter at all.

Rin asked in surprise, "Are we already going to act against Iwagakure?"

Taking control of the Wind Country and the Lightning Country led to a sharp increase in the number of incoming missions. This, of course, boosted Konoha's development, but at the same time, their ninja now had a lot of work to do.

Kurenai looked at Yeruashi and said thoughtfully, "Should we make a move? There might be some problems if Iwagakure decides to resist."

"Don't worry, Kakashi is capable of dealing with this."

Yeruashi said calmly, "Right now, Iwagakure has lost even their Jinchuriki, so their resistance won't be a big problem. It would be too embarrassing if my brother couldn't even deal with old noki..."

It's worth noting that Kakashi became the Jinchuriki of the Hachibi. But he is no ordinary Jinchuriki, it would be more correct to say that Hachibi has become his summoned beast.
