As the Shadow Clone's message arrived, Naruto had already activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the next moment, the scene shifted, and Naruto was already standing upon the Roran Ruins.
Amidst the yellow sand, remnants of buildings and weathered stones were scattered everywhere.
From these remaining structures, it was easy to see how prosperous Rouran once was, perfectly matching the grand and bustling desert city depicted in the movie.
However, upon seeing this scene, Naruto's expression turned somber.
His plan to go to the future and beat up his foolish son, Boruto, seemed destined to fail.
Walking slowly towards the location of the underground Dragon Vein, Naruto diverted his mind to the Sealing Space, saying to Kurama, who was scribbling at a desk, "It seems your previous guess was correct. This Dragon Vein indeed cannot travel through time. If it can be used, it should be able to travel to parallel worlds."
Hearing this, Kurama stopped calculating chemical formulas and looked up at Naruto in surprise, "You know this without even testing it?"
"The seal on that Dragon Vein is exactly the same as its appearance in the movie, and it contains the Chakra signature of the Fourth Hokage. This shows that the movie's content is still very valuable as a reference."
Unlike Naruto, who could only receive information after his Shadow Clone dissipated, Kurama could connect with the Chakra present in each Shadow Clone, allowing him to see things in real-time from a distance.
Therefore, Kurama could basically confirm that the Dragon Vein in the Roran Ruins here was genuine.
Beneath the seal lay vast and boundless energy, the constantly flowing energy being many times greater than his own Chakra reserves.
Kurama roughly estimated that if he were to accumulate all his Chakra, it would take at least twenty years to gather the amount possessed by this Dragon Vein. Even with Naruto combined, it would still take at least ten years.
And the most crucial point was that they had nowhere to store such a massive amount of Chakra.
"The movie's plot is simple. It tells the story of Naruto from Shippuden tracking a heinous ninja named Hyakuzu to these Roran Ruins. Hyakuzu, who had been studying the Dragon Vein for a long time, wanted to use its power to strengthen himself and defeat his pursuers."
"However, in the process, he accidentally opened a space-time tunnel and was sent by the Dragon Vein's power to decades ago, to the era when my father, Minato Namikaze, was still a young boy."
"So, he took root in Rouran, deceived the Rouran Queen, became the prime minister, changed his name to An Lushan, built a Puppet Factory, and strengthened his own power, which is why Rouran became so prosperous."
"Naruto, who entered the space-time tunnel almost simultaneously with Hyakuzu, arrived in this world several years later and met his father, Minato Namikaze, who had come here to investigate. In the end, the father and son joined forces to defeat Hyakuzu, who had been strengthened by the Dragon Vein."
"Finally, Minato Namikaze chose to seal the Dragon Vein and sealed the memories of everyone present who had seen his future son. Naruto also traveled back to his own time, and the story ended there."
Naruto briefly described the plot of the Lost Tower movie, and Kurama asked, puzzled, "I know this plot, so what? What's the problem?"
Reaching out to pat Kurama's head, Naruto's face showed an expression of concern for a simpleton, and he said speechlessly, "But now, I've come here, and the Dragon Vein is still sealed. Hyakuzu obviously won't have another chance to travel through time.
And I certainly won't be idle enough to stay in the past for a long time and cause trouble.
With Rouran's population and the Queen's conservative nature, without enough puppets to provide productivity, could they have created such a prosperous city?
Yet, a massive city ruin still exists here.
This can only mean one thing: in the past of our world, that is, in my father's era, the Naruto and Hyakuzu from a parallel world traveled through time one after another and acted out that movie's plot.
And if we were to open this Dragon Vein now, we most likely wouldn't go to the past or future timeline of our world, but to a similar time period in a parallel world of this Ninja World.
If this continues to loop infinitely, the number of parallel worlds might not be just one or two, but infinite."
By the end, Naruto's expression was already somewhat agitated.
People are all uniquely aware of themselves. If there were countless versions of himself in parallel worlds, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"..."
Kurama was speechless, is that so?
Such detailed things were really not his forte.
After thinking for a moment, Kurama comforted him, "Actually, to confirm whether there are infinite parallel worlds, you just need to use the Dragon Vein to experience it yourself.
If you travel to a timeline in the past relative to our era, then it can be said that the number of parallel worlds is infinite. As long as someone in one world uses the Dragon Vein, a new parallel world will automatically open, and this will continue infinitely.
But if the Dragon Vein's function of traveling through time and space directly fails, or you travel to an era in the future relative to our time, then it means that there is only one parallel world in our world.
That is the Ninja World we have seen in manga and anime.
And in order to ensure the accuracy of the results, you can also try to travel through time a few more times.
According to the information provided by the movie, the you in the parallel world traveled from Konoha 64, when you were 16 years old, to when your father was about twenty years old, which is Konoha 43-44 in our world.
And now it is Konoha 61, 17-18 years have passed since the you from the Shippuden era in the parallel world traveled over, if the time flow in the parallel world is the same as ours.
Let me calculate, the you in the parallel world got married at 19, had Boruto at 20, and the current plot of Boruto has progressed to a little over 12 years old after his graduation. At this time, the you in the parallel world would be 32-33 years old.
This is exactly what our world looks like after 17-18 years have passed.
If this conclusion holds, calculating the time, Boruto and Uncle Sasuke should also be traveling over with Urashiki, it's just a matter of these few days.
What you're unhappy about is the Boruto from the parallel world, right? Your own son, with your education, is much more outstanding. If they come over, your wish to beat your son can be realized now.
After all, this Dragon Vein is something unknown to us, and rashly opening it may cause unpredictable changes. And even if you want to use it, I suggest you confirm that Boruto and Sasuke from the parallel world will not come over before you do so."
Hearing this, Naruto fell into deep thought.
