According to Yamanaka Kei's initial plan.
In a normal storyline, he should have come to Rouran, first controlling the current Queen of Loulan who could influence and manipulate the Dragon Vein, and then capture Hyakuzu, who was masquerading as An Lushan.
After exposing the other party's true colors, he would read their memories to see the future development of the plot.
Finally, he would wave his hand and send the other party on their way.
But now this...
In the original story, Queen Sara's mother, Sāya, was still alive.
This graceful... ahem, widow, still held the position of queen.
Hyakuzu didn't appear at all.
Instead, Saya, who in the original story should have been a ninja from the Sand Village, appeared, looking at him with the expression of a fan looking at their idol.
Her big eyes were blinking as if they were about to cramp, unable to stop!
Yamanaka Kei followed Queen Sāya into the magnificent tower before him, while Saya, behind them, suppressed her inner excitement and closed the heavy door.
After the three of them passed through the elevator in the tower and arrived at the top.
Two figures of rather hot young girls rushed in from the balcony outside the tower.
The moment they saw Yamanaka Kei.
Their expressions also became extremely excited.
This is...
Tenten, Hinata?!
"Quick, quick, quick, Captain Tenten, the Mission Scroll!"
Saya rushed to Tenten's side in one stride, twisting her waist impatiently like a wiggling bear.
"Greetings, Kei-sama! This is the Mission Scroll for the three of us, please sign it. Oh, and the Sage Art Seal needs you to activate and unlock it with Sage Art Chakra!"
Tenten's tone was filled with undisguised excitement.
She hurriedly took out the Mission Scroll wrapped in several layers of anti-corrosion oil paper from her bosom and handed it to Yamanaka Kei.
Then, she hastily lifted the bangs from her forehead, revealing the Sage Art Seal underneath.
"I have one too! I have one too!"
Saya also pulled up the dense bangs that blocked her forehead with one hand, and pointed to the bean-sized Sage Art Seal between her eyebrows with the other.
"M-me too."
A blush rose on Hinata's pretty face, and she also revealed the mark on her forehead.
"Uh..."
Yamanaka Kei quickly scanned the Mission Scroll in his hand.
He raised his right hand, circulated Sage Art Chakra, and successively tapped the Sage Art Seal on the foreheads of the three.
In the next moment, the seal runes lit up.
A large number of memory images, carried by Genjutsu, surged towards him rapidly.
From the reason the three appeared here, to the operation and usage of the underground Dragon Vein, to the subsequent arrangements for Rouran, the arrangements for the three, and the mission rewards for the three.
"Great! Three years and another three years, we've been doing this mission for six years! It's finally done~"
Tenten held Saya's hand, jumping up and down in the hall of the tower, her whole person filled with undisguised excitement and joy.
"My fried chicken, my cola, my burger, my game~ I'm back~"
Saya was equally excited and hard to restrain, her pigtails were almost swung into circles by her.
Hinata clasped her small hands tightly in front of her, although she didn't jump around like her two sisters, the sparkle in the corners of her eyes already explained her mood.
Six years, she really, really missed Hanabi, missed her father and mother...
"Woohoo~ Get the reward! Greatly improve my strength! Walk to the peak! Perfect life!"
"Perfect, perfect! Very perfect! Hahaha~"
"By the way, which point in time are we going back to?"
"The Mission Scroll says, let..."
Tenten and Saya blinked their big eyes and looked at each other for three seconds.
They pulled Hinata together and came to Yamanaka Kei, who had just finished absorbing the Genjutsu memories.
The two gave Hinata a look.
Hinata's cheeks flushed even more, but under the scorching gazes of her sisters, she nodded slightly.
"Three, two, one!"
As Tenten's countdown fell, the three of them each put on a pitiful, cute expression and shouted in a delicate voice.
"Kei-sama~"
"...Between six days and six years, choose for yourselves."
Yamanaka Kei subconsciously took a step back.
He touched his nose, and only after feeling that there was nothing unusual did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn it!
Girls of the future really know how to use their advantages!
This is too unfair!
"Kei-sama, love you yo (＾U＾)ノ～YO～"
Tenten made a big heart shape with her hands above her head, turned her head and discussed with her sisters which day would be more appropriate to return to the future.
"Six days later, six years is too long, Mom and Dad would probably be very worried."
"If... if it's family, they might... might want to see us sooner, no matter what we look like."
"But we really did spend six years here! Twelve years old, suddenly becoming eighteen..."
"Isn't that a good thing? Rock Lee will be shocked for a whole year! Huh? If that's the case, will Neji have to call Hinata Elder Sister?"
"Ah? Th-th-this..."
"That makes sense! Then let's make it six days! I want Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji to call me Elder Sister too!"
"Saya, th-that's not... not very good..."
The three of them muttered and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to return to their original timeline six days later.
A full six years of separation from their family and friends.
The constant longing that arose at every moment was something they only needed to endure once. Why make the people they cared about feel sad as well?
"Kei-sama, thank you for sending them to Rouran."
Queen Sāya looked at the three girls who were jumping for joy, her elegant and noble face full of pity and love.
When the three of them first came to Rouran, they were only twelve or thirteen years old.
Pure, lovely, and without any guile.
Their hearts and minds were focused on how to build up Rouran, which at the time was just a collection of low adobe houses.
Six years, watching Rouran gradually develop into its current scale.
How could Sāya not be grateful?
"Forget about thanking me, it's just mutual benefit. Thank them, they were the ones who chose Rouran."
Yamanaka Kei waved his hand, not accepting Queen Sāya's gratitude.
Having read the Genjutsu memories in the Sage Art Seal just now, he could somewhat understand the difficulty of those six years for Tenten, Hinata, and Saya.
After all, when he first transmigrated to the Naruto world, he also had various discomforts.
From the technologically advanced Five Shinobi Nations of more than ten years later, to the desolate Rouran.
Eating sand for a full six years.
During this time, because of the restrictions connected to the Dragon Vein, while being protected by the Dragon Vein, he could not leave Rouran too far, and could only honestly stay here to complete the mission.
Unless, like Hyakuzu in the original story, they possessed great ambition.
Otherwise, wanting to persevere was undoubtedly a huge test of perseverance and willpower for the three of them.
"Mm."
Queen of Loulan Sāya's lips curled into a gentle smile.
In six years, she had long regarded Tenten, Hinata, and Saya as sisters and daughters.
They were already her closest family.
"Kei-sama, we've decided! We'll return to our original timeline six days from now!"
Tenten pulled her two little sisters and came before Yamanaka Kei, stating their final decision.
"Alright, then let's start distributing the mission rewards."
Yamanaka Kei nodded with a smile.
After a little preparation, following the techniques described in the Genjutsu memory.
He used Sage Art Yin Release energy to replicate the experience of cultivating the Flying Thunder God Technique that the system had instilled in him, along with the space ninjutsu techniques he had later comprehended, as well as the swordsmanship and usage skills attached to the [Guaranteed Decapitation], and condensed it at his fingertip.
He raised his hand and gently touched Tenten's forehead with his index finger, on the Sage Art Seal that had already been opened but had never disappeared.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Dragon Vein's energy.
Tenten's spatial perception talent was much stronger than what she had shown in the original story.
With the help of this Sage Art Seal's power.
After slowly merging and absorbing the cultivation memories he replicated, her strength would probably undergo a tremendous transformation!
With the first experience.
Yamanaka Kei quickly sealed his own experience of cultivating the Yamanaka Clan's complete set of more than ten family secret techniques into Saya's forehead.
In the future, all five major shinobi villages would be merged. Now, in the ninja world, most of the ninja families' secret techniques have been made public, and these things can be exchanged through mission contributions.
In contrast.
What was precious about this six-year mission was not these secret techniques, but Yamanaka Kei's own cultivation memories and experience!
He is now a proper Six Paths-level big shot.
From a commanding position, the upper limit of many ninjutsu has been raised by more than one level!
If she could completely absorb what he gave her.
Saya's future would probably become an extremely famous powerhouse in the ninja world!
As for the last one, Hinata.
Amidst her shy expression, Yamanaka Kei gently tapped the Sage Art Seal on her forehead three times with Sage Art Chakra.
In the slight Chakra smoke.
He held the small glass bottle that came out of the seal.
A pair of blue-purple Tenseigan were emitting a faint glow in this glass bottle!
In Hinata's stunned and puzzled eyes.
Yamanaka Kei opened the glass bottle, activated Sage Art Chakra, and quickly formed hand seals with both hands according to the Genjutsu memory just now.
After more than fifty long hand seals.
Hinata, wrapped in Sage Art Chakra, had a pair of Byakugan emitting a faint, white glow.
The pure Hyuga bloodline in her body was completely activated.
A large amount of Tenseigan dōjutsu power poured out from the glass bottle in Yamanaka Kei's hand.
In just a moment, the Tenseigan in the glass bottle turned to ashes and completely disappeared, while Hinata returned to normal.
"Well, it will probably take about half a month for your eyes and bloodline to complete their transformation. Be careful during this period, or you might accidentally hurt others."
Yamanaka Kei gave a word of caution.
According to the Genjutsu memories just now, these Tenseigan were also cultivated by Orochimaru.
That guy will have Tenseigan and Mangekyo to take at random in the future.
The warehouse is almost overflowing!
It's just...
In the Genjutsu memories, the main body wanted him to start bringing Jiraiya and Orochimaru together sooner...
Damn it!
Seriously?
