Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 298 The First Cycle

Fifteen minutes later, the desert turned into a dense forest, but the person who created the desert was left with only the left half of their body.

"You're really not that tough, old acquaintance?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the young man asked, puzzled. He always felt that everyone was a riddle teller.

Aburame Shisei looked down and swallowed the young man whole, leaving only bones. He knew very well that this cycle was not the end.

On the other side, Uchiha Mamoru had already lost an arm, and Namikaze Minato was panting heavily, revealing the arm that he considered ugly.

"It's almost time!" Aburame Shicheng suddenly turned around.

The two followed his gaze and saw Sarutobi Asuma fall out of the whirlpool and into the sand pit.

"Pah! Pah! How did we suddenly end up in the desert, Master..."

Before he could finish speaking, a swarm of gray worms suddenly appeared on the ground, instantly crawling all over his body and devouring him until only a skeleton remained.

"Ah!" Kurenai Yuhi was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Seeing that the swarm of insects was about to surge up, Minato Namikaze rushed over to save her without thinking.

But what awaited him was a wind blade that had been anticipated. As a gentle breeze brushed his face, the young Uchiha Momoshiki froze on the spot, his pupils dilated, and two bloody marks appeared on his face.

His closest master and companions were cut in two by the wind blade, their bodies falling to the ground and being devoured by the insect swarm until only bones remained.

"Ah...ah..."

He clutched his head in anguish, only to be met with a face that looked like his own when he was young.

At the same time, blood began to flow from his eyes, and windmills spun in his eyes. At this moment, he no longer needed to lock on them; the spacetime power of the dragon vein had anchored his eyes and automatically began to cycle.

The future Uchiha Mamoru suddenly knelt down and stood there blankly, his eyes unblinking.

"How could this be? How could it be me? My eyes, my eyes, weren't they awakened during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage?" He covered his eyes, muttering to himself, as a white light slowly flashed past them.

At that moment, Shisei Aburame appeared beside him unnoticed. "Did you think an ordinary kaleidoscope would grant you the ability to rewind time? Your fate is sealed. I await your breakdown. See you next time!"

After saying this, it's like flipping a switch, rewinding time, or restarting!

Uchiha Mamoru returned to the node, sitting blankly on the beach, muttering, "Impossible, impossible!"

"Uchiha, what the hell are you doing?" The young man scratched his head, looking at him as he went crazy.

Uchiha Mamoru suddenly raised his head. "We were wrong, we were all wrong. We shouldn't have come back. There's no way out of this cycle. We can't defeat him. No, there's still a chance."

Suddenly, Uchiha Mamoru thought of something. He tilted his head back and burst into maniacal laughter. Finally, he grabbed the arms of the young man beside him and shook him violently.

"Quick, let's hide. Help me kill someone later."

The young man's head throbbed from being shaken so much. "What on earth happened? What's wrong with you? Are you possessed? And why did you suddenly think of killing someone? Who was it? Aburame Shisei?"

But soon, a sense of dread crept into his heart, a feeling of déjà vu washing over him. "With our strength, can we really succeed?"

"It's not that we can't beat Aburame Shigeaki. It's that I'm the person I used to be!"

"Are you crazy?!"

The young man felt that the other person was really crazy. The time paradox of the future self killing the past self would make them stuck in time forever, or disappear completely.

He had just saved his father and was thinking about reuniting with his family after returning home. If he were gone, who would break the seal and rescue his father?

Or perhaps, does the future timeline they inhabit still exist?

"No, don't you understand?" This time, Uchiha Mori didn't explain to him anymore, as if he had made up his mind. "We can't win this way, this is the only way."

"How could that be? As long as you jump into the time tunnel..."

"There is a seal, the Queen's seal."

At that moment, the two heard a call from behind, but Uchiha Mamoru paid no attention to it, because he had made up his mind to trap everyone here, even if it meant sacrificing his comrades and master.

"I'm sorry, Master, this time I will bear the consequences!"

The next second, he pulled out a kunai and vanished from the spot.

The young man next to him was also shocked by his actions and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

A quarter of an hour later, Anroku-kun's headless corpse fell once again to the combined attack of the young man and Minato Namikaze.

However, without Uchiha Mori's participation this time, their process of defeating the opponent was somewhat complicated.

"Who are you...?"

"Time traveler, Fourth Hokage, let me introduce myself. My name is Kazuya Senju." The young man introduced himself for the first time and extended his hand to him.

Minato Namikaze also extended his hand and shook hands with him, and he quickly judged that the other party might be Tsunade's son, because the other party's exquisite Wood Release technique could not be faked.

Because time was of the essence, Senju Kazuya continued to explain, "My companion is your apprentice, Uchiha Mamoru. He suddenly went mad for some reason and is preparing to kill his past self, so we must stop him."

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly, but quickly grasped the key information: "Could it be that those three brats are also coming in? But how did he know?"

Kazuya Senju shook his head and said, "I couldn't understand what he was saying, but he kept repeating the same thing over and over."

"A loop?" Minato Namikaze muttered to himself, quickly realizing a possibility.

Just then, another figure appeared on the puppet; it was Aburame Shisei.

Kazuya Senju quickly grabbed Minato Namikaze's hand and ran away.

Minato Namikaze was still puzzled, but before he could ask, Kazuya Senju said, "We can't beat him, so we should just run."

As for why I felt I couldn't win, it was probably just a natural premonition.

"Use the Flying Thunder God Technique; it'll make you run faster."

The two disappeared in a flash. Aburame Shisei was stunned for a second. "Am I that scary?"

Until he received a signal, cut open the puppet's stomach, and saw the word "cycle," a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"No wonder, I feel like I've experienced this kind of thing many times before."

This time he wasn't in a hurry at all, because he had already guessed that the outcome was inevitable. "Perhaps I should use this time to cultivate the insects."

Although cultivation is useless, raising insects is definitely useful, and the number of insects raised can also determine how many times he has cycled through.

Thinking of this brilliant idea, Shisei Aburame smiled even more happily.

Because nothing is more enjoyable than getting free time.

If that were the case, it would mean being able to get unlimited freebies without having to endure any tedious or boring time.

With that in mind, he put all the materials he had collected into a petri dish and began to wait quietly.
