Chapter 1490 The Truncated Future

Chapter 1490 The Truncated Future
In order to confirm his guess, Shinji looked around, trying to find some traces of the "Barrier Project".

But all I could see was chaos. Apart from the mountains and rivers that were barely recognizable, there were almost no valuable reference points.

“Earthquakes, floods, wildfires.”

Shinji had a complicated expression.

He had actually experienced such scenes many times, but when it happened to the ninja world, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared in the distant sky.

The world under the shadow shattered into pieces, turned into dust, and dissipated into endless nothingness.

"That is."

He sensed a powerful force from the shadows. This force was not unfamiliar to him. It was the terrifying overlord who was targeting the ninja world.

Shinji instinctively wanted to activate the 'God Emperor Spirit Master' and turn on the 'God Emperor Mode' to meet the enemy, but as soon as the thought came to his mind, he suppressed it.

He is now a time traveler, and everything he does in the 'future' will affect the 'past' and 'present', so if he chooses to take action here, the long river of time will be changed, and once he fails, the fact that the ninja world will be destroyed will be doomed, and it will be unified at every time node of the 'future', 'past', and 'present'.

Therefore, he cannot be impulsive, his 'present' is not ready yet, so he cannot rush to face the 'future'.

Rumble.
Just as Shinji was about to activate the 'Long River' and return to his own timeline, a huge roar suddenly came from the sky above his head.

Shinji looked up and found that the moon in the starry sky was shattered. Kaguya Otsutsuki with long hair broke free and faced the shadow coming from afar.

Then, a huge black ball appeared and gradually grew larger.

"Expanding Dao-seeking Jade."

Shinji recognized the gradually growing black ball at a glance.

Undoubtedly, after escaping from the trap, Kaguya Otsutsuki chose to use the "Expanding Truth-Seeking Orb" to die together with the Overlord of Terror after discovering the Overlord of Terror.

But at this moment, a huge shattering sound was heard.

The expanding black ball seemed to be affected by some force and shattered in the air in an instant, turning into ashes all over the sky. Along with the "Expanding Truth-Seeking Jade", the Otsutsuki Kaguya who had just faced the shadow also turned into ashes.

Shinji shook his head slightly.

A single 'Kekkei Net' is not enough to fight against the Overlord, Shinji has already tried this. Moreover, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who has just escaped from the predicament, is in extremely poor condition, and it is hard to say whether she can maintain the level of 'Kekkei Net'. It is natural that she cannot defeat the Overlord of Fear.

However, seeing that even the sealed Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had taken action, and he and the members of the Akatsuki organization were nowhere to be seen, Shinji could not help but be suspicious and wondered, "Was there no me in this future?"

Before Shinji could think carefully, the shadow in the distance came before him.

Shinji no longer hesitated, secretly activated the 'Long River' and escaped into it, leaving this future. After returning to his own time node, Shinji thought to himself: "It seems that this is a branch among many futures."

In fact, he knew in his heart that the future he had just traveled through was most likely not only a branch of the future, but also the most likely branch to be realized among the many branches of the future.

In other words, there is a high probability that the ninja world will be destroyed in the future.

This is also in line with the fate that the world targeted by the overlord will eventually experience!

Returning to the central training ground of the flying fortress, Shinji sat cross-legged on the ground again and began to concentrate on thinking.

"The 'past' and 'present' can perfectly overlap, so why can't the 'future'? And why is there no me in the future of the 'long river'?"

The future he just experienced without him had caused him to have many doubts, the biggest of which was why he would not be seen fighting in the future apocalypse.

You have to know that he is now the 'Kekkei Senra', a unique existence in the ninja world. Except for the overlord, no one can really threaten him. Even if Otsutsuki Shibaai is resurrected, it is unknown who will win and who will lose between the two of them.

What's more, even if a powerful enemy who could rival Shinji really appeared in the Ninja World, the war between Shinji and that powerful enemy would be enough to cause great damage to the Ninja World. However, there was clearly no sign of a war in the Ninja World in the future just now.

While thinking, Shinji suddenly realized something: "I understand. The future of the world targeted by the overlord is cut off!"

The overlord needs the 'past' and 'present' of a world, because only this world with the 'past' and 'present' can carry the information the overlord needs, but the overlord does not need the world to have a 'future'!
Therefore, before targeting a world and invading it, the Overlord has already cut off the future of that world. This is why in the future that Shinji traveled to using the "Long River", most of the branches were destined to be destroyed.

However, the Overlord can only cut off the future of the ninja world, but cannot cut off the future of Shinji who has been promoted to 'Kekkei Senra', so Shinji does not exist in the future cut off by the Overlord.

"No wonder the hope that the 'Pure Eye' saw was me. It turns out that I am the only variable that can influence the future of the ninja world!"

After realizing this, Shinji breathed a sigh of relief, but then his brows furrowed again.

The future of the ninja world was cut short by the Overlord of Fear, which completely shattered his idea of ​​monopolizing the entire concept of time.

Because he can change the past and the present, but he cannot immediately change the future that has been interrupted by the overlord.

In other words, his "long river" did not completely overlap with the long river of time in the ninja world, and there were some flaws in the "future" link.

However, despite this, because the 'past' and 'present' have overlapped, his 'long river' has undergone unimaginable changes.

When 'Changhe' was just fused with 'Susanoo Lamp', although 'Changhe' suddenly became the most powerful dojutsu that Shinji currently possessed, it still had not completely escaped the scope of dojutsu. In the eyes of others, 'Changhe' at this stage could be described as a divine technique, but in the eyes of Shinji, the 'Kekkei Senra', 'Changhe' at this time was still a little lacking.

After Shinji perfectly overlapped the 'past' and 'present' with the ninja world, the 'Long River' instantly underwent a qualitative transformation, breaking away from the constraints of chakra strength and the number of dojutsu, and was promoted from a dojutsu to a concept.

In other words, it usurped the true river of time in the ninja world and covered itself with a cloak of concepts.

At this time, the 'Long River' was no longer a pupil technique. Even in Shinji's eyes, it was a true divine technique. So Shinji pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, this technique will be called 'The Long River of Time'!"

The first update is here!
