Orochimaru stared intently at Indra, his expression a mixture of surprise and shock.
Indra grew slightly impatient.
Just then, Sasuke interjected, "Alright, stop staring. Let's take a look at this thing first!"
With that, Sasuke produced the Otsutsuki clan's God Tool, the Plow.
Sasuke had sought out Orochimaru not only for his exceptional scientific talent but also for his skills as a top-tier ninja.
He hoped that Orochimaru's combined expertise could identify what was wrong with the Plow.
Orochimaru was initially stunned to see the Plow encased in ice crystals.
But a moment later, a sense of unease washed over him.
This didn't look like ordinary ice crystals, nor did it seem like something formed by freezing.
Orochimaru's keen eyesight immediately told him this was no ordinary substance.
He swiftly took the Plow from Sasuke and examined it closely.
Indra, having observed the Plow, also frowned. "What is this? The coating doesn't seem to be just ice crystals!"
"That's right, it seems to be emitting extremely unique chakra fluctuations!" Madara added.
Looking at the two of them, Sasuke said, "Your senses are very sharp. This thing is indeed not ordinary. It is..."
Sasuke paused abruptly. For a moment, he hesitated, unsure whether to reveal the Plow's true purpose to them.
If they knew, what new ideas might they concoct?
He reasoned that even if he kept it secret, their suspicions would remain, making his own clandestine investigation even more difficult to conceal.
Revealing it directly might at least show their reactions.
"This thing is called the Plow!"
"It is a God Tool of the Otsutsuki clan, possessing the ability to travel through time!"
"I'm also from the past, but unlike you, I originated from this era. I only arrived in the present after the last Great Ninja War!"
"It was through this thing!"
After speaking, Sasuke carefully observed their expressions.
The moment he finished, Madara's reaction was the most intense.
Travel through time?
Possessing this meant the ability to freely travel through time.
If that's the case, then this is just fantastic! Madara's eyes gleamed.
"If you want to get this thing, then try to kill me first!" Sasuke suddenly declared, causing Madara's expression to shift slightly.
Then he smiled, saying nothing.
On the other side, Indra appeared much calmer, but Sasuke completely captured the subtle fluctuations in his eyes.
As expected, neither of these two is easy to deal with. It seems the Plow must be guarded without any mistakes.
"So, it's time!" Orochimaru exclaimed.
"No wonder the chakra fluctuations contained within it are so special!"
Unlike the other two, whose eyes flashed with sinister intent, Orochimaru's eyes were filled with greed, madness, the obsession of a scientist confronted with such a marvel.
"Orochimaru, do you have a way to unfreeze this thing?" Sasuke asked.
Hearing this, Orochimaru shook his head. "No way! At least not now, but I can try!"
"You wait for my news!"
With that, Orochimaru departed swiftly with the Plow, not even glancing back.
Seeing Orochimaru look like he was making off with stolen goods, Madara asked Sasuke faintly, "Aren't you afraid that guy will run away with this thing?"
"Hmph!" Sasuke scoffed.
"That thing cannot be moved without the power of the Otsutsuki clan."
"Even if he takes it away, it's useless!"
Saying this, Sasuke looked back at them.
"The same goes for you. Although you inherited the power of the Otsutsuki, your Otsutsuki bloodline is not strong enough to use it at all!"
Hearing this, Indra became a little curious. "You can use this thing, does that mean you inherited a very strong Otsutsuki bloodline?"
"No! I didn't inherit it; I fused it myself!"
Saying this, Sasuke smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to know the specifics. In short, even if you get it, you won't be able to use it."
This was Sasuke's warning to them.
Both Madara and Indra understood Sasuke's hidden meaning.
They didn't immediately respond.
After all, they weren't afraid of Sasuke alone, but Sasuke's two subordinates, Kimimaro and Jugo, were quite intimidating.
Adding Sasuke, it was three against two, and Madara and Indra had no communication or exchange.
Not knowing what the other was thinking, they naturally dared not act rashly.
"Alright, follow me to another place!" Sasuke commanded.
He didn't explain their next destination and started walking forward.
Jugo and Kimimaro followed closely behind.
The two had no choice but to follow Sasuke silently.
Their next destination was naturally Konoha Village.
Keeping watch over them was exhausting, and Sasuke didn't want to continue like this.
Bringing them back to Konoha and handing them over to Naruto to deal with would be a better solution.
Whether to directly seal them or do something else, Naruto could figure it out. After all, he was the Hokage of Konoha!
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Naruto looked at Danzo, who was causing a great disturbance.
"Take him down! Guard him well and don't allow anyone to contact him!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage!" a Jonin from Konoha replied, taking Danzo away. Shikamaru looked at Naruto with a tired expression. "These guys from the past are all troublesome!"
"Naruto, we must find a way to send these people back as soon as possible."
"Letting them stay in this time is not a wise decision."
Naruto certainly knew this, but the problem was that Sasuke seemed to have encountered an issue. If the Plow couldn't be fixed, there would be no way to send everyone back!
"By the way, Naruto, there's another person who also seems to be from the past, but he doesn't seem to be a bad person."
"He said he wants to meet the so-called Hokage!"
The so-called Hokage? Naruto thought, stunned for a moment. Didn't this guy have a Hokage in his era?
He didn't even know what a Hokage was.
"Let him in!" Naruto decided.
At the same time, outside Konoha Village, another person gazed at the magnificent village, his eyes drawn to the familiar Hokage Rock, which now featured several more stone statues.
"Yo!" the newcomer greeted.
"One, two, three, four, five, six!" he counted.
"So now it's the Sixth Hokage?" he mused.
"Not bad, Konoha has continued to the Sixth Generation. It seems the younger generation is quite hardworking!"
"Wait, the Fifth Hokage looks a bit familiar?"
"Why does this look like Tsunade?"
The man continued to look around, naturally attracting the attention of Konoha ninjas.
A small Anbu team appeared directly in front of him!
"Who are you?" the Anbu team leader demanded.
"Here..." the man began.
But as the team leader spoke, he suddenly recognized the other person's face.
He froze on the spot.
This...this face...this is...
The team leader stared blankly.
This face was too familiar.
They saw it almost every day.
Wasn't this the face of the First Hokage on the Hokage Rock?
This guy actually looked exactly the same as the First Hokage...
