I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!-Chapter 360 - 361

"It's already known that the power of the Dragon Vein led you through time and space. Naturally, the token that can influence the Dragon Vein should be kept in hand. Even if the Dragon Vein has gone who knows where, one day it will be encountered again."

Orochimaru spoke with a smile.

Naruto felt that Orochimaru made sense, so he nodded and said:

"In that case, I'll return it after using it."

Return it?

Orochimaru glanced at Naruto.

'How naive! How could such a good thing be returned? After you leave, this token will be mine! By then...'

Orochimaru's heart burned with excitement.

The power of the Dragon Vein that allows time travel should rightfully be under his control.

But for now...

More urgent matters required his attention.

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze, letting Naruto hold the token.

This was not only because he understood the bigger picture but also because Naruto's strength was extraordinary.

Although the two hadn't fought, both had used their power while exploring the ruins.

Orochimaru's keen eyes could tell that Naruto's strength far surpassed an ordinary ninja. Even if it wasn't him, it was likely that even the so-called strongest of the Hokage, his own teacher, would struggle against him.

Though Naruto had fallen from the Six Paths level and no longer had Kurama within him...

Just like how the strength of Wood Release didn't lie in the Wood Release itself, but in Hashirama Senju.

Naruto's true power didn't lie in his Uzumaki constitution or Kurama. It was because he was the reincarnation of Asura.

After receiving chakra from the Sage of Six Paths and temporarily reaching the Six Paths level, the power of Asura within Naruto's body had completely awakened.

With such a comprehensive enhancement, along with Sage Mode, there were few ninjas in this world who could stand as his equal.

Of course, all of this meant nothing in the face of a true Six Paths level being.

Just like at this moment...

A black portal suddenly appeared beside Naruto.

Before Kushina, who was keeping an eye on Naruto, could shout out a warning, a slender, fair hand reached out from within the black portal, easily snatching the token from Naruto's hand before he could react.

Naruto was startled, just about to do something when...

A familiar voice rang in his ears:

Read 𝓁atest chapters at fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm Only.

"Thanks again, Naruto."

In an instant!

Naruto's eyes widened with rage.

He abruptly turned his head, looking through the black portal to the other side. There, floating high in the sky, his white Six Paths robe swayed in the wind, black hair draping over his shoulders. The strikingly handsome young man spoke each word clearly:

"Hagoromo Gensou!!!"

Instinctively, Naruto wanted to rush over and reclaim the token that had been casually played with by Gensou before he even had a chance to warm it up in his hands.

But a moment later, he seemed to realize something and forcibly restrained himself from acting.

At this moment, Minato and Kushina hurried to Naruto's side.

"Naruto, is he...?"

Minato gripped the Sword of Love tightly, his eyes locked onto the man in the white robe separated by only a portal, his expression filled with deep concern.

"Yes! He is Gensou!"

Naruto nodded heavily.

Though he had used the Transformation Jutsu to imitate Gensou before, compared to the real one, the aura and details were miles apart.

Now, Minato and Kushina had their confirmation. Although their determination was unwavering...

Seeing Gensou for the first time, the man who had overwhelmed the Chakra Ancestor and the Sage of Six Paths in Naruto's world, they couldn't help but feel a tremendous pressure.

Even the massive body of Kurama within the sealing space couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Too terrifying!

That man outside... His pressure far surpassed that of the Sage of Six Paths from back then.

In the distance, Orochimaru's face was stiff, and he was silently retreating.

He adored dragons, but he had no interest in meeting a true dragon who could hold fate within his grasp.

Minato and Kushina still stood firmly beside Naruto, the family of three facing Gensou together.

But...

Just thinking that the Gensou, who had left a shadow on countless Konoha ninjas just from Naruto's descriptions, was now truly appearing in this world, seemingly free and without any restraints...

An overwhelming gloom rose in the hearts of Minato, Kushina, and Naruto.

The worst prediction had come true!

Gensou had finally descended upon this world.

And from the looks of things, he most likely arrived during the same time frame as Naruto.

"What should we do??"

The trio's hearts raced in panic.

Who could stop him now?

The Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya were no longer here.

Naruto looked at his own hands.

He was well aware of Gensou's strength, and he knew that if he, who wasn't even at the Six Paths level, rushed forward, it would only mean a pointless death.

For the first time, Naruto suppressed his impulsive emotions.

Not only that, but he also held back Minato and Kushina, who were both determined and had no intention of surrendering, prepared to test the waters.

"Gensou."

Naruto positioned himself protectively in front of his parents, and asked calmly,

"What exactly do you want?"

Seeing this, Gensou's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

"Naruto, you've finally grown."

Seeing Naruto not impulsively rushing forward as he had before, disregarding the situation, Gensou sighed with emotion.

Of course, he didn't think Naruto had become afraid of death.

On the contrary, the other party had finally become a qualified ninja.

Of course, having his parents here was also part of the reason.

Gensou glanced at Minato and Kushina, then looked at Orochimaru, who was slowly trying to retreat.

Just as Orochimaru's expression changed and he prepared to activate his escape measures, Gensou calmly withdrew his gaze and looked back at Naruto, calmly answering his question:

"Naruto, I've told you before, I'm here to save the Ninja World."

"Save the Ninja World??"

Minato, Kushina, and even the distant Orochimaru all looked stunned.

And Naruto...

Here it comes! Here it comes!

That familiar tone and pattern are back!

Naruto recalled how Gensou had previously called him "boy" and spoke of "saving the Ninja World" several times.

And what happened?

He was either tricked badly or ended up assisting him unknowingly.

Stay calm! Stay calm!

Hearing Gensou say this again, Naruto gritted his teeth and nearly lost his composure:

"Saving the Ninja World isn't done like that!"

"Then how should it be done?" Gensou asked calmly.

Naruto instinctively replied, "Through love, through communication, through peaceful means."

"Naive."

Gensou spoke those two words indifferently.

Before Naruto could argue back, Gensou examined him and continued:

"I don't know if it's Asura's influence or just your nature. Naruto, your vision is still too narrow."

"Treasure what little time you have left with your family."

After saying that, Gensou shifted his attention to the token in his hand, letting the black portal gradually shrink.
