The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

Just when Xia Li's figure disappeared.

In the Hokage's office of Konoha, Xia Li's fairy magic shadow clone suddenly paused, and then suddenly stood up.

"Hokage, what happened?" Xia Li's actions frightened Nara Shikaku.

Xia Li did not answer anything. He walked to the window and closed his eyes as if sensing something. After a long time, he frowned. Even if he focused all his attention on perception, he still could not sense the position of his original body.

If it weren't for the shadow clone Xia Li knowing that the original body had traveled through time and space to do Loulan's mission, he would probably have thought that the original body was dead...

Fortunately, the current shadow clone is a spiritual shadow clone rather than an ordinary shadow clone. If it was just an ordinary shadow clone, then the shadow clone Xia Li should have been forced to be released by now.

Because the spiritual shadow clone has Xia Li's secondary soul here, it can freely mobilize the natural energy around it to supplement the shadow clone's chakra, and it is not short of spiritual energy.

"Did you feel the mark of Flying Thunder God in that space?" Shadow clone Xia Li was also thinking at this time, at what point in time his original body would run to.

What is certain is that the time point that the original body went to should not be the past of this world.

Even if it is the past, it is a past that does not leave any trace of the original body, but such a point in time... does it really exist?

After all, having the Flying Thunder God mark means that even if one cannot go to the period of the Fourth Hokage, one must at least be in the period after the Second Hokage created Flying Thunder God.

Was there anyone in that period who had the power to stop me from leaving any traces?

There shouldn't be any, so...

In other words, the original body did not go back to the past.

Shadow clone Xia Li also nodded at this time. No wonder he couldn't detect any traces of himself in the past in this world. Was this the reason?

But where else can we go except the past? The future? It's unlikely...

At this time, the shadow clone Xia Li looked at Nara Shikaku and said, "Shikaku, you will take over all the tasks of the Hokage for the time being. I need to retreat for a while."

"Huh?" This time, Nara Shikaku was completely stunned.

Soon, Xia Li wrote an order, signed and stamped it, and stuffed it directly into Nara Shikaku's hand before Nara Shikaku could react. Xia Li also disappeared directly in the Hokage's office.

Only Nara Shikaku was left standing there blankly.

At this time, Nara Shikaku looked at his seal representing the Hokage and the document left by Xia Li, and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Thanks to Xia Li's generosity, he temporarily transferred all the power of Hokage to him...

However, thinking of Xia Li's strength, Nara Shikaku nodded. Knowing their strength, he would not dare to rebel even if he was given the courage.

However, although the position of Hokage has been reduced after the reform, it is still not small. The key is that Nara Shikaku has no assistant...

After thinking for a while, Nara Shikaku's eyes lit up. He decided to call Shikamaru over. It was only a matter of time anyway. Nara Shikaku had heard before that Xia Li wanted Shikamaru to be his secretary as well.

However, at that time, Nara Shikamaru was still young, so Nara Shikaku helped to refuse.

Now, it's almost suitable.

The shadow clone Xia Li also used Flying Thunder God to come to Loulan, found a suitable place to sit cross-legged, and wanted to establish contact with the original body at the nearest place.

However, to the disappointment of the shadow clone Xia Li, even so, he still could not sense any trace of the original body.

Shadow clone Xia Li took a deep breath and was not in a hurry. He still maintained his perception to the maximum.

At this time, Xia Li opened his eyes, looked at the Moon Elf who had suddenly followed him, and said, "You don't have to come with me, just go home and wait."

The Moon Elf shook her head, then her figure moved directly to the shoulder of her shadow clone Xia Li and lay there.

Shadow clone Xia Li shook his head and didn't care too much. If anyone wanted to stay here, then let them stay here. Anyway, the Moon Elves would not be short of food.

However, the next moment, the shadow clone Xia Li's body paused, because he seemed to vaguely sense the original body. Although he could not connect with it as before, he could sense it.

But why can I suddenly sense it?

The shadow clone Xia Li opened his eyes and took a look at the Moon Elf. At this time, he also thought of the peculiarity of the Moon Elf, and the Otsutsuki clan's treasure, the Plow, which can take people through time, but they are afraid of it like a tiger.

So, is it because of the moon elves?

The shadow clone Xia Li then repeated the experiment several times, and finally confirmed that he was able to sense the original body's location, indeed with the help of the moon elf.

"So, what kind of existence are you?" Shadow clone Xia Li couldn't help but ask again while holding the Moon Elf.

The Moon Elf just rubbed the palm of Shadow Clone Xia Li, and then looked at Shadow Clone Xia Li with a little curiosity, as if she was very confused about Xia Li's question.

'Am I not your creation?'

The shadow clone Xia Li felt what the moon elf meant, but couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although it was true on the surface, how could he have created such a magical creature?

Not only does he possess the ability of time and space, but he can also help him perceive his true self that travels through time...

However, the shadow clone Xia Li also knew that it was unrealistic to ask the Moon Elf to answer, so he could only bury this matter deep in his heart once again.

However, since the key condition is the moon elves, there is no need to stay in Loulan any longer.

The next moment, the shadow clone Xia Li arrived at the Wet Bone Forest and sat down cross-legged as usual. In the past, Xia Li was practicing, but this time he just wanted to grasp that feeling.

This time's perception of traveling through time gave Xia Li the clearest perception of time and space ever.

Xia Li felt that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

…………

The light in front of Xia Li's eyes had disappeared, and at this moment he slowly opened his eyes.

Xia Li saw the special Flying Thunder God Kunai of the Fourth Hokage hanging in front of him. It was indeed the Flying Thunder God mark of the Fourth Hokage.

At this moment, there was suddenly a shout, but the voice was so weak, but at the same time it also made Xia Li feel a little familiar.

Xia Li couldn't help but look back, and his pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw a woman with long chili-red hair holding a kunai in both hands, looking at him warily.

"Uzumaki...Kushina?!!" Xia Li murmured. He never thought that he would end up in Uzumaki Kushina's house.

And it seems that Kushina is in a very bad condition now. Although her legs are standing there, they are shaking all the time, as if she will fall to the ground at the next moment.

Kushina's body was also extremely messy at this time, as if she had been attacked by someone.

While Xia Li was looking at Kushina, he also saw the baby behind Kushina...

That is... Uzumaki Naruto, so this is the time point!

Kushina also heard Xia Li's murmurs and became more alert. Since the other party knew her name, it proved that he was well prepared.

But how did the other party appear? It was as if he appeared out of thin air...

Is it space-time ninjutsu?

Kushina thought hard and said, "Are you in the same group with that guy!?"

Kushina wanted to delay some time at this time, and kept calling her husband's name in her heart, wanting Minato Namikaze to come quickly, but Kushina also understood.

I'm afraid that Minato Namikaze won't be able to get here in a short time, because the Nine-Tailed Fox is not so easy to deal with, so... can she only rely on herself?

But why? Wasn't the other party's goal the Nine-Tails? Now that the Nine-Tails had been pulled out of her body, why did they still go after her and little Naruto!

"Which guy are you talking about?" Xia Li asked knowingly.

"Since you are not in the same group with him, why are you here?" Kushina didn't believe what Xia Li said, but she was relieved at this time. The other party had no intention of taking action, and she felt that she should be able to delay for a while.

"Well, if I say I'm lost, would you believe me?" After thinking for a while, Xia Li quickly figured out his current situation. Isn't it just that he was lost?

It's just that others were simply lost, but he was lost in time and space...

Suddenly, Kushina was a little silent and didn't react for a while.

"So, can I ask where this place is?" Xia Li asked.

Kushina didn't know whether the other party was pretending or not. Probably, but this was also a good thing for her. She answered without letting her guard down.

"This is the Hidden Leaf Village, the home of the Fourth Hokage, and you shouldn't be here even if you are lost!"

"Konoha Village, the home of the Fourth Hokage. So you are the Fourth Hokage's wife, and this baby is the Fourth Hokage's son? It seems something went wrong. The Fourth Hokage's wife was injured like this. It looks like she won't live long." Xia Li said casually, then took a step forward and picked up little Naruto.

Kushina opened her eyes wide, turned around and looked at Xia Li who had appeared behind her and picked up little Naruto, and shouted.

"Let him go!"

At this time, little Naruto was also awakened by the noise and started crying.

Xia Li had a headache recalling the memory of taking care of the baby. He patted little Naruto's body, looked at Kushina on the side and said, "I just hugged you because you are cute, and I want to kill you now. Can anyone stop me?"

Kushina was stunned, thinking of the other party's speed that she could not react to at all, and fell silent. Indeed, the other party was telling the truth. In her current state, she could not stop Xia Li at all.

Therefore, Kushina felt at this time that the other party might not really be a companion of the black-clothed and masked man.

However, it seemed like the other party was lost, which made Kushina unable to believe it.

"Very cute." Soon, Xia Li also soothed little Naruto to sleep again.

"So, what is your purpose?" Kushina couldn't help but ask at this time. Although she felt that the other party did not seem like that guy's companion, Kushina couldn't believe a stranger who suddenly appeared.

"Purpose? There is no purpose for now." Xia Li was also thinking, because he was not sure what he was going to do at this moment.

Because according to his personality, since he has come to this point in time, he will definitely change something, and even Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki do not need to die.

But this would be a huge change for him, and the future would never be like that.

So why?

Xia Li was thinking, and then the images of young Sasuke and Boruto suddenly appeared in his mind. Maybe this world... is not his own world?

Xia Li thought about it and closed his eyes. He emitted his perception, trying to get in touch with his spiritual shadow clone, but... he failed. Could it be possible to cut off the connection between the main soul and the secondary soul?

But there is also this possibility. The young Sasuke and Boruto seemed to have changed because of the battle with Otsutsuki Urashiki when they traveled through time.
