The torches in the underground cave were lit.

Kakashi and I stood on the edge of the cliff in the cave, looking at this mysterious place together.

This is a huge arched cave, with a huge bottomless pit in the center, and gusts of wind blow from below.

In the center of the pit stands a stone pillar, and at the top of the stone pillar is an altar with a complex seal array drawn on it, and a three-leaf shaped kunai is inserted in the center of the seal array.

"That's the seal of the fourth generation?" Itachi, the youngest, looked at the seal, and then at the stone bridge connecting the place where we stood and the altar, and asked.

"It should be like this. So here should be the sealed dragon vein..." Zhishui probe glanced at the bottom of the pothole, and said with some emotion, "Wow, it's pitch black, at least a few hundred meters deep?"

"It is said to be thousands of meters deep."

I withdrew my eyes from observing the situation, and replied with a smile, "Now, the legendary Infinite Chakra with magical power is sleeping under our feet, isn't it amazing?"

"Magic power?" Itachi tilted his head expressionlessly, with an inexplicable sense of cuteness.

I couldn't help but rubbed his soft hair: "That's right. I've read the letters left by Grandpa Erzeng—that is, Master II Hokage Tokaima-sama, in which it was occasionally mentioned that dragon veins possess the mysterious power of time and space. Connecting the future with the past."

"Connecting the future and the past?" Itachi slightly opened his eyes, "Is this kind of thing possible?"

"Well, those are my most rigorous and knowledgeable Grandpa Zeng's notes. Since he wrote it like this, it must be correct, right?"

I stroked my chin thoughtfully, and suddenly heard a faint voice after finishing speaking: "Are you peeking at Master Nidaimu's forbidden book again?"

I froze all over, turned my head and met Kakashi's dead fish eyes: "...listen to my explanation."

Kakashi said indifferently: "I want to tell your mother——"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It was written by Grandpa Zeng himself, since he can write it, why can't I read it?!"

"Go and ask the first generation samurai about this kind of thing! I am not forbidden by the second generation sama's notes and ninjutsu!" Kakashi was disturbed by me, and he couldn't bear it and gave me a shudder.

I groaned in pain, covered my head and began to mutter in dissatisfaction: "My great-grandfather has been proved by various means to be a madman, who knows what he thinks. This kind of ninjutsu research is still It’s more reliable to ask Grandpa Zeng…”

Kakashi has passed me and directed the two little Uchihas to check the surroundings. Hearing this, he didn't even look at me, and directly started the usual perfunctory method: "Yeah, yes, then you can ask the second generation. .”

...Damn it, this indifferent guy!

I curled my lips in dissatisfaction, and was about to argue with him again, when my nerves that had been secretly tense suddenly caught something wrong.

That is--! !

"—Back quickly!!"

"Boom--!"

The young man's stern shouts rang out together with the sudden explosion.

That moment was too fast, Uchiha Itachi, who was curiously observing the seal by the altar, only felt a purple light flash in front of his eyes, and the next moment his waist was tightly strangled by something like a rope.

It was Senju Eiji's vine.

He flew upside down, a huge amount of heat came straight towards his face, and almost exploded in front of him.

Uchiha Itachi just had time to protect his head with his arms when his weightless body slammed into the net made of vines.The blue-haired youth and Hatake Kakashi, who sensed the danger for the first time, stood in front of him and Uchiha Shisui respectively, with their backs to him, raised their hands and slowly pulled out the sword on their backs.

"Stand up, Itachi."

He no longer said calmly with a smiling voice.

——The air becomes cold and chilling while breathing.

Uchiha Itachi quickly got up without saying a word, held Kunai in his hand and showed his already double-twist Sharingan, and stood behind the two jounin in tacit understanding with Uchiha Shisui.

They stared at the altar filled with smoke and dust, and the suspicious figure who was looming in the altar.

"Whoever you are, get out of there now."

Senju Eiji spoke first.

His expression was condensed, and his expressionless appearance made it impossible to see any flaws, so Uchiha Itachi didn't know if he was the same as himself, and he was also thinking about the cause of the explosion and the ninja method used by that suspicious person. .

Because——it was too sudden.

Even a ninja like him who is still young and seriously inexperienced knows the importance of first checking whether the surroundings are safe after coming to a strange place.He had checked the cave as carefully as possible before, and confirmed that there was no trace of other creatures except for the four Konoha ninjas.

Senju Eiji, who is stronger and more experienced than him, and is still a sentient ninja, has undoubtedly come to this conclusion, otherwise he would not have been talking and laughing with Hatake Kakashi like that, childishly like a ninja on an outing school students.

So—where did this enemy come from?

Uchiha Itachi stared vigilantly at the man in the smoke, thinking seriously.

How did he avoid Senju Eiji's perception, sneak to the altar where the four of them were most focused, and then launch such a big explosion?

Also, what was the purple light he saw before the explosion started?

Before the young man who had thought carefully at such a young age could figure out why, the man who had been standing quietly on the altar moved.

Through the misty smoke, Itachi saw him raising his hand and waving the surrounding dust, slowly revealing his white hair and a pair of sharp, narrow bright red eyes.

……Um?

Um--? !

Itachi Uchiha opened his eyes wide, reflexively looking at Eiji Senju.

"I'm sorry." At this moment, the man who seemed to be in his 20s at most opened his mouth, and the first sentence was an unexpected apology.

His eyes turned around the four people and then firmly stopped on Senju Eiji. His voice was cold and magnetic, and his tone was as strict as his expression, but it didn't make people feel hostile or bad. Approaching, "He came in a bit of a hurry, causing an unplanned explosion. No one was hurt?"

"..."

No one answered.

The four Konoha ninjas stared at him in surprise or dully, all suspecting that there was something wrong with their eyes.

Because, the man who appeared in front of them at this moment, he is undoubtedly——

"Second great grandfather—?!"

Senju Eiji, who had been dazed for a while, finally came back to his senses, and yelled in disbelief.

That's right!Isn't this man just the rumored foul sea escape ninja, ninjutsu research maniac, the second generation Hokage with an inhumane super fierce handsome face who has appeared in countless places such as Hokage Rock, textbooks, honor wall, etc., Chien Teeiji's second great-grandfather, Senshou Feijian? !

Even the three red marks on his face are so lifelike!Lifelike!

However, Konoha's second-generation Hokage has been dead for many years, so how could it appear in a desert cave far away from Konoha? !Still at such a young age? !

Hatake Kakashi was the first to notice something was wrong, frowning, he gave Senju Eiji an elbow, and stared suspiciously at the man who was suddenly silenced by the "Second Zengpa": "No, he will never Maybe it's the Second Generation Lord!"

"I know this too!"

Senju Eiji, who was extremely reliable just now, panicked a lot at this moment, his eyes looked up and down the man repeatedly, his expression of surprise was enough to let people see his self-doubt.

"But, but his chakra is indeed very powerful, and it is undoubtedly the water system... Eh? Why does his chakra feel so similar to my mother's? It's over Kakashi—"

The young man grabbed Fa Xiao's wrist, and under his startled gaze, he showed a thunderous expression, and shouted in disbelief: "I know my mother was very bold and unrestrained before she met my father, but suddenly told me I have an older brother, this kind of thing is too much no matter what - oops!!"

"You give me enough time!!"

Hatake Kakashi, who felt bad the moment he was caught, couldn't bear it anymore and gave him a punch, pulled his collar and said in a dark and sinister way: "In a word, is this person the Second Daime-sama, or not?" ?!"

Senju Eiji, who was punched by the bang, did not dare to move, and his voice became weaker: "This, this, judging from the Chakra reaction, it really looks like the Senju clan..."

"Yes or no!!"

"...Yes, right QAQ."

Uchiha Shisui & Itachi: "..."

Qian Shou Feijian looked at the inexplicable farce in front of him, and sighed silently in his heart.

Grandpa Zeng...?

No wonder.

He lowered his eyes to cover the expression in his eyes, and after a long while, he let out a low, barely audible laugh.

"You guy, you really haven't changed since [Future]."

He said something as if he was talking to himself, but this whisper was immediately noticed by Senju Eiji.He covered his head that had been knocked by Kakashi, and turned his head while maintaining a very unreliable funny posture, revealing a pair of deep blue eyes.

"That, Second Zengpa?" He called out tentatively, "You are Konoha's Second Hokage, Senshoubanjian, right?"

"I am indeed Qianshou Feijian." Feijian nodded coldly.

Senju Eiji immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a hearty smile: "It's the first time we met, I am Senju Eiji, and my mother's name is Tsunade! It's your great-grandson—"

"But I'm not the Second Hokage."

The eyebrows between his eyebrows moved imperceptibly, and he interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

Senju Eiji's smile froze on his face: "Huh?"

Seeing that he and the ninjas around him were a little confused, Qianshou lowered his eyes and let out a silent breath.

"That's all." He ended the topic somewhat abruptly, and finally raised his eyes to look at Eiji Senju, with a rather meaningful tone, "I have nothing to say to you right now."

"Huh?" Senju Eiji uttered a single sound in confusion, "What is that...meaning..."

His voice of doubt gradually lowered, his eyes gradually opened wide, and his deep blue pupils reflected a man who walked slowly to the altar, suspected of wanting to do something about Namikaze Minato's sealing technique.

"Master Feijian?"

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or he was keenly aware of something from the round of conversation just now. He chose a more formal and unfamiliar address, and lowered his body's center of gravity. Looks like he can rush over at any time, "What are you going to do?"

Thousand Hands, who was looking at the sealing technique, glanced at him.

He looked at the blue eyes of the young man who seemed to have known him before, and there was a dark color in the magnificent red eyes. After a long time, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a light that could dissipate in the air at any time. smile.

"You'll know soon...【Eiji Hagoromo】."

Yuromo...Eiji?

Senju Eiji was taken aback.

At this moment, Senju made a few seals with lightning speed, and then pressed on Namikaze Minato's sealing technique, and pulled out Kunai under the unbelievable gaze of everyone, and in one fell swoop Unlock the seal!

"What—" Kakashi Hatake's eyes widened in shock.

The air froze for a second, and then, a huge roar came from under the feet, and a beam of purple-white strong light shot straight into the sky with the sealing array as the center, and the powerful and terrifying infinite chakra erupted from the ground like a volcanic eruption. Come out, they will be engulfed in sight!

At that moment, Hatake Kakashi saw Senju Eiji in front of him turning his head abruptly, ignoring the two teenagers beside him, his pupils like the deep sea were directly reflected in him, and he stretched out his hand and stretched his five fingers vigorously towards him.

Hatake Kakashi thought he was trying to grab him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand.

next moment.

"Run -!"

The roar of the youth was drowned out by the huge roar.

Hatake Kakashi was violently pushed into the pothole by Eiji Senju, and then, his ankle was entangled by the vines that grew a step slower, and he was thrown towards the upper exit!

When he woke up for the last time, what he saw was Senju Eiji, who was getting farther and farther away, staring at him, being completely swallowed up by the purple chakra.

Hatake Kakashi woke up from the nightmare with difficulty.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his trembling pupils were full of panic, and sat up sweating profusely: "Eiji——!!"

No one answered him.

A few steps away was the scorching desert, and he lay in the shadows under the huge rock formations, next to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

They were all still in a coma, and only his gasping in shock echoed in the small, cool space.

"--you're awake."

A deep voice came from behind.

Hatake Kakashi's pupils shrank, and then almost in the blink of an eye, he turned over and jumped up, holding Kunai across the man's neck. One of the pupils of different colors was black and cold, and the other was scarlet and dangerous: " Who are you? Why did you break the seal of the dragon vein? Where is Senju Eiji?!"

The white-haired man sat on a rock, even though he was pointed at by Kunai, he didn't show any special expression, he just glanced to the side.

Kakashi followed his line of sight, and suddenly saw Eiji who had been swallowed by Dragon Vein Chakra.

He lay quietly on a flat rock, with an inexplicably familiar fur collar under his head, and seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

The silver-haired young man was startled, then called out "Ying Er" in an unsteady tone, and rushed towards that side with some staggering.

Qianshoubei retracted his gaze, glanced up and down the other Kakashi who was still staring at him, and finally showed an interested expression: "Thunder Dungeon body? Boy, the speed of your seal formation is really fast. Pretty fast."

His gaze then shifted to the young man's left eye, and he slightly narrowed his sharp red eyes, "However, what's going on with that Sharingan?"

The avatar Kakashi looked at him with a dead face, without any intention of answering the question: "You can't be the Second Hokage."

Hearing the words in Qianshou's door, his indifferent expression remained unchanged: "I really am not yet."

The word "return" is very clever.

The avatar Kakashi observed him without any trace, before he had time to say anything, his main body came back again, and asked Tobima with a cold face, "What did you do to him?"

Qian Shou Fei Jian said with a blank expression, "I didn't do anything."

"Then why can't I wake him up?" Kakashi Hatake's face darkened, "He didn't have any trauma on his body, nor did he have the slightest trace of poisoning. You must have done something to become like this!"

There was a moment of silence between Senju and Eiji, and he turned his head to look at Senju Eiji's peaceful sleeping face.

He stared at him seriously as if he was meeting a young man for the first time. At a certain moment, he didn't know if it was Kakashi's illusion. with mildness.

But this almost soft expression was only fleeting, and the man immediately returned to his calm and calm appearance, folded his hands on his chest, and said calmly and firmly:

"I really didn't do anything. The man is unconscious because his soul is no longer in his body."

"...What did you say?" Kakashi Hatake showed doubts about his brain.

Qianshou Feijian had already expected the reaction he would get from his words, so he didn't care at the moment, but continued vigorously:

"Now is not the time to explain. Listen carefully, boy, if you don't get this guy's soul back as soon as possible, his body will weaken in a very short period of time until breathing stops, and the body, body and soul are synchronized die."

Hatake Kakashi frowned, and just about to refute him, he suddenly remembered the seemingly unreliable prophecy of the old monk last night.

Thinking about it now, the old monk's prophecy and the man in front of him, who is suspected to be the Second Hokage, have essentially the same meaning.

Is it a lie? ...Is it necessary to go around in such a big circle, even chasing them into the desert, just to make them believe a lie about the soul?

Speaking of which, Eiji's reaction last night was also very strange, and he is indeed in a coma for unknown reasons.

And just now Eiji himself said that this man's Chakra reaction is the same as that of the Thousand Hands...

Hatake Kakashi tried his best to sort out the messy brain. After a long time, he opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice: "You...you, are you really the Thousand Hands?"

Qian Shou Fanjian glanced at him: "I am."

Kakashi tilted his head to look at Eiji, and after a few seconds, he asked in a low voice: "Did the impact of the dragon's veins make his soul leave the body?"

... This kid actually grasped the key so quickly.

Thinking of the scene when the seal was released just now, the blue-haired youth immediately turned around to protect the other party, Qianshou's eyes flickered, but his mouth replied in a deep voice: "Yes."

"But the seal was clearly lifted by you."

Kakashi immediately raised the biggest doubt, and turned back to stare at him closely with scarlet Sharingan, "If you hadn't appeared suddenly, he would have been fine."

"...Because he has something to do."

Qianshou was silent for a while before answering like this.

"What's more, if I don't come to this time and space to help him find his soul—"

The white-haired man trembled slightly with his hands on his knees, suppressed all his emotions with his downcast eyes, and said almost indifferently: "...Even if the main soul is fine, he will die one day because of the incompleteness of his soul. .”

Hatake Kakashi's heart constricted because of the word "death".

His face was a little pale when he was exposed outside, but other than that, he didn't show any reaction that revealed his emotions, and he was still observing the Qianshouban with analytical eyes sharply.

After saying that sentence, the white-haired man seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, his crimson eyes were deep and bottomless, and there seemed to be some kind of heavy sadness in the depths of his eyes.

After a long time like this, Hatake Kakashi withdrew his scrutinizing eyes, as if he had made up his mind, he flipped his wrist to take Kunai back, and with the seal, he released the Thunder Dun clone beside him.

"I trust you."

He said this under the unexpected gaze of Qianshouban, raised his eyes and looked at him, and said seriously and calmly——

"Next, please come with me to find an old monk, Master Tokaima."

For the first time, Qianshou Feijian showed a look of surprise.

It took a few seconds for him to come back to his senses. He stared dumbly at the young man in front of him, and suddenly asked, "You... know that person..."

"? You mean Eiji?" The silver-haired young man tilted his head in doubt.

"Ah...yes, that's him." There was a pause between Thousand Hands and a strange silence for a while, and then he asked: "You know that person sometimes...isn't as good to everyone as he showed. Are they all treated equally?"

Hatake Kakashi suddenly fell silent.

He didn't know what he remembered, and it took a long time before he answered softly: "Well... I know."

Qianshou looked at him with complicated eyes: "Even so, is your opinion of him the same as before?"

This time, the silver-haired youth laughed easily.

"Well, yes." He replied with crooked eyebrows and eyes, as if it was a matter of course, a little shy and helpless, and at the same time said so gently: "Because——"

"A man who always carries out his beliefs, isn't he handsome?"
