"Parallel World Seiki?" Asuma couldn't help but ask, "Why would you think that?"
"Actually, it was your mention that the Parallel World lacks Senior Seiki that gave me the inspiration!" Obito explained seriously. "Think about it—our world has Senior Seiki but not Aizen, while the Parallel World has Aizen but no Senior Seiki... Doesn't that feel off?"
"Now that you mention it, that actually makes sense!" Asuma slapped his thigh. "Although it's possible that Seiki in the Parallel World died young due to minor changes, it's strange that the strongest figures in both the Parallel World and our world only appear in one timeline!"
Mizuki frowned, "He's clearly extremely powerful, yet he refuses to fight Seiki. Could it be he's afraid of exposing his identity?"
"Exactly!" Obito continued analyzing. "Let's compare further. His genjutsu is terrifyingly strong, just like Senior Seiki's. Seiki's medical ninjutsu is incredible—he once brought Yahiko back from the edge of death. Seiki's taijutsu is mighty, and his swordsmanship is incredibly refined. Except for Sage Art and Elemental Techniques, he's too similar to Senior Seiki. He's practically an Omnipotent monster!"
By now, everyone was nearly convinced by Obito's reasoning.
Reaching the peak in one area is already the limit for ordinary people. Someone nearly Omnipotent in every aspect—like them—was hardly seen once every thousand years!
By this comparison, Aizen's resemblance to Seiki was just too strong!
Guy admired, "Obito, you're brilliant! To analyze it this far!"
"Haha, this is the wisdom of a true puppet master!" Obito laughed proudly with his hands on his waist. "After all, I used to be a big villain, so naturally, my intelligence surpasses yours!"
Seiki watched quietly nearby, thinking, "Good thing I've already captured Black Zetsu. To anyone who doesn't know better, Obito acting like a puppet master might seem intelligent! Black Zetsu would definitely notice something off!"
Clearly, this sudden spike in Obito's intellect was the result of prior mental manipulation.
Yet Obito himself didn't realize it, believing it was just a burst of inspiration.
After his moment of pride, Obito turned serious. "Senior, you understand now, right? This isn't just a trap—it might also be a trap set by your own dark side. The horror level is definitely apocalyptic-level!"
All nodded in agreement. How terrifying a dark Seiki would be—they didn't even dare imagine!
After a moment of silence, Seiki finally spoke. "You're right, I indeed shouldn't take risks. However, if it's truly my counterpart from the Parallel World committing evil, I definitely can't ignore it either!"
"Senior, you…"
"Just hear me out first. If Aizen really is my counterpart from the Parallel World, do you think he'd just give up? Based on my own understanding, if I don't show up in that world, everything will definitely spin out of control! Therefore, my plan is to send a clone first to stabilize the situation."
"A clone?" they all exclaimed.
"Although it's only a clone, with my strength, as long as it doesn't encounter Aizen himself, there shouldn't be much of a problem!"
Seiki explained.
Obito raised his brow, "Is it really okay for the main body and clone to exist in two worlds with different time flows? Won't there be delays?"
Seiki's expression turned serious, "This is indeed a troublesome issue, but I'll strive to overcome it!"
Actually, rather than overcoming a difficulty, this was more like a special environment he had deliberately prepared for himself.
Ever since he discovered that Itachi Uchiha had awakened a time-space Dojutsu, he'd been worrying about this.
Rinnegan was an evolved form of Mangekyo Sharingan. Since the Mangekyo could awaken time-space Dojutsu, of course someone among the Otsutsuki clan might also awaken time-space Dojutsu!
There was no need to elaborate on the power of time-space Dojutsu. Without corresponding abilities, encountering enemies with this type of Dojutsu would be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, separating his main body and clone into two different spaces and times, experiencing the differences in time-space flow, and developing time-space Ninjutsu became one of his primary reasons for going to the Parallel World!
"Let me go with you!" Mizuki suddenly said.
"With my clone?" Seiki frowned.
"For one thing, I can take action in your place to prevent Aizen from suspecting anything. For another, that world's version of me is already dead, so if I go along, it will help that world's leadership believe our identities!" Mizuki explained methodically.
Guy scratched his head, "But we know people there, right? We can have our Jonin comrades vouch for us!"
Mizuki calmly shook his head, "Never mind whether those four are still alive or not, just looking at their performance back then, they clearly didn't look like high-level Konoha officials. So how much credibility would their words carry?"
They all nodded. It did make sense — if a couple of Genin and Chunin ninja suddenly showed up claiming to be heroes who saved the world, they wouldn't be believed anyway!
Thinking about this, Asuma eagerly said, "Then I'll go too! My other self in that world is already dead anyway!"
Guy slumped, "Aw, why didn't my other self die... Hmm, thinking like this somehow feels wrong!"
Mizuki gave someone a contemptuous look, "People without self-defense abilities really shouldn't go along!"
Asuma angrily said, "Do you think you're that much stronger than me?"
Mizuki sneered, "I have Yin Release and Steel Release. My survival capabilities are definitely superior to yours!"
Asuma immediately looked depressed — he really couldn't refute that comment.
Seiki made the final decision, "Then it's settled. Mizuki will go to the Parallel World with my clone!"
Since Seiki had already made his decision, no one voiced further objections — after all, his main body was still here!
...
Returning home, Seiki took out the Truth-Seeking Balls gifted by Hagoromo and began the summoning ritual.
In the next moment, Hagoromo's projection appeared in the room, looking rather helpless.
He had told Seiki to contact him if needed, but only a few days had passed since then, and he had just fallen asleep!
Seiki apologized, "Lord Hagoromo, I'm sorry to summon you so quickly."
Hagoromo wasn't the petty type, and his grogginess from just waking up quickly dissipated, "No need to worry about it."
Seiki told them that Aizen had gone to a Parallel World and that he planned to follow him there.
"It's very likely he comes from a Parallel World," said Hagoromo, not surprised at all since he had the same suspicion earlier.
"I intend to contact you from that Parallel World. Do you have any way to help convince the Hagoromo in that world to trust me?"
Seiki then added, "Since my original body remains in this world, I can't bring a Truth-Seeking Ball with me, considering its safety."
"You still want a Truth-Seeking Ball?" Seeing Seiki's sincere look, Hagoromo hesitated slightly, then reluctantly handed him one of the balls from his possession. "Take this one. Once the me from that Parallel World sees it, he will surely understand who you are!"
He didn't have much power left—Even a landlord has no grain to spare!
Successfully taking another ball from Hagoromo, Seiki felt quite satisfied. "Thank you, Lord Hagoromo! I will definitely contact you in that world. Their Parallel World is ahead of ours in time. They might have already found a way to deal with the Otsutsuki!"
Hagoromo's eyes lit up. Indeed, getting advice from his other selves was a smart idea.
Thinking about this, he no longer felt so reluctant. "I appreciate your efforts!"
