After deciding to inform the people in the village first, Hui began flashing forward with bursts of light.
He was utilizing his spatial movement ability. On one hand, it was to familiarize himself with using this newfound skill. On the other hand, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Like a child receiving a new toy, he couldn't help but immediately try it out.
Otherwise, considering the current process of locking onto space and folding it, his Flying Thunder God Technique or the direct use of Wind Wings would still be faster.
His body flickered continuously, and before long, Hui returned to the village.
With a single glance, his eyes pierced through multiple obstacles and locked onto Tsunade.
Once again, using his spatial movement ability, he appeared right beside her.
In the office of the Medical Division's chief, Tsunade was reviewing documents when Hui's figure suddenly materialized beside her.
Startled, Tsunade instinctively looked at him with a mix of surprise and confusion.
The confusion came from the fact that, under normal circumstances, Hui would rarely use the Flying Thunder God Technique to suddenly appear by her side.
After all, she was a ninja with high vigilance.
Moreover, Tsunade was a Fifth-Tier Sage, with extremely sharp perception.
Something appearing out of nowhere could easily trigger her reflexive defense mechanisms, which was quite unsettling.
Hui was fully aware of this, which is why he typically avoided surprising her like this.
But this time, his excitement had gotten the better of him.
"What's wrong, Hui? Is there something important?" Tsunade stood up and asked, her tone concerned. Hui's abrupt appearance made her assume something serious had happened.
Seeing Tsunade's reaction, a wave of guilt swept through Hui. Gently, he pulled her into his embrace and whispered softly into her ear, "It's nothing serious. I just acquired a new ability, and I got a little excited."
Hearing his explanation, Tsunade first felt relieved, and then her curiosity was piqued.
"What kind of ability could make you this excited?" she asked, her tone genuinely curious.
Of course, her curiosity was directed at Hui's new ability, not the fact that he had gained one.
After all, the Eight Gates Sage Ascension Technique was specifically designed to drive the evolution of the human body.
Awakening new abilities during the process of evolution was entirely normal.
Even Tsunade, now a Fifth-Tier Sage herself, could sense a power brewing deep within her own body.
"The ability to manipulate space!" Hui couldn't help but smile broadly. He was genuinely thrilled about this power.
"Manipulate... space???"
Tsunade was stunned, her tone a mix of shock and disbelief.
She didn't fully grasp what this ability entailed, but just hearing the name, it sounded immensely powerful.
Seeing her astonishment, Hui couldn't resist leaning forward and planting a kiss on her lips before explaining the details of his ability.
After listening to his explanation, Tsunade was left awestruck by the sheer magnitude of his new power. At the same time, she was sincerely happy for him.
"If you want to test your new ability, then go ahead and give it a try without any worries. The village is stable now, and even if you're gone for a month or two, everything will be fine."
Tsunade reassured him with a smile. "Besides, there's nothing in this world that can threaten you anymore. And knowing you, you'll definitely make it back before the wedding."
Her understanding words made Hui tighten his arms around her.
Being able to marry such a kind, considerate, and goddess-like woman was one of the greatest joys of Hui's life.
"I'll let the others know, then I'll go test this ability," Hui replied, his voice steady yet filled with anticipation. "I have a feeling this skill will bring me unexpected gains."
This premonition was also why Hui was so insistent on testing his spatial traversal ability.
After undergoing three transformations, his body's senses had heightened to an extraordinary level. It was as if he had developed a sixth sense, perhaps even a power to foresee the future!
Hui suspected that after his next transformation, he might directly gain the ability to see into the future.
Of course, this was just speculation.
Ultimately, everything would depend on the will of the heavens (or the author).
"If that's the case, then you should definitely go all out and test this skill," Tsunade encouraged.
She understood how accurate Hui's instincts had become. They were less like guesses and more like prophecies.
"Alright, I'll give it a proper test. I'm curious to see where this skill will teleport me," Hui said with confidence.
With this ability, no matter how far it sent him, what were the odds it could actually teleport him to the moon?
Or perhaps even to another planet?
Highly unlikely.
That's why he wasn't worried. Even if it really did teleport him to the moon, with his power, he could easily return to the Sage World.
With confidence, Hui informed some of the key figures in the village about his temporary departure.
To ensure everything remained stable during his absence, Hui specifically sought out Madara and requested that he remain vigilant, particularly against any moves from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Even if Ōtsutsuki Isshiki did attempt something, Hui wasn't too concerned.
Given Madara's current abilities, even if he couldn't defeat Isshiki outright, he could at least hold him off for a while. Moreover, with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's support, they could certainly delay any threat until Hui returned.
Besides, after losing an arm during his last scheme, Isshiki was likely still recovering. It was doubtful he could recover so quickly and make a move against Hidden Sage Village.
In fact, Isshiki was more likely considering how to escape this planet, knowing full well that Hui, someone capable of effortlessly killing him, resided here.
After settling all necessary matters, Hui was ready to test his spatial traversal ability.
He made his way to the Senju Clan's residence, nodding at Tsunade from a distance. Then, taking a deep breath, his expression turned serious.
If he was going to give it his all, then it would truly be all-out effort.
With that resolve, Hui gathered the maximum amount of mental energy he could safely use.
"Spatial Traversal!" he said aloud, more for dramatic effect than out of necessity.
In an instant, Hui vanished from where he stood.
Tsunade, watching the now-empty space, simply turned back to her work, fully trusting in Hui's abilities.
After all, who in this world could possibly pose a threat to him?
…
When Hui reappeared, he found himself on a massive island covered in dense forest.
The weather was clear, the sky a vivid blue, and fluffy white clouds drifted lazily above. Sunlight poured down, illuminating the world in radiant light.
It was, without a doubt, a beautiful day.
The sunlight filtered through the forest canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. The trees in this forest were unusual, with some appearing normal in size, while others were massive, their trunks measuring four to six meters in diameter.
Amidst the towering trees, a tall, burly figure leapt swiftly from branch to branch.
The man was enormous, with golden hair and a powerful, imposing presence. He wore a white coat draped over his shoulders and carried a massive blade.
But what stood out the most was his long, crescent-shaped white mustache.
At this moment, his face was filled with excitement and battle lust, his entire body radiating an intense aura of fighting spirit.
His large blade was ready to strike, his target being another man standing calmly on the ground below.
This second man was equally imposing, with jet-black hair and dressed in a dark red coat. In his hand, he held a courtly sword, and his expression mirrored the same excitement and battle-hardened determination.
As he watched the first man descend from the sky like a god or demon, blade poised to strike with terrifying force, a crimson glow flickered in the second man's eyes.
Taking a step forward, his body erupted with a visible, overwhelming aura that sent shockwaves through the surroundings.
Then, he moved to counter, ready to engage in a legendary battle between equals, a duel between men of unparalleled strength!
The two warriors were terrifyingly powerful, their full-force clash creating an atmosphere as vast and profound as an abyss. They seemed like gods and demons locked in the ultimate confrontation.
Even before their blades and swords met, the surrounding space began to tear apart, black cracks spreading across the void.
The distance between them shrank rapidly. The moment of impact was imminent.
But just as their weapons were about to collide, a figure suddenly appeared in the narrow space between them, right at the center of their impending clash!
