Chapter 523: The World of a New Era

"The Otsutsuki clan's divine artifact?"

Kimimaro frowned. Although he didn't know exactly what Lord Sasuke was referring to, if it could effortlessly lead them to the Otsutsuki, then it must be something that could transport them directly to the location of a specific Otsutsuki member.

What could it be?

"This object possesses a very special ability," Sasuke explained. "It can allow one to travel through time!"

Travel through... time!

As these four words were spoken, both Kimimaro and Jūgo were stunned.

Could such a thing truly exist in this world?

Traveling through time.

That would mean they could go back to the time when the Otsutsuki clan first appeared and directly confront them in the ninja world.

So that's why Lord Sasuke decisively declined Naruto's invitation. If such an artifact existed, any delay would be a waste of time for Sasuke.

But if it's a divine artifact of the Otsutsuki clan, shouldn't it be in the ninja world? It should be in some forbidden place within the Otsutsuki clan's territory.

If that's the case, then why not let the Otsutsuki clan know they're after it? That way, they could lure the Otsutsuki clan to them.

"Lord Sasuke, let's act quickly! Let's steal this so-called divine artifact of the Otsutsuki clan!"

Steal?

Sasuke smiled. "No need. I've already brought it with me."

As he spoke, Sasuke took out a scroll. With a puff of white smoke, the Otsutsuki clan's divine artifact, the Plow, appeared.

At the first glance of this object, Kimimaro couldn't help but doubt. Was this really the divine artifact of the Otsutsuki clan? It looked just like an ordinary plow.

But if Lord Sasuke said it was, then it must be.

However, why would Lord Sasuke have the Otsutsuki clan's divine artifact? Had he already been to some forbidden place of the Otsutsuki clan?

"No need to guess. This thing was already in the ninja world," Sasuke explained. "It seems to have been brought here by Kaguya."

By Kaguya?

Kimimaro nodded. If that was the case, then it made sense. If it was in the ninja world, it wasn't surprising that Lord Sasuke had found it.

But now, Sasuke was pondering another question.

If this artifact wasn't brought by Kaguya, then who brought it? And if Kaguya did bring it, why didn't she use it herself? Didn't she have anything she wanted to change? Wasn't she worried about the Otsutsuki clan's invasion? She could have used this artifact to determine exactly when the Otsutsuki would appear, allowing her to better prepare.

Moreover, why would Kaguya bring such an important artifact to the ninja world?

These were questions that Sasuke would have to figure out step by step.

"Lord Sasuke, should we use this artifact now?" Kimimaro asked.

Sasuke nodded.

The Plow could only be used by members of the Otsutsuki clan. But for the three of them present, they all qualified as Otsutsuki members, as they had all fused with Otsutsuki blood. Although they hadn't taken on the appearance of the Otsutsuki, they undoubtedly possessed their power.

Whether it was Sasuke, Kimimaro, or Jūgo, they could all easily control the Plow.

Sasuke activated the Plow.

Immediately, a time portal appeared, sucking Sasuke and the others into it.

In an instant, they were traveling through the time channel.

Jūgo couldn't help but marvel, "This is amazing! There really is something that can freely travel through time!"

Hearing this, Sasuke smiled. "This world might be more incredible than you imagine."

Jūgo nodded. "If only I could master such power too!"

Suddenly, Sasuke was struck by a thought.

Master this power?

Wait!

Yes!

His Divine Spirit might also...

At this thought, Sasuke became excited again. To control time, to freely travel through the river of time who wouldn't desire such an ability?

Moreover, if one could be called a god, it would be someone with such power.

Sasuke could easily strip away bloodline limits and even bloodline powers from others. Couldn't he also strip away the Plow's time-manipulating ability?

In fact, Jūgo's reminder had sparked many ideas in Sasuke's mind.

Hidan's immortality he could strip that away and integrate it into himself. Immortality, combined with rapid regeneration and the ability to freely travel through time that would truly make him an invincible god!

Although it was still a distance from his ultimate goal of becoming an omnipotent god, being an invincible god was also a target Sasuke was striving for.

Perhaps he should turn back time and find Hidan to take his immortality.

But the time travel had already begun, so there was no need to rush.

Sasuke was also curious about what the world of the new era would be like. After all, the current world had been completely transformed by his influence. He wondered what the future world would look like.

As the time channel dissipated, Sasuke and the others appeared on a mountain peak.

Breathing in the fresh air that greeted them, Sasuke felt a sense of comfort. Although their Otsutsuki bloodline allowed them to survive without air, being able to breathe it in was still more pleasant.

"Have we... really traveled through time?" Kimimaro asked uncertainly.

Sasuke smiled and nodded. "Yes. Welcome to the world of the new era."

The new era?

Kimimaro was momentarily confused. The surroundings were just forests, seemingly no different from the ninja world they knew.

For now, Sasuke paid no further attention to the two. Instead, he focused intently on the Otsutsuki clan's divine artifact, the Plow.

'Travel through time!'

Greed flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

He raised his hand and activated Divine Spirit. Whether it was a person or an object, Divine Spirit could be used on it.

But as Divine Spirit touched the Plow, a barrier formed by time appeared, like an insurmountable chasm, blocking Sasuke's Divine Spirit.

It wasn't that Divine Spirit didn't work it was as if Divine Spirit could never cross the river of time to touch the core of the Plow's power.

Without touching it, he couldn't strip it away. Without stripping it away, he couldn't integrate and master it.

Sasuke frowned, his earlier joy dampened.

'Indeed... mastering time isn't so easy.'

But what if there was a way to break through the time barrier?

The only method Sasuke could think of to break through the time barrier was to use time against time.

If he could also master a time-based ability, would he then be able to break through the Plow's time barrier?

With this thought, an idea formed in Sasuke's mind.

There was someone in this new era who had mastered time a man known as the disgrace of the Otsutsuki clan, who possessed the strongest ability but was easily defeated.
