CHAPTER 285: GOOD FRIEND UCHIHA MIKOTO

Chapter 284: Good Friend Uchiha Mikoto! Traversing Timelines!

Inside a secluded, eerie cave, a blonde man suddenly opened his eyes.

"One of the King of Time Calamity’s Time Anchors has lost contact? How is that possible?"

The man was utterly bewildered. He had observed this world, and there was no one who could find the Time Anchors. Those were powerful items, seeds bestowed by the King of Time Calamity, capable of solidifying timelines.

He was a Time-Thief, yet he could only rely on his own power to drive the Time Anchors to traverse and solidify timelines. Without a Time Anchor, he couldn’t do such a thing.

His eyebrow twitched. "To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I need to go and check."

The Time-Thief took out his last Time Anchor and began traversing timelines, rushing to where the other anchor had disappeared.

In just the blink of an eye, Kushina and the other three felt their bodies momentarily dislocate and then return to normal.

The scene before them had changed. Tsunade and the others were gone.

"Where is this?" Exusiai curiously looked around.

It felt like an ordinary room, but the interior style was very similar to Kushina’s.

Tokisaki Kurumi had just felt a massive wave of temporal energy pass over her. She could confirm that they had truly traversed time.

That man’s power over time is so strong! It was far beyond anything she could hope to achieve.

The key was that Ren didn’t seem to be here.

"Where is Ren-kun?" she had just asked.

"Ah!!!"

Just then, a woman’s scream broke the silence.

"Pervert! Lecher! Why are you in my bathroom!"

A door in the room flew open. A black-haired woman frantically ran out, her body covered in water droplets and haphazardly wrapped in a bath towel.

Her feet splashed on the floor as she fled the bathroom in horror. But as she came out, she saw four women standing there and immediately became vigilant.

She let go of the bath towel, not caring that it fell. Her black pupils instantly transformed into blood-red, with two alluring tomoe forming within them.

It was the symbol of the Uchiha Clan, the Kekkei Genkai Sharingan.

The young woman’s hands had already begun to form seals when she heard Kushina suddenly exclaim, "Mikoto!"

The woman called Mikoto froze; the voice was familiar. After seeing who it was, she asked in surprise, "Kushina? Why are you at my house? And who are they?"

Only then did Kushina realize this was Uchiha Mikoto, her only good friend.

She quickly explained, "Mikoto, don’t get excited! They are all my friends. Us being at your house is an accident."

"..."

She hesitated. Seeing that none of them made any suspicious movements, Mikoto reluctantly believed Kushina’s words. She withdrew her hands from the seals, but her Sharingan did not disappear, allowing her to constantly observe them.

"I think I can explain."

The voice from behind made Mikoto’s body stiffen again. She had forgotten about the man who had appeared in her bathroom!

He saw everything!

"Don’t get excited."

This method of time travel truly made Ren want to laugh and cry. With a wave of his hand, a white shirt appeared on the naked Uchiha Mikoto.

As for why it was a white shirt, the scoundrel Ren could only say that a beauty fresh from a shower looked best in one.

A waterfall of inky hair cascaded down her back. The white shirt only covered her upper body and was semi-transparent due to the water. Her lower body was still exposed, revealing plump, long legs, white and rosy like a juicy peach. Coupled with her shy posture, she was extraordinarily alluring.

A thin shirt could not conceal her fair, full body, but it gave her a certain sense of security. Her hands pulled down the hem, trying to cover the emptiness below.

She stammered to Kushina, "I believe you’ll explain, but before that... could you let me go put on some clothes first?"

If it were just Kushina and the three women, it would be fine. But there was also a man behind her, a pervert staring at her. This made her completely uncomfortable.

Kushina awkwardly looked at Ren, her eyes filled with a plea for help.

Ren shrugged. "I’m not stopping her. She’s free to do as she pleases."

Hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto swiftly ran into her bedroom and slammed the sliding door shut.

"Ren, you weren’t doing that on purpose, were you?" Exusiai suspiciously wondered if he had intentionally only given Mikoto a shirt.

Ren simply smiled faintly, like a gentleman. "Who knows."

Tokisaki Kurumi silently noted that the powerful man named Ren liked women.

"That person’s eyes are very strange, and her hand gestures... it feels like she’s about to launch some kind of attack," Esdeath commented, her focus different from the others.

"Those eyes are called Sharingan, a power known as a Kekkei Genkai in this world. The hand gestures are for forming seals to release Ninjutsu, a special ability here," Ren gave a simple description.

This piqued Esdeath’s interest. "Kekkei Genkai and Ninjutsu, are they powerful systems of strength?"

Ren shook his head. "They are nothing to me. But for you right now, you might not be a match for the most powerful force in this world."

"That’s truly something to look forward to," Esdeath licked the corner of her mouth, a little excited.

Splash!

"Kushina, why have you brought these people to my house?" Uchiha Mikoto walked out of her bedroom, dressed in black casual clothes.

Just as Kushina was about to explain, Ren walked over. "Don’t rush to explain. The main matter is more important."

"Main matter?" Uchiha Mikoto questioned. A group of people suddenly appearing in her house in the middle of the night... she seriously suspected their intentions were impure.

Just as she thought that, Ren’s palm reached for her. Her heart skipped a beat, but before she could react, he had quickly withdrawn his hand.

"!!! What did you do?" Uchiha Mikoto hugged her chest and retreated, flustered. She had just felt her chest being touched for an instant, so fast she couldn’t even see it clearly.

Ren spread his hand, revealing a Time Anchor. "Here. I just took this out of your body."

His luck was quite good, finding a Time Anchor so quickly.

But how could Uchiha Mikoto believe it? Her gaze glared at Kushina, demanding an explanation.

Kushina sighed. "Mikoto, don’t you see anything different about me?"

Uchiha Mikoto raised her eyebrows and scrutinized Kushina up and down, then said flatly, "There’s no difference."

"Huh?"

Kushina looked at Uchiha Mikoto as if she were an idiot. The current Mikoto looked to be seventeen or eighteen. That meant they had traveled back six or seven years.

Kushina’s own mature, 24-year-old face was apparently not noticeable to Mikoto.
