After the two of them, the big barrel of wood peach and the gold type, were blown up by Kaede Night one after another, the ninja world ushered in a long-lost peace.

Kaede Ye learns about the Otsuki clan from Kaneski, and one day leaves the ninja world and uses the Yellow Springs Hirazaka to open a passage to the distant world.

After traveling, drain the chakra, then use Time Rewind to revert to its previous state, then travel again.

A few days later.

Kaede Ya returns to the ninja world.

Kakashi asks Kaede what he's been doing in the past few days, and Kaede's answer is that he went to the Otsuki Gold and Momoki clan lands, punched the enemies he encountered one by one, and finally accidentally lost the Otsuki clan's planet, so he couldn't bring anything back.

Kakashi pondered this.

About a month later, Kaede Ye retired from the Hokage's position at the age of twenty-eight, and Konoha also ushered in the sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hachiki.

Since everything had been prepared before, and Kakashi's current strength had long been the apex of the ninja world, the Hokage's succession basically did not cause any waves.

Although many people are reluctant.

Many people wanted Kaede to continue as Hokage, but Kaede still retired and handed over all the power in his hands to Kakashi.

……

Years later.

Somewhere in the courtyard on the north side of Konoha.

Kaede Ye sat in the hallway, with a coffee table in front of him, holding a cup of tea in his left hand and sipping it slowly.

In front of him,

There sat a boy of about six or seven years old, with short silver-white hair.

"Hmm...... Therefore, the instinct of living beings is to reproduce and mate, whether it is in the female pursuit of male creatures, or in the male pursuit of female creatures, excellent individuals are often surrounded by more opposite sex, which is also the result of natural selection. ”

"The more excellent the individual, the more they can pass on their genes and have the power to reproduce, while those who are not good enough will not be favored by the opposite sex, so they will gradually be eliminated, and the part of the genes that belong to them will disappear over time."

Kaede Ye drank all the tea in one gulp, put the teacup on the table, and said, "Therefore, the more excellent the person, the more he can attract more people of the opposite sex, which is actually a criterion for judging whether an individual is good enough, including human beings." ”

"So don't be bothered by being surrounded by a lot of people of the opposite sex, because that's just a sign that you're good enough, and that's something you should be proud of."

The silver-haired boy seemed to understand something.

He nodded.

"I see, Uncle Kaede."

"It's good to get it."

Kaede Ye smiled slightly and stood up.

It was also around this time that Kakashi, dressed in Hokage's robes, walked over from outside and saw his own son sitting in front of Kaede Night.

Kakashi looked at Kaede and said, "Big brother, you didn't teach Sora some strange things, did you?" ”

"No, how could it be?"

Kaede Ye smiled and said, "I'm just teaching him how to look at what he encounters in another way, so that he can make his troubles feel different." ”

Kakashi stared at Kaede suspiciously, always feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

Kaede put on the clogs, walked to the room, and said, "Okay, Xiaokong is almost playing, you can take him back, and by the way, tell Xiaoqiong that he has nothing to do and come to play often." ”

Kakashi stared at Kaede's back until Kaede disappeared, then he looked at Hachiki Sora next to him and said, "What did Big Brother teach you just now?" ”

Qi Mukong said seriously: "Uncle said that Dad, you wear a mask is a sign of lack of self-confidence, let me not learn from you, I think what Uncle said is right." ”

Kakashi: "......"

……

Squeak, squeak, squeak,

Kaede stepped on the clogs and made her way to the rooftop of the roof.

He came to the edge of the rooftop, and after glancing at the distant sky, his eyes revealed endless depth, and if he looked closely, he could see from his pupils that the whole world was at sunrise and sunset, as if it had experienced endless time in an instant.

This is the power of Unreal Clock Scale IV - Predict the Future!

It's not just the ability to perceive the ephemeral future, it's the ability to see an infinite number of futures, and to see endless distant time!

The future is not a line, but a handful of sand.

To put it more figuratively, it is like a treemap, a treemap that spreads outward infinitely, and each point of difference will extend a completely different future.

Like the One Piece world, you can only meet the future for a few seconds, and you can only see one future, but the ability of the Unreal Clock Scale IV can see the infinite future and see all the future that may happen!

Other words.

Standing here, Kaede Night can actually see the end of time in this world.

"What a nasty ability......"

Kaede Ye closed his eyes, the luster in his pupils disappeared, and he became calm again, and he shook his head.

This ability was unlocked two years ago.

And after obtaining this ability, whenever he is interested in the future, he will use this ability to look into the future, and the perspective is like standing on a high place, looking at countless branches of time.

This ability is actually extremely powerful, but because of this, it also has a significant side effect, which is that it can make people lose interest in the future.

Because you can see the future of everything.

If you can see everything that is going to happen, it is actually a very boring thing, so much so that Kaede Ye loses interest in many things.

"If you use this ability too much, your emotions as a human will really fade away."

Kaede Ye muttered in her heart.

In fact, even if he didn't use this ability, he still lost interest in the world because he saw countless futures and saw things decades later.

"If you continue like this, you will not control time, but you will be controlled by time, and you will have to make changes......

Kaede Ye looked up at the sky in the distance, and a flash of depth flashed in her eyes.

After unlocking the ability of Scale IV, he received a message from the Unreal Clock, which was left by the previous holder of the Unreal Clock in time.

[The power you hold, I call it the Sands of Time]

[The Sands of Time can unlock a total of twelve time abilities, and when you get all twelve abilities, you will already be at the top of all time and worlds]

[In fact, after unlocking three or four abilities, you should have reached the apex of a certain world, and there will be no more than five abilities at most, so I recorded this information when you unlocked the fourth ability......]

[The Sands of Time has the ability to travel through time and space, and can go to different worlds]

[What I want to tell you is that unlocking the twelve abilities is not the end, nor does it mean that you are truly in control of time, you are still a puppet of time, manipulated by time, because your ego will gradually fade with time]

[I don't know how to resist, how to break free from time, and truly control time...... All I know is that if I continue, I will completely lose myself in the passage of time and become a puppet sculpture.

[I try to block my memories and regenerate myself, and every time I go to the apex of a new world, I get back everything before, but this method can only be delayed, not cured, unless I completely abandon my past, but in that case, I will no longer be me]

[I can't find a way to ......]

[I recorded this information here when I still have some self, and when you get this information, it means that I should have failed, completely lost myself in the passage of time, became a loser, and was abandoned by the sands of time]

[In fact, I have experienced so many worlds and so many pleasant times, and I am already satisfied, especially when the self is almost gone, and emotions such as 'dissatisfaction', 'unwillingness' and 'reluctance' no longer exist]

[I don't even think it's bad to pass away, my life is full enough - and that's what time is terrible]

[then]

【Good luck】

[I hope you can control time, not be controlled by it]

After getting this piece of information from the illusory clock, Kaede Ye was silent for a long time, and everything he had felt so far showed that there was nothing wrong with this information.

"I don't know how much time you've experienced, but my time has just begun, at least I won't give ......in to time easily."

Kaede muttered.

His gaze swept to Konoha below, across the entire Konoha Village, across the entire ninja world, and finally raised his head to look at the sky.

A pale golden glow appeared in his pupils, and the illusory clock appeared in his pupils, and then it was reflected, as if it covered the entire sky at once.

Airplanes!!!

Some strange force swings away.

Kakashi, who was asking Kaede what exactly he had taught his son, froze there.

The sunset red, which was cooking, was also frozen there.

Terumi who was bathing also froze there, and a drop of water froze on her body.

The wind was still.

The whole sky, everything in the whole world fell into a standstill, whether it was life or anything, whether it was the body or the consciousness, it fell into a standstill.

Kaede Ye also fell into a stillness, but just his body, his consciousness remained.

Time stands still ......

"No, it's not time standing still, it's stripping me out of it......"

Kaede realizes what's going on.

Then.

The illusory clock emitted a brilliant light, covering him at once, as if it were a large hand, pulling his figure out of this time.

What appeared in front of him was a golden river, saying that it was a river, but if you looked closely, you could see that every drop of water seemed to be a golden clock, constantly rotating.

He could feel the rapid aging of his body, and he didn't know that after tens of millions of years, he felt that his body was rapidly young, and in an instant he went back to the period of infancy.

Ultimately.

The power that had enveloped him vanished, and he fell downward.

The golden waves splashed,

He disappeared into the river.
