Chapter 279 He did something unplanned
"Father?" Upon hearing this address, Kato Dan laughed loudly. "You've only been married a short time and don't have any children yet. My friend, aren't you mistaken about something? A father isn't someone you can just casually adopt."
"And where is this place?"
At this moment, Kato Dan was fully conscious.
He was certain that he had opened his eyes, but everything was dark, so he guessed that he had been under some kind of illusion and had been captured and brought here by someone.
The previous deaths were probably just an illusion.
"I didn't lie to you, Father!" The young man's voice carried a hint of admiration for his father, and he slowly appeared in the darkness, radiating a faint light.
Kato Dan finally realized that this place was not just darkness, nor did it seem to be some kind of illusion.
The young man opposite me was dressed in a smart outfit. Although he had the ambition of youth, there was a hint of fatigue between his brows. At this moment, he was staring at me, his eyes seeming to have endless things to say.
"I'm sorry, Father, this is how I'm meeting you for the first time in my life."
Looking at that face, a face somewhat familiar to him, Kato Dan felt a sense of surprise for the first time. "Hahaha, this can't be a joke, can it!"
His mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't figure it out for the moment, but he couldn't be wrong about the young man in front of him; it was an inexplicable connection, as if there were truly a blood tie between them!
"I'm not joking, Father."
The young man reached out and passed his hand through his body, his face serious. "Time is of the essence, let's get straight to the point. I am indeed your son, from the future. Seventeen years from now!"
Although Kato Dan found his words unbelievable, he could sense that the other man was not lying and that what he said was true!
He has a child!
In an instant, he thought of Tsunade's appearance before she left, and the maternal tenderness in her eyes that he had never seen before.
It turned out, the surprise was that she was pregnant.
"Hahaha, so I have a son!" Kato Dan suddenly burst into laughter, scratching his head with a hint of apology on his face. "Sorry, I guess I'll be absent for the next ten years or so."
He had already guessed the general situation from the conversation just now; if no one intervened, he would die during this period of time as well.
He was also unable to participate in his son's growth and future!
After the initial joy, Kato Dan suddenly snapped back to reality, his rationality returning in an instant.
He looked at the young man before him, his tone urgent: "No! Since I already died in the original timeline, saving my soul now will inevitably alter time and space, causing unpredictable consequences for the future!"
The young man shook his head: "It's alright, we've already paid the price."
"No, that's not right!" Kato Dan shook his head: "You don't need to sacrifice yourself for anything else. Nor do you need to deny your own existence for another version of yourself. From the moment you were born until you grew to seventeen, you have been an independent individual."
"Father, please let me finish. The era we live in has been ruled by the Demon of Insects. All of humanity in the ninja world lives in his shadow and fear. The Five Great Nations and Konoha no longer exist."
"The Demon of Insects?" Kato Dan's heart tightened, and an inexplicable unease spread through him.
He had never heard of such a thing. The crises in the ninja world had always been conflicts between nations and battles between ninjas. How could there be such a thing as a demon ruling?
"Our use of the Dragon Vein's reversed time this time is a contingency plan to cut off his future. As long as we can eliminate him and restore the ninja world to normal, it doesn't matter if our existence disappears."
"As for this place, it is not the real world, but a sealed space. You are currently only in a soul state. I used a sealing technique to freeze your soul here and seal your time."
The young man's voice carried a promise, tinged with a hint of guilt: "Father, please forgive me. Wait here patiently. Wait for me... wait for me to finish what I must do. After returning to the future, I will definitely come back to rescue you, to bring you back to the human world, back to... Mother's side."
"Mother? So the future Tsunade is still alive." Knowing this, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Now his son has grown up and is very handsome, and his wife is doing well. Even if he were to die now, he would be content.
Just then, the young man's shadow began to disappear, indicating that his chakra was about to run out, and he would fall into a deep sleep after the young man left.
"Wait a moment!"
Kato Dan hurriedly called out to the departing young man, who had many questions he wanted to ask and would not be at ease without answers.
"I haven't asked yet, what's your name? And who exactly is the Insect Demon?"
The young man turned around, his figure fading, and uttered a sentence, but his voice could not reach Kato Dan's ears.
He suddenly realized that this was some kind of limitation, so he simply said, "Yu Nu Zhicheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man stopped, and his chakra-condensed body instantly became illusory.
The golden sealing barrier tightened abruptly, imprisoning Kato Dan's spirit within. Darkness slowly enveloped his consciousness, and before falling into slumber, he murmured, "Aburame Shisei? Isn't that just a Konoha rogue ninja?"
-
In the Land of Fire, in a forest, the young man slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for having a little selfish motive. Now that I've dealt with my father's matter, it's time to get down to business."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, but it was not a genuine smile; it even carried a hint of insincerity and bitterness.
Because what he was about to do was to annihilate a major ninja clan—a clan that had long since broken away from the mainstream of the ninja world and stayed away from trouble.
He got up and walked out of the forest. In the distance, there was a misty expanse, a babbling brook, and low wooden houses scattered among the mountains, with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys and the sounds of chickens and dogs, just like a paradise on earth.
This is the settlement of the Earth Spider clan.
Because of forbidden techniques, they left Konoha and lived in seclusion there for generations, not participating in wars between nations and not getting involved in ninja feuds.
They guarded their ancestral secret techniques, living a self-sufficient, peaceful, and stable life, pure and harmless.
Unfortunately, this is the ninja world, where some things are born with original sin.
His purpose in coming here was to do so before Aburame Shisei destroyed the place.
Arrive here ahead of time, kill all the members of the Earth Spider Clan, and destroy the forbidden technique they have been guarding.
Before this, he had considered other methods, such as having the Earth Spiders hide incognito or flee overseas.
Unfortunately, he rejected all of these ideas, because no matter how vast the ninja world is, it has its limits, and he would find it sooner or later.
He took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and leaped down from a gap in the forest.
"There should be enough time; at my speed, it should be sufficient."
