Chapter 320: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [320]
"So this is Shirou-sensei's Dojutsu!"
Beneath the endless expanse of yellow sand, Sasuke, with his Mangekyō Sharingan activated, stared in shock at the scene before him.
The sky split open, revealing a spatial rift. Within it, a transparent, pale golden space membrane formed a visible corridor.
"Heh heh, as expected, the passage between these two worlds can indeed be opened with Hokage-sama's Mangekyō Sharingan..."
From the spatial rift in the sky came the raspy and excited laughter of Orochimaru. A moment later, the snake-like figure of Orochimaru, his tongue licking his lips in glee, slowly emerged.
"It seems Hokage-sama and Sasuke, you've only just arrived, but time flows differently in the other world—it has already passed for quite a while. However, the temporal speed is starting to stabilize..."
As Orochimaru continued his excited research, Shirou, who had opened the spatial tunnel between the two worlds with his Mangekyō, glared sharply.
"Orochimaru, you'll have plenty of opportunities to study later. If you dawdle any longer, you might end up permanently trapped in the spatial rift."
The immense chakra consumption had taken a toll even on Shirou, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. For the first time, he felt an unfamiliar fatigue in his eyes.
Opening a space-time tunnel between two worlds required an astronomical amount of chakra. Just using this dojutsu had nearly drained him dry.
"What a shame... looks like I'll have to wait for another chance."
