Naruto's Journey to Training

The bloody setting sun dyed the broken walls into amber crystals, and Akainu's military boots sank into the glazed ground made of solidified lava.

He looked at the monster ten meters away - Regulus's head had swelled into a three-meter-high tumor, and hundreds of mouths covered with spiral sharp teeth were opening and closing synchronously, and screams of different tenses were coming out of each mouth.

&34;Sizzle——!!!&34;

When the sound waves swept across the battlefield, folds of time and space suddenly appeared around him. Akainu saw the magma dripping from his fingers suddenly solidified into stalactites. What was even more terrifying was that the silver-blue light drawn from the soldiers' heads was gathering into a river and flowing into the monster's mouth.

&34;Click&34;

A crisp sound suddenly came from Akainu's spine. He raised his hand and looked, his pupils contracted violently - he saw age spots appearing on the back of his hand.

The muscle memory forged from thirty years in the Navy was disappearing, even the smell of sulfur lingering on my fingertips was beginning to fade.

This was still a physical change. At this moment, he also found that he seemed to have forgotten a lot of things, including the hatred that had supported him through all these years, and the concept of justice.

"Damn it! Armament Hakure Hell Dog!"

Akainu roared, using his existing memories to launch his most perfect straight punch.

However, the next moment, the gushing magma degenerated into Mars. In one of Regulus' mouths, he was chewing the slice of time when he gained the power of the fruit at the age of eighteen, and in the other mouth, he was sucking his extremely precious memory of time.

It was a man and a woman holding a boy who was smiling happily.

When Akainu saw this scene, two tears unconsciously slipped down his resolute face.

"How pathetic~" Countless huge mouths resonated in the turbulence of time and space, and the shadows of Akainu at different ages appeared on the surface of the tumor. "The life you are so proud of is nothing but a thousand-layer cake for the gods to enjoy~"

"No! Stop it, you monster!"

Akainu let out a sigh of sympathy in anger. He absolutely did not want to lose the most precious time in his memory.

However, when Regulus, who had turned into a monster, saw Akainu's anger and anger, a hint of even more excitement and madness appeared on his face, and his several huge mouths chewed faster.

"Yes! Yes! That's it, a little sadder, a little more powerless."

However, just when Regulus was reaching the peak of madness due to Akainu's wailing and pleading.

A whisper rang out.

&34;Timely rain, blue swallows flow, breaking the sky. &34;

Then, the surrounding torrent of time was like being cut by a sword of time, and the lines of time that were originally pouring into Regulus' mouth were cut off one after another.

In an instant, the time around them also stopped, including Regulus, who also mastered the ability of time.

Regulus moved his only movable eyeball and saw a man in a black uniform and a cloak slowly approaching.

The hem of Uchiha Lieyang's feather robe passed over Akainu's shoulder, and the golden seven-magatama Sharingan in his eyes turned the magatama slightly, turning the area of ​​100 meters into a black and white silent film. He lightly raised the tip of his knife, and a strong pain was transmitted into Regulus' mind. Regulus wanted to open his mouth and scream desperately, but because his time power was suppressed in all directions, the only eye he could move at this moment could only reveal the extreme crying.

Because Uchiha Lieyangzhen swallowed him from the abdomen one by one, and all the fragments of time were gouged out from his stomach.

"You like to play with other people's time--" Uchiha Lieyang stepped on a piece of the clock that was running backwards, and broke it. "The mouse who steals other people's lives should be trapped in his own time forever!"

After saying this, Uchiha Lieyang's blade paused slightly, and then drew a mysterious trajectory in the still space and time, and the dark cloak surged like a cloud hanging from the sky.

Countless bronze gears of time emerged from the void, crushing the biting sound of Regulus's seven hundred and twenty sharp mouths into the thin sound of an hourglass pouring.

"Eight million moments, is that enough for you?"

When a complete clock emerged from Lieyang's seven golden magatamas, the entire battlefield suddenly broke into countless mirrors.

Each fragment reflects Regulus' appearance at different stages - the infant form gnawing on a baby's toes, the newlywed form tearing out a bride's heart, and even the complete form that is now twisted into a tumor.

The tumor monster suddenly let out a high-pitched scream, and from one of its mouths spewed out the twenty years that Akainu had been robbed of.

But before the silver-blue light touched the ground, it was completely crushed by the suspended gears of time. Sparks bursting from the meshing of the gears actually burned out the calendar mark of "Seven Years of the Empire" in the void.

"A mere demon of time, do you think you are worthy of calling yourself a god?" Twelve marks suddenly appeared on Lieyang's scabbard, corresponding to the time numbers on the clock, "Pupil Technique: The Emperor of Moments."

At the moment when the knife flashed up and down, Regulus' seven hundred and twenty mouths vomited out rainbow-colored gastric juice at the same time - that was the one hundred and three thousand lives that he had devoured over hundreds of years.

The slime turned into a bronze cage the moment it fell to the ground. Each fence was a fragment of time that he had plundered, and now it was entangled around the main body in reverse.

Akainu stared at his palm that had regained its youth, and suddenly half a pocket watch was stuffed between his fingers. Lieyang's voice came with the chaos of time and space: "When you count to the seventh pendulum, attack the darkest gear."

When the chain of the pocket watch suddenly straightened, Akainu's fist, which had turned into lava, smashed the gear in the center without hesitation. In an instant, the entire time cage collapsed.

The last thing Regulus saw was the first cicada he crushed when he was a baby - the memory that should have been swallowed was now turning into golden sand and pouring into his eye sockets.

"No...it shouldn't be like this..." The tumor faded into a pale embryo in the torrent of time, and the seven hundred and twenty mouths degenerated back into the cry of a baby. "I am obviously...eternal..."

The wind caused by Lieyang's sword swept across the battlefield, and countless gears of time turned into cherry blossoms and drifted away. He bent down to pick up the last cherry blossom on the ground, and the petals were printed with Regulus's complete life story - this time even the moment of his first cry was forever frozen in the morning light of the empire's seven years.

Uchiha Lieyang exerted a little force, and the petals turned into powder, then floated away in his hands.

At this moment, all the soldiers on the battlefield were staring at this scene in a daze, including the soldier who died first, whose eyes were full of surprise and doubt.

Because if their memories were correct, it seemed like they were dead just now, but looking at their still intact bodies and their smooth breathing, everything seemed like a dream.

"General team!"

Suddenly a soldier stood at attention and saluted Uchiha Lieyang.

The other soldiers also reacted and saluted Uchiha Lieyang together.

Akainu held the pocket watch that Uchiha Reiyang had just given him in his hand, and an indescribable complexity flashed in his eyes. Is this the person closest to the emperor in the empire?

That ability to control time is truly unmatched. Thinking of the monster just now, Akainu felt a little powerless.

The ability to devour other people's time is simply unsolvable for people like him, but even such a monster died easily at the hands of the headquarters. Perhaps only the great emperor can balance such power!

Thinking of this, Akainu saluted Uchiha Reiyang seriously.

"Thank you for saving my life just now!"

Uchiha Lieyang nodded slightly.

"For the loyal imperial soldiers, my emperor does not want to see you sacrificed!"

After saying that, he didn't say anything else, but disappeared from the place in a flash.

All the soldiers looked at the disappearing Uchiha Lieyang with a touch of emotion in their eyes, especially those who had died once.

For them, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire is their faith, and their faith has not abandoned them!
