Title: Time Manipulation

....

What appeared in front of them wasn't anything fancy as one would have imagined. Infact, they didn't even fully understand what they saw but somehow, they were able to tell it was something amazing.

What was written was simply, "You can only spend five Hours in here and Five minutes would have passed outside."

Shun had decided to give them the opportunity to read up whatever it is they wished to read on chakra Theory as today will be their last day in here after all.

From tomorrow, Shun had already planned on making it a hands on teaching/learning experience. Whatever they're able to learn today will be with them forever.. or so he wished.

The two boys looked at this text and then looked at eachother in both confusion and intrigue until Madara was suddenly hit by a strange thought. "Ah!" Startling Hashirama.

"What!?" Hashirama screamed back. "This is it." Madara answered excitedly much to Hashirama's ire. "This is what?" Hashirama questioned again.

"This is what made it possible for us not to feel tired after everything that happened yesterday. Think about it. We exhausted our chakra, went through that hellish torture, and suddenly woke up refreshed as if we didn't pass through that hellish torment in the name of training." Madara explained.

Hashirama thought about it before his eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "You don't mean... How is that possible?"

"I don't know, but this old geezer is not simple at all." Madara said and looked around with a fiery gaze.

"It's seals." Shun's old voice drifted into the room. "But you won't be concerning yourselves with that so the earlier you make use of this opportunity, the better for you."

"How does he do that? Doesn't this mean he can hear us?" Hashirama whispered softly.

"I guess we just have to learn that from him before his time is up." Madara said and began shifting through the book in his hand.

Hashirama too picked a book and began shifting through it before they realised a huge problem.

They looked at eachother and then at the book again before throwing it away. "These aren't the language we know. Damnit."

What was written was Japanese but that of the ancient times. Over the years, various variations and styles had been created and gradually, even the common katakana from centuries had been improvised.

"Sigh." Shun's sigh came once again. "Read it again."

Crack!...

And as though a dam had broken in their mind, they suddenly felt like they understood what they had just read and looked at eachother with widened eyes.

This once again, confirmed their thoughts that this old geezer was not a simple character at all.

What Shun had done was to release a tiny layer of the seal he had put into Indra and Ashura's soul all those years back when he visited them for the last time.

The seal was created to record every memory all the reincarnation will have, their experiences, actions, kinks and others for a purpose only he knew about.

As they gained renewed understanding of the book they had just read, they attributed it to Shun's mysteriousness and began browsing through the books on chakra Theory.

Five hours quickly passed and the two boys began feeling lethargic, their surrounding became distorted. They staggered to maintain their stance while trying to circulate their chakra, but it was as though chakra control didn't exist in their respective consciousness.

Before they could hit the ground, their vision shifted and they were once again outside, at the edge of the Mountain where Shun had found them the day before, with his back facing them.

"It's good that you both didn't die in there, I wouldn't have known how to bring you back to your families." Shun said without looking back.

They didn't reply as they were still trying to get used to the shift.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Shun said as he looked at the green sea of trees.

This place was actually the settlement where they had all lived all those years ago. The river flowing below was the river created when Indra slashed the village in two on the night of his first attack.

This mountain was where Indra had taken residence when he was brooding after he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"You two have a lot of connection to this land more than you know. If you're successful in creating that village of yours, then I'll be your village protector even as a ghost. Hahahaha." Shun said mirthfully

"How about you both head home and think about what you've learnt. You can also instruct your little brothers on what you've learned but don't bring them here." Shun said and turned around looking them in the eye. "The moment you bring them here would be the moment this little school of ours would come to an end. Remember that."

Shun then proceeded back into his cabin and leaving the two to their own devices.

He knew that soon, Tobirama and Izuna would both grow suspicions of both their big brothers, and in their vain attempt to protect them, they would snitch on their brothers who will in turn be ordered to snitch on eachother but will end up snitching on their fathers to the other.

"Troublesome." Shun muttered as he thought about that. He could only use a minor illusion to obstruct both fathers when they come. "Tajuma Uchiha and Batsuma Senju, huh? Two unique boys back then. They too had potential but the burdens of war made them quite.. Hard headed."

"Sigh. How time flies." Shun muttered to himself as he opened a door in his cabin and walked through, but not before returning to his original appearance.

"Shun-sama, welcome back." A row of beautifully dressed maids bowed as he walked through the hallway he just entered.

"Hmm." Shun nodded as he admired his handwork. These puppets were already sentient enough since their creation all those years ago.

This mansion alone had the highest war potential in this entire planet both now and even in the future fourth war. Every single maid here had the base chakra of 100k units. Whether that was the Jounin level or Kage level had yet to be known.

Walking to a throne like chair at the end of the hall, he sat down and pressed a button. In the next moment, the ground beneath him shifted and a long spiral stairway appeared beneath him.

Standing up, he proceeded downward at a leisurely pace until he reached the end of the stairs. "Kai!" He said and the air in front of him twisted to reveal a doorway which he pushed open.

"How's the dragon vein coming? Would it be possible to time travel soon?" He asked as he entered.

"Is that how you greet your wife you forced to remain indoors for decades?" A mature female voice asked back causing him chuckle and teleport behind the lady who just spoke.

"You know that's not true my little moon princess. Also, you quite enjoy the new hobby don't you?" Shun asked as he groped around the woman's body while also kissing and biting her neck and ears.

"Ahhn. Stop that Shun." The 'Little Moon Princess.' Kaguya, moaned at his actions.

"You aren't stoping me, Princess, actions speak louder than voice you know." He said as he continued his actions.

In next to no time, she was only on her underwear with Shun thrusting his little brother in and out of her lower mouth.

This went on for an unspecified period of time as they were both in a time variant zone. {A/N: Made up, don't think too much on it.}

"So, how is the research on time manipulation going? Is it possible to create a time travelling portal?" Shun asked as they lay on a mattress he had created while stroking her hair.

"Mmm." Kaguya snuggled closer to him and said. "This dragon vein is weird, it has times when it fluctuates and also times it's just that, a mass of energy." Kaguya said and Shun kept quiet and allowed her to continue.

"On its own, it's impossible to actually act as a time travelling medium, but I believe if you take control of it, it would be possible." Kaguya explained.

"Its a part of the planet right?" Shun asked, "Mm" Kaguya nodded. "Then shouldn't you be able to do the same too? You're literally immortal as far as this planet exist."

"Hmm... That's true but this energy has an aversion to my energy. It's as though it's was made to replace the energy I had stolen. An energy to reset the damage I had done. Something like that." Kaguya scrunched her eyebrows as she tried to explain.

"Hmm... That seem to make sense, somewhat." Shun muttered.

"How so?" Kaguya asked as she looked into Shun's eyes while lying on his chest.

"Imagine it as safety protocol the planet takes when it feels threatened. This energy might be a new energy that was produced to overwrite the energy you had siphoned from this planet. Hence it's unique time properties." Shun explained.

"Hmm... That's plausible but isn't the progress a little to slow? Close to a thousand years had passed since that day, why is it only doing this now? Also, this energy wouldn't even be powerful enough to overwrite the energy of the world with the speed it's developing. If not for us, some other human may have discovered it and probably sealed it or used it for his/her own purposes." Kaguya reasoned and Shun nodded.

That was really a possibility. The original palace of the kingdom of Rōran was built over this location and a seal placed over it by a possible Uzumaki.

It wasn't mentioned whether or not Sara was an Uzumaki but if her red hair was anything to go by, her ancestor was probably an Uzumaki that stumbled upon this land.

But that wouldn't add up, Sara's mother, Seramu had black hair so was it her father that was Uzumaki? The story did take place in the past when the Uzumaki was just massacred. Perhaps a survivor survived and married the queen?

Ah... That's what happens in the future of an alternate timeline, right now, this Rōran is being ruled by a civilian council in a democratic system of government introduced by yours truly.

Also, the Uzumaki clan shouldn't be destroyed in this timeline as the Tengoku clan should be keeping tabs on them, along with the Senju and Uchiha clan.

Well, whatever happens happens. I'd at best, send them to a separate dimension should Zetsu plot against them as he did in the Canon.

Closing his eyes, Shun shut of his consciousness as he went into a forced sleep state.

Although he didn't need it, it was still his habit to sleep every once in a while.

As for how the future plays out, that will be left to his future self to handle.

So I'm gonna be doing it fast-paced. The MC, Shun is the protagonist so I have no obligation writing about wars that's have nothing to do with him.

Also, there will be minute info dumps every now and then mixed with my own additional thoughts wherever The original anime overlooked.

Enjoy.
