[One Year Later]
Roran, within the Dragon Vein's forbidden grounds.
At this ti, the forbidden grounds had already completely transford into the appearance they would have twenty years later.
In the center stood a massive platform engraved with all kinds of runes, and at its center was a stone pedestal.
Seramu was now sitting on that pedestal, both hands raised, a vast amount of violet chakra swirling around her. As her hands moved, the chakra spun and leapt about.
Finally, under her control, this chakra flowed into a small object in front of her that looked just like a remote control.
The next mont, as the chakra poured in, a tiny screen on the "remote" suddenly lit up.
"Aoba, look, how's the result?", Seramu asked, her face slightly pale.
Standing nearby and carefully watching her condition, Aoba nodded, then reached out to pick up the "remote" in front of him and pressed a button.
"Sara, can you hear ?"
["Sensei? I can hear! I can hear! This is amazing, it really works even from so far away! Sensei, can you hear talking?"]
From within the "remote," Sara's excited and jubilant voice ca through clearly.
After becoming Roran's minister, Aoba hadn't stopped for a single mont, completely imrsed in developing the Dragon Vein.
Otherwise, with his girlfriend not by his side, the days were truly hard to bear.
Sara, the princess of Roran, would often co running over to play with him.
In his spare ti from research, he would also teach her so ninja skills or ninjutsu.
Over ti, Aoba beca Sara's Sensei.
He wasn't particularly worried about matters in his original ti-space. If nothing unexpected happened, by the ti he returned to it, only a few minutes, or even just seconds, would have passed.
anwhile, Roran's productivity had already greatly increased, tall buildings had risen up, and he had begun to research things that would be genuinely practical across the entire ninja world.
The communicator before them was one of these inventions.
"I can hear you very clearly too, Sara," Aoba replied with a smile.
["That's great!"]
Sara seed even happier, but soon she fell silent, as if thinking about sothing.
"Sara, are you alright?"
Aoba asked with so concern.
Sara's troubled voice ca, ["Mm~ It's such a rare chance, but I don't know what we should talk about?"]
"That kind of thing doesn't matter."
Aoba couldn't help but chuckle, "We'll be seeing each other again soon anyway."
["It's not the sa. Talking through a communicator, this is the first ti! Mom said, the first ti is very important!"]
Sara's voice sounded unusually old-fashioned, but quickly turned shy again.
["In that case, I've given my first ti to Sensei. Sensei must take responsibility, okay?"]
The corner of Aoba's mouth twitched, "If you've got nothing else, I'll just end the call."
["No, don't!"]
Sara quickly cried out to stop him, ["Sensei, when I co find you later, I'll bring so snacks. What flavor lollipop do you want?"]
Thanks to Sara's promotion, lollipops had already beco the most popular snack in Roran.
Aoba thought for a mont, "Banana milk flavor."
["Alright, alright, then I'll go buy so later."]
Sara sounded full of energy.
"Cough! Cough!"
Aoba was about to say sothing more, but was interrupted by a sudden coughing sound.
He turned toward Seramu and saw her covering her mouth, coughing softly.
"Sara, let's stop for now. Your mother doesn't seem to be in good shape."
["Eh? Then let's stop, Sensei, please quickly check on Mom!"]
Sara's anxious voice rang out, then the call was hastily cut off.
Aoba set the communicator aside and imdiately went over to Seramu.
Seramu leaned against him, collapsing softly into his arms.
"Thank you for all your hard work during this ti."
Aoba began checking her body.
But Seramu shook her head, a weak smile on her face, "This is all for Roran. If anything, I should be thanking you."
The hidden injuries from years of using Dragon Vein chakra had already mostly healed. Her current weakness was simply from exhaustion.
Developing the communicator was no easy task. After all, it used the Dragon Vein as a base station.
The first step was for Seramu to link with the Dragon Vein, then plan out a precise connection line within it. Only if the work was sufficiently fine could ssages be transmitted accurately.
"Here, take your dicine first," Aoba produced the pills he had already prepared.
"Mm."
Seramu obediently opened her mouth.
Aoba directly popped the pill into it.
"Aoba, by now you should also know how to control the Dragon Vein, right?", After swallowing, Seramu asked.
Aoba nodded at her words, "More or less. I can't handle it as easily as you, but I can already control it roughly."
"It really is amazing. Since the Dragon Vein was discovered, only the queens of Roran have ever been able to control it. I never thought you would manage it."
Seramu sighed, but soon changed the subject, "Aoba, it's been a year, and we still don't know, exactly which village's ninja are you?"
Aoba was silent for a long mont before he finally murmured, "Sorry, I can only tell you it's a very faraway place."
"I see…", Seramu didn't press further. At least over this past year, he had never shown any malice.
On the contrary, he had spared no effort in helping them.
In her eyes, Aoba was practically like an angel sent down to save Roran.
"Mom, your body isn't unwell, is it?"
Sara ca rushing into the forbidden grounds, and at a glance saw her mother being held by her Sensei.
Without another word, she sprinted over on her short legs, and from a distance leapt forward, "Sensei, I want a hug too!"
Aoba quickly turned, letting Seramu rest against his back, then caught Sara.
Sara happily clung to him, laughing and playing.
Seramu watched their close relationship, pressed her lips into a smile, and closed her eyes.
———
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.
In the Dragon Vein's forbidden grounds, Aoba slowly opened his eyes.
By now, he had finally more or less mastered the Dragon Vein chakra's space-ti properties.
He had even fused it into his own pupil technique, developing an entirely new effect.
Previously, Absolute Sealing would freeze space, making it like it was locked still.
Now, however, within that sealed space, the flow of ti itself could run faster than outside. And with the Dragon Vein's power, he could make that ti flow even faster or slower. Or even…
Reverse ti!
With this breakthrough, he already had a reasonable hypothesis for how to return to his original ti-space.
