Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 180 ---

Yunlong flashed into white light, and the surrounding instantly became dim, which caused him to wonder for a moment because he could sense the flow of time.

Even though he was stagnant at the moment, when he grasped the clear line, everything around him changed again.

'How fascinating...' Yunlong calmly thought.

It was a new experience for Yunlong, and he quickly must move forward because his goal wasn't here.

[Keep moving forward, Host]

"I know," Yunlong responded and walked forward to the unknown future.

.

.

Yunlong suddenly stopped and noticed he had been walking for an indefinite amount of time.

[Keep going, Host! Do not stop here]

He took another step forward, which led him to a bright ray of light, and the surroundings changed again.

The familiar Ryumyaku sealing place entered Yunlong's vision, and he silently stood on the altar with complete silence.

[We arrived at the future, Host]

Neo monotonously announced, which caused Yunlong to frown because it was easier than he had expected.

"Time Travel was that easy?" Yunlong commented.

[It was because of Ryumyaku's help, which made your time travel easier]

[Without it, you might get swallowed into Time Storm and stranded in a dead timeline]

Yunlong clenched his fist a little and saw purplish minuscule chakra still hovering around. "I see..." He smirked slightly.

"Hmm?" Yunlong raised his head, and a powerful shock suddenly swept over this place.

BOOM!

A powerful explosion occurred on the surface, and Yunlong once again frowned in puzzlement.

He created a spear and broke through the ceiling with it because the entrance seemed blocked by something.

Yunlong appeared on the surface and a gloomy night greeted him. He also sensed a few gigantic presences a few kilometers away, which left him to wonder for a moment.

"Fourth Shinobi World War has started." Yunlong looked at the destroyed landscape with an attentive gaze.

Yunlong tried to sense his gifts for a few people in the past and noticed the majority of them gathered in one place.

"Fugaku and Rasa were at the same place. Hmm, I also sensed Shion's hairpin there." Yunlong closed his eyes.

"Another one is coming?" He slowly moved his gaze to the north and felt great energy surging from there.

--- Allied Shinobi Forces' Headquarters ---

Rasa looked at the sensing water sphere solemnly because the war has become more and more uncontrollable.

"What's the current situation?" Rasa asked a lazy-looking man, who's from the Nara clan.

"We were in a tight place," Shikaku calmly responded. "Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito have fired several tailed beast bombs at our forces."

"Fortunately, Naruto deflected a few tailed beast bombs away, or we might not survive now." He continued with a dry laugh.

"What do you think, Fugaku?" Rasa slowly raised his gaze to the roof, where Uchiha Fugaku calmly sat and silently observed the area around the headquarters.

"...I should have entered the battlefield with Hokage and Raikage, but they held me here. What can I do?" Uchiha Fugaku rudely returned, which caused everyone in the room to smile wryly.

Shikaku could only shake his head because the headquarters didn't have much protection after Hokage and Raikage entered the battlefield, so they only have Rasa and Fugaku here now.

Uchiha Fugaku actually wants to enter the battlefield after hearing his son arrived there, but Hokage's order restricts him.

"Well, Itachi and Sasuke were there." Uchiha Fugaku confidently commented. "So they at least would be able to control the situation sooner or later."

"Again with your overproud father's moment." Rasa suddenly mocked while releasing a sigh, which caused Shikaku to chuckle.

"Huh?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned. "Aren't you the same?"

Rasa scoffed and quickly responded, "You and I aren't the same. My son achieved more than your son! He's the Fifth Kazekage."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Uchiha Fugaku doesn't want to hear Rasa's words anymore because it only made him annoyed, and he'd talk literally for hours.

"This is bad..." The observant suddenly muttered.

"What happened, Inoichi?" Shikaku asked with a frown.

Inoichi released his headgear and looked at Shikaku with a complicated expression. "A tailed beast bomb has been launched toward us." He responded.

Everyone in the room was baffled by Inoichi's statement, and they were aware a tailed beast bomb from the ten tails would kill them.

Rasa quickly moved toward the roof and saw Fugaku activated his eternal mangekyou sharingan, which were his son's eyes.

"Did you also bring it with you?" Rasa suddenly asked, to which Fugaku responded with a nod.

Uchiha Fugaku took out a golden needle and slightly grasped it with his left hand.

"He probably won't come. There is no sign of him coming." Uchiha Fugaku commented while taking out a small jug of wine.

Rasa approached him and also took out a wine jug, which was Yunlong's gift for them.

"Well... At least, he was a helpful person." Rasa calmly responded.

They released a sigh because Yunlong had helped them in the past, but sadly after he disappeared, there is no sign of him coming back until now.

"Haa... How frustrating." Uchiha Fugaku tossed the wine jug to Rasa, to which he also responded in the same manner.

Tak!

They drank the wine without any care, and Shikaku's voice appeared afterward.

"Do you want to have a few words with your son?" Shikaku asked because he already has talked with his son, Shikamaru.

"No." Uchiha Fugaku calmly answered with a smile.

Uchiha Fugaku had already had a serious talk with his sons a while ago, and they should have to know everything necessary, even though it was sad, he already died once.

"I need a few moments with my wife." He suddenly added, to which Shikaku responded with a nod.

Rasa looked at the night skies and replied, "Let me talk with Gaara."

A short moment between family happened, and Rasa couldn't help but release another heavy sigh.

"Father... Do you love, mother?" Gaara suddenly asked, which formed a wry smile on Rasa's face.

"I loved Karura. She's always inside my heart." Rasa naturally answered while closing his eyes.

"I see..." Gaara's voice lightened slightly.

Gaara stood on the battlefield with teary eyes, but he needed to hold himself together because he was in front of the enemy right now.

"Gaara, I couldn't forgive myself, but I'm sorry..." Rasa silently said, which caught his son off guard. "Also... Say my goodbye to Temari and Kankuro. Say that I'm sorry for not being a competent father."

Even though Rasa has reflected on his past wrongdoing, he couldn't change the past.

Inoichi suddenly connected Temari and Kankuro, and they immediately heard Rasa say, "I loved you all."

The connection suddenly dissipated, and an enormous tailed beast bomb quickly flew toward them.

"Are you ready?" Uchiha Fugaku asked, to which Rasa responded with a nod.

They walked forward and respectively used their strongest jutsu.

Uchiha Fugaku used his Susanoo, which stood hugely like a big mountain with a samurai-like appearance and purplish armor.

(An: Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo resembled both Itachi and Sasuke's but with no wings or weapons)

Rasa raised his hand, and golden dust flew to the skies with exceptional momentum and formed a great wall around the headquarters.

He floated to the skies with golden dust and created a gold golem made of golden dust, which stood beside Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo.

"The last time?" Uchiha Fugaku casually asked.

"Maybe?" Rasa lightly laughed.

The tailed beast bomb came straight toward them, and they moved forward to deflect or stop it.

Uchiha Fugaku called a purple sword for his Susanoo and tried to bash the tailed beast bomb away.

On the other hand, Rasa tried to content the tailed beast bomb with his gold golem.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH"

They both roared bravely with a burning fighting spirit and out of nowhere heard a familiar voice.

"Yo, It's been a while." Yunlong suddenly appeared and smiled at them. "Need help?"
