"This ninja who looks about our age actually knows the Flying Thunder God, an Ultimate Art!" Sakura instinctively looked at Seiki's profile. "And why do I feel like he's even more handsome than Sasuke... Hmm, it must be my imagination!"
At that moment, Seiki suddenly asked, "You two are Sakura and Sai, the ones mentioned by Naruto?"
Hearing Naruto's name, their eyes lit up. "Have you seen Naruto? By the way, where exactly is this place?"
"To put it simply, this is the parallel world of your original timeline twenty years ago," Seiki answered concisely.
"Twenty years ago? Parallel world?" Their heads spun—that wasn't simple at all!
"As for Naruto, he's just above us." After finishing his sentence, Seiki immediately transported Sāra away using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Though confused, upon hearing that Naruto was above, they didn't hesitate and swiftly mounted their bird to fly after him.
After the Dragon Pulse Chakra went wild, the battle on the ground became increasingly intense.
The Gatai puppet and Satori could draw on the Dragon Pulse Chakra, but Naruto and the others couldn't absorb it.
As a result, the balance of power began to shift slightly.
"The Dragon Pulse has gone berserk. With Sāra's strength, she can't even get close to it. Which means, you've already lost any chance of sealing it!" Anlusan cackled arrogantly, "Insignificant little bugs, before my Puppet Army—"
"Shut up! [Cherry Blossom Tearing Impact!]"
A flash of pink light shot past. It was clearly Sakura leaping from her flying bird, slamming a punch that sent the Gatai puppet crashing down.
"It's Sakuragami... Err, I mean Sakura! She's unreal!" Naruto cheered.
After knocking the puppet down, Sakura landed beside Naruto. "Naruto, what exactly is going on here?"
"I'm not sure how to explain either, but anyway..." Naruto exchanged a grin with Guy and gave him a thumbs-up. "Fighting side-by-side with our seniors as kids feels great!"
Following Naruto's gaze, Sakura was instantly stunned. "Bushy Brows Teacher, Asuma Teacher, and even M-M-Mizuki!"
Mizuki glanced over coldly. "Don't waste time talking; that thing is getting back up again."
"What do you mean, 'getting up'..." Sakura frowned in confusion, only to see the massive puppet she had struck down was indeed standing once more.
"Damn it! How dare you trick me!" Anlusan raged. If not for the attack being so similar to that young version of herself, he wouldn't have been startled like that.
"Die!"
Dodging the puppet's assault, Naruto explained, "This puppet regenerates infinitely!"
"What? Infinite regeneration?" Sakura exclaimed, "You guys have been fighting something like this?"
"Actually, this one's relatively weak. When Aniki Seiki fought it, its destruction rate exceeded its regeneration speed!" Naruto said half-embarrassed, half-admiring.
"Aniki Seiki? You mean the cool-looking ninja who redirected the attack using Flying Thunder God?" Sakura thought to herself in astonishment, "So his offensive power is this formidable too!"
"Aniki Seiki is absolutely insane!"
Naruto nodded firmly and added, "Right, he's also Lady Tsunade's disciple!"
"Huh? But I didn't hear anything about that..." At this moment, Sakura finally understood the implication behind Seiki's earlier words. "A parallel world?"
Meanwhile, after setting Sāra down, Seiki turned his attention back to Satori, who had already self-healed.
"You're truly impressive, Satori. Even throughout my long life, few have surpassed your strength! But ultimately, you can't escape the limitations of your species. Your fragile human bodies simply cannot contain the magnificent power of nature!"
"In this case, you can't defeat me, who can absorb Dragon Pulse Chakra!" Satori almost blurted out persuasively. "How about merging into darkness and letting me transform you..."
However, Seiki just smiled gently and said, "Sorry, but I can use Dragon Pulse Chakra too!"

Dragon Pulse Chakra was essentially pre-refined Sage Chakra, which spared him the refining process.
With that, Seiki immediately entered Sage Mode.
Satori's jaw nearly hit the floor in shock. It really wanted to ask, how could a mere human possess such power?
But when it tried to speak, even it felt confused by its own words.
Was this Konoha brat really human?
Feeling the endless surge of power within himself, Seiki couldn't help but exclaim, "Since mastering Sage Mode, this is the first time I've had so much Sage Chakra at once. Finally, I can fight without holding back!"
If someone used to stretching every penny suddenly got trillions, they're bound to get a little wild with it.
[Sage Art: Tenfold Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!]
Looking at the miniature sun suspended in Seiki's hands, Satori suddenly felt an urge to curse.
But before it could act on that urge, Seiki teleported behind it and hurled the [Tenfold Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan] like a "nuclear bomb."
Boom!
A force comparable to a category twelve typhoon ravaged through the town. The tall towers standing upon the earth were like toys built from wooden blocks, easily snapped apart and sent flying by the fierce winds.
The group fleeing from Anlusan's attacks were caught completely off guard and blasted away by the shockwave, while the large puppets fared even worse, riddled with countless wounds from residual energy waves.
"This affects me too?" Anlusan asked, clearly bewildered.
"Cough, cough!" Crawling out of the rubble with her face covered in dust, Sakura gaped at the giant figure standing tall in the middle of the storm. "This level of attack power is totally off the charts! Even Bijuu probably couldn't match up!"
Thinking about it, an unsettling thought emerged in her mind. "Could Master Tsunade still be keeping something hidden from me?"
"This is extreme! Is this still a ninja?" Yamato twitched at the corner of his mouth. He finally understood why the seniors always said ordinary Bijuu were no match for Senior Seiki.
Even Seiki mused, "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even be able to gather this much Sage Chakra at once."
But hey, it definitely felt awesome!
Bloodied and dazed, Satori's eyes spun in circles—clearly stunned by this assault.
"How's that feel? His power surge after the Dragon Veins went berserk might even surpass mine!"
While doubting his own instincts, Satori suddenly noticed Seiki raising another sun.
"Again? Wait, I give up—"
Boom!
The thunderous roar erupted as another shockwave swept through. The land, already ravaged once, was now engulfed in flames anew, resembling a post-apocalyptic wasteland. At its center lay a massive crater over a hundred meters wide.
Satori, one wing shattered, lay motionless inside the crater, his fate uncertain.
Yet despite this, Seiki still remained on high alert.
[Sage Art: Ice Release: Ice Coffin!]
After sealing Satori's entire body within the ice coffin, Seiki then pulled out a scroll to perform the final seal.
