Bizarre, distorted, and filled with vibrant colors.
Deep within the Bone Eaters Well, which connected the modern era to the Sengoku Period across five hundred years of history, the concepts of time and space had been violently twisted together, forming a strange, weightless vortex of chaotic currents.
Modern high school student Higurashi Kagome was experiencing the most terrifying moment of her life.
"Let me go! Help! Someone save me!"
Her desperate cries were nearly swallowed by the howling space-time storm.
"The Shikon Jewel... it's inside you! Once I devour you, its power will belong to me!"
Mistress Centipede lunged toward Kagome, her monstrous form tightening around the girl.
Kagome struggled desperately, but the enormous demon was far too powerful.
There was nowhere to run.
No one could hear her cries.
The terrifying monster moved in to attack—
"No!"
Kagome squeezed her eyes shut in fear.
Then—
Crack!
The entire space-time current suddenly froze.
The colorful lights stopped moving.
Even Mistress Centipede's enormous body became completely motionless.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes.
What she saw completely shattered everything she had ever believed about the world.
The side of the space-time tunnel suddenly tore open.
A massive black spatial rift appeared as easily as though someone had ripped through a thin curtain.
From within the endless void, a tall figure dressed in a pure black robe calmly stepped forward.
Uchiha Tobirama had arrived.
His expression was completely indifferent as he looked at the frozen Mistress Centipede.
"A mere creature dares interfere with what has caught my attention?"
His voice was calm, but it carried overwhelming authority.
"Universal Erasure."
Buzz!
The moment those words were spoken, an invisible force swept over Mistress Centipede.
The enormous demon began disappearing from existence.
Her body, Demonic Qi, and even the traces of her presence were erased in an instant.
Not even dust remained.
With Mistress Centipede gone, Kagome was released.
She immediately began falling through the weightless space-time tunnel.
"Ah!"
Before she could fall far, Tobirama reached out and caught her safely.
Kagome looked up in shock.
The sight before her was beyond anything she could comprehend.
A mysterious man had appeared from a spatial rift, effortlessly erased the terrifying monster that had nearly killed her, and was now holding her securely within the chaotic space-time tunnel.
"Are you all right?"
Tobirama looked down at her.
Kagome was still trembling from fear and could barely form a coherent response.
"I... I think so."
Her voice was weak.
Tobirama nodded.
"Good."
He looked around at the swirling space-time currents.
The Bone Eaters Well had always functioned according to a simple rule.
Anyone who entered from the modern era was carried toward the Sengoku Period five hundred years in the past.
The direction of the temporal current was normally impossible to change.
But such a restriction meant nothing to Tobirama.
He looked at the flowing vortex with disdain.
"When did a mere well gain the authority to decide where I go?"
His words echoed through the tunnel.
The six-tomoe Rinnegan in his right eye suddenly erupted with overwhelming power.
A dark-golden radiance spread through the entire space-time passage.
"Reverse for me!"
Rumble!
The space-time vortex violently trembled.
The current that had been carrying Kagome toward the past suddenly stopped.
Then it twisted.
The colorful streams of light began moving in the opposite direction.
The flow of time was being forcibly reversed.
Tobirama had completely overturned the fundamental rule governing the Bone Eaters Well.
"Hold on."
He secured Kagome and turned toward the direction of the Sengoku Period.
With a casual motion of his free hand—
Swish!
Another spatial rift appeared.
On the other side was Cloud City, still floating above the Sengoku Period.
Tobirama reached through the rift and forcibly pulled the entire palace into the reversed space-time tunnel.
Kikyo, Ryungetsu Senki, Princess Izayoi, and Yura of the Hair were all caught completely off guard.
They stared in astonishment at the strange space-time passage surrounding them.
"What is happening?"
Kikyo looked around in confusion.
Tobirama calmly explained:
"I'm taking you somewhere more interesting."
His gaze turned toward the end of the tunnel.
"A world without the endless warfare of the Sengoku Period."
The women quickly understood that Tobirama had everything under control.
They restrained their powers and remained beside him.
Tobirama stepped forward.
His figure transformed into a streak of black light as he moved against the reversed current of time.
Cloud City followed behind him.
The entire group rapidly advanced toward the future.
Toward modern Tokyo.
Bang!
...
Back in the modern world.
Tokyo, Japan.
Higurashi Shrine.
Inside the shrine storehouse, the Bone Eaters Well had been left in complete disarray after Mistress Centipede's emergence.
Cold black energy continued drifting from its depths.
Outside the storehouse, Kagome's grandfather stood anxiously alongside Kagome's mother and her younger brother, Sota.
"Kagome! Kagome, are you in there?!"
Sota's voice trembled with worry.
None of them understood what had happened inside.
They were preparing to enter the storehouse despite the danger when—
Boom!
A tremendous explosion shook the shrine.
The roof of the storehouse burst apart.
Tiles and pieces of wood flew in every direction.
"Get down!"
The Higurashi family immediately crouched and protected themselves.
Moments later, they cautiously looked upward.
The sight before them left them completely speechless.
Through the dust and debris, a tall figure hovered above the ruined storehouse.
Uchiha Tobirama stood calmly in midair, his black robe untouched by the destruction around him.
Nearby stood Kagome, shaken but unharmed.
Behind Tobirama were four extraordinary women dressed in elegant clothing from the Sengoku Period.
Kikyo, the powerful priestess.
Ryungetsu Senki, the mysterious warrior.
Princess Izayoi, the noble princess.
And Yura of the Hair, the newly restored Hair Demon.
All four remained respectfully beside Tobirama.
The Higurashi family stared at the impossible scene in stunned silence.
Only moments earlier, they had been ordinary people living an ordinary life.
Now, standing before them was an existence who had descended from a completely different era and crossed five hundred years of time itself.
And behind him stood beings that had no place in the peaceful modern world.
The peaceful life of the Higurashi family had changed forever.
