Chapter 308 Exploring the Road
Uchiha Fugaku immediately created a Shadow Clone and sent him to scout ahead.
The Shadow Clone reached out and touched the area.
Everyone watched intently.
As soon as the Shadow Clone's hand touched the cave wall, it was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread out!
It looked incredibly bizarre.
Everyone else who saw this scene immediately thought of a barrier.
Fugaku, however, had already suspected this was a random teleportation gate connecting two worlds.
"Wow, how amazing!"
Naruto's eyes widened as he exclaimed in shock.
The next moment, the Shadow Clone was completely swallowed by the ripples; to be precise, the Shadow Clone himself walked into the ripples.
Into these ripples, which looked no different from the cave wall.
Time passed by, minute by minute. After waiting for a while, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but ask, "Father, how is it?"
"Not yet, wait a little longer."
He hadn't received any memories from the Shadow Clone, which meant the Shadow Clone hadn't been dispelled yet.
After Fugaku's Shadow Clone walked into the ripples, his eyes first dimmed, seeing nothing and hearing nothing, as if all his senses were stripped away upon entering the ripples.
But fortunately, it didn't last long, only a few short seconds, and then his vision brightened, and sounds returned to his ears.
The Shadow Clone cautiously surveyed his surroundings; his mission was to scout ahead for his main body and gather intelligence.
After looking around, he found himself in a cave, dimly lit and pitch black. Although he didn't bring a flashlight or lighting equipment, the chakra his main body shared with him was enough for him to use ninjutsu.
The Shadow Clone formed hand seals and cast a Fire Release ninjutsu.
A fireball appeared in his palm, unreleased, held loosely in his palm to serve as a light source.
With the light emitted by the fireball, similar to a torch, it was enough to illuminate a radius of several meters.
The Shadow Clone first touched the cave wall behind him, which looked identical to the surroundings, but sure enough, the size of the "door" behind him was where the ripples were located.
That was the way he came.
He immediately noticed that in front of this "door," right at his feet, three stones were stacked up.
It seemed like some kind of marker.
If he hadn't known there was a door here, he might not have paid attention, but precisely because the stones were placed where the door was, there must be something significant, perhaps someone used them as a marker.
Uchiha Itachi and his companions had mentioned that someone named Hyuga Hiashi had vanished into thin air right before their eyes, and they suspected he was kidnapped by surviving goblins.
But the current situation was clear: Hyuga Hiashi, who had disappeared into thin air, had obviously accidentally fallen into the "door" and arrived in this world.
For some reason, he didn't immediately return to the Naruto world through this "door."
From his action of placing stones in front of the "door" to leave a marker, it could be seen that he knew there was a "door" here that could return to the Naruto world...
Wait, he should be able to go back, right?
The Shadow Clone hadn't tried yet. After taking two more glances, he immediately felt for the ripples and walked into the "door."
He repeated the same experience as before, losing all his senses for a few short seconds, then quickly returning to normal.
He opened his eyes, and the surroundings were as bright as day, with several figures standing in front of him—his main body and their companions.
When Fugaku and his companions saw the Shadow Clone emerge from the wall, Naruto was the first to exclaim, "Uncle's out!"
"Yes, I can come back."
The Shadow Clone nodded inwardly.
"How is the situation?"
Fugaku asked.
Since there wasn't much to say, the Shadow Clone didn't dispel himself to let the main body see the memories, but instead said:
"It's a 'door.' On the other side is also a cave. When passing through the 'door,' there are a few seconds where you lose all perception, unable to see or hear, like a void, but it quickly passes. On that side, near the 'door,' someone left a marker, most likely left by a Hyuga who disappeared from this cave earlier.
I haven't gone out to look yet, so I don't know anything else. What do you say? Should I go scout that cave now?"
Fugaku nodded and said, "Yes, you go. See what's in that cave and if it's safe."
"Understood."
The Shadow Clone nodded, turned, and walked back into the ripples, disappearing from everyone's sight.
