"2" Sora started weaving hand seals. "1" Suddenly a beam of light emerged near the wolf, penetrating its heart. A kunai could be seen in the light where it landed after penetrating the spot.
"It time-travelled somehow," Sora said. "I have a seal on the kunai which could tell how much time passed for the kunai, and it says only 2 seconds," Sora said like he was declaring the end of the world.
The others were stunned. The two who weren't convinced before were now having pale faces."What should we do now?" Ino asked quickly controlling her emotions.
Choji also calmed down, he had faith that Shikamaru will somehow make them go home safely and have barbeque."Hmm, we experiment, what else could we do?," Sora said.
Sora fired a wind jutsu- a wind slash at a rock in a straight line, but midway it changed into a curved path, then it changed into a fire jutsu and then a water jutsu, finally hitting the rock, deleting it from existence.
Everyone present was puzzled at what happened."That jutsu should have the power of a D-rank jutsu, but it somehow got converted into S-rank, also chakra nature changed, along with shape manipulation as the thickness and density of the slash increased considerably, " Sora said.
"What else did you observe?" Shikamaru asked
"I noticed that in this place, nature energy is not present, but a similar chakra is present, I think that is responsible for distorting reality here in this realm" Sora answered.
"How did you know the time when the kunai hit the wolf?" Ino asked."I don't know, Shikamaru told me via these glasses, you guys can communicate with me using these, just write the message on the screen you see through your glasses," Sora said.
Ino tried that, and a hello could be seen by everybody present."Wait, how did you know when it will hit?" Ino asked Shikamaru.
"I did maths," Shikamaru replied, saying that statement told everything.
"What maths? Also weren't wormholes and blackholes just a theory that some old ninja proposed a few decades ago?" Ino asked.
"Well, that guy's theory seems to be working here," Shikamaru said. "I was interested in this a few years back, so I checked it then, but I don't know how we will show this proof to the world."
"Wait, who cares about the proof, how are we gonna exit this?" Ino yelled at Shikamaru who was now back to his usual lazy self.
"Now, now, nee-chan, we will find a way out, probably," Sora said, his words not comforting her but rather doing the opposite.
"Okay, let's try changing the wavelengths, it somehow changes the perspective around us," Shikamaru said.
Sora did that, and they saw various scenes: dinosaurs fighting, a sleeping panda, and a cat staring at them.
"Meow," the cat said.
"Wait, can the cat see us?" Choji asked."I don't think so," Shikamaru said.
"Neither of the previous things was able to sense us, we could interact with them, but the reverse wasn't true. It seems we are on different planes of reality, and interaction can be only done through Wormholes. Seals on objects somehow work through the wormholes, we are probably seeing things from different times in space-time itself, so this cat is not from our time but rather some other time, she shouldn't be able to see us, until and unless she has the ability to see through space and time."
Shikamaru took a sip of water and continued."We are like on different planes of reality and interaction could be done through wormholes, the dinosaurs we saw are from ancient times" Shikamaru finished speaking and others nodded, however, the cat seemed to be yawning while looking at Shikamaru and started yawning just when Shikamaru finished speaking, indicating that it was sleepy during his lecture.
"It's probably a coincidence," Shikamaru said. The cat jumped towards Shikamaru but passed right through him."I think the cat at this time has just gone crazy," Shikamaru said trying to keep his previous point true and preserve his sanity.
The cat tried again and again, pouncing on Shikamaru, but she only met with failure."Neko-chan, you want the bell?" Sora said, attracting the cat's attention. The cat tried to grab the bell, Sora changed its position multiple times, and the cat responded.
"Neko-chan can indeed see us," Sora said.
"Does she really have the ability to see through space and time?"
"Well, I guess she does have the ability," Shikamaru said completely speechless.
"How about we try Ino-neechan's mind transfer jutsu on the cat?" Sora suggested, making everyone look at Ino.
"Ino, are you ready for this?" Shikamaru's voice was steady, masking his underlying concern. The thought of sending her consciousness into an unknown entity in a place where nothing was certain was troubling, but it was their best option to gain more information.
"I'm ready," Ino replied with determination. She knew the risks, but her resolve was firm. "This might be our only chance to understand what's happening here."
Sora stepped forward, his eyes focused and calm. "I'll help you form the shadow clone. You'll need the extra chakra to make sure it's stable enough to handle the mind transfer jutsu."
Ino nodded and extended her right hand, mirroring Sora as they joined their index fingers in a cross sign. The familiar sensation of chakra blending filled the air between them, as Sora carefully moulded his chakra with hers, creating a stable and powerful shadow clone.
"Steady now," Sora murmured, concentrating on maintaining the perfect balance. The clone materialized before them, its form solid and well-defined, with an aura of energy that reassured them of its durability.
Before proceeding, Sora quickly placed a seal on the clone's back, a meticulous design that would serve as a safeguard. "This seal will protect you," he explained, addressing Ino as well as the clone. "If the clone dispels, any harmful or foreign memories won't transfer back to your main body. It'll also help project the clone's experiences for us to see."
Shikamaru unrolled a scroll and spread it on the ground. "I'll activate the projection seal," he said, pressing his hand to the scroll. The seal lit up, ready to display whatever the clone experienced. This technique had proven invaluable before, and it would allow the entire team to observe without putting Ino's main consciousness at risk.
Ino's clone stepped forward, her hands forming the familiar sign as she focused on the cat. The feline gazed back at her, seemingly unfazed by the attention. The clone closed its eyes, inhaled deeply, and then released the jutsu.
"Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
Ino's consciousness shot out of her clone's body, momentarily disorienting as it latched onto the cat by going through a wormhole.
In that instant, the link was made, and Ino's mind was connected to the feline's, while her main body remained fully conscious, able to see and feel everything that her clone experienced due to the chakra link.
If she had the question of what happens with the main body when a clone uses mind transfer, now she has the answer.
Through the projection, Shikamaru, Sora, and Choji watched as the cat's vision blurred and then refocused, giving them a view from its perspective. The world around them seemed to shift as if the cat's consciousness was being pulled into another layer of reality.
"Ino, are you okay?" Shikamaru's voice came, clearly concerned.
"I'm fine," Ino's main body responded, her voice steady despite the strange sensation of being in two places at once. "I can see everything the cat sees. I'm in control."
