1 Encounter (1)

"This time is not the same as the previous times. The people there all have at least some magic, so you have to be careful..."

In the middle of the room full of advanced machinery and equipment, a white-haired man wearing a uniform similar to military uniform was talking to a young girl with a serious expression.

His outfit has black as the major color, combined with the yellow neckline and wristline that gave a sense of power and elegance.

Behind him there were some others, including two male and one female. Their outfit style was similar to his, but a little different in colors: Theirs had gray as the major color and the lines were in white.

Standing opposite them was a beautiful young girl with long, light purple hair. Unlike the presentable appearance of the group above, the girl wore a comfortable black outfit consisting of long pants and long sleeves, with a short jacket outside.

Hearing the man instructing a circuit, the girl couldn't help but intervene:

"Bro Toshiro, I said to you, it's "ninjutsu", not "magic"."

The man named Toshiro frowned:

"Whatever it is! Just need to be careful!"

"Yes, yes..." The girl nodded.

Toshiro went on to say, "Kaya, you don't have the ability to resist those magic, especially the one called illusion.So when there's anything bad happen, running is the first choice."

"Yes, I do remember." Kaya nodded again.

Kaya seemed to be listening earnestly and showed herself to be a professional who did not like to interrupt others, but in fact, in the deep of her heat, Kaya was continuously complaining.

Haiz, their "illusion" was not the same as the "illusion" kind that you were talking about, Bro Toshiro! They used "genjutsu", okay?

Also, I was the one who better understood that world than you !!!

Toshiro said for a while, even forced Kaya to constantly promise to act carefully. On the other side, Kaya also listened very patiently, and whenever Toshiro asked her to make a promise, she would do it right away.

At this point, Toshiro's appearance of power and elegance at the beginning of the story suddenly disappeared, instead, it was the image of a rambling man, and a poor little girl had no way of protesting.

"Toshiro, I already made Kaya promise this." A person who stood behind couldn't help speaking for Kaya.

Another person jumped in and said: "Come one, Toshiro. You told her a lot these days! She's not a freshman anymore! It's already her seventh mission..."

"Don't be fooled by this girl's look! Only a few times saying didn't make any sense for her! May be I have to to talk to her about eight hundred times before she goes..."

There were thousands of parallel worlds, each of which possessed a separate time and space dimension.

The Space - Time Management Bureau mentioned lay beyond from those time and space dimensions mentioned above, possessed a technology secret that enabled them to make trips through space and time, reaching the above parallel worlds.

However, not everyone who owned this technology could go through space and time.

Only people with appropriate physical qualities, combined with the experienced technology operations team of the Space - Time Management Bureau, could be able to conduct space - time traveling trips.

Once every three years, the Space - Time Management Bureau would use their technology to scrutinize parallel worlds, search for some "seeds" who could help them maintain the operation of the bureau, then bringing those seeds to their base, growing them up and training them.

These might be children who have the appropriate physical qualities to become a space - time traveler, briefly referred as travelers or astronauts. Or, they could be kids whose IQs of 140 or more, suitable to join the technology research and operation team to assist the travelers.

One important point was, all the children brought back were orphans, aged between three and five years old. Space - Time Management Bureau would not select individuals with family and relatives, no matter how excellent the child was.

Kaya was one of the members trained to become a traveler.

She was brought to the base at the age of four, then with friends of the same course, started learning and being trained.

Besides learning scientific knowledge like other human beings, they all had to go through countless training sessions in fantasy worlds created by artificial intelligence technology before the graduation exam.

After eleven years of learning and training, plus the graduation result graded as Excellent, Kaya officially took her first mission at the age of fifteen.

The missions that Kaya and other travelers had been taking was to travel to an appointed world, possibly the prehistoric world, the ancient world, the modern world, or even the artificial intelligence era, then by making some impacts on an event, a person, or a group of people in that world, they would help to adjust the direction of the future there according to a more positive direction.

Possible common missions could be to chang the future of a person or a group of people, to prevent the degradation or fall of a clan, to upgrade the lives of people in a city, to catch dangerous criminals that threaten the existence of the world, to improve environmental pollution on a planet, so on and so on.

All the missions were decentralized from One to Five. Level One was the easiest/ simpliest/ most compact, and level Five was the most difficult/ complex/ time-consuming.

The worlds were also decentralized from One to Five. Level One was the easiest to penetrate or had the lowest level of spacetime rejection, level Five was the most difficult to penetrate or the highest level of spacetime rejection.

During the mission, travelers could go through the world many times, at different time points, and create impacts on people, events at those times, aiming to make the changes that the mission requested.

Of course they would have certain obstacles in the process of performing the mission.

Firstly, they were considered by the appointed world to be "illegal intruders", so during the time living there, their body would suffer from health issues caused by spacetime rejection of that world. Therefore, to be able to live healthily in those worlds, they had to find some suitable materials to reduce the spacetime rejection. If they could not find out, their health would gradually get worse, longevity was reduced, and finally they would fail the mission.

Secondly, they were not allowed to kill any people in the appointed world, whether it was just for self-defense or any other reason. If they tried to kill someone in the appointed world, the mild consequence was that the body would suffer the counteraction and get weakened, and the severe consequence was immediately thrown out of the appointed world, longevity was reduced, and fail the mission.

Kaya was now eighteen years old. And this was her seventh mission.

The previous six missions were not too easy but not too difficult, and she finished all with Good to Excellent graded.

However, this time -

The mandator: The Sage of Six Paths

Appointed world: Ninja world

Contents of the mission:

(1) Prevent the fall of the Uchiha clan.

(2) Reconcile of discord between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

(3) Reconcile the discord between the Asura reincarnation (Naruto) and Indra reincarnation (Sasuke) before the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Mission classification: Level 4.

World classification: Level 5.

At the time receiving the mission information, looking at the name "The Sage of Six Paths" at the position of "Mandator", Kaya did freeze for a while!

Who could have guessed, her once-favorite manga suddenly turned into a real world? ➡ Please do not ask why people like her had time to read manga!

In fact, life at the Space - Time Management Bureau was not very different from some boarding schools in the other worlds. Although education and training were always conducted at high intensity, it did not mean that people like them did not have a relaxing time.

Although Kaya had learned about different types of worlds in the archives, and she did finish missions in different worlds, it still gave her a big surprise when she knew that there was a real Ninja world with characters like Naruto, Sasuke , Sakura or Kakashi existed.

Such an exciting and challenging mission!

Kaya's mission this time was classified as Level Four which included three mission contents, the Ninja world of Naruto was also ranked as Level Five world, that's why Toshiro kept talking and giving her such numerous instructions...

Patiently waiting until Toshiro finally stopped talking, Kaya then took a deep breath, calmly said: "Alright, I'm going now!"
