1 Chapter 1 Greetings from the Narrow Gap of Time

"Sakura, it's time to get up and have breakfast..."

"Okay, Mom..."

Hearing the voice coming from outside the bedroom, Haruno Sakura got up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and began to get dressed and wash up.

It had been four years since she crossed over into this world. From a clueless baby at birth, she had grown into a little girl with pink hair and emerald green eyes. Haruno Sakura already knew which world she had crossed over to.

Naruto, a popular anime in her previous life. As an anime enthusiast, she had followed it until the end and then started following "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." One day, while bored and browsing the internet, she suddenly blacked out and woke up as a newborn baby.

At first, Haruno Sakura was confused and overwhelmed. Although her parents had died in an accident in her previous life, she still had many friends. She feared that her sudden disappearance would make them sad.

However, with the careful care of her parents in this life, Haruno Sakura gradually let go of her worries. Since the event had already happened, there was no point in regretting it. Instead of dwelling on the past, she decided to start a new life.

Just as she was starting to adjust, she saw something that shocked her during a shopping trip with her parents. On a tall mountain wall, four sculptures of faces were clearly visible.

It was only then that she realized that she had probably crossed over into the world of Naruto. Later, when she learned her name in this life, she became even more certain.

Haruno Sakura, the female protagonist of Naruto, inherited the name of the Three Ninjas, trained under the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and specialized in medical ninjutsu. Her monstrous strength inherited from Tsunade was praised by the First Hokage Hashirama during the Fourth Great Ninja War. She was also the girl that the male protagonist Uzumaki Naruto had liked for a lifetime, but she ended up marrying her first love, Uchiha Sasuke.

Thinking back to Haruno Sakura's life in the original work, Sakura couldn't help but feel a headache. In the early stages, her team leader Hatake Kakashi was powerful, but he was not a good teacher. Most of the time, he focused on Uchiha Sasuke, and barely taught his own student. Fortunately, Kakashi had a good personality and would protect his teammates even if it meant risking his life.

Later, she finally found a master, but as the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade was already too busy. Moreover, she was a gambler and an alcoholic, so she didn't have much time to teach her. Most of the time, Haruno Sakura had to learn from books and then have Tsunade guide her on the key points.

Through her own unremitting efforts, Haruno Sakura became a new Three Ninja without any clan secret techniques or bloodline limits. Although her strength was impressive in the later stages, she was unfortunately overshadowed by her two classmates, who were both overpowered protagonists.

As for her future, Sakura didn't know what to do. For now, she could only go to school and graduate, and then become Tsunade's disciple. However, she was proficient in chakra control, so she could work hard in that direction when she went to school. At least she needed to lay a good foundation and not waste too much time like in the original work.

Just as Sakura was about to open the door and go out, she suddenly realized that the whole world had changed. She was no longer in her bedroom, but in a peculiar space.

In the pitch-black space, countless colorful dots floated around, forming a nebula-like object. There were countless dots and countless nebulae, and the whole space looked like a photo of outer space from her previous life. Sakura was standing in the middle of countless nebulae with her feet suspended in the air.

"Where is this? The mind space?"

For some reason, the name suddenly popped into Sakura's mind. Just as she was wondering why she suddenly appeared here, six light clusters suddenly appeared in front of her. After the light dissipated, six crystal-like gems remained.

After the gems appeared, a page of paper suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Dear time traveler, we apologize for your accidental time travel due to our employee's mistake. After punishing the employee, we have prepared six Infinity Stones as compensation for the trouble caused to you. The stones are from the Marvel Universe, and we believe you have heard of them. At the end of the letter, we hope you can have a happy new life! [Letter source: Narrow Gap of Time - Time and Space Manager] [PS: The dangerous soul in the Soul Stone has been cleared, so you can use it with confidence.]"

"Damn it!"

Watching the letter dissipate into the air, Sakura couldn't help but sigh. She never thought that she would time travel due to an operational error. Fortunately, the Narrow Gap of Time was quite good, and they took the initiative to compensate her with six Infinity Stones. However, she felt like she had heard of the name Narrow Gap of Time somewhere before.

The Infinity Stones were from the Marvel Universe. In the Marvel movies, Thanos, who collected all six Infinity Stones, snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the life in the universe. They were almost the oldest and most powerful things in the Marvel Universe.

There were six Infinity Stones in total. The purple Power Stone allowed the user to master and manipulate all the power and energy they wanted to control. It supported other stones and could enhance their effects. With this stone, the user could even copy all physical superpowers and make their physical attack and defense abilities unbeatable. The user could have almost the strongest energy in the universe, and even the slightest release could release an energy shockwave that could knock down a large number of enemies. At maximum power, it could even trigger an energy explosion that could destroy a planet.

The green Time Stone allowed the user to reach any point in time, whether it was the distant past or the distant future. With this power, the user could watch or experience any era. If the user had extensive knowledge, they could do more, even manipulate time and causality. This made it possible to use the stone as a weapon, trapping enemies and the entire world in an infinite time loop.

The blue Space Stone allowed people to move themselves or any object to any space in an instant. They could also twist or reorder space according to their will, making space teleportation and space stillness as simple as breathing in front of the Space Stone. At the same time, it also contained immense energy.

The orange Soul Stone had the ability to steal, manipulate, or modify souls. The stone could not only control the souls of the living but also command the souls of the dead. This stone was also very dangerous because it had some independent self-awareness and a hungry soul. Ironically, this stone was essentially the entrance to a beautiful small universe like an idyllic poem.

The red Reality Stone allowed people to realize any dream. All scientific principles and natural laws were meaningless in front of it because it could modify them at will. The Reality Stone was not just capable of creating illusions that were indistinguishable from reality. If the user wished, it could completely turn into reality.

The yellow Mind Stone allowed the user to enter the minds of others and allow all dreams, thoughts, and ideas to enter the user's brain. It could enhance mental strength and increase mental abilities. Even under the conditions of other stones enhancing their power, this stone could simultaneously enter the minds of all existing things. Even a gentle touch could change the other party's mind according to the user's will. At the same time, the Mind Stone itself also contained immense energy.

Thinking back to the information about the Infinity Stones, Sakura felt that her future was bright. Under the excitement, the six Infinity Stones connected to her heart suddenly emitted a bright light, and the terrifying power spread from the stones.

"Oops, stop it for me..."

In front of this power that could destroy the universe, Sakura, the owner, felt as small as an ant. Fortunately, the six stones now completely obeyed her command. After Sakura gave the order, the stones instantly returned to calmness and floated quietly in front of her, emitting a faint light.

Suddenly, a familiar envelope appeared and opened in front of Sakura.

"I forgot to mention that these six Infinity Stones have very terrifying power, and your own power is too weak. So please be careful when using them. If the power you use exceeds the load of your body, your body will collapse because it cannot bear it. Although the Soul Stone can protect your soul from extinction, I believe you don't want to experience the feeling of death. [PS: Please try to keep your emotions stable in your daily life. The Infinity Stones are connected to your soul. If your emotions fluctuate too much, it may cause the power of the stones to go out of control and destroy the world. I believe you don't want to see that result. Finally, that's all. I wish you a happy life.]"

"Narrow Gap of Time, you bunch of scammers, I'm going to fight you to the death..."

In the space, which was like the universe, came Sakura's crazy scream.
